She smirked and walked down the corridor.***"You caused this!" Stephanie yelled at Carmen as she packed her few belongings.Her body was shaking vigorously in utter anger, "You caused all of this! I regret the day you became my manager!"Carmen who had been trying to keep her cool flew up in anger when she heard Stephanie's last sentence."Mbo? Did you just say you regret the day I became your manager?! I should be the one regretting the day I set my eyes on you!You are so selfish, stingy, arrogant, and aggressive! You complain even at the slightest thing! Nothing pleases you! You accuse other people of sleeping their ways up to the top like you didn't do the same, you fucking whore!" Carmen snapped.Writhing with visible anger, Stephanie raised her hand to whack Carmen's face.But before her hand could land on Carmen's face, Carmen stopped her mid air as she gripped Stephanie's wrist roughly."I'm done!" Carmen stated and pushed Stephanie's hand away.She bounced out of the office
***The following day, news that the CEO of Empire World Corporation, the richest man in Asia, and every woman's crush, was getting married, was released. It travelled far and wide. It was the talk of Asia.Women were jealous, men were now at peace, thinking their wives would stop crushing on him when he gets married."Is it Stephanie. . .?""Is it someone else who is as wealthy as him?""How come no knows who his bride is.""No! He shouldn't get married.""Mine."The whole of Asia was in chaos as no one knew exactly who the lucky woman was.The only thing everyone knew was the day the wedding would take place and that was the next day. Everybody was eager to know who the woman he was getting married to was.The Manchesters and the Chois spent the day planning on the wedding.* * *"Wow! The gown is so gorgeously beautiful!" Evelyn gasped as she watched Emily step out of her closet in a dazzling diaphanous flowing wine gown that fitted her perfectly.The gown had tiny diamonds fasten
Within a twinkle of an eye, he took of his clothes and raced to the bathroom before his wife would say she had changed her mind.Emily chuckled and thanked God silently for the man he blessed her with. Who would believe a low life like her could send the CEO of Empire World Corporation running with few words.Slowly, she extended her hand towards the drawer and placed the wine glass on it.She unzipped her dress and slipped out of it, leaving her body left with a black bra and pant. She wore Joel's bathrobe that was lying on the bed and headed for the bathroom.There, she saw her husband under the running shower, running his hand through his hair.Taking in every detail of his nakedness with her eyes, she blushed; he was even much more handsome when naked, with water running down his body.Since Joel had his back to the doorway, he didn't see Emily step into the bathroom. With her eyes still on her husband, Emily slid down the bathrobe and silently, she tiptoed to Joel and wrapped her
🏢🏢🏢"Aisshhh!...Nothing ever works out perfectly for me," Emily pouted her lips and angrily tossed away the unopened soju bottle.She took a deep breath, propping herself up on her elbows, and gazed at herself in the mirror, clicking her tongue disapprovingly. "Tsk tsk tsk," she muttered.But then, a small smile appeared on her face. "You're such a failure, Emily," she whispered to her reflection."Ahhh, getting dumped today was actually a good thing," she declared, nodding vigorously.Emily stood up from the chair and grabbed a sweater from her closet. She slipped on her slippers, put on her earmuffs, and took the last bit of cash from her purse before heading out of her studio apartment.She had decided to visit a bar and have a cocktail shake.🏬🏬🏬In a certain corporation, the conference room was as cold as ever, not because of the air conditioners, but due to the CEO of Empire World Corporation being in an unusually foul mood. He had never been known for his good temper, but
Joel's eyes scanned the door for a while before he creaked it open. He closed it behind him and took long strides towards the girl lying on the hospital bed with her left hand and leg bandaged. He stared at her for a while before taking his seat, watching her as she breathed softly... the girl looked so fragile and naive.Back at a certain villa, Little Pumpkin kept walking back and forth, continuously checking through the window as if waiting for someone to drive in. After checking the driveway through the window for the umpteenth time, he climbed down from the chair and walked towards his father."Dad..." he called out."Huh?" Michael looked up at him from the settee he was sitting on."Is Uncle JJ not coming back home tonight?" Little Pumpkin asked keenly as he sat down next to his father."I don't know." his father groaned."How can you not know when you are his brother?" Little Pumpkin pouted."Arghhh, I don't have any supernatural power." his father rolled his eyes."Besides, it'
"I mean...do you not know him?" Noah pointed at his boss.At least, if she didn't know him, she'd know his boss. Everybody knew his boss. Everyone."Anyo." Emily shook her head negatively.(A/N: anyo is another shortened form of no)"Y-yo-you truly don't?" Jude stuttered."Ani." Emily shrugged her shoulders.'Oh my, which planet is she from?' Noah blinked his eyes rapidly."But...." Emily pursed her lips."But?..." Noah stared at her with rapt attention.'Maybe she finally recollects.' he thought."I think I've seen him somewhere before..." Emily narrowed her eyes and placed her right hand on her chin as if thinking deeply."Hmmmmm....." She hummed thoughtfully."Think deep..." Noah cheered her on."Ahhh!...Now I remember!" Emily grinned and snapped her fingers."So?.." Noah grinned at her expectantly."Hmn...I think I've seen him at Quick Wash before." Emily clicked her tongue."Quick Wash?...what is Quick Wash?" Noah stared at her bewilderedly.Joel arched up his brows."It's a laund
Emily worked part-time at five different places: a cafe, a restaurant, a drive-in, a diner, and a bistro.One of the places she worked at in the morning was Hot 'n' Chilly, a cafe where she served as a server. As she slipped open the glass door and entered the restaurant, a smile spread across her face. "Annyeonghaseyo!" she greeted cheerfully."Annyeon Emily!" Madam Ma, the restauranteur, replied without looking up, recognizing Emily's voice.Madam Ma gasped as soon as she looked up at Emily. "Aigoo! What happened?" she exclaimed.Emily pressed her lips together. "Ah, this?" She smiled sheepishly. "I got hit...""Aigoo!" Madam Ma exclaimed. "I've always told you to be careful. You're too clumsy," she scrunched up her face.Emily scratched the back of her head. "I... I was a bit careless.""So, the driver was blind?" Madam Ma frowned.Emily gulped, thinking to herself, 'If that driver were here right now, you wouldn't have said what you just said.'"Um... I came to ask for a few weeks
The Villa:After parking the car, a smirk curled up on the side of Joel's mouth as he stepped out of the car and casually tossed the car key to one of the nearby guards.Emily bit her lip as she opened the door, hopping out of the car on her right foot and reaching for her crutch."Annoying bastard," Emily scrunched up her face and stole a glance at Joel, who was already approaching the door, "with fast legs," she sneered angrily, placing the crutch under her arm.She slammed the door shut in annoyance, muttering to herself, "Too wicked."Suddenly, the car started making alarm sounds, snapping Emily back to her senses. She widened her eyes and flinched away from the car, finding it just as annoying as its owner.Joel stopped in his tracks and turned towards the car's direction, his attention captured by the commotion.The maids around also halted and stared at Emily, their curious gazes fixed upon her.Feeling a sense of guilt, Emily lowered her head, allowing her hair to fall freely o
