Jessica left fully knowing she had poked a sour nerve in the girl. However, she bumped into someone she didn't expect to see so soon in the elevator. By the time she realized, it was already too late to leave. "Still the trouble making Jessica. I'm kinda surprised, for you to be a personal assistant, the person must be of a higher caliber, not so?" Liam Verlice, a handsome devil and one Jessica had been running from for a year. He had trapped her in an elevator, leaving her to his mercy. "Stay away from me, Liam." She retorted with a scoff and turned to the side. "I will after you tell me why you've been running away from me..." ... Queenie got home that afternoon on her own. She had to persuade the man to go to work that she was going to be fine. After minutes of persuasion, the man accepted and left. But not without assigning three of his best men with her. One which was Wensley, Gray and Vincent. Vincent took the wheel as usual. Recalling something, she asked him.
As Queenie stared at the three women all dressed casually, she couldn't believe her eyes. "What did you two say you're doing here?" She finally asked. However, the two women were smiling sheepishly. Only when Alicia poked them did they snap out of their thoughts. Regardless of her help, that didn't stop them from turning to glare at her. "Roxanne Nexter and Audrey Hepburn, to what do I owe this great visit?" Queenie asked again, this time, her eyes fluctuated between the two brow heads. Audrey, who had a frickle and was fond of putting on a serious countenance, spoke first. "It was just so unfair Jessica had to be the one to attend to you. I mean what does she know?" Now, that didn't go well with Jessica who was seated right beside Queenie. Before she could retaliate, the phone in Queenie's hand rang. Taking a look at it, she noticed it was from her manager, Anna. "Hello?" She spoke as soon as she answered the phone. "Do you realize you have a movie to shoot?" The harsh tone
"Ms. Ken demands your presence immediately!" The assistant said domineeringly. Roxanne wanted to say something, but was held back by the gentle smile on Queenie's face. "It's alright, I'll be there soon." However, the assistant made no effort to leave. Instead, she raced her voice and repeated. "Ms. Ken wishes to see you right now, Ms. Knights!" This time, Queenie, who wanted to play nice, frowned. As she looked towards Alicia's direction, she couldn't help frowning. Alicia just liked to throw her weight around. When the assistant saw Director Dixon walking towards them, she raised her brows in smugness. She had no idea what would befall her. "Ladies, what's going on here?" Director Dixon asked. The assistant who was bent on getting on Alicia's good side, Instantly started complaining. "All I asked her to do was come see Ms. Ken, but she insulted me and made it look like I wasn't trying to get her attention. When I tried to reason with her that it was Mrs. Aspens who needed he
As soon as she left, the phone in Jessica's hand rang and she excused herself to answer it. Having nothing else to do, Roxanne and Audrey searched for a spot and sat down. Then took out their phones to handle their company affairs. "How did she react?" Lucian asked from the other end. Jessica sighed and folded her free hand under her bosom. "I saw nothing on her face. However, I believe she was hiding how she really feels." "I feel so too. Pierce called me this morning and told me what she said when she saw the news. Apparently, my little sister has decided not to be so boring and deal with her enemies accordingly. I can't wait." Lucian retorted from the other end. The two talked for some minutes more before the call ended. When Jessica turned around, she almost got a heartache. It was Alicia's assistant. The one who had walked up to Queenie and spoken rudely to her."Seems you love snooping around." Jessica said with a frown. The assistant merely looked her over and walked pa
Alicia had to leave almost immediately as she received a call from Velon. When she got to the man's office, she noticed there was a kind of celebration going on. She had been gone for a week, filming. Velon had been constantly reminding her to be careful as any strenuous work could affect their child. She didn't knock on the other and opened it as soon as she got to Velon's office. His secretary was taking some notes. She couldn't help but frown with displeasure when she noticed the shortuniform skirt the latter had on. Velon didn't notice her countenance as he had his head lowered onto a book. When he raised his head, she had changed the look to a cheerful one. "You came so fast. I guess you're done with filming for today?" The man asked brightly and walked towards her. "Absolutely." Alicia replied charmingly and leaned over for a kiss. The secretary soon excused herself while the couple dallied. Soon, their clothes were off. "You sounded like what you had to tell me was so
Vincent had only gone a little further from the house when Queenie asked him to turn around and head back to the house. He obliged and when he got to the house, he saw a familiar black Porsche shooting out of the gate and the horrified looks in the eyes of the maidservants. He needed one to tell him Pierce's weird temper had kicked in again and it was all because he argued with his younger brother. Again! Queenie didn't have the time to notice their expressions as she walked hurriedly into the house and straight into her room. She pushed the door open and heard a cold voice. "I think you should leave!" "Oh, if you say so." She muttered in disbelief and turned to walk out only to hear the man's hurried voice. "No, I wasn't talking to you." Slowly, she turned to look at him. With a shrug, she walked towards the man who was still embedded in a tuxedo. "I received an emergency call. Was told you were not fine." She said and looked him over. "However, you look fine to me." The ma
Nighttime in Maile, The Knights' MansionThe Knights triplets stood with their hands behind their back, facing their father who laid weakly on his bed. He had requested their presence and as such, they remained quiet till he spoke."I entrusted my company to you to manage in my stead. I am not dead, at least not yet. So any major decisions concerning the company ought to be discussed with me." the man began."Lucian, you've been in charge. Can you explain to me what it is that I'm hearing?" He asked Lucian who stood in the middle, directly opposite the sick man.Lucian leaned forward to answer. "Father, what I did was a smart move. Velon's company was dwindling and he couldn't keep up with it anymore." he explained."That is no reason for you to buy that bastard's company!" old Knight retorted. "I've always told you boys that nobody, nobody should involve themselves with Queenie or that peasant of a man she calls her ex-husband!" he added."It was solely for business purposes father.
When Queenie looked towards a direction, she thought she saw someone duck. So she got up and headed towards the pillar. When she got there, she found no one there. Just then the phone in her pocket rang and she took it out to see it was Audrey calling. "What is it?" "It's almost eleven and you're not yet in the filming set! You're clearly giving Alicia something to slander you with." Audrey huffed from the other side.Queenie held her forehead with her free head and sighed. She had totally forgotten! Glancing at her time, she assured Audrey. "If the director asks where I am, tell him I am on my way." "I've been telling him that for about an hour. I don't know what he'd think of me if I tell him that again." "Then you tell him I live three hours away." Queenie retorted and headed outside the house. "Don't be so shameless, Queenie. Since you knew that, why didn't you leave your three hours away house on time?" Audrey fired back. Queenie was about to retort when she heard Direct
