Jo POV

Monique’s confrontation with Gwen shocked me. Her audacity was surprising. Didn’t she understand after Mr. Baron and Mr. Mason confiscated everyone’s phones to erase the scandal’s videos and photos this morning?

Everyone was given a warning.

Not that I agree to the harsh methods, but I know that more than anything, the Olsons are protecting their name. And why not? Their reputation is their business.

Since he worked here, Mr. Damian has always shown that he is a fair boss. He ensures tha

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 148. Quiet Conflicts

    ​Gwen POVI was so excited at the prospect. Even though I still have not clarified my eligibility to join the contests, I am already making plans in my head.Even Jo was set to join. We were both excited, making plans.“Why don’t you interview Senator Adams? I think he can be a good subject since he was elusive to the media.”I made a face, remembering my previous encounter with Senator Adams and how uncomfortable it left me. The idea of interviewing him brought back those uneasy feelings.“The public already speculated on our relationship. I do not want to bring that up. I can’t endure another scandal. Besides, I don’t really know him. I just met him because he was friends with Damian.”I was glad that I finally had to clarify that at least with her. It does not matter what other people think. What is important is that Jo and the few friends I made here knew that I was not a loose woman who was fame-hungry, as had been magnified in some news reports.I appreciated that Jo hadn’t judg

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 147. Elevator Tension and Ambitions

    Gwen POVI thought my day would end on a good note, but I realized that I had no control over things when we bumped into Monique accidentally.We were waiting for the elevator.Jo and I were teasing each other good-naturedly. She was telling me about her developing crush on Baron, and I was grinning so hard because she was already planning in her head a future with him.“You are not even dating.” I pointed out, grinning.Jo smirked at me. “Not yet. But you will see. That Baron will be mine.” She told me with an exaggerated coquetish tone that did not fit her at all.I guffawed in laughter, and that was when the elevator door opened. We both stopped when we realized who was inside the elevator.Monique!We both fell silent at the sight of her.She looked at us as if we were just air, and then she turned her head as if she did not see us.I pulled at Jo’s sleeves, warning her.I also wanted to emphasize the message that I was hesitant to join Monique at the elevator, but Jo was already

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 146. Thank You, Friend

    Gwen POV“You are crying.”I was shaken out of my temporary stupor and lifted my gaze to Jo, who looked puzzled as if she was trying to decode a national problem that had eluded our generation’s geniuses.“Come again?” I asked, unable to catch her words. Then, I noticed the way she was staring at me and could not help but ask.“Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something in my face?” It was meant to be a joke to dispel the change in the atmosphere. It has become quite heavy all of a sudden.“That is because you are crying.”After hearing what Jo had to say, my hands lifted so I could wipe my face with the heels of my hands.She was right, I thought to myself after feeling the wetness from my cheeks.I really did not know what made me cry. “Maybe it was a delayed reaction from the heavy workload earlier. The boss was quite strict and brutal.” I told her, but even I felt that they weren’t true.It was the thought of my past that brought on the tears.“I am sorry. You shoul

    Gwen POVAlone, I looked at my watch to check the time. Then, I hurriedly went to get my phone to call Jo. I had hoped to catch her before she leaves.She answered on the second ring.“Are you still at the building?”I was looking at the two food packages on my table, hoping Jo would say she was. I realized I did not want to eat alone, and I have so much food in my hand right now.Relief swept through me when Jo said she was still here. I quickly set up for us to meet at the employee’s lounge, my mood shifting with renewed hope.She was there ahead of me. A smile wreathed her face when she saw me enter.“I thought you would be staying longer?” She commented when I sat down beside her and pushed the packages in front of her.“For me?” Her eyes widened in excitement.“Nelly’s!” She exclaimed, mentioning the name of the restaurant near the building.Well, Jo and I were the same. We love simple pleasures, and food was one of them.“Yes. Let’s eat.” I told her and opened the packages.I w

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 144. Take Out

    Gwen POVI was seething in anger the moment I marched out of Damian’s office, clutching to my chest the sheaf of papers that he threw on his desk, which I collected.I was so angry. On normal days, I would have kept my mouth shut, but the way he kept egging me on, it seemed to me like he wanted me to blow a fuse, and I did.My body shook, but I also felt a release. I realized I needed to vent out.It took me some time before I calmed down, and when I did, I began to tackle the work he assigned me.It was not an easy task. I do not have any formal skills in technical writing. Despite the lack of knowledge, I gritted my teeth and began working. Damian should know that I never backed down on a job.And I am not only good at housekeeping, but I also know my way around the office.For a while, I concentrated on the job. I thanked the heavens that the three did not bother me. Damian did not call me to add more orders. Baron did not leave the room to chat with me.An hour had passed, and I w

    Damian POVAn awkward silence followed Gwen’s exit.It was as if she had taken all the life away from the room and left it in total silence.The three of us felt uncomfortable at the silence following Gwen’s outburst, while we all stared at the door where she had gone out and left it cold and bare.“Aren’t you being too harsh to her?” Mason commented rather ruefullyI shook my head. I wasn’t convinced I’d been brutal. Deep down, I knew I had to do what must be done while my time here lasted.“Did you see her face? Did she look pitiful when she exploded?” I countered.Baron and Mason shook their heads.“She was angry. Every fiber of her being radiated fury,” I added, feeling a flicker of satisfaction at the thought.I wanted to jump and cheer for her, but she was already gone. Still, I am so proud!“Gwen needed to release her pent-up emotions. It was not helpful in her condition to bottle everything up inside. She needed to vent out.” I am sure Baron and Mason already knew it, but I c
