Inside the spacious and luxurious but dull-coloured CEO's office of the Euston's Corporations, a handsome looking man with a serious face bent down facing the documents he was scribbling something on, he kept the document at one side of the table after a while of going through them and took out another paper from the drawer of his expensive mahogany office table, his dark eyes narrowed as he scanned through the paper and a deep frown settled on his brows while massaging his forehead with a pen.

"Hey, Drew! What's up, bro?"

Justin suddenly entered the office without bothering to knock or seek permission before entering and it earned him a glare he was used to from Drew, it wasn't his first time barging into his office like that when he wasn't needed because it happens almost all the time.

Justin Bellomy wasn't just a personal assistant to Drew Euston, he was also a very close friend and he was the only person who knew Drew very well he never missed a chance to tease and poke at Drew because he enjoyed every angry reaction from him, though he was the troublesome kind, he knew and understood every bodily reaction from Drew, Phoebe was always the water that was there to cool off the fire between the two grown-ups with one behaving like the naughty junior and the other like the tolerant senior.

"I don't remember calling for you"

Drew's hollow but deep voice filled with nothing but authority rang out in a low pitch.

Justin tsked as he stared at Drew before making himself comfortable on a couch.

"I was too bored and I came to suggest we go out somewhere to cool off"

Drew raised his head from the paper he was looking at and stared down at Justin which could have made any other person flinch and pee on their pants but not Justin, he stared back at Drew with innocent eyes as if he knew nothing but only god knew how much he wanted to guffaw out without any restrictions but he continued with his act.

"I am busy and I know you have eyes to see, leave my office and I'll call you when I need you later"

Drew said his words with finality and turned back to what he was doing but Justin was just too deaf to comply.

"Sigh. Seeing how boring and hollow you are right now, I think you should get a wife immediately, someone soft that could withstand your cold nature but not that mute girl of the Cintron."

Justin gave a scornful look at Drew when he mentioned the girl of the Cintron, he was confused as to why his friend chose that kind of girl to marry, it was shocking to him, but he purposely said what he said to make Drew spill out his reason because he curious and he was scared his curiosity would kill him if not satisfied. Drew lifted his head again and looked sharply at Justin…Why did he pick Cintron's mute daughter?... He had no reason why he chose to marry her but all he knew was that each time he would see her, he would find himself attracted to her for no reason at all. Of course, like any other elites out there, he attended business parties and other social gatherings and though, he was always low-key, he never failed to watch her from wherever he sat. It had happened for a very long time now but he made no effort to make a move and would only stare from a good distance and her beauty was what he could not get over with.

Although she had a twin sister whom they shared the same look with but something about her made her stand out, he would always see her quiet in a corner and with her face blank with no emotions to express, contrary to her other twin, she hated attention on herself because of the kind of eyes people set on her due to her mutism which wasn't a piece of news to anybody in the social circle. He suddenly received the information from his reliable assistant (Justin) that Mr Cintron was asking for a partnership with their company and even received numerous business letters for an alliance Mr Cintron stated the alliance through marriage to his infamous daughter and he agreed without further hesitation.

"Help me to find out the reason behind Adaline Cintron's mutism, check any information about her past and see if there's anything you can find, maybe if she had any traumatic event that triggered her mutism, now."

Justin gave a teasing smile to Drew after he heard his instructions Drew had no time for his banters at all but he was too stupid to get the message.

"Awww! Such a caring husband or should I say, soon-to-be husband? But you haven't told me your reason for choosing her, I may die out of curiosity, c'mon!"

Drew's jaws ticked at the way Justin was suddenly behaving.

"Justin?" His low voice called out in a threatening manner which Justin did not miss.

"Okay, fine fine, am going but cou….."

"Out, NOW!!"

And Justin scurried out of the office to get work done immediately or he would get roasted alive.

"Does he have to be so harsh?"

Justin mumbled as he walked out and into the elevator, as much as he wanted to still provoke Drew to no end, he was also curious too about the girl. What kind of traumatic experience could have possibly made her like that? His thoughts were interrupted by the female masculine voice he was very familiar with.

Why didn't she join the movie industry? She would be the best actress of all time!Although surprised, he didn't reply immediately. He looked intently at Adele, gauging her expression as if wanting to read through her thoughts."I'm happy you've finally understood why I didn't want you to marry that psychopath. You've finally grown and can now understand situations, that's good." He nodded but Adele wasn't pleased with her father's words. She held on the hem of her dress tightly so that her anger wouldn't show on her face.Psychopath?! He is not who you think he is, urghh!"Your idea sounds great too. The

    "Look at that. Mirabelle, don't you agree that my father is such a hardworking man?"Adele spoke and held a proud smile, her words brought the attention of both men on them. But the person whom the question was directed at was lost in her own world. Mirabelle held a dreamy look and her eyes that were glued on the man who stood beside the CEO's table were filled with unspoken emotions. Obviously infatuation. –Author rolls her eyes–The man Mirabelle was staring at shamelessly, undressing him with her eyes, was Matthew Edgerly, Mr Thom's personal assistant.He was a tall man with a nice build, shoulder length strawberry blonde hair which he swept to the back, making his chiseled face more prominent.His voice was deep and he spoke smoothly that Mirabelle felt like she should swallow his mouth whole. In a few words, Matthew was sexy and Mirabelle was obviously hooked. She wanted him.The urge of having him to herself had her clenching her hands and thighs together, to calm herself down.

    Mirabelle felt her insides churn the moment they arrived at Cintron's company. She quickly got out of the car and she thought she would throw up everything inside her, but thankfully, she didn't."Hey, that's so much of a ride. We could have died." Mirabelle gasped as she threw an accusatory look at Adele."My apologies that I'm not sorry. Maybe next time you could use your own car." Adele had her brows raised in nonchalance which had Mirabelle snorting in disbelief."I bet you don't know how ugly you look with your bish attitude towards me. For the love of God, am your one and only bestie." She pointed her index finger towards herself as if the whole world had wronged her."And that's why I'm lovingly being honest with you. If you're going to keep sulking, then just shut up." Adele spoke to have Mirabelle roll her eyes upwards and they both stepped into the building.They didn't have to go through any formal process to gain entrance into the building because everyone in the company,

    Justin didn't protest to Drew's words, he was more than happy to abide by whatever Drew requested him to do but the same could not be said for Natalie. Her face crumbled the moment Drew stopped them from entering the backseat, he gestured for her to go to the front passenger seat beside Justin."Why should I sit there when I am your guest? Don't tell me you don't know how to treat people right." Natalie widened her eyes at Drew in anger and disbelief. She was really getting fed up at how she was being treated today and how Drew was behaving towards her. Nobody had ever dared to embarrass her to this much extent, she was being treated with respect wherever she went and she was finding Drew's attitude towards her very insultive.But Drew was the least bothered. "Ms Madison, if you have no interest in accompanying us for breakfast then you can leave rather than disrupt our time." Drew said dryly without sparing her a glance. Knowing that if she kept arguing with Drew it would change n

    "I still can't hear you." There was a devilish grin on Drew's face and Adaline wanted to so much punch his face so hard that those smiles would disappear."I said I want them to join us." She repeated and Drew silently stared at her. His hands were still around her waist and he could feel how soft and small she was in his hands. Drew was elated that Adaline spoke to him. Her voice was soft and melodious, he could kill to hear her speak to him. Drew felt Adaline struggle in his hold."No." His voice was firm and Adaline didn't know what he said the no for. Was the no for her struggling to leave his grasp or for her words. She stopped struggling and tilted her head with a frown."They won't come. It's just the both of us and I am trying to make up for not being present yesterday." Drew spoke with a frown. He wasn't present yesterday but when he arrived at night, he saw her sleeping soundlessly on his bed. After helping her change from her uncomfortable dress in the dark room, he slept r

    Drew was taken aback by Adaline's gesture. He stiffened and finally relaxed when she patted his chest. Is she trying to calm me down? Drew asked himself in inward amusement and he felt satisfied."Am fine." Drew whispered but Adaline still stood where she was and didn't move. She also didn't know why she suddenly leaned close to Drew and patted his chest but it happened even before she could comprehend it. But it doesn't look so bad. She thought back at what Natalie said to Drew, though she was in full support of his decision, she didn't think this was the right time. Judging from what she heard and understood from Natalie, there could be a consequences for Drew if he left Natalie like that when she came to see him, probably for business related things.Adaline wasn't into business like her father, but she knew how this things work.
