Se connecterThe news spread like wildfire, the adoptive daughter of the Morgan was now a Director. It spread alongside the news of the engagement party of Leonard and Seraphina. For various reasons, nobody seemed to pay attention to the engagement announcement at all and they were just congratulating Liora and once again just after been thrown into the spotlight weeks before. Liora was been congratulated left and right that it even made the news, no one could care less about Leonard and Serpahina getting engaged. That was their business. The Morgan stocks even rose because of the announcement shocking everyone. When Liora walked into her office that morning, someone yelled and burst of confetti strips fell all over her.“Congratulations Director Liora!!” They all yelled and Liora could only burst into laughter. This was already beyond what she could imagine. Penelope was standing with everyone grinning and Liora shook her head. Even in her last life. No one had thrown her this kind of congulat
One week and two days. It had been one week and two days since Damien reached out to Liora. Since their dinner had been abruptly cut off and Damien had walked out. Liora had thought of several scenarios that could emerge from telling Damien about the Target Business Convention but none of them had included that he wouldn’t even try to reach out to her. What she also didn’t include or think about was how much disturbed and how much bothered she would be about it.Liora stared at her phone again. There was nothing like the past week and three days since she had been checking. No messages.No calls.No replies.Only several messages that she had sent over remained in the chat. He had clearly seen it but had chosen not to respond. Damien was always busy, every single time but when it came to her, his schedule was always flexible and yet the same man had not spoken to her in nearly two weeks. The silence was not accidental, it was intentional and she knew that this was the result of
The rain had started sometime in the afternoon and by evening, everywhere was quiet and the skies were dark.The streets glistened beneath the streetlights, and droplets rolled down the large windows of the café where Liora sat waiting.She stirred her coffee absentmindedly and her mind was occupied with so many things. Too many things had happened in the past few days.From the social media chaos to telling her grandfather about Damien from him agreeing and her parents. Everything seemed to be moving faster than she had expected. The firm sound of footsteps made her look up.A small smile spread across her lips as soon as she realized it was Damien. He removed his coat and handed it to the waiter before walking toward her table, the whole cafe had been emptied out the moment he entered. "You're late." She said as soon as he sat down opposite her."Three minutes late” he said with an amused look and Liora pouted. "Still late." She argued and Damien nodded. "I apologize." He said a
The moment Liora left the Morgan residence, she finally allowed herself to breathe. She leaned against the backseat of the car and closed her eyes.The family meeting had gone smoother than she expected. And this meeting had made it clear to her, that to deal with everyone else in the Morgan family, only her grandfather was okay. She hadn’t expected her parents to be at the meeting and neither had she expected much from them when she saw them. As for Seraphina and Leonard—she had zero expectations for them. The two of them were only out for their own gain, the most they could exclude was envy and hatred and jealousy. Her phone rang and she didn’t need to look before having an idea on who was calling. And when she turned to look, it was Beverley. Liora smiled and answered."You're alive." She said and Liora burst into laughter."That's your first question?" She asked. "Yes."Liora laughed and nodded, "Of course, I’m alive." She replied."And?""And what?""Don't make me come ther
The moment the family meeting ended, Liora excused herself. She had no intention of staying downstairs any longer than necessary.Her father followed Grandfather Morgan into his home office. She was sure that he was going to keep ar guing with his decision and she could care less. Her mother looked deeply dissatisfied but due to the fact that the distance between them was as wide as an ocean, she couldn’t say anything when Liora bowed her head politely to her and walked away. Leonard seemed lost in thought and Seraphina looked as though she wanted to set something on fire. Liora knew that if she was allowed, she wouldn’t blink twice before setting her on fire. She was already late for work but a small smile tugged at her lips as she crossed the main hallway and headed toward the eastern wing of the mansion.The East Wing had always been quieter, especially since she stayed there. There were even lesser staff there and it was a little bit far away from the main mansion, she had init
Like Liora had guessed, her post went viral and by the time she woke up the next morning, her notifications had completely gone off grid. There were thousands of comments, direct messages and countless tags. There were entire discussion threads dedicated to identifying the owner of the mysterious hand and even more about the fact that Damien Frost had liked her post. Several online entertainment pages had even written articles about it and told them their speculations and in summary, the internet had collectively lost its mind.Liora was delighted knowing fully well that Seraphina would have lost her mind. She smiled gleefully and by the time she was preparing for her office, her phone rang. Liora glanced at the screen and seeing it was her grandfather, she chuckled. He was right on schedule. She answered the phone immediately."Good morning, Grandfather." She greeted."Good morning Liora, could you make time to come home this evening?” He asked and Liora bit back a smile.He was
For reasons Liora didn’t know; the airport was crowded.People moved in different doors walking in and walking out. The pulling of luggage and wheels were loud in the space with terminal announcements echoing overhead.Liora stood near the arrival gate, one hand tucked into the pocket of her coat w
Liora woke slowly and looked around. She didn’t even know when she had fallen asleep. For a moment, she didn’t move and tried to open her eyes fully. The bed was softer than her bed and it made her want to coon. Damien’s suite was grander than she had expected, the ambience alone made her want to
The office was the same when Liora returned. The flowers were in the same place she had left them. The floor was still buzzing with gossip and she didn’t need anyone to tell her it was about her and who could have sent her the package and flowers. The bouquet was large, much larger than she had re
“We were about to close that deal!” he snapped. “How did Frost get there first? What were you doing?!” He continued his barrage of questions.Liora’s fingers tightened around her phone and she laughed inwardly but her face and voice maintained a panicked expression and tone.“I—I don’t know, Dad,”
