Every guard and servant was up and about with their daily chores. Brandon and the others were more busy than usual. “Make sure everything is put in the car, I don't want Mrs. Laura leaving any of her important belongings behind,” Brandon tells the others. Laura was leaving, her treatment was on the line and she had to return quickly. They had to wake up extra early as her flight was scheduled for the early hours of dawn. Cassandra had too much to do, while she was on the phone with the nurses over at the hospital, she was still not happy with Laura’s refusal to take a personal nurse to assist her with everything. “I know the baby, but I can take care of myself. It is not a new sickness and I know better '' Laura turned to Cassandra who held on to the phone sadly. She did not want her to leave, but deep down both of them understood she had to go. “I promise to take care of myself if that would keep your mind at ease, '' Laura promised. Cassandra could only smile and hug her bonus mot
Edward has not been himself ever since he walked out on Kelly. He was doing within his limits to make sure she was okay, but deep down he knew she deserved better. “Boss.. boss?” Mary called out but still got no reply. She stood for a few seconds but Edward was not paying any signs of being with her as he spun the pen in his hands in the same clockwise direction repeating like someone in deep thoughts. “Sir!” Mary called out again this time, gently hinting at his hands. “Yes.. ehm. Yes Mary, what do you want?” he asked, snapping out of his thoughts. “You have a meeting with the Carlon empire at the request of the project we submitted last month.” Edward stared at his secretary with a blank expression as if she was some alien talking in a language he did not understand. It's barely been a week since he took over the company and here he was still to go through every file of ongoing projects. “Did you say Carlson empire?” Edward asked to be sure. “Yes sir” Mary replied, not sure why he
When the sun came out, Edward rolled down from the couch. “Ouch,” he cried out as his body came in contact with the hard floor. “How did I get home?” he asked no one. Looking around, he could see the mess he created. There were clothes in every corner, staring down at his naked body he sighs as he commences picking everything up. It is very unusual for him to be so drunk. He picks up his jacket from the floor, taking out the ringing phone from it. “What is wrong Mary?” he asked, not waiting for Mary to state her purpose for calling. “Sir, the contract rejection form was sent in this morning and Carlson Empire is canceling every project we have with them” Mary cries over the phone. Not only was Carlson Empire their greatest supplier, but losing such connection only meant the days of the company were fast becoming history. “What do you mean by other projects? Isn't it just one?” Edward asked, irritated. The incident of yesterday was still fresh in his head and how he was not able to
Kelly has not been herself ever since she left Edward, not only had he become a crucial part of her life but now starting all over without him was something she was finding difficult to do. She watched her environment. It was neat, but that was all she could do. She had done nothing but clean, she dared not show her face outside and checked her account every second of the day. There was not much money left and food was fast running out. “How I wish I could turn back the hands of time and I won't choose Edward,” Kelly laments. It was too bad this lifetime was for her to suffer the karma she had created. 6 years they had suffered her, 6 years and that had made her the fool, she had toyed with her feelings while sleeping her man right under her nose. She not only helped her mother, but she made sure she had a good job, she bought a house for her mother. There was nothing she ever lacked and now it was time to pay, it was time to pay Cassandra for all the stress they put her through, it
Edward sits in his office unsure of his next move to take. The contract has been resubmitted and with the mass total of 50, only 20 were taken. Half bread is better than none and this was only the beginning. “Mr. Edward, you have a meeting with the shareholders by midday and a store at the sight of Chanbouri at 2 pm” Mary announced before walking away. Edward only nodded, so much was going through his mind. He did not like the silence from the end of Mr Tarlor Carlvin. He was his boss and the business was his, he felt uncomfortable because everyone had spoken to him about how he almost crumbled the company but the owner was yet to make a statement. “What should I do?'' Edward asked glancing over at his phone” he did not want to do anything drastic but so much was happening from behind the scenes that he feared it was going to cause him so much more than he bargained for. Edward was quick to place a call through.“About time you called baby bunch, I've missed you” the sweet voice of
Kelly woke up earlier than before, she took the first bus heading into the city. She made sure to wear a mask and had her hair covered thoroughly. She was not taking the chances of anyone getting to know her. They were in the heart of Winter and having people dressed as her was not uncommon, the ride to the back as long as she took the bus. When she got up she made sure to hurry to the bank with no branches. Kelly had called her bank manager ahead of time and as soon as she walked in, she was let into a private room. “Why do you want to close the account?” her bank manager asked with a sad face. He was familiar with the only saga Kelly was caught up in but it was not his place to mention it, at least not while he was on duty. “I need the money, '' Kelly murmurs. She was having a difficult time breathing but she dared not release herself from the hold of clothes she wrapped herself in.”Now can I count and sign the necessary documents?” Kelly asked to pull out a seat for herself which
Kelly returned home with a happy smile, choosing sides had only been a thought, never did she imagine it working out in her favor, she hummed joyously as she put her clothes in order. “I may be out of money at the moment, but that won't be for a long time, " Kelly comforts herself. The day went by within the blink of an eye and the news keeping the internet busy still had not subsided. Photos of Cassandra and her husband spending a good time while the world was all waiting for them, made their fans and well-wishers conclude it was not true. As they all were waiting for a reason that caused the situation, Edward sat in his office in a gloomy mood. This was supposed to be his time to crush Carlson, he has kept this video for the longest time and now after airing it, it only gained more popularity and Carlson was taking it to his advantage. Edward was tired of being the only one angry, so he picked up the landline calling Mary into his office. “I need you to reschedule the meeting wit
Mary had a good time but that could not be said about the one seated right before her. When they were done, she could not stop taking pictures of the beautiful surroundings. When it was time for the check, Edward did take care of it. “Sir, the bill for the young lady was covered with that of the other guest,” the waitress tells Edward as she hands him back the payment for Mary. “The other guest?” Edward asked not sure of who they were referring to. “Yes sir, the young lady who had the shrimps of your girlfriend and hers paid the bill as it comes with extra charges for pilling and she said not to border you” Edward glanced over at Mary but she was as clueless as he. “May I see who the guest is? I would love to thank them in person” Edward stands up as the waitress leads them to the cashier. “Mini, where is the guest who paid for this young couple?” the waitress asked but Edward did not border on correcting her and so did mary. The both of them were more interested in knowing who had
