As they drove to the station, Jules kept yelling at the top of her voice, that she was innocent.However, one of the policemen turns to her with a scowl on his face. "Just keep quiet! That's what all the criminals say when they're caught." Jules scoffed, pouting her mouth in anger. "How can you call me a criminal? Do I look like one?" she yelled.The policemen chuckled like she said the most absurd thing. "Are you really asking us that? Look at yourself," one of them said.Jules glanced at herself. "Yup! I do look like a criminal," she mumbled.Jules didn't blame the cops, rather she blamed Hero. If he didn't make her a night guard, this wouldn't have happened. She wondered how Mr.Harper and Harley would feel if they find out, she was arrested and not coming back tonight. Will Hero, tell them the truth? Will he tell them that he made her a night guard after making her his second P.A, or will he fabricate a story instead...At the station, everyone kept giving Jules weird looks. "She
"Officers I...I don't know her. Who is she?" Hero asked, feigning ignorance."Her name is Jules Verne. We arrested her last night for trying to break into your company. And she said she worked here...I guess she was just trying to trick us," the officer said."Yeah! I'm sure she was," Hero retorted, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.Bryan who stood there was confused by what was going on. 'Is it the same Jules Verne I know, or someone else?' he thought, tilting his gaze from Hero to the policemen."Officers, can I see the photo?" He said before he could stop himself.The officers turn to him. "Sure!"Bryan looks at the picture and his eyes widen in shock. 'This is the same Jules, Hero's stepmom. but why did he tell the officers that he didn't know her? Bryan thought, tilting his gaze to Hero.Seeing the look on Hero's face, Bryan decided to also act like he didn't know her. He didn't want to die at such a young age."Uhmm! officers, I also don't know her."The officers nodded
Jules stayed at home for rest of the day, until Harley and Hardin returned. "Mommy, mommy," Harley yelled, running into Jules's embrace."What happened to you? Why didn't you come home yesterday? I was worried," Harley said all at once."I... I erhm! I was working," Jules lied.Hardin who stood beside them scoffed, rolling his eye. He wished that Jules would always have to work from dawn to dusk, that way, he wouldn't get to see her face. Maybe her working for Hero wasn't a bad idea after all.Hardin shrugged, walking past Jules and Harley like they don't exist. "Hey! Young man, I'm right here," Jules mumbled, waving her hands in the air."So! what should I do about it?"Hardin answered, arrogantly, rolling his eyes.Striding toward him, Jules let an evil laugh, a mischievous glint flashing across her features. She was not just prepared to teach Hero a lesson, but also this brat, who always seems to disrespect her.Hardin moved back subconsciously. 'Why is she suddenly like this?' he
The Hi-Tech company'What are you up to Jules Verne?' Hero mulled, pacing around his office. His mind was in a state of unrest, as he tries to figure out why Jules was suddenly nice to him."Bryan, I want you to arrange an appointment with a therapist, I think I'm losing my mind," he ordered, taking his seat.Bryan was stunned by his request but didn't say anything. He felt like Hero needed the therapist to help with his bad temper, so he immediately complied."Boss, I'll do that right away, but you have an appointment with Mr.Mason clay, CEO of the clay enterprise."Hero nodded. "I'll see the therapist after my appointment with Mr.Clay.""Boss, what about Mrs.Scott? Are you going to let her remain as a night's guard?" Bryan asked, hoping that Hero would, change Jules's work.A scowl appeared on Hero's face at the mention of Jules. She was the reason for his upheaval and the reason he wanted to see a therapist. There's no way he would give her a job, where he would get to see he
"My condition is that you let, Jules Verne, finish the rest of the deal," Mason let out.Hero remained expressionless, but deep down he was surprised and confused as to how Mason knew Jules, and why he wanted to work with her.As if reading his thoughts, Mason said, "we met Just now." But of course, that was not enough to satisfy Hero's curiosity. He didn't believe that Jules and Mason had just met, to him there was more. "Why do you want to work with Jules Verne? As you said, you just met her... Besides, she's a security guard, she has no business with such kind of things," Hero inquired, his gaze on Mason all the while, trying to study his expression."Mr.Scott, that is between me and Miss Verne. Besides, the only thing left in our deal is signing the investment, and property document. I'm sure that's not hard for a security guard. My P. A will be here to sign the investment papers, while Miss Verne will be with me when I sign the property papers," Mason explained. Although he did
That night, the family except Hero were having their dinner, and for some reason, Hardin was extremely happy. On the other hand, Jules and Harley chatted happily as they ate, while Harris and his father, discussed some important matters. Although Hardin was left out, he didn't feel bothered, or interested in their conversation. Instead, he was lost in thoughts and grinning ear to ear."Hardin you seem happy, do you mind sharing the secret behind your happiness," Jules muttered, in an attempt to start a conversation so he wouldn't feel left out.However, Hardin scoffed and said, "It's not a crime to be happy is it?"Both Mr.Harper and Harris tilted their gaze to him. "Do you always have to be rude to your stepmom even when she's trying to be nice to you?" Mr.Harper scolded."Dad, I don't need her to be nice to me_ she pretends to be nice in front of you, but in your absence, she's a different person," Hardin responded, as he recalled how Jules pulled his ears the other day.Jules smi
After Jules dropped Harley at school, she went directly to the clay enterprise. "I'm here to see Mason clay," she tells the Secretary. The secretary gave her a disdainful look, not bothering to hide her dislike for Jules. 'She's probably one of those women, that boss has a fling with,' she thought, hating the fact that Jules was beautiful and slim fit."Who are you? Do you have an appointment with the boss?" She asked, still eying Jules.Jules gave her a small smile even if she knew the secretary hated her."I'm Jules Verne from the Hi-Tech company, and yes, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR BOSS," she emphasized.Ohh! The Secretary mouthed as if realizing that Jules was not who she thought. However, it didn't mean that she liked her. She knew how her boss was with beautiful women, and she was sacred, that Jules would snatch him away."This way!" She muttered, leading Jules to the elevator. She didn't need to inform her boss, because he had already given her strict instructions, to
Mason was quiet for a while giving her a look of disbelief before he burst into a peal of laughter."Miss Verne, you really are funny_ Hero's stepmom, omg! Then I'm probably Hero's stepdad," Mason said in-between laughter.Mason, thought that Jules only said that to push him away, so he didn't take her seriously."You don't believe me?" She questioned, her cheek flushed in embarrassment. "Why would I believe you?" Mason answered, making Jules pout her mouth in annoyance. 'Why did he ask if he's not going to believe.'Jules wanted to say something, however, a waiter came and requested their order."Sir, what would you like to have?" the waiter asked, tilting his gaze from Mason to Jules."What would you like to have, Miss Verne?" Mason redirected the question to Jules.She scanned through the menu, and did not know what to pick so she said, "Why don't you pick Mr.clay?"Mason nodded, then he told the waiter, what he wanted and that he should get the same for Jules.A few minutes later
