Mag-log inIn the empty room, Derek and the waiter sat on the cold floor with pale and exhausted faces. They had not eaten anything since they were locked inside, and this was already their second day without food. By now, their hunger had become so intense that neither of them had the strength or even the interest to talk to the other, while their throats had become painfully dry from not having anything to drink.The waiter shifted uncomfortably and swallowed with difficulty, but his throat felt so parched that even swallowing had become uncomfortable. He lowered his head and tried to ignore the growing pain in his stomach, but a few seconds later, his stomach suddenly made a loud rumbling sound that echoed through the empty room.He immediately gritted his teeth and placed a hand over his stomach. “Damn it,” he muttered bitterly and added. “I’m so hungry.”Derek glanced at him but said nothing, because he was in no better condition himself. In fact, Derek knew that the waiter had probably suf
As soon as they entered Viola’s office, she closed the door behind them and let out a long breath before taking off her blazer and placing it neatly over the back of her chair. She then sat down, leaned back against the chair, and took another deep breath as she rubbed her forehead, looking completely lost in her thoughts.Seeing her suddenly become so serious, Alexa walked closer and looked at her with concern before asking. “What’s wrong, babe?”Viola looked up at her, pouted her lips slightly, and sighed. “I’m just thinking about this morning. Oh my God!” Saying this, she exclaimed loudly.Alexa immediately breathed out in relief when she realized that nothing serious had happened, but a second later, she suddenly burst into laughter because she remembered exactly what Viola was talking about. She tried to control herself, but the moment she saw the deep frown forming on Viola’s face, she quickly covered her mouth and stopped laughing.“I’m so sorry, Vi,” Alexa said, still struggli
The next day, everyone eventually went their separate ways, and by then, Viola and Alexa were already back at work. Because of how busy Viola had been the previous day, she had not been able to send out the new designs she sketched yesterday, so she decided to handle everything first thing that morning. Right now, she was currently in a meeting with the heads and members of the design and sewing departments, with all the new sketches spread carefully across the large conference table in front of them.The moment the workers began going through the sketches, they could not hide their admiration. Each design was carefully drawn and detailed, and they could already imagine how beautiful the finished dresses would look once they were properly made.“These designs are really beautiful,” one of the designers said as she carefully picked up one of the sketches and added with a stunned look. “I can already picture how elegant this one will look when it is brought to life.”Another designer n
After a few more minutes of sitting together and talking, another knock came from the door, making Alexa glance toward it before getting up from the couch. She walked over and opened the door, only to find one of the maids standing outside with a polite smile.Alexa smiled back at her and asked lightly, “So, are we being summoned downstairs already?”The maid nodded respectfully and answered. “Yes, ma’am. Big Madam is calling for all of you.”Since it was already evening, Alexa had been expecting someone to come for them, so she simply nodded her head and said. “Alright, we will be down shortly.”The maid bowed her head slightly and turned to leave, but Alexa noticed that she was heading in the direction of Xander’s room.“Wait,” she called out, making the maid stop and look back. “There’s no need to inform my brother. I will let him know.” She said to the maidThe maid smiled and nodded her head as she said. “Alright, ma’am.”With that, she gave another small bow and headed downstair
Before anyone could say anything else, Viola hurried toward the bathroom.Alexa watched her leave and laughed softly. “She’s really embarrassed.”Hearing this, Maxwell turned toward Xander with a grin and said. “Bro, you should probably go after her.”Xander immediately shook his head and replied to him. “No, let her calm down. She just needs a few minutes.”Michael chuckled and couldn’t help but say. “You are surprisingly calm about all this.”Hearing this, Xander just smiled but he didn’t say anything. Meanwhile, inside the bathroom, Viola closed the door behind her and leaned her back against it, taking a deep breath as she tried to calm herself.“Oh my goodness,” she whispered.She covered her face again and shook her head, still unable to believe what had happened.She was extremely shy, especially after realizing that everyone had watched her kiss Xander, but despite all the embarrassment, she could not bring herself to regret it.In fact, deep down, she loved every second of i
After a few seconds, Maxwell leaned slightly toward the others and whispered, “Just one little look.”Alexa immediately turned to him and couldn’t help but say. “You just said we should leave them alone.”“I said we should probably leave them alone,” Maxwell replied with a grin. “I didn’t say we couldn’t take one quick look.”Michael shook his head, trying not to laugh as he said. “You are going to get all of us in trouble.”Vivian glanced toward Xander before lowering her voice. “If he catches us watching, he’s going to be so annoyed.”Alexa nodded seriously. “Exactly, so nobody should look.”They all agreed again, but the room soon became too quiet, and their curiosity eventually got the better of them. One by one, they carefully glanced in Xander and Viola’s direction, trying to make it look as though they were only taking a quick look.They had already noticed the first few pecks earlier, but none of them had dared to react because they did not want to embarrass her or make Xander
As she said this, the hall went silent. Most of the people there tried to know what was happening. They know the Anderson name, but they don’t really know the Viola being mentioned. So they were really curious. While others, who witnessed their red carpet entry, were stunned, as they whispered amo
As the hall gradually settled and everyone took their seats, the lights in the hall dimmed slightly, and a soft spotlight focused on the stage. Then a few seconds later, the MC walked in confidently, holding the microphone with a bright smile on his face.“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!” He
As they waited for her secretary to come pick them up, Viola looked around and was really impressed with the outcome. But just then, an unwanted presence arrived.Not too far from where they stood, another car pulled up smoothly, and stepping out of it were none other than Claire, Nathan, and Bella
An hour later, Vivian came downstairs dressed, carrying all the packages in her hands.As soon as she entered the living room, she paused for a moment and looked around.It was quiet, as no one was present. She already knew that Viola and Alexa were not around, but as for the head maid, she didn’t
