Chapter 22
Elli is listening attentively to Florence as they go through her presentation and start assigning the final material finishes as well as the color schemes. SJ is sitting behind his desk, reviewing the contract his secretary had submitted to him for review for Grande’s granddaughter, who she was able to communicate with no hesitation. He placed the contract back on his desk and stared at her for a while as she edited Florence’s suggestion as well as giving her inputs.
The two had been working hard on it for more than past two hours. SJ had privately message Debra to order them some lunch.
“When did you learn sign language?” He suddenly asked.
His wife looked at him with slight irritation in her eyes for interrupting her work.
“Dad lost his voice two months after being in the hospital,” she answered and then turned back to her computer.
“So, that’s the reason why you learned?” He asked again.

SJ inserted his key in The Upper Hill Apartment the following night. He became infuriated when he realized that Ellisande did not bother to bolt the door. He’s going to give her a long lecture on the importance of locking the door.He had missed her. No matter how much he wants to deny it, he’s starting to get fascinated with his wife the more he got to know her personality. He keeps on telling himself that he’s probably feeling this way because Carmela had started to bore him. As the usual “SJ Style” that both Florence and Paige dubbed him to be, he will be disposing of her soon and move to another woman.SJ bolted the door and then placed the food he brought on the counter before turning towards the living room. To his surprise, he found Ellisande, already in her pajamas, on the floor, leaning on the couch and sleeping deeply. The materials he had his man retrieved from the warehouse are strewn around her while the model she is doi

Ellisande opened her eyes the following day at the smell of bacon, wafting through her room. She sat up and looked surprised when she realized that she is on her bed. She remembered last night that she was in the living room, deciding to take a short nap before resuming doing the model.“How did I get here?” She asked as she stood up.She slowly turned to her other side, afraid of what she might see and released a sigh of relief when that side is empty. But it only lasted for a few seconds when her eyes caught a pair of men’s leather shoes, which familiarly belongs to her husband.“Why is he here?” She muttered as she stood up. “Did he sleep beside me again?”She first tidied up the bed, folding the covers neatly.“Perhaps you should wake her up, SJ,” she heard an unfamiliar voice when she opened her bedroom door.Elli stepped out from her room and stopped when she saw her husband, with F

SJ looked up from his desk on Monday morning the following week when he heard the door of his office open. He came in early despite Carmela’s clinging for him to stay longer. His mind has already been elsewhere since yesterday and the only way he can assure himself is to go leave early.“Madam just arrived, sir,” she said calmly. “I escorted her to the conference room and told her to prep everything as you had instructed.”“Deb, what do you think of Elli?” SJ suddenly asked.Debra looked at him in surprised but quickly recovered. “I really cannot say yet, Mr. Kincaid,” she honestly replied. “But so far, from what I see and heard, I think she’s an extraordinarily strong woman. She never lets those things being said or done to her hinder from what she wants to achieve.”SJ nodded with a smile as he stood up.“Thanks,” he said meaningfully. “I’ll see you at

SJ gave Ellisande an approving look after she finished her presentation. He couldn’t be any prouder for her achievement.“I’m impressed,” Mr. Grande said seriously as he looked at the outline of descriptions that Florence had made. He flipped through the pages that contains the figures of the finishes on the interior. “However, there are some changes that we need to do. I’m ok with the tiles, the choice is very classic and clean. But, for the colors, it must reflect the schemes of the hotel. We want our guests to know exactly where they are once, they enter out hotel.”“We can have them prepare, Mr. Grande,” Florence replied formally.“Unfortunately, I need to make the decision by Wednesday,” Mr. Grande explained calmly. “The property that my VP acquired, will be starting its land development already as what we had shown on the master plan that we brought. I need to see them immediately.&rdq

Elli stared at herself, wondering who the woman is looking back at her. It’s the night of the event for the Vault of Arts Museum and she had just donned the dress that Jasmine had bought for her. The dress is a mermaid-style that further enhanced her hourglass shape because of the tightly fitted bodice and the bold flare at the knees, that is held by a thin-spaghetti strap. The champagne color of her dress went perfectly with her skin tone that she looks like she’s glowing. Her perfectly smooth skin beautifully showed off as well a small hint of cleavage.“Don’t you think the back is a bit low?” She asked uncertainly as she turned her body.“Elli, it’s the right height,” Jasmine replied lightly as she stepped back and looked at her. “Someone’s going to kill me over this.”“What do you mean?” Elli asked.Jasmine shook her head with a smile.“Don’t mind me,&rdqu

SJ stared with narrowed eyes as Elli received her award on the stage that was constructed on the center of the venue, as her entry was awarded third place from the final ten contestants. She smiled warmly as she accepted her plaque, cash award and bouquet of flowers. He looked at the painting and remembered that she was absorbed on it when he arrived and kissed her.He suddenly felt his anger rise-up unconsciously when Ronald bent down and kissed both of her cheeks and then congratulating her while saying something. He clenched his fists tightly, to restrained himself from storming upfront and beat up his good friend.“She deserves it,” Jasmine piped up beside him as she clapped lightly after a photo together with her entry was taken. “And, she looks beautiful, don’t you think? Hmmm… I am always amazed at my works.”SJ looked down at her coldly.“I told you to buy her a decent dress,” he snapped lightly. &l

Elli went out from her apartment wearing a blue Bloom Floral Tie Strap Bustier Summer Midi Sundress and a flat slingback slippers, early Sunday, the following day. She made sure that the door is securely lock before heading to the elevator after checking that she got everything she needs.She finally went out from the building and turned to her right, walking towards the venue of the Trade Fair she heard about last Friday. She put on her shades and cloche hat, so her hair won’t be blown by the wind since she decided to leave it down.“Hello, Miss,” a young lady greeted when she finally arrived at the entry arch of the fair. “Welcome to the Trade Fair. Our entry is fifty cents, which includes a map of the stalls that we have here.”“Thank you,” Elli said after she received the map and ticket.She stood at one side for a while as she studied the map, deciding on which side to start first. After a few minutes, she de

Elli walked towards her desk the following day and sat down on her chair. As her usual routine, she immediately unlocked her drawer and pulled out her issued laptop and have it run its startup. While she is waiting for it to load, she reached for her notes and reviewed the list of tasks she will be doing today.“On your toes,” she heard whispers. “He’s in a bad mood, right now.”“What the hell do you think happened?” Came another question. “Could it be because of that rumored break-up? He was alone on that Saturday event.”“Dear Lord, let’s just hope that he will not turn his anger on us! Tony told us that he was yelling for contract documents to be in his office. It’s still not nine yet!”Elli looked at them for a while, perplexed on the mode of conversation she just heard. She stood up when she saw Valerie and waited for whatever she will be ordering her.“Good mo
