I still wasn't getting any idea of what was happening around here. Why did Parker want me to be here? I knew this place didn't look or sound safe at all. I probably should get out. But I don't know how."Here this a simple chip you just have to insert this baby into the laptop. The rest we can do. Make sure the Internet is on while you are doing this. This can be seen so don't leave it out there. Any questions?", he asked me."I haven't done this before. I'm not sure I will be able to do this easily", I said.The boy started laughing like a maniac. I watched Parker shocked. He looked a little uneasy too."Thanks, Cam. I will teach you how", he said and took the chip. "Let us go Mer", he said taking me out for f there. I saw the other guy wave to him but he didn't answer it."Parker, what is the meaning of this? Who are those people?", I asked him uncontrollably. "Calm down Mer. I will take you home", he said leading me to his car.I got inside but still, he didn't give me any answer.
I still couldn't sleep even when it was very late. He admitted that he hated me but it was a long time ago. Why was it so difficult for him to be honest about it? How can he care for me so much after being so nasty? I didn't know the answers to every question that played on my mind. Parker had given me the chip I needed to insert it into Jamie's laptop. He said he would sometimes quote below Matt for fun. But I wasn't entirely sure about the next time. He may decide to quote a little high. One could never tell. I have only one thing to do that is to insert the chip and pray for the best.The morning came and I went to my office Lisa was there waiting for me. She briefed me on the Matters but my mind wasn't on it."What is it?", she asked me."Nothing", I answered to her."It doesn't look like nothing. I heard your Matt left", she said eying me."He is not mine Lisa", I said."He is. Look at what came to the office today", she said giving me a small box covered in gift paper."What is
Matt called me occasionally. He had been pretty busy Parker informed me that soon they would announce who had won the bid and he was very confident this time. He had managed to extract all the necessary information. He calls me begging me to meet him. He wanted to thank me but I said no. I was feeling a lot guilty if I was being True to myself. I went out with Lisa once or twice but I visited every day in hospital. They said they wanted to check him for his blood pressure. My father still manages to scare all of the staff there. He always orders me to be at the office instead of wasting my time elsewhere.The work was going the same as before. Even though my father is in hospital nothing has changed here. The senior board director is deciding everything. I was silent at the same time helpless. I didn't have much money to invest in the business if I had then I would have more value in my own company.After I was done I returned home with my driver who was also my bodyguard. I have come
I got discharged on the same day on my demand. Neither my doctor nor Matt agreed with my decision. But I didn't want to waste my time in the hospital because my father was already in the hospital. Being in the hospital is going to send some bad signals to people who have invested in our company. Matt had been with me all the time. I was very taken aback by his kindness towards me. He gently held me while I tried to walk. I was completely disgusted by my weakness. He pressed for me to take more rest in here but I wasn't going to allow my enemy to tell me how I'm going to live."You don't have to do that", I said when I saw him pick up my shoe for me."Relax I'm doing you no favour. I want you to get better so that we can fight some more", he said with a chuckle."We should take easy on the fights. I didn't want to end up in the hospital again", I said."You didn't reach the hospital because of me", he said.Does he even believe his own words? I was in trouble from the very first day I
I hated remembering my past or anything to do with that. Lisa knew my tough times but she didn't have any idea of how much it broke me. I should tell her. I had a deep feeling that she needed to know what transpired between me and Matt. My father had forbade me from talking about Matt to anyone. Lisa too knew only a little about my past. When I left I only hinted at Lisa of where I was going but I hadn't told her why. She knew certain things like how I met Matt and then I pursued him. She knows that I got married to him. My heart was broken after which I divorced him. But it is still so far from the painful truth. I should tell her. I was about to but she interrupted me."I hate to see you in pain and tears Mer. I'm sorry for saying that. But I want you to be happy and I think being with Matt will help you", she said."No. It is going to be much worse for me if I ever had to be with Matt. It is already so much painful", I said to her."I know only a little but if you ever care to shar
My dad was finally home and I decided to check on him. I too was recuperating from my recent anxiety attack. But I knew I couldn't wait long sitting at home. I needed to be in my office to get things done. Parker couldn't lend me money as I hoped. He wanted me to provide details of another bid. I don't think I want to do it anymore. This wasn't me. This lying was killing me. I want to win but the right way. I feel a lot better I gave Parker a fair ground for competing with Matt the next time. I thought I hated Matt but in reality, I was the one who was a mess. I should take control of my life before Matt or my father crushes it.Matt had left for office and I got ready. I saw that my bodyguard was already waiting for me. I wondered how swiftly he arrived here. He probably lives around here. Maybe he lives in the same house who knows? It is already big enough with multiple entrances.When I gave him directions for home. He was relieved. He probably thought that I was going back to my o
I had always been a worrier and being back at the office as the CEO hadn't changed that. I was nervous as hell when I walked into a board meeting. The senior member Carlos is a sweetheart and probably the only guy who will back me up. I can't even say that about my father. I made the changes that I had decided in my mind already. Lisa gave me a look when she saw my first order as CEO. I gave her a wink in return and she laughed. I knew there would be hell to pay at the board meeting."What do you think you are doing Meredith?", asked Daniel another senior member and the only guy who hates my guts. He thinks that woman shouldn't be allowed outside their home. He is old school but he sat in an important position so he should have let go of his backward thoughts a long time ago. But he isn't able to and that was a big problem for me and every woman in the office."I hope my father informed you that he made me CEO for the next six months", I said."He had informed us of the same but that
We had a quick dinner each of us wanting to finish it up as soon as possible. We walked together to the bedroom which had been now used by me alone. He didn't come to sleep in here after I was hospitalised. I stood routed to the door unable to move further inside. He was closely behind and sensed my hesitation but he wasn't angry at me or anything."Still not sure?", he asked me. I could see him searching through my eyes as if to look for answers. I didn't seem to have any and it left him dissatisfied. He thought I would be eager to go to bed with him after our actions in the living room where anybody could have caught us easily but in the privacy of my bedroom, it seemed I was afraid of something though I didn't know what."I'm sorry", I said not knowing what to say."Tell me what is it? You know now that I'm not going to take away your company or take revenge on you", he said."It is not that. I'm afraid to rekindle our connection. I'm scared to go through everything once again it w
