"Hatciuh!" Felicia rubbed her nose, which was so itchy right now. For the umpteenth time, the woman sneezed. Ever since before Felicia went to bed last night, she had felt a bad feeling in her body. Not only did she have the flu, but her head also felt very heavy. Apparently, she was affected by the heavy rain last night."Aaah, I don't understand. Why did I have to do a rain dance ritual drama last night. I'm not a Hollywood actress," she said to herself.Felicia's cell phone suddenly rang. There was an incoming call from Vilia. The woman took a deep breath, then sighed wearily. It was almost noon, and Felicia had forgotten to call someone at the office. They must be wondering about her situation today, or why she was absent without explanation."Hello.""Felicia, what's wrong with you!" shouted Vilia as soon as she heard Felicia's voice.And of course, the sound of Vilia's shout had so startled Felicia that she had to put the phone away from her ear for a while."Could you please sp
"No, sir. Please forgive me. I was framed, I was loyal to you all along, sir." A man was kneeling right in front of Edward.Edward sat with his feet on a swivel chair. Several men and confidants stood beside him. Witnessing how someone in a desperate situation, could only plead with the man."Jack, tell me what evidence of treason this man has committed," Edward ordered one of his subordinates, while smoking the cigarette tucked between his fingers.The man named Jack, smiled. He didn't even need a note to tell the cunning of one of Edward's men who had been caught red-handed."Of course. Mr. Gery has been embezzling employee salaries for the past three years, adding unspecified financing to several projects, falsifying financial data, harassing female employees in the office, as well as selling various important secrets of the Atlanta company to other competing companies," said the man named Jack loudly.The man named Gery was still kneeling with a feeling of anxiety and was so surpr
Rick, Vilia and Sharon entered Felicia's house with both enthusiasm and confusion. It was clear that the house they were admiring was not an ordinary house. Everything looks luxurious and classy."Felicia, do you come from a conglomerate. Or perhaps, you come from a noble family. It's strange that your house is so nice and luxurious. But you're working for a small company like Escape," Sharon said suddenly."What noble family? I got all this from being someone's pet," Felicia thought.Vilia narrowed her eyes, looking intently at Felicia."Perhaps, you're the second wife or mistress of a tycoon!" guessed Vilia idly.It was like Vilia had read Felicia's mind. Only, this time her guess wasn't quite right. Felicia had never been second, in fact, she would probably be the only one. "Almost right! I am the mistress of Mr. Edward Collin," Felicia replied casually.And of course, no one believed a word she said. Everyone always thought that what Felicia said was a lie or a joke. But no matte
Felicia returned to the house. She found Sharon and Rick with sour faces. It was a sign that they had tasted Vilia's cooking.However, Felicia's arrival caught the attention of her three friends. Their eyes were drawn to the beautiful bouquet of flowers the girl was holding."Wow, it's beautiful," Sharon murmured."Yes, it's very pretty and looks... expensive. Tell me, which businessman sent those flowers?" asked Vilia.Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Vilia's cooking that could kill people because of the flowers brought by Felicia."It's beautiful, of course, who else but Mr. Edward would have sent it," Felicia said casually.But, of course. Everyone assumed that Felicia's answer was a joke, even though the girl had been completely honest all along."I'm sorry about Felicia's impossible-to-realize dream," Rick said, responding to Felicia's answer."I think Felicia should start looking for a partner before she goes completely insane from obsessing over Mr. Edward," said Vilia.
"This is a golden opportunity for us! Are you sure you're going to pass up a good opportunity like this?" a man said to Diego.Diego turned his gaze in the other direction because he was too lazy to listen to a man he had called Uncle for years."Are you listening to me? Are you starting to argue with me now? All those years studying abroad didn't make you any smarter. You've just lost respect for me. I've been desperately defending you in front of your family all this time," the man said at length.Diego took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment, then turned around, looking at Mr. Jimmy. Diego's uncle and Edward's uncle, of course."But that opportunity you spoke of, it's not the opportunity I wanted at all," Diego argued lamely."Then what kind of chance do you want? Are you going to wait until you're as smart or lucky as that son of a bitch?" said Mr. Jimmy fiercely."This sounds painful. But you have to accept the truth. Luck alone is not enough to defeat Edward. We must ha
And Diego's words were no joke. In the afternoon, in front of the Escape Office, a luxury car was parked that made some people chuckle. A man with a simple casual style was leaning against the body of the car while playing with his cell phone. And his presence really caught people's attention."Oh my, who is that handsome man. Why does that man's face look familiar?" muttered Vilia.Felicia and some of her coworkers had just left the office. Felicia herself was walking while playing with her cell phone. And guess who was exchanging messages with her right now."I'm in front of your office right now!"Felicia stopped walking as soon as she read the message on her cell phone. She raised her head and immediately found a dazzling sight on the other side."Felicia, did you see that? That guy is so cool. But... I feel like I've seen him before, where is he? He looks so much like someone," Vilia said to Felicia.Diego stopped playing with his phone. He then turned his attention to the girls
A beautiful girl in a sexy skimpy outfit came in with a tray of drinks. Her blood-red lips smiled at everyone. Hypnotizing everyone to smile too and not take their eyes off her.Edward was there, attending a party belonging to a bigwig who liked to splurge. The man was hypnotized by the girl's red lips and shady gaze. Shaking the glass in his hand, Edward waited until the girl finally finished delivering the drinks, then sat down at one of the empty tables in the corner of the room.But after sitting down, the girl's smile disappeared, the gaze turned blank. As if the girl was thinking about something big and heavy. And it even made Edward interested in approaching her."What's your name?" the question escaped Edward's lips as he stood right in front of the girl.The girl raised her head slowly, staring at the male figure standing before her from toe to head.A tall and well-built posture, a pair of eyes with a sharp yet dark gaze, sexy lips, a strong and firm jaw, a sharp nose, and a
"Come on Edward. It's not like it's just you. Usually you never make a big deal out of any plans I make. Approaching Adele is easy, especially since you're her ex-boyfriend," Zean insisted."I told you she's not my ex-girlfriend!" snapped Edward in annoyance.Edward clenched his fists tightly, trying to hold back the irritation that was about to reach its peak. But luckily, this was not a big deal. So Edward could still hold his temper."Fiiuuh. Look Zean, I can't deal with any more women. My relationship with Felicia is in trouble right now," Edward said."Since when did you care so much about your and Felicia's relationship?" asked Zean."Well... I can't explain anything. Anyway, my relationship with Felicia is not okay. Having a relationship with another girl, even if it's just a pretense, will only make my and Felicia's problems more complicated!"Zean did not reply to Edward's words, instead he stared at Edward very intensely, making Edward himself feel strange and uncomfortable
