"They are mostly older men but even old men will have teeth as sharp as knives hidden behind their smiles. Your father has set your first mission. All you do is show them you're capable." She lowered her finger to the paper. "I'll give you a hint to help you survive the meeting. Read this."Jaime's eyes drifted to the paper then back to her."You're the director. Don't forget that."~~~~~It was not a pleasant feeling to know that he fired them just because of their age. He even hated himself when he saw the excited approval sparkling in the board members' eyes when he mentioned it.The streets were jammed with traffic at rush hour, and he sat in the car waiting for the red light to turn green, wondering if his father was more cold than he had ever imagined. He did not like this position, having the power to decide everything as if he were the king of an empire. Jaime doesn't want to make others suffer but he's doing exactly that. If his father did the same, he wanted to do it differe

"Why are you standing?" One of them asked with a sharp tone. "Sit down.""Yes..." Nodding awkwardly, Vivian timidly sat down, placing her hands on her thighs. Her eyes looked around the room because she didn't know where to look. She was afraid that if she touched one of the eyes here, they would take it as some kind of insult."Sorry for keeping everyone waiting." Her mother said walking into the living room with a tray full of teacups. As she placed the cups of tea on the table in front of everyone, Vivian thought that she looked more like a maid than the owner of this house. That's a shame.Vivian wasn't sure how she felt about that. Without doing anything, she remained there, glued to her seat with a feeling of guilt and pity. She recalls Jaime saying that his aunt and their mother were the same age but Mrs. Maggie looks beyond her years compared to her posh aunt. Vivian felt the same way."Are there any snacks included?" Another woman with dyed dark brown hair suggested."Why don

The fragrant smell of food filled my nose as Vivian approached the kitchen. The smell of butter permeated the air along with the sweet freshness that made Vivian's stomach growl. Tightening her grip on the tray, Vivian stopped as she got closer to the kitchen, feeling her heart become both wary and nervous. She should have left the teacups in the living room for her mother to come in and clean up but in the end, she didn't.Clicking her tongue, Vivian pushed her forward, across the tiled floor, she placed the tray on the table, near the sink. Empty teacups rattled as her mother washed them."Are they gone?" Mrs. Maggie asked."Yes." She didn't look at her mother, deliberately placing her eyes elsewhere."I just made some sushi. Do you want some?" her mother asked."No. I want to take a shower." Turning around, Vivian quickly walked out of the kitchen so as not to talk to her mother.The phone rang as she walked out of the bathroom. To her surprise, she saw Hodja's name appear on the s

The sound of high heels caught her attention. A second later, Hodja turned around when he saw a woman leaning against the corner of a brick wall that connected like a fence to Jaime's house. Following her gaze, Vivian realized it was Luna, who threw them a smile before coming out of her hiding place."I didn't mean to intrude," Luna said, hand resting on her arm. Caught off guard, Vivian withdrew her hand from Hodja."This is my younger brother." Vivian introduced, trying to act calm despite the nervous chills traveling down her spine. "Hodja, this is Luna, an important business partner."Out of politeness, they shook hands. Observing Hodja's tense face, Luna smiled cockily. "Looks like I've disturbed you two. I'll be back later.""No. You don't have to do that." Vivian quickly interrupted. "Hodja is about to leave." She glanced at him, praying he would cooperate with her. The younger brother coldly glanced at her, his eyes not backing down. "Is that right, Hodja? You have something t

Vivian stood still as people passed by, bumping into her on the street. She'd never felt worse than this, she craved Jaime by her side to a degree she couldn't even fathom.Reaching into her pocket, she took out her phone and called him. For a while, she heard the phone ring continuously, along with a haunting beep until her call went to voicemail.Maybe Jaime is very busy. It was only his second day at work but he was so busy with work. After being with him every day, Vivian forgot how to deal with loneliness. Now that he's gone to work, loneliness haunts her all the time but she can't do anything about it. Jaime made her believe that he would always be there for her.Pressing a hand to her forehead, Vivian fought to calm herself and then took a taxi. She needs to do something. Hodja is angry, before he comes back to drag her back, she needs to turn things around. And before Jerry and Hodja join hands, Vivian cannot sit still and let everything be lost. It was with great difficulty t

She didn't expect him to ask so she wasn't prepared to say anything. She doesn't want him to know that they spent all their time teasing and criticizing her with their negative hearts. This only made him more embarrassed."Very good." She lied."Really?" He asked without any doubt, she nodded, wondering if he believed her."How do your job then?" She changed the subject."Boring. Lots of meetings. I don't like the board members.""Why so?" She tried to act interested even though she didn't want to be."They're just arrogant old men." Jaime smiled and reached out to caress her face. "I feel better when we talk. Sorry, I couldn't take your call yesterday.""Huh? Uhm... it's okay." Vivian smiled."I have to go." He leaned over to kiss her. "I will try to leave early."Vivian nodded, watching him walk out the door. As soon as she confirmed that he had really left, she quickly got dressed and went out. Today she will finish her chores and then go shopping to her heart's content. If he foun

Jerry had never heard of this problem. It wasn't like Vivian had shared anything with him but to hear these things from the mouth of another girl, and that girl was the one Jaime should marry, was truly upsetting."Really?" He asked coldly. "What does that have to do with Vivian?""You care about her, right?" She said, noting the defensive note in his voice. Jerry felt his expression twist in annoyance but didn't confirm her suspicions. "Jaime needs someone with business ability in addition to a woman waiting at home.""Their marriage is none of her business." He says."No, I believe it is." She coldly dismissed his idea. "How Jaime performs as director affects the company, and how the company operates will affect the JK Construction partnership. Vivian brings no benefit to this.""You have no right to decide that.""I'm Jaime's advisor." She raised her head, signaling power. "Jaime is vulnerable, he is and always has been. I believe you know Jaime stands on a deeper level in their re

Vivian walked out of the bathroom. The sight of her with her wet hair wrapped up in a towel made her look seductive. He wanted to bury his face in her shoulder to feel comfort. That, he thought, would energize him after a day full of tiring schedules. But at the moment he is in no mood to be intimate."Are you back?" She asked when she saw him, smiling. "You left early today.""I'll try to leave earlier in the next few days, maybe next week." He promised firmly. "Did you withdraw money today?"He caught the surprised expression on her face. Guilty, she muttered. "Right." Hurrying towards the wardrobe, she opened it to show him the new dresses inside. "I bought new clothes. You said I could use them as I like to shop. I hope you don't mind."She seemed worried. It made him feel bad like he was arresting her for something that didn't need to be thought about. But thirty thousand dollars spent just on clothes? This is not reasonable. Jaime still found it unbelievable but decided not to f
