"You're going to take three days off and just leave the company?" Andy snapped in a high tone."I'm not just leaving the company," Nicholas retorted with furrowed brows. "Why do you use such a negative-sounding term?"Andy snorted. "You're irresponsible, Nicholas! You still have a lot of work to do and your three months are almost over. Are you going to leave so much burden for Leon when he comes back?"Nicholas slammed the table hard. His eyes shone very sharply and his lips formed a sarcastic smile."I'm irresponsible? Are you seriously saying that? Are you blind? In these two months, how many projects can I break through? How many pending jobs can I complete? Do I need to take the company's profit chart from the finance department? Or a record of how many new projects came in in the two months when I was CEO, compared to what your other son had produced?"Nicholas' words were very calm, but sharp and piercing. He stared straight into Andy's eyes without blinking."I don't understan
Charles was happy because Nathalie accepted his offer of cooperation.He did not delay long and immediately made a cooperation contract. Nathalie is a freelance design staff for Mrs. Keylani's current resort project.At first Charles was a bit annoyed because the price Nathalie asked for was very high, but he was satisfied seeing the initial design sketch given by Nathalie and was willing to pay according to Nathalie's request."Make sure all the details are the same and don't miss anything. This is my late husband's request," said Mrs. Keylani for the umpteenth time. "Please supervise the workers so that there are no mistakes or shortcomings.""Of course, Mrs. Keylani. We will try our best to realize the same resort as before, to fulfill your late husband's wishes," replied Charles."Ah, and if possible, I also want to meet your wife again, Mr. Frederick. I really like Nathalie. She is smart, beautiful, and kind. You are lucky to be with her," add
"Oh, I hate my body," Gina said, staring at herself in the mirror behind her."Tch, your body is fine," Marla said in an annoyed tone. "You're just pregnant and bear it, don't complain too much. Charles won't like it. He'll think you don't want to have his child!""I'm going on a strict diet after I give birth," Gina said, rubbing her stomach. "Oh, but this is a really pretty beach dress.""I really can't come?" Marla asked. She sighed, envious of her daughter's youthfulness. Even with her pregnant and growing body, Gina still looked beautiful in the beach dress Charles had just bought her, a set with a bikini."Don't be ridiculous, Mom," Gina said. "This is my first vacation with Charles, of course you can't come."Gina was very enthusiastic about preparing for this vacation to the Maldives. She had never been to the Maldives and of course it was on her wish list of vacation destinations she wanted to visit.In the past, when she first star
"Nicholas? Honey?"Nicholas turned his head, diverting his attention from the trunk he was about to close. "Yes, baby?"Nathalie pointed at the villa in front of her. "Are we really going to stay here?""Hm, yes," Nicholas said. He approached Nathalie while dragging two suitcases, his and hers. "Why? Do you think the place is not big enough? Not comfortable enough? I'll ask for a more--"Nathalie stood on tiptoe and kissed Nicholas, to silence him. "Sshhh...."Nicholas smiled and kissed Nathalie back. "Shall we try the bed right away?"Nathalie laughed. "Young Master Grand, my pervert love man, I mean, this is a very nice and big villa. We can even bring four or five more people here and it still feels spacious."Nicholas laughed. He moved closer to Nathalie. "Isn't that great? We can try every corner freely."Nathalie glanced and laughed at Nicholas' flirtatious words. She grabbed one of the suitcases from Nicholas' hand.
"It's so nice to see you again, Nathalie," Mrs. Keylani said. She looked at Nathalie from head to toe and back to her face. "You're getting more beautiful and glowing.""Thank you," Nathalie said. "You also look healthy and fresh.""There's a job that makes me excited, after my husband passed away," Mrs. Keylani said cheerfully."Ah, my condolences on your husband's passing," Nathalie said."Tsk, that was almost two years ago," Mrs. Keylani said with a laugh. She moved closer to Nathalie and whispered, "Being single is quite fun, especially if you have a large inheritance."Nathalie laughed. "As long as you're healthy and happy, Ma'am.""I was so happy when I found out that you would also come to supervise the work. I remember, when you supervised my first resort, you were so meticulous and detailed, so that when everything was finished, I was very satisfied with the results and even before my husband died, he kept saying that he wanted you
The lunch was only fun for Nicholas, Nathalie, and Mrs. Keylani.Charles and Gina sat uncomfortably, as if there were nails in the chairs they were sitting on."Mr. Frederick, why didn't you just tell me that you and Nathalie are divorced?" Mrs. Keylani asked in an unamused tone. "At least that would reduce the discomfort between us.""Yes, I'm sorry, Mrs. Keylani," Charles said embarrassedly.Mrs. Keylani turned to look at Gina. "And you, ma'am, didn't have to be so rude to tell me. I'm sure Nathalie wouldn't think of going back to your husband. She's with a Grand!"Gina pouted, but Charles nudged her leg under the table and Gina quickly lowered her head and apologized softly.Mrs. Keylani ignored them after that and was only busy talking to Nicholas and Nathalie."I was friends with her late mother, since Nicholas and my daughter, Marilyn, were born in the same hospital and almost got mixed up," said Mrs. Keylani."However, s
Charles and Gina were both upset.Charles was worried about Mrs. Keylani's response to the next situation, after finding out that he and Nathalie had divorced. He was also annoyed at Nicholas who seemed to have relatives everywhere, even Mrs. Keylani. What a lucky rich bastard.Gina was restless because she felt jealous of Nathalie's luck. Since the beginning of her time with Charles, she was sure that Charles' wife who was going to be divorced would have a hard time moving on from Charles.How could she not. Charles was rich, a CEO of a big company, his family was well-known, and he was also very handsome and cool. She felt satisfied because Charles chose her. Her pregnancy was her luck.Who said a woman from an ordinary background like her couldn't beat a woman who was said to be a graduate of a famous university and also had great talent as an interior designer.However, the good reality turned out to still be on that woman's side.Just l
Nicholas PoVI really wanted to punch Charles. I don't know what he did to Nathalie that made her so angry and emotional, that she finally passed out.Since morning, I saw Nathalie wake up listlessly. She sat on the side of the bed for a long time and seemed lazy to move.That was different from the usual Nathalie. Since arriving here, then starting work, she was always excited."I want to finish this project quickly, then I don't have to see Charles anymore. I'm sick of him!" said Nathalie when I asked why she was so excited to go to the project.Actually I was a little jealous, but I didn't want Nathalie to feel like I didn't trust her. Besides, after we talked about many things that had been missed between us, I felt our relationship was getting closer and closer.The wedding affairs were almost finished and we planned to get married immediately after I returned my position as CEO for three months to replace Leon.Nathalie also said that after this project, she would reduce her wor
Charles returned to the project, still feeling dizzy and out of breath.His nose hurt and he thought he might have broken a bone, because Nicholas had hit him so hard.Luckily, he was in the hospital, so a nurse helped him immediately after Nicholas left.Nathalie's workload was no longer too much, because she was always fast at work and never procrastinated."How is Ms. Nathalie, boss?" asked Zoey, one of the staff under Nathalie's direct supervision. "Is she okay?""Yes, she's fine, just tired and... Pregnant," Charles said in a tired tone."Ms. Nathalie is pregnant?" said Zoey in a happy tone. "I knew it!""What do you mean?" asked Charles confused. "How did you know Nathalie was pregnant?""For the past two days, Ms. Nathalie has always looked nauseous every time the paint can is opened," said Zoey. "Usually she likes to snack while watching us work, but yesterday she didn't and she said that her stomach felt nauseous all the time, so she didn't want to eat. My wife was like that
"Excuse me, who are you?" asked Doctor Sonny confusedly, looking at Nicholas and Charles alternately.Doctor Sonny knew who Nicholas was. He was the owner of the famous The Grand Care hospital, he had even interned there for a year before moving here.The middle-aged woman with Nicholas was also familiar to him, although he did not know her very well. She had seen her check up on his friends several times and she was also the owner of a resort around here.However, the other man, who had been looking restless all along and who had stood up when the question about the patient's family came up, was a complete stranger."Mr. Charles, why do you need to say something like that?" Mrs. Keylani said annoyedly. "And you shouldn't be here either. Nathalie is already with her future husband and he is the most trustworthy man here.""It's about employment insurance, Ma'am," Charles said nervously. Mrs. Keylani's fierce attitude made him awkward."I'm sure, without any insurance, Nicholas can aff
