"And I said no," Hadley says deadpanned, not giving room to any information that Maurice was going to say, and the man that was sitting on his chair majestically like an unbothered king also does not care.Maurice also does not have anything to say to Hadley so he just kept going through his files without giving her any glance and that irritated her more.What was she going to say for the Cold CEO to look at her?Hadley knows she can not stay in the same office with Maurice talkless of working for him by being his secretary. She was going to get caught.They are all going to find out that she did not graduate from college when they start giving her special tasks that they thought would be an easy feat for someone that graduated with first honors.She just can not take the risk."I really think you should rethink this Mr. Elliot, I don't mind being a messenger or even a cleaner for this company but you really should not let me be a secretary, I would…."I would fail, Hadley screamed in
Hadley's breath becomes uneven immediately after she hears there might be something wrong with the car and with Maurice's unsettled look, she knows it was not something ordinary.A soft scream escaped her mouth as the driver started running through different red lights under Maurice's instructions and she kept telling herself that it was fine. A red blush rose to her cheek due to intense fear that she did not know that Maurice was instructing her to do something until she felt his closeness."Are you trying to take advantage of me during this crisis," Hadley shrieked, extremely annoyed about Maurice's action but she was embarrassed when she saw what Maurice did."Instead of your deafening cries don't you think getting yourself to safety first is the best solution," Maurice says, anger evident in his voice as he jerked Hadley's body with the seat belt and she gasped in discomfort knowing the man did it on purpose.After Maurice helps with Hadley's seat belt he saw red rashes rise to hi
After the near-death accident Hadley experienced she was feeling solemn and her bubbly self was low on candy.She needed help because she was losing her brain.Waking up was already a hassle because she kept having nightmares about what happened the other night and she knew she would look horrible."Good morning ma'am," one of the maids greeted Hadley and age answered half-heartedly.But what was good about her morning? She was still acting as a substitute for her sister, she is now a secretary to her husband and just last night she almost died.What a splendid morning it is.Hadley walked to the dining hall and she saw Maurice eating on the table so she just decided to leave without turning back."Come let's eat," Maurice said without raising his head to look at his wife, and Hadley sneered.Is that the proper way to talk to his wife? That's none of my business, it's Ella's headache, Hadley thought."No, I am not hungry," Hadley said and she turned to leave.Maurice finally raised hi
The morning sun seeped into the room gently and the brightness complimented the room's decor as it gave it a hue."Good morning ma'am," a maid greeted Hadley while she drew the curtain so the sun could shine more into the room and when she turned around she was faced with Hadley staring at her."Ahhhh," she shrieked, jerking back in fear seeing the young mistress and Hadley scoffed at her reaction.Hadley turned to look at herself in the mirror and she could say if she got casted for the character of the walking ghost she was not going to need makeup because she was perfect for the role. She looked horrible.No wonder the girl was scared, Hadley pondered.She has not slept a wink ever since she got home the other night and after what she heard from her father she knew she would be lacking it alot.Ella was not going to come back, that was the silliest joke she has ever heard but after her father explained the situation to her it was more than clear that she was duped from the beginning
Maurice looked at Hadley who was just staring at him blankly and he wondered if she was not the woman that was staring at him earlier.Was I mistaken? Maurice pondered but he decided not to dwell on it."What do you mean you cook?" Maurice asked, trying to change the subject and Hadley looked flustered hearing that.How was she going to explain to him that she was trying to be a good wife to him, there was just no way of pleasing the man, Hadley pondered but she decided to still act sweet."Humm did you want to eat now?" Hadley asked and Maurice creased his eyebrow. He was very sure that Ella was a girl that was raised with absolute care and lived so he just does not know how she can cook."You can cook?" Maurice asked taking brisk steps towards Hadley and she shifted back in fear.Different thoughts run through Hadley's head as she looks at the approaching Maurice.What is he saying? Does Ella not know how to cook? Hadley thought but she decided to gamble."I learned some dishes rece
Carolina's face darkened at Hadley's blatant disrespect to her and she also felt like she was mocking her.The nerve of that woman!"Cousin, I am sure Miss Ella is not used to attending the party of the socialites so I think it would be overwhelming for her," Carolina says and Hadley knew she was trying to get him not to go to the party with her but also mocking her that woman was a witch."What did you mean that she might not be used to the way of a socialite? She was raised in the family of an aristocrat and most especially I could tolerate her in my space a little so I can tell you that she is my best bet in going to this party," Maurice says coldly like Hadley was just like a business proposal that sounds better and Hadley felt offended but she knew it was better than not getting recommended.Carolina gritted her teeth at the obvious truth and she decided to swallow her displeasure there could always be another day to get back at her Hadley."Ok I would be going now," Carolina say
Hadley let out an awkward laugh and even her laugh sounded stiff to her ears. There was no way she was going to admit that she almost fought the man over a cone of ice cream.Ladies of high society don't do such things."Of course, we have met before Mrs. Elliot so what are you saying," the man that was supposed to be the host said again and the man beside him looked at her wondering what was happening.Why are they making a fuss about their meetings?"I really don't remember sir because I have met a lot of people but did you perhaps come to our wedding because you kinda looked familiar," Hadley says trying to get the man off her back. She could easily push him off her back by saying that and she hopes the man catches up on her lie."I don't think you are someone that quickly forgets people that easily because you look like someone ready to make me compensate you for that ice cream the next time we meet," the man said with a smug smile and Hadley's awkward smile faltered.The secret s
After Hadley dragged Maurice to the car the chauffeur had a series of questions lingering in his face wondering why the boss and the madam were out early."I didn't just do that right?" Hadley asked immediately as they get back into the car and Maurice wondered what she was blabbering about."I might have lost it, I really might have lost it," Hadley chants, and Maurice rolled his eyes at her drama but he jerked in fear because of the woman's action."Ahhhh ahhh," Hadley burst into hysterical laughter but it immediately turned into cries and Maurice wondered why the woman was experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions."I have been the headlines tomorrow and it would go like this 'The crazy wife of Maurice Elliot' or that does not seem right 'The crazy wife of the business tycoon finally show the symptoms for her disease'," Hadley says and Maurice and the chauffeur kept glancing at her while she dampened in her monologue."Mr. Elliot I think you should book your lovely wife an appointme
