Katherine POV

After witnessing Noreen’s shock, Lucas, with Erin in his arms, geared me toward the lobby.

I was slowly getting used to the stares I got from people around us when we entered the event’s function hall.

At the entrance, Lucas put Erin down and held her hand while he wrapped his arm around mine.

We walked the red carpet.

Cameras whirred and flashed upon our arrival.

I did not realize that practitioners from various media entities were invited to the event. The realization almost made me falter in my steps.

If Lucas is not gripping my waist, I would have buckled down.

I held back, suddenly feeling shy.

I heard gasps and cheers from the crowd,

I do not need any introduction.

If Noreen knew the real Mrs. Lucas Sanders would be in attendance tonight. I guess everyone was anticipating our arrival.

I saw Lorrie smiling at me and clapping her hands.

My head turned, looking for my best friend. I heard that she was heartbroken at the death of her nanny, but I was half-exp

  • Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect?   Chapter 167. Jealousy

    Oliver POV“Sir? Mr. Manns?” In my slumber, I heard someone calling and nudging me awake. Blearily, I forced my eyes open and looked at that someone, feeling disoriented. When recognition set in, I realized he was the house security. Disappointment washed over that very instant when everything came into focus and realized where I was. “What?” I asked tiredly. I did not know how long I stayed slumped on the floor with my back against Veronica’s door. I don't care either. “You will get a kink in your neck, sir. Are you drunk?” The security looked quizzically at me, forcing me to stand up to look around me. Except for the two of us, the hallway is deserted. Then, I checked my wristwatch and grimaced when I noticed the time. “Has Ms. Miller arrived?” I asked, my voice sounded hoarse to my ears. The security shook his head. I sighed and sat down again, occupying the same position I had from earlier. It felt as if my strength had left me. Veronica is still out somewhere and

    Veronica POVRed looked embarrassed when I whipped my head around to stare at him sharply. He rubbed the back of his head. His expression was apologetic. I nearly reproached him if I did not realize that it was an offhand remark. “I am sorry. That was uncalled for. We contracted an agency to tail you for a long time, and I always get the first copy of their report. I saw clips and printouts of your face all the time. I don’t mean bad about the comment, and don’t you be awkward around me if you ever agree to your father’s request.” The lengthy explanation was unnecessary, but maybe he needed to say that to clear the unease that would arise in the future. I let it slide and continued exploring the office. Then, he brought me to the other office. “This will be our office.” I saw four cubicles and a large table at the back. “Presently, I have three assistants working for your father. If you will take the job he was offering, you will be the fourth assistant to form part of our

    Veronica POVAfter my father and I talked, he invited me to his building.It was the first time I stepped foot on his property, which according to him, will be part of my inheritance. “I am hoping that you consider working here from now on.” My father said. I took in the entire executive floor where my father is currently holding office before I turned my head back to face him. “Doing what?”“I wanted to prepare you for the position of CEO. You can start by working for Greg. He is my chief executive assistant. You can be his assistant.” “But, but, but ..” I stuttered. “I don’t know anything about being an assistant,” I said.My voice hinted at a protest.I had no foreknowledge of an executive job. I primarily work for the marketing department of SF conglomerates. What do I know about running a business?My father smiled. It was like he could see through my uncertainty.“I am sure Red will help you learn the ropes. You can learn a lot from him.”I sighed. I wanted to know my

  • Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect?   Chapter 164. Be the Man for Her

    Oliver POVWith no options left, I began to trace my way back to our apartment with the hope that Veronica was already there and that there was an explanation for her absence.I kept hoping that she was stalled elsewhere.I don’t want to overthink or worry excessively about things that I have no control over. All I am praying for is for Veronica to be safe and sound.While driving, I kept looking at sidewalks, eager for a glimpse of her. Every time I caught a woman with even a modicum of similarity to her frame or appearance or her hair, I would stare at it for seconds, but who am I kidding?Even without staring hard, I knew Veronica. My h

  • Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect?   Chapter 163. Want Her to be Safe

    Oliver POV There was urgency in my movement when I shut the engine of my car and stared at our apartment building. Then, I opened the sun visor overhead to check my face on the vanity mirror, making sure that I looked my best. When I was satisfied, I opened the car door, bent a little to pull out the bouquet of roses I ordered earlier, and walked toward the building. I was in high spirits. I tried to slow down, but excitement bubbled up inside me at the thought that Veronica would be surprised to see me home so early. She was not expecting me back so soon, but right after my talk with Mia, I felt like I could not wait to see Veronica again. I missed her. The longing seemed to stretch when I had to wait for the elevator to go down along with several residents. Some kept eyeing my roses, and I stood tall and proud because this was for the woman who had become such an important part of my life. I can’t believe how it happened. I used to ignore her presence. I would have c

  • Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect?   Chapter 162. Not Yet Too Late

    Veronica POvI bit my lip to keep the anguished sob at bay, holding fiercely on my moral fortitude to tide me over. I wanted to jump from my seat and bolt to the entrance because I didn't feel like I was ready for this meeting. I can't confront my father right now. Not when my emotions are unstable and I might say things I would regret later. But my feet are stuck. Ironically, my knees do not have any strength left. I couldn't move while my father pinned me with his gaze. Don't get me wrong, my father never laid his hands on me. It was his wife and my brother. But he never said anything to stop them, but his silence made him complicit in their cruelty. It was always work, office, house. He was always so busy with his work that you can count on one finger how many times I saw him in the past.“How are you, my daughter? The words were stuck in my throat.I looked at him helplessly. It seemed he understood what was happening to me because the next instant, I was already enfo
