She was waiting for the lecture to end so she could talk to him before he left without saying a word to her. Instead of making a note her gaze focused on him, he was listening and watching the professor in total concentration. However She definitely didn't hear anything else, her mind was swayed, perturbed as she was sitting, playing with a pen, scrambling nothing on her book. ”That's the end of the lecture...” Professor Clark packed his text book and laptop into his bag then left the lecture theater. Students had started leaving the lecture theatre one after the other, Charlene sprang up from her seat, she took her handbag, the book and her pen then stood on the way she assumed he would take. Javier noticed so he whirled to take another exit, he made to leave without talking to her, but before he could take another step further, she called his name softly. “Javier, wait.” He didn't look back but he stopped walking. She sighed, walking over to where he was standing. “Hi.” He loo
The bodyguards bowed as they walked past them, Richard seemed not to notice anything else including the guests that were drooling over him. Devyn never stopped smiling at the bodyguards at the entrance. “Welcome, sirs.” A giant bodyguard greeted them, directed them to a room. He unlocked the door with the key then they walked inside leisurely. The bodyguard stopped by the door as he had reached his stop, they took an elevator to the top floor meant for the VIP. “I don't understand what we're doing here in SL Tower. Are you here to meet your client?”“Actually I invited someone over here. He wants us to meet so…” He narrowed at him. They sidled out after the elevator slid open.“Oh.” He gave a feeble response. He believed the person Richard invited must be someone important like them, so he only came to the tower for a conference with foreigners. Surprisingly when Devyn saw director Wilson, the least person he expected, he twitched his lips.Wilson rose, he smiled brightly at Richard
“You'll be late if you keep pretending to be sleeping, Charlene.” Richard whispered to her ear, sending a chill down her spine. She chuckled quietly as she turned her back at him. She had checked the time when Richard left to get dressed in the closet, since she had made up her mind to spend the whole day with Miguel there was no reason for her to wake up early. Moreover she was imagining last night's event, she couldn't get over it. Their first night was awesome, if there was anything Charlene ever wanted again it was his touch, she wanted to feel his touch again. Richard thought she was still in pain, perhaps she was regretting what happened between them last night. Literally they were a couple, that should be expected to happen even if both individuals were forced to marry each other. However Richard wasn't giving up until she answered him. “Does it hurt that much?” He asked chivalrously. The magnanimous attention she was receiving from him was making her uneasy, she wondered if i
Devyn had been staring at him ever since he stepped into his office. Although he had something to discuss with him concerning the company, there was something else that was more important he'd love to ask him. Devyn cleared his throat. He blinked multiple times as he gazed at him steadily.Richard was literally pissed off. He wondered how long he would continue to be staring at him. He put down his phone beside him. Then, contracted his lips into a frown. “For how long will you continue staring at me like that?”Devyn sat upright purposely. He chuckled. “As long as I'm able to picture out the answers in your eyes. How was your date with Greta?”“I know you're going to ask about that. It was quite exhilarating. She's just obsessed.” He said with a pout.“But you're married. Didn't she know?”Richard cocked his head as he looked intently into his eyes. “Does it matter? When you desperately want something, other things don't matter.”He gasped surprisingly. He furrowed his brows, focused
Richard furrowed his brows. He wasn't expecting her to ask that question. Frankly, he had never prepared an answer for the question to start with. Since she already asked him, he would have to answer her and be straightforward with her.Charlene was already on her feet, anticipating his reply. She gazed at him from the bedside, waiting for him to answer her. When he was taking too much time getting an answer to her question, she spoke again. “I've been thinking about this but I'm perplexed. Richard, I want to have your child.” “Wait!” He was nearly speechless.“Was I asking for too much? Oh!” She hit her forehead gently, sighing softly. “But, I-I'm ready to carry your child.” She said calmly.For a few seconds his facial expression was completely plain, giving her a fright without knowing. Suddenly he smiled lightly. “I'm just concerned about your education.”“I'm in my final year, Richard. I told you that. Right?”“Yeah, I remember.” He ran his fingers through his hair, getting clos
“What are you going to say about this, Ms. Janice?” After stomping into the office Henrietta turned on the TV show. There, Greta Christopher was on live broadcast, having an interview. Ms. Janice glanced at her, then lifted a brow. “Seriously?”“What do you want me to do? The company doesn't want your face on the cover of their fashion magazines. To be honest, I thought you're better but…I was wrong. The company sent an invite to Greta and she signed a contract with us. Our industry doesn't want to lose a big slot, so I have no choice but to sign her into our industry.” She explained thoroughly.Henrietta tightened her fists ferociously. “So, what are you insinuating? You're kicking me out of the industry?” She tried to maintain her cool but she was pissed off. There were furies in her eyes while gazing into her eyes steadily.“Don't be ridiculous!” She snapped, leaping up.“You make me understand what it means. Greta is given what is supposed to be mine. I'm the queen in this industr
It had been three weeks since Henrietta had been on probation. She was forced to abase herself during the second week. When Greta Christopher appeared on the frontpage of every fashion magazine, Henrietta was so envious of her and couldn't help but get angry at the same time. Although she had another conversation with Mr Wilson but it didn't yield a good result. After all, he had an agreement with Mr Sullivan. Richard got him what the industry wanted and he also had to give him something in return.The last person she cared about was Miguel. Dolly encouraged her to go on a vacation, and she agreed. Although Richard eventually granted her to come for Miguel anytime she wanted, she would have to bring him back to the mansion in the next three days, as it was stated in their agreement. Dolly did a thorough investigation in the industry during the time Henrietta was away, she eventually found out the reason for an expected probation. There were people that knew everything that happened i
Richard put his hand on her forehead to examine her body temperature. However, she was burning up. While sitting up she looked at him, smiling faintly. “I'm fine. Stop looking at me like that.” Richard was worried and it was hard for him to hide that he was.Richard shook his head in disagreement to what she said. He couldn't wait for the doctor to divulge the outcome of the result. “What's wrong with her? Is it a fever?” As it was the only thing he could think of. She had been vomiting lately, complaining about being dizzy, weak and more. It was strange to him, Charlene had never been really ill ever since they got married. Richard asked about her period tracker, assuming it might be one of the symptoms but she told him it was either breast tenderness or an awful cramp. What she was feeling at the moment was also strange to her.After checking her calendar, she missed her monthly period which was strange. She had never missed it before. After browsing for more information, she conclu
