Bella was looking at the girl who was at the door. She looked a little crazy. Her eyes held something when they met. Bella could tell Nicholas knew her. She felt Nicholas’ hand wrapping around her waist and was holding her protectively. She saw the girl also noticed this and her eyes turned even more fiery.Wendy disliked the woman in Nicholas' arms. She was an old lady from her point of view. She wanted to let Bella know her worth, that she was not worthy of Nicholas Dominic, the CEO. Since Claire, the old secretary, had been on a sabbatical, Wendy was given her post. When she entered Dominic Enterprises as an intern, she wanted to get close to Nicholas. She had always wanted to be his girl. Wendy did not have any clue about Nicholas and his past. She once saw him at the general meeting in the company and had fallen in love with him. “Hi, I am Wendy Bert, the secretary”Both Nicholas and Bella were shocked to hear her introduce herself in a spiteful manner. Bella understood that th
When Claire, Nicholas’ secretary went on to take a sabbatical, she voiced her opinion of giving her to Wendy Bert, the intern who was actually quite good. She was competent and hard working which impressed Claire, so she recommended Wendy to her boss.Claire had been working for Nicholas since he took on the role of CEO. So it was obvious that the person she recommended must be good. After Wendy was given this opportunity to be Nicholas’ temporary secretary a few months ago, it was like Wendy was another person. Her whole demeanor changed rapidly. When she was interning she was very good with her colleagues and her superiors. After becoming the temporary secretary, she did not indulge or spend time with her colleagues in the office. She became someone who her colleagues wanted to avoid when they wanted to meet the CEO. She was very mean to women who had appointments to meet the CEO.She was the reason why the HR department could not find another secretary for the CEO. She had cancele
It had been a few days since the Wendy fiasco. The twins and Sersi were waiting for Bella to return home from her work. Samuel was really excited to tell the news to the family. He also secretly wished for NIcholas to be here.Fortunately, it was Nicholas who came to drop Bella off. When Samuel said he wanted to share an exciting piece of news and wanted Nicholas to join them, he was elated. The kids saw him as part of their family. It felt natural for them to include Nicholas in everything these days.When everyone was gathered at the main hall of their house, Samuel stood up and said, “I– I, no we’ve got a huge order. You all know how I like pottery and have been working on it to expand the business. Well, our website was found by an art collector. He contacted me as our website mentioned me as the artist for all of our pottery products. He wants an entire new collection from me, and has made an appointment with me the day after.”“I would really like it if Nicholas or Grandpa Pete
Sersi never understood why her mother was sad. She did not know how or why her father was always at the hospital or was never at home. She thought if she could become a nurse she could understand. But, now she is actually studying to become one. She must give it her all. She has never seen her mother wear any clothes that weren’t hand me downs or were newly bought. It always looked worn out. But, her mother never once made her feel neglected or poor. They were moderately okay. Now, the business is all going well. Sersi has always felt that her mother and brothers have kept some things to themselves. She did not want to question them about it because she knew whatever they were hiding might be for her well being. Sersi was always the princess of the Woods family. Now, Nicholas too treats her like the princess she was. In her eyes, Nicholas was perfect for her mother. But she always felt like she was always left out.Sersi heard about the Wendy Bert issue and was startled. She did not
After discussing quite a bit about the pottery works of Samuel, Griffin said he would draft a contract with him and keep in touch with him so that they could share their thoughts on the art pieces together. Nicholas was just a moral support to Samuel. He let Samuel handle everything on his own.Nicholas also noticed the glances they have been giving each other during the entire conversation. He excused himself to go to the washroom in order for them to get close. Nicholas knew that Griffin was the most honest and reliable man and always fell in love with the wrong ones. Since him being the CEO of a major entertainment company, he has always struggled to find a partner that he could trust.Griffin liked how confident yet shy Samuel was. Samuel’s passion for his art form shone in his eyes when he spoke about the inspirations for his works. He liked how lovely shade of pink his cheeks turned whenever their eyes met even for a second longer.Samuel was flustered when he saw how intense Gr
Nicholas just hugged Samuel and reassured him that he was always a family to him.Nicholas released him from the hug, and looked at Griffin and said, “if you think or even dream about hurting my boy, I have all the power in me to destroy your beloved company and make you go penniless. So treat him like the prince he is”.Samuel blushed at this and Griffin chuckled and reassured Nicholas that he will be treated properly.Nicholas was satisfied with the answer and left them saying that there was an emergency at his office and asked Griffin to drop Samuel. Griffin agreed and took Samuel’s hand into his and pulled him out of the restaurant.The evening was lovely. The breeze was not too cold, so they went for a stroll near the park. Samuel was feeling giddy on how Griffin had been treating him the entire afternoon and now.Griffin didn’t want to force Samuel into dating an older man. He sighed, “Sugar, I don’t want you to feel pressured into this. We have just started talking and I know I
“The night before our wedding, I received an email that devastated me. I didn't know that mail could shatter my heart into pieces. I had been out with my friends that night. Griffin was picking up Gabriel who was drunk and couldn't stop hiccuping. For a neurosurgeon he was an idiot who couldn't control the number of drinks he had drunk that night.There was also Calum who was a childhood friend of mine. He is a stock market manager. Only four of us were out and these three were my best men for the wedding.”“We somehow managed to go to the hotel we were staying in before leaving for the ceremony. We managed to put Gabriel on bed and went to our rooms. I was tired from driving the car, as I was designated driver for the night and did not touch alcohol that night. I went to the room freshened up before going to bed. I was about to sleep when I heard my phone notification. It was an email from Olivia. It was surprising because she never sent me any mail prior to this. We always call each
Callum was really feeling chills on his spine. He could tell this was really important and noticed it was only him and Nicholas in the room. Whatever happened it was always the four of them together. All four were really close with each other, especially him, Nicholas and Gabriel. They were of the same age. And went to the same school till they were in their teens. And pursued their passion after that but still maintained a very close knitted relationship.“Callum, I am really sorry for what is about to happen. I really wish there was another way to tell this to you but I also didn’t find it out. I found out only an hour back. Please sit down and look at this file.”Callum didn’t understand why Nic was being sore and was so shaken. But whatever is making him feel this way is inside this file. Callum opened the file only to see all the details about Olivia and her entire history. Her encounter with Nic and him. He couldn’t really believe his eyes. He thought the Olivia that Nic mention
