Benjamin was in his office, working on the laptop when he got a call from his father. He was a bit surprised and wondered what purpose he was calling him since he rarely initiated a call. “Hello, Dad.”“What is this, Benjamin?” Harold snapped from the other line. Benjamin’s eyebrows drew together and he was confused why his Dad was furious. “How can you not tell us about her?”“I don’t understand what you are saying, Dad.”“What is going on between that secretary of yours and you? Are you having an affair with her?”Benjamin was shocked. He wasn’t expecting this kind of conversation. When Benjamin couldn’t give him a satisfactory reply, Harold continued, “How can you have an affair with that kind of woman?”“What do you mean ‘that kind of woman’?” Benjamin questioned with a displeased expression. He was suddenly irritated when his father said something about Elissa.“That woman has a child, Benjamin” Harold revealed with disappointment in his son. Harold had high hopes for his son. He
“You are going to stay at my place,” Benjamin said. Elissa was sitting in the hospital bed with a bandage on her temple. She told him what happened and Benjamin was really mad about it. Elissa wanted to argue but she felt since she had nowhere else to go at the moment, she should just agree to what he said. Elissa gave him a faint smile and agreed to stay in his villa for a while.“Sorry for the trouble” she articulated. Benjamin made a face and joked that he was pleased to have a roommate.The doctor came in with a writing pad in his hand. Adjusting his round glasses, he smiled at Benjamin and then asked Elissa how she was feeling. “Better, doctor.”“She is good to go. Here are some supplements she needs to take for two weeks. She will be perfectly healthy after two weeks” the doctor said with enthusiasm and tearing the paper slip, he gave it to Benjamin. Benjamin told Elissa he would go and get her these while she get ready.After buying the medicines, he took Elissa to his car and
Kimberly and Amanda got the news that Elissa was kicked out of the apartment and Benjamin took her to his villa. The mother-daughter planned to tell this to Carson to instigate him and create more misunderstanding, thus, completely making Carson hate Elissa.Amanda went to the Waverly Residency, radiating a smile that said she was going to do something. “Good morning Mom!” she greeted Hera in her chirpy tone. Hera was having her chamomile tea when she noticed Amanda coming. She smiled and greeted back. Whenever Amanda called her Mom, she felt bad that the engagement was still not done.“Where's Carson?” Amanda asked casually. Hera told her he was in his room and getting the information she went upstairs. Her black heels made a sound against the marbled floor. Amanda was excited to tell Carson about Elissa and Benjamin.The door was half open and Amanda knocked before going in. One time, she had walked inside without knocking and found Carson coming out from the bathroom in only a towe
A new apartment was hard to find. Elissa went through various apartments but she couldn't find a suitable one for her. When she does like one, it went over her budget and the ones under her budget weren't good. Elissa scratched her head and grumbled. She had spent hours on her laptop finding apartments. She sighed and closed her eyes for a moment.A few days have gone by since Elissa started to live in Benjamin's villa and during her stay, Benjamin had made sure Elissa was properly taken care of. She also got to know him better and had moments where they accidentally came close.He was very sweet and caring but Elissa couldn't accept that. She couldn't accept his affection and care towards her. She knew he had feelings for her which she wanted he shouldn't. She came up with the decision to tell him about her being a single mother. She thought that after he knows that she was a single mother, he would take a step back and stop pursuing her.Elissa had half today and so she was in the v
Since Elissa was involved with Benjamin's company and he also happened to be his enemy in business, Carson had to have all the information regarding him and his company including his recent activities. Carson's manager informed him about the team-building project of Benjamin's company.Carson thought that Elissa must also be going there and the fact that the two would get more time to spend together made his blood boil. He also decided to go to the same resort where Benjamin was. Carson's manager was confused by his sudden m reckless decision but he obeyed without any argument. Carson told his manager to tell the employees about the trip and ask them to get ready.He took his things and went to his house first before going to the destination. He needed to pick up a few things before he went.He reached the Waverly Residency and was heading straight to his room when Hera stopped him. He paused in his tracks and turned to her mother. “Are you going somewhere, son?” she asked.“Yes, Mom.
“Let's play Truth and Dare!”All the employees gathered around and formed a circle. Carson had no interest in playing but since Elissa and Benjamin were participating, he couldn't sit back. He agreed to play and so did Amanda.“Everyone is familiar with the rules, right?” Vivi, an employee started and kept the bottle in the middle. When everyone nodded, she spin the bottle and everyone excitedly waited on whom the bottle would land.Elissa sat beside Benjamin and Carson and Amanda sat opposite them. Elissa was hoping that the bottle shouldn't land on her because when Carson and Amanda were here, she was worried things would go the wrong way. But her luck wasn't with her today. The bottle landed on her and Elissa cursed internally. The employees cheered and were deciding who should ask her.“I think Boss should be the one to ask!”“I agree!”Upon the employee's urges, Benjamin happily asked, “Truth or Dare, Elissa?”“Truth…” Elissa said with a nervous smile. Games of these kinds scared
Amanda had searched for the two of them but she didn't see Elissa or Carson. She somehow managed to get out from those employees by luring them into drinking. Half of them were drunk already. Amanda was growing impatient and irritated. What if Carson snd Elissa got back together? She was having thoughts like this and kept on dialing Carson's number. When she randomly looks towards the front door of the hotel, relief floods over her when Carson enters through it. She ends the call and hurriedly run towards his direction.Carson was in a bad mood. Anyone could see it by judging his expression. What was he thinking when he said he was going to be engaged soon? He was hoping to see her jealous or the fact that she cared about him, but nothing.“Carson! Where did you go? I was looking for you all over” Amanda said, huffing. She searched for his face but remained cold with a stoic expression. She was desperate to know what happened between them and so she asked, “You and Elissa…what did the
