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.

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

Carson came here for dinner but he was shocked when he saw Elissa quarreling with a man twice her age. His expression for gloomy when he noticed the man was grabbing her arm. Carson misunderstood that Elissa had an improper relationship with the man. He grinded his teeth together when Elissa met his eyes. He noticed the fear in her eyes but he thought that it might be due to his presence.Carson was clouded with anger that he didn't realize the man was the Mayor. His eyes were only on Elissa.Elissa blinked and hurriedly left there and out of the restaurant. How could he do that to her? How could the Mayor be such a creep? Her body was heated because of being scared and when she exited the restaurant, the cool wind made the hair on her skin rose again.She wanted to get away from here from the Mayor.

Benjamin was in his office doing work when he got the call from Carson. He narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the screen. He wondered for what reason he was calling him. Putting down his pen and closing the file, he picked up the phone and received his call.“Hello, Carson.”“Can we meet?” Carson asked, ignoring his greeting.“For business purpose?” Benjamin asked in amusement. “If it's about that then sorry man.

With a grin on her beautiful face, she made her way inside the house. Entering in, she noticed Hera gazing at the flowers in the vase. “Good morning, Mom” she greeted in her cheery tone which grabbed Hera's attention. A smile emerged and she greeted her too.“Oh, Amanda. I feel so nice to see you. I wished you could stay here forever” Hera expressed.
