View MoreThe doctor finally released me to go home after a day in the hospital. She emphasized the importance of avoiding stress, as it was the trigger for my fainting spell. Mom and Celestina were there to help me settle back in."It's good to have you home," Celestina said."Cassian?" I asked."Mr. Smith hasn't been home for a few days, ma'am," Celestina replied.Mom and I exchanged a worried look. "Let Cassian be," Mom said.I sighed deeply. We slowly walked up the grand staircase of the house."Take it slow," Mom reminded me. It felt strange. Knowing Cassian was gone brought a wave of sadness."Mom, can you find out where Cassian is? I'm really worried about him," I confessed.Mom stared at me intently. "Don't tell me you're falling for Cassian?" Her eyes widened with surprise."I don't know, Mom. Maybe it's just guilt. It's not easy to ruin Cassian's reputation and the Delaware company because of someone like me, someone so careless.""Don't say that. It's me who's hurting, Eli. Remember,
I tried to contact the stranger's number but was surprised when it suddenly went out of coverage area.I just stared at my phone in dismay, but my heart suddenly beat faster when Mom called.I took a deep breath before answering her call. "Mom, did you call?""Is what's on the news true, Eli?" I could hear the intense worry in my mother's voice.I glanced at the time and decided to go home first. I'll probably just take a taxi home since Cassian isn't in the mood today because of the big mess I'm in. I'm wondering what Mr. Robert is thinking about me. I have no face to show him."Let's talk, Mom. Wait for me there, okay?" I answered and quickly hung up the call.I didn't need to wait for Cassian because I know I'm nothing to him anymore because of the huge damage I've done. The question is, who was the scoundrel who leaked that video footage? I thought about it and suddenly the woman who was ranting earlier came to my mind, did she have something to do with it?Even though I was a lit
After our meeting with Mr. Cheng, Cassian and I went back to his office at the Delaware building.“Thank you. You’ve really proven yourself worthy of being my secretary,” Cassian said.I was surprised to hear him compliment me.“Thank you,” I replied, unable to make eye contact.Cassian’s serious demeanor returned, making me feel a bit awkward. I watched as he walked into his office.Back in my own office, I had a stack of work to catch up on. I sat down, leaned back in my chair, and sighed deeply.Then the phone started ringing – one call after another.I looked up and saw a tall, attractive woman walking towards my office. The glass door allowed me to see everything. She knocked before entering.“Yes, come in, ma’am,” I said.“Thank you,” she replied, pushing the door open. I noticed her eyebrow raise as she glanced at me.“You must be the gold-digger secretary of Mr. Roberto Smith,” she said, with a hint of disgust in her voice. “Now you’re Cassian’s secretary and wife? I can’t bel
"I don't know," I said, responding to Stella's question."By the way, I need to head out soon. I have to be at the other branch. Here, this is for you and Aunt Ezra," she said, handing me a gift."You really didn't have to go through the trouble," I replied, touched by her gesture."I wanted to make sure I gave this to you in person. I thought you might have forgotten about me," Stella said, her voice tinged with a hint of playful annoyance."I'm sorry, you know I'm always busy being my husband's secretary," I explained.She sighed, "How are you doing with your husband?""It's okay. I'll be honest, I had a hard time adjusting to Cassian's unpredictable personality at first.""I'm not surprised. He's known for being grumpy and hot-tempered," Stella said, nodding in agreement."Yes, but thankfully, I've adjusted. After all this time with him, I've actually discovered some good sides of him that others don't know," I shared."That's how it is, you can't really know someone unless you spe
