For a while, Conall kept his gaze fixated on the suit that was kept on the settee. It was the one that he wore in yesterday's party, strangely the woman he met in the party was stuck in his mind. Though the news was taken down, he still remembered her face clearly.No human being ever showed him such disrespect like Irene did."President, there is a bad news." Owen sucked in a breath as he entered the CEO's office with a worried look on his face all of a sudden.Conall cleared his throat, walking towards the settee casually, "What happened?""You need to go to the City Hospital right now. Old lady Zoe...""What happened to her?" Conall's facial reaction changed as soon as he heard Owen. Though Conall didn't show he cared much but the truth was, he cared about Zoe. Seated in the car Conall was too focused on his tab, he couldn't wait to reach the hospital. In the Hudson family, Conall had only his grandmother who loved him though he had uncle and aunt and also his cousin but they all
"Roma, why didn't you call me sooner? How is Ella now? Is she ok? Did you call the police?" Worried sick, Irene was running in a hurry while talking to Roma on the call.Roma from the other side of the call assured her, "I'm sorry, Miss Miller. I was scared back then, I was looking for the Miss so I didn't call. Miss is fine now, she is sitting next to me. Should I give her the phone?""Yeah.""Mommy.""My love, how are you now? Are you really fine? Or how about we go to the hospital?" Irene asked, concerned. Irene came to give an interview in HUDS GLOSSIO INC. this morning but as soon as she got a message from Roma about Ellaine, she left in a rush."Yes, Mommy. I'm fine now. I'm sorry, it was my fault that I went after the butterfly. Please don't be mad at Roma." Ellaine voiced in a low tone of voice."I am not mad at her, my child. As long as you are fine, I'm all ok."Last night Irene decided to work in HUDS GLOSSIO INC. and thankfully , they had a position she was looking for. W
"Owen, where's the CEO right now? He is not even picking up my calls. How long is he going to ignore his grandmother?" Zoe frustratedly asked so from the other side of the call. Since Conall cut the call, Zoe tried talking to him but nothing worked."Granny, I'm not in the office. So I don't know where boss is." Owen voiced."Huh? If you are not with him then ..."Owen smirked as he looked at the phone screen, as if he was proud of his actions earlier. Though he knew what was waiting for him."Grandma, I have set a bomb for your grandson. So, please don't worry. My boss will definitely be alright.""Huh? What bomb?" Zoe was awestruck as to what he was talking about. "Yes, she is someone who dares to talk back to your grandson. Not only that, as far as I understood, Boss won't be able to suppress her. She is different from other women I've seen so far. I guess she is the perfect bomb for my boss. Haha." Thinking about how Irene would be a tough competitor for Conall, he couldn't stop
Keeping her hands over her lips, she held onto her breath. As far as she remembered, Owen told her not to get too close to Conall. Since Luxury already gave her some information about his haphephobia, Irene knew about it but she never thought her mind would go on an 'deaf mode'.Opening his eyes Conall looked around, scanning the room with a stern face. As he found nothing suspicious, settling his back on the sofa he ran his fingers through his jet black hair."Why do I feel like something heavy just fell on me and it was hard to breathe?" Conall muttered, resting his head against the headrest.'Is he calling me heavy? What the...'Annoyed, she looked up a little and the moment she saw he was getting up, she almost had a face planted on the floor.'Damn it! If he stands up right now and sees me, what would I do?' she bit her lips, hoping he wouldn't see her.Ring!"What's wrong?" Hearing him talking to someone on the call, Irene peeped at him from behind the sofa.Watching him walk to
"What did you say?" Pausing on his track, Conall glared at her murderously.Irene suddenly flinched as his voice scared her a little and that deadly look he was giving her was more than scary. Keeping her fists clenched she bit her lips nervously.'That's not what I wanted to say.' Irene felt guilty. She wanted to tone her voice a bit down but..."Say that again!"Taking a deep breath, Irene stared right into his eyes this time and she voiced so clearly, "I'm not complaining, Mr. Hudson. But I had to go to the office to get my report back then I had to wait in line for half an hour so I could buy breakfast for you. Do you know there are so many people who can't even buy it even if they want to..." Irene found it difficult to talk, she felt her past became so vivid before her eyes. There were days when she was so hungry yet she had no money with her, her brother was in the hospital and she was bullied by her so-called classmates, even her family didn't care. So she starved herself that
Nearly a month has passed in the blink of an eye, forget about her mission Irene could barely take sometime off. She was so busy with the loads of work that she didn't get to spend much time with him. And when she got a little time, it became rather... a 'second-hand embarrassment'.Remembering about those incidents and especially how he behaved when she indeed tried to seduce him, Irene felt like jumping in the river.° Flashback °Only ten minutes left till the meeting, Irene had so many files on her hand that she could barely keep walking on the right way. It was all those selfish employees' faults, instead of taking care of their works by themselves they just handed her all the files to carry into the meeting room. As she saw Conall to walk ahead of her, she quickened her pace. 'It's the perfect time to do it.' Irene thought he would help her but..."You have only five minutes till the meeting starts, if you are late I'll fire you." Hearing his boss talking nonchalantly as she lo
"Please, someone... Open the door. Please..." Drenched out of her energy, her voice was barely above a whisper.With little force she whacked on the door, and the sound of it came back to her at triple speed. Unable to keep her consciousness anymore, her feet trembled and she could feel her body temperature rising like a rocket.Losing balance as she sat on the ground, she muttered, 'I got screamed at by my boss then I forgot to take my phone with me and now, someone threw water on me and I'm stuck in here. How miserable! Will anyone come to save me? I haven't met my babies for nearly a week, I miss them so much...' and she could no longer hit the door as her eyes were closing..."Miss Miller? Miss Miller." Suddenly an oddly familiar voice called out her name, she couldn't differentiate between the voice she expected to hear somewhere in her head and the voice who spoke just now. Irene fainted when a tall figure shut opened the door with a loud bang. "Miss Miller?" All she could see
As the door opened, she was taken aback. In utter disbelief she kept staring at the tall figure who appeared in the room. With a wide open mouth and confusion written on her face, she uttered, "You?"Conall with an unconcerned face as always walked towards the bed casually. Putting down the fruit basket on the table he settled on the couch. As he noticed how she had been looking at him, he asked her, "Am I not allowed here?""Ahh, no no not that. I just... Why are you here?" Startled, she looked down."How are you feeling now? I heard you had a fever." "I'm feeling better now. Thanks for your concern." She replied with a small smile. Irene still couldn't believe that he was here in person."I was going to say this after work but..."Seeing how he looked all cold again, she assumed she knew what he was going to announce. Irene grabbed the sheet in her fists and looked down."Ahh that... So you are here to say it in person.""Since it's big news and you are sick..." Irene bit her lip
