★★ Julia brushed away the sweat from her forehead after the strenuous assistance she gave to Joshua in helping him to sleep on the pillow. She gave a second look to the man before getting off the bed as she wanted to drink water to quench her thrust. He was a monster, impossible to move, and his uncontrolled flirting caused her ground to slip. Thankfully, she was sitting on the bed. She pursed her lips and blinked her eyes with a fixed thought. Acting on thought, Julia pulled out some strands of his hair to test whether he was Julius’ father. Joshua made no fuss, it was obvious he felt nothing. Julia smiled at her own deed which was silly yet important and she walked out. When she went downstairs unexpectedly, she noticed the two bodyguards with some food and drinks while they were having a deep conversation, but when they sensed her, they quickly stopped talking and ate their food. “It appears as though I'm a hindrance. Don’t mind me. I am deaf to people always,” Julia said and
★★★ “Stacy, stop crying. Timothy was just exhausted. Haven't you seen his tired face?” Stacy’s mother pacified her newly engaged daughter, who could not stop her tears from coming out since Timothy pushed her away from his path while Stacy wished him to stay a little longer. “Haven't you noticed the changes Timothy had drawn on his face suddenly, as if I was a bag of dust he just blew without care,” Stacy shouted, slumping down on the couch? She could not get over what she had seen in his eyes for her. Especially on the day of their engagement. Nonetheless, his mother either didn't even give her a warm shoulder. “It was because of your silly plan that you haven't cared to involve me. And look, you just banged your own head on the wall while Julia gets herself the name that was almost erased by us,” Stacy's mother said with a comfy voice. Though she was almost on the verge to be exploded, since her daughter was fragile she could not count her fury. “Mom, why don't you kill her dire
★★★ Joshua cast an unpleasant aura before mentioning, “Looks like I’ll have to lock every room in this villa so you won’t even bother to wander around and make bold decisions.” “If doing all this makes you happy, then do it. But I am in no mood to fight with you. Sit down and talk,” Julia said professionally, causing Joshua to raise his eyebrows suspiciously, but he sat down on a seat opposite Julia, doing as he was told. “What is it?” Joshua asked as he leaned his back on the chair. His towel had its job properly and did not cause any blunder. Still, Julia thought he should have put on proper clothes before coming down. “I have written a few clauses that should be included in the contract and foremost I want you to read it,” Julia said while a smile lingered around her lips, accompanied by serenity. “You are very serious about the contract. Impressive,” Joshua said. His eyes halted a brief moment on her face before he looked at her hand that was holding the paper. He took it and
★★Julia and Joshua had breakfast together, after which Julia told Joshua that she had to go out for some shopping and it was a lie, as her destination was to meet the doctor for that DNA test.She met directly with the lab doctor who was recommended by Julia's old family doctor, who had retired, yet a voice from Julia made it possible. Julia was afraid to approach the lab directly. Therefore, it was the only way to achieve this key result.She held her hope high of not getting what she was fearing. In case that mishap happened, Julia's shoulders dropped, and she released a breath because she did not know.Looking down, depressed, she stepped out of the hospital when she bumped into Timothy, who was rushing inside, but when he felt who was the person beside him, his nerves pulled in tension. Immediately, he kiboshes his steps with a thud in his heart and turned his head.Julia, on the other hand, was very aimed in her way. Although some things you could not overlook even if you w
★★ Julia went to the room where conferences usually took place. She knocked on the door twice before going inside. However, she was stunned to see the sight there. The manager was sitting on the main seat where her father used to sit and the manager had a woman on his lap during the meeting. The entire room shifted its gaze to the petite woman standing at the door. The clothes she was wearing had class as they checked head to toe, but was she entering to give an interview? Everyone had their thoughts. Someone thought Julia was another personal toy to the manager. Except for one who recognized who this girl was. The manager pushed the girl off his lap and got up from his seat, but his face was covered with disgust. And he asked, “Who are you?” He pretended not to recognize Julia. Julia could see her appearance drove him up the wall, and it was enjoyable. She stood silent for a brief moment while she let him show her cold eyes that would not fit with the surroundings. The manager tu
★★The manager looked menacingly at Julia, observing her face, which showed determination, but to no avail. He went on to say, “You have earned the right to be in that position, but there is no point in staying there when there is nothing to do.”Julia turned her eyes to the man, broadening her mind to understand the meaning of his words. Though he looked relaxed, which shouldn’t be the case if you knew your job hung by a thin rope. However, he was unperturbed.“Could you explain why I have nothing to do sitting here?” Julia asked, mulling over her beliefs as the manager was still covetous for the seat.“I’m sorry to hear that your stepmother doesn’t value you.” The manager didn’t pass up the opportunity to taunt her as he shoved both hands in his pockets with the rest of the information.“The majority of this company's possessions were sold off and the remaining will be disposed of in the coming days. It is not an office but a ruin. I also believe you don’t know that your momma
★★ Julia got out of the cab and the massive building in front of her eyes gave her a grandeur vibe. The building was black and infused with grey, perfectly going with his taste and the looks; grim and gore. Julia rolled her eyes when she once again gave him a compliment for no reason. She had been allowed to go in by the guards without being asked, and while she could see people were in their lavish cars entering and leaving. Hence, for a moment, she had thought of getting rejected from the gate, but not today. Her eyes wandered as soon as she stepped into the reception area. The silence was heavy around her. She pursed his lips at the thought, did Joshua inform anyone of her arrival? Otherwise, the receptionist simply won't let her in without registration. At that moment, a person jumped right in front of her eyes with a big smile on his face as he chimed, “Thank you very much for stepping into this office. My boss is eagerly waiting for you.” Julia could not help but chuckle as
★★★Joshua was tempted by her flushed skin and misty eyes. He could be such an explicable man he didn’t know until he found himself describing Julia.His hand went to her lips, and his thumb swept over her swollen lips. They were red as blood, sweet as nectar.Julia followed his hand, so her eyes moved from his face to those fingers on her lips. She swallowed the urge of taking his finger in her mouth. Such a ridiculous thought! Julia felt like smacking her head.At the time Joshua said, “Are you waiting for the auspicious time to speak? You didn’t let me touch you. I am not in a jovial mood. Therefore speak, sweetheart.”Julia abruptly shifted her eyes to his face, taking a step back to make the distance. Who knew what sort of thought would come into her brain if she stayed close to him?However, she was not notified to roll. And the outcome was again she was pulled in his arms and reprimanded, “Do not move until you are told!”Saying this, Joshua placed a kiss on her cheek. J
