Ben was surprised to get Janet’s call and then felt she mustn’t be as innocent as they thought.He informed Edwin and Edwin ordered him to call her upstairs.Edwin was curious about what changed in a day that she was desperately waiting for him.Or maybe she wasn’t that innocent. After all, who can resist the temptation of money?When Janet entered Edwin’s room, Edwin was surprised looking at her haggard face.“Why are you looking for me?” Edwin asked while removing his suit jacket and hanging it over his chair.He rolled his sleeves, opened his muscled forearm, and sat on his chair, getting comfortable.“You offered me some money last night,” Janet said while fidgeting with her fingers.She was feeling ashamed, but Edwin was her only hope.“Oh! You want money. How much?” Edwin was disappointed though he had already guessed her motive.He opened his checkbook and wanted to get done with this.Money didn’t matter to him.He could offer her as much as she would want unless she forgot her
After Janet left, Edwin called Ben.“I have transferred one million to her account,” Ben informed and Edwin just hummed.He was busy with his thoughts.“Ben, find out what’s happening with her.” Edwin’s one demand was enough for Ben to get on with his work.He had already guessed Edwin would demand that, so he had arranged everything beforehand.“Miss Brown lives with her mother in a single-parent household. Her mother is hospitalized. So maybe that’s why she needs the money.” Ben informed.Edwin was surprised to hear that.That’s the reason for her haggard look.Edwin was regretful, thinking he had taken advantage of her desperate state.But he was also curious and wanted to keep her close.Offering her the post of his secretary wasn’t a decision of the moment.It was something he wanted to do, and the salary would be of great help.Maybe everything happened for the best!“Draw out a contract. I will email you the details. Make sure she is present here tomorrow. I want her to sign it
It was 7 in the evening and Janet got a call from Ben, as expected.“Miss Brown, a car is waiting outside your apartment. If you are ready to move, please come out.” Ben’s professional tone came from the mobile.“I am ready,” Janet replied curtly and took her luggage to walk out, but looking at the house where she had spent so many years Janet felt emotional.She didn’t have many memories of Robert.When they moved out of Robert’s house, she was only seven.She could only remember the silent crying of her mom, waiting for Robert, anticipating his visit even though it was never pleasant for them.That was another reason Janet hated Robert so much.They have struggled a lot during these years, yet it felt like he owed them every time Robert came here.But Janet could never forget those happy memories, when her mom would make breakfast for her and wait for her, urging her to wake up and get ready for school.Taking care of her tiny demands, making her life happy even though the financial
When the car was one intersection from the Wilson group, Janet wanted to get off.“Mr. Wilson, can I get down here?” Janet requested.Edwin noticed the surroundings and gave a confused look to Janet.“Why do you want to get off here?” Edwin asked, and Janet could helplessly look at Ben.Ben understood Janet’s worry and should have supported Janet to keep these dealings a secret if it wasn’t Edwin sitting in front of him.“I can walk to the Wilson group.” Janet tried again not wanting to explain her reason.“Why would you do that? The car would stop outside the Wilson group so you can get off there.” Edwin said in a dismissing tone and Janet could only keep her mouth shut and compromise with the situation.As decided, Janet got off in front of the Wilson group, earning a few scrutinizing gazes from the surroundings, but she tried to ignore them and walked inside.As Ben had informed her beforehand, Janet went to the HR department where her appointment letter and job responsibilities wer
When they came back after lunch, Janet tried to ignore those toxic people, but their glances and whispers were getting on her nerves.She could not help herself from thinking about how wrong the impression she was giving to those people was.“Miss Brown, here are some files you need to sort out today.” Ben came and placed a stack of files on her desk.“These files are important, so check them carefully,” Ben warned and Janet nodded, though she didn’t know how much she could do.The workload was hectic even though it was her first day and her mind was a jumbled mess.She listlessly opened one file after another, but couldn’t get a single word written on those files.She didn’t even notice when one of her colleagues was passing beside her and intentionally poured a glass of water over her.“Ah!” Janet got up shirking.“Oh, I am sorry Miss brown. I slipped accidentally.” The girl said, making an apologetic look.Janet tried to dry herself using her hand.“It’s fine.” Janet didn’t dwell on
Elisa came out of Ben’s cabin only to walk inside Edwin’s.As usual, Edwin was immersed in his work and didn’t notice Elisa entering.“And here people say you have your eyes on me, so deceitful.” Elisa sighed, making Edwin look at her and frown.Every time she came to the office she made trouble for Edwin.“What rubbish?” Edwin spoke out angrily.“I was not joking, everyone stays away from me thinking I am your sister and you would break their leg even if they come close to me. If only they would know my brother never cared for me.” Elisa said, feigning sadly.“What do you want, Elisa?” Edwin rubbed his forehead and looked at her getting annoyed.“Nothing much, I just want to work in your company.” Elisa jumped up excitedly and walked toward him, leaning closer.“Elisa…” Edwin wanted to deny it, but Elisa didn’t let him.“And I am not asking your permission. Granda had already made arrangements. I am just informing you.” Elisa said giggling and Edwin could only look agape.Though Edwa
“Fairy?” Edwin couldn’t help but ask.“She didn’t say who it was, but today when she came to meet me, she mentioned Miss brown,” Ben remembered what happened in his cabin and said to Edwin.“Janet?” Edwin was surprised.“Yeah, she was saying something like her friend,” Ben said, which made Edwin frown.On the way back home, Elisa offered Janet to drop her at her home as Elisa had her car, but Janet refused, saying someone would pick her up.Elisa didn’t think wrong about it and agreed to leave her behind, but when she was starting her car, she noticed Elisa walking along with Edwin.She has never seen her brother with any girl.So, seeing Janet with him was disturbing.She sneakily followed them and when she noticed Janet was getting in his car, she couldn’t help herself from gasping in the backseat.She was so shocked and hurt in a way.What was this girl doing with Edwin? She didn’t want any gold digger bitch with her brother.Elisa never pried into Edwin’s life, but she wanted to k
Edwin was disturbed hearing Elisa’s words. It was not like Edwin cared much about Janet, but knowing how much his sister was getting close to Janet he was getting worried.This girl was still a mystery to him.What did Elisa see in her in such a short time that she wanted her as her sister-in-law?It’s not about Edwin’s life only, it was also about the Wilson’s group’s reputation.His wife would vouch for the legacy of the Wilson group, and Edwin can’t give this important responsibility to anyone.His mood got spoiled, and he didn’t want to sit here and work, as it would only affect the efficiency of his work.He picked up his phone and called the only person he knew who could make him forget all this drama.“Meet me in the thunder,” Edwin said, and cut the call.Thunder was a well-renowned bar in Sydney, and it only served those customers who could afford a hefty sum for its monthly membership.Few people know its owner, but Edwin had a private room there.This bar was set up when Ed
