Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 304. We need to talk
~Tania~I was in shock for a while after leaving Agnes's house.My visit proves only one thing: she has the same type of pendant I saw at Julian's house.I assume that since she has the same pendant and her middle name is Tracy, the necklace was crafted for her, and Julian was the one who gifted it to her.That would mean both of them are either dating or they once dated.It could also mean they’re just friends. But I find myself unable to think in that direction.First thing the next day, I get ready as fast as I can and decide to make a quick stop at the Smith and Agary branch handled by Julian before heading to my company.I meet him at the entrance of Smith and Agary, and the shock on his face is evident."We need to talk," I say as I walk past him into the open elevator.Julian stands at the spot for a moment before rushing in to join me.We arrive at his office floor and step out hurriedly.Out of people's earshot, he turns to me, "What's wrong. Why are you here this early? Is t

I force myself off the couch and hurry over to the door as the doorbell rings for the second time.Earlier, Tania had called, saying she was at The Vespa and wanted to stop by and talk to me urgently.I suggested coming to her, but she wanted to come to me. So, I texted her my address.Since my apartment is fairly close to The Vespa, she arrived in no time.Having allowed her through the security property gate. She’s now at my door.Crossing the living room, I pull open the door and find the ever-gorgeous Tania standing there with a charming smile."Hello there." Her face lights up. "Now, you look amazing."A laugh slips from me. "Thank you so much. You look good, too. I love your hair and outfit. Your jewelry is so lovely." I compliment her and step aside to let her in."Please, come in.""Thank you."She walks inside carrying a small shopping bag. Once she's seated, she immediately hands it over to me."I got this for you at a store downtown. I was shopping for some new jewelry, and
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 302. Aldine
"Yes, I wasn't in support. Because neither of you knew what you wanted. Talking to you that night only proved me right. But now, with your absence, Julian seems lost. I guess the absence was all the brain resetting he needed. He’s now realized that he wants you. Please, talk to him. He still maintains you're the only woman he loves and has promised to talk with Tania Beecroft."I let out a bitter laugh."He wants me. Did he tell you that, or did you just decide to assume that he feels that way? Aldine, what does he really want? Getting another assistant is some piece of cake. It can be sorted out in minutes. So, what does he want? He told you what we had was a mistake, he looked you in the eye the night at your family dinner and said that to you, and now he wants me back, as his what exactly?"The frustration I've been suppressing finally slips out."Aggs, calm down, that’s why I’m suggesting that you speak to him. At least that will give you a clearer picture of what’s going on.""No
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 301. Meeting with the Maclewins
~Agnes~Being away from Smith and Agary for days has proven to be excellent for my skin because my skincare products have worked so well in just over a week as they have in three months.Over the past week, I’ve tried to keep myself busy designing every pending project I have.For the first time in what feels like forever, I wake up a few minutes past eleven.Stretching lazily, I yawn, my thoughts drifting back to my visit to Thomas.Shaking my head, I instinctively begin comparing him to Julian. Then I stop myself immediately.The two men are several yards apart. There is really no need for comparison.Throwing the blanket aside, I climb out of bed and head straight for the bathroom to prepare for my official meeting with Aldine Agary and Luna Gladys Maclewin at Lilycity Packhouse.A quick shower and a midday meal, later, I’m in a taxi heading to Lilycity.Normally, I would drive myself, but I don't feel like sitting upright and focusing on traffic today.I stride out of my apartment
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 300. Nightmares
~Julian~It’s yet another week, and Aggy is still not taking my calls.I’ve tried visiting her home, and haven’t been able to make it past the front gate each time.I’ve reached out to Pius and Aldine, who tell me they haven’t seen her. Aldine said they have a meeting coming up soon, and until then, I have to take a chill pill.When it feels like I’ve exhausted all my options, I finally give up and continue calling and sending endless text messages to her, all of which she keeps ignoring.My day starts with an early morning meeting with a client. The more I try to focus on the meeting, the more Agnes's absence distracts me. I spent far too much time and energy thinking about her that I hardly remembered a thing from the morning's meeting.It's a good thing Mr. Myles was present at the meeting.Even then, I, of all people, know that the lack of concentration I'm exhibiting isn't a very good way to do business.The sheer magnitude of the distraction is so far out of character for me tha
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 299. Dinner with Thomas
~Agnes~The entire drive to Thomas Maclewin’s apartment in Lilycity, I debated turning around and heading back home.A huge part of me wonders if agreeing to this dinner is a mistake. I could have turned it down.But a lot has been going on around me. Leaving Smith and Agary, Jess moving to Pasos and Ursula moving to Greymark.I’ve been lonely and unmotivated to even finish the work I’m doing for Tania Beecroft.Now, seated beside Thomas at the dining table, I watch as he beams at me."I thought you would ghost me at the last minute,” he confesses, and truly, the thought crossed my mind countless times.He passes me a plate containing chicken rolls and a bowl of sauce."Have a taste, Aggy, and tell me what you think about the food.”I nod and dip one of the rolls into the sauce and slowly take a bite."Oh my gosh!" I exclaim. "This is very tasty. You should increase your chef’s salary.”I shove another roll into my mouth and practically moan in satisfaction."This is so good, Thomas."
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 57. What's tonight's plan
~Rhea~Celine Blackwaters voice reaches me where I stand eavesdropping on her conversation with Grandma Regi.“I do not know what else you want from me when the person involved already made his choice.” She tells Grandma.“She is not the right woman for him,” Grandma Regi insists. “Celine, look aro

Philip’s eyes widen questionably at me, and just to be clear, I nod and reply, “Yes, Allister is my Fiancé. Now we have to go. I’ll see you around, Phil.”“Sure,” he lets out, looking like gallons of energy have been sucked out of him.

The street light turns green, but Allister doesn’t move the car right away.“You don’t have to lean on me every time,” he says gently. “Just… don’t lock me out of your life.”His thumb brushes over my knuckles, slowly.“You have me. You’ve always had me.” He hums reassuringly.His words are simple

“Officer,” Allister cuts in. “Miss White is my client. And if you want this issue thrashed out in court, then it’s fine. You already know we go all out for anyone under my law firm.”The police officer starts to stutter, making incoherent sentences.“Officer Dean, is it?” I ask, calling out the nam
