After the meeting with Javier’s mother, Ella finally made her way to the ballroom where the party was being held. Albeit the conversation was pleasant, she felt a little tense the second she stepped inside, knowing that Maria must be here and sooner or later she would have to face her. Taking a deep breath, she approached one of the waiters who carried a tray full of drinks, and took a glass of soda. She let the drink calmed her down as she made her way towards the long serving table full of varied appetizers. She was about to grab a mini sandwich when someone knocked her back from behind.
It did not take a genius to figure out who it was because the next thing she heard from just behind her was “What do you think you are doing here, bitch?”

All morning, she had been troubled by the paparazzi. They camped in front of the building where she lived, and some even went up the fire escape stairs that were mounted to the outside of the building. She could no longer sit on her balcony without getting photographed and bombarded with questions. Honestly, people did not respect others’ privacy sometimes. She had called the building manager and some of the security could shoo those people away from the fire escape stairs but they were still crowding the front door. This had been happening since last week when Javier had proposed to her in front of all of her colleagues, his family, and

That is too much information to be shared in the workplace. Speaking of work, where is Roberto? Did he leave without saying goodbye?” Her boss opened his drawer and pulled out a yellow post it note. “He wrote this and put it on your table.” “And you took it because?” Javier narrowed his eyes infinitesimally. “Because I will personally hand it to you. Anyone else who goes to your office and reads this will begin to have negative thoughts about you. That is the last thing I want.” She took the troublesome post-it note and began to read.

He went straight to the line of display refrigerators at the back of the store and opened the glass door to pick up a carton of milk then headed to the cashier. He was checking his phone while waiting in the line when someone called him from behind. Upon turning, he realized that it was none other than Maria Gonzales, the secretary he had once fired for threatening Ella and causing ruckus surrounding his relationship with Ella. “Well, hello, Javier. How has life been treating you?” Maria tossed her hair to one side and combed it using her free hand while her other hand was carrying her purse. Her nails were long and paint

She had booked the meeting room beforehand and had arranged for everything. From the devices being used during the presentation and discussion to the beverages being served during and after the meeting. Carefully she placed her hand on her belly and rubbed it gently. Even though she had drunk a lot of water, her stomach still felt uneasy. She heard his footsteps and quickly rose to her feet, ready to greet him. “Good afternoon, Sir.” “Miss Stanford,” Javier greeted back as he put the cart of milk and an empty glass next to it.

When Javier called me an hour ago informing me about his encounter with Maria and that you might be the person behind Phoenix Orientem Plc, I did not believe him so I came here just to see it for myself.” Thornton gestured to everyone in the room. “If you all excuse us. Please leave the meeting room as we would delay this meeting for an hour for some family chit chat.” He turned his gaze back to Draven and narrowed his eyes. “Do get acquainted with each other while you wait. After all, we all are going to work together.” When nobody moved a muscle as they were all too engrossed in seeing the interaction between three brothers, Thornton barked his order again. “Out. Now.”

Despite the tension between the three Summers siblings, they could put their emotion in check and discuss things over without any sarcasm nor snide remark. They were all businessmen and they knew that they should not let their personal issue affect the business. It had turned out that Maria Gonzales was the head of interior and landscape design of Phoenix Orientem Plc. After the meeting was concluded and only the marketing team and the public relation team who were still in the meeting room, Javier went outside.

He looked embarrassed that she had to see the interaction between him and his brothers. He knew he should not feel this way but he could not help himself sometimes. Ella gave him a reassuring smile. “I am pretty sure if my family is not just me and my mom, you will have to bear my family’s drama too.

It was far too personal to dine at his hotel and furthermore, it was not worth risking her stable relationship with Javier. The clock had barely reached five in the afternoon when Javier put on his coat and grabbed Ella’s coat from the hanger. “Shall we go for dinner?” He stood next to Ella who was still typing on a fast pace on her keyboard.“Five more minutes,” she replied with a smile although her eyes were still glued on the screen. She had to reply to the back to back email between Summers Entertainment and Pacific Atlantic Production. They had some worries about their joint movie production and Ella
