When they reached the mansion, Madam Eveleyn was already waiting on the porch. A sweet smile formed on her face as she ordered Albert to help Kiel carry those baskets.It was about to rain, and luckily it didn’t get into them. Devyn approached her mother for a hug and then told her to get inside. Seeing Kiel, the woman was smiling ear to ear. “How are you, Kiel?” Madam Evelyn gave the guy a hug. “Is my daughter giving you a hard time?” she teased.“No madam,” he replied when they parted. “The President is diligent as always.”Madam Evelyn married her eyes and raised one brow. “You’re not trying to sugarcoat it, right?” From the back garden, another woman came in. “What do we have here?” Veronica’s voice gets all of their attention. “I see Kiel,” she grinned with hatred next to Madam Evelyn.The two women laughed at each other, reminiscing these two childhood memories that they imprinted in their thoughts.“Time really does fly fast,” Veronica whispered to the Madam, who nodded in a
After minutes of waiting, she finally saw the silhouette of the man familiar to her. She sighed and stayed beside the road while the traffic enforcers were guiding the other cars that got between the minor accidents. “I’m very sorry! I will pay for everything!” the old man, who was a taxi driver that accidentally bumped into Devyn's car, bowed and apologized to her. Seeing how expensive that red car was, he didn't know what to do but apologized.He was just a poor taxi driver, and the car wasn’t even his in the first place. He had a family to feed and a sick daughter. “Please give me a chance! I don’t want to quit this job, Maam!” He pleaded again because he knew that rich people like them will never turn an eye to him and will sue them immediately.Another man approached them. He stood next to the lady and asked. “What happened here, Miss Lowell?” Devyn replied to him. “Just a small accident. Get his name and the contact number.” Kiel looked at the old man who’s still bowing his
SATURDAYKiel woke up early today for morning exercise. Jogging from the apartment complex to the nearest park there. When he arrived, the sun was already peeking its rays to welcome the morning. He sat on the empty bench there and drank his water. He used to go to gyms every weekend, but now that he has become busier, he chooses to jog and exercising at home instead. He gulped half of the bottle and wiped the side of his lips.The sweet taste from that flavored healthy water reminds him of something. It’s like his first kiss. That first kiss he wanted to give to someone who he really liked. The horizon that was dim earlier slowly started to light up, welcoming the morning. That red and orange combination of the sky reflected in his pupils, showing a new day with new hope.The people there were also amazed by the sunrise. Everybody halted and watched that beautiful phenomenon. After minutes of admiring the sun, Kiel picked up his bottle and started to walk. He has this cafe, he’s a
The elevator opened, and she immediately took the lift. However, when her heels stepped in, the tension switched in her front which made her stumble upon someone, who happened to be inside the elevator too.“Mr. Kiel?” Anna widened her eyes as she looked up with the boxes between them. Kiel took the box from her and supported her to stand straight. “What are these boxes for, Miss Anna?” he asked.“Oh, thank you. It was the things that’s needed on the third floor. The manager called me to submit it.” She tucked her hair in ears.Feeling how heavy it was for the lady, he looked at her and asked. “Where’s Mr Mo? He should have carried this for you. This is quite heavy.”The lady chuckled. “The truth is, I’m the only one that's left in the office when the third floor called. So I happened to know about it. I don’t want to give it to anyone since I’m used to carrying documents too.” She replied. “I see, let me help you then.” Kiel checked his wristwatch. 30 minutes have already passed, a
“Good morning, Mr Kiel.”As usual, the employees in the lobby greeted him. He nodded before entering the elevator. Today he is going to meet the new team manager of the production department. He had a little interview with him.Of course, to make sure that the incident will never be repeated again, he wanted to see him for himself. The employee in the production team almost gasped upon seeing him. It is very rare for the guy to come here, and everyone wanted to see his face after what happened. They were, of course, feeling very overjoyed to finally get Mr Jin down in his place.“Mr Arnoux! Nice to see you here!” It was Ivan. One of the most energetic new recruits there. They often called him sunshine because of his goofy vibes.“Nice to see you again, Ivan. How’s work?” Kiel asked, leaning on the cubicle to check if he’s indeed working or playing chess online.“Mr Arnoux, you don’t need to check me. I’m working hard here.” Ivan pouted, pointing at his monitor. The other chuckled be
“Put him in the sales department.”Devyn replied after hearing the ruckus that happened a while ago. She knew that the sales department was harder.“He should know his place. How come he became a team manager without knowing the new rules?” she continued typing. “She needed a punishment.”“I will do that right away.” Kiel didn’t talk any further since the lady was quite busy finishing something. “Do you want a coffee?” Devyn nodded. “Yes please. Thank you.”Kiel left right away. He already has the petition of putting Mr Jin in the sales department. The work there is much harder than the production team. It’s where you are assigned to visit a client’s home and pursue them to buy a product. Devyn was right. Mr Jin needed to appreciate other people’s hard work and efforts. He’s still lucky because the lady put him in that section. If it were some other company president, he would surely lose his job right on the spot. Kiel delivered the coffee and went back to the media department. As
“What is the meaning of this?! Didn’t I tell you all to redo and use the old method!”The raging voice of the production team’s manager echoed inside the office early in the morning. He was clenching the folders hard in his hands with his eyebrows frowning so deeply. “Who did this report?!” He slammed the documents on the nearest table there. Everyone in the media department flinched. This always happens though.The team manager of the production department was always like this. He likes to act high and prideful when it comes to his employees. He even has some issues of taking others’ credits and threatening to fire them.No one wanted to step for themselves when it’s Mr Jin. This middle-aged man has a superiority complex. He always wanted everyone to follow him and blamed them for the mistakes alone. “Who did this?! Are you all deaf?!” he screamed, enjoying the gloomy aura around him. Seeing those in lower departments cower for him was the best sight. Mr Jin raked his hair and pin
When Devyn arrived at home, her expression immediately sank upon seeing that tall and semi-bulky man who grew more inches taller than her.That childish handsome smile hit her which made her roll her eyes. Her brother, who she described as a big human teddy bear, helped her carry the bags of groceries. He carried everything between his arms. As expected, he surely spent more time in the gym, seeing those fitted chest and muscles.“I’m home,” She mumbled after taking off her shoes and changing to her cotton slippers.Madam Evelyn dashed from the kitchen to welcome her and gave her a kiss on the cheeks. “How’s the night? Do you want some juice? I prepared some.” she asked.Devyn returned the kiss. “Thanks, mom. I’m going to change first and come down.”At this moment, Dylan showed up, grinning. “Are you not going to greet your brother, Miss Lowell?” his husky melodious voice resonated in the living room. “Do you even remember that I’m your older brother?” Devyn glared at him. “Stop fo
“I would like to advise you not to do it very often.” Doctor Casler adjusted her glasses and looked straight in Devyn’s eyes. “Do you understand me? Don’t you dare ignore my reminder, Miss Lowell.”Devyn shrugged at her. “I know. I know. Geez!” she snorted, rolling her eyes.The woman on her desk cleared her throat. “I know that the results turned out positive. It means that both of you are compatible. But this is not a gateway to keep Mr Arnoux in your hands, do you understand?” She knew the cunning side of the young lady and keeping her close to the guy because of this will cause a small problem. She knew Devyn’s way so much that she needed to warn her a couple of times. She cleared her throat. “Don’t forget to take those medicines I prescribed you. You need to take it. We both know that Mr Arnoux is not just a recessive alpha. If you take him without any help from that, it will still cause you harm.”“Fine. I understand it all, doctor.” Devyn crossed her arms. “How many times wi
