ANMELDENEvelynThat stubborn grandson of mine.He has finally discovered that the girl working for him is his wife, and now he wants an audience with me, but something about it just does not add up.The Malcolm I know would never wait for me to return before divorcing her.Or perhaps he simply wants me back so he can rub it in my face that he found out who his wife was all on his own.I was really hoping she would work for him a little longer before he figured it out. At least then, after spending so much time together, he would have fallen in love with her.But I suppose all things must come to an end eventually.After everything I did to bring those two together, from making them share a suite to practically stalking them whenever they went out together.When I saw the pictures from the amusement park and the way my grandson was looking at her, I was so pleased. It felt like all my efforts were finally paying off.Fate was definitely on my side.To be sincere, I did not even know Imogen had
ImogenI immediately turned my face away."Sir, you're too close."As I stepped back, he straightened and muttered under his breath,"I see. I'll have to increase your workload.""Don't you dare," I shot back as we made our way toward the elevator.Anyone listening to him would think he was my husband's spokesperson.Once inside the elevator, I turned to look at him and noticed his expression had hardened again. He stared straight ahead, and for some reason the atmosphere felt heavier than before. I wondered how the meeting had gone because apart from our little discussion earlier, something about him seemed off."I suppose the meeting didn't go as planned?" I asked.He turned his head toward me."Was beginning to think you weren't going to ask."Then he sighed."As always, all they did was annoy me."He rolled his eyes as though replaying the entire meeting in his head."Or maybe you always attend those meetings expecting to be annoyed," I countered.One of his brows rose."You're no
ImogenAaron ended up sitting beside Cyrus, and from what I had gathered so far, the two of them weren't exactly close. Because of that, I decided it would be best to keep my distance from him."And what is Mr. Grayson's personal assistant doing eating lunch at the cafe?" he asked.He seemed unusually interested in my business."Is there a rule that says otherwise?" I asked, keeping my voice calm.He scoffed."Don't mind him, Imogen. Just eat," Cyrus said, and Vivian quickly nodded."Yeah, just ignore him."I did exactly that and returned my attention to my food."I was only asking a question, not something for you to get offended by," Aaron said, trying to justify himself, though there was really no need.I simply continued eating in silence, and everyone else did the same, except for Aaron, who kept looking at me as though he had more to say.Unfortunately, he did."Just because you work closely with Mr. Grayson doesn't mean you should get your hopes up. He changes employees the sam
ImogenIt was a difficult question to answer, and knowing Malcolm, he would want nothing but the truth from me.I swallowed hard.The whole thing was complicated, and since he had never actually mentioned the woman's name, it would be wrong of me to make assumptions. Still, as far as I knew, Ciara was the only female friend he seemed close to."I don't know, sir," I finally admitted.He continued looking at me."So, if you were in my shoes, you would divorce her?" he asked.Honestly, I wasn't sure what to say."If I didn't love her, then yes," I replied.After all, that was the reasonable thing to do. If I suddenly found out I was married to someone I didn't love, I would probably end it immediately."But if you did love her?" he asked, tilting his head slightly.I paused."Then it would depend on whether she felt the same way."That was how marriage was supposed to work, wasn't it?It couldn't be one-sided.Thinking about it now, I felt a little sorry for the man I had married. He ha
LyraI had finally done it.I had slept with my father-in-law, and not just once or twice. It was going to continue for as long as I got everything I wanted out of it."This diamond necklace is worth five hundred thousand. Do you know it's part of the latest collection?" Silvia asked, her eyes widening in shock as she examined it."Your in-laws must be spoiling you rotten. I thought you said your mother-in-law was mean."I scoffed."She is, alright?"If only she knew what I had done with her husband.The thought alone almost made me laugh. I could already picture the look on Jennifer's face when she finds out, and for some reason that image amused me far more than it should have.And so I began to chuckle softly. Silvia narrowed her eyes."I know that look. What have you done this time?"She sounded suspicious, but there was no way I was telling her.She was my friend, but even she would tell me what I was doing was wrong, and I didn't need anyone preaching to me.As far as I was con
Imogen"What? Me? Flirt?" Sebastian suddenly asked as though he had just been accused of a crime, and I frowned slightly."And you, telling someone they are handsome."Malcolm's gaze landed on me, and I blinked while Sebastian immediately took a step away, practically chickening out."I was only complimenting my colleague, sir, and besides, he is indeed handsome."The moment the words left my mouth, Sebastian's hand found my arm."No, Mrs. Evans, I am the ugliest man you have ever come across."I raised a brow at that. Was he really that scared? And more importantly, scared of who?"Only a blind woman wouldn't know you're handsome. Get a grip," I said, giving him a side eye."Thank you for the compliment," he replied with a smile, and I smiled back."It seems," Malcolm's deep voice cut through our conversation, "that both of you have a lot of free time on your hands."Immediately, I understood why Sebastian had been acting so strange."Sir, please don't," Sebastian said quickly, but b
ImogenI took a deep sigh and continued scrolling through the different job listings on my phone until an advert suddenly caught my attention.A salesperson position at a gas station.Honestly, before getting a better job and completely running out of money, I needed to work anywhere respectable en
Malcolm“It has been three days already and none of you have come up with anything useful.”The moment those words left my mouth, I threw the documents across the office angrily, and the papers scattered all over the floor at their feet.Honestly, I never truly realized how incompetent my men were
Imogen My eyes widened in disbelief as I stared at my bags lying outside.Were they seriously throwing me out of the house?So I did not even have the two days left that my father talked about?“But Dad gave me two days to solve this issue,” I said immediately.Silvia scoffed loudly.“Yes, you hav
Imogen“Why aren't you saying anything?”My father's voice cut through the fog in my head. Slowly, I turned to look at him. The expression on my face must have told him everything because the suspicion in his eyes vanished. He finally realized the marriage wasn’t fake after all.Still, one thing ke
