After the spa date, Jade texted Arthur to pick her up. She wanted to flaunt him to her friend and make Quinn jealous.It wasn't long after she sent the message that Arthur walked into the spa, looking dashing and madly attractive in his three-piece black suit. Jade smiled when she saw him walking up to her and said to her friends, “We saw each other this morning, yet he insisted he wants to have lunch with me.” She looked at Quinn and curled her hand under her chin. “I don't need to be told. My husband definitely can't do without me."Hailey smiled sweetly, looking at Arthur as he came close. “Indeed he can’t. You are a beauty goddess, Jade. Which man wouldn't want your attention?”Jade smiled broadly. She wiped an invisible sweat from her face with the back of her hand and sighed. “Seriously, it is exhausting. That man goes to any length just to please me.” She arched her brow at Quinn. “I’m sure Quinn here can relate to what I am saying.”Quinn smiled back at Jade and said, “Of cour
Jade dropped the phone from her ear and groaned. She was angry at everything! And the person she was most angry at was Sydney! She wouldn't have been stuck in that position if Sydney had acted pettily by freezing Julian’s account. But no, that bitch had to prove she had power and went ahead to put an obstacle in their way!Gosh, she was frustrated. She gripped the phone, not able to control her anger. The thought of even leaving the restroom to join her friends in the waiting room unsettled her. She shouldn't have come for the spa date in the first place. At least it would have saved her from all the embarrassment she had incurred. She sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. A wrinkle was visible under her eyelids, she brought out her skincare product and smeared some of it along her eyelids. She couldn't afford to look like her problem. Never. She was adjusting the collar of her jacket when one of the doors of the stalls opened and Quinn walked out. Jade froze. Had Quin been
Julian had just arrived at the office. When he sat down, he got busy with work, checking all the sales records and the allocated finances for upcoming projects. Sydney had promised to give him back his position as the CEO if he was able to increase the company’s sales. He was going to endure the sale skyrocketing just to show her how serious he was in winning her back. While reading one of the piles of documents on his desk, his phone started ringing. He looked at the phone vibrating on the desk and thought about ignoring it. He had been receiving a lot of calls lately after the news of his demotion spread throughout the whole country. At that moment, he didn't want to talk about anything to anyone. The phone stopped ringing and he continued reading the documents in his hand. Just when he thought he finally had a moment of silence, the phone rang again causing him to become unconscious of who was calling him relentlessly. He leaned close to his desk and checked the caller. When he s
The next morning, Jade went back to her bedroom to prepare for the day. Arthur had left for work so she didn't meet him in the bedroom. She had her bath and sauntered to her walk-in closet to check for the outfit she was going to wear. After browsing through the closet, she settled for a soft woolen brown skirt and jacket. She looked at the section where a variety of fancy bags were arranged and wondered which bag to pair with her outfit. She groaned as she thought, she wouldn’t be in this position if she had purchased that beige Birkin bag. With a heavy sigh, she picked a nice black clutch and went back to her bedroom. She got dressed and walked out of the bedroom. She went to the dining room and met her daughter seated at the table, eating her breakfast. She joined her in the dining room and waited for the chef to serve her meal. After she was done eating, she kissed her daughter on the cheek and bid her goodbye.Then, her nanny entered the dining room to take her daughter to schoo
26: The Birkin Bag.Jade dropped the phone from her ear and stared at it absent-mindedly. She had thought Julian was going to send the money for the Birkin bag that night. Who would have thought that his account got frozen by his ex-wife?Jade leaned back on the headrest of her bed and scoffed. She had always seen Sydney as a nobody who was only leeching on her brother’s money, but the bitch had had something up her sleeve all the while. Now that her brother no longer wants her, she has decided to get revenge.Jade shook her head and laughed at how Sydney was behaving.Was she a child?Why is it so hard for her to accept that Julian no longer wants her?She needed to pick up her broken pieces and leave her brother alone!Why must she go as far as freezing his account?!Jade gripped her hair. She felt like she was losing her mind, if Julian stopped sending money to her, she didn’t know how she would cope.While she was still deep in thought on how to find the money for the Birkin bag,
Just as Sydney had said, Julian was appointed to the finance department. That morning he had gone to the company very early to pack his stuff from his previous office to his new office. After the news spread through the office that Julian had been denounced by his ex-wife who was also the Steinfeld heiress, many employees started avoiding him like he was a plague. Nobody wanted to be the next target of his vicious ex-wife. After putting everything he owned in a box, he walked toward the desk, looking at a desk plate which had the bold letters ‘CEO Julian' written on it. He picked up the name tag and turned it in his hand. He had taken a huge pride in owning that tag, but now it was nothing but a reminder of what he had lost. He gripped it in his hand and walked back to the box. He took one last look at the tag and dropped it into the box. Then, he picked the box up and made his way out of the office. Two women walking in his direction in the hallway quickly turned and went to the o
