"Here..."

Eman, Armando's assistant, looked puzzled as Francesca abruptly handed him her luxurious shoulder bag. She had carelessly shoved it into his chest. They are now walking together as he escorted her to the meeting room.

"Hey, be careful with that," Francesca said. "It's a limited edition from Pr*da, and it's worth millions in your currency. If you damage it, your salary for ten years won't even come close to covering the cost."

As soon as Eman heard the woman's words, he felt a mix of anxiety and annoyance. He had been working for the company for a long time, but this was the first time someone had treated him like this. Even the business partners of his boss were respectful to him, despite him being just a lowly assistant. So, he couldn't help but wonder where this rude and arrogant young woman came from, especially since she was just the daughter of one of the company's foreign investors. It seemed like she wasn't taught good manners by her parents, and Eman couldn't

    "What's wrong with you, do you want to kill us?!" Nigel's aunt shouted angrily."What did you just say? Where were you planning to go?" Nigel asked.When the aunt's companion saw Nigel's disposition, she knew he was unhappy with what he heard, so she spoke up instead."W-we're going to her friend's place..... Aunt had already arranged for us to stay with someone before we left." The truth is she was intimidated by Nigel because his demeanor was really frightening."No! We're not going to Merly anymore, why should I stay with someone else house when I have a relative here?" The aunt then turned to Nigel and ordered him in a commanding tone. "Take us to your place instead.""No!" Nigel replied firmly.The young woman felt a little nervous. "A-aunt...." She shook her head at the older woman, but:"What no? Why don't you want us to stay at your place? Is it because we're from the countryside? do you look down on us?" "Aunt... That's enough," The young woman intervened. The older woman

    As soon as they entered the suite Nigel booked for them, they were amazed. The VIP suite was huge and luxurious, with two bedrooms and a spacious living room. "Wow, this room is massive! And look, the bed is so soft!" "That's right, aunt. It's crazy how rich your sister's husband is. I'm so jealous." Lyka said while checking out the amenities in the room. Rina suddenly fell silent. Earlier, she had a smug look on her face, but now it seemed like she was consumed by envy. She couldn't help but compare her simple life in the countryside to her sister's luxurious life in the city. 'Why hasn't something like this happened to me? Is it because Rebecca is prettier than me?' She clenched her fists in frustration, gripping the bedsheet tightly.Rina's reverie was interrupted by a sudden knock. When Lyka opened the door, a hotel staff member stood before them. "Good afternoon, ma'am, just checking in. Are you getting hungry or do you need anything?"Rina approached the staff member in curi

    Nigel's face darkened. "Aunt, I didn't ask for your opinion, and who do you think you are to question my decisions?" "You..." Rina was taken aback by her nephew's response. "I'm your aunt!""You may be my aunt, but our relationship only goes as far as blood ties. You've never contributed anything to our lives, so learn your place. If not, you might just find yourself going back early." "Nigel..." Nathalie intervened, worried that things might escalate further between him and his aunt. She spoke softly. "She's your aunt, you shouldn't speak to her like that."Nigel sneered. "Heh, aunt? I've had enough of this woman. If only you knew her true nature.""Are you threatening me, huh, Nigel?" Rina asked loudly. At that moment, she was being held back by Lyka, who had pulled her away earlier because she seemed to want to charge at Nigel. "And what are you saying that I haven't contributed anything to you and your mother?... Pfft!" She pretended to spat to the side. "You ungrateful little

    When Rebecca got home from work, she found Nigel crying while her brother in-law tried to calm him down. Rina was nowhere to be found since she was out to play mahjong. Rebecca was shocked to see that Nigel, who was almost two years old, had a gauze on his forehead. When she asked what had happened, Rina's husband explained:"While Rina was engrossed in playing mahjong at their house, Nigel woke up and immediately cried when he found himself alone in the room. One of Rina's mahjong buddies mentioned that her child was awake, but Rina simply replied that the crying child wasn't hers. She called out to her husband, but he wasn't around because he had gone out to buy something.Nigel's crying persisted since no one was attending to him, until Rina and her friends heard a loud thud from the room, followed by Nigel's intense wailing. Rina decided to take a peek at her nephew, annoyed.But when she stormed into the room, she was shocked to see that Nigel had wound on his forehead and was b

    When Rebecca told her son about his sister's apology, Nigel just shrugged it off. But when she mentioned that Rina would be attending his birthday party, he scowled. "No!" Rebecca frowned. "Nigel, can't you just forgive your Aunt Rina? Give her a chance to make things right, she really regrets everything she's done.""Regrets? Do you think she can just have regrets like that? If she wants me to believe her, she should go back to the countryside." "Nigel!" Rebecca's forehead was furrowed. "Is your anger towards her really that great? She's your aunt and your own flesh and blood. Why are you so stubborn? She's just asking for a chance." "What chance? A chance to pester us again?""Okay...." Rebecca sighed, looking stressed. She rubbed her forehead. "I won't argue with you anymore...... Sorry son, but whether you like it or not, I'll invite her. All I want is for you two to talk and make amends." "You're the one who's in charge, Mom. But I hope you won't regret your decision."....

    Nathalie didn't see that coming from Nigel, she found herself glancing around at the people teasing them, egging her on to respond. Her eyes then landed on her parents. Her mom, Lucille, gave her a reassuring smile and a nod, as if to say, 'The decision is yours.'Nathalie couldn't help but think of all the times Nigel had helped her and her family, and how patient he had been with her. She didn't want to respond to him just out of gratitude, so she took a moment to search her heart. She leaned forward slightly, her hand on her chest. In those few moments, she confirmed to herself what she truly felt, and so..."Nigel..." She called out to the man standing before her, who had been waiting for her response. Though he didn't show it, he was clearly anxious. His embarrassment was the least of his concern, but that she might not give him another chance. "I'm grateful for all the help you've given my family, but I don't want that to be the reason I give you what you're asking for–""Nathal

They actually prefer this setup, where it's like they're starting all over again, getting to know each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. Travelling together or wherever they decide to go is also part of their plans."Wow, you two seem like you're on your honeymoon already! Where do you plan on making our future grandkids?" Lucille asked when Nigel and Nathalie told them about their vacation plans. "M-mom!" Nathalie exclaimed, her face quickly turning red from her mother's teasing. Lucille and Rebecca burst out laughing, while Armando just listened quietly as he sipped his coffee. "Just kidding, why are you blushing so quickly?" ."Um.... I-it's just..."Nigel gently rubbed Nathalie's back to calm her down, although he couldn't help but feel a thrilled. "Alright Aunt, Nathalie might change her mind and we won't

    "Hi Nigel, good afternoon," Elaine greeted as she entered Nigel's office. Nigel just glanced at her and continued working. "Don't you have anything to say to me?" Elaine asked, walking closer to the desk. "What should I say to you?" Nigel replied without looking up. "I left yesterday without telling you, I thought you might be looking for me." "No, I wasn't. Actually, it's fine with me even if you don't show up at all."Elaine wasn't angered with his response, she walked around to his back and hugged him.Nigel froze. His expression darkening, and for a moment, he had an urge to kick her out of the office. However, he clenched his fist and restrained himself. He couldn't afford to act out yet, not until he got what he needed from her."Don't be like that, Nigel. If I don't show up anymore, our deal will be over. How will you get Nathalie's heart then?" she whispered in his ear, her voice almost seductive, but it only seemed to annoy him further. "You're not going to give up on

    Nigel's body stiffened as he looked down at the ring on his table. When he picked it up, a pang hit his chest. He clenched his fist around the ring. "Nat, you're breaking off your engagement to me? Why?""Why? Are you really clueless? I think I don't need to answer that. You know exactly why, don't you, Nigel? I'm not going to let you make a fool of me again like you did before. Don't even think I'll still marry you knowing you're cheating on me again.""Cheating on you?" Nigel took a deep breath. "Is this about Elaine?"Nathalie didn't respond, but her face darkened while tears welled up in her eyes. She struggled to hold them back. "Since Elaine is the one you really love, why'd you make me believe your lies? You even pretended to be angry with her, but it truned out..."Nigel looked troubled by Nathalie's accusations. "Nathalie, no... it's not like that." He pulled his hair in frustration. "Just trust me, okay? Everything I'm doing is for a reason, and it's all for you. I just ca

    "Goodness gracious!" an older woman exclaimed as Nathalie, who was rushing bumped into her. Nathalie covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. The woman watched as she leaned against the wall, wondering about her heart monitor watch beeping away. Realizing something was wrong, she approached her. "Miss, are you okay?" But before she could reach her, Nathalie took off.Nathalie walked away, trying to calm herself down. With a mix of sadness and anger swirling inside her, she refused to give in this time. She pressed her lips together, rubbing her chest soothingly. 'That's enough, calm down...' But her heart monitor watch continued to beep, filling her with worry. Unlike when she had an attack at Nigel's company, where she felt secure with Andy's help, now she felt uneasy being in an unfamiliar place with no one she knew.As her grip on the wall slipped, she was about to fall when a hand suddenly grasped her arm. "N-Nathalie?!" a man who had just arrived exclaimed. When Nath

    Elaine tossed the medicine bottle aside when she realized it was empty. Her head was throbbing and aching as she made a call to the pharmacy to deliver the medication she needed. She had planned to follow Nigel to the hospital where Nathalie was, but not to comfort her, but to mock and ridicule her instead. However, karma seemed to have caught up with her as her migraine suddenly flared up, forcing her to rush back to her hotel.When the medication delivery arrived, she immediately took it. Once her migraine subsided, she grabbed a glass of red wine and sat down on the chaise lounge. She then called Nigel, but he didn't answer. She gulped all the wine in the glass and headed to visit him at his office instead."Ma'am, we're here," the taxi driver said to Nathalie. After being discharged from the hospital, she had taken a taxi home, despite Andy's offer to drive her. She had declined because she wanted to be alone; she also hadn't told her family what had happened.Upon reaching thei

    "You're really quiet today, don't you have anything to say? You didn't even greet me or ask if I've had breakfast," Elaine said to Nigel, who was driving. Nigel didn't respond, like he hadn't heard her. If only Elaine knew how much he wanted to kick her out of the car, but he knew he had to play nice. "Where should I drop you off?" "You want to get rid of me already, huh?" Elaine moved closer and unexpectedly hugged Nigel. She almost jerked forward when Nigel suddenly slammed on the brakes.Nigel pulled over for a moment. "What the...?! Can't you see I'm driving?!" he snapped. Elaine fell silent, pouting like a scolded child. "Sorry, Nigel... why are you being so grumpy with me? I remember you never used to raise your voice at me before, you were always so gentle when we talked. But now, just a little mistake and you're already yelling?"Nigel continued driving. "Are you still holding on to the hope that we'll go back to the way we are before? Don't day dream. Don't you still get

    Elaine happily chooses her outfit for the day. She chooses to wear her expensive branded dress, paired with heavy makeup, as if she's going on a date. She likely forgot what the meeting is all about.Her hips sway as she heads to the VIP suite she booked. She asks the person she's going to meet to wait there. Before entering, she takes out her expensive perfume from her pouch and gives herself a quick spritz.When she opened the door, she saw a man standing by the window. She knitted her brows when he didn't give her even a single glance, acting as if she wasn't there. "Nigel," she called out loudly to get his attention.When Nigel faced her, she swayed her hips as she approached him. When she wrapped her arms around his neck, he was about to push her away when she warned him, "If you stop me, I won't cooperate with you."Nigel froze. He just endured the discomfort he felt. As the woman was almost hugging him, he asked, "Where's Nathalie's heart? Is it still at the hospital?" "I do

    When Nathalie woke up, she jolted upright, disoriented. The events from earlier immediately flooded back to her. She had been heading to the restroom at a gas station when someone suddenly attacked her from behind. They grabbed her and dragged her somewhere, while one of them made her inhale something from a handkerchief, making her pass out.When she looked around, she realized she was in an abandoned place. Fear enveloped her as she wrapped her arms around herself. A question formed in her mind: was this a kidnapping for ransom? Thinking that might be the reason, her fear slightly diminished. If that was the case, they would definitely ask ransom money. As long as the kidnappers didn't think of doing anything inappropriate to her, she will be fine.She jolted as the creaky, rusty door swung open. Two men, both wearing hoods and face masks entered. "Oh, she's awake. Maybe we can start now and get this job done?" One of the men asked.Nathalie's fear returned. What did the man mean?

    Nigel suddenly grabbed Elaine's neck. "Do you really want me to be a criminal, Elaine? Do you really want me to be forced to kill someone?" Elaine struggled and angrily broke free from his grip. "Can't you just accept me, Nigel? Why is it so hard for you to do what I'm asking? Didn't you love me once–" "Yes, but I was blind back then!" Nigel snapped, silencing Elaine. "I made a mistake! I chose the wrong person. If you hadn't lied to me and pretended to save me from the fire, do you think I would've even noticed you?" Elaine froze, feeling like she'd been slapped as she was reminded of her deception and lies."Actually, it's also my fault for being deceived. I didn't even think you were fake. You know, you're one of the mistakes in my life. I wish I never met you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have hurt the person I love." "Enough!" Elaine interrupted, somewhat hurt by his words. "You don't truly love Nathalie, it's me..." She pointed to herself. "I'm the one you truly love, N

    When Elaine finally unleashed her pent-up frustrations, she suddenly realized that she became the center of attention. She fished out some money from her clutch bag and slapped it on the counter, then she walked out without looking back. She leaned against a wall, feeling the effects of the alcohol kicking in, and now she felt dizzy.She grabbed her cellphone and dialed Nigel's number. She tried ten times, but it kept going straight to voicemail. "Why can't I reach him? Did he block me, or did he change his number?"Then she called someone abroad. "Hello, dear? I just want to confirm if I'll be okay if I expose myself - won't I be throw in jail?"The man on the other end replied, "You're good, they can't touch you. Besides, isn't your boyfriend some big-shot international lawyer?"Elaine felt a wave of relief. "Really? Thanks, dear. I feel so much better now.""No worries, babe. Anything for you.""Alright, see you." Elaine replied."Bye, I love you.""I love you too."When the call
