“Speak up Robin, what does that mean? Who is that woman with a child?”
“Dad, let me explain.”“Calm down Gilbert, let Robin speak first.” Said Neva.“Dad, she used to be my secretary in our company. And she was also the one you met back then who was my classmate in college.”“Then?! Why did she come here with another child? Naneth, do you know her?” Mr. Tan asked.Naneth didn’t speak as she held Lira’s child.
“Ah! Dad, Lira, and I have that child.” Robin’s direct answer.“What?! Since when? Why did I only now find out? Have you been hiding it from me for a long time?” Gilbert’s voice rose.“I’m sorry dad, I was just scared because I know how angry you can be. I hope you understand me.” Robin replied.“You know my behavior and why you kept it a secret. Why is Naneth closer, how are she and Naneth? AndFriday…This is the day the symposium for children’s art bidding was held. All the owners and investors in the various companies are also there. Before the bidding began, the artworks were placed on the wall for all who wanted to take part in the bidding to see.Gilbert Tan’s family came first, almost at the same time the family of Ramon Tan, Gilbert’s brother, came. They enjoyed watching the children’s work.“Brother! Are you here too?”“Oh! Aurora, long time no see ah! My brother is busy if Ramon because I remember the last day we met was last month,” said Gilbert.“You told me, brother. Neva, how are you?”“It’s okay Aurora, you haven’t visited the house yet!” Neva replied.“Yes, Neva! Too busy. Let me visit you sometime.” Aurora replied.“All right, I expect that. The children’s artworks are exquisite.”“Y
A few minutes later it was announced that the host would start the most main topic of the event that they would choose the children’s artworks they wanted. And they will increase the value whoever has the highest bid will get the artwork.The host introduced who will talk to a welcome address to all guests before the event.“Alright! First, we, the organizers, would like to thank you for attending this event. It was mentioned in the invitation that the money raised will be given to the children as their scholarships until they finish college. The mission of the leader of this organization is very good. I would like to introduce you to the honorable CEO of Alpha Private Company. None other than Mr. Roel Reyes. Around of applause, please.”Many were surprised to be introduced to the host at that event.Gilbert and Natasha were already there, and feeling shocked.“Bro, isn’t your man before. How did he become CEO now?” Ra
Gilbert approached them. He noticed Neva was nervous.“Neva! What is happening to you? Why are you sweating? It’s cold inside.”“I didn’t know Gilbert suddenly made me feel bad.”“Neva has something to tell you,” Robert said.“What do you mean?” Gilbert asked in astonishment.“Oh! Didn’t she tell you ...” Robert didn’t continue to say when Neva collapsed.Gilbert immediately loaded Neva to take her to the hospital. Robin followed.Robert regrets he didn’t tell Gilbert Neva’s secret right away. But he told himself there were many more opportunities.He called Althea to talk to Mr. Roel. He said goodbye to them.“Thank you, Mr. Reyes, a very good event I enjoyed. It was a pity, and I didn’t get those paintings. Do you know the woman who bought the paintings? ”“Oh no! I don’t know her, Mr. Uy, but maybe she
Naneth woke up and saw that Gio was asleep in the hospital chair. She handed the blanket there to Gio.She noticed Kyla’s hand moving. Kyla woke up.“Friend, are you okay?”“Naneth! I’m fine, what happened?”“We took you to the hospital because you have a high fever. Rest first so you can gather strength.” Said Naneth.“Where’s Dominic?”“He went home first. He was here earlier. Gio sent him home first to rest. I also called your mom. They said they will be rescued tomorrow.”“You shouldn’t have bothered anymore. I’m fine.” Kyla replied.“What are you?! Your body is no longer okay. You still insist that you are okay. Why didn’t you tell me you were feeling something?“I’m sorry Naneth. I don’t want anyone to worry about me. I don’t want you to get involved in my problem.” Kyla said sadly.&
“Oh, what you’re thinking is scary, Abigail. Don’t talk like that. We can talk about that.”“Haist! Whose side are you on to me or that woman?“It’s not like that. I just want to remind you that your plan isn’t right because you can talk to her when she’s still in the conversation.”“I get angry because I grew up without a mother because of her, yes! Mom Natasha is there, but your real mother is different.”“Okay Abigail, I understand what you’re saying but calm down with what you’re planning because it’s not right for you to start right away.” Said Dominic.“Okay, fine, you said so! So, where are you going now?”“Ah! I will go back to the hospital because Kyla is there because she is confined.”“Oh! Do you mean Naneth’s friend?“Yes, she is.”“I seem to have noticed something you thin
A month later, a lot has changed as well.Robert is still teasing Neva that he will return his son to him.One day, Neva met Robert because he threatened to tell Gilbert the truth himself. So she was scared. She knew what she was going to do was dangerous, but she had no choice. She didn’t want Gilbert to know her long-held secret.“Neva! Are you dressed, so where are you going?“Ah! I’m just going to get a massage because my back hurts.”“Ah! Is that so?! I also want to get a massage together because I stress the company.”“Ha! But only women are allowed there! Let’s go together next time.”“Oh! Is that so?! All right, I’ll just take you to where you’re going to get a massage.“Don’t let me drive a car, Gilbert, because I’m going to pass Aurora. I have a purpose for her.”“Okay! All right, that’s what you want!”
“What are you saying, Gio?”“Didn’t you hear what was said? Do I need to repeat it?“Why did I tell you to repeat?”“Hey! Naneth! I just told you.”They were surprised when the door to Gio’s office suddenly opened.“Gio! How are you?!” Althea’s voice trailed off when she saw Gio and Naneth hugging.Naneth stepped back to distance herself from Gio.“Oh! You are here?!”“Yes, because I work here for their company.”“Haha! I mean, why are you here at Gio’s office and still hugging?”“Oh! Is that so? It was accidentally hugging, but there was no malice in that.” Naneth replied.“Okay! You may now leave. I will just tell Gio confidentially.” Althea said proudly.“Althea, I’ll tell you when Naneth will come out,” Gio replied.“It’s okay Gio, I’m going
“It’s good, and you thought of telling me first.”“First, Gilbert, Neva was mine first. Because she was so extravagant and I couldn’t give her what she wanted. She wants to work in a company. You are indeed hiring and you are looking for a secretary. Neva and I have been dating before, but the reason she fell for you is not that she loves you, but because she loves your money. She left me because she was dazzled by the things you gave him. Know if she told you she didn’t have a boyfriend so you wouldn’t be suspicious. Neva is good for manipulating people. To make her believe.” Robert’s story.Gilbert was just quiet, he was just listening to what Robert told him. He did not react.“Do you believe what I told you, Gilbert?”“What else did she lie to me?”“Ask her what else he lied to you.”“I know she won’t tell me the truth, so while we’re still ta
