Jessica’s POV
It was already morning when we got back from the province. The first thing we did was drop George and Scarlett off at George’s condo.
Nick and I were left alone in the car. I decided to turn on my phone, it had been off for almost three days. I just wanted a peaceful and happy vacation without distractions.
But the moment my phone powered on, messages and missed calls flooded in. My hands turned cold and my face lost color when I read the texts from my sister Andrea and my secretary.
“Are you okay, Love?” Nick asked, noticing the change in my expression.
“There’s been an incident at the company… since Friday,” I answered, my voice shaking.
Scarlett’s POVGeorge and I had already taken a shower and gotten some sleep. We stopped by George’s office first because he had something important to sign, and then we headed straight to the hospital. I knocked on the door and opened it for George since he was carrying the things I had brought for Jessica.My eyes widened the moment I saw Nick hugging Andrea tightly. And there was poor Jessica, silently crying beside them. I almost rushed to Andrea out of pure anger.George quickly stepped forward and pulled the two apart.“What’s going on here, Nick?” George asked angrily.“George!!” Nick said excitedly. “I’m so happy to see you. How have you been?” he asked innoc
Jessica’s POVI looked at Nick sadly as I held his hand. I just wanted him to wake up. I wouldn't be okay until I saw him open his eyes. Every now and then, I checked the monitor to make sure his heart rate was steady. The doctor had already said the operation was successful, but I couldn’t help but worry.“Are you going to work later, Jes?” Carly asked. I paused. I knew I needed to be at work, especially with all the problems at the office. But I also knew I couldn’t focus on anything while worrying about Nick.“No, I’ll file a leave. I can’t leave Nick. He needs me. I want to be the first person he sees when he wakes up.”She nodded in understanding.“I’ll he
Dominic’s POVIt was my first time seeing Miss Jessica Laviste up close. Now I understand why Sir fell for her, there’s something special about her beauty and demeanor. She’s not like Sir’s past girlfriends who used to chase him even at the office, causing delays in our work because of their whims. But Miss Jessica has never once visited Sir at work.“Ding!”We quickly turned toward the operating room where the surgery had just ended. I prayed Sir was okay.“Doctor, how is the patient? How is Nick?” Miss Jessica asked nervously the moment the doctor came out.“The operation was successful. Now we just have to wait for him to wake up anytime,” the doctor answered, clearly exhausted.
Jessica’s POV“Don’t worry, Boobae. Maybe Nick just had to stop somewhere,” Scarlett tried to comfort me.“Dominic said Nick left the office a while ago,” George added.“Where could he be, George?” I asked anxiously. We sat down on the couch while waiting for Nick. A few moments later, George received a call.“Hello, Dominic.”“What?” George’s eyes widened in shock. Whatever he was hearing didn’t sound good.“Where is he now?”“Okay, we’re coming.”George looked at me with worry
Jessica’s POVTired and sleepy, I was driving home to my condo. My sister wasn’t there. Her secretary said she was on indefinite leave. I couldn’t help but wonder, why would she take a leave now when the company is facing so many issues?They said Dad had taken over everything, but he’s nowhere to be found. My head hurts just thinking about who I can ask for approval for the proposal I’m working on for our new client. I really hope I can close the deal despite the recent controversies surrounding our company.Sigh! I feel so exhausted. I noticed a call coming in, so I answered.“Love? Are you on your way home?” It was Nick.“Yes, Love, I’m driving home. How about you?”“Can I invi
George’s POVI had my arm around Scarlett as we walked back to the office. I noticed that nearly all my employees were staring at her. I smiled and decided to formally introduce her.“Attention, everyone.” I called out. Everyone stood and turned to me.“I’d like you all to meet my girlfriend, Miss Scarlett Carlson.”“Woooow!! Ayiieee…!” Applause filled the room. Some were even visibly giddy and thrilled.Scarlett was surprised and immediately hid behind me. She whispered,“What are you doing?”“Oh no, Bhabe! Why would you introduce me now? I’m not prep
