I blinked. "I'm okay. Thank you."

"May I?" He reached out towards Gemma who was still sobbing on my shoulders.

At first, I felt hesitant, but I decided to trust him and hand her to him. He took her from me and hugged her to his chest.

I wanted to stop him from placing her head on his shoulder because of her runny nose and wet face but he didn't care. He didn't mind.

Gently, he rocked her in his arms and managed to calm her. Then he handed her back to me. "She just needs to sleep."

"Yeah..." I was so impressed by his skills.

Then curiosity pushed me to ask. "Do you know me?"

He arched his thick brow at me. "Excuse me?"

"Oh I mean... Fabian McConnell, I know your name. I did business with McConnell enterprise in London, I never met you but your personal assistant met with me and told me everything I needed to know about the partnership deal. It's you right?"

He squinted his eyes, staring at me and somehow at a distant memory. Then he spoke up, "oh... Blaire Quincy, ho

    He walked back over to our table and sat down, a smile on his face. "I'm sorry about that, would you like to hear about it?" I blinked. "Uhm... Sure." "I've been asked to act in a commercial for the Rolls Royce Phantom but I don't really want that kind of attention. I need your advice, what do you think I should do?" He asked me. I batted my lashes confusedly. "What-- me?" I pointed at myself and he nodded. "You want my advice?" "Yeah. What do you think I should do? I want to decline it but they keep insisting. They gave me total control over the planning and strategizing of how the ad will run. "I get to pick the brand of outfits and accessories to use for the ad and I will also decide how it will go. They said it has to be for some reason, if it's not me then they don't want anyone else." I didn't know what to say, how could I give a man like him advice? "I mean... I guess you could do it for them since they are so insistent. They even gave you veto power so you could consider

  • Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!   Golden Wrist Watch

    Scrolling through my phone, I felt so pleased with the news that was released. It made me more happy than when I opened my flagship store.Ella couldn't bring herself to apologize, her pride was bigger than the size of the earth. So the police had to intervene after all. Which made things worse for her. The restaurant wrote a press release about the issue, declaring that the Dickson family as well as the Sylvan family were banned from ever eating at the restaurant again. News spread faster than wild fire. Then it was also published that they were fined five million dollars for defamation of character and were to issue an apology as well. I didn't need their money but it didn't hurt to take from Ella, after everything she had taken from me. "Are you okay?" Fabian's voice pulled me out of my soliloquy and I dropped my phone on the table. He handed me a glass of water to help calm my nerves while our meal was being prepared. Accepting it with a smile, I let him sit down before I s

  • Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!   The Owner

    The manager bowed his head deeply. "Mr McConnell! You've arrived just in time! This woman over here--" "Is my guest." Fabian cut him off softly. "Yes, your guest, she..." The manager's words trailed off after realizing what Fabian had just said. "Your guest?!" I felt like I could finally breathe properly. A sense of relief washed over me where I stood and I felt like I could finally relax. "Didn't I inform you that a guest of mine would be coming over? What did I tell you to do when she arrives?" Fabian questioned him. "Y--yes sir! But I didn't know-- you told me a guest was coming and that I was to take her to the vvip section." He stuttered, fear plastered on his face. "Did you not know that she was around?" Fabian's voice was cool as he asked but that was what frightened the manager most. It made a chill run down my spine as well. The fact that he was so relaxed after witnessing what he did, normally others would get angry and yell out but he was calm and listened to

  • Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!   Gemma's Collection

    I stood in front of her, not willing to let myself be made into a fool like the last time. "What do you want from me Ella? You have taken everything I once owned, my mother, my husband, everything, what else do you want from me?" "Don't be such a whining baby, she is my mother too and Jacob had never been yours from the start." She gave a dramatic roll of her eyes as she spoke. "What exactly do you want?" I demanded, trying to hold back my anger. "I want to expose you to the whole world so they can see that you really are nothing but a pretender!" She spat out at my face. "A pretender?" I squinted. "Do you think I will really believe that stunt you pulled off the last time? You? The owner of Gemma's Collection, ha! I would rather believe that pigs can fly than believe that stupid lie." I couldn't help but to roll my eyes. "You need to get yourself checked because obviously you are not okay." "What are you doing in a place like this, Blaire?" A distant cold voice spoke u

  • Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!   Guess What?

    CHAPTER 13The driver walked towards me, "Miss Blaire Quincy?" He asked with a slightly arched brow. I couldn't help but to wonder how such a man with good looks was working as a driver but I would be lying if I said I was surprised, knowing how hot Fabian was. I nodded my head in response, still trying to process the image that was before my eyes. Only very few people owned that kind of car in the entire world, the first man to have ever purchased it had kept his identity hidden, apparently it was Fabian! "Let me carry your purse for you while I lead you to the car." He offered, his voice pulling me out of my thoughts. "Oh... Okay." I responded, still in shock. Jessica stood still next to me and only when I tapped her did she blink and look away from the car. "Huh? Oh my goodness! How come?""I feel so damn nervous..." I whispered to her. She took my hands in hers and squeezed them softly, "deep breaths B, everything will be alright." I nodded my head. "Maybe I should have dre

  • Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!   A Rolls Royce

    CHAPTER 12I stood in front of the mirror, checking out my dress and trying to find out if it was good enough. It sounded funny to me, looking in the mirror and trying to decide if I was good enough for a meeting with a man. A man I didn't even know that well! Fabian... How do you have this much power over me? I didn't want to overdo it, but I was afraid I would under do it as well. I had tried on a red sleeveless dress that reached just above my knee but it didn't quite seem to be the one. So I took it off and settled for pants instead, reminding myself not to over do it. I put on a white high waist palazzo pants with a white armless turtle neck and a golden chained belt around my waist to match my golden heels and purse. I made my hair into a tight and near bun with a golden scrunchie holding it in place. At first, I wanted to go for black heels like most people would settle for but I had recently gotten the golden heels and I just had to wear them. Besides, they looked amazi
