Time flew by quicker than Chester expected. However, when Friday morning arrived, he had a bright smile on his face the moment he saw Carmen approaching his desk.“Good morning, boss.” Chester brightly said.“You looked bubbly this morning,” Carmen replied as she walked past him.Chester’s eyes then lit up when he noticed that his boss slightly smiled at him before walking away, and that had his heart racing.He then jumped up to his feet and followed Carmen into her office.‘She finally warmed up to me. Yes! Yes!’ Chester excitedly thought as he waited for his boss to acknowledge his presence.Carmen then looked away from her phone and stared at Chester, and in that instant, she immediately felt lost of words when she noticed him giggling to himself.“What are you happily smiling about?” Carmen asked. “Uh?” Chester absentmindedly mumbled.“Is

Liam could see hate in Carmen's eyes as she stared at him, and yet he could also see the deep pain she tried to hide behind her cold expression.“Mrs. Smith, I don't understand your statement,” Levi said with a stiff smile on his face.“What part of ‘you are fire’ don't you understand?” Carmen hastily asked.“But… But this is my company.”“The last time I check, I hold the majority shares in this company, and I find you incompetent for the position that you hold, so you have to leave.” Levi gazed at the others. However, no one spoke on his behalf, and for a while, the conference room was silent. Then he intensely gazed at Scott Johnson.“Even though you hold a majority of the shares in the company, don't you think it is disrespectful to fire the chairman of the company without the other board members' involvement.” Scott abruptly and aggressively intoned with a bit of fear in his eyes.“Mr. Johnson, that's some bold attitude you have t

Footsteps of ten security guards boots echoed in the lobby as they raced towards Carmen.“Yes, Boss.” The head of the guard shouted.Then he paused and waited on Carmen’s command.“Please escort Mrs. Davis and her son out of the building.” Carmen coldly stated.“Liam was wrong! But it's also that witch's fault. Please, don't punish him anymore. What you are doing is tearing my family apart!” Lina cried.“Mom! Stop it!” Liam roared with rage burning in his eyes.The building got absolutely quiet, and in the midst of the silence, Carmen’s eyes were directly focused on Liam as she struggled to understand his anger and the source of it.For a brief moment, Carmen could see vulnerability in his gaze, and at this point, she almost felt pity towards him. Then the image of Ali hugging onto Liam's body flashed across her mind, and that's all it took to get her heart cold.“Mr. Davis please leave with your mother. This is a place of work, not a

After reviewing the file that Hunter sent her, Carmen took in a deep breath before leaning back in her seat. Then she clicked on her mouse and switched her computer off.When the screen became dark, Carmen could see her reflection staring back at her, and at that moment, the tears that she had been resisting came trailing down her cheeks.But after a second passed, Carmen angrily wiped her tears, then her expression became numb again as she stared back at her reflection.“He could have told me it all! He could have been open with me! He could have let me help him! But he chose not to. So none of this concerns me.” Carmen frustratingly mumbled.With so much running through her head, she leaned back in her seat and gazed directly at the ceiling before slowly shutting her eyes.Carmen didn't know how long she had been napping for, but when she opened her eyelids, Chester was staring at her with concern in his expression.“How long have you been here

The entire ride was filled with silence since Carmen was too exhausted to chitchat, and Dax couldn't find the right words to say to her.Once they arrived at the Davis company, both of them felt relieved the moment they were out of the vehicle.The cold morning breeze gently blew against Dax’s face, causing him to slowly roll his wet tongue against his lips.He then faintly smiled at Carmen when he caught her staring at him, and in that instant, her sight rested on his moist lips which made her heart miss a beat for a second.The feeling that moment gave Carmen made her to immediately stared away from Dax as she gently pinched onto her skirt to distract herself from the image that resided in her head.“Are you ready to head in?” Dax asked.Upon hearing his voice, Carmen shut her eyes as she took in a deep breath for a second to get herself under control. Then when her eyelids opened, she immediately walked past Dax and headed into the building.
