Danie's first week at work rolled about smoothly. In fact, she hadn't seen Lucas since her first day. That was good. Although she was beginning to wonder what his plan really was. And because there's a saying that goes like 'the calm before the storm', Danie was uneasy.She felt like something bad's going to happen."How's it going so far, Dana?" Asked Albert. He had just arrived from a client meeting."All good. I've set you another meeting tomorrow. And I made a follow up to that lady you told me, she said she's reconsidering. She might come to the open house next week.""Well done, Dana!" Albert patted her head like praising a little girl for a job well done."Thanks!"Unbeknownst to her, a pair of envious eyes was looking at them. It belongs to another AE, Stephanie who was a long time admirer of the thirty-one year old bachelor, Albert.Stephanie was cursing Dana in her heart. She had already done everything but Albert wasn't as

Having the AC back was a relief for Danie. She could bear the other inconveniences but not the hot temperature.It was nine in the morning when the person came to fix the AC unit. It didn't take long since there was not a problem to begin with. But what amazed Danie was that the fifty year old plus man was on video call with Lucas the entire time that he was doing the repair."Sir Lucas is the Rev. Marcus' son," the man said with a kind smile. There was an obvious respect in his voice towards Lucas and his father. Which made her believe that he was of the same faith but from different church. "And it's just the two of us here. This is for our protection," he explained before starting the job.Because she already had a phone, she didn't need to go down to buy the old man some snack. She just ordered online.Danielle had a nice weekend. She called Tabitha but it was Jio whom she talked to for a long time because they did an online tutorial in Math. Mirriam

Danielle, the Billionaire Heiress, just got promoted to being an assistant to Lucas Del Fierro with no proper job description.Lucas was like a rich brat who wanted his every request to come to pass no matter how unreasonable it would be.'Why are you doing this, Danielle?' she asked herself while making a coffee for Lucas.She'd been asking herself the same question lately. She could go on with her life even if Lucas would not forgive her. But here she was, wasting her time on him when she could put it to other use.Say for example, find out what had already happened back home while she was gone. Did her Uncle tell everyone that she's already dead? Did her grandfather try to look for her?Then it hit Danie, why did her Uncle stop searching for her? He didn't get her body as proof that she was dead. Didn't he think that she might be alive?Danie didn't believe that Justus Williams would be that careless unless –"I

"A person you might know?" Tabitha repeated what she said.Danie was forced to lie again. She needed to tell Tabitha something to ease her worries. Besides, she wasn't totally lying. She was not really sure if the man she saw was her Uncle. But when she told Tabitha about it, it was from the point of view of her fake amnesiac self. She supposedly saw someone she might know from her forgotten past."I'm not sure, Auntie. It's just that when I saw him, I suddenly felt cold. I was scared. But I don't exactly know why," she added."Could this be the person who was running after you?" the older woman worriedly asked. "Then you're not safe in the city anymore! I'll tell Lucas that you're not coming back with him.""No. No. Please, Auntie. Lucas doesn't know about it," Danie panicked. Lucas knew that would happen if she continue acting weird. That's why he specifically told her to pull herself together.But what could she do? She didn't realize that

'Take today as a leave.'Lucas sent her a message shortly after she woke up. It was like he knew that she just regain consciousness.'Ace will be there to send you home.''Thank you, Mr. Del Fierro,' Danie messaged back. She wanted to say she can manage. But thinking about it, it was his fault that she was hospitalized again. He must pay for her bills.It was lunch time when Ace arrived."Were you able to call Mr. Leith?" Danie asked. This morning, she had asked him a favor to call the owner of Fleur on her behalf."I did. But I was just able to talk to his wife. She said that Mr. Leith was rushed to the hospital last Saturday. He's not yet discharged up to now," Ace answered."It's so hard to set an appointment with him," Danie was disappointed because she did her best in setting that dinner appointment tonight. Only to end up n
