Maya glances at Mr. Santiago at the last statement and drops the note. "That is all sir." She says as her just relaxed face suddenly turns into one with a wide smile. "I'm so happy for you– for us sir! Congrats to you and us. This is very great news. Woohoo!" She makes a quick body dance and giggles. Mr. Santiago laughs at her poor dancing skills and pats her on the shoulder. "I'm as much as happy as you are Maya but I'm just wondering why the Scion of the Millers will come himself to deliver a contract to us and why he will do it a day after we quarreled." He sighs and rubs his hair. "It just doesn't sit well with me." Maya places a finger into her mouth and tilts her head as her mind roams about what Mr. Santiago just said. Although just boss and worker both share a greater bond between them and tend to discuss things way past business with each other. After several minutes of thinking, she shakes her head as she couldn't place her hand on anything and sighs. "I'm sorry sir. Noth

"I did it, baby girl. I caused it all. I made him sign the contract without reading it. How would I have known that Brooks will come up with such an evil thing? How would I? I trusted him. I fucking trusted him!" The corners of her lips quiver at each word she says and at the end, her body droops as she lowers her head not still being able to look at any of them.Juliet could tell that her mum is deeply saddened and for the first time is regretting her action. She wants to pull her sweet mum in for an embrace and tell her that it will be alright and that she will do it as long as it makes them happy and keeps them safe but instead she shakes her head and turns her back on them. "I've always warned you both about Brooks but you guys wouldn't listen. Now you expect me to merge my company with that thief! You guys just want to wreck my life because of your greediness!" She picks up the vase before her and slams it on the floor. "It's not like we ain't wealthy, for fucks sake we are the

Lucien chuckles as he glances toward the waiter, not a bit moved by his tone of voice. "I guess I'm deaf then because I'm not leaving till I'm done." He says in finality and stares away from him relaxing even more. The waiter takes a step backward and curls up his brows at him taken aback by his reply. Is this man serious? He wonders and rushes out. He comes back almost immediately with a man who has a tag that says Fox restaurant supervisor and should be in his mid-forties and points at Lucien. "He is the pauper that refused to leave among all sir and is still adamant even after I asked him to. Should I call up the guards on him? People like him deserve to be treated like dogs because that's what they are." The supervisor sizes up Lucien and shakes his head. "Let me talk to him first. If he still refuses to leave then you can do as you please." He says and walks in front of Lucien. He smiles up a little and clears his throat. "Please sir, it's in our principles to make sure disting

Mr. Corbin sighs and shakes his head. He had intended to tell his Master about it when they are all relaxed and as a surprise to him but Mr. Ethan just ruined everything by saying that. He can't help but clench his teeth a little. "I was going to tell you, Master." He puffs out his chest and says. "I was simply waiting for the right moment." "This is fantastic news." Lucien smiles, a grin spreading across his face. "It arrived just in time and has just made everything I have in mind easier. I need you to do something for me. Because it is so urgent you will treat it as such." "What is it, Master?" "Sorry to interrupt Mr. Wood but do you own Shadow Worldwide Company?" "It was given to my Master by an anonymous donor, so yes, my Master is the sole owner, and I'm his general manager." Mr. Corbin answers quickly before Lucien can, and Lucien relaxes back and snaps his mouth shut. "Oh," Mr. Ethan says, tilting his head. He doesn't believe that statement because, unlike Mr. Corbin, he

His heart melts at the sight of her in such a position, and a stench of pain washes over him. He despises seeing her cry because it hurts him deeply. He tends to hold back when he knows it is him who is causing her to cry, but knowing that he isn't the one causing her tears now causes him to clench his fists and grit his teeth.It takes him a lot of control to hold back himself from getting up from that wheelchair and going as far as Forest Hills to make Brooks pay for causing his beloved tears. Only the thought of what he has already planned earlier with Mr. Ethan and Corbin seems to be holding him back right now as he knows definitely that everything will be taken care of once they do all he has told them to do.He takes a moment to collect himself before wheeling over to her and, against all odds, gently rubbing his hand through her soft silky hair.Juliet shivers and jerks her head up, her eyes bulging out, but she sighs and lowers her head when she realizes it's Lucien. She ha
