Ellena has finally arrived at the villa. Seeing that the living room was empty, she glanced at the bodyguard standing by the corner. "Is Nicklaus here? Or has he left?" The bodyguard tilted his head in her direction before slowly nodding. "He's upstairs, Young Madame." Now, even the bodyguards had trained themselves to address Edward as Nicklaus rather than his birth name. She smiled, holding the bag in her hand as she went upstairs. "Nicklaus," she called out. There was a certain skip to her steps as she strode down the corridor. Obviously, whatever happened a few hours ago had set her in a good mood. She gazed at the different doors surrounding her. Which room was he in again? She turned her head to see a majestic double-doored room waiting for her at the other end of the hall. Her lips pursed as she moved towards it. She did come from that room yesterday morning, so that was obviously Nicklaus's room. Now that she thought about it, even the doorway i

Ellena stared at the coffee stains on his buttoned up shirt and raised an eyebrow. She said sarcastically, "You can't even hold a cup of coffee properly. They say that if something's wrong with your hand coordination, your kidney isn't good. Think they could say the same for you?" Edward pursed his lips and placed the cup on top of the table. He didn't bother to wipe the stains from his suit as he stood up. "There's nothing wrong with my hand coordination, I assure you. Unless, of course, you'd like to test it out?" After that, he winked. She didn't even bother to look at him as she turned around and walked towards the door. "Dream on!" Her arrogant voice echoed throughout the hallway just as the door had slammed shut. Edward blinked in surprise. Did this woman grow a pair of wings since she had removed her makeup, that she'd actually dared to challenge him? His eyes flashed with amusement as he stared at her retreating figure. Ellena ran out of th

Naomi and Madeline were already assuming that she was having or had an affair with “Nicklaus”. If they saw him coming down the street to pick her up now, then they would surely misunderstand her situation even more. Ellena frowned, feeling as if she was coming down with a headache. This was just too complicated! It would've been easier if she had gone back to the villa herself. Besides, she didn't have any need for any help either way! After exiting the elevator, Naomi went out first. When Ellena saw that Naomi was already a few steps ahead, she slowed down her pace and took her phone out of her pockets. "Nicklaus, you better pick up." She murmured while dialing the number. To her surprise, the man answered quickly. "What is it now?" His mocking voice echoed from the other end of the line before she could even speak. "Have you decided not to treat me to a meal? Have you run away with the black card, stealing me from my own well deserved dinner? "Don't be ridiculous!" Wait a sec

Ellena took a deep breath and walked into the room, making sure to leave the door slightly open behind her. An innocent smile slipped into her lips. "Manager Black is discharged so quickly. I was just about to visit you in the hospital." Dawson Black was his full name. He had a wife and a daughter. While he was deemed to be lustful and lazy, there was actually one woman that could get him off his feet and that was his wife. She even had come to the company once to deal with him because of the rumors that the man was involved with a female colleague in the company. The words she used and the look she had on was like a lion on a prowl. Everyone in the company knew that he was especially afraid of his wife. Yesterday, Ellena had offended the department manager on her first day at work, so she obviously needed to do her homework. The last thing she wanted to do was back down, like all the times she had done in the past. As soon as he caught sight of her, the muscles on his face twitch

There were other people around, so Ralph couldn’t reject Ellena just like that. After all, even if they were all on bad terms behind closed doors, they were still considered 'family' or whatever that meant nowadays. He had a faint smile on his face and nodded at her. "Why don't we eat together?" "Sure." After she said that, Ralph’s expression changed slightly. Although it was barely noticeable to the other bystanders, Ellena caught it. She smirked. "But not today. I plan on eating with my colleagues, so how about another day?" The father and daughter duo obviously disliked her. From the moment she was brought into this world, they already wanted nothing to do with her. Naturally, that didn't stop now even if they were working under the same company. Hearing her refusal, his expression relaxed and his smile became less stiff. "All right. Some other time." Just then, Naomi suddenly turned her head and picked some food for her father. She insisted, placing the vegetables on his plate
