"I’ve compiled the market performance of Asian Pacific Industrials for the past five years. Here’s the projected data for the product collaboration once we launch this. Most factors have been considered including the demand and the pricing preference of the niche." Alisha handed over another clipboard as she continued with her summary performance reports. "For the fashion line partnership with Chanel, our team is already in contact with the design team in France and they presented the suggested raw material we could use for this year’s line. For the Mango Collection, the designs have been approved and the production is now ongoing. We’ll be able to introduce the Mango Collection line to the public in 3 months’ time." After two weeks of successfully recuperating in the Montenegro home, she finally got the doctor’s go signal to resume working again. Oh! And she finally knew why her doctor seemed very familiar, He was also the one who treated her when she had a fever and was brought h

As soon as the sun rose in the sky, the next day, the three members of the Montenegro family woke up and started their routine for the day. The big and mini ice blocks were the fastest to wake up. Quentin is a very disciplined child with a strict body clock. He sleeps at 9:30 pm and wakes up at 6:30 in the morning. He’s capable enough to bathe himself so he showers as soon as he wakes up and dresses himself wearing the attire Alisha had chose the night before. Kristoff who slept at midnight also woke up without the use of any alarm. Even with less than 8 hours of sleep, he got up early to start his day. The lady of the house, Alisha was already wide awake up but she was the type to drag some time for a little bit on the bed before officially starting her morning routine. She doze off staring at nowhere facing the window where streams of sunlight were filling the room. After a full 5 minutes, she finally regained her senses and stood up from the bed. She showered and spent almost h

"...a date?" So suddenly? Right now? Alisha looked at her attire. In her working clothes? Aren’t she supposed to dress a little bit more special if they go on dates? But this infuriating man is just dragging her around in their working attires? "Yes, let’s change our clothes first then we can go roam around." Oh. Thank goodness. Even though Alisha already expected it, she really didn’t think that Kristoff would really bring her to a small store that sells new and cheap clothes. Ever since he said that they’ll leave the car at a parking lot, she already had a faint hunch in her heart. Kristoff Montenegro didn’t follow the usual development of extravagant dates of CEOs but rather, it seemed like he was going to take her into a simple but lowkey date. Alisha looked at Kristoff jwho was checking out the clothes and smiled. The extravagant date sounded good but a simple date like this was actually of her cup of tea. Since she grew up in a high-profile family ever since she was bor

The next morning, the three had breakfast together as usual. Alisha was back to being her carefree self, the topics from last night thrown at the back of her head. Quentin ate the hawthorn as a dessert, the one they bought last night as a bribe that didn’t work at all. "Mom, are you coming with us tomorrow?" "Hm?" Alisha was caught off guard with the question so she wasn’t able to quickly respond. She faintly glanced at Quentin before returning her look at the little kid on the opposite side of the table. "Of course, Mom would be with you tomorrow." "Hmm!" Then he returned to eating his dessert. Alisha's sight stayed at his figure for a few more seconds before looking away, suddenly feeling heavy after answering that question. Tomorrow is Little Quentin's parents’ death anniversary. She knows its normal for a kid to remember his biological parents’ death anniversary but if you think about it, it’s a date that you wouldn’t really want to remember at all. After all, it’s the date

"Alisha, you’ll be fine. Trust me." Then she was pulled into a hug by her husband. She let herself be buried in his arms as he tried comforting her. He gently patted her back while whispering encouraging words in her ears which made her put down her worry. "Hmm. Thank you, Kristoff." She muttered as she relaxed in his embrace. "Wife." "Mm?" "Can I request something?" She shifted in his embrace, slightly raising her head meeting his gaze that was a few inches away from her. She gestured for him to continue speaking. "Um," He cleared his throat. He looked a bit nervous as if he was going to say something that she wouldn’t like at all. "Can you call me husband?" The instant those words escaped his mouth, the sound of coughing resounded in that enclosed space. Alisha almost pushed him, as she covered her mouth trying to stop herself from coughing after choking in her saliva. Damn it, to choke on your own saliva...that was really embarrassing. Kristoff automatically patted her ba
