Amber didn't understand why Charlotte kept doing dumb things all in the name of love, doesn't she have any idea how her acts and attitude were simply unattractive, if she was simply trying to get Xavier to herself, doing all of these evil acts and even putting him at risk wasn't the best choice. Amber almost shook her head in disappointment at her. Charlotte was speechless, she didn't know what to say or do so she simply kept silent and turned towards his door leaving. She slammed the door shut after her. Amber hoped Charlotte would stop trying to devise means to make sure Xavier isn't involved with other women and just focus on herself instead. After Charlotte left, Amber realized there was no need to stand there again so she proceeded to go to her seat when Xavier called her back. Amber paused in her steps and turned to look at him,"Yes?" Xavier smiled at her and said,"Good job and I'm sorry for Charlotte's acts, it won't repeat itself again" Amber smiled back, he didn't need to apo

Sophia still had a fake smile on her lips before Amber left the room which instantly dropped to the lowest when Amber left. She held the dress in her hand and stared at it, she could vividly remember how the dress came about, of course she didn't get it for herself, it was gifted to her by someone. After her incident with Jake four years ago, she received a door delivery a week later, it was a package for her, she remembered asking the delivery man who sent it before she signed because she wasn't expecting a gift from anyone, the delivery man had replied her with a disembodied voice that the package was from Jake Elrod, she remembered how those words gladdened her heart as she quickly signed the paper and told the delivery man a sweet "Bye". She was so happy that a guy like Jake was interested in her, who knew all her joy would be shattered one day when she came to apply as a secretary in his company, she could recall the pain she felt in her heart when he simply looked at her like sh

. "No" Amber replied bluntly, she was disgusted with the fact that the rich think they can get anything they want just because they have the money to spend at will. Just the thought of it was annoying, there was no way she would risk her job just to make a person happy, besides she was still angry at Charlotte so why would she give Charlotte the satisfaction of seeing her run away because of her. Never. "Sorry? What did you say?" Melinda wanted to confirm she heard Amber correctly, she was so sure it was her ears playing tricks on her. "You heard me correctly ma'am, I can't and I won't accept your proposal, besides I like my job so there is absolutely nothing that would stop me from leaving my job at the company." Melinda was flabbergasted at her response, she thought Amber would be so shocked at the offer and agree to it willingly, who would have thought Amber will turn her offer down? Now she was even more certain that Amber didn't want to stay in the company to keep her job, no she

Amber was starting to see sense in what Sophia was saying, Xavier once told her that he didn't like the arranged marriage and his parents gave him a two month's deadline to show them his girlfriend, Amber also remembered Xavier mentioned having a mystery girl he liked, but what bothered Amber now was why Xavier will tell her those kind of things, does he like her? She didn't want to think deep into it and break her own heart when the answer came out to be the opposite. "Are you still thinking about it?" Sophia asked, breaking Amber away from her thoughts. Amber shook her head at her and replied,"Okay let's assume I take your advice seriously and actually try to get him to like me this next two months, do you think Charlotte or her mother will back down? I know they won't, or do you think his family will accept me after knowing my background story" Amber paused for a while, she let her insecurity get the best of her again, she heaved a deep breath and said in a low tone,"I am not sure

jenna's question confirmed her thoughts that they weren't really taught that in school, she turned towards elena requesting for an answer to explain herself. "i just wanted to try out different algebra's, we weren't really taught that in class. elena replied meekly. "it's grade 9 maths mum, elena told me to give it to her to test her smartness" amber almost gasped, on the other hand she was surprised that her child was attempted a grade 9 question and actually got it correct while on the other hand she couldn't believe her son has actually been studying grade 9 maths since! when he was just in grade 4, she really felt like she was doing great as a mum in knowing anything about her children's studies or what they are up to. before she could get any word on, jenna gasped and faced elena,"but we are in grade 4! i don't think it's right to do other grades homework". jaden rolled his eyes at her statement,"it is very right to do other grades assignment if you want to be smart but definitel
