52."Triple your salary?'' Roland asked to be sure he heard correctly the first time."Yeah, you did say you were going to do it the first time, remember?" She then mimicked him. "It's a really good offer, I can even triple your salary if you want. I'm sure this rings a bell." She stated. "So Sir, if you're not going to do it, then I won't accept the offer of being your personal assistant.""Are you threatening me right now Anna?""Of course not, but you can think of it as whatever, I don't care what you think. You're my boss and I'm just your employee.""Are you sure about that Anna? Because at this point now, I'm not even sure who the boss is among us, it's more as if you're the boss here and I'm the one who's your employee." He stated because in reality, that's what it's looking like, she even holds more power more than he does and that's because he's foolishly in love with her, he's willing to do whatever she says not bothering what it is.Anna sharply turned around, she was tryin

54.Roland was sorting out some files in his office when Ashton walked in.Ashton paused to get a good look at him first, he's never seen Roland working with a smile on his face before, he's looking extremely happy and he couldn't help but wonder why."What's up with the happy face? You're looking so happy, did something good happen or did Annabel finally accept you?" He asked as he took a sit in front of Roland."Oh, that will happen soon don't worry." Roland replied with full confidence.Ashton chuckled softly. "I'm shocked by the confidence you have when you said that, do you have a plan?""Not really, it's just about Olivia, they're having a parents meeting in their school soon and she's asked me to play the role of her father, I just love the little girl so much and I feel she's going to play a huge part in bringing I and Annabel together. You know Olivia is getting so fond of me now and is always requesting to see me and each time we meet, Annabel is always there, you get what I'

56."What? What do you mean Olivia? Why would you say such a thing?'' Annabel asked, even Sasha was surprised by her question."I'm just saying mommy, can he be my real father? I want him as my father.'' "Hold on a minute. Are you saying this because of the things he gives you? Is that why you want him as your father Olivia?""Of course not mommy." Olivia instantly denied because in the real fact, that's not the reason she wants him as her father."Anna, that's not the kind of question to ask a little girl, you shouldn't ask her that." Sasha cautioned."I just want to know what my little angel is up to Sasha." She replied. "So tell me baby, why do you suddenly want him as your father?" She asked."It's really not because of the things he buys for me mommy, remember when we went to the store, he was the only one who talked to me when I touched him and I just like Mr a lot, he's so nice to me and I love him, he's acts like a father to me and do you hear him mommy, he calls me his daugh

58.“Oh my goodness, it's a doll house!” One of the kids screamed and everybody stood up, clapping loudly and cheering.Annabel covered her mouth as she stood there speechless.“Sorry, I'm late. My father gave me a hard time before letting me come here. He was angry and saying that I wasn't a parent, so what was I going to do in someone else's child parents day, crazy right?” Sasha scoffed as she rushed in and spoke to Annabel, who couldn't hear her due to shock.“Anna? Annie?” She called and furrowed her brows when Annabel's eyes were fixed in one particular direction. She turned and a “Whoa!” escaped her lips. “Did Roland get that for Olivia?” She asked when she saw Olivia screaming and dancing around.Annabel nodded for she couldn't find words to express how she was feeling right now.Roland turned to her and she looked back at him, her eyes turning watery. The parents felt intimidated but they still celebrated the little girl.When it was all over, they took pictures and Roland dro

60.Annabel entered the office the next day but was shocked to see that Roland was not in the office. She wondered what happened because he was always the first to come to work before her.She sighed and sat down, thinking he must have gone to attend a meeting of some sort. She went through his schedule for the day but there was nothing like that.“He can come to work whenever he likes, I don't care,” She scoffed and went to do her work for the day.2 hours later, Roland wasn't there yet. She didn't know why but she became worried about him. This was very unusual of him. When she waited for another hour and didn't see him, she stood up and went to the secretary. “Have you seen Mr. Roland today?” She asked, forgetting to greet.Sandra looked up at her, a smile forming on her lips. This was the first time she got to look at Annabel upclose. The girl was indeed beautiful like the other employees said.Annabel furrowed her brows, wondering why Sandra was smiling at her. She cleared her
