Ring!"Give me a second." As Conall went on picking up the call, Ellaine was disappointed. She almost told him her mother's name but she was interrupted.When he was talking on the call, she noticed that the customers who were there awhile ago were now gone. Turning around Ellaine saw Roma still seated on the chair and enjoying the coffee.'This cafe feels so silent. Where are those people gone to?' Curious, she stared at the men in black who were present there. They had mostly same hairstyle with same dresscode. As if they were from the same team or probably filming some movie scene, she was amazed at the sight."For now, that will be all." Ending the call, as Conall turned to her he saw her staring at him with curiosity. Those eyes having intense desire to know something. "Ella, we have to end our conversation here today."The corner of her lips lowered and she fiddled with the dress she had on, "Are you already leaving?""Yes, I have an urgent meeting that I need to attend so I hav

ESPLAZA, a renowned five-star hotel. It ranked top among all those luxurious hotels in the city. Apart from the normal services they provided, there were even rooms available for pairs who came to spend time but they had no proper relationship."President, none of what is said in the report card is true. I didn't do anything evil behind your back, they are just conspiring against me. Please trust me." A 35 years old man knelt as he begged for a chance. The others looked at each other, gulping with the thought that maybe their turn was about to come."Mr. Kennedy, what are you talking about? Are we conspiring against you? It was you who held this secret meeting, we were told to come. You didn't even invite the CEO but only some members that you see fit. That's why I've told the CEO to be here so he could see what a backstabber you are." One of the members present there commented."You... You are lying, you all are in one team. President, please trust me. I don't know anything about thi

• The Next Day •Tying her hair in a bun, Irene casually settled on the bed. The dark patches under her eyes were clearly visible and she felt somewhat annoyed even though it was only morning. After coming back last night, she tried to fall asleep but his words kept coming back to her mind again and again, and as a result she rolled on the bed most of the night until at 3 am she could finally fall asleep. Heaving a sigh she stretched out her arms and smiled brightly, "Forget about the bad time. Let's see how I can start my day today."As she was about to head to the door, the notification sound in her phone suddenly made a noise. At first she kept ignoring it until it started ringing. Groaning, she picked up the call.As soon as she picked it up, Maria's overly fretful voice spoke from the other end of the call, "Iri, check the messages I've sent you. Oh my God, I still can't believe that it happened. How can it be? Who is she exactly?""Wait, wait hang on! What happened? Who's wha

Everyone left the store as they were not allowed to be crowded there. And Conall had made it clear to the public that none was supposed to publish what just happened in social media or he would sue them.The staff were taking away the bags that Irene left in a rage, when suddenly one of the bags dropped from her hand and the clothes in it fell on the floor."I'm so sorry, Mr. Hudson." With that the employee picked it up keeping her head down, since looking right into his eyes was a crime for all. As she was hurrying to leave Conall ordered in a cold tone of voice, "Wait a minute.""Yes, sir."Staring at the clothes in the bag with sharp eyes, he took it away from her hand. He checked it and then asked, "Is this one of the bags that Miss dropped a while ago?""Yes, sir."'This is a kid's clothes. Why was that woman buying a little boy's dress? As far as I remember her parents died long ago and she was an only child. Then...'Checking her portfolio he learnt everything about her, out o

° The Next Day °Taking a sneak peek at the invitation card put on the table Irene looked back at the wall clock. She was invited to one of the business parties held in EXPLORE FANTE but she was reluctant to go there."Can I not attend the party?" With a lethargic tone, she asked Luxury. Though Luxury knew what she wanted, she answered uprightly, "No, you have to go because they invited you as the CEO of Desmond IO. You have been ignoring the invitations for long but you can't keep doing it anymore."Remembering about what Luxury told her she could only sigh in defeat. Irene never liked to go to those business parties no matter what kind of party it was as it didn't just give her any good feelings. It was quite stuffy and crowded in all those parties where rich people were an 'everyday member' so she didn't think that she belonged to such places and as a result she avoided whenever she was invited to a party in the past. That's why people never saw her face and it was a mystery whethe
