Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

“What’s funny?” Christopher asked in genuine confusion as he met my gaze, but I quickly shook my head, refusing to answer that question. “Nothing,” I smiled at him. “I shall return to my desk. Have a good day, Mr. Moore, and see you at your lunch.” As soon as I made my statement clear, I opened the door and walked out, shutting it with a soft thud. Then it took me a few moments to recover and adjust my emotions before making my way back to my office. Stella was eagerly waiting for my return which was evident from the way she leaned out of her table as soon as she saw me walk back in. “What is Mr. Moore’s excuse this time around?” she inquired with her gaze on me and I told her the exact reason Christopher gave to me. “Oh…” Stella drawled. She had a mixed expression at the news. While she was happy that Barbara wasn’t promoted because she was deserving of that position, she was still a bit dissatisfied with her. Just like me, she must be wondering if there wasn’t any other w

Sandra and Lucy seem to have forgotten what I’m made of. I don’t give up easily on anything I’ve set my eyes on unless the chance is 0%. Yes, you heard that right. Even when I failed to secure a job at TRANSCORP, what did I do? In fact, what I did next should let anyone know that I am tenacious. And who can compete with that? --- In quick elegant steps, I arrived in front of my father. And at my presence, he quickly introduced me to the minister of Finance. I exchanged polite pleasantries with the minister before whispering to my Dad’s ear, “Dad, please excuse me. I want to have a word with you for a moment.” The next second, I nodded curtly to the minister with a small polite smile on her lips before leaving. My dad found me alone at a table a minute later and joined me. “And what has my beautiful princess got to say to me?” he asked, a proud smile on his lips as he admired my beauty. Dad loved Mum a lot as I was their only child, he cherished me a lot, and

A deep sigh escaped my lips before a small smile bloomed. I will miss Stella. And that’s for certain.The cool breeze from the night hit my face a few seconds later, snapping back to reality. I quickly walked towards the car park and found mine.The drive home had me thinking of what the future holds for me and Christopher. While everything seems roe going smoothly, I can’t help but be a little worried. Everything seems too good to be true. You know, I had once concluded that I was destined to be alone and unloved and zeroed my mind down on any form of expectation, until Christopher came along.Now, I’m thinking if our relationship will continue with the same energy and last a life time. I shouldn’t be blamed for having these thoughts as I have gone through hell and beyond to get to this point. See what my parents did to me. I was once their beloved little princess, until I went missing and returned years later.People can change, that I understand. But one’s parents? That’s

It took a lot of effort of blinking and trying to steady myself on the rail of one of Dad’s exercise equipment to finally stabilise myself.“Y-you...y-you... Uncle Frederick told you that?” I asked Dad, definitely looking like I had been slapped back to reality.“Yes it did,” Dad confirmed once again. “Though, I heard it’s an arranged marriage.” As soon as he said that, both anger, confusion and bitterness consumed me. I had no idea I was a step late trying to win Christopher Moore over but what baffles me more is how and why his family would arrange his marriage.Is it that he can’t find himself a woman or they simply took charge of that aspect of his life because of her position?Also, what about me? I mean... Dad has been friends with uncle Fredrick and TRANSCORP’s business partner. Why didn’t they pick when they were searching for a wife for Christopher?I just can’t being myself to understand this stupid situation.I felt my breath size for a moment. I can’t accept this r

“Tell me the things I want, and just maybe, I will listen to you talk about other things” I said to Noah, hinting at a possible collaboration.Although, I’m not making any promises, but I could compromise a few things if that’s what would get him on my side.As soon as I made that proposal, another silence stretched between us. I have just a minute left but Noah doesn’t seem to care like he has all the time in the world, as he is the one calling the shots now.“You should have said this sooner,” he snorted as the sound of done closing reached my ears, followed by shuffling of feet.I rolled my eyes as my arm crossed below my chest. Noah is really getting on my nerves with the delays.At long last, he finally made a move to talk about my topic of interest. “I don’t know how you found that information, but Christopher’s marriage has been arranged since we were younger. And we knew nothing about it until a few weeks back, when grandpa made the introductions.”I rolled my eyes again
