Giselle nodded. "Your boss dropped you?!" Blaire exclaimed. Giselle nodded again. "Yes." "Why? What happened to his anger and hatred towards you?" she asked. "I am as surprised as you are. But he said that if anything happens to me, it will be on his company. He doesn't want that. He didn't do it for me," Giselle replied. Blaire scoffed. "Yeah right. Giselle, your ex-husband still cares about you." Giselle shook her head. "I don't think so. What he said was a solid reason. He doesn't care about me." "But hold on, he knows where you live now?" Blaire pressed. Giselle shook her head, making Blaire furrow her brows. "I knew the kids would be on the balcony, so I made him drop me at the last building." "Wow. That's clever. Trust me, Archie would surely call after you if you had dropped here," Blaire said. "You’re talking as if I don't know my kids," Giselle replied. Blaire chuckled. "I couldn't risk it. I had to take him down there," Giselle said, removing the band from her ha

"Oh, my. Are you okay?" Rob asked, walking towards Giselle who is on the floor."You have got to be kidding me," Xavier said."What a clumsy PA you have here, Mr. Sheffield," Mr. Vincent said amusingly as Giselle moved to get up while Rob picked up the papers for her."Just give the files to me, Rob," Xavier said, sounding pissed. He collected the files from Rob angrily. Giselle stood up straight."I am sor—""You, get the fuck out!" he yelled at her.A pool of humiliation poured over Giselle.She walked towards her seat, picked up her bag, and walked out of the hall."I apologize for the incompetence, Mr. Vincent. Let's discuss the monetary terms," she heard Xavier say as she closed the door.Letting out a sigh, she moved towards the waiting seats on the left side of the door.Giselle sat down, feeling tears welling up but suppressing them.She had just humiliated herself in front of everyone. Nice try, Giselle.Could working there get any worse?She exhaled as she dipped her hand in

"I did everything possible to bring her down academically. I made her go with me to parties I don't even want to go to. I made her drink a lot but still, she always maintained her straight A's!" Cameron yelled, making Ava flinch. Cameron scoffed. "I was the happiest when she told me she won't be able to further her education. That was an opportunity for me to be bigger than her as I have always wanted. I was fucked excited about the news. But she revealed her marriage as well." "Marriage?" Ava asked. Cameron scoffed. "The bitch got married to the most handsome man I have ever since." Ava furrowed her brows in confusion. "Xavier Sheffield. A fucking Greek god. He had nothing when he married her. He was a church rat." Cameron said. Ava gave it a thought. "That should be a great news. I mean, she ended up with a broke man. Isn't it a good thing?" She asked. Cameron scoffed and turned to her. "Why the hell would she even get married before me?" Ava raised her brows. "I am a year

As Giselle walked out of the building, the kids called, "Bye Mum!" in unison. They stood on the balcony with Blaire, waving at her."Bye," she waved back.Turning to the road, Giselle walked out of the streets and headed toward the bus stand. A bus stopped just as she arrived.She entered and joined the others who were standing, holding onto the overhead holder.Giselle wore a green knee-length dress. It was old but still fit her well. She felt tired of wearing skirts and shirts and recognized she would have to get used to them—they were like uniforms for the company.The bus kept moving, and everyone inside focused on the road, minding their own business.As they drove past the school Giselle wanted to enroll her kids in, she felt hopeful. It wasn't far from home, and she believed it would be perfect for them.They would resume on Monday. She didn't want them to continue staying at home; they were missing out on so much. She planned to use her last savings to register them and then w

Giselle watched as Xavier and Arabella held each other while speaking to Cameron. Her heart ached every time she saw them together. They had actually shared a kiss just seconds ago. She wasn't sure why she had looked their way; it was so annoying.She focused on the files, trying her hardest to understand what Rob was saying, but she couldn't concentrate because of Xavier.This was so annoying.She needed to get Xavier’s hair for the DNA test. That would be difficult, so she planned to go for his cup. But he hadn't asked for coffee or wine since then.Wasn't he thirsty?"Do you understand?" Rob asked, making her look at him.He raised an eyebrow at her.Giselle shook her head.He sighed. "Come on, Giselle, I have been explaining this to you for almost an hour," he said, sounding frustrated.She felt terrible instantly."Where is your attention?" he asked."I'm sorry, Rob. I was...""Just take it and go through them. I need a break," he said, handing the files to her and walking away.
