With the now free time she had, Taylor spent every waking moment thinking about how to get to the top floor or better still, Andrew’s room. That morning, she was having breakfast with Andrew as usual when he got a call and left to answer it. She absentmindedly stabbed down at her steak as she weighed the pros and cons of how to get in to either of them. The President's office was on the last floor. His office occupied the whole floor and only a few cleaners were allowed there to clean. The only person who went up to it frequently was Kaleb Clover and because he was his assistant. Andrew had made it clear to her that she wouldn't be given any special treatment just because she was his wife so she knew Kaleb wouldn’t take her up to him if she requested to see him at work. And as a junior consultant, she had no business with even a department director talk more of the company's President. But on the other hand, it could be in his room. Andrew only let Becky clean his room. No othe
That day, Taylor received the same disdainful and angry looks she had been getting ever since news spread that she was trying to seduce Samuel Sanchez. “Is that her? The junior consultant who tried to seduce the Diirector of her department?” “Yes, she is.” “She actually is pretty, but I hear she’s from a poor family.” “Whether she’s pretty or not, how dare a girl from a contryside cast her eyes on the director of a department? The nerves!” “What did Anna do when she found out about her and Mr. Sanchez?” “I expected her to fly into a rage or do something drastic, but everywhere has been suspiciously quiet. Man, I was really looking forward to this fight!” “I know, right? She’s been surprisingly quiet. Going about her day like nothing is wrong and she’s been passing the junior consultant without batting an eye. Is she really not going to do anything? Is she going to let her off that easily?” “I don’t believe that. The last time someone dared to voice out her likeness for Mr. San
“She-did she just tear the cheque in two? Is she crazy?” “Crazy? She’s a fool! Someone just handed her a platter of gold with her life on it and she chose to melt the gold in a furnace!” “I’m not exactly sure what will happen to her, but I know it’ll be bad.” Anna’s eyes darkened in rage. “What did you just do?” Taylor placed the one half on the other and laid it beside her before retorting, “I tore it.” Anna clenched her fist tightly and glared hard at her. “Why did you do that? Are you deliberately provoking me to anger?” Taylor shook her head and said seriously, “Don’t get me wrong, I would never. I only did what I did because there was no need for it.” “A blank cheque to get away from Mr. Sanchez which would entail me to resign my job and leave the city? There’s totally no need for that.” Anna snickered and raised a brow, “Why? Do you plan to resign and leave the city without taking anything from me?”Taylor chuckled, “Of course not.” The smile on Anna’s face slowly disap
In the Fairchild’s residenceElizabeth got off her phone after getting him to agree and went off to take her bath. When she returned, she found her mother sitting on her bed. “When did you come in?” “Isn’t that obvious?”Elizabeth stared at her briefly before she went ahead to put on some her sleeping clothes. The day was her day off, so she spent the whole day at home, but in her room.“After the incident with Taylor, your father’s stock price plummeted and the shareholders have been holding meetings to have him acquitted from his position as the company’s chairman.” “He needs help now more than ever. If you bring to him the heir of the Holt family as a son-in-law, he won’t think twice when I ask him to make you his heir.” Elizabeth’s face tightened when she heard Ava, but she didn’t let her displeasure show in her voice. “I’m trying my best, mother. I’ve already gotten through to Emily Holt, but for some reason he still isn’t swayed by me.” Ava scoffed, “Why? Taylor was able t
In Andrew Solution, Taylor pushed the whispering going around the company to the back of her mind and focused on her work. When it was a few minutes from when she closed from work, someone walked to her desk. “Junior consultant, the department director is holding a department dinner this evening. Everyone is mandated to be there.” “A department dinner?” Taylor repeated and raised her head to look at the person, already planning to reject the offer only to see her hurriedly walking away. Three minutes after she left, Taylor picked up her phone and opened her phone book. Andrew had made her delete every number she had saved. So the only number she now had was his. So she stared at his phone number in her phone book for several minutes. It’d be rude of her not to go to the department dinner, but she’d have a worse fate in store for her if she attended the dinner without Andrew’s permission. After hesitating for a long time, she tapped the number and called. She listened to it in t
That evening, every staff in the company were driven to a 5 star hotel called Rosé Hotel using the company’s shuttle bus. However, the first set of people to arrive were staffs from the Consultant Department. Samuel Sanchez left the group when they got to the reception and went up to the receptionist to tell her of his reservation. “Hello, good evening. I made a reservation this afternoon for a dinner for more than 30 people.” “What’s the name, sir?” The receptionist asked as she settled her fingers on the keyboard. “Samuel Sanchez.” The keys of the keyboard began clacking the very next second before she stopped, a puzzled look appearing on her face and glanced up at him. “I’m afraid there’s no reservation under that name, sir. Are you sure you made a reservation before coming? You might think you did but actually forgot to.”Samuel shook his head at her suggestetion at what might’ve happened and whipped out his phone to show her his call logs. “No, I’m very sure of it. Here,
Anna’s expression changed drastically as she turned to Samuel beside her. Samuel ignored the curious eyes on him as he went ahead to grill the meat in silence. Anna swallowed a lump and glanced at Taylor in irritation. “Junior consultant, it’s your first time eating such an expensive dish. Despite how it looks to you, you should take a bite from it. As for grilled meat, you can always eat them every other day.”Taylor sensed the irritation in her voice and smiled at her apologetically, “My apologies, it’s not exactly the food. I’m just allergic to peanut. And it seems to be seared all over my meal.” “If it were an allergy I could control, I would’ve tried to take a bite from it. However, that isn’t the case. So I’d hate to bother everyone by having them see me break out in hives before spending the rest of their evening transporting me to the hospital.” “What are you apologizing for? Allergies can’t be controlled. You can’t eat peanut, but you can eat meat, can’t you?” Samuel but
Inside the hotel room, awkward silence was broken when someone checked her phone to see the trending news. “Huh? Someone got into an accident? Daniel Holt got into a life threatening hit and run accident. No way!” “What? Daniel Holt? Has the culprit been caught? How is he?” Almost immediately, everybody whipped out their phones to see what was going on. After scrolling it for a moment, one of them heaved in relief. “Elizabeth Fairchild is in the ER with him already, I’m relieved.” “Honestly. She’s so good at her job that I can’t help but feel at ease after hearing she’s the one operating on him.” “She treated my grandfather once and he said he hadn’t felt much better. Ever since then, we changed our family’s doctor to her.” “The police report says he was driving drunk which was why he couldn’t get out of there quickly but it just looks to me like someone tried to kill him. I mean, look at how gruesome the scene of the accident.” “I know, right? Four trucks came up from all fou
