Helena’s point of view “I'll accompany you to Italy, sir but I want to know how long we will stay,” I answered and he let out a thin smile. “It's just a two-week contract.” He replied and I nodded. “Alright, sir,” I said and he just kept on staring at me, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. Was there something on my face? “I will come over to the place you stay to pick you up this evening.” He finally spoke but that wasn’t what I was expecting to hear. “Mr Manchester, if I may ask, why?” My eyes slightly popped out. “Since we both will be going to Italy next week, we should go shopping together.” He said and I immediately choked up. What is all this?He gave me water and I had no choice but to take it so my throat won’t get sore. “Are you okay?” This attitude of being so nice these days freaks me out, I could see how worried he was on his face. “I’m fine, sir,” I said and he suddenly cleared his throat. Mr Scott wanted dinner with me tonight and I failed him once, no

Helena’s point of view Is this man hypnotized or what? “Why would you want that from me? Aren't you married?” I was so pissed off already, I never saw this coming. He suddenly frowned as I questioned him, rumors had been flying around the company that he was married but no one had ever laid their eyes on his wife. Since he is married, why would he want such an offer from me? I never signed up for this. “You are too loud, Helena! I'm not married so calm down!” He reacted and tightened up his face which made me gasp a little. I was kind of shocked by the denial. “And who told you that I am married?” He added and I bit my lower lip and remember when Betty told me he doesn't like it when someone talks about his marital status. “I-I thought you were married.” I stuttered and he just kept on staring at me with his jaw clenching. He stared at me for a while before saying, “I’m not, like I said, I'll reward you handsomely if you keep your mouth shut without telling any of your other

Ethan’s point of view From everything that has happened to Helena, I think I really need to stop stressing her out, from the doctor’s report she has been so stressed and I will blame myself for doing that to her. Seeing her at work the next day got me so surprised, she is indeed a strong woman. I really wanted her to rest but that's not in my power to stop her from coming to work, so it wouldn't look so obvious that I am into her. I stood and watched her talking to other staff, she looked very much okay now and she smiled so brightly. I wanted to move forward to ask her how she was feeling now but suddenly one of the new employees stopped her. She talked to him with so many smiles, her face never stopped beaming with smiles, she had never smiled so much to me like that before. I couldn't just stand it, so I walked back to my office. I got a message from the contract I'll be working on in Italy and it was finally finalized but there was just a little problem. I needed a partner

Helena’s POVIt was a man putting on a black suit and also black eye shades, I gasped a little. “You must be Helena Brooks.” His face looked so cold, he didn’t even let out a smile at least. “Yes, I am.” I answered and slightly furrowed my eyebrows. “It’s an order from Mr Manchester, that you should come with me.” I didn’t respond to him but rather I awkwardly looked at him. What’s all this about? What’s up with Mr Manchester and all this drama? “Please this way ma’am.” He pointed to the direction and I walked behind him. We got to a place that looked extremely empty. “There’s no one here. Why?” I asked the man who approached me but there was no response from him. We finally got to the entrance of a building. “Please go in, Mr. Manchester is waiting.” He instructed and I scowled at him a little bit. He didn't even look at my face and I walked in. There were so many empty chairs and tables everywhere. It was so empty. I haven’t seen a restaurant as empty as this before. I saw M

Chapter 8Helena’s POV “What do you have with him?” He asked me in an authoritative voice. “He is my colleague?” I looked quite confused at the question. He was quiet for a while but gave me a dead stare. “Get me those files you are done with I will check them properly before you leave.” He finally uttered and walked out of my office. He could interrogate me like I stole something and with the way he looked at me, I was not comfortable with it. Why does he always keep me late? argh this man. I took the file and walked to his office. I placed a knock and he let me in. “Sir, here are the files.” He stretched out his hands to take them. His soft palm rubbed underneath my palm. I took my hand off quickly. “S-Sorr…. Good night sir.” He just stared at me with a slight smirk. What has gotten into this man?I turned to leave.“Ms. Helena!” He called me back and I swallowed a lump formed in my throat and turned to look at him. “I know tomorrow is Sunday, which is your day off, I woul

Helena’s POV Why is he looking at me like he is mad at me? Did I do anything wrong before coming here? “Thank goodness you are okay now, what happened to you.” Betty asked me and I took my eyes off him. She looked worried, she held my hands but not too tight. “I was done eating, I just felt dizzy so I decided to rest my head on my desk and that was all I could remember. And now I see myself here.” I explained to Betty. “Maybe you have really stressed yourself but you are not having any pain right?.” She asked and pinched my skin softly. Mr Manchester just stood there and never asked if I was okay or whatever. Why will he be so cold like that? “I am all good now Betty, thank you very much.” I smiled at her. “All thanks to Mr. Manchester, he was the one who noticed your state and called for the alarm.” Betty clears me out, I was quite surprised. “Did he?” Immediately Betty’s phone rings. “I’ll be back, let me take this call outside.” She said, I nodded and she left, leaving M
