Fortunately for Johanne, Angel's health had improved. Although she had insisted many times on getting information about the generous person who had paid all her hospital expenses, they refused to disclose the identity.Though the sudden encounter with Edward had been a coincidence, she was far from believing that he was the one who had performed such a generous act for her. A man as cold and distant as Edward Collen had no reason to help her."How fortunate you are doing well, my little one. But we will have to find a place where you can be cared for. I can't keep selling flowers on the street with you," Johanne gazed lovingly at her baby when suddenly, there was a knock on her door. She peered out the window to see who it was – a man in a suit and tie with a briefcase and some documents in his hands. She opened the door immediately."Yes, please, how can I help you?""Are you Johanne Willys?""Yes, that's me. Who are you?" The man approached and handed her a document to sign, confirm
Johanne finally accepted Edward's offer, and in two days, she returned to the mansion, nervous about not knowing what she would face again. The salary she would receive would help improve her life, so she wouldn't think twice about it."Well, Johanne, thank you for coming back. From now on, I'll be returning to the mansion later; I have too much pending work and haven't been able to concentrate enough.""Don't worry, sir, I understand. I'll try to do everything possible to make sure Jhin is well.""Thank you, Johanne. I may arrive late tonight; I have an important meeting. But as soon as I put Jhin to bed, you can go to your home. My driver can take you." She had practically moved in at the shelter out of necessity, and she was embarrassed for him to find out."Don't worry; I'll take a taxi.""You don't have to expose yourself. The driver will take you. Just around 8 o'clock, you can leave. I'll pay for his overtime." Edward wanted her to feel comfortable in her job, not just for Jhin
After the meeting with the lawyer, the Collen brothers arrived at the mansion. When Johanne saw Bruno, she shuddered; the memories of the hardships he had put her through had not faded from her mind."You're back, Johanne! I hope you won't make the Georgee mistakes with my nephew this time," Bruno couldn't stop looking her up and down, and his eyes still held that obsessive feeling for her."Did you already know the nanny?" Angie intervened."Yes, I already knew her. What I don't understand is why my perfect little brother rehired her if he had fired her for a mistake," Bruno couldn't help but be sarcastic."Alright, both of you, quiet!" Edward intervened. "She's here solely to care for my son, Johanne will take care of Jhin and has no other role in this house. She's also here with her little child, so I demand that you do not interfere with her in any way."When Edward spoke those words, Johanne's expression changed completely. She felt like her boss was offering her some protection
Johanne had to return to the foundation where she was staying with her little son. She hadn't received her first payment yet to find a place to live, so for now, she would have to make do with staying there. Even though she had a room just for herself and her baby, she didn't feel entirely comfortable. Despite her efforts to be a strong woman for herself and her son, these little things still made her feel depressed. As she went out for dinner, she ran into her good friend Rachell. They had become close friends during the time Johanne had to sell flowers on the street, and Rachell had been an unwavering source of support."Johanne! How are you? Darling, you have no idea how much we miss you at the traffic light. Sales haven't been the Georgee since you left. Hey, how's it going at the millionaire's mansion? I imagine it's good because just having that handsome guy as your boss is the best thing that could happen to you, babe," Rachell said as Johanne tried to smile."Well, as far as M
Upon arriving at the mansion, Edward gets out of the car. First, he goes to the back and takes Angel, who is in the baby seat, then he goes and opens the door to Johanne's seat."Come on, it's getting late," she sits there, watching the tenderness with which he carries his little son in his arms. Jhin was fortunate to have a father like Edward."Sir, I really don't understand why I'm here right now; I feel very embarrassed about it.""Look, Johanne, you work in my house, and you're the one responsible for taking care of my son. Honestly, if it weren't for that, you'd be out there with your friend, the bad influence, dancing with strangers while your child is alone in the midst of people..." Edward's voice grew thicker, and his gestures showed his anger."Sara is not a bad influence, she was just helping me with Angel, that's all." Johanne gets out of the car and feels the ground sway beneath her feet. She's dizzy and needs to lie down for a bit."Sir, please, let me help you with Ange
The next day and with a slight hangover Johanne get up, she had not slept very well, her head was spinning, but also her heart, because not a single second had passed in which she had not thought of Edward. She goes to the bathroom and washes her face and teeth, puts a ponytail in her hair and goes straight to the kitchen to prepare her baby's bottle, it wouldn't take long, she would finish resting at the foundation. As she goes downstairs, she notices that the dining room is almost ready for breakfast, Jhin is already ready to eat at his usual booth, and there were two more booths set up, she figures it's for Edward's brothers, when suddenly he appears. “Miss Johanne, did you sleep well?” Edward comes out of the kitchen, his face was tenderly happy, he had a tray in his hands full of food, it smelled delicious. “Sir, good morning," she gave him a small smile, she was still embarrassed, "yes, I slept well, thank you," she lied to him. “Lily! What are you doing here, did you sleep h
Angie, upon seeing Johanne come out of the kitchen, feels a sense of satisfaction. She imagined that she had humiliated Johanne, and she couldn't understand why she enjoyed it. From the first day she saw Johanne, she knew she didn't like her."What the hell is this, you idiot?" Angie's face turns red when she sees what Johanne has brought her. Edward just holds his head."It's your breakfast, Miss Collen," Johanne looks at her defiantly."This is undercooked, look, the bread is still in the bag, and the tea is cold. Is your servant mocking me?""No, of course not, Miss Collen. I just don't know how to cook, and I wasn't hired for that.""Edward! Are you going to let your servant mock me like this? I'm your sister, the daughter of your mother and father. How can you allow this stupid girl to do this to me?""I'm sorry, Angie, she's right. She wasn't hired to cook."When Angie hears his words, she takes the pan with the raw eggs and approaches Johanne. In front of everyone, she pours th
"Johanne! Please wait, we need to talk," Edward arrives at the room where Johanne had spent the night.Her eyes were filled with tears, but her pride remained intact. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry over what had happened."Mr. Edward, I know you must be upset about what happened, but you must have noticed how things unfolded."Johanne heads to the bathroom; she had decided to simply remove the egg from her face and leave. She couldn't stand another minute in the mansion."Why do you always resort to violence? That's how it ended with Margarita too." Edward's accusatory words hit Johanne's ears like a hammer."What?! So, I'm supposed to allow them to do whatever they please to me and react in the best way possible, right? No, Mr. Edward, you're mistaken. Do you know what? If you want to fire me like the last time, go ahead, but I won't submit to such humiliations."Johanne stands defiantly in front of him."Johanne, please, it's not about that. I'm not going t
