I have finally accepted that I wouldn't be the one to marry Mr Drew and I'm happy for my sister. I want the celebration to take place as quickly as possible, father."Adele's statement did not only shock Mr Thom but also Mirabelle, she was awed at Adele's acting prowess. Why didn't she join the movie industry? She would be the best actress of all time!Although surprised, he didn't reply immediately. He looked intently at Adele, gauging her expression as if wanting to read through her thoughts."I'm happy you've finally understood why I didn't want you to marry that psychopath. You've finally grown and can now understand situations, that's good." He nodded but Adele wasn't pleased with her father's words. She held on the hem of her dress tightly so that her anger wouldn't show on her face.Psychopath?! He is not who you think he is, urghh!"Your idea sounds great too. The
"Look at that. Mirabelle, don't you agree that my father is such a hardworking man?"Adele spoke and held a proud smile, her words brought the attention of both men on them. But the person whom the question was directed at was lost in her own world. Mirabelle held a dreamy look and her eyes that were glued on the man who stood beside the CEO's table were filled with unspoken emotions. Obviously infatuation. –Author rolls her eyes–The man Mirabelle was staring at shamelessly, undressing him with her eyes, was Matthew Edgerly, Mr Thom's personal assistant.He was a tall man with a nice build, shoulder length strawberry blonde hair which he swept to the back, making his chiseled face more prominent.His voice was deep and he spoke smoothly that Mirabelle felt like she should swallow his mouth whole. In a few words, Matthew was sexy and Mirabelle was obviously hooked. She wanted him.The urge of having him to herself had her clenching her hands and thighs together, to calm herself down.
Mirabelle felt her insides churn the moment they arrived at Cintron's company. She quickly got out of the car and she thought she would throw up everything inside her, but thankfully, she didn't."Hey, that's so much of a ride. We could have died." Mirabelle gasped as she threw an accusatory look at Adele."My apologies that I'm not sorry. Maybe next time you could use your own car." Adele had her brows raised in nonchalance which had Mirabelle snorting in disbelief."I bet you don't know how ugly you look with your bish attitude towards me. For the love of God, am your one and only bestie." She pointed her index finger towards herself as if the whole world had wronged her."And that's why I'm lovingly being honest with you. If you're going to keep sulking, then just shut up." Adele spoke to have Mirabelle roll her eyes upwards and they both stepped into the building.They didn't have to go through any formal process to gain entrance into the building because everyone in the company,
Justin didn't protest to Drew's words, he was more than happy to abide by whatever Drew requested him to do but the same could not be said for Natalie. Her face crumbled the moment Drew stopped them from entering the backseat, he gestured for her to go to the front passenger seat beside Justin."Why should I sit there when I am your guest? Don't tell me you don't know how to treat people right." Natalie widened her eyes at Drew in anger and disbelief. She was really getting fed up at how she was being treated today and how Drew was behaving towards her. Nobody had ever dared to embarrass her to this much extent, she was being treated with respect wherever she went and she was finding Drew's attitude towards her very insultive.But Drew was the least bothered. "Ms Madison, if you have no interest in accompanying us for breakfast then you can leave rather than disrupt our time." Drew said dryly without sparing her a glance. Knowing that if she kept arguing with Drew it would change n
"I still can't hear you." There was a devilish grin on Drew's face and Adaline wanted to so much punch his face so hard that those smiles would disappear."I said I want them to join us." She repeated and Drew silently stared at her. His hands were still around her waist and he could feel how soft and small she was in his hands. Drew was elated that Adaline spoke to him. Her voice was soft and melodious, he could kill to hear her speak to him. Drew felt Adaline struggle in his hold."No." His voice was firm and Adaline didn't know what he said the no for. Was the no for her struggling to leave his grasp or for her words. She stopped struggling and tilted her head with a frown."They won't come. It's just the both of us and I am trying to make up for not being present yesterday." Drew spoke with a frown. He wasn't present yesterday but when he arrived at night, he saw her sleeping soundlessly on his bed. After helping her change from her uncomfortable dress in the dark room, he slept r
Drew was taken aback by Adaline's gesture. He stiffened and finally relaxed when she patted his chest. Is she trying to calm me down? Drew asked himself in inward amusement and he felt satisfied."Am fine." Drew whispered but Adaline still stood where she was and didn't move. She also didn't know why she suddenly leaned close to Drew and patted his chest but it happened even before she could comprehend it. But it doesn't look so bad. She thought back at what Natalie said to Drew, though she was in full support of his decision, she didn't think this was the right time. Judging from what she heard and understood from Natalie, there could be a consequences for Drew if he left Natalie like that when she came to see him, probably for business related things.Adaline wasn't into business like her father, but she knew how this things work. The business world was filled with people who hated to be dominated by another yet they still desire to dominate another to rise to the top. And she knew
Few seconds ran by with Adaline’s hand still stretched out towards Drew. Though Drew was still delaying, there was no backing down for Adaline. She was determined to show her appreciation, this was the least she could do. Everyone’s eyes were still glued on the two people who stood staring at each other where the other had her hands stretched out. The secretary was already scoffing at Adaline because she already guessed that Mr Drew would never accept her handshake.He never did to anyone irrelevant and this Ms right now was irrelevant. Though the secretary had no idea why Adaline was here, but she already concluded she was one of those whores seeking favours from rich men. She was indeed irrelevant. How pitiful.Drew stared down at Adaline’s small hands that was stretched out towards him. He already knew it was her way of showing his appreciation and it warmed his heart. All the past few years he knew her and was secretly watching her, he never once saw her interact with any other pe
"Howdy Ms Natalie."Justin broke the silence by greeting Natalie who still had her eyes glued on Adaline. She smiled at Justin and waved at him. Drew who had been glaring at Justin that if his eyes were to be a gun, Justin would have received series of shots finally spoke up."Justin? What are you doing? Ms Adaline was supposed to wait for me."There was heavy load of irritation very evident in Drew's voice. But Justin wasn't bothered at all, instead he said."I found it heartless to leave the pretty lady all by herself. She has been waiting for you since yesterday, don't you think it's unfair to have her wait again?"Justin was obviously poking at Drew as usual and he enjoyed seeing the heavy irritation in Drew. Actually, Justin had arrived here since long ago. He over heard half of Drew's conversation with Natalie and he quickly rushed back to get Adaline. Though he found Adaline's dressing amusing, he was satisfied with it. And the moment the both of them came back to where Natalie
With an air of charisma. Drew walked out of the office and to his secretary's table were the lady was said to await him. He honestly wasn't surprised. Seeing his father's surprised visit today, Drew already got an inkling that his father would pull some strings. Everything that concerns Drew Euston was purely business, even if it was simply a lunch date or tea party, it was always business and the same could be told about the person who was waiting for him. If he rejected meeting with the woman, his father would conclude he was incompetent and would rub it on his face even though it was simply something so minor. He didn't want to give his father any reason to do such.Drew arrived at his secretary's desk and from where he stood, he could already see the lady sitting while waiting for him. At first glance, he recognized the lady. She was one of his international business partners, a strong and important one at that. From what he knew, she was supposed to be in Japan at the moment, did
