**Thelma**"Said what?" Steven asked me again, and I shook my head as I contemplated telling him the truth: that the man I had slept with was drugged to sleep with me, and he was very angry to find me in his bed the following morning."Thelma..." Steven called my attention again, and I replied, "I mean, I don't know his name, brother, but can you tell Dad that I need some time to get over the man I had a one-night stand with before marriage?""No, Thelma, that's only if you know the name of the man you slept with. Maybe Dad can consider you marrying him instead of Felix. So do you remember his name now or what his butler called him?" Steven asked me, and I shook my head, replying, "No. I only remember the butler's name, Sir Adam.""Adam what?" Steven asked seriously, looking at my face, but I didn’t know."Hmm, that is okay, sister. I've already convinced Dad to allow you to do your internship with MW Group, and you know why the group is called MW, right?" Steven asked me again, but I
**Thelma**I woke up late at night in my bedroom, the sound of knocking on my door jolting me from sleep.I stood up from my bed and walked to my room door to find out who was there, as sleep was far from my eyes.I approached the door and pulled it open to see my mother standing there. She frowned at me as I stepped aside to let her enter my bedroom."Good evening, Mom," I greeted her as I finally shut the door and turned to face her. She asked, "Thelma, didn't I tell you to remind me today that we would be going to the hospital? I totally forgot due to my disagreement with your father about having you betrothed to Felix. And you didn’t even come to remind me; why, Thelma?"I frowned and replied, "Mom, I told you I'm fine, and I can't remember anything wrong with me or about the man.""I know, Thelma, and I'm not disputing that with you, but just for safety measures, I think it is best that you stop by Doctor Amari's office tomorrow evening after you close from work. You need to meet
**Thelma**"No, I cannot go. Please let me stay," I begged him, but he moved away from me and walked back to his seat. He didn't look back at me.I immediately rushed up to meet him and begged, "Please, sir. You cannot send me away; I really want to do my internship here!""No, Thelma! I cannot let you work here, as I cannot stand seeing you every day in my company. So get out," he said, his voice cold and mean. I shivered away from him, as he was practically sending me out of his office.I broke out into sobs and replied, "No."He swiftly turned around to face me again, anger filling his eyes. He pinned me to his desk and asked coldly, "Are you sure that you still want to work here with me? And under my watchful gaze too?"I didn't know how to respond, my lips trembling to speak, but then his sinful lips brushed against mine. He kissed me so passionately that I was left breathless before our lips separated.I looked at him in confusion just as his office door pushed open, and a woman
**Thelma**I stepped out of the elevator with the security guard, and we walked into another section of transparent offices.I could see the company staff busy behind their desks, typing on their keyboards, and I silently followed the security guard as we walked and stopped in front of another office door.He knocked and entered the office. As I stood outside waiting for him to step out, he didn’t tell me to follow him inside.I watched him speak to the lady behind the desk, and she looked up at me.The security guard finally stepped out of the office again and said to me, "You can go inside and see her.""Okay, sir, thank you," I replied, and the security guard left.I knocked on the office door again and walked into the transparent glass office. I could see that most of the offices around me had transparent glass walls separating them.I stood nervously in front of the office desk and waited for the woman to finish what she was typing on her computer, as she looked to be about my mot
**Thelma.**Mrs. Elena Brown quickly composed herself when she heard that their boss was around, and she told Mrs. Tonia, who was busy clicking on her keyboard, "Well, since you said the boss is around, this is Thelma Sabastain, and she's a new intern here with us. Mr. Henry Black is busy attending now, to her for her interview, so let her meet with the boss directly instead, and I can finally post her to the section where she will work."Mrs. Tonia stopped clicking on her computer and stared at my face. She asked, "Why did she arrive late? I’m aware that Henry interviewed the rest of the new interns here with us today. Well, let her wait aside, as I have to prepare for the boss's appointments first. Because as soon as the meeting with the members ends, some of them will be here to see the boss," Mrs. Tonia Briggs said, shifting her gaze back to her computer and resuming her clicking.Mrs. Elena Brown stared at me and said, "I'm so sorry, Thelma. I have to go now, but once you’ve seen
**Thelma.**"Umm..." before I could speak, Mrs. Tonia looked at me and said into the telephone line, "Boss, a new internship student is here to see you for her interview.""Okay, boss," Mrs. Tonia responded. I didn't know what their boss had said to her. She dropped the phone, looked up at all of us standing in her office, and noticed that we numbered about twelve, suffocating her as she was sweating despite the air conditioning running in her transparent glass office.Mrs. Tonia Briggs looked at me again and said, "You can go in now to meet with our boss.""Okay," I gulped, and Mr. Richard Ruben finally released my left hand warmly.I was extremely nervous as I walked out of Mrs. Tonia's office with all the men in the transparent glass office staring at me. I made my way toward the office door that I had seen the previous man in the yellow suit step out of.I wasn't walking fast, and it felt like all the murmuring and noise from the men in Mrs. Tonia Briggs' office had diminished. My
**Mavin.**I had woken up in my bedroom and prepared to leave for the office, as it was a brand new week, and Sir Adam hadn't gotten any full information on who the young lady was, except for the fact that she was Conrad Sabastain's daughter.I frowned, as I hadn't thought of myself having anything to do with my enemy's daughter.I proceeded to put on my black coat after finishing my bath, and then I went downstairs to meet Angela, who was arranging the dining room with two maids. My mansion was dead silent.I approached the dining table, and Angela greeted me, "Good morning, boss.""Morning, Angela. Where's Grandpa Charlie?" I asked as I stood beside a chair and rolled up my white sleeves.I didn't bother to spare a glance at Angela; the reason I employed mature women was that I didn't have time for any young women.I would have preferred it if only men worked in my mansion, but I didn't want the media to rumor that I'm a gay man—whereas I'm not."Grandpa Charlie is in his bedroom; he
**Mavin.**I was seated in my office, speaking to one of my top new clients who had left the meeting hall a while ago to come and speak with me. He knew that once the meeting ended at 1 p.m., many members would arrive on the fourth floor wanting to see me in my office.I noticed that Henry had increased our new percentage shares as I had ordered him to, since many new companies wanted to partner with us and have my company promote their brands as well.I no longer accepted a 50-50 percentage share, so I told Henry to increase the percentage shares to 20-80%. This meant that any new company wanting to partner with us would only receive 20% of the revenue profit from our promotion supporting their company’s growth and establishment, while my company would take 80%. However, not all of these new companies wanted to agree to it.I mainly increased the shares like this to reduce the number of new companies that were coming to disturb me in my company. They now wanted to partner with us due
