Dressed in a black jumpsuit, with her hair tied in a bun, Angel looked nothing short of a boss, which she believed she was. On the other side of the table where Finn sat across from her, he had a smirk on his face as he believed that she was going to leave in tears at the end of the day. The eight board members in attendance all sat as well. Angel recalled the assurance she had received from the most senior member of the board who had called her the previous day, but did not want to rely on it. She was ready to sue them all if they tried to go against what her mom had stated in her will. Morever, the look on Finn's face told her that he had played some underhanded tricks and the results would be in his favor. Nevertheless, she waited quietly for everything to unfold. The most senior member of the board began to speak, informing everyone that the meeting was going to last for less than thirty minutes since the only agenda was chosing the right CEO for the company. After the man
On his way back to his office, Ashton called his assistant to find out about the employment of Pamela. Since Sarah had said she was a blabber mouth and he had also confirmed it, judging by how she exposed Percy before him, he realized it was a bad idea to let her work in the same department with Percy. It was important for Percy not to know that he had given Pamela a job, that way, it would be easier for him to deal with her. His assistant told him, "Sir, you said to give her a good position, so I made her one of your secretaries." "That's nice," Ashton replied. "What you should do for me now is transfer her to a different branch of our company. If she needs to report to me, she can do it by mail, or she can report directly to you." "Okay, Sir," his assistant replied. After taking care of that, he went up to his office, took out his phone and called Percy. She had been wondering when Ashton was going to come back from where he went to, and when she would have an opport
Angel arrived at Alex's company and went to his secretary's desk, to ask for permission to see him. "Does he have an appointment with you?" The secretary asked. "No," Angel responded. "Well, if he's not expecting you, I'm afraid I can't let you see him." Hearing the secretary's words, Angel implored, "See, it's supposed to be a surprise. A pleasant surprise, trust me he'll be very pleased. I'm sure you remember me, I've been here before. Alex and I have a good relationship. I just want to surprise him." The secretary refused, "No, I'm sorry I can't do that. I just have to follow this company's protocol." Angel sighed and blamed herself, "I should've just prepared a different surprise for him. How else am I supposed to surprise him?" In the end, she gave up and sniffed, "You know what, I'll just call him." She took out her phone and was about to dial his number, when the secretary stopped her, "Okay, hold on. The truth is that I remember you and I know he was happy
Percy stood outside Ashton's office, calling Sarah's number, but Sarah refused to pick her calls. She continued to try until she heard Ashton's footsteps coming from behind her. She quickly disappeared from there and went back to her office. She paced up and down, thinking about what to do and decided she was going to follow Ashton and see what he and Sarah were up to. When Ashton got into his car and began to drive, she got into hers too and started to follow him. When he noticed she was following him, he shook his head and smiled. Meanwhile, Sarah called Ashton while he was on his way and said, "Percy has been calling me. What do you think is going to happen if she finds out that we're not meeting for any date?" Ashton hummed, "I guess we'd have to meet up. Initially, the plan was just to push her buttons, so when she sees you tomorrow in my company, she'd go crazy. Who would've thought that she was desperate enough to chase after me? This is what you're going to do;
As she drove away, Sarah could not stop smiling. Although she felt bad about hitting Percy, she had done it because it was part of the plan and she knew Ashton was happy about it. What made her more happy was the fact that Ashton had kissed her. Although she knew it meant nothing to him, it did not change the way she felt, especially since she did not intend for Ashton to ever find out about how she felt. When she got home, she parked her car, got out, and admired it for a while before she began walking to the house. Ashton had told her that she did not need to return the car, as long as she acted her part well, she could keep it as a souvenir. "Why is he so nice to me?" She wondered as she began to open the door. Right at that moment, someone snuck up on her and covered her mouth from behind. She tried to scream and fight him off but ended up fainting. The man carried her unconscious body, dumped it inside his car, and drove away. On the way, he called a lady and said, "
Percy paced up and down her room, as she waited for good news from the people she had hired. After waiting for a while, she finally received a call from the leader of the men who told her, "Unfortunately, I have bad news." "What happened? You didn't get her?" She asked. "When we arrived at her house, we found her door locked. We broke in and searched the house, but there was no one inside." The man explained. "What? So where could she be?" Percy asked anxiously. "I saw her drive away. Where else would she go if not her house? I know for a fact that she went home. Or could she have gone to the hospital? You know what, go to the hospital and look for her. If you do not see her, take her Mom. I'm going to send you her Mom's picture, coupled with her name and the ward she's in. I'm sure Sarah is there, but if you can't find her, bring her Mom. If you find both Sarah and her mom, bring both of them. No matter what, I want them." The man assured her that it would be done i
Angel moved away from Alex's arms, glaring at him while he had a pleasant expression on his face. The girl who had introduced herself as his girlfriend was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Angel. However, Angel caught her hand and pushed it away. Afterward, Angel turned and walked out of the office. "Hold on!" Alex said as he tried to go after Angel, but the girl grabbed his hand and pulled him back. "What are you doing? Why are you doing this, Alex? You know how much you mean to me and you know how much my father values you because of that. Do you want to ruin everything you've worked for up until now?" He sighed, "C'mon, Christy. Read the writing on the wall, 'I am not into you'. You've always claimed that you and I are dating, but I've never asked you out. I've never accepted to be your boyfriend and I've never accepted to marry you. Stop trying to ruin my love life and going around telling people we're dating." She scoffed, "Really? You didn't have a
The moment Alex showed up in front of the room which had been left open, Finn and Tracy stared at him in shock. Seeing Angel on the ground, weak and about to be fed poison, Alex lost it and charged towards Finn and Tracy. At that moment, Finn tried to forcefully feed the poison to Angel so she would die before Alex could intervene. However, Alex kicked the poison off his hand, and it fell to the ground. Tracy picked up the same weapon she had used on Angel, ready to strike it against Alex, but he punched her face before she could, and she moved backward, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness. Finn attacked Alex and tried to fight him, but he was no match for him. Eventually, he ended up on the floor too, just like Tracy had done. Alex's heart was beating so fast as he held Angel in his arms and shook her, "Angel, Angel, are you okay?" She stared at him with a dizzy expression, "Thank you." Hands shaking, Alex took out his phone from his pocket and quickly called t
