Michael's face was a study in fury and rage throughout the plane. Assistant Parker was at a loss to explain the sudden change in his boss. This is not the first time seeing him that way, his boss is a psycho and an irascible person, but him getting angry is always with his wife at most times.So what could have gone wrong?Something must have happened, but what? Assistant Parker racked his brain, trying to figure it out.Then it dawned on him - the picture. Michael had seen something in that picture that had set him off. Assistant Parker couldn't imagine what it could be, but he was determined to find out what is wrong with that picture. But wait, is his anger directed to their new opponent, or the beautiful girl beside him?Is his boss in love with the girl in picture? Maybe he met her in a club or whatsoever - that couldn't be. It might be the former, her boss hate promiscuity.The driver came and they boarded the car dropping his thoughts at the airport."Penthouse or Company?" T
She thought he was going to kiss her as she placed his lips closer to her, and yes he was going to. She widened her eyes, and placed her palm on his protruded mouth."So you like him kissing you, right? You are used to him kissing you, and dare to reject your husband." He said seethingly and shook his head. He grabbed his coat, keys, and walked out of the living room. She heard the door slammed as he left and she heard the car zoomed off out of the compound. She slumped on the chair, tired, weak and exhausted. She wondered what she saw in him and decided to agree to her marriage with him. She smiled bitterly and she wanted to cry.She slept off on the chair, and could sleep as she woke up in the middle of the night, due to bad dreams. She decided to began searching for anyone putting their office for sale.Around 6:46, she realized she slept off and woke up. She stood up and went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of drink from the freezer. She gulped a cup of the drink and belched. H
Helen was never her friend, when they were still young. Helen always wanted Michael's attention, while he never gave her that. Helen is the only daughter of her rich parent, just like her, just that her grandmother and Naomi were friends. That was why she was allowed to play in the Sean's Family Mansion when she was small."Hello grandpa." She greeted the Old man Sean who smiled at her. She knew the man never liked her, he thought she was not capable for his grandson."Hello Helen." She finally greeted Helen and sat on the chair.She was shocked that Naomi could Invite even family and friends over a mere Miso soup. She never expected this huge of relatives coming. She saw the younger brother of Michael's dad, with his wife, who was glaring at her like a witch. She wasn't surprised, both husband and wife never liked their nephew, which is Michael and she couldn't forget how they used her to go against the Sean family."Hello, Uncle Desmond. Auntie Lucy." She greeted them and the man pl
Bella hurried to the living room and opened the door as the doorbell rang. She was relieved to see Ethan standing there, and she couldn't help but smile.Ethan took in the luxurious surroundings of the living room and was impressed by the simple yet elegant décor."Wow, your husband has good taste," he commented."Yes, he does," Bella replied, but her smile seemed a bit sad. She was eager to change the subject. "Did you get the medicine?"Ethan who noticed not anything, nodded and handed her the bag."Thank you." She said, smiling genuinely as she collected the bag. "You're very welcome," Ethan replied, noticing the gratitude in her voice."You can sit down," Bella offered, gesturing to the sofa. Ethan took a seat and felt the tension in the air. It was strange how different things were between them now. Back in China, they were so close. Now, it felt like they were worlds apart.Well, she is happily married, he thought.Bella seemed lost in thought, her gaze fixed on the floor. Etha
Michael worked late into the night, his anger fueling his productivity. He didn't even notice how exhausted he was, and his assistant Parker looked absolutely dead on his feet."Get me Guevara's file, Parker," Michael barked, his voice harsh with frustration. Parker stifled a yawn as he handed the file over, his eyes heavy with fatigue."Give Mr. Gilbert a call," Michael said firmly. "Tell him that the company needs him to be ready for an upcoming attack. And make sure he knows that he has to follow our instructions." Assistant Parker nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Do you need me to add anything else?"Michael asked.Assistant Parker nodded, but then his eyes widened as he realized what he had just agreed to. He looked up at the clock and saw that it was 2 a.m. "Uh, boss," he stammered. "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, sir," he said. "Mr. Gilbert is probably asleep. Should I really wake him up?""Yes, Parker, and make it snappy," Michael snapped. "Or do you want
Michael stormed into his office, fuming from the phone call he had just had with his grandmother.Mandy, and Parker, both looked at him in confusion, wondering what had happened."Why are you guys still here?" he snapped. "Don't you have your own offices?"Parker nodded his head, looking cowed by Michael's anger, while Mandy felt hurt by his harsh words. She turned and walked out of the office, fuming.Michael turned and saw that Parker was still there. He yelled, "What about you? You don't have your own office, do you? Get your filthy body out of my office!"Parker quickly left, muttering profanities under his breath. The other workers outside couldn't help but laugh, but they also wondered what was wrong with Michael. This kind of outburst was nothing new to them - their boss had a bad temper and was often angry.Parker went to the restroom to clean himself up, then returned to Michael's office with a big smile."I was waiting for you," Michael said, grabbing his coat. "You can fini
As Bella scrolled through her computer screen, looking for a place to open a shop, she felt a surge of excitement. She had been dreaming of opening her own business for years, and now it was finally becoming a reality. Just as she was about to click on a promising-looking listing, her phone rang.The caller ID showed a number she didn't recognize, but she answered anyway. "Hello?" she said, her voice shaking slightly."Hello, Bella," a pleasant female voice said. "I heard you're looking for a place to open a shop. Is that right?"Bella was taken aback. How did this person know what she was doing? She hadn't told anyone about her plans. "I...yes, that's right," she said, her voice still quivering. "But...how did you know that?""Weren't you the one that paste it that you need a shop." the lady asked, her tone confused. "Oh, yes. It's me. Becca?" She asked."Of course, I am. I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you interested in a space that is already set up for a shop, or would y
"Yes Mandy, your girlfriend." she said."What has Mandy got to do with our issues, Bella?" He said, his eyes reddened."Oh! Me? I didn't say it has any issue. The problem is you and you alone." She spat."Don't tell me you are jealous?" He smirked, walking towards her in heavy steps and she also took the same steps back."I am not jealous. Why would I be jealous of that girl, Michael. She is your lover after all-" she hasn't finished when he sighed in frustration."Don't say the word 'lover', because I don't have anything as such." He spat, untying his tie in anger. "I heard you went home, why didn't you tell me that grandma told us to come?" He asked."I don't expect you to know, because you were with your lover.""Bella." He yelled in frustration. Why are you making a bug deal out of this? Remember we are divorcing in the next three months. Don't catch feelings okay." He spat.Bella was hurt by his statement but she pretended it didn't hurt, and smiled sadly to him."Wow! Who said I
Michael folded his arms and leaned against the wall. His expression was unreadable, but there was a storm brewing in his eyes.Bella stared at him, her face flushed. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed by her own behavior. "I... I heard that car. Who's driving it now?" she asked, trying to break the tension."I knew you wouldn't come out of your room unless I left, so I called my assistant, Parker, to come and take my car away," Michael said, his voice cold. "At least, you would think I've gone."Bella felt a stab of embarrassment in her heart.Bella tried to play it cool, but her face was flushed with embarrassment. She pretended not to care as she said, "Oh, who cares?" and took a bite of her bread.Michael let out a scoff and walked over to her, snatching the bread from her hand and tossing it away. "Expired," he said, his voice flat.Bella stared at him, wide-eyed. She opened her mouth to protest, but nothing came out. The humiliation was too much."Where are the ma
