Jude let out a nervous chuckle. "You can't be serious. It's too early to make such a joke," he said, shaking his head ."I'm serious," replied Gina ."Collaborating with Demsel Agency has been your dream. And now that you have the opportunity, you are refusing. What's wrong with you?" Jude asked, the frustration evident in his tone."Collaborating with Demsel Agency was my dream, but it's not anymore," Gina explained. "Jennifer would probably be interested in the collaboration. You can give her my spot.""Demsel Agency doesn't need Jennifer, they need you!" Jude insisted, turning to Melody. "Why are you so quiet? Talk some sense into her," he urged, hoping for support ."Gina," Melody began to speak, but Gina swiftly cut her off."My mind is already made up. Have a nice day," Gina tersely stated before leaving the office, leaving Jude and Melody staring after her in disbelief. Jude's face darkened, his expression twisted in ire. "Nice day," Jude repeated sarcastically. "My day has
Stanford corporation.Serena reached for a file from Anita's outstretched hand, her eyes scanning the contents as she asked, " Have DS Enterprise sent the contract?" "Unfortunately, it hasn't been sent yet." Anita hesitated before continuing, "I can follow up with them immediately."Frowning Serena muttered" How much longer do I have to wait for the contract" Serena looked intently at Anita and added ."Inform them that if the contract isn't drafted and sent to me within the next 15 minutes, we will consider it null and void." She tapped her pen on the desk, emphasizing the deadline."Okay, ma'am" Anita nodded, her fingers flying across her notebook as she jotted the message down .

Rick returned to the mansion, his sweat-drenched clothes clinging to his body, evidence of the intense morning jog he had just finished. As he climbed the stairs to his room, the cool, refreshing air still invigorated him, lingering in his lungs. Although the run had temporarily eased the turmoil brewing inside him, Rick knew the calm was fleeting. Now, Rick yearned for a soothing, warm bath to unwind, followed by a nice nap. Rick grabbed the doorknob and pushed open the door, his gaze fell on Gina, sitting at his dressing table, her reflection staring back at him from the mirror like a haunting specter. Her carefree humming and the soft strokes of her hairbrush seemed to mock him. His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched, and his face reddened with rage as he slammed the door behind him. "Why are you here?!" Rick thundered, his voice like a crack of lightning, shaking the room with its intensity. His eyes blazing with fury. But Gina didn't flinch, not even a little bit. She cont
The doctor handed Serena Archer the pregnancy result with a warm smile. "Congratulations Mrs Archer. You are six weeks pregnant," he said, his voice filled with genuine happiness. Tears of joy prickled down Serena's eyes as she took the result in her hands. She had been eagerly waiting for this news for a while, and it finally came at last. "Thank you, doctor. I will take my leave now," Serena said, still feeling a little dazed. She left the doctor's office, feeling a sense of elation that she had never experienced before. Serena couldn't wait to share the news with Rick, her beloved husband. A baby in their lives would make their love even stronger, and she was thrilled to start this new journey together. Serena hailed a yellow cab and instructed the driver to take her to the Archer Mansion. As she settled into the back seat, she closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh. Her mind wandered to the thought of Rick's face lighting up when he learns that he is going to be a father. The m
Serena woke up the next morning feeling jolted out of her sleep, her mind still clouded with the events of the previous day. She rubbed her eyes and looked around, hoping that it was all just a terrible nightmare, but her eyes immediately fell on the divorce papers lying on her bedside table. The sight of them brought her back to the harsh reality that her marriage was on the rocks.Despite the overwhelming sense of despair that threatened to consume her, Serena couldn't help but cling to a faint glimmer of hope. She had been with Rick for three years, and in that time, he had showered her with love and affection. She had seen the way he looked at her, with eyes brimming with tenderness and devotion. She refused to believe that he could just throw everything away in a single day.Serena was convinced that Rick still loved her, even if he was unable to see it himself. She knew that he was struggling with unresolved feelings for his ex, but she refused to give up on their marriage. Sere
With her luggage trailing behind her, Serena stepped out of the Archer mansion and into the blinding sunlight. As Serena made her way down the path, memories of her time with Rick rushed through her mind, causing hot tears to spill down her face. It was still so difficult to comprehend that the three years she had spent with him, a time she had believed was filled with love and happiness, had come to an abrupt and painful end. Every step Serena took away from the mansion felt like a step away from the life she had known, and her heart ached with the weight of what she had lost.Serena took a final glance back only to realize that the mansion was no longer visible. She was alone, lost and thoughts of her impending motherhood began to flood her mind. She had been abandoned by the only person she thought she could rely on, and now she was left to face the world alone, with a baby on th e way.Serena couldn't help but feel that this was not how she had envisaged her future. Serena wiped a
As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the sprawling estate, two luxurious Mercedes-Benz cars pulled up to the grand Stanford's mansion. The cars were impeccably clean and polished, and their sleek lines shimmered in the fading light. Two imposing bodyguards emerged from the first cars, and with a brisk nod to each other, they made their way to the last car. The car's door opened with a soft hiss, revealing Marcus and a Serena. “We're finally home," Marcus said, his voice tinged with a hint of excitement. Serena, on the other hand, was visibly anxious, nervously rubbing her hand. Sensing her apprehension, Marcus took her hand in his and spoke confidently, "It's gonna be okay. Dad isn't angry anymore." With a deep breath and a forced smile, Serena tried to calm her nerves as they both emerged from the car.The sound of their footsteps echoed through the entrance hall. The opulence of the surroundings was overwhelming, with intricate chandeliers an
Serena slowly opened her eyes to the sound of birds chirping and the gentle light that filtered through her window. As she yawned and stretched her body, she felt the warmth of the sun on her skin. Sitting up in bed, she took a moment to let her eyes adjust to the brightness of the morning light. Feeling rejuvenated, Serena got up from her bed and walked over to the window. She drew back the curtain, allowing the fresh morning breeze to fill her room. As she took in the beautiful scenery outside, she felt a sense of peace and tranquility wash over her. The world seemed to come alive around her, and she couldn't help but smile at the beauty of it all. Serena made her way back to her bed and plopped down wearily, reaching for the TV remote. She aimlessly flipped channels, trying to find something to distract her from the events of the day. Suddenly, a news anchor's voice caught her attention and she stopped changing channels. The anchor's tone was excited as he announced, "Georgina Spa
