Jane’s POVAs soon as I finished my work in the flower shop, I went back to the Geelq company to fetch my Eugene. Secretary Byron gave me a fake ID to wear so I can disguise myself as one of the employees.“Miss Jane, I am sorry that we are using the main hallway. Something went wrong with the elevator we took this morning. So, they are currently fixing it,” Byron apologized.I waved my hands mid-air and said, “No. It’s alright. I’m fine walking.”“But I am sure they will fix it soon. We can use it on our way back.”“Right. Thanks.”I continued following Byron’s tail here in the hallway of the company. There were many employees around the building and they were busy on their own so no one gave me any attention. And that’s for the better.While walking in silence, I fell into deep thoughts again.Since this morning, I couldn’t stop thinking about Eric’s fiancee, Haidee Wren.‘Pretty, kind and elegant.’ This is how I describe her.I have nothing against the woman whom Eric will marry so
When the door of the office opened, Eugene’s eyes brightened. He missed his mother so much! And so, he was saddened to see Secretary Byron instead. Pouting, Eugene slouched on the sofa while Byron walked closer to the CEO. “Sir,” Byron whispered to Eric. “Miss Jane came here.” Eric glanced at the little boy. ‘Before they reunite, I think I should talk to her first,’ Eric thought. Eric stood up from his seat and said to Eugene, “I need to talk to someone. Stay here.” The stubborn kid just snubbed him and pretended as if he heard nothing. Their last conversation went well. But that does not mean Eric has won his son’s favor. Eric walked towards the exit. As he held the doorknob, Byron whispered another report. “Sir, I have something to tell you first.” “What is it?” “Actually, before we came here, Miss Jane heard the employee’s conversation about you and your fiancee, miss Haidee.” Eric has no plan to hide this from Jane. However, at least, he does not want her to know this
Third Person’s POVEric took Jane and Eugene back to their home using the company’s new car. The new model makes everyone comfortable during the ride, and it also has new equipment.The ride went so peaceful. Secretary Byron drove the car, while Eric sat beside the driver’s seat. Jane and Eugene were at the back seat.Turning her head to Eugene, Jane noticed how amazed her kid was while sitting inside the luxurious car.When Eugene was younger, Jane discovered that her child is very interested in cars when she caught him looking at the cars in newspapers. There were times when Eugene cut the car pictures and paste them on the hard box, so he could use them as his toys.Financially struggling, Jane has money to buy expensive toy cars, but she could afford buying cheap and small cars. But now as Eric’s son, Jane was happy that Eugene can enjoy the thing he likes a lot as much as he wants.‘I was thinking why my son loves cars so much. It seems, Eric’s family is the owner of the famous
Jane’s POVAs of today, the deal between I, Eric and Eugene will start.The very first step is to bring Eugene to his grandparents.Eric prefers if Secretary Byron takes Eugene alone in the mansion. But I don’t want to save my face from his parents.I felt ashamed of my mistake. But I am not embarrassed to be a single mom.‘So, there’s nothing to feel worried about.’Secretary Byron brought Eugene and I to Desmond's residence. First, the huge gate welcomed us. It was so big that a family of Giraffes could enter the place. When the gate opened, we saw a mansion colored with white. There is a pool at the side, a basketball court, and different types of expensive looking vehicles parking at the big garage.‘Erich is DAMN RICH.’“Mom, your hand is cold.”I looked at my boy and at our intertwined hands. My son’s hand is warm unlike my body temperature.‘I’ve been fooling myself by telling myself that there’s nothing to feel nervous. But it is idiotic to fool my emotions.’Even if I am old
Third Person’s POV After Jane brought Eugene into the mansion, Valerie asked him to let Eugene stay with them for the night. Although Jane wasn’t comfortable leaving, Eugene said to her mom that he will be alright.The deal entailed that Eugene had to stay with his grandparents every weekend. They all agreed to this and it seems the child is willing to keep his promise too. However, Jane couldn’t help but to feel worried.Eugene was born out of wedlock. It is natural that Eric’s parents would hate the mother. And if they hate the mother, it might also apply to the kid. But Jane witnessed that it wouldn’t be the case with Eugene. She clearly saw the unconditional love Valerie has towards her grandson.“She even cried so hard while hugging Eugene,” Jane murmured.She heaved a sigh and shook her head. If she continues marring over this, she’s afraid she cannot focus on what she’s doing right now.“Miss Jane, where should I put this flower?” an employee asked, as she held a bouquet of fl
“Why is she here?” Eric asked himself while looking at Jane from afar. It took his seconds before he remembered what his secretary told him a few days ago. Secretary Byron told him that Jane is working in the flower shop in front of her apartment building. Eric told Byron not to give him the full details, as it felt so difficult for him to hear this. Jane and Eric both dreamed of having their own flower shop someday. But because of Eric’s circumstances, he did not have the chance to fulfill his dream. That went the same with Jane, but at least, she can work as a florist. However, out of hundreds of flower shops around Jane’s place, Eric couldn’t believe that she’s working in Lance’s shop. “She works at the bast*rd shop?” he murmured in disbelief. Now, Eric knew why the flower designs around the place were well-done. But for unknown reason, Eric felt so discomfited. There was an immeasurable displeasure as he watched Lance and Jane smiling at each other. Taking a deep breath, Er
Eric entered his office in rage. He roughly pulled his black necktie around his collar and then threw it away. Then, he lied down on the sofa with an exhaust moan as if he just went home after a long battle. Going against Lance Theodore will really make him feel like going to war. Eric gnawed his lips while he recalled seeing Lance and Jane together while laughing. His forehead crumpled and he unbuttoned three buttons of his polo shirt. ‘I’m pissed off,’ finally, he admitted as placed his arm above his forehead. This wasn’t the first time Eric and Lance had a fight. But today, he felt extremely mad. It was as if his patience perimeter snapped within him. Why did he feel so angry? “Sir?” Eric heard his Secretary’s voice and the opening of the door. Yet, his eyes remained close and his arm stayed on his forehead. He did not budge to move. Byron stared at his boss as he carefully walked inside the office. The place is oddly hot even though the AC is on. “Sir,” Byron called again
Lance stood in front of the mirror and looked at his reflection. Tonight, he’s wearing the clothes which were sent from the CEO of Geelq car brand company. White tuxedo with black rose at the top’s pocket, these suit him so much. He’s also wearing expensive shoes and a watch sent by Eric. Lance is a fan of branded products. With just a glance, he could see that these clothes and accessories sent by Mr. Eric Desmond are probably worth at least a hundred thousands dollars. “That boastful bastard,” Lance said, then kicked his tongue. He picked up again the box where he got the clothes and read the notes: [“From the idiot Employee”] Faint laughs slipped from his lips, which didn’t come from a joyful heart. Lance threw the box, kicked it away and then stared at his reflection on the mirror. “This feels so f*cking sh*t, assh*le, that freaking b*stard, son of a b*tch, I oughta get his eyeballs out and give it to %&(&, and S*(& ^%* &*^ &%* ^* ^*% &&%&$ ^ $&*&%^ *&^# ^% #&^$^,” he mu
