Everyone will agree that ever since Eric started to work in Geelq, he did all of his best to make the company grow. Although he cannot compete against Cyrus, he gave good service for many years. He did not act on things that will stain the company’s image; that includes having scandals, fights or questionable hobbies. Employees see him as the perfect boss, before, now and forever. But the image that he hardly built for long years is on the verge of getting ruined. The news about Eric beating the Geelq’s investor spread so fast like a contagious disease. He received bashful comments from different sides. Some worry that it might be Eric’s first and last offense as the new CEO of the company. Some believe that maybe he isn’t suited for his position and Cyrus should be the CEO. However, even after knowing what will happen, Eric even came to Jane’s neighborhood to see her. Perhaps he only wanted to hear praise from her and for Jane to say that he did the right thing. He really wanted
Eric sat in front of his desk in his office. The bruise on his cheek and the cut on his lips are still visible. While sitting, Eric recalled the time he saw how Lance hugged Jane. An immense strength settled in his fists which were on the table. ‘Lance really likes her,’ Eric thought. He grew up with Lance. Eric knew that Lance wasn't interested in dating . But this is the first time he saw Lance’s gaze towards Jane. “That person won’t stop until he gets what he wants,” Eric said the bitter truth. The truth which made him envious to Lance. Lance has the courage to follow his heart. Deep inside, Eric wanted to be like Lance. This inferiority complex is what made him despise his competitor. “Why am I thinking about this?” Eric asked himself before he roughly washed his face with his dried palms. Instead of worrying about the painful one-sided love he has for the mother of his child, Eric knew that he had to focus on solving the problem about his rumor and the investor he beat.
“Honey!” Andrea Theodore exclaimed, welcoming her husband with warm hugs. Servants in the mansion chuckled while looking at the sweet couple. Somehow, Manuel and Andrea became their role models. It is so rare to see married couples who stay sweet and affectionate to each other for a long time. “Ahuh, it seems like my wife missed me so much,” Manuel let out a throaty chuckle. “Of course,” Andrea said. She looked at him and showed a bright look in her eyes. Manuel flinched. Before going to the business trip, Andrea reassures Manuel that she will follow Lance’s blind date to make sure that their son isn’t dating a man. Seeing the smile on Andrea’s face, Manuel felt like he would be hearing good news. “I have something to tell you,” she said. Andrea pulled Manuel to their room and she let him sit on the bed. Manuel could see the excitement at the way she perched down beside him, and of course, with a candy-like beam on her lips. “Good news, good news,” Andrea started. “Our son w
While laying on his bed, Eric looked at the hand who held Jane. ‘If I didn’t let her go, maybe I…’ He closed his hand along with an unfinished thought. “That’s right. I did a good job with letting her go too,” he said with a sigh. As he looked at the ceiling, he heard knocks from the door. Eric quickly sat up and stared at the entrance. Is dinner ready? “It’s me, Eugene.” Eric was slightly disappointed that it wasn’t Jane. But soon, he felt happy that his son reached him first. “It’s not locked. Come in.” The door opened, and the child went in with a paper in his hand. Eric hopped down on the bed and said, “I didn’t expect to see you coming in my room.” “What did you say to mom before?” Eugene asked. “Did you tell her that you like her and…Mmp!” As fast as lightning, Eric shut Eugene by covering his mouth. The boy frowned while looking at his father. “I did not. And I won’t,” Eric said. Eugene pulled his father’s hand away from his mouth and uttered, “Mom is in the kit
Andrea Theodore came to the restaurant that her family owns to meet Valerie Desmond.Since Valerie said that she wanted to meet with Andrea to talk about Lance, Andrea went anxious. She came to their meeting place a bit earlier than their promised time.While waiting, Andrea kept on drinking water from her glass.She was nervous.“If it is about my son, I hope it is not connected to Eric.” She grabbed the glass again with both of her hands and took a sip.“Andrea.”Quickly, she gulped the water and placed the glass back on the table before she turned her head.“Valerie!”Andrea stood up from her seat. They greeted each other with small kisses on cheeks.“It been so long since the last time I saw you,” Andrea said to Valerie with a smile.Valerie, who’s cold to everyone, smiled at Andrea. Among the people she knows, Andrea is the kindest. She trusts her so much as her friend, given that their families have a good bond for many years. That is more the reason why Valerie wanted to meet
“Andrea, listen to me,” Valerie said. “That woman is dangerous. Lance shouldn’t date her.” “Why? What makes you think so?” Andrea inquired, quite befuddled. “Because she is a gold digger.” “What?” Andrea gasped. “That woman,” Valerie added. “She is that gold digger who seduced my son.” Andrea blinked swiftly while gaping. She was not sure if she heard Valerie right, even if Valerie repeated it twice. ‘What does Valerie mean by being a gold digger and seducing Eric?’ Andrea asked inside her head. Andrea cupped the glass of water and lifted it with her trembling hands. She took a sip and barely swallowed the water down through her throat. Unable to calm down, Andrea leaned closer and inquired. “V-Valerie. I don’t think I can follow you well. Can you please elaborate this? L-Like are y-you r-really saying that my son is dating a gold digger, who seduced Eric?” Valerie nodded her head with a heavy sigh. “That woman was Eric’s classmate during college. She seduced my son and…” Sh
“Eric was so cold. It is just eating breakfast in his house. But he coldly sent me away. That b*stard,” Lance complained while driving.Opposite to his words, there was a huge smile on his face.After Lance’s sudden visit, Eric sent him away. Byron came and picked up Eugene to school. While Jane came with Lance on the way to work.Jane has no idea how Lance handled Eric. Either way, she thinks Lance has no right to complain at Eric’s cold attitude.‘You came to the house knowing that Eric will get annoyed,’ Jane thought while narrowing her eyes to her boss.Lance knows her relationship to Eric, so Jane wasn’t worried anymore. She thought that Lance only came there to irritate Eric.It was one of Lance’s reasons. But his priority is Jane. Unfortunately, the NBSB (NO BOYFRIEND SINCE BIRTH) Jane has no clue.“Boss, you are kind,” Jane complimented. “But sometimes, you are really childish,” she ended it with a complaint.“Childish?” Lance asked while driving, “Did you think that I came t
Inside a car in the middle of the jam traffic, Cyrus was sitting on the back seat with his secretary in charge of the wheel. He was watching a video of CCTV footage through his tablet. Arthur Monteverde was Cyrus’ close business partner.When Arthur heard that Eric became the official CEO of Geelq Car Company, he withdrew his investment for the sake of his friendship with Cyrus. Cyrus did not plan this. However, he knew that Eric would do his best to win Arthur back. But what happened next? Eric fought with Arthur and assaulted him with multiple injuries. Cyrus was so curious. ‘Why would Eric assault an important investor?’ Just a day after, Arthur released a statement regarding the scandal. He said that the fighting scandal isn’t real and that Monteverde will invest at the Geelq again. It was calm after the storm. Although Arthur said that no assault happened Cyrus believed that the fight did occur between them because he saw Eric’s wounds and cuts, as well as Arthur’s medic
