“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
Friend?Cyrus made it sure to show Jane that he’s interested in her romantically. It was only an acting, but at least Cyrus thought that it would work on her.But what did Jane say to him?‘It would be fun to be my friend?’ Cyrus repeated inside his head while looking at the woman sitting in front of him.His eyes, which had been cold to everyone, swiftly blinked. Cyrus wasn’t sure if she’s pretending or she’s really an idiot.“You think… can we be friends?” he asked at a very slow pace.Jane smiled at him and answered, “Why not? You don’t look bad at all.”“Bad?”“Yes. Now that I met you in person, I don’t think I should judge you. Another thing, you helped the old woman by catching the thief. If you aren’t kind, then why did you help?”The reason?Cyrus wasn’t sure either. He just hates the fact that no one dares to help when there are many people around the place. Because when he was young and hopeless, no one reached his hand to help him. Simply, he only helped because the situat
Eric was on his way to Singapore to meet the new investors for Geelq Car Company. If he loses some, he only needs to look for new ones.This wasn’t on his original schedule. But when he received the invitation through email, he did not hesitate to agree.While Eric was sitting inside his private plane with an eye mask, Secretary Byron looked at him.Eric was always excited for weekdays because he will spend his days with Jane and Eugene.‘I thought that my boss would cancel the flight. But he did not,’ Byron thought while looking at his sleeping boss.Ever since this morning, Eric has not been in the good mood. Byron guessed that it might because Lance visited his place and fetched Jane.Byron was half right.Because until now, Eric was bothered by Lance’s warning and his mother’s schemes.[“For someone who’s about to get married, I don’t think you have the right to stop me, Eric. Jane and Eugene stayed in your house. But that does not mean they are your property. Sure, Eugene is your
Jane’s hands trembled while she was serving the juice to Lance’s mom, Andrea Theodore.“Oh my~ Thank you so much, young lady,” Andrea said to Jane.When Andrea looked directly at her, Jane held her breath. She really does not want to meet Lance’s mom again at all cost.Jane felt guilty for fooling Andrea. She also feared getting caught if Andrea would recognize her face. And last, Jane cannot promise to Lance that she can continue acting as his girlfriend again.After holding her breath for a while, Jane forced a smile on her lips and replied, “M-My pleasure, Ma’am.”Andrea observed how Jane placed her hands behind her back, displaying an image of a polite kid.‘She has good manners,’ Andrea thought.Apparently, Jane just wanted to hide her trembling hands from her.While Jane and Andrea were staring at each other, Damiel observed them. Right now, Jane looks like a daughter-in-law, who met her mother-in-law for the first time.‘No. Now that I am observing Jane more, she looks more lik
“My son,”Andrea called as she stood up.Lance looked alternately to his mom and Jane. There was no commotion inside and that tells Lance that his mom hasn’t recognized Jane yet.“Mom,” he called as he stood between Jane and Andrea as if to block her from staring at Jane. “W-Why did you suddenly come here without contacting me first?”Andrea looked worriedly at her son. “Baby. I came here to talk about your gir…”“W-Wait a minute,” Lance stopped her and held her arm. “I think w-we should talk inside the office. C-Come on!”His mom cast a look at Damiel and Jane as Lance dragged her inside the office. As soon as they went in, Lance locked the door.He took a seat next to his mom and said, “You should not come here without telling me first.”“You might escape if I tell you beforehand.”There’s no way he will.When Lance received a call from the head maid and heard that Andrea was on her way to the flower shop, he hurried and looked for his way back to the shop.He got lost while deliveri
Resting inside her room while drinking tea, Valerie heard knocks on the door.“Madam, it’s me, the head maid.”“Come in.”The maid came inside and said, “You have a visitor, Madam.”“It seems like I get a lot of visitors these past few days. Who is it?”“It is sir Lance.”Valerie almost dropped the cup she’s holding. With widened eyes, she gently placed the cup on its teacup and looked back at the maid. “Who is it again?”“Sir Lance.”Valerie did not expect this. She knew that Andrea would tell this to her son, but for Lance to come and visit the Desmond mansion, it is the least thing anyone can imagine.Readying herself, she came out of the bedroom and went to the living room. There she saw her unexpected guest.“Lance,” Valerie greeted with a smile.Lance stood up from his seat and smiled back.“Good evening, Auntie Valerie.”“It’s been so long since the last time I saw you. I remembered the day when you promised to Eric that you won’t come here and play with him again.”Lance let o
“Lance is alive, Sir,” Byron said to Eric.Hearing that, Eric sighed in relief. “Right now, Sir Lance is working in his flower shop with Miss Jane. Our men told me that.”Eric remained quiet while looking at the blank space.Eric and Lance grew up together. They don’t like each other because they were too different. But after he saw the illusion of seeing Lance lying lifeless inside the coffin, he realized that even if he hates Lance, he became a huge part of his life.It might not be his reality, but when Eric saw how Lance’s family mourned for his death, a great sense of weariness swept over him. His heart was broken into pieces and his soul crushed.However, the illusion he saw and the present are different.The fire incident in the Happy mall happened already, but Lance is still alive.Which means…‘The future I saw and the present don’t match,’ he realized.“Sir.”Eric lifted his head to the man who called him. He put his hands down from massaging his temples and looked a
