If it were another time, Mike would have shoved Maya's hand away but now, he doesn't. Because he wanted to see what Cindy's expression was like."Okay." Mike nodded, leaning slightly to see Cindy behind him.Cindy stood behind but on the other side and Mike and Maya were on this side. Out of the corner of his eye, he didn't see her showing any expression.Cindy remained calm but inside her heart was like an ant bite. She doesn't want to show anyone her true feelings.Violet knows how hurt Cindy is. She hates Maya, if not for Mike's presence, she would have taught Maya a lesson.'Why is she so obnoxious?' Violet thought to herself, glancing at Maya with sharp eyes. When Maya turned around, she looked away.No one said anymore. Cindy felt suffocated.Cindy's phone rang to break the silence.Cindy took her phone from her bag and knew the caller was her mother. Since she went to work, Mrs. Ann always calls to check on her.Cindy answers the call. "Hello, my love." She always told her moth
The man smiled, almost sarcastically. But Jessica didn't understand what that smile meant. 'Or he's dumb.' She mumbled.Moments later, a car came and stopped in front of the airport gate. The man stood up from his seat, as he passed Jessica, he said. "You have dirt on your face." He said that casually, then walked over to the car waiting outside.Frozen in place, Jessica was stunned. The car was gone but she was still in a bewildered mood. Her gaze followed the car, remembering what he had just said. Jessica's face automatically turned red.She quickly took out the small mirror and looked at it. She actually has stains on her face. She patted her forehead, her face contorted. 'Oh my god, what a shame, Jessica. You're also confident that you're beautiful.'Luckily the man was gone, otherwise, she wished she could dig a hole right here to hide forever.Moments later, Mike drove to the airport.Jessica immediately forgot what happened before, she excitedly approached her brother's car."
Cindy sat across from William."How are you?" William was the one to ask."I'm fine, how do you know I work here?" Cindy answered and asked him back."I called to ask Aunt Ann. She told me."A silence passed between them. After a while, William began to speak."Cindy, I know it doesn't make sense to say this right now, but I have to say it anyway. I'm sorry for what my mother did to your family. I'm so sorry about that."Cindy looked up at William. "Actually you don't have to apologize to me. Aunt Sam is not to blame. The company didn't do well before. Your mother is not obligated to provide money to save my father's company.William looked at Cindy." I'm sorry I left while you were having a hard time. When you were in need of someone to lean on, I wasn't there. I was a terrible friend. like I betrayed you." He says.Cindy took a deep breath. "William, it's over, don't repeat it. You're still my best friend and brother. Now, all we need to do is move forward and live in the present. a
Cindy is currently with Violet. But she stops when someone calls her.Cindy is surprised to see Jessica."Jessica?" Cindy exclaimed with a surprised expression. "Why..."Jessica is happy to see Cindy again, she hugs Cindy. "Sister Cindy, it's great to see you here again. How are you?" She asked excitedly.Cindy was stunned. She didn't expect to see Jessica again after what she did to her brother Jessica.Cindy swallowed. "I'm fine, thanks." She replied with a faint smile on her face."I miss you so much, Sister Cindy," Jessica said.Cindy didn't expect to hear that.Jessica released Cindy and looked at her."Four years of not seeing each other, you become more and more beautiful," Jessica asked when she saw Cindy's suspicious look. "How? What look is that?""Jessica, aren't you mad at me?" Cindy asked.Jessica furrowed her brows. "Why am I mad at you?"Cindy lowered her head. "Because... the things that happened four years ago." She speaks.Jessica's expression changed. "Sister Cindy,
When Linda finished her presentation, the board members talked for a while. They are discussing which collection to choose for the winter.After thirty minutes of debate, the board finally released the results.And that's Cindy's Winter Love collection. She is very happy. This is the first time her designs have gone into production and she hopes that customers will love them.The meeting ended. Cindy and Violet are on their way back to their office. They talked while walking.Violet follows Cindy. "Congratulations. You deserve it."Cindy turned her head to look at her cousin. "No. We must say congratulations." She corrected."It's all your work, I still have to learn more from you. You deserve all the credit." Violet insisted.A colleague walked up to the two girls and told Cindy. "There's someone who wants to see you. She's waiting for you in your office."Cindy looked at Violet and then at her colleague, asking. "Who is that?""I don't know. I just know it's an old woman." She said
Jessica continued. "This isn't just to celebrate your success, it's also a welcome party for me joining Skymond."Cindy thought for a moment before answering. She doesn't want to turn Jessica down, Jessica's well-intentioned to ask her out anyway and this is her best chance to get to know more of the people she'll be working with."Of course." Cindy agrees.Jessica turned to Violet as if waiting for her answer. Violet smiled. "Ok. But can I bring a friend?" she asked."Does not matter," Jessica replied."Thank you," Violet said."Okay! Then, I'll wait for you two in the parking lot after work is over." Jessica decided."Wait. Shall we wear work uniforms to the party?" Violet asked."It's okay. The clothes don't matter, as long as we're happy." Jessica replied.---In Heaven bar, inside the VIP room.Cindy breathed a sigh of relief when Mike wasn't in the room. She recalls Jessica only invited staff in the design department, including two female employees and two male employees, but no
But before she left, she heard Violet introduce the man to everyone. "Hello everyone, this man is my friend. His name is William." Violet introduces William to everyone."Violet, how do you know him?" Female employee 1 asked."Uh, I know him through my cousin Cindy, they've been close since childhood. That's why I invited him to the party tonight." Violet replied."So, Cindy and William know each other?" Female employee 2 asked surprised."Violet said they were close since childhood." Female employee 1 secretly nudges female employee 2's hand."I heard you and Cindy almost got married, but your mother broke off the engagement." Female employee 1 asked.Both William and Cindy were confused by that statement."Don't talk too much." Female employee 2 spoke as if she was scolding her colleague.The men invited William to sit down."Uh, William, take a seat!" Male employee 1 said."Thank," William replied and he sat down next to Cindy, which further angered Mike.Whether William and Cindy
Cindy was really angry, she bit her lip to control her anger. Cindy promised herself that she would ignore the two of them, but she couldn't.Cindy secretly clasped her hands, she was very upset and drank constantly. Everyone was stunned to see Cindy like that."Oh." Someone blurted out."I didn't expect Cindy to drink so well?" Female employee 1 exclaimed."Cindy, stop drinking, you might get drunk," William said from the side, he sounded worried."I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Cindy replied. She continued to drink.But William quickly snatched her wine glass and spoke. "Enough, I'll drink it for you." He said and then he drank Cindy's glass of wine."Oh. Mr. William is so gallant. What a great guy." Female employee 2 said and giggled."I feel sorry that you two didn't get married four years ago. Why?" Female employee 1 asked without thinking."Hey, why are you asking that question?" Female employee 2 speaks to female employee 1 in a low voice.Female employee 1 just realized what
"Why?" Violet asked again. "You should know that GemWorld is a big company. Sir Tom doesn't choose you easily if you don't have a unique talent and focus. With this course you will learn more ideas and above all, you have the opportunity to be known and shine in the jewelry design industry.""I know. This is the problem. Besides, working at Skymond isn't such a bad idea.""Are you hesitating because of Mike? You don't want to leave him." Violet couldn't help but ask.Cindy looked up at Violet, sighing deeply."No matter which path you choose, I support you." Violet put her hand on Cindy's shoulder, cheering her on.After work, Mike drove Cindy home. He noticed all the way, Cindy didn't say a word. Sad face. Occasionally she would sigh.Mike asked. "What is bothering you?"Cindy out of her dream, looked at Mike and spoke hesitantly. "I have a problem...""What is that? Tell me. You know you can tell me anything." Mike took her hand, his other hand still on the steering wheel.Cindy tel
"Wait. Don't tell me you're in X city?" Rose asked."Let's keep this a secret," Maya replied."What are you doing there, Maya?" Maya asked. "Are you following Mike again?""Rose, only you can understand me," Maya replied."Maya, you still don't give up on that man?""Rest assured, I'll be back when I'm done with them.""Them? Who?""Mike and Cindy.""Cindy? Is she back?" Rose looked surprised."Yes. I don't want to see them together. I hate them. If I can't be happy, no one can." Maya clenched her fists."Maya, you're just ruining yourself. Stop and come back before it's too late. You can't win against true love. You know love is power. The more you hate them, the more you hate them. the happier they will be." Rose said."No. I don't want them to be happy."Rose sighed. She knows that Maya is very stubborn. She wants to advise Maya again."Maya, give up, give yourself a chance. Don't hold grudges. In this world, love isn't everything..." But before she could finish her words, Maya dis
"Instinct," Cindy answered briefly. She didn't mention Jessica because she confirmed it was true, then she told Mike.After all, Jessica is also his sister. The sister has a lover, of course, the brother needs to know what kind of person it is."Okay, okay." Mike didn't want to argue with Cindy. "Come with me, Mr. Tom wants to talk to you and he wants to know the details of your design," Mike said.Meanwhile, William was walking to the exit. But he stopped when he saw Jessica. She was a few meters ahead of him.William immediately regained his composure. "Jessica." He tried to call her.Jessica turned her head to the back and saw William, her steps were faster."Wait, Jessica," William called her again.But that only made her walk faster."This." Jessica heard William calling her. She went to the parking lot to leave as soon as possible.William could not let go of this girl."Jessica, wait." William continues to chase her, but she won't stop.William ran and held Jessica's hand. He g
"But not now. Mike, I have work to do. It's time to visit." Cindy said in a sweet voice. She turned to face Mike, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips."Let's talk after the show, okay?" She speaks."Alright," Mike replied with a wide smile on his face. "I'm going to talk to the guest now, honey, don't stress too much, I'm here and everyone is here to support you." Mike touched Cindy's face."Yes." Cindy nodded a few times."Goodbye." Mike kissed Cindy's forehead before he left.Cindy went back to work, the staff were looking at her and smiling, making her blush.Then they seriously continued to work.Cindy continued to check the jewelry samples when Jessica arrived."Sister Cindy," Jessica called Cindy.Cindy turned her head to see who called her name."Jessica!" That Cindy waved at Jessica when she saw her.Jessica wore the same dress she wore the night she met William at his bar."You look so beautiful." Cindy compliments Jessica."Thank you, Cindy. You're g
"Cindy!" He called, immediately getting up from the couch and approaching Cindy.He pressed near the head of the bed to call the nurse and doctor and then he sat on the bed, Mike holding Cindy's hand and touching her face. "How do you feel?" He asks.Cindy could see the worry in Mike's eyes."I'm fine. Where am I?" Cindy asked."Are you in the hospital," Mike replied.Cindy suddenly remembered what happened the day before. Now she's still a bit scared.Mike read Cindy's mind, he said. "It's okay honey, you're safe now." Mike tries to reassure Cindy. "I asked the police to arrest Linda.""It's not serious. You don't have to." Cindy said."She almost took your life, why do you say it's not serious?"“She was just jealous of me, so she…”Mike put a finger to Cindy's lips. "This time I won't let anyone hurt you anymore." He hugged her. "One more thing, Linda is involved in the fake gems scandal, so the police need to question her."Cindy is shocked. "Why would Linda do that?""I think she
"Recall that you owe me money. Even though your brother had a successful surgery, he needs to stay in the hospital for care. I can provide all of his needs while he needs them. you're in prison. And one more thing, Mike will definitely fire you through this incident. How can you provide for your brother's needs then?" Maya threatened."But rest assured, I will hire a lawyer for you," Maya added.Linda has become silent. She is stupid. If she hadn't cooperated with Maya in the first place, had she told Mike the truth, none of this would have happened.Maya is a crafty person. Now Linda doesn't know what to do but listens to Maya.She has nothing left for her but her brother. If she was imprisoned, there would be no one to take care of her brother.Linda is also unable to work and she cannot provide for her medical needs. How could she refuse this offer?"Okay. I agree. But make sure you keep your promise, Maya." Linda said."Of course," Maya replied with a smirk."Ok. It's done. I shou
In the hospital.Cindy's ward. Mike and the doctor were standing beside the bed where Cindy was sleeping."Let her stay here to observe more. Let's pray that everything will be okay." The doctor told Mike.Mike silently listened to the doctor. His shirt is still wet but he doesn't care. What's important to him is Cindy's peace.He is blaming himself. Last time, she almost drowned. This time, he shouldn't have agreed to Cindy's request. This bad thing won't happen.Cindy is pitiful. She drowned twice, but luckily, Mike saved her in time.The doctor left, and Jessica and Violet entered Cindy's hospital room."Brother, I brought you some dry clothes. You should change before you catch a cold. Cindy will be fine. We'll take care of her." Jessica said.Mike quietly took the clothes that Jessica brought and he walked into the bathroom.Violet stepped closer to the hospital bed. She held her cousin's hand."Violet, have you called Aunt Ann?" Jessica asked."Yes. I called." Violet nodded. "Sh
Her heart beat faster and she felt her body tremble. Cindy clenched her fist. 'No. No. I can't do this.' She said to herself. 'This is a bad idea. I can't take the risk. I think I'd better stay in the cabin.'Just then, Jessica's secretary approached her and told her something.Jessica turned to Cindy and said. "Sister Cindy, I have some work to do, I'll be back in a bit."Cindy nodded. Jessica and her secretary left.Because Cindy was standing sideways, Jessica didn't notice her pale face.Right after Jessica left, Cindy decided to go back to the cabin, but just as she turned around, Linda blocked her way."What do you want my help with, Linda?" Cindy asked, trying to sound casual."Are not," Linda replied. She looked at Cindy's face as if she were studying Cindy."Your expression is quite pale. I heard that in the past, the director canceled the yacht charter because of someone. Everyone said that person was you. Could it be... you have a fear of water?" Linda didn't care, her tone
"Cindy." Violet excitedly entered the office, calling out."What?" Cindy was startled, looking up at her cousin.Violet is very excited."To celebrate Christmas, the company organized a picnic at the beach for all employees.""Oh, really?""Hey. There's more. I heard we're going to charter a yacht to go out.""Yacht?" Cindy asked back as if she didn't hear well."Yes." Violet nodded excitedly."I think I won't go," Cindy said."Why don't you go?" Violet frowned and asked."Violet, have you forgotten? I have a fear of water." Cindy reminded her cousin."Oh." Violet's excitement immediately dropped."Because I was so excited, I forgot that you have a fear of water every time you go on a cruise." Violet is sorry."You can still join other employees," Cindy said happily."I won't go without you," Violet said."Why not? You said you should get along with the other staff. Don't miss your trip because of me." Cindy tried to cheer up her cousin."Never mind. I'll stay home with you.""Violet,
