Ezra concluded his speech and officially welcomed everyone. His mother was the first to get up on her feet, cheering for him, and the rest got up.She couldn't be proud of her son's determination to get over all the hurdles that were thrown at him.She walked up to the stage and hugged him. "This is just the beginning," she whispered.She pulled back and walked to Sarah, hugging her too.Sarah swallowed, it was unexpected and she was tempted to scream in excitement but had to control herself."Thank you for putting a smile on my son's face," Marian said.Sarah had no idea how to react, though she was sure she was not supposed to be given any credit for Ezra's decision to fight."Come with me; Ezra showed me this beautiful red dress," Marian said. "Photoshoot starts right now.""Now, like light now?" Sarah asked, looking behind Ezra."Yes, we are two weeks behind, and I will be in charge of directing the shoots," Marian said, asking the photographer.Chelsea came running to the stage.
The man was crazy; there was something wrong in his head. There was no way he was going to ruin the moment to raise his company from the ground for sex."Ezra, use your head and not your tail between your legs," she warned him, but he got closer and pulled her into his lap."Ezra no! We talked about this," she tried to reason with him."I tried to ignore you, but seeing you do the photoshoot brought back so many memories," he whispered, tracing his hand on her bare back.Sarah closed her eyes, his hand was warm, and his touches were leaving a warm feeling behind her back."Ezra, no, we can still date while you work for me," he said, forcing Sarah to open her eyes.Her heart stopped for a second as she turned to face him."I do not see why we should ignore the feelings we know we have had for each other since day one," Ezra stated."Day one?" Sarah was almost yelling. She pinched him hard. "You threw me outside your building the first day I got here like some piece of shit!" she yelled
Slowly, Sarah's eyes became wet, and tears began flowing down her cheeks. The whole day, she had a bad feeling about her and Ezra, but she did not imagine Liam was going to be there in the middle of it."Tell them how you begged me to give you this job and how you signed this form even after reading its contents," Liam yelled.Ezra finally looked at Sarah and noticed her reaction. He was on the verge of getting his phone and calling security, but for unknown reasons, his hands felt heavy."I am ready to go to jail for breaching the restraining order, but first I have to expose this two-faced liar!" Liam announced.Sarah looked in Ezra's direction. "I never spied on you," she finally said."Yet you signed this and kept working no matter the amount of shit he threw at you!" Liam yelled."Shut up! You are lying, you piece of sh*t!" Sarah yelled.Chelsea, who was in the back of the room, quickly walked to the front of the hall.Marian turned, her hand visibly shaking."Did you sign this?
Liam rubbed on his burning cheek, his ass still on the floor. He watched as Sarah and Chelsea walked out of the hall.He could not believe the audacity; however, he needed to get up because people were watching and still taking photos.He quickly got up, put his jacket together, and walked out of the room.Patiently waiting in his car and taking photos of everyone who was walking out of the building was Penelope.She had to back off when Ezra and his mother walked out and drove off. She had no idea why, when she had waited to spit on his face, but seeing his tears forced her to be glued to her seat.She always felt the man had no emotions inside of him but ever since the stupid secretary showed up, she had seen different sides of him. She looked up and saw Sarah and her stupid friend walking out. She got out of the car, clapping and laughing."We warned you, stupid slut! We warned you that we were going to ruin you if you kept getting into our business," she walked to them."Ignore h
Chelsea ran to the door, her smile wiping out at the sight of George. She had never met him before, but she knew exactly who he was from reading articles."George, this is not the right time; we are kind of busy," she said.George smiled at her. "And you are?" He stretched out his hand to greet her."George, what are you doing here?" Sarah finally spoke up."I came to see how you are doing; can we talk in private?" He asked and pulled his hand away, noticing that the friend was not going to shake his hand. Sarah brushed her hands through her hair; she did not have time for him. The man needed to know what ghosting meant."How did you find where I live?" she asked.George noticed her swollen eyes, she looked as if she had stayed up the whole night crying."From your application, okay, let me get to the point," he said. "I have seen the scandals about you and the Klein brothers, so I thought I would come and cheer you up," he said.Chelsea chuckled. "I mean, you saw an opportunity and
Sarah slowly staggered to the car, her legs heavy and her heart on the verge of bursting. Everything that Marian said was correct.She was a terrible person, it didn't matter whether it was Ezra or someone else's son or brother, but the fact still remained that she agreed to spy on someone and in the process hurt them. Worse, Liam was honest enough to tell her about the person and his condition. And instead of pitying them she selfishly agreed to spy on them.She was a horrible, pathetic person who could do anything for money. Or maybe even kill. Ezra was in the right not to give her the opportunity to hear her side of the story.If she thought about it, there was no side to her story. She was guilty, Liam did not force. In fact she begged him to give her the job.Claiming she was desperate for a job sounded like a witch pleading for mercy.Chelsea ran to her and said, "Did you talk to Ezra? What did he say?" she asked."Home… Let us just go home," Sarah whispered, her voice hoarse.
Liam inhaled and exhaled small breaths. He struggled to comprehend the elderly man's arrogance. The old fool constantly acted as though he were Ezra's father or Marian's boyfriend."What are we going to do? We must take action. Penelope was now in a state of panic.She clung to his hands and began shaking them. "What if he changes his mind? What should we do?"Liam shoved her off He screamed at her, "Stop with your stupid negativity; would you be positive for once?"When his phone rang, it was his attorney reassuring him that Ezra was still in the country."Where is he living?"The lawyer responded, "In the mansion in the mountains.""Great, nice job," he remarked before hanging up."You found him?" Penelope asked "In the mountain mansion, a perfect retirement house for the cripple to live and die a lonely life," he mocked.Penelope smiled, "I am coming with you," she said, grabbing her handbag.Liam hesitated a bit."What?" Penelope noticed. "We are going together; we both worked
Meanwhile, Liam was busy in his new office, taking on his brother's challenge of lifting the company back to its former glory.He had followed Ezra's advice and made his lawyer draft a document that prevented Ezra from changing his mind about selling the shares once the company was up.The ball was now in his hands to show his brother how the company was supposed to be run.Penelope was pissed at him for agreeing to the stupid conditions. She did not trust Ezra. She felt he was stalling and waiting for his stupid heart to heal so that he could go and take over.She felt they were being played, and Liam was stupid enough to fall into a trap.Liam, on the other hand, felt the contract signed backed him up, and his concentration was back to work.Three weeks passed since he signed the contract, and he could see life back at the company. Most of the models and workers that left were back and he placed rules on the number of projects the company was supposed to hand a single model in order
