She looked forward to meeting her; thus, she put much effort into looking presentable in front of her boss.The moment she entered the company entrance door, the employees and clients lounging in the lobby were mesmerized by her beauty.Kristel smiled at them. With what she did, their hearts skipped a beat, and they felt their knees went weak.‘Where did this angel come from?’“Is she a model in our company?”“I’m not sure. Maybe she is, since the companies we cooperated with often sent their models to us to have their fittings or pictorials.”“She’s so pretty. Bu
PEARSON VILLAEliza and Hector were relaxing in their gazebo, sipping tea after having a delicious lunch prepared by the former, when a taxi pulled over in front of their villa.The couple heard when the gate creaked as someone opened it.“Do we have a guest today?” Hector asked his wife, and Eliza shook her head.“No. I didn’t expect anyone today, nor did anyone notify me they were coming for a visit. ”Every time her friends visited her, they would call or text her ahead of time.Then their curiosity soon answered when the head maidservant approached them, carrying a box of sweet desserts from their favorite Pastry Store.Eliza recognized the box and got excited when she had already guessed who their visitor was.Kristel appeared in their line of sight shortly after, but their daughter was on the phone. Thus, Eliza suppressed her pleasure in approaching her daughter.When Kristel hung up the call and looked at them with a sweet smile on her lips, Eliza didn’t wait for her to get clo
“That’s good, honey. You can do whatever you want. Remember that your dad and I are always supporting your decision. Although I felt sad that your marriage with Galvin didn’t go well. However, it is not worth staying in a loveless marriage.”Kristel pursed her lips into a grateful smile. She cuddled her dad and felt his fatherly warmth. She just realized that she missed her parents too much.A year ago, she was the happiest girl in the world when Galvin proposed and his parents also liked her as their daughter-in-law.Thus, she pays no heed to why she could marry their son, and her parents also knew nothing about the agreement she signed.So when she told them she was marrying Galvin because she had feelings for him, they supported her decision, even though they feared she was too young to marry. Although their parents knew each other, they didn’t see their children were actually close and going on a date.Eventually, she was now a divorcee and even got pregnant. She wondered what her
The restaurant had a luxurious ambiance with its opulent interior design. To dine there, one must have a VIP membership. As a result, everyone looked stunning in their custom-made and designer clothes.Kristel and her parents fit right in tonight. The Pearsons may not be as rich as the Hudsons, but Hector always makes sure to spoil his wife and daughter.Therefore, even if Kristel had married someone like Galvin Hudson, he would never stop his daughter from separating from him. He would not allow this man to continue hurting his daughter.Now that he divorced Kristel because of his old flame, then his daughter deserves to find new happiness for herself.“I would not stop my daughter from dating someone new. But I won’t approve of anyone marrying my daughter but then divorcing her after he realizes he doesn’t love her.”Hector’s remarks caused his daughter’s cheeks to blush, also it touched her heart.‘Thank you, Dad.’ Kristel looked at her father with such gratitude. She knew her old
“Ungrateful child!” Gloria was so angry that she was shaking. Kristel’s hand on her back and her comforting pats were the only things keeping her from having a heart attack.“Galvin, why are you trying to anger your Grandma?” Katherine was too disappointed with her son. She didn’t comment when he divorced Kristel. But she would not allow his son to become unfilial to his grandmother because of an insignificant woman.Witnessing such a scene, the Pearson couple, especially Hector, was annoyed to see his former son-in-law acting like this. Good thing that his daughter divorced him already.They could not imagine what pain their daughter would have to go through if she stayed in that hopeless marriage.Hector darted an indifferent gaze at his former son-in-law. Since the issue only involved the Hudsons, he stood up from his chair and walked around the table. He put his hand on his daughter’s back and motioned for her to stand up.Kristel understood right away. Her father wanted them to l
Kristel arose early the next morning to prepare for her first day of work. Her lips curved into a smile after she read the separate good-luck texts from her parents. After a quick reply, she took a shower, but it took her a long time to choose a dress to wear for work.Today, she wants to impress not only her boss and co-workers but also the people who will know she was working in a clothing company that is top one in both sales and good quality clothes.As a clothing designer, she is also the face of her own creation. Thus, she chose one of the dresses she prepared for the trip to New York. And now that she and Galvin are divorced, she shouldn’t hold herself back from dressing up.She is a fashion designer, so it’s only fitting she will dress stylishly in her everyday life, and that will start today.At the company, Jamie was already in the Reception Area when Kristel arrived. Although she could already go directly to the floor where her office was located, she dropped by the front d
HUDSON ENTERPRISES“Good morning, Mrs. Hudson.”Kristel walked to the entrance with trepidation. To her surprise, the four bodyguards at the door greeted her warmly. She had not expected them to still address her in such a manner.“Good morning, gentlemen. You know that your boss and I are no longer married.”She quickly corrected them before a misunderstanding ensued.“We know that missus,” replied sincerely by one of the guards, which was chimed by the other.“However, you will be the only Mrs. Hudson we will acknowledge.”It surprised Kristel when one security guard whispered this to her. She smiled helplessly and said, “There’s no need to think that way. A new Mrs. Hudson will be soon introduced, and you’ll have to accept her. From now on, I’m simply Kristel Pearson, the designer from the company that partnered with yours.”The security guards looked at each other, then smiled cheerlessly.“We know that, Miss Pearson. We just felt sad that we won’t see you around often.”Kristel w
As Kristel went on, Galvin frowned and got lost in thoughts. Why would Kristel say that her first love ended up in a tragic love story?‘I thought she and Noah got back together.’ He couldn’t fully comprehend.Kristel didn’t notice the conflicted emotion brewing within Galvin. She was only immersed in her presentation on convincing the Hudson Enterprises' board of directors. Even though Galvin owns and has significant shares in this company, Hudson wouldn’t remain standing without its shareholders.Kristel looked at the board, smiled, then went on...“The concept and samples you’ve seen just now are my works in the past that never saw the light. So, like my designs, which were only hidden inside a box for a long time, I now have the chance to share them with the world. As I let go of my past and my first love, it’s time for me to move forward. So I hope Mr. Hudson would not belittle my talent in clothing designing.”Kristel paused and scanned Galvin’s suit.
