Maria was not left out. She and Emily had been working since morning, she was famished and she hadn't thought she was going to be eating a meal cooked by BRANDON LEE, the famous chef that afternoon.
"I hope the food suits your taste." Brandon smiled as he watched Emily eat.
Emily gave Brandon a thumb up and nodded her head as she devoured the delicious food.
After a while, the trio finished their food and stepped down from the van.
"I hope you guys enjoyed yourself.." Brandon grinned broadly.
"Nde." Emily nodded her head.
"Kamsahamnida!" the trio bowed slightly.
"Ye. Then this is where I say goodbye." Brandon smiled.
"Goodbye, beautiful ladies." He waved his hand.
"Awwwwww....Ahhhhhh" the trio whined.
"I'll see you so
"Emily I hope you are doing good at work? I'm really busy that I don't see you around. You know I have like four offices in the industry." Michael frowned."Oppa, gwenchana. I'm doing well." Emily smiled."And Stephanie, she's not being a pain in the ass?" Michael raised his brow as he munched on his food."Ani." Emily shook her head."Good then." Michael nodded his head."Noona please pass me the rice." Little Pumpkin smiled."Uhn." Emily nodded her head and reached for the bowl of rice in the middle of the dining table."Why didn't you just tell me to pass it to you?" Joel sneered as he carried the bowl of rice."Mianhae, next time, he'll tell you to pass it. Hand it over." Emily snickered."Ppaliii" she pouted."I
"Unnie, I'll be leaving now." Emily smiled as she walked into her manager's office. "Huh? Arasso." Maria nodded her head. "Kumawoyo." Emily bowed. "Don't forget about the assignment director gave to you..." Maria reminded. "Nde." Emily bowed and walked out of the office. How would she forget? She was going to send the CEO because of that assignment. Emily unlocked her car, got in, and drove out of the industry. Emily's face wore a reminiscent smile as she thought about what had happened the previous night. "Go out on a date with me." Joel had told her. And before she could talk, she had felt his lips crash against her's. Forgetting about her worries and everything else, she had closed her eyes and deepened the kiss by opening her mouth slightly and letting Joel's tongue twirl in her mouth. She had sent her left hand to the back of Joel's neck and up into his hair and had svcked and nibbled on Joel's lips. They'd both gone into the fantasy land and hadn't noticed Dan
As his best friend, that night, Vincent had told Joel in their third year in high school that he was in love with Danielle and that he had been in love with her since they were freshmen in high school.Joel had told him to confess his feelings for Danielle to her that night and like he was told to, Vincent had dressed up and headed to Danielle's apartment to confess his feelings for her to her but only to get there and meet his crush and best friend making out on a couch."Vincent, aren't you going to saying something?" Danielle sniffed.Vincent opened his eyes and twitched his lips as he was brought back to the present."I need your help, Oppa." Danielle pouted her mouth."What do you want me to do Elle?" Vincent asked silently.Danielle smiled and walked over to the armchair Vincent was sitting in. She sat on Vincent's la
She picked four chopsticks and hastily rushed out of the kitchen. "Hand over the key, I'll drive." Michael grinned as he sighted Emily walk out of the lounge. "Uhn." Emily nodded her head and handed the car key over to Michael. She sat in the back seat with Little Pumpkin while Joel sat in the passenger's seat. Emily grinned as they drove out of the villa, she was thankful she had prepared extra egg roll-ups. "But, where are we going to?" She furrowed her brows. "The beach!!!" Little Pumpkin, Joel, and Michael chorused. "Ahhhh" Emily chuckled. Danielle balled up her fists as she watched the car drive out of the villa through her window. Anyways, Vincent was going to get rid of the wench anytime soon so she had no problem. Danielle turned awa
Vincent rocked his chair back and forth as he went deep in thought. He was definitely doing the right thing for the woman he loved. 🌹 E C S T A S Y 🌹 Joel swallowed the lump in his throat and looked away. After everything, that was her response—really? His eyelashes wavered slightly as he looked out through the window. Emily heaved a sigh as she also looked out through the window. She gave him the right response, she was sure she did; but would the CEO hate her, now? Now that she had given him that reply? Emily sighed sadly—maybe she shouldn't have given him that reply. As soon as the chauffeur had driven into the villa, Joel hastily stepped out of the car and headed into the lounge. He climbed up the stairway, opened
Noah let out a small smile. "I collected the CCTV recording from the owner of the restaurant. Boss, she had mistaken Vincent for you."Joel looked up at him and swallowed again. It was indeed true, she had said CEO Joel in the video.Noah nodded his head, "Boss she loves you indeed."Noah took time to explain himself. "She has nothing to do with Vincent. She met him the same day she met you."He grinned. "You are safe, Boss. The woman you love loves you."Joel swallowed again and stared intensely at the tablet in his hand. She loved him.So, all of those things she said whenever she was drunk, were indeed true—she loved him. It was him she loved—Him—Joel.He gasped happily and looked up at Noah."You... This video, she loves me? She truly loves me?" He chortled.
It was true. She was indeed taking that girl's case with levity hands. The girl already managed to be among the Top 10 Best South Korean Broadcasters. If she wasn't taken care of, she would snatch the first position from her. The first position she had just managed to get after Sandra retired from the industry.Her hope now was the CEO. The CEO was her only hope. The documentary must not be done. Stephanie was one hundred percent sure the CEO wouldn't give in to Emily's pleas. But at the same time, she was scared.She needed to take that filthy witch down to the lowest level and back into the streets; where she came from!She needed a scandal. Oh yeah, she did. A scandal that would ruin that girl's reputation completely. A sex scandal would do.
Blindly, she struggled to her feet and coughed again.Where she was, she didn't know; but she knew without a shadow of a doubt that she had been kidnapped. She wasn't so stupid.Blindly, she stretched out her hand and reached forward, trying to get her hands to touch the wall or something. But then, she saw oncoming torchlight and footsteps approaching her direction. With the help of the approaching torchlight, she saw a rod on the ground, picked it up in haste, hid next to the doorway. As the footsteps and torchlight drew nearer, Emily's grip on the rod grew tighter as she raised it slightly above her head, ready to hit the person approaching.Immediately Pal Gye stepped in the doorway, she squeezed her eyes shut and hit him on the head.&nbs
Within a twinkle of an eye, he took of his clothes and raced to the bathroom before his wife would say she had changed her mind.Emily chuckled and thanked God silently for the man he blessed her with. Who would believe a low life like her could send the CEO of Empire World Corporation running with few words.Slowly, she extended her hand towards the drawer and placed the wine glass on it.She unzipped her dress and slipped out of it, leaving her body left with a black bra and pant. She wore Joel's bathrobe that was lying on the bed and headed for the bathroom.There, she saw her husband under the running shower, running his hand through his hair.Taking in every detail of his nakedness with her eyes, she blushed; he was even much more handsome when naked, with water running down his body.Since Joel had his back to the doorway, he didn't see Emily step into the bathroom. With her eyes still on her husband, Emily slid down the bathrobe and silently, she tiptoed to Joel and wrapped her
***The following day, news that the CEO of Empire World Corporation, the richest man in Asia, and every woman's crush, was getting married, was released. It travelled far and wide. It was the talk of Asia.Women were jealous, men were now at peace, thinking their wives would stop crushing on him when he gets married."Is it Stephanie. . .?""Is it someone else who is as wealthy as him?""How come no knows who his bride is.""No! He shouldn't get married.""Mine."The whole of Asia was in chaos as no one knew exactly who the lucky woman was.The only thing everyone knew was the day the wedding would take place and that was the next day. Everybody was eager to know who the woman he was getting married to was.The Manchesters and the Chois spent the day planning on the wedding.* * *"Wow! The gown is so gorgeously beautiful!" Evelyn gasped as she watched Emily step out of her closet in a dazzling diaphanous flowing wine gown that fitted her perfectly.The gown had tiny diamonds fasten
She smirked and walked down the corridor.***"You caused this!" Stephanie yelled at Carmen as she packed her few belongings.Her body was shaking vigorously in utter anger, "You caused all of this! I regret the day you became my manager!"Carmen who had been trying to keep her cool flew up in anger when she heard Stephanie's last sentence."Mbo? Did you just say you regret the day I became your manager?! I should be the one regretting the day I set my eyes on you!You are so selfish, stingy, arrogant, and aggressive! You complain even at the slightest thing! Nothing pleases you! You accuse other people of sleeping their ways up to the top like you didn't do the same, you fucking whore!" Carmen snapped.Writhing with visible anger, Stephanie raised her hand to whack Carmen's face.But before her hand could land on Carmen's face, Carmen stopped her mid air as she gripped Stephanie's wrist roughly."I'm done!" Carmen stated and pushed Stephanie's hand away.She bounced out of the office
Slowly,she stood up on her and walked over to Stephanie.Without giving it a thought,she landed a hot slap on her cheek.***Stephanie stared into Emily's eyes in anger and frustration. She would have hit Emily back but on a second thought, she also knew she deserved the slap.She stood up on her feet and scurried out of the hall in shame and disgust.Emily wiped her tears with the back of her hand and helped herself out of the hall without looking back at anybody."Should we go after her?" Min Ah asked Maria as they watched Emily walk out dejectedly."Ani. She needs time alone." Maria replied,sighing.Emily sobbed silently as she walked to her office. She had been such a fool to believe Stephanie had really changed her attitude towards her.She sniffed, turning the doorknob to her her office. She stepped in and froze at the sight of who was sitting on her chair."Why are you crying?" Joel asked, looking into her eyes.Emily pouted her lips sulky, blinking her eyes rapidly as she retur
After a short while, Emily appeared and the duo walked out of the lounge, hand in hand.***"Call me when you are through with work, and please don't stress yourself at all." Joel pleaded.The couple were now in EWEI and Emily was preparing to step out of the car."Arasseo." Emily replied with a grin on her face.She leaned in and kisses her husband before stepping out of the car.Joel smirked and chuckled as he watched his walk into the the broadcasting building."Go." He ordered the chauffeur."Wait!" He retorted almost immediately as soon as his eyes caught the sight of someone.The chauffeur who was about to start the car stopped.Joel's gaze followed Stephanie as she walked with her manager. He smirked and looked away.It was showtime.He picked up his phone and dialed Noah."Boss." Noah voiced out as soon as he answered the call."It's high time Stephanie left EWEI. Do the needful.""Ye."With that, he hung up."Move it." He ordered the chauffeur and soon, they were out of EWEI.
As soon as Joel got in the car, he picked up his phone and dialed Dr. Clinton's number."Are they still in the hospital?" He asked as soon as Dr Clinton picked his call.Knowing the 'they' that the CEO was talking about was his brother and his brother's family, Dr. Clinton replied with a "they left the hospital a while ago.”Joel nodded his head like Dr. Clinton could see him from the other side of the phone and hanged up without saying another word.He kick-started the car and drove out if the mansion.Since the Chois also lived in Grand Residential Close, it didn't take him much time to arrive at the villa."Is my brother back yet?" He asked as he parked his car and stepped out of the car."Ye." was the guards' replies.Joel nodded his head curtly and walked into the lounge."Uncle JJ!" Little Pumpkin who had missed his uncle squelched as soon as he saw Joel walk in.The young boy was seated between his parent, watching a movie when Joel walked in.Joel grinned as he carried his nep
'Isn't this Vincent's house...?’ She thought.Joel got hold of her hand and squeezed it lovingly as they walked into the mansion. He know different thoughts would be going through her mind.Emily looked up at her husband and he smiled at her reassuringly."You knew we were coming, didn't you?" Mrs Chen asked as soon as she sighted her parents seated on a couch.She was sure her parents had spies spying on her and her family.And she knew that even though they had told her they wanted to have nothing to do with her, they still loved her."Why are you here, you disobedient child?" Old master Choi's voice rang out.Although the man was old, his voice still held authority in it.Mrs Chen inhaled deeply, tilting her head to the side as she forced tears back. She fell on her knees."I'm sorry for being disobedient… you were right about him... Please forgive me... Jebal. Please..." Mrs Chen stuttered amidst tears.Old madam Choi who could no longer bear the sight of her daughter who she hadn
" Yah!" Emily yelled angrily.Joel could no longer help it as he bursted into laughter.Emily looked startled as she watched her husband. 'what's funny about what I said'After calming down, Joel looked into his wife's eyes with a wide smile plastered on his face."Emily my darling, if you don't like something, say it out." He said."And I'm sorry about that. When we get to the villa, I'll have a thorough bath and I will dispose these clothes.” He added looking down at the shirt and trouser he was wearing.Emily nodded her head meekly."Good" Joel smiled and kissed her on her lips."You should have just slapped her hard and told her never to touch your husband again." Joel teased.Emily sneered, eyeing him.Joel bursted into another round of laughter and kissed his wife again, this time,more slower and longer than before. He kissed her tenderly, their soft lips dancing to a tune being played by their hearts.After a few minutes, grudgingly, Joel pulled away and smooched Emily's forehe
***"Don't you think I should go with you?" Joel asked as he trailed closely behind Emily."About us." He added."She should be the first person to know. Huh? Please, pleasee..." He pleaded.Emily rolled her eyes,groaning. "Ahhh, arassoooo!"She turned around and resumed walking.Joel grinned, balling his left hand into a victorious fist. "Yes!"He had made up his mind to never leave his wife's side, for the main time at least.The couple made their way towards their car and got in. Before he could turn on the ignition, Joel's phone began ringing.He dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out his phone. He furrowed his brows at the unknown number calling him before he swiped the answer icon."Yeoboseyo?" his deep voice went straight into the mouthpiece of the phone."Joel…" came the voice from the other side of the call.Joel pressed his lips in a thin line. He knew who the voice belonged to, Danielle."Why are you calling me even when you're in prison?" Joel asked grimly.The nigh
