Giselle closed her eyes at the loud sound of Blaire’s voice."He did what now?" Blaire asked, sounding excited.Giselle shook her head. "It is not an exciting thing, Blaire.""Why not? Of course it is. Your grumpy ex-husband kissed you!""He returned to his angry mode right after. I mean, an angrier mode.""Oh," Blaire replied.Giselle heaved a sigh."Seriously?" Blaire asked."Yes. He sent me out of his presence, Blaire. I felt terrible. I felt like the worst thing on earth." Giselle almost cried."Calm down, girlfriend. Don't think too much about it."Giselle sighed again."It is really confusing. I mean, why did he kiss you?" Blaire asked."I don't know. I am confused too. The kiss was..." Giselle paused, thinking about how amazing it had been. His hands around her and the intensity of his lips moving roughly on hers."How was the kiss?" Blaire asked.Giselle sighed. "Unexplainable.""Could it be that he is still in love with you?" Blaire asked."I don't know, Blaire. But he has ma

“Did you hear me?" Rob asked."I did but....""One of the company's drivers will take you. His house is not that far from here anyway," he said, typing on his laptop.Gosh. His house. I am going to his house. She said internally. "Hurry up and get the files," Rob said.She nodded slightly and walked toward the office.Entering, she moved toward the desk, picked up the files, and her eyes went to his portrait again.She wondered why he wanted her to come to his house. She hadn't been expecting this.Sighing, she walked out of the office with the files in her hands.She headed toward Rob’s desk."Go on, you are wasting time, Giselle. The driver is waiting downstairs," Rob said."Okay," she said, letting out a breath as she headed toward the elevator. She pressed the button, and the doors opened. She entered and pressed the button for the ground floor.The door closed, and she was taken down. She walked out of the elevator and exited the building.She spotted a black Escalade with the c

Xavier scoffed as she leaned down to pick up the files that had fallen from her hands while gawking at him.Or could she be drooling?Well, of course.She was drooling."Seriously, Miss Harrison? Are you always this clumsy, or did you get lost in your lousy imaginations?" he asked, walking toward the nightstand and picking up his lotion.He didn't get an answer from her."I asked you a question, Miss Harrison," he said without looking at her."I... I... am sorry," she stuttered, clearing her throat.He scoffed.He took some lotion in his palm, rubbed his hands together, and applied it to his body.He could feel her eyes on him.He guessed she was swimming in a pool of regrets right now. She must feel awful for leaving this for the stupid lover of hers.Smirking, he turned around and met her gaze, which was fixed downwards.She wasn't even staring at him.Seriously?She was just standing there with the files in her hands and... literally staring at them."What are you doing here?" he a

Giselle’s heart skipped a beat at the sound of the loud thud on the table, and she jumped.Looking around, she recognized where she was instantly until her eyes fell on an angry-looking Xavier. Oh gosh."Seriously, Miss Harrison? Sleeping on duty?" he asked."I... I am sorry, sir," she stuttered as she moved her hands over the files and pulled the laptop closer. She felt his gaze on her, making her nervous.She couldn't even remember where she had stopped.Staring at the laptop screen and then at the files, her hands became sweaty.Oh geez."How long have you been sleeping?" he asked.She looked at him but dropped her gaze immediately."I asked you a question," he demanded."Fi... five minutes," she lied. She couldn't even tell how long it had been.But honestly, she had been way gone.And oh my God, it was dark outside!"Five minutes, huh?" he asked.She nodded."Or do you mean five hours?"She shook her head. "N... no, sir...""How many files have you typed so far?" he asked.She n

Giselle was dumbfounded at the sight of Xavier in his car, asking her to get in.Wait, did he really just... is he actually here? She asked internally. "Come on, shawty!" the men called, making her look their way. They were waving at her."Are you coming in or not?" Xavier asked.She quickly ran toward the passenger seat, opened the door, and entered.He started the car and drove away.Giselle let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.Her heart raced as the car moved.She couldn't believe she was in Xavier’s car. He actually came out for her.Is this real?This is real.She was actually in his car.He came out for her!Does this mean he cares about her?She looked at him.He was focused on the road.She withdrew her eyes from him, her heart still racing. It did mean that he cared about her.I mean, what other explanation could there be?She fiddled with her fingers as her heart kept twirling in excitement.She dropped her gaze on her bag. She should thank him.She should.He

Giselle nodded. "Your boss dropped you?!" Blaire exclaimed. Giselle nodded again. "Yes." "Why? What happened to his anger and hatred towards you?" she asked. "I am as surprised as you are. But he said that if anything happens to me, it will be on his company. He doesn't want that. He didn't do it for me," Giselle replied. Blaire scoffed. "Yeah right. Giselle, your ex-husband still cares about you." Giselle shook her head. "I don't think so. What he said was a solid reason. He doesn't care about me." "But hold on, he knows where you live now?" Blaire pressed. Giselle shook her head, making Blaire furrow her brows. "I knew the kids would be on the balcony, so I made him drop me at the last building." "Wow. That's clever. Trust me, Archie would surely call after you if you had dropped here," Blaire said. "You’re talking as if I don't know my kids," Giselle replied. Blaire chuckled. "I couldn't risk it. I had to take him down there," Giselle said, removing the band from her ha

Cameron was Giselle's best friend.Giselle can’t believe Cameron is right in front of her.And she looked very different and beautiful.And in a lab coat.She had succeeded in becoming a doctor.Oh my gosh.Giselle couldn't stop staring at her. Cameron was staring back, but in a strange way.Wasn't she happy to see her?Rob pinched Giselle lightly, making her look at him. He moved his eyes, signaling her to pay attention.Giselle noticed everyone looking at her, including Xavier. She realized that she had just interrupted rudely.Oh gosh.Xavier scoffed.Giselle dropped her gaze."Forgive the insolence of my pathetic personal assistant, Mr. Vincent," Xavier said, making her clench the file and fight herself internally.She had gotten carried away."It is okay, Mr. Sheffield. I understand how incompetent employees can be," Mr. Vincent replied.Giselle sighed softly.Xavier let out a chuckle. "I am glad you do. This way, please." He led the way to what she thought was the meeting hall.

"Oh, my. Are you okay?" Rob asked, walking towards Giselle who is on the floor."You have got to be kidding me," Xavier said."What a clumsy PA you have here, Mr. Sheffield," Mr. Vincent said amusingly as Giselle moved to get up while Rob picked up the papers for her."Just give the files to me, Rob," Xavier said, sounding pissed. He collected the files from Rob angrily. Giselle stood up straight."I am sor—""You, get the fuck out!" he yelled at her.A pool of humiliation poured over Giselle.She walked towards her seat, picked up her bag, and walked out of the hall."I apologize for the incompetence, Mr. Vincent. Let's discuss the monetary terms," she heard Xavier say as she closed the door.Letting out a sigh, she moved towards the waiting seats on the left side of the door.Giselle sat down, feeling tears welling up but suppressing them.She had just humiliated herself in front of everyone. Nice try, Giselle.Could working there get any worse?She exhaled as she dipped her hand in

Loads of regrets washed over her as he smirked at her.She felt terrible.She felt dirty.She felt shameful.She felt pissed beyond anything. She pushed him away, and he almost fell."You bastard!" she yelled, pushing him again."Don't you ever come near me again!" she almost cried, running out of the kitchen.She ran toward the restroom and entered one of the stalls. Sitting on the toilet seat, she covered her face with her hands.She cried silently, feeling very awful.That didn’t just happen to her.He was a devil.He was a bastard!She hated him!She hated him so much.What is wrong with you, Giselle? How could she let him come near you like that?How?!What is wrong with you?!She hugged herself, sniffling.She felt so pathetic.She couldn’t believe she let this happen.She felt very awful.Damn you, Xavier.Damn you!*******After some minutes in the bathroom, she headed back to the studio. She managed to compose herself before stepping out.She still felt awful, but she had to

Giselle turned her gaze away from Xavier just as Damien pulled away from the hug. He gave her a pleasant smile, and she returned it, though a wave of nervousness still lingered beneath the surface.She felt exposed beneath the dress, knowing there was nothing underneath to shield her, though the fabric did its job—barely. The slit ran dangerously high.Harley had picked the dress for her.In fact, Harley had orchestrated everything. She had intentionally caused delays in their preparations and misled Rob with false information.She’d wanted to mess with Arabella a little, claiming Arabella would fall for the misinformation and act immediately.Giselle had her doubts—but looking at Arabella now, caked in makeup and visibly fuming, it was obvious she had taken the bait.It was actually hilarious.“So, what do you think, Damien?” Harley asked.Damien shook his head slowly, his eyes still fixed on Giselle with awe, much like the others in the room.“I think I’m going to make a lot of sale

Ava bit her lips, regretting asking the question. Well, she can't back down now. She has to finish what she started.She couldn't ignore the signs. Her curiosity had to get the best of her.She seriously can't believe Giselle is here and in front of her.The same Giselle her mean girlfriend hates so much."Um...Cameron is an old friend. She talks about her friend called Giselle sometimes." Ava said.Giselle’s face twitched."So I wanted to know if you are the same Giselle she was talking about." Ava said."Yes. Cameron is my best friend." Giselle said, smiling a little.Ava is amazed by that.Giselle is not as she expected. She just called Cameron her best friend.And happily too.Giselle is instantly reminded of the little issue between her and Cameron."But we.....," she paused, looking at her fingers but looked back at Ava. "We are not in good terms."Ava nodded. "Really? Mind telling me why?Giselle shrugged but furrowed her brows a little as she recalled something."Wait, are you

Giselle furrowed her brows as Ava continued staring at her in a blank but strange way."Do you know her?" Elodie asked Ava."What? No, no. Her name is just familiar," Ava said, extending her hand to Giselle and smiling.They shook hands."It is nice to meet you," Ava said."Same here," Giselle replied, smiling a little."So, where did you and my dad meet?" Elodie asked Giselle."I told you, princess," Damien said."I know, Dad. I just want to hear it again, but from her," Elodie said, smiling at Giselle.Giselle let out a chuckle. "We met at the mall. He was buying some pretty dresses for you," she said, making Elodie giggle."And we met again today at the company where I work," Giselle added."That means you both are meant to be," Elodie said, making them chuckle."That's enough questions, princess. Let's have dessert," Damien said, motioning toward the dining table.Elodie held Giselle's hand as they headed toward the dining table.She is so adorable, Giselle thought.When they reac

Xavier was scowling at her, still pinning her to the wall.She struggled to push him away, but his strength was always too strong to fight against."What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you keep following me, huh? Go and be with your perfect baby girlfriend," she said angrily."What's your deal with my client, huh?" he asked, ignoring her words.She scoffed. Seriously?"What's your deal with him? All of a sudden he wants a change and he chose you?""Yes, he chose me. Why do you have a problem with that?" she replied.He clenched his jaw."What? Are you upset he doesn't want your mighty celebrity model anymore?"He didn't respond but kept scowling at her."News flash, Xavier, the world doesn't, and won't revolve around her even if you are the wealthiest man on earth," she retorted.He hummed. "I see. I get it now. I see why he prefers you."She looked away from him."Damien is one of your clients, isn't he?"She looked at him with furrowed brows. "Excuse me?""He is one of those men

“Yes, that's right. Damien from the mall the other day," Harley said.Giselle nodded slightly as Damien kept staring at her. She moved a strand of her hair behind her ear nervously. He was dressed in a blue suit, looking more handsome than the first time she saw him."You didn't tell us you were THE Damien Walker of Walker Textiles. Hell, you didn't show off as a CEO," Harley said, making Damien chuckle."No, I don't do that. Especially when I was smitten by your sister here," Damien said, looking at Giselle."Oh," Harley responded.Damien smiled at Giselle, and she smiled back."She is not her sister," Xavier spoke up, claiming their attention and reminding them of his presence."What?" Damien asked."She is Harley’s assistant," Xavier said."Well, she is more than that, Damien. That's why I called her my sister," Harley said, smiling at Damien."I see," Damien said. He extended his hand to Giselle. She placed her hand in his."I am happy to see you again, sunshine. You look stunning

“We have to talk," Arabella said, making Giselle roll her eyes."I have nothing to say to you," she replied, walking past her."You think you are winning, aren't you? Because Harley has your back."Giselle stopped in her tracks and turned to her.Arabella raised her brows. “Excuse me?" Giselle asked. "You heard me.""What? Are you jealous?" Giselle asked.Arabella scoffed. "Of you? Stop dreaming, bitch."Giselle chuckled. "You are jealous, Arabella. Harley is Xavier’s only family. You are jealous because you don't have her approval to marry her brother," she said, smiling.Arabella scowled at her."I am correct, aren't I?" Giselle asked. Arabella didn't respond."I know you are young. But you shouldn't be a fool as well." Giselle said. "What the fuck did you just say to me?" Arabella asked. "You heard me. You want to marry Xavier so bad, right? You should be trying to get his sister's approval and not provoke her like you did back at the studio." Giselle said. Arabella scoffed.

Just as she had thought. That stranger was her twins' father. The DNA test results had just proved it.Her heart tightened severely as she looked at the results."I am so sorry, Giselle," Cameron said, drawing Giselle's attention."I know you wanted Xavier to be their father," Cameron added.Giselle shook her head. "It's okay. I did want that, but it is clear now. Everything ended between Xavier and me a long time ago. These results just confirmed it," she said, dropping her gaze as tears threatened to spill.Cameron quickly collected the results from her, making Giselle look at her.Cameron was staring at something behind Giselle. "Xavier’s sister is coming," she whispered, causing Giselle's heart to drop."Is something wrong, Giselle?” Harley asked.Giselle turned to her. "Huh, nothing. Nothing is wrong. Just talking with my friend," she replied.Harley folded her hands and looked at Cameron."Hmm, friend. Cameron, right?" Harley asked."Yes. Doctor Cameron, it is nice to formall

Giselle's heart pounded as Xavier got closer to her. His piercing blue eyes on hers made her very uneasy.Seriously, why is he here?!"Xavier...""What the fuck are you wearing?" he retorted.She was taken aback by his question.Was that the reason he followed her up here? To ask her about her dress?He was scowling at her.She managed to put on a smile. "I am wearing a dress. What? Do you like it?"He clenched his jaw angrily. "Don't fuck with me, Giselle," he snarled.Giselle shrugged. "What did I do?"He closed his eyes and opened them as if trying to suppress his anger.What was with him?"What is it with you and my sister, huh? Why the fucking foolishness?" he asked.She scoffed. "Foolishness? Your sister employed me as her assistant. I don't see any foolishness in that. Why does it upset you, huh?"He scowled at her."What? Do you hate the fact that I am no longer slaving around for you or cleaning like you wanted me to?" she asked, and the next thing he did was grab her arm, ca
