Although I didn't see her face last night, I know she was the one who protected me from Mrs. Bloom's attack. Why was she doing this? Was there anyone who would hurt me in the lobby? Why did people like to make me an outlet for their anger?“I won't do it if you don't accompany me,” I threatened.“You may go first,” she said.I narrowed my eyes on her. But I had no time to waste. Work hours were about to start. So, I complied by walking towards the fire escape. There was no sound or noise from upstairs and downstairs.“Who are you? Who sent you?” I asked as I climbed the stairs.“My name is Nicole Barber. Mr. Otis Haworth hired me to protect you,” she replied.“Oh!” I turned to her cheerfully. “So, you're my bodyguard! Nice to meet you!” I extended my hand, but she urged me to keep walking.Right. I couldn't be late. I exited on the second floor and stood in front of the elevator. The doors opened after a while. I pressed the button for the upper floor and stood up casually. Arriving at

Deborah took us to the roof of the building. I didn't know what she was planning to do because there was only a helipad. She walked to the right towards the back. Jasmine and I exchanged glances. Inhaling the delicious aroma, I frowned.I opened my mouth to look at the place. There were various beautiful flowers and small trees on the other side of the roof. There was a pergola complete with chairs and tables for relaxing. Deborah invited us to sit there.I put some chips on the table and sat down. Jasmine brought canned drinks, while Deborah brought water. I didn't know there was such a beautiful place on the roof. We could see the sunset.“Do you take care of all the plants in this garden?” I asked curiously.“No.” Deborah chuckled. “I don't have time to take care of them. This place has been there since the building was completed.”“It's the perfect place to end a bad day.” Jasmine nodded in agreement. She turned to Deborah. “I got fired.”“Your boss at a loss for letting a good emp

[Otis]Nicole's report on Monday morning shattered all my hopes of mending fences with Camari. After a night of fun with them on Saturday night, they followed it up by going home together.I sighed at the picture of Bradley Hart on my tablet screen. His body was tall and muscular. He had black hair and blue eyes that many women would love to have. Camari was a perfect match for him.That woman promised me to help each other in avenging Farrell's actions. I didn't expect her to forget the main purpose of our marriage. The diversion wasn't just one, but two men who were beyond my capabilities. I couldn't attract Camari's attention like they could.“You need to have a frank talk with Mrs. Haworth,” Jasper said after Camari left my office. “She was asking what happened to make you so cold to her.”“Don't tell her anything about what happened on Sunday,” I threatened.He gave me my share of the food. “Sir, I know my limits even though I like to joke around. I won't reveal your secret to Mrs

I didn't need to tell Camari. She knew to follow me in my car. We could drive her back here to pick up her car. I reread my notes on my phone to help open up a conversation with my colleague. I could do that.Arriving at our destination restaurant, I let Camari lead us. She reported to the receptionist and a waiter escorted us to a reserved room. I ignored the stares of the guests in the main dining room.My heart was beating rapidly and my hands began to sweat. I started counting to ten in my head. I recalled my meeting with Carlos. This colleague I met was a good person. He would treat me nicely.“Good afternoon, Mr. Haworth. It's a pleasure to have you agree to see me,” the man inside the dining room said, welcoming us.“Good afternoon, Ronan. Just call me Otis.” I extended my hand to him.“Hi, Otis.” He shook my hand with a friendly smile. “Are you related to Angus Haworth?”“He's my father,” I admitted.“Wow!” he exclaimed as he shook my hand enthusiastically. “No wonder you look

[Camari]At lunchtime, I headed to the ground floor. Half of the teller seats were empty in the customer service section. They were taking turns eating lunch. I made my way to the back and passed booth after booth. I smiled when I saw the woman I was looking for.“Don't you know it's time to eat?” I teased.Jasmine lifted her face and looked at me with rounded eyes. “Camari!” Her eyes turned sad instead, staring at the papers on her desk. “I can't leave my work. There are many reports I need to study.”“This report can wait.” I came closer and held her hand. “You can't work with an empty stomach.”“Okay.” She relented and then stood up.We headed for a restaurant not far from the office building. The cafeteria must have been packed with our colleagues, not a suitable place to talk. After ordering our food at the cashier, we carried our trays to an empty table.“Oh, Camari.” Jasmine held my hand with her eyes sparkling with happiness. “Thank you for telling me about the vacancy. I didn'
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 47|The Confession
Emily put her food bag on the table and sat beside me. “I apologize. I know I'm unforgivable, but I dared to come and ask for your forgiveness.” She looked at me sadly. “I know how it feels now, being fired and unable to get a new job.”I sighed. I wanted to get angry and yell at her. But seeing her apologize so sincerely, I didn't have the heart. After all, we were best friends for eight years. I still couldn't believe she could do such a terrible thing to me.“I misjudged Bella.” She lowered her head. “I thought she was a good person, and you were the bad one. She told me about her relationship with Farrell in college. But you ruined their wedding plans.”I closed my eyes at that. She used the same story to influence Emily. Unbelievable. I was getting curious about how I could ruin their wedding plans. I didn't know them in college. We were from different colleges.“That's why I'm helping her to get back at you. She was worried that you would snatch Farrell away again if you stayed i

The man with the ID over his chest invited Otis and me to stand at a specific spot for a photo. Otis objected to us standing together, but I took his hand. We came together. Why did he refuse to take a picture of the two of us?I smiled at every camera pointing at me. I told Otis to look in the same direction. That way, our pictures would be perfect. The organizers and reporters were enthusiastic about photographing us.After a while, I thanked and said goodbye to the photographers. They shouted our names, but I ignored them. The pictures they took were more than enough. Besides, Otis was starting to look uncomfortable.The receptionist welcomed us and put pins on our clothes. She escorted us to the table where our names were. I smiled to see Otis's name and mine on the two papers instead of Bruce's.I greeted everyone at the table before sitting down. Otis just nodded his head in a friendly manner. He must not recognize these people. I knew them because Grandpa and Farrell had introdu

[Otis]Seeing Camari greet everyone at our table, I was relieved. She knew them and chatted casually. She remembered to introduce me to them. I was happy to see the men and women being friendly to me. It was uncommon to see.The mobile product launch went smoothly. I didn't like being the center of attention, but I smiled when the CEO mentioned my name. I wasn't the only investor in his company anyway. Thankfully, I chose the right product to invest my money in.It would take some time to find out whether the product was a hit or a failure. However, I was ready for the risks I had to bear. I considered many factors every time I issued a loan or a large amount of funds. My calculations were rarely wrong."We're here," Jasper reported as we arrived near Camari's car."Thank you, Jasper," Camari said.I held her hand before she opened the door. "Are you sure you can drive like this? You're sleepy, Camari," I said worriedly."I'm not sleepy. I have Nicole looking after me." She pecked my c
