[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.“Good night, Otis, Jasper,” Camari said before she exited the elevator.“Good night,” my assistant and I replied. I nodded to Nicole, who glanced at me.“Choosing Miss Gastrell to be your secretary was the right choice,” Jasper said after the elevator doors closed. “She knows many peop

The event went well. Everyone followed each session calmly. The guests didn't even look at me excessively. My new friends greeted me kindly and talked to me as we enjoyed the food and drinks.However, I was nervous when walking among the crowd. Their bodies were so tall, intimidating me. Even if they only walked beside me, being among big people scared me. I trembled that they would surround me and hurt me.What Jim did on the basketball court wasn't the only incident I experienced. I endured a lot of bullying, which, unfortunately, haunted me in my dreams. Schoolmates, neighborhood kids, and even my siblings bullied me.“You don't undergo this every time Miss Gastrell is around. You need to reconsider coming alone to such a crowded event, sir,” Jasper said worriedly.I shook my head slowly. “I have to start, Jasper. That’s nothing compared to another big event. Have you forgotten the company anniversary is coming up?” I was relieved that I was getting better.“You're seriously going

I put my bag down on the couch and walked to the bathroom. After cleaning myself up and changing, I sat on the sofa and stared at the night view outside the window. I sighed softly. My plans for tonight were ruined.Even so, I managed to mask my disappointment at the club. I didn't want to ruin Jasmine's mood. She had already relented by agreeing to my request to come to the club. I didn't let Russell's behavior affect me.Farrell and I had been acquainted for quite a while. Although we had known each other for two years, he and I were both busy with work. He rarely called or texted when we were dating. I couldn't always see him on weekends because I was visiting my parents.He confessed his love after two years of acquaintance. We were in a relationship for three years and married for three years. Yet our relationship fell apart. I found out his heart was for another woman while we were together.Russell and I had only met three times, but he had already expressed his love. I didn't e

I didn't want to think about him, so I took it to the kitchen and put it on the counter as a decoration. I made myself some coffee and brought it to my desk. Only then did I knock on the CEO's office and see that Otis and Jasper had arrived.After greeting them, I told my boss our work schedule for the day. Just like Mr. Bloom, Otis didn't assign me to prepare drinks for him. I only needed to arrange his schedule, prepare the files he needed to check, and accompany him to certain events.Thus, after delivering his daily schedule, I left his room. I returned to my desk and prepared myself to lead the meeting. It was my third time standing in front of executives and their secretaries. I could do better.At the end of the meeting, Otis announced the company's eleventh anniversary. Although it wasn't a special number, he welcomed any ideas for activities to celebrate the anniversary. He asked them to submit their ideas to me.“My work today was very tiring.” Jasmine stretched her body as

Nicole helped me out of the cafeteria to the elevator. She pressed the top button. I didn't know where to go. So, I chose the rooftop to get out of people's sight. Jasmine had helped me call my bodyguard.Arriving at the rooftop, I smiled at Nicole. Understanding what I meant, she let me go. Breathing in the fresh air, I walked towards the guardrail. I inhaled and exhaled slowly to calm myself down.Jasmine came over later and invited me to eat. I obliged her. She must have asked the canteen staff to pack our food and drinks earlier. We sat on a low wall and enjoyed our food.“It was only four weeks ago that Farrell pronounced the divorce. That day wasn't even a month old. Yet he's already happy with another woman and flaunting their relationship.” I chuckled. “Is he human or not?”“Three years is a short time,” Jasmine said. “Your wedding blessing is still fresh in my memory. Your white dress was beautiful. The church was decorated with white roses. You looked at each other after you

The car entered the parking lot of a fancy restaurant. I understood why she did that. She didn't want anyone to overhear our conversation. The restaurant was deserted by closing time. But the waitress let us use their dining room.I ordered a soft drink even though my stomach was full. The woman ordered a drink and a snack. As a thank you, she also ordered a main course still available for takeaway.The waitress thanked us and then left after taking down our orders. I put my hand on the table, waiting for her to tell me the purpose of our meeting. Nicole sat not far from us, ready to help in my time of need.“How are you, Camari?” asked Eleanor kindly.“Can we get to the point and skip the pleasantries?” I requested. “I'm exhausted and need to rest. I have to work tomorrow morning.”She smiled. “Interesting. You've never been this rude to me before.”“You've never been rude to me before either.” I smiled sweetly. “The incident at the hospital taught me many things about Haworth. One o

[Otis]The man sent her a bouquet on Tuesday but not on Wednesday. After sending flowers on Monday and Tuesday, I thought he would continue to do so throughout the week.Nicole had nothing to report about their conversation on Monday night. I didn't ask her to spy on Camari for me. Her job is to protect that woman. So, I wanted her to keep her distance and not invade her privacy.But I was curious. What was their relationship? Were they dating? Camari looked delighted since their meeting on Monday night. She's even more beautiful with a smile on her face. Could they be in a relationship?On Wednesday night, I met with Carlos again. He urged me to answer his request immediately. I had read his proposal carefully. He also quickly responded whenever I had questions. So, I granted his loan.“You won't regret working with me, Otis. I promise not to delay paying the installments.” Carlos smiled broadly at my answer. He approached by placing his hands on the table. “I have an interesting offe

I didn't need to ask because I knew what he did to the culprit. The bruise on his fist was enough of a clue. That guy must have been beaten up. Camari was fine and unharmed. There was no point in taking the assailant to the police.“Yes. We taught him a lesson,” Jasper replied.“Do you know why he did that?” Camari asked.Jasper glanced at me through the front mirror. He didn't need my permission to answer it. “Bella told him to. I need to make sure that his confession is true. He could be lying.”Camari let out a long breath. “When did all this stop?”Jasper was correct. They hadn't stopped bothering Camari even though she and Farrell were officially divorced. What was it that made Bella so vengeful? Camari had done nothing wrong with her and Farrell's marriage. That useless man was the villain.We parted ways with Camari at the elevator. Nicole accompanied her to her unit. I waited until I got to the apartment to talk to Jasper. Our topic was confidential, and I didn't want anyone to
