Vera Anderson's POV The time for the interview has finally come. I looked again at the sequence number and I was second to the last on the list. The receptionist told me that we are only thirty applicants so I am number twenty-nine. I am just hoping that this would gonna be my lucky number. While waiting for my name to be called, I kept on thinking why the woman named Margaret mistook me for someone else. She called me Andrea a while ago not only once but twice. But when I told her my name, I saw a sneering smile on her lips. I found out she is also an applicant here and she is number twenty-eight. I secretly looked at her who was sitting a little distant from me. I can say she is pretty and sexy in her above-the-knee maxi dress. But I think her attire is not fitted for a job interview. Anyway, it's her preference and if she's feeling comfortable with it then, that would be fine. One hour had passed, and I think twenty applicants were already interviewed. And as I looked at their
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 25- Confession
Royce Miller's POV Finally, Vera went out of my office. I was really afraid, I could not be able to control my feelings and kissed her. Everything seemed to be blocking every logical reasoning I had in mind but glad I did not give in. I could also sense she was nervous a while ago, but maybe because she was really thinking of me as Reid, who was known to be an intimidating person. Starting tomorrow Vera will be working here with me. And I could not help but worry if I could still be able to manage everything when I know she is just around in the office previously occupied by Walter. I leaned my back on the swivel chair and waited for the last applicant to come in. After a while, she entered the office, wearing a flirtatious smile on her lips. I thought I'd done encountering this kind of woman after Margaret went out, but here's another one who wants to flirt with me. Yet, it doesn't affect me anymore because right now, I only have one woman in my heart and mind. At last, I'm done w
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 26- Intimate Moments
Vera Anderson's POV"Did I hear it right, Vera? Do you love me too?", Royce asked me after we shared a long deep kiss. We stared at each other again, no words spoken but our hearts understood what we were trying to say. He gently pulled my hand and kissed it passionately. The overwhelming emotion enveloped my heart especially when I heard him saying he loves me. It was just like a sweet symphony to my ears that I wanted to hear over and over again. How I wished this moment would never end so we could stay like this without thinking other people except the two of us."Vera? Will you please say it again?", Royce asked, still holding my hand."Say what?", I responded, pretending I did not get it."Please say you love me too. I want to hear it again", he pleaded while his eyes still glued at me.I smiled and was about to say it when the waiter arrived bringing the food we ordered earlier. Royce shook his head as if to say he got the wrong timing. We both chuckled as I shrugged my shoulder
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 27- First Day of Work
Vera Anderson's POVThe loud buzzing sound of my alarm clock wakes me up early in the morning. It's a good thing that I set an alarm otherwise, I could not be able to wake up at this hour. I'm still feeling a little groggy and something down here hurts a bit but I'm thinking about my work at META so I need to come as early as seven. I stood up and grabbed my towel to take a bath. As soon as I feel the cold water dripping into my skin, my senses were awakened and Royce's naked image ran through my mind. I couldn't help but admire his good physique which made him even hotter. I smiled when I remembered the happy moments we shared together last night. Royce was really good in bed no wonder, plenty of women swooned over him. I took a deep breath when I realized we don't have labels because this is what I wanted to. I believe when he said he loves me, but how long would it last? Being loved by a womanizer like him seemed to be a wishful thinking on my part but whether it was or not, only t

Royce Miller's POVAfter I dropped Vera off at their house, I went home right away because I need to take a rest for my work tomorrow. I would have wanted to be with her for a long time but I was also thinking about my work at the office. I sighed because I already missed her so badly. Is this how you feel when you fall in love? I smiled as I remembered the intimate moments we shared together. It was like heavens to me, knowing I'm the first man she has given herself to.On the other hand, I also feel a little sad because she doesn't want commitments. I understand her because I was known to be a womanizer and maybe she is just afraid that she would end up hurting. But I will never hurt her. How could I do such thing when she is the only woman I love? Anyway, we'll be seeing each other more often starting tomorrow since she will start working in META. I smiled when I suddenly remembered what she looked like when she said she had to go home because she still have work tomorrow. If only
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 29- Welcome Dinner
Vera Anderson's POV My mood was totally ruined after Margaret kissed Reid and I don't even know why I feel this way. All I know was that I'm not already in the mood. That woman was pissing me off and I don't like her. If she is really interested of Reid, then she is supposed not to do it here in META. She could have done it somewhere else. " Miss Vera, are you okay?", Reid asked me, with his voice a little shaky. "I'm fine sir, thank you", I responded, trying to sound natural. There was a deafening silence for some time but I'm just waiting here whenever he wants to chat with me. I can see Reid was busy encoding something on the computer. But sometimes I caught him taking a glimpse at me as if there's something he wanted to say. I did not bother asking him, instead, I focused my eyes on my computer screen. I just let the sliding door open so that, I could easily hear whenever he is talking to me. Then he stood up and came towards me. I slightly raised my head to meet his gaze. "
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 30- Suppression
Royce Miller's POVWhen I saw Vera enter the function hall, my heart beat faster. She looks so beautiful in her long maxi dress like the real greek goddess who descended from Mount Olympus. Her loose long wavy dark brown hair also goes along with the swing of her body while going to where I am. Everyone's eyes were set on her like they were mesmerized by her presence. And I hate those men who can't take their eyes off her. The dress perfectly fits her, well, she didn't know that I personally chose the color and design of it.My heart kept pounding inside my chest upon looking at the woman I love coming towards me. If only I could tell the world who I really am and tell them how I love this woman. Yet, that's way too far at this very moment. God knows how much I wanted to tell Vera that it's me, yet, I was thinking of the possible consequences that might happen. So I have to act professionally because, with one false move, everything would surely go downhill.As soon as Vera got to whe
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 31- A Woman's Intuition
Vera Anderson's POV I have been lying in bed for several hours, but I'm still wide awake with my eyes focusing on the ceiling. It seems sleepiness doesn't want to visit me no matter how much I've tried all the sleeping positions. Everything that happened on my first day of work at META kept on coming back to my mind and I couldn't help but think about it deeply. I did not expect that I would be uncomfortable while I was with Reid inside the office. I don't understand why my heart kept on racing when he stared at me. And even when we were at the Welcome Dinner, I felt like I was drowning in the shivering sensation when his warm hand was clasping mine. And I'm certain that only one person had that effect on me. It's just Royce! The other side of my brain debated because how could it be Royce when he is in Beverly Hills? Besides, how could it be possible when Royce was not interested in business? I am really confused and I don't know what to believe. A part of my brain says it's Reid bu

Vera's POVOne week had passed after my last conversation with Royce yet the sting of our farewell was still present. I thought it would be easy for me but with each passing day, I felt an inexplicable sadness and emptiness deep within. I was supposed to be happy with my decision but it did not turn out as I expected to happen. Until I found myself aimlessly scrolling through my phone, ending up in the recycle bin. The photos of Royce and me, which I had previously removed, were still there. As I looked at them, my tears began to flow one by one, as I yearned for those times we spent together.Dave on the other hand was just waiting for me to say 'yes' to his marriage proposal.

I was just thankful that nothing bad happened to him, otherwise, I couldn't find peace of mind in my lifetime.Reid and Mrs. Miller asked me to stay in the hospital until Royce woke up. But I decided to leave since I did not want him to see me. I was eternally grateful to him for saving me and my baby, and for that, I had already forgiven him. That was all.Meanwhile, I was thinking about Margaret. Finally, we got justice for Andrea. Her life imprisonment would be enough to pay for all the things she did to me, to my sister, and Roxette. Suddenly, Harold was knocking at the door. I knew that it was him since he usually knocked three times."Yes boo, come in!", I said.Harold entered my room and sat on my bed. "How are you, sweetie?""I'm fine boo.""Uhm, what do you want to do now sweetie? Are you still planning to go to Canada and settle the
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 104- Interception
Vera's POV While the jury was still deliberating about Margaret's cases, we took first a break outside. Vince approached us while Royce remained seated on a couch a little distant from us. "Hi babe!", Vince greeted Alexa with a kiss, and then he turned to me. "Hi Vera", he said and hugged me. "Hello, Vince. It's good to see you here! Uhm, by the way, this is my Mom. I mean, my biological mother and my younger sister", I said. "Hmm. Yes. Alexa told me about it", Vince responded and greeted Mom. "Hi, Aunt Olivia. Hello, little girl!", he messed up my little sister's long hair. She was a shy-type girl but according to my mother, she was not like this before when Andrea was still alive. She was attached to my twin sister so until now, she still couldn't move on from what happened. "Uhm, Vince let me introduce to you my friend Dave." "Dave, this is Vince, Alexa's boyfriend." Vince smiled and greeted him with a handshake. "Hi, bro! Nice meeting you." Dave returned the smile, but s
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 103- Face Trial
Vera's POV It was my alarm clock that woke me up from sleep. Despite the early hour, I had to get up due to Margaret's impending trial, a day I had been eagerly anticipating. I was hopeful for a just verdict that would make Margaret accountable for her actions. After this, I would be staying in Canada for good. This had been my plan before but it did not realize because I still wanted Margaret to pay for Identity Theft and most importantly, for killing my sister. My mother and I had already concurred on this. I would be living with her and my younger sister to make up those times we were not together. And--- Dave unexpectedly crossed my mind. I pondered over the possibility of accepting his marriage proposal. After all, he was a decent man, and eventually, I would learn to love him. But what if I fail? Everyone advised me to accept Dave's proposal for my baby's sake. Yet, I harbored doubts, as I didn't want to take advantage of his kindness. It would be unfair to him. A phone ca
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 102- Behind the Hatred
Royce's POV For us to avoid the media men, Reid and I took the elevator going to the basement. "Bro, are you okay?", I asked and tapped his shoulder, Reid just let out a heavy sigh, instead of answering my question. "Are we going home now bro? I think you need to take some rest", I said as I started the engine. "Nope, bro. Let's drop by at the police station. I wanted to see that traitor friend of mine!", Reid gritted his teeth as he emphasized the word 'traitor'. I did as what I was told to do but I did not bother to talk to him while we were on our way. I knew he was not okay. The corners of his mouth turned down in a sad frown while his brows furrowed. His complexion paled as if the blood had drained from his face. His gaze was a mixture of pain and anger for being betrayed by his best friend. A few moments later, we arrived at the police station. Reid got out of the car first so I hurried to get out as well. We entered at the entrance door and the first thing that caught ou
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 101- Gradual Resolution
Royce's POV Finally, the stars were aligned with us. With the help of our competent detectives, the police were able to catch the other kidnappers involved in Reid's kidnapping incident. We also found out that one of them was the driver who bumped into Dad's car, so, that person was indicted in a murder case. The police asked him the reason for killing my father but he said he was just following an order from his 'boss'—something that was baffling in my mind. Moreover, Nicholas Monet, also known as 'Simon Morris' was caught by the authorities at the LA Cruise Terminal when he was about to board a cruise ship. This time, I would make sure that this fucking asshole would be put behind bars and pay for all the crimes he committed. However, the person who ordered him to illicitly withdraw funds from our account was not yet identified. Until now, I still couldn't figure out who was behind it. On the other hand, Uncle Sam and Charles were already convicted of embezzlement and attempted

Royce's POV As soon as mom saw us at the door, she felt a sense of relief that was like a soothing balm, easing the worry that gnawed her heart from the time Reid was kidnapped until I left to meet the kidnappers. She quickly ran towards us and opened her arms. "Reid! Oh! God Thank you so much!", mom exclaimed and hugged us while tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. "Are you okay son? Did they not hurt you?" "I'm fine, mom", Reid responded softly. "Royce! Thank you for fulfilling your promise to bring your brother back home. I'm glad you are both safe!", she said as she wiped her tears away. Her face lit up with a bright smile whispering words of love and joy as she embraced us warmly. But despite her smile, restlessness was evident in her eyes, indicating the need for her to get some rest. So Reid and I accompanied her to her room and waited until she had drifted off to sleep. Together we left mom's room, moving quietly so as not to disturb her. "Bro, I think you need to take
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 99- Rescuing Reid
Royce's POV The ransom demanded for the release of my brother was already inside the money bag. Everything was set ready, but still waiting for the kidnappers' call to provide the precise location of our meetup. They insisted that I would come alone and I had to follow them for my brother's safety. However, the police had organized a backup team that would support me in carrying out my plan. Suddenly our residence telephone rang. I hurriedly picked it up for I thought it was coming from the kidnappers. "Good morning sir. This is from Ally Bank. We would like to inform you that your family savings account is temporarily frozen because we noticed suspicious activity", the bank personnel spoke intently. "What do you mean suspicious activity sir?", I asked in confusion. "After you had withdrawn the substantial sum of 100 million dollars, another transaction took place, depleting 500 million dollars from the account. It was only later when we discovered that Reid Miller's signature wa
