Kent guided his wife, August, into the elevator, beaming with excitement. He couldn't believe she would surprise him with a visit. "I'm so glad you're here," he murmured to himself as he stared at her, his eyes shining with affection.August didn’t hear what he said, but she noticed Kent's quiet demeanor, so she asked, "Are you mad at me?" Her voice was laced with playful concern.Kent chuckled, his deep voice low and soothing. "Are you mad?" he said as he teased her, with his gaze locked onto hers. August pouted, her lips curling into an adorable scowl. "I guess you must be really mad," she murmured, barely audible. But Kent's ears still perked up, so he looked at her lovely expression and smiled."You know I heard that," he whispered, his amusement evident. He leaned in, his breath caressing her ear. "You can't fool me, baby."August's expression remained unchanged, prompting Kent to gently turn her to face him. His fingers grazed her cheek as he tucked a stray lock behind her ear
"I'm so pissed!" Jenny fumed as soon as they left the company. Her heels clicked angrily on the pavement as she continue to rant, "Gosh, I feel like scratching that bitch's face for insulting my baby." Her voice dripped with venom, with her eyes full of hatred. How can a mere receptionist belittle her sweetheart.Thinking about it, she took her phone and was about to call Lisa when she heard a chuckling sound. She looked at the source of the sound and frowned deeply when she saw that he was the one laughing.Meanwhile, unaware of Jenny’s glare, he continued chuckling, thinking she was joking.Kevin suddenly stopped when he heard no voices. He stared at her and gulped down his saliva when he met her scorching glare which made him retreat. "Are you laughing at me?" she asked, anger lacing her voice, her brow furrowed as she stared at him.Kevin's smile immediately vanished and quickly said. "No, baby, I wasn’t laughing at you" He said as he held up his hands in defense.Seeing that s
An hour later, Kent was finally done with the meeting, he looked at the executives and adjourned the meeting, before he hastily exited the conference room, because his mind was already on August.His assistant, Mark, couldn't help but giggle at Kent's uncharacteristic behavior. The boss he knew was cold and ruthless, but now he seemed soft and like a complete lover boy."The boss has definitely changed," Mark thought, shaking his head in amusement.He was still in his thoughts, when the executive, James, broke the silence. "Don't you think boss looks different today?" He said as he asked.After saying that, he noticed that all eyes turned to him, which made him chuckle nervously. "I mean, he's different in a good way." He said again.A colleague, Emily, raised an eyebrow and asked. "Are you sure you are with us, James?"James did not understand what she meant, so he laughed and said, "What I mean is, he seems more relaxed and happy, only that he is in a hurry."Another colleague, Dav
In another country, Victor stood before the massive glass window, gazing out at the bustling road below. His assistant who was there with him nodded in respect, and waited for his boss' instructions."Any news?" Victor asked, his deep voice commanding attention."Not yet, sir. The Ken’s have tightened up their security," James replied, his eyes cast downward.Victor chuckled low and cold, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Prepare our exit. We are heading to Canada."His eyes widened with fear, knowing fully well that Victor was banned from entering Canada due to past controversies."But, sir..." the assistant tried to talk, but he was stopped by Victor, who waved his hand dismissively and said "Don't fret; I have my ways."Seeing that his boss was calm, he sighed and turned to leave when a subordinate called."What?!" He gasped, his voice laced with alarm. "Leave no trail." He ordered as he hunted up the call immediately.As soon as the call was disconnected,his expression was urgent
In a blink of an eye , it was Wednesday. Entering the office, Lisa sighed at the sight of her workaholic friend, August, whose gaze remained fixed on the computer screen."Come on, babe, you just resumed back. No need to stress yourself. Besides, I have taken care of most of the work," Lisa said, plopping herself onto the soft couch.August, who was working, finally lifted her head, her eyes locking onto Lisa's before releasing a sigh. "I know babe, I just need to cross check these files."Lisa stared at August speechlessly before using her trump card which was Kent."Baby girl, if you don't stop working right now, don't blame me for reporting you to your hubby," Lisa said with a wink and a devilish smile.August gasped in horror, as her eyes widened in alarm. "You traitor! Don’t tell me you are taking Kent's side!" She said with an accusing tone, making Lisa laugh.Lisa's laughter filled the room as she looked at August's adorable.Although she looked angry, she didn't know that her
Meanwhile, Lisa burst into Annabel's studio, out of breath and gasped for air."I thought you were not coming again," Annabel said and chuckled, as she eyed Lisa's flushed face and slightly disheveled hair.Lisa collapsed onto the nearby couch, and took a deep breath before saying. "I forgot. Completely slipped my mind."Annabel raised an eyebrow, feeling amused. So she couldn’t help but ask "Did you run here? You look like you did a marathon race." She said,Lisa nodded, still catching her breath. "I was really in a hurry. Traffic was a nightmare." She said as she recalled how she rushed to get here.Annabel laughed and shook her head. "You are usually so organized, Lisa. What happened?" She asked.Lisa inhaled deeply, as she collected her thoughts. "August and I totally forgot about the charity event tonight. Time slipped away from us."Annabel's eyes widened in surprise. "No wonder you are frantic. You can’t miss the event." She said as she laughed.Lisa stood up and composed herse
At the charity hall, the event hadn't started, but the room buzzed with influential attendees. Businessmen and women from esteemed and rich families started mingling together, eager to forge connections for their various companies.Leon stood aside, observing the crowd with a calculated smile. His secretary discreetly briefed him on the identities of most of the business men present there.After his failed collaboration with Adam Company, his CEO position was no longer stable. Shareholders threatened to oust him unless he secured a new partnership.Determined to stabilize his position, he made sure to bribe his way through the event to seek potential allies.Just as he was thinking of which business man to approach, gasps filled the air.Curious, he followed the crowd's gaze and stared at the entrance of the hall.His eyes widened. He stared at August and Lisa who entered the hall, looking radiant and breathtaking.His jaw dropped taking in the scene ."What the...!" he exclaimed, sti
When the organizer heard what was happening, he rushed to August's side, visibly flustered as his forehead beaded with sweat. He glanced around the room and saw that everyone was interested in the drama unfolding.Betty and Benita who saw the organizer coming their way immediately transformed into pitiful girls.They were sniffling and wiping away fake tears, as their eyes scanned the crowd for sympathy.“What’s going on here?”. The organizer asked coldly.Benita grinned secretly as she stared at Betty giving her sign."We were just trying to say hi, but I didn’t know they were this rude" Betty whispered, as her voice trembled, attempting to garner support.The organizer's expression turned stern, his patience worn thin by their antics."You are not worthy of their attention," he said firmly, his voice echoing through the hall.Betty drugged her well manicured nail as she stared at the organizer with hatred."Leave now. You are no longer welcome," he added, his tone brooking no argum
