“You are not disgusted by being here in my office? What changed your mind? You were never interested in using your certificate after school. You said that Dylan would take care of everything,” Gabriel reminded her. He was tired of this person he was seeing before him, feeling as if she was mocking him. After all, he had gotten used to her insolence, finding her good-girl attitude rather cunning. “Maybe I decided to get serious with business, just like my mother. Is it wrong to want to do things myself instead of allowing a man to do them for me? Is it wrong for me to want to understand exactly what this business I will be inheriting is all about?” Maeve was so pitiful that it made Gabriel sorry for being suspicious of her. “Alright, you can stay.” Gabriel picked the intercom to tell Samantha to let the guests in. Samantha ushered the two men into Gabriel’s office. After picking up the empty coffee cups, she returned with four, hot cups of coffee. From the mischievous smile on he
Gabriel felt like Maeve must have hit her head on a rock and gone into comatose, where she lost the memory of who Dylan was to her but went back to the time when they used to be very good friends. The times when Gabriel wanted to tell her how he felt about her but rather wanted to wait until she graduated from college since he was two years ahead of her.Well, Dylan appeared and changed everything but now, her behavior totally changed. ‘You kept me waiting for so long,’ Reginald messaged back, the tone sounding annoyed. ‘Because she spent the whole day in my office. We literally worked together,’ Gabriel texted back before the old man relaxed and texted again, ‘That is strange but you have to be careful. She is my daughter but Dylan could use her to spy on you.’ ‘I understand. Good night, Dad.’ ‘Goodnight, son.’ Gabriel’s father was a lecturer at the university and only had a passion for academia. His bosom friend, however, was Reginald, a very good businessman who had made bill
From the chat Gabriel had with Maeve’s father last night, he felt that he needed to be very careful since Maeve was in love with Dylan. Gabriel knew that Maeve was soft at heart with matters involving love and would blindly do anything for Dylan. He did not want to be a victim of Dylan’s schemes. Thus, his distrust was not towards Maeve but the man behind her. Besides, her father had not informed him that she would be coming in today. Moreover, her car was not in the car park, which could mean that Dylan had come to drop her off again. Maeve was saddened by his cold behavior this morning but beamed, “Good morning, Gabriel.” “Will you answer my question please?” Gabriel asked coldly. Maeve could not tell him what she came to do but was glad to have done it, knowing that after Gabriel must have read the soft copy of the document on his iPad at home, he would not know that what he had in the office had been tampered
“You still won’t forgive me even if I help you to win Dexter Gray’s heart?” Doreen could not understand the woman before her. One who she called her best friend before, and shared everything with. She never remembered discussing anything with Maeve concerning Dexter and was surprised by her suggestion. Something must have happened for Maeve to suddenly have an interest in helping her. “Did something happen between you and Dylan?” Maeve pressed her lips together and thought about the question. It was not difficult for Doreen to think that she was doing this because her relationship with Dylan had turned sour and she felt lonely. “No. But I regret accusing you wrongly and treating your brother the way I did. You two are the best things that happened to me.” Doreen smiled and looked away thoughtfully. Now she was even more certain that something had indeed happened between the couple. “How did you know that I was not interested in Dylan? Did Sandra confess it? And how did you know
“I only saw the ring. Can you tell me about his wife?” Maeve crafted a smile to hide the pain she felt every time she saw Gabriel’s ring. How strange of the fact that she recalled nothing about it and the fact that he said he loved her before her death? Something was not adding up and Maeve felt worried that she missed something or a part of her memory had been covered. Did Gabriel divorce at a point? Maeve recalled nothing of it in her past life and felt miserable talking about it. Doreen shook her head. “Even my father doesn’t know her. It was some kind of secret marriage and Gabby said she was in Hawaii. A fun-loving girl. But I know that Gabby doesn’t like fun-loving girls. He would have married Mildred if he did and he has refused to show anyone any picture of her as well.” Maeve saw the situation as dicey. If only she could remember. “Maybe…” Maeve’s phone began to ring and her heart thumped when she brought out her phone and s
At the sight of Maeve, Sandra stood up and said, “There you are, Maeve, your fiancé has been worried sick. Since you are here, I will go and rest.” She quickly ran up the stairs and Maeve realized she did that a lot, wondering how she could say these things so casually as if she was innocent of it all. Maeve laughed at the mockery of her words in her heart. “Maeve, you got us worried.” Care instantly registered in Dylan’s eyes and he stood up and circled his arms around her. She stiffened, feeling disgusted and quickly pulled away. She was tired of this fake care Dylan always tried to show her, which she always fell for in time past but now, she needed space because the air around Dylan and Sandra was sickening to her. This genius idea she just hatched, would help her to be free of this Dylan-Sandra Virus for some time. “You looked happy when I walked in,” Maeve said coldly and walked up the stairs after seeing his changed expression. It made Dylan feel that she was angry or jea
Maeve was dazed by Gabriel’s utterance. It reminded her of how he had doted on her before, bringing back sweet memories which made her feel special. Gabriel would always defend and stand by her. This was a confirmation of the last part of her death when he said that he couldn’t live without her. She smiled at the thought of the sparks she felt when she helped him with the wristwatch, wondering if he felt it too. While Maeve was lost in her thoughts, Gabriel was furious. It was not his intention to chastise anyone or show that he cared for Maeve in her presence since she was the one who opted for a divorce when they had not even consummated their marriage. He lost control because this was the third time Samantha had done this right in front of him. The first time could be a mistake and the second time an oversight, but for it to repeat the third time meant that she was doing it on purpose, and Gabriel did not like it. For as long as Maeve was under his protection, she had to be give
Maeve had known from the revelation of her past life how good Gabriel was at martial arts and wished for the argument to get intense so he would teach Dylan a lesson for her. She was happy about what happened last night. Since she pretended to be affected by seeing Dylan laughing with Sandra, it saved her from the pretense of showing that she cared for him in front of Gabriel. It hurt her when she saw Gabriel’s painful look the last time when she lied that Dylan was coming to pick her up and did not want to see it again. Dylan came at the right time by Maeve’s timing. He was embarrassed at Gabriel chasing him out of his office, feeling that such power should belong only to him. Sadly, Gabriel had all the power Dylan desired, and he was determined to snatch it one by one. Gabriel’s weakness was an open book, and Dylan decided to use it as a weapon. He relaxed his back against the chair he sat on, crossed his legs, and said mockingly at Gabriel, “If Maeve is welcome, then so am I.”
