LUCIAN is still trying to adapt to the changes in the office. Aside from returning as CEO and the changes in his position. He also clashes with the new C.O.O., Victor York, and the team he brought with him. Victor slowly kept on adding his friends and known colleagues in the Caldwell incorporated to get the upper hand and control in the company. It was still a question to Lucian why his father let it happen and why the board members suddenly gave their full support to Victor. No doubt, he is rich and a good investor, but not suitable for a C.O.O. or any position as his abilities are lacking. Surprisingly, apart from their clashes, Victor pulls through in all his tasks, and in every exemplary work he does, threatens Lucian's hold of the CEO position. He also notices Victor is always on a business trip every other day, and he feels something ominous about it, but is unsure what it is. "Whatever you are planning, Victor. I will be ready for it," he mumbled while glancing at the newly
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 139 - Trauma
[WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS AN UNSETTLING SCENE] EARLY in the morning, Albert was in the middle of a meeting with Alison when he received a call from an unknown number. He doesn't want to answer the call, but there's a voice in his head telling him that he needs to, when he answers it. He is surprised to know that it is Latton telling him that she was released from the facility and will not return home for a while. Before he could even object, the call was already disconnected, and when he tried to dial the number, it could not be reached. He frowned, "What are you planning?" He thought to himself as he tightly gripped his phone. Alison saw the look on his face and asked, "Who was it?" "Latton," he mumbled. "She's out of the rehab, but she's not coming back," he added with gloom on his face. Alison scoffed, "Don't worry about her. She's broke, she'll return soon." He heaves profoundly, "You're right. She's just acting stubborn. When the money in her pocket runs out she'll r
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 140 - A Bun in the Oven
"ABSOLUTELY not! I will never accept this guy to be your husband. You could do better, Latton," Albert angrily yelled. "If you could be with whomever you like, so do I. This is my choice." She screamed back. "You can say whatever you want but Victor and I are already married," She added sarcastically. Startled, Albert angrily stood up and hastily marched away from them. "Dad!" Victor shouted while staring at Albert's back. "Don't call me that," Albert replied, without looking back at them. Victor was about to follow Albert, but Latton held his hand. "Let him be," She remarked. Victor frowned, "He is already so angry he hasn't even heard the other news yet," he mumbled. Latton grins, "Oh, he will know soon." Victor sighed, "You're right. Everything takes time. After we eat, I have a surprise for you," he added. She smiled in excitement. - Meanwhile, Lucian had just finished his lunch-out meeting with a client in the Imperial Mall. He was walking when suddenly one of the clot
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 141 - What If...
JOHN’s jaw drops while listening to Lucian's story. He was so stunned that he couldn't even drink the beer he was holding. He could see his friend was deeply hurt by the turn of events. “Who would have thought this is how their story ends?” John said to himself. “You should be happy for her. She’s married and was about to have a child.” He commented in a low voice. “You don’t understand, John. That should be me. If I found where she was institutionalized. If I stayed in the hospital when he got shot. If I have explained myself to her or if I answered her calls when she woke up. It could have been us.” “Well, it's not and that’s how cruel reality is. You have your chance many times and waste it. Now she has moved on. Based on how you said it, she’s happy and you should too. It’s time for you to let go, Lucian,” John explained. Lucian frowned, “I can’t,” he said to himself. - Meanwhile, at York’s Villa. "The Ripley manor is my home. We should stay there. It’s way bigger than this
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 142 - Lucian’s Girl
“I KNOW you have no plans to return here after the partnership with Caldwell ended. But I badly need your help. Latton won’t listen to me or her mother, but she will listen to you,” Albert remarked. “I’ll talk to her because I miss her, not because you told me to. She’s old enough to make her own decisions,” Lucius replied. Shortly after, Lucius drove to York’s Villa. - Latton was sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the garden reading a magazine when a maid walked towards her, "Madam, you have a visitor waiting for you in the living room," The maid mumbled while her head lowered. She heaves profoundly and closes the magazine she is reading. "A visitor? Who?." She asks curiously. "He said his name was Officer Howard Gilberts." "Well, let him in. I'll talk to him here." She demanded. Soon, the maid ushered the Officer to the gazebo. "Nice to see you again, Officer." She greeted him while extending her hand. Officer H. Gilberts smiled and gladly shook her hand, "I'm happy to
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 143 - Mrs. York
AFTER 6 months of investigation, countless interviews, and dead-end evidence, LAPD Officers H. Gilberts and J. Peralta exhausted everything they had. “I got nothing,” Officer H. Gilberts says. “Same here. Sad to say we have another cold case in our hands,” Officer J. Peralta says as he puts the case files inside the box. - Meanwhile, at Caldwell Inc., it was Lucius's first day as the VP of Operations, and he went to the office 2 hours early to familiarize himself with his daily tasks and new team. He was lucky that his previous secretary, Chloe, remained loyal to him, and when he called her she instantly resigned from her secretarial position in one of the Ripley International subsidiaries. - Concurrently, Victor was sitting in the back passenger seat with Latton and his face conveyed annoyance and envy. He has been sulking for a while but Latton seems to ignore him. He can’t take it anymore. He coughs vigorously, then says, “I’m beginning to be jealous here. You’ve been back f
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 144 - Like the small village in the UK
AFTER briefly speaking to Lucian in the corridor, Latton returned to Victor's office and sat in his chair. She can't stop reminiscing about Lucian's reaction after she corrected him by calling her Mrs., instead of Miss. "Why do I feel bad when I see him sad?" She asked herself while checking the documents that needed Victor's signature. "I should be happy, he no longer has that smug look on his face. He must have been boastful when I fell about his lies over and over again." She said to herself as she clenched the papers tightly scrunching them in the process. Shortly after, Victor entered the office. He notices the frown on her face, "Hey, what's with the sad gloomy look?" He asks as he moves towards her. "Nothing important. How's the meeting?" She inquired detachedly. "The usual boring business stuff," he replied, seeing how expressionless she was. He then added, "The meeting is so boring. The only noticeable thing is Lucian looks disconnected." Her brows furrowed. He stared at
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 145 - Mind Games
EARLY in the morning when Kirby Johnson discreetly drove to York’s Villa. “What brings you here this early, Kirby?” Latton asks as she walks down the stairs still in her sleepwear. “You need to know something about the company,” he declared anxiously. She frowned and sat beside him in the living room. “There are anomalies in the last financial reports, forged invoices, missing money, under-the-table projects, and everything began when Miss Gardner joined the company. At first, it's only a few hundred thousand, then it turns to…” “... How much do you think she got?” She intervenes. “Around 50 million…” She gasped. The veins on her forehead started to bulge in rage, “Have you told my father about this?” “That’s why I’m here,” he says as he lowers his head. “I told him and he did not listen. He doesn’t listen to reasoning anymore. I’m afraid if this continues Ripley International will fall. I’m your father's right-hand man, but my loyalty remains to your grandfather’s legacy, whic
