Christine stood in front of the mirror.

She adjusted the collar of her crisp white blouse, the fabric hugging her figure just right, and smoothed down the tailored black skirt that fell just below her knees. With a final touch of her lipstick, she admired the confident woman staring back at her.

After a moment of self-appreciation, Christine grabbed her purse and keys, her heart fluttering with excitement at the thought of seeing Nadia. It had been a week since she had last seen her, and the ache of separation had lingered longer than she had thought. She stepped outside, the cool morning air refreshing against her skin, and slid into her car. The engine purred to life, and she set off to her mom's house.

She stepped out of the car and walked towards the front door, the aroma of spices and something sweet wafting through the air. She opened the door to find her mom and Nadia in the kitchen, laughter bubbling between them as they worked side by side.

"My job is a secretary not a sex slave to you," she emphasized with teary eyes " But I am the father of your child, and you already gave me the chance to be a father in her life, did you forget? Christine looked down and sighed, her lips quivered in worry. "Stop testing me, sir" Christine said, her voice firm. "I know you're trying to provoke me, but it's not going to work."Reyes's eyes narrowed, and he leaned back in his seat. "I'm not testing you, Christine," he said. "I'm simply stating the facts."Christine raised an eyebrow. "The facts?" she repeated. "You mean the fact that your standards are far above mine? That if you slept with me, what would people say?

    Christine's gaze locked onto Reyes, her eyes blazing with defiance. "You're one to judge, sir," she spat. "You think you're above everyone else, but you're just as flawed as the rest of us. You never give anyone a second chance, always assuming the worst about them."Reyes's expression turned fierce, his voice dripping with venom. "And you think you're better than me, Christine?"Christine's laughter was laced with mockery. "I'm not comparing myself to you, sir. I'm just living my life, free from your toxic influence. And as for Nadia, you're not fit to be her father. Stay out of her life, or I'll make sure you regret it."Reyes's face twisted in rage, his eyes flashing with fury.

It was Sage. He had completely forgotten about her, and the guilt was already eating away at him. He took a deep breath and opened the door, a charming smile plastered on his face."Sage, darling," he said, trying to sound as sincere as possible. "I'm so sorry I didn't call you back. I've been... busy."Sage's eyes flashed with anger, and she slapped him across the face. "Busy?" she repeated, her voice icy. "You were busy cheating on me, Reyes. I saw you with that woman, and I saw the way you looked at her. You're disgusting, you didn't even chase after me." She said already tearing up.Reyes felt a pang of guilt, but he knew he had to make it up to Sage. He couldn't afford to lose her, not now, he needed her to taunt Christine.

    Feeling anxious, Christine rushed to Reyes' office to check on him. As soon as she entered the office, she gasped in shock. A secret door that no one knew about had opened, revealing a hidden space behind it. Reyes was sitting on the floor, his back against the wall, and his eyes wide with fear.Christine's eyes scanned the room, taking in the scattered remains of a flower vase and a small glass aquarium that had been broken.

She forgot her promise to stay away from him, her concern for his well-being taking over.Reyes looked up at her, his eyes unfocused.

    "You're really going to regret betraying me!" she spat, her voice venomous.Reyes, however, seemed unfazed by Sage's outburst. He responded lightly, "I never promised you anything, so how could I possibly betray you?"Sage's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled with emotion. "But we're engaged," she protested. "You can't love another woman beside me. That's unfair."Reyes burst out laughing, his lips curling up in a lazy smile.

Let's just end this whole fake engagement."Sage's face turned white with shock, and she took a step back, her eyes wide with horror. "No, Reyes!" she yelled. "I love you!"Reyes shook his head, his expression unyielding. "No, Sage. You don't love me. You love the wealth and power that comes with being my wife.

" I freaking know that, why are you hugging her?" she asked, her voice dripping with skepticism.Reyes smiled, a small, enigmatic smile. "Ehm... Sage," he said, his voice trailing off.Sage's eyes flashed with anger, and she took a step closer to Reyes. "I hugged her to keep her by my side.

    Reyes' eyes seemed to gleam with amusement as he gazed at Christine. "I admit that I misjudged you," he said, his voice low and husky. " one of the many secretaries who have worked here. It turns out you are the best. You are so hardworking, and you are everything I need in a secretary."Christine's eyes narrowed, "So, instead of looking for a new one, wouldn't it be better to keep the one, the existing one, that has proven to be the best?" Reyes asked, his eyes glinting with amusement. "And also, very loyal."Christine blinked, not understanding. "I wasn't loyal," she said, her voice firm. "I submitted my resignation."Reyes chuckled, the sound sending a shiver down Christine's spine. "Yes, you are loyal," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "If you weren't, you wouldn't be here right now."Christine sighed faintly, feeling like a fool. She shouldn't have come back.
