Dai's POVThe contract signing isn't my main problem with this Business trip but the fact that the woman who drives me crazy is being so sweet and cozy with another man. Mr. Laurel seems to be a ladies man and he's got a gift of complimenting women excellently plus being a very sweet talker.Mr. Trump didn't tell me he was a young man in his mid thirties and a Ladies man at that, Lia seemed so comfortable with him all day, they kept chatting at the factory like long lost lovers and worst he wants to take her to see the Eiffel tower. It was the last thread holding my anger, I couldn't believe Lia had gotten so close to the client and decided to accept his invitation to go out. I feel a little guilty for all the things I told Lia yesterday, I admit part of my anger was steamed by the alcohol I drank. I feel like cancelling the contract but this won't be good for our company's image and my partner will be disappointed.As I take a bath my mind drifts off to the incident between Lia and I
Dai's POVI've been here since 11am and no sign of Mr. Laurel or Lia. He said they were going to meet me at the factory at 12pm but it's 1pm already. How long does it take to see the Eiffel tower, considering the fact that Lia left early this morning.I'm busy on my phone when I notice someone standing Infront of me in flats, holding out a paper bag Infront of me. Following the owner of the shoes up to their face shocks me as I see Lia holding out a paper bag to me and she's not alone. Hana Yamamoto is standing behind her watching us.What is going on here? why is Lia not angry with me? and what is her friend doing in Paris?. "Hello Mr. Japana, nice seeing you in Paris" Hana says smiling with a hint of sarcasm, almost like she's got an issue with me. Maybe Lia told her about what transpired between us."Miss Yamamoto, a pleasure seeing you here" I put on my best captivating smile. Being friends with her brothers has taught me not to joke around Hana."Catching up with my bestie since s
Dahlia's POVIt's been a week since we returned from Paris and all I've been doing is focus on the project we have with Mr. Laurel. We'll be required to travel frequently to France to set up the website and mobile application and other details for the stores.Dai has been in my hair with his sweet apologies but I can't stand down just because the man is being a romantic. I admit I was surprised he could be this romantic and could actually keep his big ego in his pants and apologize to me.I was really hurt by what he said about me being a gold-digger fishing after wealthy men. It really cut deep in my soul. As much as I really like the man, I can't give him another chance.The whole office now knows My Boss has an interest in me and most of the guys keep clear away from me. I mostly sit with Susan at the company's canteen when it's break time or go out with my girls for lunch.My University sent me an email reminder about my student debts which I had almost forgotten due to how well my
Dai's POVI've been sitting in my car beside the office building since 5pm, waiting to see Lia leave the office when I spot Mr. Trump's car parked at the entrance of the building. It takes about 3minutes for Lia to step out of the office and she's being ushered by My partner's driver to the car.What the hell is going on? and why would Lia be riding in Mr. Trump's car and I remember she received a call earlier today with a possible dinner invitation. I don't want to doubt her anymore and I've been trying to get her forgiveness since we returned from Paris.I better give her some benefit of doubt and not investigate what this is. Igniting the engine of my car I speed away towards the direction of my pent house.The next day runs in a blur, Lia keeps ignoring me and I try my best to keep things between us professional. It won't set a good example if I'm pursuing Lia at the office. We both focus on work and later that day, I receive a call from a strange number."Hello?....." I answer lea
Dahlia's POVMr. Japana left in a hurry and I wonder what the phone call he received earlier was about, I've been anticipating his return and it's been two hours since he left. I want to tell someone about my conversation with Mr. Trump yesterday but I can't cuz he asked me to keep it a secret.I can't even tell my girls cuz it's a dying man's last wish and I can't be insensitive to that. I contemplated telling Dai, since he and Mr. Trump are partners and also like father and son, but I can't. Maybe he's aware of everything and he's probably the one drafting the marriage contract as Mr. Trump's Legal representative.I am not interested in the money or shares Mr. Trump is offering me cuz to be honest I didn't earn them.The day runs by fast and I didn't notice it was past 5pm, Dai didn't return and I still haven't made a decision. Dai might just conclude that I am truly a gold digger if I accept, though Mr. Trump said this was the only way he could transfer his properties and shares to
Dai's POVAfter staying away from Mr. Trump's room for a while, I decide to go back. I open the door slightly to step in when I hear Lia say "For your sake I'll sign the marriage contract" whatttt?!!!! I was really going to give her the benefit of doubt that she wasn't like Juni and the rest of the women out there.I was so wrong about her, how would she sleep at night knowing she's taking advantage of a dying man just to acquire his wealth. It's true that she's a hard worker but I'm beginning to think it was all a ploy to lure her target and unfortunately for my partner who seemed smitten by her.I don't think there's anything I can do to stop this cuz I've tried persuading my partner not to go through with this. I know he doesn't have any family left but there are other ways to give out his wealth. There are orphanages, care homes or even free will donation centres."When would you like to sign the contract, cuz you need to do it as soon as possible seeing as my partner doesn't have
Dahlia's POVThe look in Dai's eyes was that of disgust and disappointment, I am aware that he's hurt over Mr. Trump's demise but he clearly sees me as a gold-digger. He doesn't need to say it cuz I see it all over his face, even his eye contact is brutal to my soul.I lied about my friend picking me up cuz I didn't want to make matters worst. I decide to stay a little with Mr. Trump, he's so drained and it pains my heart that a kind hearted person like him has to go through all this pain."Your friend isn't picking you up right?" Mr. Trump questions knowingly, even in sickness you can't out smart a legend."I didn't mean to lie, I just...." I feel bad I had to lie to Mr. Trump"It's fine, I understand why you did that and I want to plead with you to be patient with him. Please don't give up on him." he inhales "You have feelings for him and I know he feels the same and even more for you. That's the reason why he feels betrayed and hurt, he thinks you're the same as Juni" I don't know
Dai's POVMy brothers weren't pleased when I told them I didn't want anyone sniffing in my business, I don't want them to make me feel like I don't have control over my life. I was out of line even though they mean well but I need to figure everything out before my partner loses everything to Lia.Like I had assured Lia and my partner about the contract which I had drafted in two days, it was a chilly night at around 8pm, my partner laid in bed while Lia sat in a chair beside his bed. I just want the contract signing to be done and over with.I had finally come to terms with the fact that nothing could be done to safe my partner, after I spoke with his doctor and sent his results to a cancer specialist who is an acquaintance of my father. The specialist had thesame bad news as my partner's doctor.He didn't have much time and instead of making things hard for him in his last days by going against the marriage contract and transfer of properties, I decided to go with it as my partner's
