LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love You Must Keep an Arms Length
Eunice walked up in front of me. Now, I had a better view of her entire appearance. Doing some math in my head, I swallowed as my eyes feasted on her physique, scanning her from the head down to her Louboutin stiletto adorned with genuine gemstones. My eyes then traveled upward to her white dress, which perfectly hugged every curve of her body with a blue sapphire chain belt around her waist. Wearing a pastel blazer does little to conceal her hourglass figure. After having had enough of her clothes, I stared at the jewelry set made of blue sapphire. The sizes were just perfect—not large or small. They were appropriate for her attire. With my observation, I realized that there was a more significant difference between Eunice and Leah. Leah loved wearing large stone jewelry in her daily outfit, which is why I didn't enjoy staring at her. Yet, Eunice exudes a unique charm, and anything would look good on her. And the purse she clutched was from a known brand and ornamented with ge
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love The Chief Architect
I sat up and then stood on my feet. Dusting my bottom and smoothing my suit, I coughed to clear out my lungs, covering my embarrassment. Pretending that nothing had happened, I stretched my arm with a grin. "Good morning, President Meier. I'm sorry if I haven't sent out a notice that I will make a personal inspection today. I am particular about maintaining a safe and comfortable space for my occupants; thus, I want to ensure there won't be any mishap because of my negligence." "Even the floor, then?" Christian teased. I chuckled awkwardly when he ignored my hand for a handshake. I am aware that my explanation made me look absolutely ridiculous, and I was tempted to rip Christian's teasing grin off his face. It was apparent that he would continue taunting me. Indeed, his following words annoyed me. "How grateful we are to have such a thoughtful landlord. However, you were never this concerned about doing the inspection personally; you used to send out your men to do the job. Don't
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love The True Heiress
“Good morning, everyone.” Eunice smiled as she entered the door. She walked toward the center chair and sat down after Christian pulled it out for her, for whom he remained standing. His aura exuded like that of a noble knight, safeguarding her safety. As soon as a young, stunning woman entered the room, the atmosphere erupted in joy. Nevertheless, a few individuals were taken aback, and one struggled to keep her composure. “You! How’d you become the boss of Meier Holdings? I don’t believe this!” Leah could not maintain her demeanor, pointing her index finger at Eunice. The latter pursed her lips, amused at how her dear cousin could not control her nasty temperament. ‘So unprofessional.’ Eunice rolled her eyes and asked Leah, “What’s the matter if I am the boss of a giant company? I was fit for this position, and the M&M executives think so, too.” Despite Eunice’s reasoning, Leah is still in disbelief. She does not accept that the boss she works for is Eunice. “It isn’t true! How
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love I Am His Fiancee!
"I concurred! DL Enterprises is inferior to many companies like Lopez Corporation, Meier Pharmaceuticals, or Shen Group! But M&M International? The combined Lopez Group and Shen Group would not surpass Muller & Meier Corp." "Also, Miss Tsui is even more beautiful than Miss Dela Cruz. She is young and talented!" Leah exploded when she heard all these comments in favor of Eunice. People have kept comparing the two of them ever since Eunice moved with them to the mansion. Everyone will praise Eunice because of her innocent-like beauty. Her angelic face, blue-green eyes, and heart-shaped lips capture people's attention the most… and everyone thinks she is the family's ugly duckling. Indeed, when Leah continued her studies abroad for two years, she made so many changes to her facial features that they could not be considered original. “Have you considered the consequences of your actions?” “It looks like you are tired of working at Lopez Group!” Irate, Leah barked at the secretaries
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love He Will Pay Heavily
Miranda Dela Cruz Lim, CEO of DLC Enterprises, was livid upon reading her daughter's messages. Since she gave birth to Leah, she has been spoiled. Therefore, she will believe anything she tells her without investigating the matter. "That b*tch has a thick face! What did you do? I hope you give her a nice slap on the face." "That's what I did, mom. However, everyone is siding with Eunice!" Surprised by Leah’s reply, Miranda snapped. "What do you mean by that? Is she in the board meeting?" "Yes, Mom, and I felt humiliated because Jullian took her side as well! Instead of supporting me as his future wife, he even reprimanded me when I questioned Eunice’s qualifications for her position in the company. He is showing that he had faith in Eunice! What should I do, Mom? What if Jullian canceled our engagement and chose Eunice to marry instead? Mom, I'm going to jump on the bridge right now!" Leah’s proclamation startled Miranda when her daughter sent such a message. Without delay, she
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love Never Let You Go
Miranda’s eyeballs wanted to pop out of their sockets. “Eunice is a big shot at M&M International? How did that happen?” Miranda was shocked after hearing everything from Leah. She remained in disbelief until Leah finished detailing what happened during the board meeting. They kicked Eunice out of the family and the country back then. Now that she has returned, she will probably cause them trouble. ‘Is she planning revenge on us?’ Miranda was somewhat nervous about unforeseen events in the future. Now, she felt dread upon recalling the past. ‘Did she learn the truth? No! I got rid of the evidence! So it’s impossible!’ Miranda gradually paled, which Leah missed noticing because all in her mind was her resentment for Eunice. “I was as shocked as you, Mom. I thought I only heard it wrong when Christian Meier introduced her to the board! Mom, she must have had some tricks!” Leah had a strong belief. Otherwise, how did Eunice climb to that high? “Mom, do you know who the chairman of
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love I Need To Settle The Account With Them
Shangri-La Hotel Since the board meeting ended early and there was nothing to do in the office, Eunice returned to the hotel, not allowing Leah to approach or speak with her, knowing her tongue was full of venom. “There will be the perfect moment to deal with her.” She curled her lips, remembering the surprise on Leah’s face. She looked like she had swallowed a worm she was most afraid of. That’s right. Leah has scoleciphobia. “I bet Leah is already plotting against me. I know her very well, so I am certain.” Foreseeing the near episodes, Eunice leisurely sipped a glass of champagne while looking out the window, fixing her gaze at the building across the lake. Lopez Tower is the tallest skyscraper in this province. Many islands divide the region, and Claire City is the center island—the province’s heart. This island wasn’t that expansive, but the products produced here are excellent for trading worldwide. They were one of the few cities that exported their products all over the w
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love That Man Had Already Turned Into Ashes
Christian’s questioning clouded her countenance for a fleeting moment. He is correct, actually. Why would she waste her time helping the Lopezes strive in this life? She shouldn’t be concerned about them. There is a more significant matter she must deal with instead. However, whenever she thought of abandoning the Lopez family, a searing pain would strike her chest. Something is suffocating her. Christian pulled away from Eunice when she started shivering and laboring to breathe. “Eunice? What’s wrong?” Worries filled Christian’s countenance. He was about to call the bodyguards to prepare the chopper on the rooftop of this hotel if it weren’t for Eunice shaking her head, conveying she was okay. But Christian didn’t believe her when her fingers were pressing against her chest. “Breathe in,” he encourages her. Worried she would have an attack, he asked with concern. “Do you want me to call the hotel doctor? Perhaps I better send you to the hospital now.” Breaking out in a cold sw

LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love Eunice's Welcome Party
BALLROOM HALLKarina and Kyline stood by the railings and watched the mother-daughter performance.She couldn’t help but chuckle and shake her head when memories of the past played like a fast motion inside her head.“I endured everything they did to my family because they were putting a knife on my neck. However, tonight, I will no longer tolerate these things,” said Karina.She couldn’t fight against Leah because her mother would bear the consequences. She will be punished in her place.But now she will retaliate, and getting Alberta to change her heart is just the beginning. She will not stop until the world doesn’t see this mother-daughter duo’s true colors.Kyline, who remains silent but listens keenly on the side, stares at Karina’s back. She has enough information about the Dela Cruz family and has heard the drama within the family.However, she could not understand why this family hates the Tsui’s.Perhaps she would not understand their conflicts because she was pampered as th
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love No Room To Protest
“Are you blind? I was with Mr. Meier. Why did you block my way? Look what you’ve done to me! Ahh! Now I don’t know where he went!”Through clenched teeth, Leah continued to scold the server. She is furious, not only because the red wine has stained her dress but also because Christian has slipped away from her palm.It should be her perfect chance to get close to him!While Leah was daydreaming, the waiter pressed his lips together to not escape a chuckle upon seeing how indignant she was. And rather than worrying about himself, he simply ignored her whining and said,“Miss Leah, you better change your dress before looking for Mr. Meier. I’m sure he would not be pleased to see you like this.”Leah was livid at how the waiter acted arrogantly instead. She wasn’t happy with the way he responded to her.“You! Who are you to tell me what to do?!“ She screamed and lifted her hand to slap the waiter.Fortunately, Miranda is quick. She rushed to her daughter’s side before the situation escal
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love Don't Touch Me!
“This woman is useless! Wasn’t she worried we would stop our collaboration?”Not long after, Leah found Alberta’s post. The latter’s anger instantly flared at the audacity of the former’s defiance.“What’s wrong?” Miranda was startled when Leah suddenly fretted at her side. She looked around, worried that guests might see this scene. Immediately, she appeased her daughter. “Calm down. We’re about to be introduced.”Leah stomped her foot, which caused Miranda’s eyes to constrict involuntarily. “Leah, I said, pull yourself together!”“Mom! How could I be? That woman, Alberta! She deleted her previous post and made a statement in favor of Eunice. I don’t know what happened, but her mind changed suddenly, which was strange. Someone must influence her!”“Is that true? That woman is like a dog wagging her tail upon meeting you. I heard she is your die-hard fan, following your social media and copying your style to the point of dressing up just like you. Thus, whatever you say is impossible.

“Stop talking lies, Karina! How could Eunice own a multi-million couture house?” Alberta doubted this fact.“It isn’t impossible, of course. Sister Eunice’s dad isn’t only from a humble background, as everyone thought. Establishing a company is not difficult for her. Instead, it’s a piece of cake.”Karina herself was still in disbelief that Eunice owned this resort. She also suspected that Eunice owned Meier Holdings. Why does Christian Meier waste time helping her through college if she did not?Unless the CEO of Meier Holdings likes Eunice, the explanation she could only think of.“You said that Eunice’s father is rich?” Karina’s revelation shocked Alberta. On the one hand, despite what she learned, she still had the urge to mock Eunice. “Oh, I get it. Of course, her mother hooked up with a wealthy man. That’s why even though she has a lot of wealth now, the truth would not change that she is a daughter outside of marriage! It means her mother is only a mistress!”Karina raised one

“Miss Leah, can I talk to you?”Miranda and Leah were heading toward the ballroom entrance when someone suddenly blocked their path in the hallway.Leah frowned upon recognizing the woman, while Miranda became irate at her sudden approach.“Who are you?” Miranda impatiently inquired, giving a haughty glare. Suddenly, the woman came to a stop, feeling embarrassed.“Madam, I...” Alberta, the woman waiting for them, was taken aback when questioned like this; she was also disappointed that Miranda didn’t recognize her after the favor she’d done for Leah. “It’s me, madam. I’m the person who caught Eunice Tsui flirting with Miss Leah’s fiance, Jullian Lopez.”“Oh, then? What do you want? Have you come to claim a reward?”Miranda’s straightforwardness with Alberta made Leah anxious. Her mom’s bluntness would ruin her plans.“Mom...” Leah pleaded, gently pulling on the fabric of her mother’s elegant dress. Without uttering a single word, they conveyed their thoughts through eye contact. Leah
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love Eunice Isn't That Kind of Woman
“Is there something I shouldn’t hear, Aunt Miranda?”Anthony feigned an innocent smile as he approached the mother and daughter, who, in his eyes, were a pair of clowns.“There’s nothing, of course!” Miranda denied it instantly, throwing a dagger at Anthony.“Then, there is no need to waste time in the dressing room. Uncle Robert wants you to be in the ballroom hall. The party should begin now.”“Humph! There’s no need for you to come and pick us up. Whenever we feel like it, we can begin the party!” Miranda eyed Anthony with a disgusting look as she enunciated this. The memories of when she and Robert were newlyweds still linger in her mind.“Sweetheart, your nephew is a perfect match for my daughter. What do you think?”“I don’t agree. There’s no other woman I wish to marry but Eunice.”Anthony and Leah were the same age and attended the same university. They were supposed to take the same course, but Leah suddenly shifted to the Finance course.She suspected that Anthony, who openly

BALLROOM HALL“Mr. Meier!”Seeing Christian enter the ballroom, Robert hurriedly headed towards the door. His smile grew across his face when he realized he had come alone.He caught wind of the rumor that Christian was keeping a mistress. The fact that he’s coming alone tonight shows that he doesn’t value this mistress, making it effortless for him to get rid of her.Robert is resolute in wanting Leah to become part of the Meier family, not the Lopez family. Hence, he puts in a lot of effort to finalize a deal with Christian. By selling a significant percentage of his shares, he finally manages to secure cooperation.“Thank you for gracing your presence with us.”“No problem, Mr. Lim. We are a family now, so we must support each other.” Christian accepts Robert’s hand for a handshake. On his face is a masked disgust on top of his smile.“Of course, of course!” Robert’s face lit up with delight, showing just how thrilled he was.It’s hard to believe that Christian Meier would put it th
LOVING YOU: A Second Chance At Love I Should Investigate
This is also a serious matter, I believe...I was contemplating when Mirasol grabbed my hand. Then she also took Eunice’s hand and placed it above mine, shifting her gaze to me and her granddaughter as she went on.“The two of you haven’t been honest with me. But I would not scold you for eloping without me knowing the truth. I could not blame you, anyway. The Lopez family didn’t like my daughter, Eliza, so I understand you guys hide your relationship from the family. Now that you have returned, I assume everything is well, and your family finally accepts someone from my family.”The older lady stared at me. Caught off guard, I simply smiled and nodded. The older lady’s face lit up, then asked,“How many children have you had these past five years during the time you guys have kept hidden from us? Where are they? I want to meet my great-grandchildren.”Mirasol looked at us expectantly. Her question stunned me, so I remained mum, mulling over a reply, but I couldn’t think of one.Shoul

Now that Mom has brought this up, I should notify the facility not to give her access to my preserved sperm. Perhaps I should send someone to check and inquire about it. I think it’s the best thing to do.I hope Jillian hasn’t changed the arrangement by adding another person who is authorized to remove or transfer our sperm.Honestly, I almost forgot that Jillian had stored our sperm somewhere, and this information was confidential, so only the two of us and the doctors in the facility had the knowledge.Therefore, I must find out who told Mom unless Jillian confesses what Mom has claimed.“Mom…” I called her out, but she only cut me halfway.“Stop being selfish, Jullian! Think of your family above all. The company was the fruit of mine and your dad’s hard work. When your brother took over, he brought Lopez Group to glory, pouring out his heart and soul! Why can’t you do that as well?”Mom whined and left no room for me to defend myself. She keeps going on, and the only thing I can do
