"Teresa, frankly, what happened here is the unspoken rule of showbiz. Any other newcomers would face the same. As long as you stay quiet, the 700 hundred thousand dollars deal is still ours. However, if you still want to get rid of me, I can't guarantee things will not go out of hand!" Pamela said, threatening her."What are you saying?"To answer Teresa's question, Pamela walked over to the table and lifted a camera from a bag she left on a chair before she left the room."You recorded the incident?!" Teresa was about to go over and snatch the camera, but Pamela was a step ahead of her."You did the same to Nancy, asking me to drug her and keep the evidence. I've got to watch my back, too. This is exactly what you have taught me, Teresa!"When Pamela was Teresa's agent, she had lashed out at her and beat her because Teresa had resented her stupidity. However, having witnessed how Teresa played dirty tricks and was two-faced over the years, Pamela learned to do the same.To put i
While Spencer went to get the medicine, Nancy and Teresa had reached an agreement. What a surprise it was. Initially, Teresa held her ground. Yet, she stopped demanding the shares of the Lawson Corporation or an apology. Instead, she was even willing to make an announcement to clear the air.Spencer kept thinking about what Nancy could say to Teresa to change her mind. Albeit, he could not think of any answer.He passed the medicine and poured two glasses of water to Teresa and Nancy."Thank you," Teresa said while looking at Spencer."Teresa, I'm really glad that you are able to think it through," Spencer said."I just think what you said makes sense. Both of us grew up together. Even though Grandpa is no longer with us, we shouldn't fight. After all, we would like Grandpa to rest in peace," Teresa said.By saying that, she kinda explained why she gave in and also reminded Nancy. She was really scared Nancy would share the video and also scared to let Spencer find out what happe
Nancy did not head home after that. Instead, she ran all the way to Yaacob's office. It was nearly evening when she arrived. However, she knew as a workaholic, Yaacob surely had not left work. Normally, he would continue to work until after nine.Lately, his workload has increased. By the time he finished his work, it could be after nine or even half past ten.When he was at the car park to get his car, he realized there was a person squatting next to his car.Nancy leaned on Yaacob's car and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, the unlocking sound startled her. She looked up and saw Yaacob."Yaacob," she called.Although Nancy was very tall, she was very slim too. Hence, she looked like a little ball when she curled up her body.Yaacob glanced at her once and looked away. "Didn't I tell you to stop looking for me? Why are you here?""There is something I want to tell you," Nancy said.She stood up and realized he refused to look at her. Perhaps her attitude toward him when he t
Without wasting any time, Yaacob got out of his car. He took off his coat to put it on the woman who only had her underwear while standing in the middle of the road."Nancy Lawson, are you out of your mind?" Yaacob shouted at her.Frankly speaking, Yaacob was never a person who lost control of his temper. Even when he had an argument with Nancy, he had never yelled at her. In fact, what Yaacob really wanted to do was chop off Nancy's head at this moment.Despite that, he did no such thing and wanted to bring Nancy back into the car.When the strip dancer looked back, Yaacob realized it was not Nancy."Sir, who are you?" The woman looked like Nancy from the back. However, their faces looked nothing alike.No matter what, Yaacob still decided to drag her away. When those perverted men had finally left, he asked, "Who told you to dance here?""It's a girl. She gave me some money…"Before the woman could finish talking, Nancy sneaked out from behind. "It was me!"After Yaacob left
Nancy did not receive a clear answer from Yaacob. He did not promise her that he would stay for her.Even so, when she got home, she wasted no time in getting ready to prove herself to him that she was his best choice.She drew up a table, put her name side-by-side with Emily's, and then listed out all of their pros and cons. After she was done, she began to understand why Yaacob would choose to begin a relationship with Emily right after his divorce.The only thing Nancy had going for her was her looks. In other words, Emily had the upper hand when it came to family background and even personality.Emily's father ran a huge business empire in Europe, and she was his only child. That meant she did not have to worry about fighting over the inheritance with any siblings or relatives. Any man would be lucky to marry her.Whereas Nancy was an adopted child of the Lawson family. In a city teeming with wealthy families, the Lawson's fortune was really nothing to sneeze at. It was becaus
Spencer parked his car in front of the library after Nancy went in. He planned to wait there for her so that he could give her a ride home later.He knew Nancy had not gone to see Yaacob for quite some time, but that did not seem to do anything to increase his chances with Nancy. It seemed like Nancy still had not gotten over the hurt of his betrayal.He waited in front of the library for almost an hour, and still, Nancy did not come out. However, he did receive a call.He hesitated a little when he saw it was Teresa calling. He did not answer, but she called him again. This time, he did."Hello, Teresa?""Spencer, can you help me?" asked Teresa tearfully."What's the matter? Don't cry. Tell me what happened.""They… they came to my house, and now they're forcing me to pay back the money. If I don't give them the money, they'll… Ah! No!"Teresa was abruptly cut off."Teresa? Teresa?!" shouted Spencer worriedly.He called her again, but her phone was already turned off.He gl
For this semester, Nancy was the best in her class, scoring a lot higher than second place. Initially, the dean thought he needed to prepare extra help to help her with her score. Yet, there was no use for that because she had scored the highest score after studying hard.The Getson Corporation had been stringent on hiring. Thus, this internship was an opportunity every person wished to have. There were twenty people who were chosen. After the discussion with the Getson Corporation, the school arranged an accommodation near the corporation for all the interns to stay during the internship.When Nancy reached the accommodation, Lola was there too. They were being assigned to stay in the same room."Guys, the one-month internship is starting tomorrow. Now you have your room assigned to you, you can unpack your things and take a nap. Getson Corporation has arranged a tour of the corporation in the evening to familiarize you with the area and assign you to your job." The dean said while
"You can just hand it to Taya," Yaacob answered casually as if he were not surprised to see her there.Or, rather, as if it did not affect him whether it was her or anyone else who had arrived.Nancy could not help but feel a bit down. She had missed him, but now that she had finally seen him, it had turned out to be a one-sided affair.From the moment she fell for Yaacob, she knew this love would be one-sided and unfair.Yet, she never expected that it would become more unfair as time passed.However, no matter how bad she felt, she would not show defeat. Nancy imitated Yaacob's calm expression and nodded at him before turning around to leave.As she was walking over to Yaacob's door, Taya was applying lipstick while holding up a mirror. She looked at Nancy and raised an eyebrow. "I heard your internship is starting tomorrow. Why are you here today?""I wanted to familiarise myself with the environment, and I needed to run errands for someone."She put the paper bags she was c
