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.

    "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

    "Mr. Getson, are you talking about Nancy? I think she got assigned to the logistics department. That's just how it is. All new employees need to do some menial work. Also, I heard that the person supervising her is that old hag, Lilian. She's always opposed us. I think Nancy's going to suffer quite a bit under her."Yaacob frowned.As the elevator doors finally opened on the designated floor, he instructed Taya, "Figure out a way to transfer her to an easier position!"After that, he walked right out of the elevator.Taya stood in place, taking a second to process his order. She hurriedly followed him and said, "Mr. Getson, we're approaching the end of the year, so all the departments are quite busy. Why don't we send her to the secretary department? I can keep an eye on her so she won't be bullied.Yaacob did not respond to the suggestion, but he did not object either!So, Taya planned on announcing it the day after.Yet, unexpectedly, Nancy had a mishap at work.In truth, it

What will happen to this dinner if I leave?""Taya will help you handle it.""Julian said I'd be fired if I don't do well tonight.""Nancy, Getson Corporation isn't the only company in the city," Yaacob said.His meaning was clear.

    Leaving Yaacob's office, Nancy rushed to the elevator.She stepped inside, but before the doors could shut, someone suddenly stopped them from closing.Yaacob squeezed into the elevator. The tight space seemed even narrower due to how large he was.Nancy instinctively stepped back and retreated to the corner of the elevator.The man looked at her, wanting to say something but not speaking immediately. He turned around and allowed the elevator doors to shut, blocking the view of prying eyes, including those of Emily, who was chasing them.He pressed the button for the first floor before stepping back as well.Yaacob's gaze fell on Nancy's test report, gripped firmly in her hand. He asked, "You came to see me for that?"Nancy did not know if she should answer. If her superior asked her a question, she was supposed to respond immediately.

"Stop the car, quick. Stop going forward. It's the peak hour right now. I can't let anyone see me."Yaacob stopped the car, but he did not unlock the door.He lowered the top of the convertible and asked her, "Is being with me that embarrassing to you?""I'm not with you. This is just a transaction!" Nancy insisted.She could not open the door and noticed that Yaacob had locked it. When she went to unlock it, her hand was pushed down by the man."Don't I make you happy? Is Celica unhappy? Don't you enjoy every night that we're together? You clearly have me in your heart, but why do you keep denying it? Nancy, what happened to your boldness and carefree spirit?

She abandoned her plushie as she rushed to him, hands outstretched and waiting to be carried."Uncle Yaacob! Uncle Yaacob!""Celica, don't run so fast!"Nancy could not stop her and could only follow behind, picking up the plushie along with some candy that had dropped from her pocket as she ran.Yaacob hurried forward and immediately scooped Celica up. He smelled the sweet scent of candy."Uncle Yaacob…"Celica hugged Yaacob, nuzzling her head against his.

    Randall and Rowena went to the same motel they had the last time.The boss remembered them as the ones who had broken his window, but he did not give them a hard time, warmly welcoming them instead.After all, the money that Randall had given him for it had been enough to replace the windows of the whole building. This time, Randall flexed his financial might again. He pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet and put it on the counter. "Boss, we want an entire floor.""Sir, do you want one room or two?""The whole floor!"Hearing what Randall said, Rowena looked at him in amazement. "Why so many rooms?""Have you forgotten how bad the soundproofing is here?" Randall replied.Rowena was speechless.The hotel owner was a veteran of this. He immediately put the money into the counter drawer and said, "Okay, I'll give you a key to a room on the third floor. I'll go knock on every door to clear the floor out right now. I assure you that you'll have an enjoyable night!"Rowena fel

    "How absurd!"Randall's words were not meant to demean her. He just felt that it was too dangerous for the child to be there.Rowena, however, felt like she was being blamed for no reason."Why are you in a restaurant with this girl in the middle of the night?" Rowena asked Randall.Randall did not answer. He walked forward to help secure Dorothy before he took the dangerous weapon off her hands."Rowena, you should bring Sandy back for now."Rowena did not move."It's too dangerous for the both of you to be here. Listen to me!" Randall told her.Rowena did not respond. Instead, it was Dorothy who spoke: "Mr. Smith, why do you think she can just come and go as she pleases? I already told my subordinates that not even a fly is allowed out."Even though Rowena had been captured, she knew that they would not be able to walk free if anything happened to her so the man would not touch her so easily."Mrs. Browning, you just wanted to talk with me."Dorothy really liked talking to

    Dorothy and Randall found themselves in a standoff. Suddenly, a hushed report from her subordinate reached Dorothy's ears. "Someone's outside, claiming to have information on Mr. Randall.""Who? Could it be that Yaacob has returned earlier than expected?" Dorothy, determined to prevail over Randall that night, insisted, "Don't let him in; I can't believe he would just barge in!""It's not Mr. Randall. It's a woman, accompanied by a child." The subordinate hesitated before providing more details.Rowena, who had given birth just four months ago, had swiftly regained her pre-pregnancy figure.
