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
"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
It seemed like Julian had waited in front of the female toilet to emphasize Nancy's predicament and insult her.He handed the card to Nancy before entering the male toilet.Right then, Yaacob walked out of the room and approached her.Nancy did not dare to assume things and acted like he was there to go to the toilet. She lowered her head and looked at the card in her hand.However, Yaacob walked up to her and suddenly stopped."Go home," Yaacob said.It was rare that he talked to her after their divorce. Nancy looked up at him in surprise and smiled. "Is your sense of responsibility as the ex-husband kicking in? 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. He would help her, but he did not want her to continue working at Getson Corporation.Nancy had felt nothing when Julian told her to lea
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. That was one of the company's rules.However, Nancy was infuriated!Yaacob did not say anything since she remained quiet. The silent atmosphere
After escorting Julian to his room, Nancy looked around.She found that it had a cozy, lived-in feel. Was he still staying here after breaking things off with Becka?Nancy had left the Getsons' house a long time ago, so she did not know how Julian and Lucy were. If Julian was staying with her instead of at home, then they probably had a strained relationship. The woman in his heart was likely still Becka.Maybe the two of them were still together behind Lucy's back. Nancy snooped even further, searching for clues of another woman living in the house."What are you looking at?" Julian asked. Nancy hurriedly averted her gaze. "It's nothing. Mr. Getson, you should get some rest. I'll take my leave!"She prepared to walk away but was stopped by Julian again."Did I say you could leave?""What else is there to do?""Go to the kitchen. Make me something to eat!"Nancy could not help but feel like he was toying with her.However, she saw that his face was pale, and his hand was
"Me? Last night?" Nancy answered. "I was at the dormitory!"However, the man in front of her did not seem to believe her.The tall figure still pressed her into a corner, pushing her back so much that she struggled to breathe."Let me go. I'm going to be late."Nancy tried to push Yaacob away, but she failed.The data room was locked tight. Not a single ray of light penetrated the room, and she could not even see his face.Nancy reached over to turn on the light, but before she could touch the switch, Yaacob caught her."You— Ugh!"Nancy was about to say something when he put his mouth on hers.It was not really a kiss. The man merely licked her lips, and the wet feeling only stayed for a moment. Yaacob leaned back so their lips were not touching. However, his breath still hit her lips, and the familiar warmth caused Nancy's heart to quicken."You changed your lipstick?" he asked her.Nancy's heart froze. She knew he had asked that question because he had seen Julian's pictu
