That night, Nancy tossed and turned on the bed, not being able to fall asleep.At first, Nancy grumbled and muttered about Yaacob being petty, but then she began to reflect on her own actions. Staying out late at the nightclub and then riding her ex-husband's car back home indeed would have a bad impact.Nancy decided to explain everything to Yaacob the next day. After all, she was depending on Yaacob for her livelihood.The next day, as usual, Nancy woke up at noon.She planned to invite Yaacob for lunch to make up for rejecting his invitation to dinner the previous night.Yaacob's company had expanded significantly since Nancy's last visit, as evidenced by the increasingly energetic employees. Compared to when Yaacob first brought Nancy to the company the last time, the employees greeted Nancy proactively when they saw her."Good day, Mrs. Getson!"'Mrs. Getson?'Nancy had not gotten used to that title!In fact, she was rather unclear about the business of Yaacob's com
Nancy followed Yaacob's car to the entrance of a high-end restaurant. She watched as he got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side to open the door for Taya. 'Oh! What a gentleman.''He said he can't have dinner with me, but he has time to go on a date with his secretary?' Nancy thought and pouted.She slammed her hand against the car window out of frustration, startling Mitchell who was sitting next to her."Uhm... Mrs. Getson, it could be that Mr. Getson is here for a business engagement tonight," Mitchell attempted to comfort Nancy."Do business engagements require the secretary to dress like that? And besides, why is it just the two of them? What about the clients?""Maybe... the clients haven't arrived yet?""Ha!" Nancy smirked.She had witnessed too many affairs and heard countless excuses given by Spencer. She did not believe in those narratives."Let's go inside and have dinner. We'll see if he really has a business engagement.""Mrs. Getson, why don'
Anna was so furious that she wanted to slap Jojo but Jojo caught her hand first.Shortly after, the two women began to wrestle with each other.Unfortunately, they chose to fight right in the middle of the corridor, blocking Nancy's path."Uhm... Could you please move aside?" Nancy finally spoke up after observing for a while.Immediately, Anna turned to look at Nancy, and a hint of embarrassment crept on her face.As a result of that, the upper hand she had in the fight slipped away, and Jojo took advantage and gave her a tight slap."Anna Walter, I've put up with you long enough! You always act like you're so high and mighty as if the whole world should revolve around you. Have you ever treated me as a friend? To you, I'm nothing but a servant, summoned at your beck and call every single day!" Jojo shouted."When have I ever treated you as a servant? Even my dad treats you like his own. Whenever I get something, don't I make sure you have one too? When you needed money for you
Nancy blinked in disbelief as Yaacob walked up to her. He placed her high heels aside and crouched down to check on Anna's condition."Have you called the ambulance?" he asked."I gave her my phone, but I didn't know she didn't call for one!""She's injured so badly. How could you let her call for an ambulance on her own?""Well, that's because I was busy..." 'Catching a cheating spouse?' she finished the remainder of the sentence in her head.It was all because of him!Nancy kept the rest of her answer to herself and pouted. Then, she pulled out her phone to make another call for an ambulance.When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor informed them that Anna had multiple abrasions, a fractured right arm, and a high fever. She needed to be hospitalized for observation, and so Nancy and Yaacob stayed there for the time being.After the doctor examined Anna, Yaacob pointed at Nancy and said, "Examine her too!""I don't need to be examined. I'm not injured," said Nancy as
Nancy spat a mouthful of water and almost choked on it. "Who told you that song was for him? I wrote that for you!" Though she felt a little embarrassed saying it out loud.However, she felt wronged by the thought of Yaacob misunderstanding her.Immediately, Yaacob looked blank and put on a surprised look. "What did you say?" "You heard me clearly. Don't try to fool me into repeating it. Who told you that my song was for Spencer? I really wish I could make that person listen to my songs ten times to make sure that person understands the true meaning of my songs!" "It was Karter," Yaacob shamelessly threw his good friend under the bus. "Didn't the media say the same thing?" "Oh, that's why I've been telling you how much you're missing out for not watching the entertainment news! Never trust the media. They interpret things according to their whims. Because the truth is too bland, they need sensational stories. What do you think would stir up discussions the most? Love triangle
After boarding, Nancy could not stop thinking about what Todd wanted to tell her earlier. Yaacob noticed her staring at her phone, and asked, "What's wrong?""I'm a bit worried about my friend."Nancy vaguely remembered that she heard a strange noise before Todd hung up.Todd would never freak out like that. She was sure he had something important to tell her."If you're worried, you can call him back after we land," Yaacob suggested."Okay." Nancy nodded and rested her head on his shoulder. She felt that having him by her side made her feel a lot more at ease, no matter what happened."Do you want to sleep?""Yeah, please wake me up later."Nancy used him as a pillow, leaning her entire upper body against his. Yaacob then asked a flight attendant for a blanket and gently covered Nancy with it.As the flight attendant walked away, she could not help but gaze at Yaacob with admiration. She figured he was from a wealthy family judging by his expensive clothing and the watc
After dinner, Nancy and Yaacob returned to their room.The room seemed to have been prepared in advance. The bedsheets and covers were all new and had a fresh scent of soap and sunshine. The vibrant red and purple colors of the bed sheets made it feel especially festive. Nancy finally understood about the colorful underwear Yaacob kept in the room next door. "Mr. Getson, this place feels like a vacation hotel. It's so comfortable."She opened the window, allowing the night breeze to enter. It was gentle and cool, having a faint scent of flowers and plants. Combined with the countless stars that were rarely seen in the city, the view was simply breathtaking."Really? How about staying a few more days?" asked Yaacob."Sure, I think Grandma might feel lonely by herself. We could stay and keep her company. This place is so comfortable. It's making me feel like staying here forever."Nancy reached out as if to embrace the night breeze blowing in through the window. Suddenly, Yaacob
Seeing Sharon behind her, Nancy quickly took her feet off Yaacob and pretended to be washing the vegetables. However, it was futile. Sharon had heard what she said.She walked up to Nancy and asked, "Are you saying you refused to bear children for my grandson?""Grandma, she was just joking," Yaacob stepped in to defuse the situation."Yeah, Grandma. I was just kidding," Nancy quickly followed suit.What she said was merely an attempt to gauge Yaacob's reaction, but it had triggered Sharon instead. Sharon was furious. She stared at Nancy as if she were a criminal who murdered her great-grandson.Nancy understood that many elderly people could not accept that, which was normal. She did not even dare to bring it up with her own grandfather. Initially, she planned to discuss it with Yaacob first. After persuading him, only they would find a way to convince both sides of their grandparents. However, that had become a massive challenge.Seeing that Nancy was unable to explain
