It's urgent."The assistant hesitated for a moment, but then complied with Utter's request. "Please hold," she said, placing him on hold. “Um, Miss Jane, can you please get Mr. Kim?” Amanda politely asked Jane who was standing in a corner.“What's wrong?”“It's one of our ex-models…”“Put him on loudspeaker,” Jane cut in before Amanda could finish her sentence.Amanda did as she was told.After what felt like an eternity, Utter was furious.

Charlotte had to walk Harry home before going back to her own house. On the way, she met Madison and Utter talking and laughing. She greeted Madison but ignored Utter. “Hi, Maddy,” she greeted with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be at work?” “I was fired.” “What?” She nodded and went on to tell what happened, but she hid the part where she slapped Riele. “I pleaded with him to forgive me, but he was adamant,” she shrugged. “I don’t think that makes any sense.” Charlotte thought about the whole scenario, but they didn’t make any sense to her. “Why would Kim behave so irrationally?” Madison shrugged. “I see you are doing pretty well.” She smiled and nodded. “Yes, I am.” “Who’s the father?” Madison asked, without a second thought. “Um…” she bit her lips and glanced at Utter, who was waiting for her response. “Is your child a bastard?” Madison whispered. “No, he is not. I just can’t tell you who the father is.” She patted Madison’s shoulder and left. Madison couldn’t believe what had

Riele had no idea what to reply to him. She couldn’t tell if he was serious or if he was pulling her legs.“I promise that I won’t hurt your feelings, Riele.”“Um…Kim, I don’t think we should…” She tried to leave, but he held her hand and pulled her closer to him. He lifted her chin so she could look at him.“I love you, Riele. I know we started on the wrong foot, but believe me, it made me realize that I love you.”“Kim…I can’t…” he placed his index finger on her lips, shushing her.Riele had no choice, but to remain silent and listen to his confession.“Give me a chance, that’s all I am asking for.”“Kim…”“Don’t turn me down without knowing my true intentions, Riele.”“I…”“Do you love me?”“I…” She bowed her head. She didn’t want him to see her tearing up, but he did before she could hide it.He lifted her chin and saw her teardrops. He pulled her face closer and kissed her eyes. “I don’t want to make you cry, and I never want to see you cry.”“Kim…”“Do you love me?”She nodded s

At midnight, Kim took his phone and sent a text message to Riele. “Where are you now?”“I thought you worked after seeing your mom.”“Is everything okay with your mom?”“I’d appreciate it if you would reply to my text messages.”He dropped his phone close to his bed hoping to hear a beep or something, but there was no notification at all. “Are you home now?” he heard Jay asked on the phone. “Is everything okay with you? Do you feel fine?”Jay entered the room where Kim was and sat on the bed. “Does that mean I will see you tomorrow?”After a few seconds, he looked at Kim who was looking at him back before looking away. “I am sure he wouldn’t mind.”No one needed to tell Kim who Jay was on the phone with. He folded his arms and listened to their conversations. “Okay, I will see you tomorrow then.”“How is Charlotte?”“Okay. I have to go now. Bye.”He hung up and dropped his phone on the shelf beside the bed. He was about to lie down his head when Kim stopped him. “How is she?”“W

Upon arriving at Charlotte's place, Harry was greeted by the happy sight of the pregnant lady. "It's great to see you, Harry," she smiled at him. "I'm glad to be here after you bribed me with such a delicious meal," he replied. "Oh, so she told you?" Charlotte asked. Harry shook his head. "I found out." Charlotte smiled and gestured for him to sit down while she prepared something for him to eat. "I made pasta, but I don't know if you'll like it." "As long as it's edible, I'm good with anything you cook," he replied. Charlotte served him his food and asked, "Lemon juice or orange juice?" "Lemon juice is fine, thank you." She poured him a glass from the fridge. "When is the baby due?" "Three months from now, and you'll have a younger brother," she replied. "Cool!" Harry exclaimed. "The food is ready, let's eat," Charlotte said, and they sat down to enjoy their meal. "What do you think of Kim?" Harry asked. "Kim? My boss?" Charlotte wondered. "Yes, I want him for my sister,

I'll inform you of the new date," he said before retreating to his office without waiting for any comments.Madison approached Jay to ask what was wrong, but he didn't know. "This morning, I saw him driving to catch up with Riele," she whispered."Did Riele come to work?" Jay inquired.Madison shook her head. "She left in a hurry. I think something must have happened for her to leave like that."Jay was concerned and planned to speak with Riele after work. With the new information from Madison, he decided to call her. "Thank you," he told Madison before making the call.He called Riele several times, but she didn't answer. He was about to enter the office when he received a call from her.

Riele was running so she could get to the hospital in time. She had no idea why she didn't board a taxi instead of running. She was happy and a great joy filled her heart as she thought about the text she received from the doctor. Her thought was disturbed by the continuous beeping of a car. She was getting irritated because she felt the beeping was directed toward but she was on the sidewalk and not the road, so why the beeping? She asked herself and then she turned only to find a Rolls-Royce Phantom driving in her direction and the moment she stopped, the car stopped and the driver rolled down the window and she saw it was her boss. She was shocked that all she could do was stare at him in bewilderment. Why was he here? Questions that couldn't be answered just by asking herself were raging in her mind.

But she didn't mind because Esmeralda made sure her children weren't lacking anything at all.
