"Boss, someone wants to have an appointment with you." Felix said. 

Lois looked up from the report he is currently reading. His sharp grey eyes were stern. 

"What is it for?" he replied. 

"I'm not sure, but Abby told me it is a woman." Felix was confused why a woman would request a private appointment with Mr. Rossenov. 

No one has ever dared to do that. 

"Okay." 

Felix blinked in surprise. Did his boss just say 'okay'? He never accepts random invitations from strangers. 

Veena walked in with her head high. Her body looks a bit better than last night. An hourglass figure and long, slender legs to die for. A perfect combination for a super model. 

Everyone were curious of this mysterious woman. Their boss doesn't even like women, yet here she is. Could this person be their boss' future madam? 

"I am here for an appointment with Mr. Rossenov." Veena said to the receptionist while taking off her sunglasses. 

The woman was star struck and her eyes were glued to the mysterious woman's blue eyes. Not only her body is perfect, she looks like a real life doll! 

"Are you Miss Harrison?" A man approached Veena. 

"Yes, and you are?" 

"I'm Felix. Mr. Rossenov's assistant. Please come this way." 

Veena followed Felix and the elevator stopped at the third floor. This will be her first time meeting Lois Rossenov. She wonders how he would look like. 

People say he is a young man at his 30s. None of that information is to be confirmed yet. No wonder he is extremely successful. The public exposure is very distracting and easy to lose focus. 

Scandals greatly affects the company and no one wants that. Even she never wanted a scandal to smear on her name. 

Felix opened a frosted glass door and he stepped aside to let her enter first. 

She couldn't see Lois Rossenov because his back was facing her. He seems to be well built and tall. The tailored suit hugging his figure beautifully. 

"Greetings, Mr. Rossenov. I'm Veena Harrison, the one who requested for a private appointment with you." she introduced herself. 

"Hm...you must be a tough one to ask for a private appointment with me. What is it that you want?" Mr. Rossenov said. 

His deep voice sent tingles on her skin. A kind of voice that would send her in a trance. 

"I'm here to ask for your help. I was Fontana's CEO an I want to seek revenge. You are the most powerful man here in Geneva and I need someone to back me up. My family grabbed the company under my nose while I was still in the hospital. It won't be easy to get it back since some investors have turned against me." she replied.

"What do I get out of this, Miss Harrison?" 

"As we all know. Fontana has a huge influence on the fashion industry. You can have my company for free." she stated a crazy offer. 

The man turned around and she didn't flinch. She stared back into his intense grey eyes, challenging the powerful Aloysius Rossenov. 

"Thank you for the offer but I'm not interested. Have a nice day, Miss Harrison." the man dismissed her without giving her offer a second thought. 

"Wait! Tell me what you want and I'll reconsider my offer." Veena couldn't let this chance go to waste! Even the biggest business figures can't even grab an appointment with Mr. Rossenov. 

"Alright, meet me at the Civil Affairs and make sure you're dolled up." 

"W-What? I don't understand." Veena was confused. 

"Felix, please escort Miss Harrison out." Mr. Rossenov dismissed her. 

Veena was pushed out of the company doors before she could react. That horrible man! She wanted to scream and throw out her frustrations. He is so hard to deal with! 

Her phone rang and she answered it without checking the caller. 

“Veena, come to the office right now! Ashley is being a crying mess right now because of you! We wanted you to be her mentor and you never answered our calls!” Helen rambled on.

To be Ashley's mentor? Her eyes darkened assuming that this is just a tiny trap they set, to humiliate her infront of everybody.

“I apologize for that Helen I think your daughter will never fit the standards of a ‘CEO’. I believe that she can’t learn a single thing in running a business.” she replied back with a venomous tone in her voice.

“How dare you talk to your sister like that you tramp! Don’t call me Helen because I’m your mother! Show some respect!”

“Mother? The last time I checked I don’t have a mother. You are not my real mother in the first place; you’re just my father’s mistress.” She gripped the phone tightly. The death of her birth mother remains a shrouded mystery and no one knew what happened. That is another thing that she must find out.

“If you don’t show up today then let’s see what will happen to your grandmother.” Helen threatened.

She gasped at how ruthless Helen can be. This woman dares to threaten her grandmother’s life! There she knew that Helen already lost her human sense of mind. 

“You’re a disgusting devil, Helen. You even dared to use Grandmother Meredith against me. Fine, I’ll go right now and see if your damn daughter can handle the work of a CEO. Why are you asking when you already cut ties with me? Find someone else!” She ended the call still fuming from her conversation with Helen.

Veena walked to Fontana on foot. Meanwhile, a black car was following the woman. A man was sitting at the back seat with his eyes on her. 

News spread like wildfire as the ex-CEO of Fontana suddenly showed up. The employees were giving her disgusted looks and gossiping with each other.

Veena heard it all and it hurts.

No one knew the truth but only the false truth. Everyone believed that Ashley is the real girlfriend of Stephen. This painted Veena as the evil sister who attempted to destroy the Harrison family.

What disappointed her the most is the betrayal of her employees.

Bowing her head down to avoid the piercing gazes. She accidentally bumped into someone but a familiar manly scent suddenly hit her.

Irriation showed on her face as that person was Stephen. Out of all people why him?

    Veena's cold gaze prevented Stephen from speaking up. She walked past him as if she never met him. The tension in the room increased once Veena entered the board room. Ashley’s eyes were a bit puffy probably from her crying session. She assumed that they were having an argument. The shareholders didn’t look happy at all. “Veena Harrison we’re glad that you’re back. We were hoping that you’ll take over the company as soon as possible.” Mr. Travis said. “I’m sorry for crushing your hopes Mr. Travis but Veena will be Ashley’s mentor. With the scandal on Veena’s name placing her back as the CEO will only make Fontana collapse.” Helen explained immediately. Veena wanted to curse at Helen. She will do anything to tweak the truth. The reason she is in Fontana right now is to get something important in her old office. “Mrs. Harrison is correct. The scandal affect Fontana even after three years. I hope mentoring Ashley will save Fontana. We will be expecting a lot of things from this ‘eme

    A brunette haired woman wearing corporate clothes was standing in front of Fontana and approached Veena. "Good day, Miss Harrison. I'm Abby and will be your assistant from now on. I have been sent by Mr. Rossenov. He wishes you to stay in his apartment." Abby said. "Hm? I don't think that is appropriate for me to live with him." Veena replied. "Mr. Rossenov says the deal will be off if you refuse." Veena frowned. He dares to threaten her? Whatever. This deal is much more important for her. It's better not to get in his bad side. Veena looked around in awe of Mr. Rossenov's apartment. It feels cozy with a mix of warm and cool interior colors. "Which room I'll be staying?" Veena asked Abby. "Over there, Miss Harrison. Mr. Rossenov has reserved you a seat at Piazza Deluxe. He won't be able to join you since he has a meeting to attend to." "Okay. Tell him my thanks." The maitre d’ led her to the reserved table with a breathtaking view of Geneva’s seaside. All of the pain,

    Veena woke up finding herself in an unfamiliar room. Where is she? The last time she remembered was fainting from Ashley’s constant attacks.

She must’ve slept for a long time. “How are you feeling?” she looked up to see the man who helped her last night. It was Lois. “I can still feel the body pains.” she answered hoarsely. He offered her a drink and she thanked him, drowning it down to give moisture to her dry throat. “The Harrisons bailed her out. Do you want to press charges on her?” he asked. “No. Going against them is useless.” She replied. “I’m sorry but are you Aloysius Rossenov?.” “Yes, Lois is my nickname.” he answered. Lois noticed her uneasiness and he wanted to reassure her that he is not a threat. Abby barged into the room and apologized right away for disturbing them. “Miss Harrison, are you alright?” Abby asked. She looked over to the man who helped he

The Veena Harrison of Fontana!?” Chelsy couldn’t believe it that the woman infront of her was the CEO of the luxurious clothing brand.

    A bright ray of sunlight from the window woke her up. Veena groaned in pain squinting her eyes trying to remember yesterday’s events. This is the second time she got drunk and promised herself not to drink again. She wanted to get out of the bed but something is stopping her. A muscular pair of arms wrapped around her and a hot breath blowing on to the naked skin on her shoulder. The glinting shine of the ring on her finger caught her attention. Oh no…what has she done? She turnd her head and was met by the peaceful sleeping face of Lois. D-Did they just get married!? Slowly grabbing his arm releasing its hold on to her, but Lois tightened his arms. “Where are you going?” he said groggily. “U-Uhm…I should go.” she reasoned out. “T-This is a mistake.” “What mistake? You asked me to marry you and accepted your offer.” He leaned over caging her with his arms. He moved her legs apart wrapping them around his pelvis. She blushed as she roamed her eyes all over his delicious muscular

    Lois stared at the gold ring wrapped around his finger. Felix watched his boss silently. He still couldn't understand why boss agreed to marry Veena. He tried hard to think of reasons and ended in a conclusion that involves his grandfather, Emmon Rossenov. "Does Mrs. Rossenov know that you married her for securing your inheritance?" Felix nervously asked. Lois glared at him. "Didn't I tell you not to say a word about it? It doesn't matter if she knows or not. We are merely using each other for our own benefit." "I do believe she still has the right to know, boss." Felix insisted. "Even if I tell her she will leave." "Even if she finds out she might still leave." Felix prodded on. Lois sighed in disbelief. Felix may be his assistant, but he still values his opinion. His office door opened and Veena came in. She is wearing his white shirt that reached her thigh revealing long white legs. He ca
