Jeanette and Damon minded their own businesses during her stay in the Godfrey household.This was her condition to Damon. Otherwise, she would take her son and move back to her mother’s house.Damon had no choice but to agree. He never even stepped into her room again.On the other hand, working hours were no different from how they used to be, except for the fact that the Godfrey chauffeur would drop her off on the street across the road from Godfrey Tower. There were so many employees in the company that she and Damon rarely ever ran into each other.Instead, rumors surrounding the CEO and Parker were increasing.All of this happened because of the misidentification during the company’s team-building camping trip.“Jeanette, aren’t you angry?” Lucia deliberately pulled her aside to the balcony to talk to her during lunch hour.“Why should I be angry?” Jeanette was confused.“The rumors surrounding the CEO and Parker… Aren’t you and the CEO… You’re not jealous?”“You and I bo
Parker didn’t say anything. She simply walked into the printing room and put the documents into the printer.The women were so frightened that they didn’t dare say a word. They quickly dragged each other out.Jeanette was still fuming. “How do you plan on dealing with them?” she asked Parker.“There’s nothing to deal with.” Parker didn’t seem angry at all.“But they—”“Thank you for what you did, Mrs. Godfrey.”She turned around and gave her a solemn bow.Jeanette was shocked by this sudden display of affection. “I didn’t do anything. I was just angry with them for talking smack about you behind your back. But why aren’t you angry? Even I’m angry.”“There’s nothing to be angry about. You saw it. They’re scared of me. They wouldn’t dare say anything to my face.”“But they’re still going to talk about you behind your back!”“Gossip is a terrifying thing. I can’t stop them from talking behind my back, and I don’t want to, either. As long as my conscience is clear, it’s good enou
The next day…When Damon woke up from his drunken sleep, he realized that he was still lying on the floor, in Jeanette’s bedroom, covered with a blanket, probably because someone was worried about him catching a cold.However, the floor was too hard. He found himself both dizzy and sore all over.Jeanette pushed the door open and walked in with a bowl of soup in hand.“Are you up?” She rolled her eyes irritably at him.“You left me to sleep on the floor, just like that?”“Well, it’s your f
‘Thank God. His proclamation was just an empty, drunken declaration. Otherwise, I’d have no other choice but to hand in my resignation as soon as possible.’When she arrived at the office, Jeanette realized that the two cubicles in front of her were now empty.After a bit of questioning, she found out that three women had been dismissed last night.However, it was such a coincidence. The three women were the ones who had been talking about Parker and argued with her in the printing room.“I’
“Other families have mothers and fathers taking their kids out to play. You’re one person short, and I happen to be one child short. What’s wrong with forming a team?”Jeanette wanted to refuse, at first. After all, having her, the mother, in an activity like this was more than enough. Because of his insistence, the staff immediately recognized him as the father of her son and told them to sit down according to their seats.“Are you that eager to play this game, Mr. Elias?” Felix asked him, co
Jeanette couldn’t bring herself to care about the amusement park employees, who were gesturing at the start of a new game. All she wanted to do was take Felix and leave as soon as possible.She shouldn’t have agreed to let him join in in the first place for the sake of her ego.“Mommy, what’s your relationship with Mr. Elias?” Felix asked her confusedly after leaving the amusement park.“There’s no relationship between us.”“Mommy, we mustn’t tell Daddy about bumping into Mr. Elias at the am
“You’d better watch yourself.” Damon snapped icily, then walked out of the study and left the old mansion without saying goodbye to his parents.The two pictures were obviously taken today. Jeanette, Elias, and Felix were spending time together at the family games amusement park, and they looked very happy too.‘Look at them, smiling together and how close they are. It’s like they’re an actual family. No wonder Jeanette refused to let me join them. She already had a date!’Damon unconsciously
She was taken aback.‘He has his own personal elevator. Why is he suddenly using the employees’ elevator?’They were the only ones in the elevator at this time. Jeanette instinctively shifted aside.Damon had his back against her. He did not say a word to her at all.The elevator stopped on the 17th floor, but she did not leave. She allowed the doors to close again.Damon asked, “What are you doing?” She took a deep breath and stood in front of him. “Damon, what is wrong with you?”“My e
