Unexpectedly, this assistant’s words only caused Mimi to roll her eyes. “If you weren’t my assistant, I would’ve definitely slapped you silly… What do you mean by a huge comeback? Am I in that bad of a situation recently? I’ve still got to leave my house with sunglasses and a mask just because I might get recognized if I’m not careful. So, why would I have to make a huge comeback?” Mimi pursed her lips, slightly unhappy. Her assistant shirked her neck. “Of course, of course… You’ve always be
Mimi changed from being frustrated to delighted. She curled her lips and cleared her throat to adjust her mood before answering the phone. “Hello…” Mimi pretended to sound like she did not care, but she was long but elated. “Is something the matter? I’m very busy right now.”Elias sounded urgent on the other end of the phone call as he said, “Are you free right now?”Happy, Mimi was wondering if Elias was going to ask her out on a date. If it were not for the fact that she was going to fil
“What’s the matter?”Meanwhile, the moment the group of reporters saw Elias and Mimi, one of them suddenly said, “Hey! That’s Mimi!”After that, the group of reporters rushed over like a swarm of bees. “Run.” While Mimi was still dumbfounded, Elias grabbed her hand and ran off in a hurry. The reporters who were originally waiting to get a scoop on the Godfreys had been waiting at the hospital for three days already to no avail. Hence, now that they had bumped into a celebrity, it was only na
“You’re telling me you were freaking out, calling me out here because of said freak-out, all because you were worried about Jeanette? That’s literally it!?”Mimi felt a stab in her chest. The hurt from disappointment and bitter rage cut deep into her heart like a deluge.And Elias had not noticed just how furious Mimi was, because he shrugged and replied, “Yeah. Why?”Mimi’s eyes reddened. She cuffed him on his back. “Elias, how could you!? Who do you think I am? Some b*tch with nothing bette
He was grinning from ear to ear today, just positively upbeat.Jeanette’s eyebrows furrowed. She knew exactly why Xavier was feeling sprightly today—he was ready to capitalize on today’s stakeholders’ meeting and supersede his brother’s position.Jeanette had always reserved some form of amicability despite Damon’s very public ire with his brother because she respected him as one of the Godfreys. This time, though, her personal restraint could not change the fact that Xavier was Damon’s chief
Jeanette’s abrupt intrusion followed from the loud bang of a door being swung open. Every head in the room immediately whipped toward her direction.She could see the muted discontent in their eyes. These old-timers probably saw her as an immature, naïve little brat who was still wet around her ears—they probably thought she was undeserving of standing here, in the meeting room.A few of the stakeholders did not even know who she was. A man in his 50s frowned, remarking snappishly, “And who ar
Christophe frowned. “What?”Jeanette wriggled out of the two guards’ arms, walked toward him, and whispered something in his ears. It made Christophe freeze as the creases in his eyebrows deepened.“You’re making this up!”“Damon wanted me to pass it to you,” Jeanette replied calmly. “You’ll see.”Christophe’s attention pivoted from Jeanette to the stakeholders around them. He was vacillating between choices that no one else in the room understood.One of the stakeholders was getting impati
“I know how hard this is for you, Dad, but Damon was adamant that this is the only way—right now, in this critical juncture—for our family to maintain our hold over our family business. It’s the only solution we have left to survive this crisis.” Jeanette pointed out emphatically.Christophe’s eyebrows remained locked together in boiling frustration. “How do you expect us to stomach this!? You’re telling me that there isn’t anyone else, not a single one person in this entire Godfrey Group, who
