ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 27 His Faith on Her
Elissa was nervous. Few of the employees were giving her dirty looks, some were gossiping and few consoled her. She was walking to Benjamin's office but each step she took felt heavier.She knocked on the door and when he said to enter, she did. She felt somewhat awkward to meet his eyes and so kept her gaze down to her knotted fingers.“Have a seat” he said. Elissa pushed the chair and sat opposite him. She had guessed this must be related to her online problem. If he fired her, it was only reasonable. “You must know why you are here, Elissa.”Elissa nodded. She didn't know what she would do after she lost the job. She couldn't afford to lose it but she was at fault in people's eyes. She thought Benjamin wouldn't believe her like everyone and that made her more upset. She didn't realize she was getting emotional when a drop of tear fell on her shaky hands placed on her lap.“Elissa, are you okay?” Benjamin asked, his tone worried, and placed his hand on her shoulder. Her body shook a

After the matter was solved, Elissa received numerous flattery from people. They started to admire her works again. The news had reached Harold Raymond as well.Benjamin called his father, wanting to know if he was still strict on his decision of firing Elissa. “Dad.”“Yes, Benjamin?”“I'm guessing you have seen the video of Elissa? It's very clear she is not an imposter and moreover, she is an excellent designer, Dad. If we let her go, that will be a great loss to the company.”“Yes, I am aware of that. Fine, she can work” Harold said. Although he wasn't fully fine with the decision of her being around Benjamin he doesn't have many reasons to drive her out. What was beneficial to the company, mattered to him.“Thank you, Dad.” Benjamin was relieved that his Dad agreed. He managed to save Elissa and no matter what big of a problem had come, he would always be there to solve it for her. After ending the call, Benjamin had a wide smile on his face. He was thinking about the hug. It made

“Lia!” Elissa squealed and took her daughter in her embrace. She hugged her tightly and gave kisses on her cheeks, forehead, and all over her face. Elissa was so happy to see her daughter that tears welled in the corner of her eyes.Lia pinched her cheeks with her small hands and leaning closer, she brushed her nose with her. Elissa couldn't help but love her even more. This was something Elissa taught her when he was one year.“Some room for me too?” Jonathan chimed in, feeling left out seeing the mother-daughter mingling. Elissa laughed and putting down Lia from her hold, she went to give him a hug.“I missed you two so much” she expressed.“We missed you too. Lia was so upset without you” Jonathan grinned, sharing a look with Lia. Elissa pulled away and wiped her happy tears, she helped them get freshen up. It was seven in the morning when the plane landed. It took the two half an hour time to reach Elissa's apartment.Elissa helped her brother arrange their clothes. She showed him

A young beautiful woman walked into the Raymond company. She had her sunglasses on and a smile played on her lips. Her strawberry blonde hair was made into a high ponytail that appeared smooth and silky. She was wearing a white blazer top and formal shorts that cost thousands of dollars.The receptionist at the front desk was awestruck by her beauty but she came to her senses when the woman tried to go inside the workplace without any appointment.“Excuse me, Miss” the receptionist named Hannah called her. The young woman paused in her tracks and turned around to take a look. She pushed down the sunglass that rested on her nose bridge and asked, “Yes? Are you referring to me?”Hannah smiled and bobbed her head. “Yes. Do you have any appointments with sir? We cannot let you in without his permission.”The beautiful woman removed her sunglasses and gave the receptionist a cold look; completely different from a minute earlier. Her grey protruding eyes stared at the receptionist with an i

Gabriel Havels reached the orphanage. He was nervous because whatever the truth was, it would change his life. He saw children playing merrily in the playground and his heart swelled. He walked to the administrative office and before entering he knocked on the grey door. The sister, who was the in charge of this place was setting the book shelf when she heard the knock. She asked him to come inside, politely asking him to sit on the couch.

She was not looking him in the eye and have looking at her bookshelf. “I am sorry, Mr. Mayor. There has been some misunderstanding from my part. I mistakenly checked someone else’s record.

Few days later,Gabriel Havels was in his home office, looking at the documents when he heard a knock on the door. He tilted his head and saw Kimberly and Amanda standing by the door. He slight frown marked his face but didn't jump to any conclusion as to why they looked worried and nervous. He closed the file and rose from the chair.He never did family-related conversations in his office which was rather offensive to Kimberly as she thought that the Mayor didn't trust her enough.“There is something we need to talk to you about,” Kimberly said with a smile, glancing at Amanda who stood beside her fidgeting with her fingers.The Mayor nodded and the three headed to the living room down the stairs. The Mayor ignored the whispers of the two women from his behind which was annoying. He didn't like gossiping or talking about anything behind his back.Amanda was not sure if they should talk to her father about the scandal. But he was the only one who could persuade Carson.

Raymond Corporation,“What the hell is this?” Georgina yelled with anger marking her beautiful face. She threw the papers in anger in the dustbin and gave Elissa the meanest look she had possessed. “Do you even know your work? Are you really at this position because of your talent?” she mocked, indirectly accusing her of seducing the higher-ups.Elissa clenched her teeth together and kept her anger under control. She couldn't lose her patience. If she did, she would lose the job that she couldn't afford. “Please tell me what you didn't like in my designs. I will correct it accordingly?”“Nothing!

Amanda smirked and leaned a little.“She is a bitch who is trying to steal my fiancé,” Amanda said, her expression turning sour. She didn't mention the divorce part, because she felt that wasn't necessary.Georgina's eyes widened in surprise and she blurted, “Oh my, I have the same situation too!” That was surprising for Amanda too. “My God, I can't believe how shameless she is.

“Elissa!”Elissa flinched, coming back to reality after hearing Benjamin's voice. “Yes?” she croaked, positioning herself correctly on the chair.“Are you alright? I called you twice” he said. Elissa nodded, saying she was fine but she wasn't. She was thinking about Carson. She was worried about the company situation. Although she did help him with the design, she still thought it wasn't enough. She had the urge to go and check if he was doing okay but she had been holding herself back. She knew how workaholic Carson was, and he wouldn't rest until and unless the work is over.“Anyways, we have a meeting at ten. You need to be present there as well” Benjamin added.As he was leaving, she asked him about Carson. “Have you heard about Waverlys Group and Co facing a tough time?”Benjamin's left brow rose in curiosity, wondering why she was asking him about it. “Well, yes.

“Mommy, where is Daddy? Why hasn't he come today?” Lia questioned the moment Elissa entered the apartment.“He didn't come?” she asked. “He must be busy with work, sweetheart. Don't worry, he will come some other day” Elissa tried to assure her daughter.“Will he leave us? Will he go to catch fish again?” Lia pouted, making a sad face.“No, of course not. He is only busy with work, love.”“Call him!” Lia demanded. Elissa didn't want to call Carson even if she too wanted to know if he was okay. Elissa refused, making an excuse that she shouldn't disturb Carson but Lia wasn't going to buy that.As they descended to the living room, Elissa gestured to her brother to handle Lia but he shrugged, saying, “She had asked me about for the whole day, eating my brain out. I think you should just ask that lad. Lia will calm down by then.”“Mommy, please! Call him!”“Alright, alright. I'll call him” she agreed at last.

She had wondered if he would be a loving father when they were planning for a baby, and it made her smile that he actually loves Lia more than she thought.Elissa also wondered why he hadn't come to her apartment for three days.

When Elissa went to notify Benjamin about her work, she noticed he was tense. His forehead was creased and he was in deep thought that he didn't realise she had come in. “Excuse me, sir.”Benjamin blinked, coming back to reality. “Oh, yes, well, what were you saying?” he asked, turning on his laptop.Elissa gave him the pen drive in which her presentation was saved. “The work is done.

She was overthinking about encountering Georgina again.She doesn't want any rivalry. Yesterday, she gave her answer to Benjamin about joining back again, and he was elated. She hasn't told this to Carson, because why should she? She wasn't answerable to him in any sort of way.When she entered the workspace, all the employees had their eyes on her.

After Lia's surgery, Carson was visiting her more and more. Elissa was annoyed but at the same time she was happy to see her daughter glowing.“Look, I have you the permission to see her, but that does not mean you will come to live here” Elissa said. He was playing with Lia in the small living room and Elissa had asked him to follow her to the kitchen leaving Lia with Jonathan who was as annoyed as her.“You don't like me here?” the question made her gape. Was she not clear enough that day?“Yes, I don't, Carson. I don't think you should give Lia hopes that you will always be here, taking care of her and all. There is no chance–”“I was not bluffing about what I said on that day. I meant every word. I will always take care of both of you. Even if you don't like me - which is a lie - I am not letting go of my daughter or you. I have made that mistake before, I don't want to again.”Elissa knew she couldn't agree with him about this, so let it go and sighed. “Fine. Whatever. Buf you ar
