At first glance, the manager immediately knew that her staff had judged the wrong person. She gave the staff an angry look before approaching the plainly dressed woman. “Ma’am, I’m sorry for what my staff did.” Sophie and Elizabeth were even more surprised because of what the manager was doing. “Hey, what are you doing? Do you know that that woman did not only do something bad to your staff?” Sophie said to the manager. The manager looked at the two women for a moment. Suddenly, she doubted what to do next. She needs to prioritize good customers because business is business.Stella extended her hand in front of Alex and he immediately gave her the gold card. “You can watch the surveillance camera footage, so you can find out who is really at fault here.”“Huh, you’re really arrogant! Who are you proud of, that old man you’re in love with?” Elizabeth asked Stella insultingly. A corner of Stella’s lips lifted and she shook her head. In that case, Charles was referring to Alex as hi
“Useless! How can you not trace where she is? It’s clear that she’s just around the corner and hasn’t left the country!” Charles angrily slammed the folder he was holding on the table. Sophie, who was quiet inside her brother’s office, was shocked by her brother’s anger. “Sorry, sir, but even her clothing purchase record is not available.” Roy’s head was bowed and nervous. Charles hit the table again with his fist out of anger.“Brother, I think that the person whom Stella traded you to has a bigger connection. Perhaps she also changed her name to hide her background from the family of the person who she traded you.”Charles’ eyes was still sharp when he looked back at his sister. His sister may be right and his ego cannot accept that. He felt that his ex-wife had cheated on him and made a fool of him. No wonder when she signed the divorce papers. Perhaps the woman had been preparing for their separation for a long time. “She will definitely attend the event, brother.”Charles’ ey
“Have you already chosen what to wear?” Fausto asked his granddaughter. “Yes, grandpa. How are you feeling?” She stroked her grandfather’s forehead. She knows his blood pressure rate has increased because of her cousins. She is really just waiting for her grandfather to introduce her to the public before she confronts those they suspect of being involved in her father’s death.“I’m fine, and don’t worry about me. You need to focus now on how to face them all and show you’re not weak!” She smiled sparingly at her grandfather. “I promised that I would not oppose your decisions in my life.”Fausto smiled again. It seemed that his granddaughter had learned to fight alone because of her experience in life. He should be thanking whoever impregnated her granddaughter.“Grandpa, as much as possible, I don’t want anyone else to know about my son.” Fausto nodded, he didn’t want others to meet his great-grandchild so far, especially since he was a boy. The child is now in the place where Stel
Diana looked at the woman staring at them. When their eyes met, surprise appeared on her face. “Stella?”Stella didn’t wonder if the woman was surprised to see her. Well, she didn’t know her true personality, so she would definitely wonder why she was there and on that floor. She was about to step closer to the woman when the man she was talking to suddenly turned towards her. Earlier, Diana was the only one who was surprised to see her. Now, she was the one who was shocked when she saw the man. Charles frowned when he recognized the woman he was looking at. What he thought earlier was just a mishearing of the name Diana mentioned. He didn’t think that he would find his ex-wife, whom he had been looking for a long time, in that company alone.“Gosh, it’s you, Stella!” Diana exclaimed exasperatedly and quickly approached the woman. “What are you doing here? I mean, since when have you been an employee here at our company?” Stella wanted to roll her eyes, but she stopped herself. She
“Sir, the meeting is about to start.” Charles turned to his secretary, who unknowingly followed him. He sighed before walking back to the conference room. Stella lost the will to go to the conference room. She also had a sudden headache, so she decided to leave. Alex quickly approached the girl and helped her get to the elevator. Charles clenched his fist when he saw the man with Stella. In that case, the same man was accompanied by his ex-wife. The man seems to have a connection to this company, so they are there. After getting off the elevator, the two faced him. Both of them gave each other a cold look before the elevator closed.“Are you all right, ma’am?” Alex asked the girl. “Let’s go straight to my son,” she whispered to Alex. The man did not ask any more questions and followed what the girl ordered. In the mansion, Fausto is restless while waiting for his assistant to call. He waited another twenty minutes until the phone rang. “Sir, I’m sorry if I called you just now.
“Is he the one you said was your friend, Diana?” Vanz asked his sister. “Brother!” She smiled and held on to her brother’s arm. “That’s him, brother, and please don’t torture him here.”Mauro scratched the back of his neck and could no longer refuse the girl’s invitation. He knows Vanz. He knows that he is one of the nominees for CEO of that company today. Vanz faced the man with a smile. “It’s nice to meet you again. I apologize for being in the conference room earlier if I have a lot of questions.” Diana pursed her lips and gently pulled her brother’s arm. It means that she didn’t like what he did earlier.“I understand that business is business. Even if I were in your position, I would do the same. Thank you for being professional, and please don’t give me special treatment because your sister became my friend.”“Mauro, don’t worry because you are no longer at work, so my brother will talk to you like this. Get used to him because he treats everyone close to me like this.” Her
“Ma’am, let me prepare you your favorite breakfast.” Marimar quickly moved away from the boss’s ex-wife. Stella tried to stop the maid, but she had already moved away. She looked back at Charles, as if she were hallucinating, when the strange emotion was reflected in his eyes. It was as if her sight was deceiving her, and she could read in Charles’ eyes that he longs for her. Charles blinks in realization. It was as if he hadn’t recognized his own feelings earlier and had briefly lost himself. “It’s good that there is still some consent left in your heart and you thought of visiting Grandpa.” The anger returned to her heart because of what the young man said. It seems that she was just deceived by her own eyes earlier. The man is still arrogant and has no love for her. He still thinks of her as a gold digger and a hypocrite.“I don’t want trouble. I didn’t come here to talk to you.” Charles was momentarily stunned by Stella’s cold conversation with him. He stared into her eyes, bu
“Hija, be patient with my grandson. Don’t worry about me because there is a nurse who is already taking care of me. I am happy to see you today, and I am relieved because you seem to be happy with your life now.”Stella smiled and nodded to the old man before turning to Charles. “My husband is rich, so I don’t have to work hard to earn money.”Charles’s jaw tightened and moved. He couldn’t accept that his ex-wife no longer needed him because it looked like he had been replaced with a man with more money. “But don’t worry, I’ll still visit Grandpa Ramon and take care of him when I have time. I guess I am still welcome here anytime I want to come since this is my house, ain’t I?” “Of course, but let Grandpa stay here because he prefers to live here.”The young man’s face was formal when talking to her. She shook herself when she looked at his face again. The man seemed to be doing it with purpose, and he even grew his hair longer. “Don’t assume. You’re not the reason why he grew his
After entering the room, Alexa immediately hugged her husband. But instead of being sweet with her, she instead received a sermon from him.“Babe, don’t repeat what you did earlier when you left without saying goodbye and even left your cellphone behind.”Alexa pouted. “Babe, don’t be angry. I forgot to call you back earlier because I was in a hurry to come here to get home right away. I want to get my inheritance from Grandpa so I can slap your woman’s father with it.”Zion frowned and remembered what the old man said earlier. “Who insulted your personality earlier?”“I don’t know him, but he said that he knows your family personally and that he is the father of the woman you are destined to marry.” Alexa suddenly frowned and sulked at the man because he has another woman.“That bastard! How dare he brag about himself and tell you about his daughter!”Alexa frowned even more and spoke badly of her husband. “Babe, slow down!”Zion’s forehead still didn’t flatten even though his wife l
“Go inside and coax your wife. But you should stay here overnight, and I want to be with my granddaughter too.”“Thank you very much for understanding, Grandpa.” Zion stepped forward first and entered the house.When Alexa saw her husband, she jumped down from the high leg stool where she was sitting. “Babe, how did you know I was here?”“Why did you leave the company and leave your bag in my office with your cellphone?” Zion asked his wife, sounding angry.“I don’t know where the way back to your office from the exclusive room is. Then when I went out the door, another man met me, and he was angry.”“Wait, you own the company that my grandchildren have joined as interns?” Simon asked the young man in shock.Alexa’s eyes widened. She doesn’t want anyone else to know about her husband’s true personality, especially her family. Not that she’s embarrassed or anything. But maybe they will take advantage of Zion’s kindness. She knew her grandfather; he didn’t just have business on his mind
Dave left where he parked his car when he couldn’t spot Alexa. Now that he knows where the woman lives, it’s easy for him to make his plan.At the villa, Simon is surprised to see his granddaughter, and it looks like she’s about to cry. “What happened? Where is your husband?”Lourdes is also worried that she approached her daughter because of her sudden arrival.“Grandpa, they are so bad!”“Who?” Simon and Lourdes asked at the same time.“The family of the woman who likes Zion!” Alexa sat down on the sofa.“What? Zion has another woman?” Simon asked angrily.“Someone likes him, and it’s not a woman.” Alexa’s correction.“Then why are you getting affected by them? You should not go home here but to your husband’s, so that you can fight for him.” Simon’s sermon.“Grandpa, they belittled me and told me that I’m not suitable for Zion because I’m poor. This is your fault, Grandpa!” Alexa’s complained to her grandfather.Lourdes’ eyes widened, worried for what might come out of her daughter
“Are you Ms. Alexa from the marketing department?”Alexa stared at the gentleman for a moment, who seemed to have really waited for her there and waited for her to come out. Judging from his looks, she knew that the gentleman had a high position in the company. “Yes, it’s me, sir. Do you need anything from me?”“I am one of the most respected in the company, and I know the CEO’s family.”Alexa wanted to raise her eyebrows because of the man’s arrogance, but she stopped herself. “What is the connection between my work and your personality, by the way?” She wanted to voice it out, but she chose not to, and the gentleman might cringe.“I just want to tell you to stay away from Mr. Zion; you don’t fit in with him.”Alexa’s ears perked up at what she heard, and she couldn’t stop herself from voicing what was on her mind. “And who’s right for him, you?” She responded sarcastically to the gentleman. And this time, she didn’t want to act politely toward the rude gentleman.“Stupid! I’m not ga
Zion stood up quickly as he picked up his wife and carried her to the long sofa. He can take her to the VIP room, and it has a connecting door to his office. But he wants his wife to experience a different ambiance while they’re having sex. In her naughtiness, he knows that she wants to experience lovemaking inside his office.Alexa didn’t want to lose against her husband. She also hurriedly took off the necktie that her husband was wearing and unbuttoned his full sleeve as well. She also took off what she was wearing. Then, she immediately started licking his chest when it was exposed in front of her. And grabbed his hard cock from his trousers. It felt good, and it was obviously very angry. Kind of snake wanted to bite. While her lips indulged in her husband’s chest, her hand was also busy caressing and squeezing Zion’s cock.“Babe, I don’t have any protection with me today!” Zion’s voice was hoarse as he stroked his wife’s hair. He let her do what she wanted to do with his body.Al
Alexa was unable to speak when her husband sat her down on the long sofa. She could feel his anger too. She wasn’t sure if it was for her or for the woman outside.“Next time, I don’t want you to eat food that is not given to you voluntarily.”Alexa bowed her head in shame and was scolded like a child. “I’m sorry.”Zion sighed and tried to calm himself down. “Babe, I’m not mad at you. I just don’t want someone belittling you and in front of me. We had a lot of money to buy food and—”She hugged the man and tearfully buried her face in his chest again. “I’m sorry, and I’m putting you to shame because I’ve been rational and wasn’t thinking. I just wanted to tease her because if she acts, it's like she’s the boss here.”Zion sighed again and struggled to explain his own feelings in a way that would not hurt his wife. What she doesn’t know is that he is more affected when she is insulted or abused by others. He doesn’t want other people to look down on her. He knows she can defend herself
Alexa stood up in a hurry when she heard the alarm bell, signaling that it was break time. They have fifteen minutes to have a snack.“Alexa, where are you going?” Loida called.“Going to poop, will you come with me?” She even smiled at the woman.“Ewww, you’re disgusting!” Loida quickly moved away from Alexa while waving her hand in the air as if to drive away the bad wind.Alexa just laughed before hurrying to leave. She will go to her husband and maybe the snake coiled around him. She knows which floor and room her husband’s office is.She meets employees in the hallway who stare at her. She ignored them and continued walking. When she opened in front of the elegant glass door, she turned around. There, she caught those who were there also turn to her as if they were recognizing her.When she entered inside, she immediately looked for Jerry, but she saw a different face, and the sleeping dragon in her personality immediately woke up.“Are you here to clean up?” Jackie raised her ey
“Hey, what does that Jackie look like?” Alexa asked the girl next to her.“Jackie?” The woman also answered another question.Alexa nodded, narrowing her eyes tightly.“She’s mean. Most people know her because she interned here once. She’s also arrogant because her father is one of the company’s board of directors.”Alexa pursed her lips. What she had in mind was that the girl has really something to brag about. She suddenly remembered the snob woman earlier. Oh God, just don’t make it the same as the woman who wants to flirt with her husband. If she didn’t have work to do at the moment, she might have rushed to her husband’s office. But she has to be professional. Everyone respects her husband, and they cannot know that she is his wife. She is ashamed of herself; she needs to finish school first so that she can have something to be proud of to everyone as Zion’s wife.When Zion entered the visitor area of the office, Jackie was indeed there. “Do you need anything?” he asked the girl
Alexa seemed to be frozen in place when suddenly three men came and dragged Dave away. What surprised her was that Dave didn’t fight back, and his face looked scared as he stared at the old man. She then looked at the gentleman’s face and noticed that he was obviously still angry.Charles quickly changed the aura on his face, and the girl almost squinted from staring at him. “Is there something wrong with my face, Hija?”“Grandpa, why would Dave look at you like that? You don’t look like a devil for him to feel scared of you so much.”Charles smiled, and for a moment, he forgot the anger he was feeling earlier. “Who is that man who has the audacity to insult you?”“I don’t even know why he’s so rude. He’s the boyfriend of my arrogant and bossy cousin. My grandfather would have chosen him to marry me for the sake of my inheritance.”“It’s a good thing you didn’t end up marrying him.”“Oh, Grandpa, I’m smart, and he’s not my type. I made a way for my grandpa to know that he’s a maniac a
