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

    “The million pesos you are talking about; are you sure she took them in exchange for her freedom?” Charles was even more confused by the question from his grandfather. All he knows is that Stella accepted the money and left. “And you believe she has another man?” Ramon asked his grandson again. “Grandpa, you heard her saying earlier that she is married to a rich man.” He seems to be forced to answer his grandpa. Ramon shook his head. “Your sister, I hope he wouldn’t be stupid in choosing a marriage partner. And doesn’t become blind to the truth like you.”Charles sighed softly and didn’t argue with what his grandfather said. If he is the one that follows, he wants to expel his stepmother from their siblings’s lives when their father is gone. But Sophie loves Magda because she is her mother, who has come to her senses. His grandpa didn’t speak again, so he distracted himself with work again. “The food is ready, grandpa. Come on, I know you miss my cooking.” Stella energetically ap

    “Alexa, where have you been again? Don’t say the CEO is ordering you to do something because we know he is not around and he is with Jackie,” Daisy interrogated Alexa.“Yeah, he’s not around, but he left me a lot of work to do,” Alexa reasoned. They know that she is helping the secretary when she gets to Zion’s office.Loida looks at Liza. It seems that she doesn’t care and didn’t mind Alexa anymore because she couldn’t see any reaction from her friend.“Work hours, the chat is enough!” Jessa said to those who were there.Alexa smiled and ignored the person who was jealous of her. As she looked at her cousin, they exchanged a smile.After work, Alexa went straight to her grandfather’s house. Jerry sent her home, and Zion would be with his parents, who were coming to formally talk to her family.“Liza, why did you and your cousin suddenly become on good terms?” Joan wonders to her daughter.“Mom, I don’t want to compete with Alexa, and I’m just embarrassed. Let the crown on her.”Joan

    Alexa stopped talking when her husband kissed the back of her palm. She cried as she embraced him. “Thank you for loving me!”“Do you believe that I love you?” He teased as he gently caressed Alexa’s hair.She nodded as she sank her face between Zion’s neck and shoulder. She believed in him even before. She just didn’t take it to heart because she was afraid that his feelings for her might change immediately. She is also afraid that he will get tired of her naughtiness.“I love you even if you are the most naughty. I love you for what and who you are, so don’t think my feelings for you might change.”She quickly lifted her face and couldn’t help but shed tears. “When you leave me, I will bewitch you!”Instead of pitying his wife’s appearance because she was crying, he laughed at her. He laughed out of joy. Before she could cry even more, he hugged her tightly. “Even if you try all the love spells against me, I’m okay with it.”Alexa just burst into tears because of her husband’s joke.

    When Jerry opened the door connected to his boss’s office, he slowly pushed his head through the small ajar of the door. It was as if his eyes had a laser looking at what Alexa was doing. His neck grew longer when he saw the woman sitting pretty as she was eating shrimp. His look moved to the table, and his eyes widened; lobsters’ and other shrimp’s skins were scattered there.“What the heck! It looks like she consumed all the food for God’s sake.” Jerry was talking to himself.Alexa quickly lowered her feet to the table when she noticed Jerry.Jerry suddenly opened the door widely, and he smiled while approaching the woman. “Ms. Alexa, aren’t you angry anymore?”Smiling, Alexa shook her head and showed Jerry the picture she saw in the group chat.Jerry’s eyes widened as he saw the picture of his boss and Jackie. He held his chest and looked like he was about to jump into his cage because of the nervousness. Maybe this time, Alexa will walk out. And his tiredness will surely double in

    “Babe, you’re not eating yet!” Alexa chased after her husband when he left the office.Jackie quickly stood up. And her eyes widened when she saw the anger on Zion’s face. And Jerry opened his mouth full of food while looking at the two chasing.“If you don’t trust me, you will eat alone there.”Jerry almost spit out the food in his mouth when he heard what his boss said. But he quickly swallowed it even though he was about to choke and immediately stood up to prevent the man from leaving. “Sir, please calm down. Whatever the misunderstandings between the two of you, you should talk to each other calmly.”“Let him go, Jerry! He’s guilty; that is why he’s angry!” Alexa said tearfully and turned away.Jerry was left speechless and didn’t know who to advise first between the couple to get them together.“Am I the guilty one now?”Jerry’s eyes flickered as he watched his boss intently. It was as if something was wrong with him. He also wanted to ask the man if, since when did he become se

    Jackie smiled even more when she read Liza’s message. She had surrendered, but she still managed to destroy Alexa’s trust in Zion. Nice job, she thought. Plus, Liza and Alexa also obviously hurt each other physically; that is why the latter looks so messy.Jerry was restless, and from time to time, he was watching over Alexa, who was alone in the office.“Jerry, what happened to Alexa?” Jackie asked, sounding innocent, and peeked into the door.“I have no idea either; I just caught her and her cousin having a fight earlier,” Jerry replied almost in a whisper.A ‘you-deserve-it’ smile formed on Jackie’s lips again. Now that Alexa and Liza have ruined each other, she’s the one left.In their working area, Liza quickly spread the news when her colleagues interrogated her. “I’m sorry, guys, the CEO is not really courting me. I’m not in Ms. Jackie’s level to rob Zion from her.”The employees darted Liza a doubtful look. It is true that Jackie is the one they know as the CEO’s girlfriend. T

    “What do you need?” Alexa asked when Liza refused to leave her way.“Can we talk?”The look that Alexa had given her cousin was doubtful. Suddenly, she became gentle, and the rudeness in her face’s aura was gone.“You two, come out if you’re feeling well,” Liza ordered Loida and Dina.The two rushed to obey and did not want to be involved in whatever the trouble was between Alexa and Liza.Alexa stared at her cousin impatiently and waited for her to speak when they were the only two left in the bathroom.“Listen, I’m sorry.”Alexa’s eyes widened slightly, and her look at Liza was examining. Her head tilted, and she seemed to be observing Liza’s head and back as if there were an angel’s wing and crown that were growing on her.“I know you will think about what happened to me, and I suddenly became kind to you. I also understand if you do not believe that I am serious and sincere.”“What is the reason, and why are you apologizing to me right now? Are you ashamed of what you are doing, a

    Alexa approached Liza and Loida when she saw her cousin eating as well. “What does the food taste like? Is it delicious?” she asked in a whisper.Liza was forced to swallow the food left in her mouth before smiling at Alexa. “Try it so you know what it tastes like.” She handed a box to her cousin.Alexa shook her head hard and turned herself away. “Thank you, but that’s from your suitor, so you should just eat it alone.”Loida’s gaze shifted curiously between the two girls exchanging conversations. When she saw Alexa refuse what Liza had given her, she approached her annoyingly. “You’re such a fussy! My friend is giving it to you nicely.”Everyone was looking back in Liza and Alexa’s direction because of Loida’s loud voice.“Liza, don’t force yourself on her. She’s jealous of you again because a CEO is courting you.” Loida even intended to raise her voice again to humiliate Alexa.Liza smiled at her friend; this is what she likes about her. She was very supportive of her and believed

    “Are you sure what you’re doing is okay?” Liza suddenly felt nervous as she watched what Jackie was doing. Today, she brought food again, even though she knew Zion would never eat it.“Yes, Zion will definitely give it to Alexa again. And when Alexa distributes it to your officemates, she will surely be blamed for what will happen.” Jackie smiled and fixed the food.Liza also smiled and was pleased with what will be the result of their plan. Zion was not there yet, so Liza left the food in his office. She also didn’t want Zion to catch her, and she might hear a bad word from the man again.Ten minutes later, Jerry arrived. Jackie immediately greeted him. “Jerry, isn’t Zion coming in?”Jerry glanced at the girl before heading inside the office. She knew Jackie was following him, so he just let her follow. “The CEO has an important business meeting today; do you need anything from him?”“His wife’s cousin brought food again; would I just go to Alexa’s working area again to give it to he

    Liza’s heart filled with anger when she was sure that the paper bag carried by Jackie was indeed hers. It was a great insult to her to see the food she had given to Zion being given to others. She gave Jackie a questioning look, but she avoided looking back at her.“For me?” Alexa asked Jackie, seeming surprised.Jackie smiled at the girl, but the way she looked at her was devilish. She quickly lowered the bag to Alexa’s working table and said goodbye.“Wow, Alexa, from whom did it come from, and Jackie even brought it here?” Jessa asked.Alexa opened the paper bag smilingly, and she first grabbed the note card along with the food. She was about to read what was written on it when Loida suddenly snatched it.“A healthy breakfast for you; I hope you like it.” Loida read the message written on the card loudly.Liza could feel the redness of her ear and irritatedly snatched the note card from Loida’s hand so that she couldn’t read the whole message contained in the note card.
