“You…! You’ve crossed the line, Neal…! You of all people know how much Fabiola loves you, yet you still chose to be with her best friend instead…?! How could you do this?!” roared the furious Lea, leaving Neal slightly speechless. Not wanting Neal to get scolded like that, Wanda took a step forward and said, “He’s not to blame! I am-” “That goes without saying! You already know how hard Fabiola has tried to win his affection throughout the years, but here you are, still acting like a little bitch-” “That’s enough! Just vent your rage on me and leave Wanda alone!” roared Neal as he hugged the teary-eyed Wanda. “You…! You…!” growled the dissatisfied Lea who could not believe what was happening right now! Despite all the shouting and chaos, all Fabiola could see was Neal hugging Wanda… and the longer she stared, the icier her lonely heart became… It was shortly after when Neal brought Wanda home, and the second he entered the house, he heard Zayne yell, “You fool…! How dare yo
Since Xavia had shouted rather loudly, Neal was able to hear that statement… and after a slight frown, he was prompted to ask, “…She what?” After an awkward silence, Zayne eventually sighed before muttering, “…It kind of makes sense after what happened today…” Clenching his fists, the worried Neal eventually grabbed his car keys before striding off, completely forgetting about Wanda in the process… It was about half an hour later when Neal arrived at a bar… and upon entering, he was immediately greeted by a familiar voice rapping, “Check it out, yo! Come on, let’s get this party fiery!” Standing amongst a crowd of dancing people, was Fabiola enthusiastically hyping everyone up… and though Neal was glad that she was safe and sound, he quickly shook his head before taking a deep breath and walking over to her… Before he could reach her, however, a man got to her first and asked, “Oh, fair lady, may I have this dance?” Wanting to continue drowning her sorrows with fun, Fabiola
Feeling slightly uncomfortable when he saw her like this, he eventually muttered, “…Hey, I’m sure you’ll find a better man, plus I’ll still continue caring for you as I always have…” Smiling wryly in response, Fabiola simply began looking out the window… and soon enough, she was fast asleep… Fast forward to the next morning, Fabiola awoke to a headache… and before she could register where she was, Yulia suddenly popped into view and asked, “Fabiola? You’re awake! How do you feel…?” Maison himself was quick to say, “Don’t be sad for that scumbag, Fabiola! I have plenty of friends to recommend to you who are way better than him!” It took her a while, but Fabiola eventually gritted her teeth before replying, “…No. I’ve promised myself that I’d win his affection, and I’ll make sure that happens! I’m trying again and again, even if it kills me!” Following that, she quickly got up and began preparing herself to head to the Xenos Group’s headquarters, leaving her brothers and sister
Watching as Wanda’s eyes turned red with grief, Fabiola simply sneered before patting Wanda’s shoulder and saying, “Hey, I didn’t even cry after what happened last night, so don’t make it seem like you’re being wronged here, alright? That aside, let’s give that car a ride later, Neal. I’m sure you’ll love it! I’ll be waiting!” Before Neal could even reply, Fabiola had already walked off… and just as he was wondering what he should do, the saddened Wanda began running in the opposite direction! Choosing to prioritize her, Neal chased Wanda all the way to his office… After locking the door behind them, the weeping woman eventually found the voice to say, “I… I think we should end it while we can…” Feeling his heart skip a beat, Neal replied, “…Hey, she wasn’t playing fair so please don’t take that to heart-” “How could I not when my literal boyfriend was given such a grand gift in front of me…?! It’s always been like this… Just because I don’t come from a well-off family, it only
...This girl was truly something else… Watching as she closed her ears and shook her head, Neal couldn’t help but sigh helplessly. Just when was this girl going to grow up? Still, he had to admit that he had been rather harsh on her recently, so… “…Hey, you’re going to get dizzy if you keep doing that… Also, keep your car… I don’t need such a gift.” Pursing her lips, Fabiola replied, “…I won’t take back the gifts that I’ve given. If you refuse to take it, then you’ll have to throw it away! That aside, I have other things to do now so goodbye!” Watching as she ran off once more, all he could do was sigh again before getting into the car and driving up to her… “…I hope you realize just how short your skirt is… Look, just… get in. I’ll give you a ride home so that you can change into something more decent before heading out again…” Beaming in response, Fabiola then got into the car… but before Neal could start driving again, he nearly choked when he heard her ask, “…Don’t worr
In the end, she couldn’t stop herself from trying to call him… but to her dismay, he never picked up. Feeling increasingly anxious, she leaned against his chair before starting to wonder if he was ignoring her on purpose… If that was the case, then… That meant that they had a chance, right? After all, he would only have a reason to avoid her if he secretly had feelings for her… and with that understanding, she ultimately sent him a text, stating, ‘I know you’re busy, so I’ll head home first. However, do call me once you return… I miss you so much that I can’t even eat or sleep well…’ An hour later, and still no reply. Pursing her lips, she ultimately walked up to his secretary before asking, “Any idea where Neal is?” Feeling slightly awkward, the secretary cleared her throat before saying, “…He didn’t inform me, though… He’s been busy negotiating a contract with the Robinson Group of late, so…” …Negotiating? What kind of contract required an entire day’s worth of negotiating?!
Looking as icy as they had described him to be, Hanley Robinson stepped into the room, his eyes as sharp as an eagle’s… This was the man who had taken over the Robinson Group three years ago, and though he ruled with an iron fist, all his decisions produced great results, which ultimately led to the company standing as high as it was today… It was exactly because of his immense talent in business that many were afraid of him… Regardless, upon stepping into his office, Hanley immediately squinted. After all, his office was littered with garbage bags and snacks! What’s more, there was a woman lying on his couch, and it even seemed like she had lost one of her socks! Just what on earth had happened while he was gone?! Shivering slightly, his secretary explained, “T-this is the youngest lady of Young Master Burton’s family, so…” Now understanding why she had been allowed to do all this, Hanley replied, “…Leave us.” After the secretary quickly nodded before bolting off, Hanley too
Moving back to Fabiola, she was quick to rush over to Neal’s office and exclaim, “I got you the contract, Neal!” Understandably startled to hear that, Neal raised a slight brow before reading through the contract… and when he finally realized what was happening, the wide-eyed man replied, “You… Got Hanley to sign this…?” Hanley had refused to even meet him in the past few days, yet… Somehow, Fabiola had not only met up with that man, but she had even managed to secure that piece of land as well! Smiling smugly, Fabiola replied, “Well? Aren’t I capable? Since that’s the case, feel free to reward me with a kiss!” It took him a while, but he eventually replied, “…I refuse to accept this.” “…Is it because you didn’t get it on your own? Neal, we’re going to be a family eventually anyway, so-” “I said I don’t want it!” interrupted Neal, leaving Fabiola slightly startled… However, that feeling quickly turned into a slight temper, and after slamming the contract against his desk,
