Talisa immediately turned stiff. That was true. The cruise was indeed his and that was why when the accident happened, he was the one who bared the responsibility for it. She now recalled the news she saw during those years while she was holed up in the house when Steve didn't allow her go out. She watched the news to keep updated with everything going on and that was how she knew. And now she realised it wasn't a surprise how he was asking her how she knew something was wrong with the cruise and if she was working with whoever was planning on going against him. It wasn't even like she was capable of hurting him any longer. "I swear I wouldn't do anything to hurt your company or yourself" She promised him since she couldn't tell him how she knew. Her promise should be enough for him to know she wouldn't work against him, right? But Regan only proved her wrong.His eyes only turned blank "Such fancy words coming from someone like you. I don't remember being hurt ever in my life by
What the hell! What was she doing here?!' He thought as he look her up and down. She was dressed in the chef's Uniform and was standing in front of his room. And again, how did she get on board without him knowing? His eyes narrows when he realised she must have used her regular cunning method to come onboard."Why are you here?" His voice was cold and emotionless. Though, the night air was cold but it wasn't enough to make her shiver, his voice did."I just wanted to check something" She replied calmly. She had decided to slip in when she concluded he wasn't going to let her in by all means. So she disguised as one of the chefs to come on. She had even messaged Tiana to tell everyone at work that she was on a five days business trip to Brazil and that was enough to keep them quiet. She was going to deal with the cheating couples immediately she returns, but the safety of her friends comes first. "Check what again? You aren't going to tell me there's gasoline here too right? or so
It was the sound of continuous footsteps that made Talisa open her eyes when she couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't sleep in a loud environment and adding her nightmare which actually happened at some point, to it was unbearable.She looked around the unfamiliar room in confusion and tried remembering where she was. It was after a while she recalled she was on the cruise but this room? She tried recalling how she got here but to no avail. The door was pushed open and she glanced at it, waiting for whoever opened it to appear. But when she saw the person, her eyes widened in surprise. Regan? What was he doing here? "I see you are awake" He casually said as he strode in. "Since you are fine now, you wouldn't mind leaving my room, right? I need to sleep" Talisa only looked at him blankly. What does he mean by his room and that he wanted to sleep? She looked around and gasped 'Does this mean....The look on his face was enough for her to confirm what she needed to. She immediatel
"You see....I thought about it all night and realized it was better Elina and I remain like this. Maybe I'm only waiting for her to tell me that she doesn't want me anymore and that she loves someone else. I love her, okay, but I don't want someone who doesn't want to be with me" Talisa nodded in understanding as she could relate."Why don't you just talk it out with her instead of hurting alone? Don't you think it's unfair if you are the only one hurting and she's fine with hurting you?" She told him as she also knows how it felt to be hurting alone and also how it feels to be hurting someone you love who loves you back. It's a tormenting feeling and she doesn't want others to experience it. "What about you? I mean your husband and mistress matter, how are you planning on coping with it?" He asked now with a serious look at her. She shrugged "Actually, I have no legit plan yet except embarrassing them and making them lose their reputation which is why this five days trip is actuall
She froze. This wasn't how she planned out her mission. How could she be caught just like that!"Wh...wh..y are you suddenly back?" She asked stuttering but then realized she wasn't even supposed to be the one asking questions. "I saw you enter my room and I wondered why you were here" To her surprise, he replied her. She was expecting him to get angry and drag her out or at least lash out at her, but he replied her like they were on good terms. What she didn't know was that, Regan already decided to tolerate her presence for the next four days, afterall they would go their separate ways after, so it wasn't necessary to be all agitated for no good reason. His gaze moved from her face to the books in her hand then his expression softened. "You can have them" He told her which contributed to another wave of shock that hit her. 'Why is he being nice all of a sudden?' She wondered but she didn't dare ask him directly."I'm sorry for entering your room without permission, I only wanted
Isabella didn't waste time in heading for Steve's office in order to complain about Tiana's treatment of her. She was so frustrated that she didn't even notice the people in his office before she started lamenting."Steve, you should have seen the way that damned assistant of that bitch treated me just now, I felt li--" She froze when she noticed the HR manager, Howard and some other department heads, looking at her blankly because of her sudden intrusion. She immediately bowed in greetings when she recovered "I- I'm so sorry for my rudeness just now" Though she didn't feel apologetic at all. But for the sake of the bigger picture, she'll do anything, even if she had to knew in front of those lowly bastards. Howard broke into laughter then glanced at Steve as he said "She must be so comfortable with you because she's your cousin that she didn't even remember to knock before coming in" Though he said so with a smile, anyone hearing it could detect the coldness that came with it. He
Suddenly curious about what Kathryn was up to, she joined them and even was unfortunate to sit right beside Regan but he didn't seem to mind as he didn't even looked at her once. He seemed to be ignoring her existence."I didn't see you at lunch, did you have it in your room?" Matt asked, breaking the awkward silence. He didn't even seem to notice anything was wrong with the atmosphere."I slept off while waiting for lunch" She simply replied then took a sip from the glass of milk in her hand. She wasn't comfortable around Regan, especially after she saw the book. It made her feel like she was walking on needles around him. Worst of it all, he wasn't even sparing her a gaze as he was fully focused on the book in his hand."You look horrible though" Matt further observed, looking at her face. "Really? It must be because I didn't wash my face after waking up" "You didn't even wash your face and you are looking this stunning. And Matt, what do you mean by she looks horrible? did you s
"Let's talk" He says and walked away immediately without waiting for her to even decide whether she would come or not. But then, he was sure she'll follow him.For someone who had been ignoring her to suddenly appear in front of her and request for them to talk, was an huge surprise to her. But most of all, she wondered what he wanted to talk about and so, she immediately followed him."Ouch!" She groaned when her head hit into something hard. As she had been engrossed in wondering what he wanted to talk about, she didn't notice he had stopped and thus, she crashed into his back."I'm sorry, I wasn't looking" She hastily apologized in case he thinks she did it on purpose. Regan was only looking down at her with an expressionless face and his lips pursed, he seemed to be debating on how to start his discussion. "Your assistant called Alonzo days ago and said you wanted to have a meet up with me. How about we have the meeting now?" He said with a smile on which Talisa hadn't been ex
