“My love, I am waiting for you downstairs,” Maya heard Spencer’s gentle voice.
“Give me five minutes,” Maya hung up the phone and speedily gathered her things.
She looked at her face in her compact mirror and closed it upon seeing that she looked fine.
Just like other employees, Maya used the elevator designated for the employees and didn’t use the elevator designated for her brother Theo.
Showing her respect for her brother will encourage other employees to respect Theo. Maya didn’t act haughty and bully employees just because she’s an heiress of a wealthy family.
Since they were kids
Looking at Spencer, he seemed to have not the slightest idea that she had been nothing but rude towards Lindy.As they entered the private room, right away Maya and Lindy’s eyes met as Lindy was facing the door.The awkward smile on Maya's face revealed how she felt uneasy making Lindy's lips twitch.Spencer sensed that Maya tensed body upon seeing Lindy.He stood before her covering Lindy from her sight and said in a gentle voice."My sister doesn't hold a grudge against you. What you did to her was all in the past. She is living happily with her husband and child."
Spencer was nervously pacing back and forth waiting for the arrival of his bride. He checked the time on his wristwatch. Only five minutes left before the wedding starts and the bride had not arrived yet.Seeing his son's anxiety, Frank patted his back. “She isn’t going to abandon you at the altar.”Spencer smiled awkwardly at Frank. “Thanks dad.”Confident in their love, Spencer wasn’t worried that Maya would jilt him at the altar. However, because of the accident, he became paranoid.“The bride has arrived!”The tightness in his chest vanished as soon as he heard that Maya had a
“We’re home, love,” Spencer said when Maya looked around in confusion after being woken up.Marrying a woman that had been pampered since she was born, Spencer wanted to give all the best he could give to Maya. He bought a new penthouse that was just twenty minutes drive from the Speed Incorporated office.“Do you like it?” Spencer asked once they were inside the penthouse.The surest person who knew Maya’s preferences was Emerald thus Spencer mustered his courage to ask Emerald’s help.Maya hugged him and said, “I liked it so much.”“It isn’t as big and as expen
“Esther, have you seen the new CEO?” Betty asked Esther, watching her reaction. Everyone one in their age were smitten by the new CEO.“Yes,” Esther answered gloomily, thinking that her career as an interior designer was going to be buried.Betty’s eyes widened in disbelief.“Esther, he is so handsome! He could beat a lot of actors and models! You are working everyday with a very handsome man!”“So what!” Esther crossed her arms above her breast.So what if he is handsome? She doesn’t care if she’s surrounded by ugly people as long as she can achieve her dream to
“I have a meeting at 2 o’ clock this afternoon, come with me.” His voice sounded cold and stern while his eyes looked at her back tenderly. His reaction was quite a paradox. Without looking at Maverick, she nodded her head and lifted her foot to leave the office. Her hand was on the handle when Maverick said, “Wait for a moment.” She stood still before the door but dared not to turn, lest she would embarrass herself again. She waited for him and was almost tempted to turn and look because he had been quiet for a while. She was nervous when she heard hurried steps coming from behind her. And suddenly she felt something was draped over her shoulders. She looked at it and was surprised that he covered her with a towel.
Wearing high heels hindered Esther from running, soon the perpetrator took hold of her arm.“Help! Help! Help!” Esther screamed at the top of her voice. She was forcibly pulled into a man’s body. She panicked and began to flail.“It’s me!” Esther heard that familiar cold voice that she heard multiple times within the day.“Unhand her!” A man’s voice reverberated not far from them. The man had his car window down while driving and heard a woman screaming for help. He couldn't ignore it and decided to help the poor woman.Esther and Maverick froze as they heard the man’s voice. The time the man arrived before them the lights were on. E
The living room in the Strong Manor was lively when Maverick returned home. Laughter’s imbued the living room as the twins were comically making faces as though they were trying to entertain the adults.“They're so adorable!” Maya giggled as she took a video of the twins.“Troy and Thea, look at aunt Maya,” she called the twins’ attention and they both responded to her, making faces.Theo caught sight of Maverick and said, smiling. “How’s the new CEO doing?”Theo always had a good relationship with his siblings. Maya only acted a brat towards him because of Tracy. She and Tracy were best friends, but Theo broke Tracy’s heart that the
Realizing that she has no right to ask for his explanation, Esther turned to leave Maverick’s office so she could pack her things.“Where are you going?” Maverick asked when she pulled the door open.“I’m going to pack my things, sir,” Esther answered timidly. Just his voice intimidated Esther.Before Esther was abandoned by her parents to her grandparents, she was verbally and physically abused by her parents. And that caused her timid personality. Whenever she detects anger emanating a person she’s terrified. Maverick’s cold voice and gaze makes her feel uneasy.“Come back here when you're done,” Maverick commanded.
