2023-07-06 00:02:03Believing that what was in the past will remain in the past, Emerald dismissed the idea of asking Clayton. Moreover, she was willing to take a chance with Clayton.
The uneasiness in her heart let up when Clayton called late in the afternoon."Babe, how are you?" Clayton asked."I'm doing good, are you having your rest?" Emerald asked."I had just come back from a series of meetings," Clayton said as he looked at their picture on his desk."Did you have lunch?" Emerald was worried that he skipped lunch. Clayton was silent and didn't dare to lie to her. "Babe, I told you not to skip lunch even how busy you are.""That's why I'm asking you to work here in my office so you can be here to remind me," Clayton replied."No need for me to work there, I'll just send Mr Hodge to bring you lunch and he'll also be watching you finish your meals."Clayton chuckled as he felt heRelated chapters
Relentless Pursuit of His Lost Love Chapter 44 - Slapped with Reality
If she didn't barge into the room, what would have happened?Slapped with reality on the face, Emerald regretted coming into Clayton's office. All color from Clayton's face faded in an instant leaving his face as white as a sheet. Tongue - tied and aghast, Clayton couldn't make a sound to utter her name. Despite the difficulty in breathing brought by her stuffy chest, Emerald was able to steadily strode away from Clayton's office and went straight into the elevator. Despite that she was reeling from she had just seen, Emerald managed to strode away without staggering and entered the elevator. Charlotte seized Clayton's waist just as he was about to go after Emerald and locked him up in her arms. "Let go," Clayton snarled but Charlotte was adamant to have him stay, she tiptoed to kiss him. "Don't blame me for being rude," Clayton extricated himself and threw Charlotted away. She was like a paper that flew from across the room. Charlotte screamed painfully as she landed on the co

Dejectedly, Clayton drove back to his mansion. It was already midnight when he arrived. Clayton lay on the bed sniffing Emerald's lingering scent. "Baby, come back," he hugged her pillow and sniffed it. "I was wrong." Clayton lay on the bed wide awake until morning. He couldn't sleep a wink thinking how to track Emerald again.He was afraid that this time, their paths would never cross again. Again, first thing in the morning, he called Emerald but his call was unanswered. He decided to send her a message. [Babe, please come back. Please talk to me. I don't know how my life would look without you, baby.] Clayton was praying that Emerald would read it and agree to talk with him. A message from Constantine arrived after he sent his message. [Red was spotted rushing to the Westfield Medical Center with an unconscious woman in his arms the night before.] Constantine sent him the photo. Clayton bolted out of the mansion and drove off to the hospital. Just as Red came out of the

"Go back to your work. Remember that you are given a limited time to fix it. The president won't be lenient to you." Constantine said, dispersing them to stop the gossip. Inside Clayton's office, the man was holding his phone and smiling. Like a school boy reading his conversation with his crush, Clayton re- read his and Emerald's conversation, smiling.He thought he could use this to coax her to come back and forgive him. [Babe, I've been thinking about you. I was in a bad mood, scolding almost all department heads because I badly missed you. Baby, I love you] Clayton had no idea that Emerald had already blacklisted his number. And his messages will remain unread. Clayton set aside his phone and began working.***In Kregger at Strong's mansion. Wallace Strong and Giovanni Kingston were having tea. "Your grandson is a capable man. He's the best candidate to be my grandson - in - law." Giovanni Kingston said. It wasn't a secret in Westfield how Clayton had established a footing

Hearing that familiar voice, Emerald froze and halted. One part of her wanted to look at him but the other part refused to do so. "Are you having doubts?" Red whispered. Emerald pacified her troubled emotion, lifted her legs to walk into the jetway leading to the aircraft. "Emerald! Don't leave, baby!" She heard the anguish in his voice, but she toughened herself lest he will have the upper hand again. "Sir, please don't shout here. The passengers are complaining," The guard who accompanied Clayton said. Clayton nodded and didn't create any noise. He simply watched Emerald disappear into the jetway.Still hoping that Emerald will change her mind at the last minute, Clayton remained at the boarding gate and left only when the airplane took off. *** "Did the lawyer find any loophole in the contract?" Clayton asked. "There are no loopholes

"Come in, " Caroline said to Clayton and they walked into the living room. In an instant Jim's mood sombered seeing Clayton and he spat coldly, "Emerald isn't here. And even if she's here she won't see you." "I'm here to talk to you," Clayton responded "There's nothing to talk to," Jim scowled at Clayton. He couldn't believe that Clayton was so thick-skinned to show his face after what he had done. "You still have the audacity to come and see me," Jim growled. Remembering how Emerald cried as she retold everything that happened made Jim's blood boil. "Get out of my house!" Jim yelled."Love, calm down!" Caroline stroked Jim's arm. "Let's hear his explanation. Remember what happened between us? Do you want Emerald to miss what we have missed for years?" Jim's rationale came back after being enlightened by Caroline. "Explain!"

Red hugged Emerald. "What happened?" "Red, take me inside," Emerald was trembling all over and her knees gave way. Helplessly, Clayton watched Red carry Emerald in his arms while Emerald delicately wrapped her arms around Red's neck. He gritted his teeth as a pang of jealousy pricked his heart. Anxious about Emerald, Clayton braced himself and followed them. "What happened?" He heard Jim and Caroline's worried tone. "Bring her to her room!" Jim said and eyed Clayton. "See what you have done to her!" Jim climbed the stairs to check on Emerald. Caroline looked at Clayton. "I'm sorry Mr Strong." "Just call me Clayton," Clayton smiled faintly and looked up. "With Emerald's condition, agitating Jim would do you no good. Believe me, apart from me and our son, he treasures Emerald." Caroline spoke softly. "I know," Clayton repl

"I don't want my wife's effort wasted."Clayton looked at Caroline and she nodded with a faint smile and looked at Jim.Jim leaned sideways and whispered to Caroline.

“Dad!” Maya pouted while Spencer chuckled. He’s used to the father and daughter’s antics. Clayton ignored Maya’s protest and talked to his granddaughter. “And don’t take your grandma and mother’s love for extreme sports.” Clayton looked at Spencer. “Make sure that your daughter won’t get involved in any extreme sports.” “Yes, dad.” Spencer nodded. He too didn’t want his daughter to take a liking to extreme sports. He would surely have a heart attack. “Are you going to make her life dull? No hobby? Just study and take over a company?” Emerald asked in a teasing tone. “Of course not, just no dangerous sports. There are sports that aren’t life threatening. She can choose from those. I can’t teach her to play golf when she grows up.” “That’s a great idea, dad.” Spencer agreed and added. “Maya and I also planned to enroll her for piano, dance and art lessons.” “Really?” Clayton was excited. Clayton wants diversity in their family. He wanted his grandchildren to have different hobbie
Relentless Pursuit of His Lost Love Chapter 181 - Elephant in the Room
Zoey bit her lips. The feeling she had for Maurice was an elephant in the room that she was unwilling to face. Maurice was in a relationship and Zoey didn’t want to be the third party, destroying a relationship. Ignoring her feelings for the man would eventually kill it. That was the reason she didn’t want to admit to herself that she had fallen for the man. “Do you like me, Zoey?” Maurice’s voice was so gentle that it touched Zoey’s heart. Despite knowing that Maurice was currently free and had no girlfriend, she had no courage to confess. “If you say you don’t like me. I will tell mom and ask her to search for another woman that wants to be with me. I don’t want to force you into this relationship, Zoey. I won’t bother you again. ” Zoey's heart thumped painfully in her chest. Just the thought of losing Maurice to another woman was tearing her heart to pieces. “Do you like me, Zoey?” Maurice repeated his question a while ago. “How about you, Maurice?” Zoey asked with teary eyes.

Zoey bit her lips as her entire body and heart turned cold. “Sir, I’m not making an excuse. My phone and wallet had been stolen.” Zoey’s distressed look moved Emerald’s heart. She can’t just watch at the sideline and do nothing to help her. She couldn’t help but imagine her own daughter. What if her daughter, Maya was the one in this situation? Of course, she wanted someone to step in and intervene to help her daughter out of her predicament. “I’ll foot the bill,” Emerald passed on her black card to the server. Grateful that a good samaritan had stepped in to help her, Zoey stood up and bowed several times and unceasingly said, “Thank you.” She was in a foreign land without her phone and any money. If this kind hearted person didn’t take the initiative to help her, she couldn’t imagine what would have happened to her. She didn’t know if justice prevailed in this nation. “Come with us,” Emerald said in a soft voice. Since she had started helping her, she will follow through a

“Ms Desmond,” the man called out, his voice having an edge of huskiness. Recognizing the man, Zoey nodded and said, “Mr Fuller.” Jonathan Fuller was the president of the company that hosted the event. The event was exceptional and everything went well and beyond what he had expected. Since taking his father’s position, this was the first time that he hosted such a big event. He got curious about who was the event specialist that handled their event so well. His assistant took Zoey to meet Jonathan before the event concluded. Jonathan was smitten by the woman’s beauty and grace. “Get in the car. I’ll drive you home.” Confident that Jonathan wasn’t a pervert, Zoey didn’t refuse and hopped into the car. It was almost one in the morning when they arrived at Zoey’s apartment building. Zoey could not unbuckle her seat belt and Jonathan volunteered to help her. Not far from them, Maurice saw everything. From his vantage point it seemed that the man and woman in the sports car were

Zoey was snapped back from her own world and remembered that she wasn’t alone in the living room. She sat on the couch still hugging, Chubby the giant chubby penguin. Having no idea what to talk to, Zoey said nothing. Exhausted from the long journey, Zoey could not stop her eyes from closing when she was hugging the plushy. Maurice observed the sleeping woman, her eyebrows were drawn to a frown and her mouth slightly parted. But it didn’t lessen her beauty to a tiniest bit. “Here you go,” Trina served the hot chocolate drink. One for Maurice and one for Zoey. Trina smiled sheepishly at Maurice. “Zoey, sweetie.” Trina tried to wake Zoey by pulling the plushy away from her. “Mom, no, don’t take away Chubby from me. I missed him so much, I haven’t hugged him for two weeks,” Zoey murmured while she hugged Chubby tighter. Something flashed across Maurice's eyes while listening to Zoey. He took a sip on the hot chocolate while his eyes never left the woman who was mumbling in

Zoey felt Maurice’s body turned rigid. She bit her lips and wished that Maurice would go along with her. The man beside her looked down on her with an unreadable expression, and Zoey gave him a pleading eyes to act along with her. Zoey’s heart thumped strongly, banging her ribcage as she waited for Maurice. “Let’s go,” Maurice said indifferently and guided Zoey to his car. He opened the passenger seat and protected Zoey’s head from hitting the car frame. It was quite a romantic gesture that crushed Nick’s sliver of hope. Inside the car, Zoey fiddled the strap of her handbag, guiltily. “I’m sorry for using you Mr Strong. Please tell me how do I compensate you?” Zoey said but Maurice remained silent. Zoey felt goosebumps covered her entire body at the eerie silence that enveloped the car. “You can compensate me by making a plan for a marriage proposal.” Maverick spoke after an undetermined time of silence. “You have a girlfriend?” Zoey exclaimed in shock and added, quickly. “

Maurice pressed his lips into a thin line, waiting for Zoey to react and decline Tracy’s proposal. Caught unawares, Zoey's mind went haywire and she couldn’t form a word to refuse the idea. She swallowed several times to moisten her dry throat. Seeing that she wasn’t refusing the idea, Maurice frowned and said. “Her apartment is in the opposite direction to the manor. I have to go to bed early.” At this time, Zoey already recovered from her surprise, nodded in agreement and said, “It’s still early, taking a cab isn’t dangerous and I have learned some self - defense. So you don’t have to worry about me.” “Ten o’ clock is already late. Maurice, do me a favor. Drive Zoey to her apartment.” Theo spoke this time, he knew that Maurice would not refuse him. Maurice's hand that was in his pocket balled into a fist. “Please, don’t worry about me. I’m used to taking cabs.” Zoey was telling the truth. Before she managed to buy a second hand car, Zoey used to take cabs even in the dead

“Congratulations, Mr Strong and Ms Wagner,” Zoey said when she was near them. Maverick and Esther, shook hands with Zoey. On the other hand, Maurice who was near them took his phone and pretended to check on his messages.“You did a great job, Ms Desmond,” Maverick gave her two thumbs up. “Thanks Mr Strong but I only managed to come up with that idea because of the information you gave to me about Ms Wagner.” Zoey didn’t want to take all the credits. With clients' willingness to give her an input she was able to come up with such ideas. “By the way, Ms Desmond, I will introduce you to my siblings and in - laws, who knows, perhaps they will be your clients soon. That man wearing a black suit with gold tie is Theo, my eldest brother and his wife, Tracy. Next to her is my sister, Maya. Well we are triplets, and Maurice is my identical twin. Next to Maya is her husband, Spencer. And also the one seated on Maurice’s left side is Esther's best friend, Betty with her boyfriend, Rex.” Zoe

Although she had made a decision to let her know that she saw Maverick leaving the hotel with a beautiful woman, she found it hard to begin. “What? Cat got your tongue?” Esther teased her to alleviate the tense atmosphere. Betty swallowed before opening her mouth to speak but the phone atop her desk rang, stopping her from disclosing what she saw. She picked up the handset. “Come to my office,” Betty heard the familiar voice and her body went straight like a ramrod. “Okay sir,” Betty answered and she looked at Esther while putting down the handset. “I’ll talk to you later, the boss wants me to report to his office.” “Okay,” Esther sighed. Meanwhile in his office, Maverick was tapping his fingers on his table as he waited for Betty. “Come in,” he said as the first knock. “Betty, I need your help,” Maverick said as soon as he saw Betty enter the office. Betty couldn't help but frown, she couldn’t forget that he and a woman got into the same car, leaving the hotel. B
