“This is utter nonsense. Is this what people are interested in these days? Reading about people’s love life.” Mr. Henderson, Emily's father, said, as he dropped his phone back on the table.
“Calm down. Think about your health,” Mrs. Henderson, Emily's mother, replied.
“How can I be calm when she has done something that can affect the success of the company? We don’t know who this man is or where is from,”
“That’s not entirely true. We know he is Miller’s illegitimate son. "
They both watched Mr. Henderson walk out of the dining area.“This is the first time I have seen daddy pissed.” Kayla leaned on the table and whispered.Mrs. Henderson said nothing and sipped her coffee.“As if her sleeping around wasn’t bad enough. She had to just marry the illegitimate son of the miller and complicate things for everyone.” Kayla said with a huff and rolled her eyes.Mrs. Henderson drew a breathless sigh and said, “the more reason, you should make sure that your wedding with Tyler happens no matter what. "“Why do you and dad keep saying that? It's not all on me, you know,” Kayla whined.Mrs. Henderson nodded her head as her lips flattened.“Have you tried reaching out to him?” Mrs. Henderson asked.Kayla stared at her mother for a while, then slowly shook her head.“All you do is whine all day. You can’t do anything for yourself except give me a headache.” Mrs. Henderson wrinkled her nose with disapproval.“It's not my fault, mom. Tyler ignored me throughout the fund
“What are you doing here?” Emily said as her expression slid into a frown, alarm bells ringing in her head.“That’s no way to greet your mother,” Mrs. Henderson said, pushing past Emily. Kayla followed suit, bumping into Emily’s shoulder.Emily, nursing her shoulder, had no choice but to follow after them.“I see you have a full house,” Mrs. Henderson commented.“Michael, meet mom and Sister Kayla.”
Logan walked in to see Julie staring out the window. Michael folded his hands and leaned his back on the bookshelf.Logan walked toward Julie and placed a hand on her shoulder.“Hey, Julie, are you alright?” Logan asked.“Don’t ask me if I am alright and just explain to me, how you can marry the person who crippled me and her family thought they could pay me off,” Julie demanded as she shrugged her shoulder away from his hand.“I am curious too” Michael's eyes tightened at the corner.
After walking round the city for a while, she grew tired, but didn't want to go back to the apartment and face Logan. She remembered she had lost her key in her squabble with Jennifer. And Jennifer still had access to the store. So she called the locksmith.“All done, ma’am,” the locksmith informed Emily as he put his tool back into the toolbox.“Thank you,” Emily said as she handed him some money that was in the wallet Logan handed to her.“Make sure not to lose your keys again.”“I will try my best,” Emily h
“You are late,” Logan said. His voice had a savage edge to it.The light in the living room turned on to reveal Logan sitting on one of the couches with his palm pressed together, glaring at her without blinking.Emily's heart lurched. The tone of his voice made her spine stiffen.“What are you doing brooding in the dark? Is your family not enough to keep you company?” Emily said, mocking him.“Where have you been?” Logan demanded.
Emily walked into the living room, wondering why the house was quiet. She assumed Logan might have gone to work while Julie might have stepped out with Logan or, better yet, was still upstairs asleep. But she was shocked to see Julie in the dinning already having breakfast.She turned to go to her room, But Julie saw her.“Morning, Emily,” Julie greeted in a cool, tempered voice.Emily bit her lip and turned back slowly towards Julie. Pasting a smile on her face “morning, didn’t want to disturb your breakfast”“Oh, you are not
“I think we should build a bigger hotel than the one we have in the city. To commemorate this merger,” Mr. Greg, a staff member suggested.“That would be too risky a project to embark on. Why don’t we focus on what we have right now and improve on it?” Mr. Henderson said, his finger stroking his lips in thought.“I agree with him. Right now we should figure out a way to ensure that the hotel and the airline boost each…” Mr. Miller stopped mid-sentence, distracted by the commotion at the entrance of the boardroom.The door burst open, revealing Logan walking into the room while his bodyguard held the company security at bay.Both Mr. Henderson and Mr.
Emily’s eyebrow furrowed as she paced back and forth. She held her hands to her lips and prayed that everything would be alright with Julie.Just then, Logan joined her in the hall. Worry lined Logan's forehead.“Where is she?” Logan demanded“She is receiving treatment. Just waiting for the doctor to tell us if she is okay.”Logan nodded his head. "What happened?”“Well, she had an allergic reaction to the peanut cookie I gave her,” Emily answered.“Julie would never consciously eat peanut cookies because she knows she is allergic to peanuts.&r
