Second Time Around Chapter 21
“What are you doing here?” I asked.Adze was already comfortable sitting on the sofa while Lancelot greeted Enver first and shook his hand before sitting beside him.“As I said, we are here for your proposal,” he said.“But—”“You already have it, right?” He showed his hand in front of me. “Let me see it. I want to know every detail of your plan.”I was hesitant to give it to him so I turned my head to Lancelot and he just nodded I didn't have a choice but to hand him the three folders that contained all the ideas that Raiden will do regarding the deal that we have so Anox will supply their cars here.“Sorry about him being this kind of demanding,” Lancelot said while letting Adze read what was inside the folder. “He was on leave from his work and he is not used to doing nothing so he chose to take care of my work.”“And you are letting him do that?”He nodded and turned his eyes to Adze. “What his mind is his so I don’t mind him getting involved in decision-making for my company.”I
Second Time Around Chapter 22
Since Adze already prepared the contract, we started to study everything that they put there.Well, it is not that we don’t trust them. This is a formal contract that has affiliated with a lot of responsibilities and a lot of money which is why we need to know everything that was written on it.Besides, Adze also advice that to us before they left. He said that he is the one who draft the contract but he is not sure if Lancelot’s secretary puy everything he said.So, it is only natural for us to allocate a lot of time to this one before signing it.“What are they going to do if we lost the deal?” Art asked after I explained to him the temporary partnership between Raiden and Anox.“We are going to pay twenty percent of the original price of each car that we didn’t manage to sell,” I said and showed him the page where it was stated in the contract. “The deal is only ten cars in three months. If we only sold three cars, twenty percent of the total price of the remaining seven cars will

I am currently inside the meeting room together with the department head of Raiden. And they are all busy whispering about the deal that the company had with Anox.Most of them are not agreed with what is happening. They are already thinking that Raiden will lose in this deal even though they haven’t heard the report from the strategic department.And they lost their trust in this deal when they learned that it was my idea and I was the one who prepared the proposal.Some say that I took a reckless move and I didn’t even try to consult the department head of the company. And others are questioning my credibility as Enver’s secretary to make a such move even because they don’t know me and I didn’t do the normal process to become an employee of the company.To be honest, I am getting irritated with what they are saying but I choose not to confront them because it will not help us in this situation.Adze and Lancelot believed that we would be able to pull this through. They trust my word
Second Time Around Chapter 24
Everyone was busy as soon as we started preparing the launch of our new payment method for those people who wanted to buy Raiden’s car.After Enver finished signing the contract that Adze made, I immediately went to the Anox to get Lancelot to sign it. And I don’t know why but I have these feelings that Adze was expecting my arrival because as soon as Lancelot’s secretary opened the door, Adze was standing there while signing me to give the contract to him.“Seriously?” I raised my eyebrows at him. “Do you have a spy in our office?” I handed him the folder.“Yeah.” He started looking at every page of the contract. “It is Dashiel. You know how talkative that one is, right?”I shook my head and sighed.Well, Dashiel is updated on everything that happened at Raiden because he is one of the investors. And just like I promised him, I am sending him a report about the project but I didn’t expect that he will tell them that.“Don’t think too much about that, Miss Escuero,” Adze said. “I just
Second Time Around Chapter 25
We have been busy with the launch of the project and everyone at Raiden is busy with their work since Enver wanted it all done before the day of the launch.And that also includes me.I was in-charged of getting all the papers we needed for the launch since we are doing it in a public venue. Though, I manage to get those permits the easy way at the town and city municipal hall.I accidentally met Castiel at the town municipal hall where she was doing some interviews that she is going to feature in her magazine. And she take advantage of that chance to use her connection so that I could get the permit as soon as possible.So, I came back to the venue before lunch and everyone was still busy preparing.And it looks like they all forgot to take their lunch break because none of them ordered their food which they manage to do for the past few days.I saw Art arrive and I immediately come to him. “Where did you go?”“There are some problems with the delivery that Anox will supply to us.” H
Second Time Around Chapter 26
When we arrived at the warehouse of Anox, I immediately saw Enver.He was sitting on the hood of his car while staring at his phone. And it showed on his face that he has a big problem that is why I run out of the car and went to him.“What happened here?”He looked at me and I can see his deep sadness. “I think I messed up.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”“I think I forgot to inform the city customs about the delivery that Anox will make today,” he said. “It is a standard procedure whenever a car manufacturer will take out their cars in their warehouse to ensure that we are taking the right product and there are no illegal things that involve in the transactions.”That procedure will just act as precautions for both parties because there are a lot of incidents before where some car companies are using their car product to transport illegal substances and the dealer didn’t know anything about that so when there was an inspection at the checkpoint near the area where they are going to
Second Time Around Chapter 27
“He messed up?” Ferry was shocked to hear that news from me.After the inspection of the city customs earlier at the warehouse of Anox, Adze arrived and ordered the release of the products that needed to be delivered to the venue. Even though the rules said that it should be delivered twenty-four hours after the inspection.But he took care of the negotiation and they made an agreement which is why we managed to take those products and secured their delivery.After that, Enver ordered me to go home and rest. Art can take care of other things that need to be done.I didn’t refuse that offer since I have been taking care of a lot of papers earlier at different locations. My feet are getting sore and I think I need to rest for the whole night so I have full energy for tomorrow’s event.Millie doesn’t want to eat without me so I had to cook some dinner for us as soon as I arrived at my house. And while doing that, I decided to call Ferry and Castiel to tell them what happened earlier.“Ye
Second Time Around Chapter 28
This is it!I already checked everything around the venue. Every guest that we invited was already outside and waiting for our opening. Media that will cover the whole event are also on standby. And of course, the food for guests was also prepared.I made sure that everything is in place, especially our display.We are just waiting for the exact time to start the event when we are launching the partnership between Raiden and Anox, the cars that we have in our displays, and the new method that customers can use in case they can’t afford to buy the cars in cash.“I am nervous,” Art said. He kept walking back and forth as he looked around. “I didn’t expect that there would be a lot of people here.”“Well, I gave an invitation to all the people that are related to Raiden,” I said. “And of course, I also make sure that all the executives and investors are here because there are media who will cover everything that will happen in this event.”“Really?” he asked and I nodded.“And Castiel, m

“How long do we have to walk like this?” I asked Ferry and Castiel while guiding me as I walked with blindfolds in my eyes. They told me earlier that they had a surprise for me so I had to keep it like this until we arrived at our destination.I just got from Amethyst’s parents and I talked to them about what we can do to help her in facing her situation. They are also worried about the future of their daughter so they decided to cooperate with me after ensuring that the process will never hurt her.After we discussed that, my friends picked me up and drove away. Before we could even arrive at our destination, they put this blindfold on me.“We are getting close so please relax there,” Ferry said.“But we have been like this for hours,” I complained. “Why did you even think of giving a sudden surprise?”“It is not our idea,” Castiel said. “Though we chipped in some ideas we were not the mastermind of this. It was your husband who proposed this surprise for you.”“I guess he took advan

I never really imagined that this kind of thing would happen right in front of my eyes. When I was here, together with Enver’s family. Having a nice and chill conversation with them, without pretending that they like me.For the first time, I feel like I am part of this family and they finally accepted me as their son’s wife.After we finished our dinner, we decided to continue our conversation in the living room. We took our drinks with us and I offered them to stay here for tonight because I know that they also want to catch up with Enver.Ferry went home a little while ago. Lainz didn't want her to stay late so he went here to pick her up. Castiel decided not to join us here to give us more time to be with each other and she went upstairs to sleep in one of the guest rooms I prepared for her.Enver and I were having a conversation with his siblings, while his parents were busy with Millie and they were unwrapping their gifts for her.“What?” Enver said to his siblings. “Enish divor
Second Time Around Chapter 75
I thought Enver would refuse to have a talk with his family to settle their issue. But that didn’t happen and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw him guiding them in the garden where they were going to talk.Millie and I started preparing the dining table because we would eat our dinner after their conversation.“Eh? Seriously?” Ferry said after Castiel told her that my in-laws said sorry to me. “Are they even sincere?” She looked at me. “Not just some scheme because they are afraid to upset you because they know that you have the power to forbid them from approaching Millie again.”“That is the first thing that came to my mind earlier.” I put a plate full of kiwi with a side sauce of spicy ketchup in front of her. This is what she has been craving for ever since she got pregnant. “It feels like they were sincere. And Erwin vouch for that.”“Oh well,” Castiel said. “It doesn’t really matter now if they were sincere or not. They already experienced such shame because of their evil sch

“Are you even breathing?” Castiel whispered to me while we were looking at the car that stopped in front of our house. “You don’t have to be nervous, right? They were just your in-laws.”I glared at her. “I am not nervous.” I rolled my eyes. “I am just composing myself to avoid the awkwardness that we might feel later.” I turned my attention to the car when Enver opened it.He was the one who greeted our guest outside the gate. Ferry stayed inside while Castiel and I stood in front of the door, together with Millie who was holding my hand.Don Emil and Madame Venice came out of the car, with their usual posture. Well, I guess not a lot of people can change after a long time.They were carrying a lot of paper bags, marked with luxury brands, and I think it contained toys that they were going to give to Millie.She chuckled. “If you say so,” she said. “But I didn’t expect that they would also bring two of Enver’s siblings.” We both turned our eyes to the other car that just arrived and

I locked myself inside the bathroom while looking at the five pregnancy test kits that Castiel bought earlier.I already got its result and it all showed the same thing. And I am overwhelmed with the emotions that I am feeling right now.I do have a plan to conceive another child if Enver agrees because I really want Millie to have a sibling. But I didn’t expect that heaven would immediately answer my desire.Yes, I am pregnant. The five test kits in front of me showed positive signs.“Milan!” Ferry shouted outside the door. “Your husband is here. And your maids already told him that you have been locking yourself up inside there. So, don’t be shocked if he tries to destroy this door.”I grabbed two of the test kits and opened the door. At the same time, Enver also entered the room with concern in his eyes.“What is happening here?” he asked. He came to me but before he could hold me, I immediately showed him the result of the one test kit.He frowned as he looked at that but didn’t s

“Mommy!”I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Millie jumping on top of our bed while calling me.“Wake up, Mommy! It is already morning.” She stopped jumping when she saw that I was already awake and she sat beside me. “Good morning, my beautiful mommy.” She kissed my cheeks. “Daddy is preparing our breakfast.”I smiled and pulled her closer to me. “Let’s sleep some more, baby.” I kissed her neck and tickled her side which made her laugh.“Mom! Don’t tickle me!” She tried to get away from me but I hugged her tight so she couldn't do anything but laugh. “Mommy! Please stop!”“Hey…”I stopped tickling Millie and we both turned our heads at the door. We saw Enver entering the room with a tray full of food in his hand. We immediately got up and took the pillow out of his way.“Breakfast in bed for my lovely ladies.” He put the tray in bed and kissed Millie and my forehead. “Let’s eat here so you don’t have to get up.”“Well, I am still sleepy but this little lady woke me up to have breakfast
Second Time Around Chapter 71
Everyone was happy after our vacation. And I can see that it lifted everyone’s spirit as we came back to our work. It really helped us to refresh our mind and body so I was thinking of making it an annual tradition.Our workload is also back to normal. We are not on a hectic schedule anymore so it is also normal that everyone is relaxing at their station.Mikea was taking care of the fourth branch and other errands that needed to be done outside while I was taking care of the paperwork that Enver needed to sign.We decided to switch jobs so she could learn more things about the industry and everything she needed to learn about Raiden. She said that it would help her grow more and become a more reliable secretary.And it is not really a problem for me. Actually, it is more in favor of my side since if I file on leave, she can work even though she is alone. I don’t have to worry about her as she can handle her work as Enver’s secretary.“You are filling a leave?” Mikea frowned after see
Second Time Around Chapter 70
After a while, we decided to go back to Millie and our friends. I am already feeling alright so I think we can’t let this vacation go to waste just because of me.Millie immediately approached us as soon as she saw us. She ambushed us with a tight hug and I know that it is her way of saying that she is worried about me.So, I gave her a lot of kisses to let her know that I was okay.Enver lifted her and brought her to the seaside and played with the other kids and guys there. And I went to Ferry and Castiel who were only sitting in the sun lounge.“Did you tell him everything?” Ferry asked me.I sat beside them and shook my head. “I just told him the minor details.” I fixed my eyes on Enver and Millie while playing in the sea. “Not that I don’t want to tell him but my headache keeps attacking me whenever I dive too deep into my memories of that incident.” I sighed and turned my head to them. “And because of that, he stopped asking and didn’t force me to say anything else. So, I just s
Second Time Around Chapter 69
Enver lifted me and laid me down in our bed. He said that I should just rest and stopped me from going back downstairs since Millie would surely be okay together with Ferry and Castiel.I didn’t complain because I know that I really need some time to rest. I almost passed out earlier because of my headache and I can’t just ignore it.“Are you sure you are okay?” Enver asked after giving me a glass of water. “We can go to the resort’s infirmary.”I shook my head and drank the water before giving it back to him. “I just need a few minutes rest and I will be perfectly fine.”He sighed and sat beside me. “I am sorry for bringing it up. I didn’t expect that this would happen to you.”“It is okay,” I assure him. “You have the right to know about this because it is part of my past. I just can’t really tell it to you in detail because I keep getting a headache from trying to remember everything.”“Don’t worry about that, Mi.” He caressed my cheeks. “Just rest.”“If you want to know the detail
