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

I can’t help but feel relief as soon as the program that we prepared finally ended.And as of now, everyone is now enjoying the food and drinks that we served, as well as the Anox cars that we put on our display around the area.I can see on their face that they love seeing the new achievements that Raiden got. And they are going to give their full support for it.Raiden’s executives and investors are also pleased and I think the next time I lay out another plan or idea to them, it will not be hard for me to get their approval, especially if I can just show them that this is for the good of their company.And overall, this is a successful launch.“You are the one behind all of this, right?”I turned my back and saw one of the executives of Raiden. “Mister Viella.”He was just looking at me and to be honest, I don’t know how to act in front of him so I just averted my eyes from him.“You should greet me first, Milan,” he said and that made me turn my eyes on him again and this time, he

The whole event finally ended.And when all of the visitors were gone, Enver said that we will have an after-party for all the employees of Raiden. To appreciate all their non-stop effort for the whole week and the celebration of the success of our launch.Since I know am aware of this plan, I already reserved the nearest bar in the venue. I told them to go there and just say my name to the bar owner who I am sure is waiting for us.“You are a hell of a secretary,” Lucien said when he finally entered the bar. “As far as I know, this after-party is Enver’s surprise for the employees yet you manage to reserve this bar just for us ahead of time.”I smiled. “Let’s just say, I know how a boss like Enver thinks.” I slightly pushed him so he will get inside the bar since I still needs to stay here at the entrance of the bar together with the bouncer. I just need to secure that only Raiden employees will enter here at this hour.Well, aside from them, some of the executives decided to come wi

“I still can't believe that the two of you are husband and wife,” Adze said while pointing at me and Enver.I also gave an invitation to them for the event earlier since they are also part of that but they said that they already had a personal plan so I just told them to at least attend the after-party.And we hadn't had enough drinks when they arrived so they just joined our table.Though, Lucien, Simon, and Gavin already left after staying for an only half-hour here since they still have work for tomorrow. Other employees also went home so the place is not that crowded anymore.“Correction, Adze,” I said. “Ex-husband and wife. We were already divorced and moved on from our lives.” I think I drank more than I imagined because I don’t want to say that but I couldn’t stop myself.“Really?” he asked.I nodded. “I filed for divorce and let the ferry deliver it to Enver. She is also the one who finalized it at the court.”“Oh.” He nodded. “Does it mean that you are single?”I nodded. “Sin

A massive headache greeted me as soon as I woke up. And I immediately got up as soon as I saw that I just slept on the sofa.“Oh,” you are already awake,” Millie said. She is standing at the doorway of the kitchen wearing her pink apron. “Good morning, Mommy. Breakfast will be served in ten minutes so please wash your face.”“You cook?”She shook her head and pointed at Mikea who had just got out of the kitchen. “She is here with us all night.”My eyes widened. “What?”“Just wash your face first, Milan,” Mikea said. “I will prepare our breakfast.”I stood up and went inside the bathroom. And that is when I realize that I haven’t changed my clothes. I still wore the same clothes that I used yesterday.I shook my head and decided to change into comfortable clothes since I don’t have to go to work today. Then, I washed my face and after that, I got out of the bathroom.Millie helped Mikea set the table when I got into the dining room so I just sat down.“So? What happened last night?” I

“We have a lot of complaints,” Art put a lot of folders on my table. “And most of them came from our customers.”I didn’t bother to take a look at that folder because I have an idea about its content. And I also didn’t bother to turn my attention to Art and I just stayed looking at my computer. “Just give it to Sir Enver,” I said. “And give a copy to Lucien.”“You are not going to do anything about it?”I sighed and this time, I turned to him. “We have to know Sir Enver and Lucien’s opinion first, Art. And if they can’t find a solution for themselves, then that is when we are going to do something, okay?”Well, I don’t want them to become too dependent on me when it comes to every problem that Raiden faces. Yes, I can do something about the complaint and make sure to stop it but if I am the one who moves, it is not going to be good at Raiden and Enver.They have to remember that I am only here for three months so they can’t count on me for everything.“Oh, right.” He took the folder a

Enver took care of the complaints in his shop while I went to a friend who owns a detective agency. And to be honest, I am not sure if I can convince that one to help me since I know that he is also mad at me.“Ahm, Miss…” I called the receptionist as soon as I reached the floor where my friend’s office was.She looked at me and smiled. “Hi, ma’am. How may I help you?”“Ahm…” I cleared my throat. “I don’t have an appointment but I was wondering if I may speak with Mister Lainz. Just tell him my name.” I put my business card in front of her and she immediately took it.“He doesn’t have anything to do as of this moment but I am not sure if he will entertain you,” she said. “He told me earlier not to disturb him. But I will try.” She took the phone and called the office. And after some time, she looked at me while still in the line. “Ma’am, Mister Lainz said he doesn’t know anyone named Milan Escuero.”I sighed. I am not sure if he is teasing me or if he just doesn't want to face me.I t

“No! I want a high-end Anox car!” That scream greeted me as soon as I entered Raiden’s shop. There is a commotion beside the counter where Enver was still talking with an old woman. And from what I heard I think she is one of the customers that keep insisting on buying Anox cars even though we have a policy regarding that specific car.“Are you not ashamed of what you are doing?” the old woman said. “I am one of your regular customers here, right? Every time you launch a new model or brand of car, I am one of the first customers who buy it to support you. But what the hell are you doing now?”“Madam, we appreciate your support to our company,” Enver said with a calm voice, though I can see in his eyes that his patience is at its limit. “We really do. But those high-end Anox cars are here for a purpose. We cannot sell it to you. I am sorry—”“Shut up!” she screamed again. “I don’t care about any of that. I already said what I want and you will give it to me right now!”“What is happen

“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

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

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
