Second Time Around Chapter 33
“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

“You have been working for me for almost a month but this is the first time you invited me to have some snacks with you,” Enver said while we are eating the food that he bought from a fast food chain.And since he bought too much, we were unable to set it inside his car so we decided to stop by at the nearest park to eat all of it.“Are you starting to get comfortable with me around you?”“You know that I am just being professional when I am working with you,” I said. “And I am just hungry and you are already with me so I invited you.”“So, you are still not comfortable with me around?”I shook my head. “Let’s just be honest with each other, okay?” I faced him. “You are my ex-husband who cheated on me. And I am your ex-wife who just left you without even saying goodbye. Five years later, we just happened to meet again without any warning and since then, we have only focused on working on this project. Do you even think that it is that easy to get comfortable with you?”“Then, do you w

“No!” Mikea firmly said after her sister explained the reason why she went to Raiden.When she arrived, we immediately entered Enver’s office and we let them talk to each other first. We don’t want to meddle for now, especially when it is a family affair.It might anger Mikea even though we just want to help.So, we decided to hear them out first and let Michaella talk about all her reasons why she keeps insisting on working. At the same time, let Mikea talk about why she keeps stopping her sister to work.“Dad already talked to you, right? You can’t work as long as you are still studying,” Mikea added. “Why don’t you just listen?”“Because I can see that you are struggling with the problem that I created,” Michaella answered. “It is my fault that Mom got a heart attack. So, why don’t you just let me help? At least lift this guilt that I am feeling for putting her there.”“You are a graduating student now, Micha. What if you neglect your study because of the job that you are insisting
Second Time Around Chapter 38
“Milan!” Enver greeted me as soon as I entered his office. He is holding a folder and he looks happy so I think he received good news. “Milan!”“W-what is the matter?” I asked. And I didn’t manage to resist when he suddenly hugged me tight. “S-sir Enver?”He immediately realized what he did and let go of me. “So-sorry about that.”Shit! I can’t believe he just hugged me. And I can't believe that I miss that hug.I cleared my throat and faced him. “W-what happened?”I went inside his office and closed the door because a lot of gossipers that saw Enver hugging me were starting to gather outside.“Look at this.” He gave me the folder that he is holding.And I opened it.“The main branch said that they already sell four of the high-end Anox cars,” he said. “And it is made through the promotion that we just discussed with Mikea and her sister last week.”“Oh my god!” I covered my mouth to stop myself from screaming.I didn’t expect that within just a week, we will be able to sell four of o

As much as possible, I tried to work in silence. And to make sure of that, I never let myself stay in the same room as Enver.And whenever there are jobs that need to work outside the office, I immediately volunteered to do that just to get away from him.Yes, I won’t deny it. I am happy to be with him again. It is nice to see and be with him again after five years.But whenever I stared at him, I suddenly remembered everything that happened before. The cheating. The lies. Those times when he went home late and drunk.It was too painful for me to keep remembering those times.So, for the sake of our job, I decided to distance myself from him.“You are avoiding him.”I almost fell from the chair when Ferry and Castiel suddenly appeared in front of me. “W-what the hell?” I roamed my eyes around and saw Dashiel at the counter. “He called you?” I turned my eyes back at them.Since I don’t really have anything to do at the office, I told Enver that I would take a half-day from work today a

“Good morning!” Art happily greeted me as soon as I got into our office.I smiled at him and that actually shocked him.“Woah,” he said. “I guess you woke up on the right side of the bed.”I put my things on the table and looked at him. “Well, I had a great time last night.”Ferry and Castiel got totally drunk last night. And as I planned, I managed to avoid getting drunk like them. I just stick to drinking two glasses of wine, juice, and lots of food.While my two friends decided to get wasted. They even added another batch of alcohol as soon as their first order finished. And as a result of that, they couldn’t even walk on their own when I invited them to get home.They even gave me trouble on whether I would bring them to their home but in the end, I chose to just bring them to my house. It is already late and I am sure Millie is waiting for me to get home.So, I just let them sleep in my room while Millie and I slept in my living area.And to pay for all the trouble they caused me

“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
