Chapter 5

"S..am how have you been these years?" Looking at Sam who didn't seem to change at all except for her unfathomable eyes, Stefan was overwhelmed with emotions as he stuttered.

With a slight smile, Sam replied, "As you can see I am doing okay. Thanks for asking!"

"Stefan!" When Ashley saw the brimming joy and excitement in Stefan's eyes while he stared at Sam, she almost pushed them apart but she restrained herself. Instead, she walked over and reached her hand to hold Stefan's hand with a grin while saying to Samantha, "Sam, you came back in time because next week Friday will be put engagement ceremony. You will be there right? By the way, Stefan is here with me today to buy our engagement ring"

"Ashley, why are you bringing this up?" Looking as Ashley, Stefan pulled a long face.

"I...."

"Congratulations! Since we met at the right time, I will definitely attend it" Without giving Ashley any chance to mock her again, Sam quickly interrupted her.

After that, she carried her things and strode away with Bonnie

.....

"It seems that Stefan still can't replace you. Even though you dressed so tastelessly, see the way he held your hand so tight" On the way back home, Bonnie joked with Samantha. They were both sitting at the back seat of a taxi car.

As Sam stared at the neon lights outside the window, she was so lost in thoughts but when she heard Bonnie's words, she could not help but smile bitterly, "So what?"

"So what?" Bonnie's voice erupted like volcano as she quickly glanced at Sam to continue, "As long you as you still want him, you can easily snatch him from that malicious bitchy half sister of yours"

Smiling, Samantha lowered her head, "The fact that I gave birth to someone's child is a huge stain in both his mind and my mind. Even if he can accept me, we can never go back to the past and be without any grudges"

Since Bonnie knows everything about her, she doesn't need to hide anything.

"But you only did it because you had no choice! Stop being hard an yourself."

 "Regardlessly, it's still a fact that I gave birth to someone's else child "

With a snort, Bonnie replied, "The people in your family are jerks"

Leaning against the back seat, Sam smiled without saying anything.

"It's obvious that you and Stefan still have feelings for each other. Why should you give him to your sister, that whore?" After a moment if silence, Bonnie asked unhappily.

Smiling, Sam replied with a smile, "Perhaps, we are each other's first love, so we are reluctant to severe ties but we don't love each other anymore"

At least, her love for him had faded.

Bonnie pouted her lips, "You're right. You shouldn't settle for someone like him. With your beauty and talents, you will surely find someone who is a hundred or even a thousand better than that son of a bitch!"

Looking at Bonnie, Sam raised her brows, "What if I can't find that person?"

"It's okay if you can't find him, we can spend the rest of our lives together. You will be the woman and I will be the man. What do you think? "

Feeling helpless, Sam asked, "Can't I be the man?"

That made Bonnie burst out laughing. Sam joined her. She is just starting to get her life back together, she vowed not to let anything ruin in.

Her job in the President's mansion is so precious.

"I need focus..."

.......

In tbe underground of the shopping mall, Stefan was walking forward with big strides while Ashley trotted behind to catch up.

"Stefan why are you leaving me?"

Without even looking back, Stefan replied coldly, "Go back by yourself. I have meaningful things to do "

Ashley grabbed his wrist, "I don't have a car"

"Take a taxi then" While giving her an annoyed glance, he indifferently replied and snatched his hand, his voice filled with anger.

Shuddering in fear of losing him, she looked at him and asked uneasily in a soft voice, "Are you angry at me? Is it because of my sister?"

For some reasons, Stefan grew annoyed all of a sudden, and it almost drove him crazy.

After giving Ashley another cold glance, he got into his car silently. Then he slammed the door and started the engine. Without giving Ashley a chance to hop in, he stepped on the accelerator and zoomed off.

Watching the racecar sped off from her sight, Ashley was so chafed that she kept on stamping her feet on the ground.

"Samantha, you bitch! Why did you come back at this time!"

...... .......

(Next day.)

Samantha woke up at the first taste of the dawn. It was her first day at work and she wants to leave a good impression.

"You even have a dress code, woah!" Bonnie squeaked as she watched her rack her wardrobe.

"Why don't you wear that? I mean you can look cooperate and sexy at the same time" Bonnie pointed.

Her words made Sam to remember the little kid she felt familiar with and the words he said to her.

"Hey, you are new here. Why are you dressed so old fashioned? It's extremely unattractive".

Thinking of these words, Samantha finally allowed Bonnie to pick her outfit.

"How do you see it?"

Samantha walked to the front of the mirror. She look nice. The pencil skirt was above her knees and the top was a beautiful one with floral designs.

"The dress is simple. Simple enough to pull heads. And you don't need those black glasses. Put them back" Bonnie smirked.

Sam smiled and pulled Bonnie into a hug, "I don't know what I could have done without you" Her eyes were misty.

"Hey, stop getting emotional. Remember it's the President's mansion...don't forget... Focus" Bonnie hinted.

"Sure." 

......

Sam arrived at the mansion quiet early. It was easy for her since she had been shown around already.

"You're early" Mrs Peterson commended her.

"That's good. I'm sure you didn't have breakfast before coming. You can quickly have it before work starts"

"You're so kind, Mrs Peterson" Sam smiled lightly and settled in the workers quarters.

She quickly found a quiet place to enjoy her breakfast.

However, just after she has had a few mouthful of spaghetti while sitting on the steps of the fire exit, someone opened the door behind her.

Startled, she looked back immediately.

"Hey, black glasses it's you!" Before she could recognize the person, a sweet yet crispy voice rang in her ears. Then a little figure dashed to sit beside her, "What are you eating? Is it delicious?"
