Zion was caught off guard by Paige’s accuse and nearly lost his composure. Under the heated stare of the officer, Zion stared directly at Yoel and replied, “Director Fabian, how do you expect me to know something that you don’t know?” Zion thought to himself that if Paige could act dumb, he could do the same as well. Zion kept having the feeling that Yoel acted strange, it was as if he completely changed into another person. From what Zion remembered about Yoel, he was someone who would do more harm than good. Plus, he was also lewd and enjoyed fooling around women. Thanks to his rather good looks and wealthy background, he had several women hanging around him. Even though those ladies left Yoel after his disappearance, and even took away the expensive gifts that they received from Yoel, Zion still felt that the situation was somewhat icky. Would a man change his sexual preferences just because he got betrayed by a woman?Zion studied Yoel intensely as if he was about to shoot
Recalling how Yoel flirted with him, Zion turned the tables around and carried out his vengeance. If he was not at the police station, he would have burst into laughter. Seeing how Zion was indeed getting back at her for what she did to him earlier, Paige walked up to him anxiously and was about to reach out for Zion’s hands. However, before she could even touch him, Zion quickly pulled his hands away from Paige.With a look full of disgust, Zion rejected her outrightly. “I’m sorry, Director Fabian. I’m not on a charity duty, it’s not my job to take pity on anyone that I come across.”Zion then left the interrogation room and got into his car. He then said to his secretary who waited in the car, “You’ve done a great job. There is something strange about Yoel right now. If we let him go free, I’m sure a problem will soon arise.”Seeing how Zion rubbed the back of his hands frantically, the secretary handed him a packet of antibacterial wet wipes. Without even looking, Zion received
“Yes, Director Flynn,” Vincent winked at Paige to encourage her before leaving the interrogation room with the police officer. On the other hand, Skyler and Paige walked out of the police station and when they got to the car park, Paige could not hold her emotions back and nearly burst into tears. Skyler came to a stop right away and said to her, “How’d you end up in the station? You got Estelle so worried, plus you know she’s pregnant… There, there, stop crying now. Get your stuff and let’s go home.”“Director Flynn, I’m not crying because I’m sad. These are tears of gratitude,” Paige wiped away her tears and with her red-rimmed eyes, sobbed and continue to explain, “if you didn’t bail me out, I would’ve been left with only two choices - either I come clean that I’m not Yoel Fabian or my identity would be exposed while I’m at the detention center.”Neither of the options seemed optimistic and led to the same ending. No matter which option she chose, it defeated all of her previ
The Flynns and the Johnsons shared quite a close relationship, hence Skyler knew how tough it was for Zion to make a place for himself within the Johnsons’ clan. Through the information he gathered about Zion, Skyler could not help but respect Zion as he knew that Zion was not someone to be underestimated. Paige was confused. “But in terms of our capability, Zion’s far ahead of me, and all the staff in the company choose to listen to him rather than to me. Even if I want to have a fair and square battle with him, I don’t have the capability for that.”Paige learned her lesson from underestimating her rival. Hence that time, she needed to be extra careful with her plans. “It’s good that you’re aware of this. Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself is the way to win the battle.” Leaning onto his car while staring into the sky, Skyler advised Paige as her employer. He then told Paige everything he gathered on Zion and concluded, “He’s much smarter than you think.”Judging by the situ
“Yes, sir.” Only then did Vincent stop going up against Paige, and the bickering between the both finally died down. Feeling pleased that someone had her back, Paige asked Skyler, “Oh, Director Flynn, how’s Estelle doing these days? I’ve been in contact with her but I haven’t got the chance to visit her in person. I don’t know if she’s doing well. I heard that the first couple of months during pregnancy can be quite uncomfortable.”She only knew about the pregnancy through movies and literature work. Though Paige knew that mothers were selfless, she was clueless as to what pain a mother had to go through during pregnancy. Upon the mention of Estelle, Skyler’s lips tugged into a wider smile and his gaze softened as well. “Stellie’s doing great. Perhaps because she had experience, so this pregnancy seems to be easier on her, and her appetite’s good too.”Paige smiled brightly and said, “That’s good then. I’ll visit her once I’m done with matters here. If I could come up with a solu
Skyler praised Paige after listening to her. “If your father had foreseen the situation today, he would’ve deeply regretted his choices. Paige, you’re a more suitable candidate to lead the Remington Group compared to your brother.”Skyler seldom gave compliments to his employees. Compared to when she was still working with him as his secretary, Skyler never complimented her that much. Paige beamed as she continued, “Director Flynn if that’s the case, do you think I’m somewhat gifted in the business field? If I continue doing what I’ve been doing, do you think it’d work?”Compared to Zion, Paige was still way underneath him in terms of their capability and experience in the business field. Paige still held onto her previous plan since neither of them could come up with a better solution. “You could try, I suppose. But this time around, you have to remember what Estelle reminded you… Make sure not to go overboard,” advised Skyler. Paige nodded in agreement. She was still in the mid
Yoel Fabian was taken away by the cops in front of everyone. Hence, almost everyone in the company was aware that she was involved in a fraud case. Seeing how she returned to the company as if nothing happened, the staff were surprised but neither of them dared to ask her personally. Zion was sure that it was Skyler who bailed her out. Paige looked calm on the outside but a storm already brewed in her mind. She held herself back from beating Zion into a pulp. She simply replied, “I do know Director Flynn personally. Manager Zion, how’s the previous case going on?”It was not every day that she got to pour cold water on Zion’s enthusiasm, so Paige was determined to get back to Zion this time. However, Zion seemed as if he was already well-prepared for her questions as he quickly answered, “It was going on well until word about the fact that you were involved in a fraud case spread.”“If I was involved in the fraud case, I would’ve been locked up in prison, and not showing up here,
Paige was reminded of what Skyler said to her… “Zion isn’t someone to be underestimated. Judging by how he was willing to let the situation unfold this way, he must have a solution to it. If you keep dancing to his tempo, you’ll never be able to make a difference in your company.”“If the mountain won't go to Mohammed, then bring Mohammed to the mountain. Even if I can’t get rid of the one who’s responsible for it, I ought to do something different.” The more she thought about it, the more Paige felt confident of her plan. She then made a call to the Logistics Department.Up to that point, there was only a newbie who worked in the department and he knew nothing about the company’s operating budget. “That’s alright. Bring me the reports and I’ll do the calculations myself.” After all, Paige received her training from the Flynns and the Sanders. Hence, accounting was a piece of cake for her. Within a few moments, she had a rough calculation of how much funds were left. It was clear t
