Elizabeth was soon done administering drugs to the man and left, ignoring his heated gaze on her.

“I hope we meet again in three days. Or less.” She concluded, disposed of the original liquid she would've given him and picked the tray containing the empty syringe and walked out.

She dropped it off and headed straight to her office, where she was informed there was a woman waiting for her.

“You don't just show up in my office without informing me, mother.” She groaned, seeing Ava in her office.

Ava, who was admiring the painting within the office, smiled proudly, seeing her daughter dressed in a white lab coat.

“You said you wanted to see me. I still have the message.” Ava defended, waving her phone for emphasis.

Elizabeth sighed and walked to her chair. “I know I did, but I sent you a follow-up message saying we'll meet in the hospital's parking lot.”

“You did?” Ava mumbled, opening Ava's message. She clicked her tongue when she saw the unread message.

She left the house as so

    That night, Andrew stood on his balcony, fiddling with an unlit cigarette, when a call came on his phone. He paused and reached into his pocket. “Speak.” “The FTC apologized for the sudden search when they found nothing.” Kaleb's voice sounded from the other end, “Do I move back the ledgers and goods?” Andrew thought for a second before he refuted, “Don't. I have a feeling Daniel won't relent and the next time, we have no idea who they'd send or what time they'd come. So take the goods and leaders to a safer place.” “Yes, boss.” Kaleb agreed without hesitation. Andrew ended the call and slipped his phone back into his pocket. His door flew open the next second. “Shouldn't you be sleeping?” He asked, not turning to see who it was. Whoever the person was, this person said nothing as he moved within the room in search of something. “Where is she?” He asked when he didn't see who he was after. Andrew pretended not to know who he was talking about and slowly turned around. Resting

    As people ate their breakfast the next morning while using their phone, a particular news kept popping up. Its heading was especially inviting that they all had to click it out of curiosity. “Just In: Nathaniel Reynolds, a model and rapper, has been exposed for sleeping with countless models in the industry! It's said that he exploits them and forces them to sleep with him in exchange for making their life in the modeling agency peaceful. #cancelnathanielreynolds!” Andrew took a sip from his coffee as he read the news. He suddenly smiled and dropped his tablet on the dining table, but paused, seeing Nicholas' blank eyes on him. “What?” “How you're still sitting there, not bothering to pay her a visit after she was almost raped by a friend I brought because you made her act like a maid, is really bothering me.” Nicholas outrightly said. He wasn't one to hide what he was thinking, as he only viewed such behavior as a burden. Why keep it in when you can say it and get it off your ch

    “He didn't listen to me.” Elizabeth said as she glanced at the tall building meters away from where she parked her car. The building had the initial 'AS' which stood for Andrew's Solution. Ava, who sat beside her, sighed and took off her glasses, “If you can't get him to change his mind, why do you think I can?” “Because you're his mother-in-law.” Elizabeth said outrightly. “Dante's company was on the verge of going bankrupt because Andrew attacked it. He doesn't care about anyone besides himself.” Ava frowned, leaning her head on the headrest. Elizabeth finally took her eyes off the building as she asked, “The fundraiser event will happen tomorrow. Even if he doesn't come, Taylor will attend on his behalf.” Ava glanced at her daughter and nodded in understanding. If everything goes according to plan at the fundraiser event, Taylor would be in hell. Before Elizabeth asked the driver to drive off, she paused and glanced at her mother, Andrew's chiseled back flashing back into her

    The face looked oddly familiar to Elizabeth, but as she stared at him, trying hard to recall where she had seen him before, Dante had flared up in rage. “Who is he? He's one of your boy toys, isn't he? Don't you know you're supposed to get rid of them as the married woman that you are!” Dante yelled, pointing a finger at Taylor's nose in rage. He didn't recognize who the man was and quickly assumed the worst. Taylor swallowed a painful lump as her body trembled in shock and heartbreak. She slowly glanced up at Charles, who had gulped down the champagne with a nonchalant look. However, he glared at Dante when he heard the middle-aged man's words to Taylor. Instead of speaking to Dante directly, he turned to Taylor with the most respectful look he could muster, “Mrs. Radford, who is this?” His question made Dante blush in embarrassment. How could this brunt claim not to know him! Most importantly, how could Taylor keep such a rude person as a friend? Look at him, he didn't even bo

    While the fundraiser event was ongoing, in a golf field with bright lights placed all around the vicinity, a concentrated Daniel swung his golf club. The ball flew up and dropped straight into the hole after seconds of being in the air. Daniel smiled in satisfaction and waited for another ball to be placed for him. Just then, a woman, in a short -suit skirt, walked in. She waited for him to play before saying why she had come, “Mr. Holt, Mr. Radford is here, should I let him in?” “Let him in.” Daniel instructed without glancing at her. The woman nodded and walked back to where she came from. Minutes later, a suited Andrew waltzed into the golf field. “I didn't think you'd accept my invitation to come see me.” Daniel chuckled as soon as Andrew got close. Andrew didn't reply immediately as he looked around the golf field. “Isn't it too late to play golf?” “Why not? I purchased the golf field not too long ago.” Daniel refuted, handing the golf club to the person next to him. He al

    Chapped lips, trembling eyes and unable to keep her eyes open. Taylor curled into a ball form on her bed, clutching tightly to her aching stomach. For some reason, she naively believed she could stomach the pain of not eating for more than twenty-four hours. She glanced at the time and hissed in pain. She still needed to go for another twelve hours to complete the two days. Taylor's lips were chapped, and her throat was dry, since she hadn't tasted water or anything liquid for more than a day. She was too weak to do so, and Andrew had ordered the maids not to help Taylor with anything. If she wanted something, she should get it herself. She sighed and closed her eyes, hoping she'd sleep off and wake up in twelve hours. Just then, she heard her door open, then the sound of soft footsteps. Taylor was too weak to get up and see who it was, so she just laid there. Something dropped beside her face and she quickly reached for it, seeing it was freshly baked bread. Not caring who drop

    Andrew's Villa “I didn't expect that you'd allow me to return to the entertainment industry. Why? Is it a tactic you've come up with to ruin me or punish me?” Taylor asked Andrew, who kept his eyes pinned on the food he was eating.Despite her intrusive question, Andrew didn't act like he heard her. It was until he was done eating five minutes later that he dropped his cutleries and glanced up at her. “Don't you want to return to your life as an actress?” He threw her a question instead of giving an answer to her question. Taylor exhaled tiredly and reached for the wine glass before her. She took a sip from it, her eyes pinned on his handsome face. “I do. But I can't help having the feeling you're just waiting for me to slip, so you can punish me.” “It's good you're now afraid of me.” He merely said, got up and walked out of the house. Taylor hissed angrily and relaxed on her chair. She glanced at her wristwatch and got up as well. It was already 9am, and she was supposed to be

    Elizabeth was in the hospital attending to a patient when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She didn't reach for it until she was done. “You should be fine in a couple of weeks given you don't do anything that puts pressure on your right leg, or you may have it contaminated which would leave the hospital no choice but to cut it off to save your life.” She told the young man who had broken his leg when he went on a hiking journey.He nodded and closed his eyes. Elizabeth didn't waste any more time with him as she walked out of the ward. She took off her gloves and dropped them in the bin, then took out her phone.She smiled when she saw the pictures sent to her and hastened to her office. Daniel really did take her bait. She was together with him last night and spilled the news that Taylor would be at Glass House Entertainment the following day. She didn't expect the man, who claimed not to be listening to her, to actually act on her words. But she was thankful for that. Now

    Inside the elevator heading downstairs, Taylor and Samuel stood in silence. He turned to her and questioned, “He called?” She hummed, “Mhm.” “What did he want?”“He just said to come back home.” “If that was the only thing he said, why did you take so long?” The man frowned slightly. “My father called after he hung up. The Holts will be visiting the Fairchilds residence tomorrow. He called to remind me in advance not to be late.” “Are you sure you don’t need me to come?” “Who would I tell them you are? My family doesn’t like me very much and neither does my ex’s family. If I show up with a man who isn’t my husband in place of my husband, they’d say I’ve been cheating on him.” “You’re telling me you plan to face six people alone. At least tell your husband. He’s a proud man, I bet he wouldn’t want you to be in the same room with your ex.” “What difference will it make? He’s not going to come. He’s never attended any event with me. I’ve always gone alone. A family event is not

    After agreeing with Samuel’s terms with, Taylor went back to work like nothing happened. She paid no attention to what the people at work said about her and how they treated her. She just turned a blind eye to everything. Samuel took her under his wings and attended pitch meetings with her where he gave her the opportunity to pitch her ideas to the rest of the directors whenever they gathered for a meeting. In two months, every idea she pitched, got approved by the board of directors and rolled in hundreds of millions in profit for the company. She was soon promoted from a junior consultant to a a partner, a post second only to the Managing Director in the whole of the Consultant Department. The evening after the 5th proposal she pitched to the company got approved, an elated Samuel took the entire consultant department out for dinner. Samuel was grilling their meat as usual. When he was done, he picked up a plate and filled it with me before passing it to Taylor. “Thank you.”

    Andrew left hours before she woke up and she had dinner in silence like she did the day before. Gael drove her to work and when she entered the reception, she realized no one was staring at her like they had done yesterday.They were rather all nervous and anxious. When she got to her department, no one still paid any attention to her. “Hey, have you seen the news about Daniel Holt? I heard he’s currently unconscious but now out of harm’s way.” “Why do you care about news about Daniel Holt when there’s a more pressing issue?” “Huh? Pressing issue? Is the company going bankrupt?” “Not that kind of pressing issue. Listen closely. A reliable source from the Media Department overheard that President Radford’s wife is working in the company.” “How is that possible? We would’ve long heard of it the moment she came in.”“That’s why it’s weird. I remember he got married and the internet carried the news and the name of his wife, now I searched up the news about his marriage on the inter

    Taylor felt uncomfortable and took a step backward. Then parted her lips to say, “Mr. Sanchez, I’m afraid I have to-“ tell you I’m married. She never got to complete her sentence as he placed a finger over her lips and hushed her thinking she was about to reject him without giving him any chance. “Don’t be in such a hurry to turn me down.” “My father may be a shareholder in this company, but that doesn’t mean I’m the director of the Consultant Deparmtent because of his influence m.” “Just like you, I’ve worked hard to get to where I am today. And I promise to continue working hard to take care of you and our family in the future.” “I’ll let you do whatever you want and I won’t let my family boss you around because of your background.” “When we get married, I’ll be in a better position to protect you from these bullies at work. So don’t be so quick to reject me and think it through, alright?” When he realized she wasn’t lookkng at him, but was staring at something behind him wi

    Taylor woke up early the next morning and the first thing she did was check her phone to know what was going on with Daniel. She found a live video of the hospital and clicked on it. Elizabeth’s face immediately popped into her sight wearing the doctor’s white lab coat under her sleeping wears. It was a live interview with a lot of reporters as swarming around the hospital. “We waited for you here all night but there was no sight of you. We’re all very well aware the surgery only lasted three hours and you were not supposed to be at work yesteday.” “So I have two questions for you. Why were you at Beating Hearts Hospital? You came to the hospital in your sleeping wear, were you preparing to sleep before the accident happened? If yes, why were you in such a hurry to leave the house that you forgot to change out of it?” The camera zoomed in on Elizabeth’s face. The bags underneath her eyes were now obvious and the fatigue on her face couldn’t be mistake. In the chat room, Taylor

    Inside the hotel room, awkward silence was broken when someone checked her phone to see the trending news. “Huh? Someone got into an accident? Daniel Holt got into a life threatening hit and run accident. No way!” “What? Daniel Holt? Has the culprit been caught? How is he?” Almost immediately, everybody whipped out their phones to see what was going on. After scrolling it for a moment, one of them heaved in relief. “Elizabeth Fairchild is in the ER with him already, I’m relieved.” “Honestly. She’s so good at her job that I can’t help but feel at ease after hearing she’s the one operating on him.” “She treated my grandfather once and he said he hadn’t felt much better. Ever since then, we changed our family’s doctor to her.” “The police report says he was driving drunk which was why he couldn’t get out of there quickly but it just looks to me like someone tried to kill him. I mean, look at how gruesome the scene of the accident.” “I know, right? Four trucks came up from all fou

    Anna’s expression changed drastically as she turned to Samuel beside her. Samuel ignored the curious eyes on him as he went ahead to grill the meat in silence. Anna swallowed a lump and glanced at Taylor in irritation. “Junior consultant, it’s your first time eating such an expensive dish. Despite how it looks to you, you should take a bite from it. As for grilled meat, you can always eat them every other day.”Taylor sensed the irritation in her voice and smiled at her apologetically, “My apologies, it’s not exactly the food. I’m just allergic to peanut. And it seems to be seared all over my meal.” “If it were an allergy I could control, I would’ve tried to take a bite from it. However, that isn’t the case. So I’d hate to bother everyone by having them see me break out in hives before spending the rest of their evening transporting me to the hospital.” “What are you apologizing for? Allergies can’t be controlled. You can’t eat peanut, but you can eat meat, can’t you?” Samuel but

    That evening, every staff in the company were driven to a 5 star hotel called Rosé Hotel using the company’s shuttle bus. However, the first set of people to arrive were staffs from the Consultant Department. Samuel Sanchez left the group when they got to the reception and went up to the receptionist to tell her of his reservation. “Hello, good evening. I made a reservation this afternoon for a dinner for more than 30 people.” “What’s the name, sir?” The receptionist asked as she settled her fingers on the keyboard. “Samuel Sanchez.” The keys of the keyboard began clacking the very next second before she stopped, a puzzled look appearing on her face and glanced up at him. “I’m afraid there’s no reservation under that name, sir. Are you sure you made a reservation before coming? You might think you did but actually forgot to.”Samuel shook his head at her suggestetion at what might’ve happened and whipped out his phone to show her his call logs. “No, I’m very sure of it.

    In Andrew Solution, Taylor pushed the whispering going around the company to the back of her mind and focused on her work. When it was a few minutes from when she closed from work, someone walked to her desk. “Junior consultant, the department director is holding a department dinner this evening. Everyone is mandated to be there.” “A department dinner?” Taylor repeated and raised her head to look at the person, already planning to reject the offer only to see her hurriedly walking away. Three minutes after she left, Taylor picked up her phone and opened her phone book. Andrew had made her delete every number she had saved. So the only number she now had was his. So she stared at his phone number in her phone book for several minutes. It’d be rude of her not to go to the department dinner, but she’d have a worse fate in store for her if she attended the dinner without Andrew’s permission. After hesitating for a long time, she tapped the number and called. She listened to it in t
