~Merry POV~"I am sorry; I don't hate you. But I can't work with you. Thanks for the offer." Ryan stood up from the chair and turned to leave. No, I cannot let him leave this company! "Ryan, please wait." I stood up and yelled at the top of my lungs.His feet came to a stop before he turned and looked at me."What is your reason for rejecting my offer?" I inquired, placing both my hands on the table and looking at him. He gave a dark chuckle, made a sound, and placed his hand in his pocket."You probably are not aware of my experience with your company. "I worked like a dog day and night to help this company grow.""But this company abandoned me when I needed support." He gritted his teeth and said—I could see the rage in his eyes against my company."I know everything!" As soon as I said it, he turned his body and scoffed."You don't!" He poked me with his index finger."I was in the hospital for months, and your great-grandfather fired me, even though I did an excellent job expos
~Merry POV~Ryan nodded his head in a denied way. "He doesn't agree to join us!" Julian looked at me as my heart ached with pain."What about the others?" I inquired, gulping with fear."They have already collaborated with Wade in his company. They are working together." "I tried to bring them to talk with you, but no one was ready to visit this company once again." He said everything with a single breath. "They shut my mouth while telling me that the company abandoned them when they needed help."I closed my eyes for a second and listened to the same things. "Wade filled my position while working day and night to keep the company on track!" "However, the management is very late in paying the salaries." "He also lost a lot of things." Ryan lowered his eyes and nodded his head."Wade stated that he cannot trust the company one more time and risk destroying his future.""I will try to talk to Wade once!" Ben said this while giving me a look. I nodded my head, think
~Victoria POV~I am listening to Wade's broadcasting.Oh yes, Merry, you did a great job. It was the only broadcast I used to hear from our industries. Wade started to sing songs for an audience. His voice is mesmerising.I couldn't stop smiling. "What is the reason behind your beautiful smile?" A voice echoed throughout the room, and I followed the directions while checking on the person.It's Justin! He is leaning against the wall while crossing his hands over his chest. Oh my god, he is dressed in a white full-sleeved shirt that folds up to his shoulders and black jeans on his lower half.His shirt fitted against his shoulder biceps while showing his muscular body.He is wearing black sunglasses over his eyes, and the smirk around his lips is extremely hot.Hmm, Justin is one of the most handsome boys I have ever seen.His voice, his body moves, his muscular body, his body scent—everything about him is mesmerising.I couldn't take my eyes off him—he was so sexy.As soon as m
~Victoria POV~Justin is talking with his team on the call with all seriousness on his face.I am sitting on my bed while eating my nails, looking at Justin.Yet, my heartbeats are not under my control.I want to talk with my father right now and know about his status.I want to hear his voice, but how?I am not using my phone or sim. I can't talk to him like me, Victoria Gilbert.I want to speak with Dad once; I miss him a lot.I closed my eyes for a brief moment before looking down at my phone. Justin gave me a new phone and a new SIM card.I picked up my phone in my hand and unlocked it before dialling my father's number from the screen.He is my father, but not a monster to scare him into calling—with a thought, I called my father while holding my phone to my ear.As the call started to ring, my heart started to pound into my ears while making me gulp."Hello!" His warm voice echoed through the phone and onto my screen, and my heart skipped a beat."Who is this?" he inquired."I a
~Merry POV~ "The interesting fact is, the hospital was bought by your father recently—he is going to be the main guest of the event!" Justin revealed the information.Holy sh*t— I shared a look with Julian, and my jaw dropped. "What are you saying?" I exclaimed while chuckling. "I assume your mother knew the hospital belonged to your father, so she declined to visit the new branch and launch her device!" Justin said.Jesus, is this your game to help me reunite with my parents?This is truly a miracle! My father bought a hospital to help the public, and that management is related to my mom's workplace."Vic, don't miss this opportunity!" As soon as I muttered, she sounded, "HUH!" "Yes, you have to persuade mom to promote her gadget in Switzerland." "Convince Mom to take a trip to Switzerland!" "I think this is our chance to arrange a meeting between Mom and Dad!" I said everything in one breath. "How will I convince mom?" There is a lack of confidence throughou
~Justin POV~I am talking to Merry on the call. "What are the results?" She inquired, and there was fear in her voice to hear bad news. "I took my father with me to your house.""It was a fantastic idea; after both of us, if anyone can make my mother understand, it is Uncle Lucas." She said while supporting my decision to take my father to convince her mom.."I started the conversation while taking the initiative!" I explained at the beginning. "Good start, then!" She inquired. "I asked her as if I did not know anything.""I asked her why she was giving credit to others for her hard work.""She stated that she is not interested in being recognized by the people—she just wants to help needy people!" As soon as I explained the part of the conversation, Merry groaned. "I tried various methods to persuade her, but she stuck to her one response—she was not interested in participating." "What was Victoria doing during all of this?" "She would have participated in the action to
~Merry POV~I am travelling with Samuel in the car, making my way to meet Julian.I want to tell him that my mother has agreed to come to Switzerland and give her a presentation.I could say this over the phone, but I prefer to say it in person. Julian wished more than anyone to give her presentation, and people recognised her work.I looked at myself through the side mirror when a thought ran through my mind—I was the reason behind my mother refusing to present her work, although she worked so hard.She is scared of losing me, so I do.I do not want to lose her either.Do not worry, Mommy—no one will be able to separate me from you, not even my father or Mr. Aiden Gilbert.I love you more than anything in my life. Mommy, you have no idea how much we sisters have planned for you—a happy family and a part of happiness in your life book.Take a deep breath and come over here. Give your presentation, and I will replay the plot of our stories.My parents acted as if they had forgotten ea
~Merry POV~"MERRY!" As soon as he muttered my name, I sat on his lap and wrapped my hands around his neck, keeping his head against my chest. I stroked Julian's hair with my fingers, thinking, "Come on, Julian; I will make you feel better."He let out a sigh of relief when I felt his warm breath on my collarbone.He wrapped his hand around my waist and hugged me tightly, pressing his nose against my skin and hiding his face in the crook of my neck.I couldn't help but chuckle when his warm lips touched my cold ones, spreading heat through my nerves while making me stroke his hair with my fingers.He smells wonderful, hypnotising me into closing my eyes and feeling it.On the other hand, his body is so warm that I could fall asleep in his arms, hugging him without a blanket on a snowbed."Merry, these people!" Julian muttered while trying to move when I pulled him back into my arms while wrapping my hands around his neck."TAKE A BREATH!" I instructed when he followed while taking a
