Claire was silent for a few moments but then she replied to Felix who was waiting for her answer, “Sir, I am not a single woman so I am free to do whatever I want. I can't possibly go to places like that.”Hearing Claire's statement, the handsome man was shocked. It was as if he had just received news that had shaken him.Felix looked so unable to accept that fact.“What does Miss ... you have a family?” Felix asked.Claire only replied with a smile which Felix believed that she had indeed stated that she was married.Felix really never thought that the woman he thought was still very young was married. This was one of the things that made it so difficult for Felix to believe in her. However, Felix could not deny the fact and was finally forced to believe what he had heard.Because, even though Felix was a player and had slept with so many women that he couldn't count how many women had climbed into his bed, Felix still maintained one principle.That principle was that he would never
Helen could only nod her head and no longer asked her brother.Helen believed Felix never denied what he said because that was what his parents had taught him when they were alive.In the afternoon, Felix returned to the park where he usually met the little boy who had made him feel so happy while in the country.The man even arrived there first and immediately sat down in a garden overlooking the shady trees.Just 10 minutes later, Sean arrived carrying two medium-sized plastic bags and walked cheerfully towards Felix.“What are you carrying?” Felix asked the little boy.“Toys. Do you want to play with me again?” Sean asked.Without hesitation Felix nodded his head, “Of course, what are you here for if not to play with you?”Sean immediately smiled widely and opened the toy right there. Felix, who had gotten used to the boy's presence, felt closer to him every day, so he always felt like meeting the boy.Sean himself felt so happy because he had a playmate when he had to wait for his
As a good boy, Sean also kept his promise and never said the things that had been whispered to him by Felix to anyone.The little boy didn't even tell his mother and just smiled happily when his mother asked him to go to bed at night.On the other side of the world, Michel and Bayer's family were holding a celebration of Ludwig Beyer's success in managing his own business.The celebration was held in a very luxurious hotel and was attended by many business people in Indonesia.All members of the two families were present and were seen wearing big smiles as they greeted the guests.It was also seen on the lips of Jasmine Michel who was seen accompanying her husband wherever Ludwig went.Jasmine was currently standing next to Ludwig to welcome some of the city's top CEOs.“Besides your business running so smoothly, you are also so smart to have chosen one of the daughters of a famous businessman as your spouse,” one of the guests said, which instantly made Jasmine smile widely.Ludwig re
Ludwig just realized that he had really made a big mistake when he decided to marry Jasmine.The woman who had been his wife for several years was a very stubborn woman and had a very different nature than her brother.However, he no longer wanted to feel pressured by his wife so he calmly retorted, “If you dare to divulge all the secrets of our marriage then I won't keep our marriage either.”Jasmine widened her eyes, staring in disbelief at her husband. “What do you mean?”“Divorce,” Ludwig replied.Jasmine's lips instantly trembled when she heard it, “You're joking right? There's no way you're going to do that. You can't divorce me.”“Why not, Jasmine?” Ludwig replied still with a very calm expression.Jasmine said back with her chin up, “Because your family depends on my family. My family saved your family's honor from destruction. Your mother's father would never allow you to divorce me.”Ludwig was silent for a few moments and that gave Jasmine the upper hand.She believed that h
Oh, no. Claire forced herself to smile and then pinched her own cheeks to wake up.She really thought she might be dreaming or perhaps daydreaming.There was no way that Felix Homann was the CEO of the resort where he earned money for his son.It was simply impossible and there was only a fraction of a percent chance that it could happen.However, Claire felt a twinge of pain as she tugged at her right cheek and had to gasp in shock when she discovered that it was indeed a reality that she had to accept.The sound of applause and noise soon filled the building. Claire also joined in the applause even though in her heart she was extremely agitated.“Wow! That's amazing!” “We are so lucky to have a CEO like him!”Others also responded, “Under his leadership, our resort will definitely progress further.”“Yeah, he's known for his cold hands in the business world so there's no doubt about that,” another added.Jason, the staff standing right beside Claire also chimed in, “But, don't yo
When Andrew was about to open his mouth to answer Claire's question, Felix suddenly raised his hand and asked his trusted man to be quiet.Claire immediately turned to Felix who then said, "You will be my personal secretary."For a moment Claire looked speechless but after she understood what Felix had just said, Claire widened her eyes, "What do you mean? I am to be your personal secretary?""Yes."Claire couldn't believe it but the man who had become the CEO of the Himalaya resort changed again, "You're not cut out to be an assistant manager and that's evident from the fact that you've failed to overcome previous problems."Indeed when Felix understood the nature of Claire's problem, he felt he had found a solution that would enable him to bring Claire to her knees.He did not know the background that made Claire look unprofessional when serving the Michel family.But he did not care about that reason because all he could think about at the moment was how he could get close to Clair
"What do you have to fear? Even if someone recognizes you, they won't be able to do anything," Felix said.The man was now truly a CEO and not a man pursuing a woman he wanted.Felix Homann was known to be able to separate the world of work and his personal affairs.If he was in a situation where he had to bring out his ability to deal with various problems in his company then it was certain that the man would put his own personal problems aside."Yes, Sir." After all, Claire had no choice but to obey the CEO's orders."Let's go in!" Felix called and she quickly followed behind him along with Andrew.Once the stranger had arrived at the lobby, he was immediately greeted by several staff members.This was of course because Felix's appearance was so convincing that he was treated much better than the usual guests."Sir, then please come with us!" a very pretty female staff member said.Claire suspected that the woman was in the same position as she had been because obviously one of the
Sean looked at Felix with his innocent face.Suddenly Felix sensed something strange in the boy's expression.“Tell me, why do you intend to hide from me?” Felix asked.Sean was silent. “Why? Don't you want to tell me? You don't consider me your friend anymore, do you?” Felix really felt so very disappointed and this was again the first time he felt that way.Sean immediately shook his head, “No, Uncle. I consider you as my best friend. It's just that ....”“What's wrong? You can tell me anything,” Felix said, deliberately wanting to make the little boy more open.He didn't want to be seen as a pushover but he really wanted to know what was on Sean's mind.Sean seemed to be hesitating but when he observed the face of an uncle who had often accompanied him to play when he was waiting for his mother to work, he felt safe to tell him.“Won't you tell anyone if I tell you everything?” Sean asked.Without hesitation the man replied, “Of course, sweet boy. I always keep my word. You don't
Love?That one word came back to Felix's heart.Andrew who saw the confusion and shock in Felix's eyes understood it very well.Of course, for as long as he had known Felix Homann, the man had never once had those feelings for a woman.A woman was just a bedmate to him. Felix treated them all in the same way, just like someone who had helped him with his sexual problems. Never once had he favored a woman. Only Claire. The one who had kept him on edge for years, whom he had only met for a few hours. "Sir, if you're still doubting your own feelings, you might want to try one thing," Andrew said, trying to make a suggestion.Felix replied without turning his head, "What?""You might try secretly bringing Claire to your bed."Felix's face hardened instantly, "Are you crazy? She'll kill me on the spot if she finds out." Andrew explained, "Sir, I understand. But, this will really help you to know whether you are really in love with Claire or not." "I don't understand. What do you mean?"
"No, I don't. Of course I don't hate you. I just ... just ....""Just what?" Felix demanded.Claire wasn't sure how to explain it properly but she tried not to offend Felix."Look ... you can still do all your responsibilities to Sean without marrying me."Felix shook his head firmly, "I can't.""What do you mean you can't?" Claire asked as she was getting confused.Felix was also at a loss as to how to explain it.He could not possibly tell Claire that he not only wanted to be Sean's legal father but also wanted to be her husband.This was because he knew with certainty that Claire would not believe him.Claire would even think he was crazy for liking her in such a short time.So, Felix tried to rack his brains and reply to her, "It won't be the same. I want to be her father every day, all the time. I want to keep her near me and I ... want to take responsibility for what I've done to you in the past."This of course made Claire even more surprised. Why would he say that? Claire won
"Sorry, Ludwig. I've actually liked you for a long time, but never expressed it because I respected the relationship between the two of you," Jasmine explained.She put on as pitiable an expression as she could so that Ludwig would sympathize with her.Ludwig didn't understand her feelings but he seemed unable to accept them. He was afraid that their relationship would become awkward. And it's true, since then their relationship had gotten worse and worse as Ludwig increasingly felt that Jasmine was trying to take his heart.In fact, without hesitation Jasmine used dirty means to lure Ludwig without Ludwig's knowledge. But, Ludwig still couldn't accept the love of his legal wife.Jasmine always covered up all her heartache in front of her family and despite being repeatedly shaken by a deep sense of sadness due to Ludwig's not-so-nice treatment of her, she still protected him from her family.It's now been years since they've been together, but Ludwig still didn't show the slightest
The words of her family really seemed to slap Jasmine. Everything she had ever wanted was dashed instantly. Her efforts were destroyed, aka nothing but Claire's departure.She never wanted that to happen to her. In fact, at that time her family openly asked her to indirectly replace Claire.She was asked to become Claire. She was required to learn so many things that she herself was not sure she had the freedom to do anything.However, after all that she luckily got a reply that put a big smile on her face."The Beyer Family is asking us for a favor." Christine said one evening."Their company is in crisis and only we can help them," Christine continued as she looked at all her family members.Henry of course knew this because he was the one who was consulted by the Beyer family."But, I have made one condition if they want to be helped," Henry said.Jasmine, who wasn't interested in the matter at all, didn't really listen and just concentrated on her dinner.However, when suddenly th
In the end Claire went to the nightclub with Jasmine and wore a sexy red dress that revealed her cleavage. Obviously Claire felt very uncomfortable with her own appearance, but she chose to ignore the discomfort.In her heart, Jasmine was really very jealous of Claire who only wore the dress without makeup and already looked so very beautiful and extremely charming.What's more, Jasmine had also managed to dress Claire up like a party queen at the nightclub with a fiery red lipstick that was the same color as the dress she was wearing.No wonder that as soon as the two of them stepped into the place where people were free to dance and express themselves, Claire immediately became the center of attention.There were so many men looking with interest at Claire who at that moment in the evening looked so stunning and so amazing.In fact, it could be said that Claire stole the attention of almost all the male visitors, making the women stare at her with envy and jealousy.If Jasmine hadn
However, what can be said. Jasmine could never destroy the relationship between Ludwig and Claire.Ludwig really was very loyal to her sister, while her sister also seemed to love Ludwig very much.Her irritation then became intense. Jasmine still couldn't let Ludwig go even though she couldn't do anything about it.In the end, she even witnessed Ludwig proposing to Claire.At that time, the atmosphere was very romantic. Ludwig proposed to Claire on her brother's birthday."I have never met a woman so perfect as you that this heart can never be willing if you are with another man."The family present at Claire Michel's birthday celebration were amazed by Ludwig's declaration of love for Claire."Therefore, please allow me to be your companion forever," Ludwig continued with his eyes full of love for Claire.Claire, who did not expect to be proposed to on her birthday, replied with a word that finally made everyone clap loudly."Thank you, I promise to make you happy for the rest of my
Ludwig didn't know why Jasmine thought he was so stubborn.However, he could only give her an answer that would never change, "Because my heart will never change and you know who my heart belongs to."After saying that Ludwig quickly changed his clothes and then left the apartment he shared with his wife.As soon as Ludwig left, Jasmine's hatred for her biological brother grew."Why does the one Ludwig loves have to be you, Claire? Why you?"Not only did she hate Claire for taking everything from her but she also wanted to destroy her sister."Since childhood you've taken everything, Claire. Then, why is it that Ludwig is the only one I want to have but you also took him away? Why should you get everything? Why?"Suddenly, Jasmine seemed to be reminded of her past where she and Claire were still students.Several years ago,At that time Claire had worn his high school uniform while Jasmine was still wearing her white and blue uniform. They were having breakfast in the morning with th
"Yes, Ma'am. We understand," the men said in unison. Even Jason, though reluctantly, replied to the manager.Shirley then dismissed them and the staff returned to their respective workplaces.That left Jason and Elena, a staff member who was now also Shirley's subordinate. The girl still couldn't accept Shirley's words and looked upset about it but she tried to suppress it."Isn't she the one who looks strange? No?" Elena asked Jason.Jason nodded his head quickly, "It looks like she doesn't really like this news.""Yes. Why would he not like it if his single subordinate could now be in a relationship with a superior at this resort?" Jason snorted when he heard Elena's question.The man did not expect Elena to be a very innocent girl who would not suspect anyone.Yet in her eyes, Shirley's manner of speaking was very clear. Her actions reflected Shirley's dislike for Claire.But Jason was still kind enough to explain, "Ms. Shirley most likely also likes Mr. Felix or at least has a c
Before Felix could begin answering Claire's questions, the doctor who was treating Sean came back out of the room and met the two anxious people."Sean has passed the critical period and will now be transferred to the hospitalization room soon," the doctor said.Claire breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the good news. Felix couldn't help but feel relieved as he hurriedly said to the doctor, "Thank you for saving Sean, Doc."Felix rarely said those words, but this time he felt he had to. All this was of course for his son's sake."No need to thank me, it's my job to save all patients."Felix nodded politely at the doctor. Claire said the same thing. Felix then told a nurse standing next to the doctor, "Please, move my son to the best room in the hospital."The nurse replied with an obedient nod.My son. Claire, who heard those two words spoken so clearly by Felix, frowned. Felix didn't seem at all awkward about saying those two words, as if he was really very used to saying t
