The drive was long and as Sue’s promised, it was very silent because the guy never opened his mouth again the moment they hit the main road. Margaux did not know whether she would feel relieved with that because suddenly, she felt that something was not right, knowing that the cousin of hers was never really the type who can keep his mouth shut. Actually, he was the most talkative amongst them and he never ran out of topics to keep the conversation afloat and the atmosphere light. He was known to be the more sociable person in their peers which was why it was so weird and unusual of him to really keep his promise. Clicking her tongue, she was not able to contain it anymore and finally broke the silence by asking him. “Are you really going to keep your promise?” she queried. Sue glanced at her through the rearview mirror. It was just brief but it did not escape her eyes and saw him smirked. “You can’t take it anymore, huh?” he chuckled. ‘She knew it!’ she thought. Her eyes squin
Fortunately, Sue did not ask further questions and just silently started the car again after she said that. He drove quite fast and they quickly reached Liana’s hotel in no time. “What are we going to do here?” he queried when she immediately stepped out of the car as soon as he parked it in front of the entrance. She did not answer, instead she walked inside the entrance, leaving him puzzled. “Wait for me!” Sue quickly gave the key to the valet then ran after her. Margaux did not look back. She just kept on walking until she reached the elevator. She ignored all the meaningful stares of the people she walked past with and let her eyes look straight ahead. “Since when did you walk so fast?” Sue complained.The elevator door was about to close when suddenly a woman shouted ‘wait’ which her cousin quickly pressed the open button to let the woman in for the last minute. “Thank you! I’m in a hurry because I might not catch my boyfriend if I take the next trip,” the woman enthusiasti
“What do you mean?” Margaux’s eyebrows deeply furrowed. Her body froze as she gawked at the woman in front of her. She looked young and quite good looking and if not for the uniform she was wearing, she would have suspect that she was Hendrix’s woman. Shaking her head, she gave the housekeeper a skeptical look.Obviously, she didn’t trust her word. Who knows if Hendrix just paid her to say those things just to shoo her away. He had no place to go and there were no hotels that would accept him. It was so impossible that he would leave the penthouse without thinking. It was so impossible, she thought. “Mr Hendrix left yesterday morning and said he didn’t think it was right to use the Princess penthouse,” the housekeeper responded. “Where is he staying now?” Sue inquired when she suddenly became silent. The woman shook her head and gave them an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Sir..” Narrowing her eyes, she stared sharply at the housekeeper and tried to see through her. The woman wo
The silence was deafening that even the drop of needle would be heard. The door was halfway closed and Margaux hoped that they wouldn't move until the door was finally shut. But really, luck had never been by her side, because her hope crumbled when Leila's must have snapped out of her trance and quickly slid her shoe in between the two doors to stop it from closing completely. Automatically, the door then opened wide again, giving the two another chance to get in. Leila was the first one to step in while grinning meaningfully at Margaux.“Oh, it’s you two again!” she exclaimed cheerfully as though she did not expect it at all. She looked away while her eyes were blazing in anger. She had calmed down and was already feeling better but her mood was instantly ruined by their mere presence. “Drix, why are you still there? Come get here faster before the door closes again!” the woman said in a hurry then grabbed Hendrix’s hand and pulled him inside. That scene seemed so natural betwe
Hendrix's thick eyebrows instantly furrowed upon hearing that. His face turned dark as his furious eyes were putting on the guy’s back. “Hendrix, let me explain,” Leila said in panic. She tried to hold him but he quickly slapped it away. “Go away,” he said sternly. He didn't care about that woman. He was just an accessory he tried to use to cover his wounded ego. He had just been enduring the pain of seeing her but not touching her. And he thought he was going to die of jealousy watching her being held by another guy. He had seen the news early that morning. Her wedding with Josh Garcia had been officially announced in public. If not for his friend, Giro who called him while he was in his drunken slumber, he would not bother watching that d*mn news at all. Even though he knew about it already, upon seeing the guy’s mother holding an invitation and showing it on Nation television, he knew that it was the end of his world. He had already tried everything to stop it and take her
Hendrix's eyes widened as he stared at the woman in front of him. It felt like it's been so long since he last saw her. “Nice to see you again, Hendrix. I never expect we'll meet in your worst state,” Roxanne grinned at him. She looked a little different but still recognizable. The way she dressed up changed as well and she looked more mature and sophisticated. Pushing the handkerchief on his hand, she then quickly stood up. “Wipe your tears. It doesn't suit you looking so weak and vulnerable,” she said then folded her arms across her chest. Meanwhile, Hendrix was astounded. He cannot believe what his eyes were seeing. As far as he knew, that woman was in jail and will rot there for the rest of her life. It was even impossible for her to escape because he paid a hefty amount of money to hire a group of people to guard her twenty four seven. With Roxanne’s unexpected appearance, all of a sudden, he forgot the excruciating pain he was feeling. Even his injured leg felt numb and h
Hendrix brows deeply furrowed, “What do you mean?” he queried. There was a long pause from the other line which made him feel suspicious. He was very confident that his company would still strive even if he was not there. It overcame Margaux’s attempt of making it bankrupt before which he thought was the breakthrough of M Corp. That’s why hearing that it was suddenly in not good condition was unbelievable. Something must have happened internally that his friend thought that it would be the company’s downfall. “Your relatives are fighting for the chief executive officer position. I don’t know where they heard the news, but they said you are already abandoning M Corp and had not appointed anyone to take your post,” his friend reported. “What?” he released a heavy breath. And he was right. Although he had suspected it, still, he was surprised for he did not think his relatives were that greedy. Those who managed subsidiaries that were already bankrupt had no protest during its
Hendrix woke up with a severe headache. He had no idea how much he drank but the feeling was like he drank a ton that his head felt like being ripped in two. “Ugh!” he grunted as he tried to sit up. However, due to his injury, he struggled sitting up and even gave up because he can only manage one physical pain in his body. “Fvck this headache!” he cussed. Regrets always come last as people already experienced the consequences. As for him, he regretted drinking there and not in his bedroom because his body was also aching due to sleeping on the floor. Letting out a heavy breath, he flatted his back on the carpeted floor and shut his eyes tightly. His splitting headache seemed to last until tomorrow so he did not try hard anymore to get up and just wanted to sleep again there. Nevermind if his back would hurt even more, at least he slept well and his headache had ease. However, the noise from his ringing phone distracted him so much that he can’t just ignore it. “Whe
