Margaux shut her eyes as she leaned back on the swivel chair. Remnants from the dinner last night kept repeating in her head. She was bothered. After Dinah informed her about Liana's declaration, her heart became unsettled. She badly wanted to shake the princess and tell her she didn't own Hendrix. She started massaging her temples after letting out an exasperated sigh. Her head was aching from wondering why Liana fancied Hendrix. There were a lot of guys out there, Jack for example, but she really chose her man! She scoffed. When it comes to Hendrix, she's becoming really selfish. She wanted him only for herself, not to take him back but to make him suffer. Anyone who interferes should face a consequence. Straightening on her seat, she had finally decided to do something about the woman. Her title didn’t intimidate her as her family was equally powerful as hers. She would not let her be the reason for her plans to fail no matter what happens. She pressed the intercom and
“Why me?” Margaux looked at Liana incredulously. Shocked was understatement for what she felt at the moment and she suddenly thought if she looked like a spy or something that made the woman think of giving her the job. She didn't even have time to accept more jobs nor was she desperate to earn more money. “Where is your secretary?” Liana crossed her legs and leaned back on the sofa comfortably. “Margaux is very busy. She only has one body and I didn't want to overwork her. And since you knew Hendrix, I decided that you're the best option to do the job,” she answered so casually as if it was ot a big deal. For her, of course it was not a big deal. But how about her? Didn't she realize that she was already belittling her? What did she think she was? Her subordinates whom she can order around? She rolled her eyes. “I'm sorry but I won't do it,” she said politely. She saw how Liana's eyes sharpened. Her face immediately darkened and she knew the woman was already angry. “W
Margaux drove to the hospital and met with Doctor Pablo as she promised. The doctor was very pleased as she was his favorite student before when she entered med school.“Don't you want to continue your medical studies?” asked the old man. She quickly shook her head in response, “The only reason I entered med school was to have some basic knowledge about medicine. And I'm already content that I know how to do first aid. I don't think I will be a good doctor and it's not the field my heart desires,” she replied casually. The doctor sighed, “I understand. It's just a shame to not have someone like you in the medical field,” he lamented. Margaux chuckled, “You sound like I'm a genius, doc. But thank you for the compliment,” she chirped. “Anyways, I'm here not to chat with you about my plans. I'm here to confirm if Wilma really has kidney failure” “Oh, that. The patient hasn't gone through ultrasound. They decided to just take an MRI scan instead, that's why it was rescheduled later,”
“Who the hell did send thee to me?! I'm not dead yet!” Wilma's voice thundered inside the room. She quickly got out of the bed and threw all the flower wreaths and stepped on each bouquet until all the petals were stripped and all the stands were ruined.“Why are they like this?! We haven't even confirmed if you're really sick!” David was as furious as his wife.“Ugh! Someone thought I'm already dead! Hurry and check the news! It must be one of the jobless reporters who makes fake news!David shook his head and quickly checked the news. But nothing about them was there which made his brows furrowed deeply. “Did you see something about me?” “There's nothing” Wilma looked at the messy room with all the ripped petals and leaves scattered in the floor with papers, wood and ribbons. “Could it be someone who has a beef with you?” Wilma stood frozen as she read those written on the ribbons. All the blood rushed up to her face and she growled like a hyena. “Someone wished for my death!
“What is going on?!” one of the nurses exclaimed. She looked at Margaux with a horrified expression before she ran back to her. “Miss Margaux, what are we going to do now?!” she asked with teary eyes. Meanwhile, Margaux was suppressing her laughter. She was excited she couldn't wait to see Wilma's reaction as soon as the priest entered the room. “Someone's really having a funeral here?” a question from a passerby. “No no no. No one died. There's no on-going funeral! It's just a misunderstanding!” another nurse explained in panic. She calmly watched as the commotion started again before her eyes. All the hospital staff on that floor were busy calling people and explaining to everyone. She was having fun watching them like an evil person enjoying the chaos she created. “Wait! Is this part of the celebration?” the nurse in front of her queried. She had high hopes in her eyes and she felt a little guilty to kill it. “No,” she shook her head. Those two letters were already enough to
“What's this commotion all about,” Doctor Pablo suddenly appeared. “Doc! That woman started it! She's the one who sends me all these flowers and even brought a priest, treating me like a dead person! She's basically having a funeral here for me!” Wilma screamed hysterically. Margaux looked at Doctor Pablo and smirked. “I don't know what she's talking about, Doc. I'm just here to fix this yet I'll be accused of being a culprit,” she said calmly. She glanced at Hendrix and saw him looking at her sharply. ‘You're siding with your mother, right? Let's see where that will take you,’ she thought. “That's right, Doc! We were panicking and asked for her assistance here. Miss Margaux even come up with an idea of throwing a party as an excuse to cover up why these flower wreaths are here,” said the nurse, “She's willing to spend for the sake of the patient's well being but the patient directly accused her as soon as she saw Miss Margau”“Yes! She's so irrational. She even shouted at the pr
Margaux stiffened. ‘What happened last night?!’ her head slowly turned to Hendrix and she saw his eyes were wide and his face turned pale. “Something happened between the two of you..last night?” She raised her eyebrows. ‘She knew it! That's why she was adamant to refuse believing him!’ her mind was screaming. She tried so hard not to hiss and remained calm even though deep inside she wanted to explode. She glared at the elevator and chanted in her mind to open it right away! Margaux, the secretary, looked at her in surprise. She acted as if she just noticed her and gasped exaggeratedly. “Margaux, why are you here?” she asked like a dumb person. She scoffed, didn't buy her acting, “I'm working here. How about you? Shouldn't you be on your boss' side right now?” she retaliated. She couldn't hide the sharpness of her voice. Her mood decapitated just like that and she won't forgive that replica for ruining her day! “I just–”The elevator finally ding and the door slowly opened. She
“You are my first kiss, Margaux..” he repeated after their sensational kiss. The elevator opened before Margaux could respond. She immediately pushed him away and quickly ran away from him. “Margaux!” She heard Hendrix call her name. ‘Fvck! Fvck! Fvck! Why did I let him kiss me again?!’ her mind was screaming. She kept on cursing while running until she reached her car. Hastily, she climbed inside the driver's seat and quickly started the engine. Shut shut her eyes and took a deep breath. She needed to calm down! Her heart was beating wildly and her hands were shaking, she couldn't drive! “You are my first kiss, Margaux..” She cursed loudly. She could still clearly hear his voice as he said those words and she could still feel his warm lips pressing against her lips like it was still there! “This can't be!” she shook her head profusely. She was distracted! Trying to calm herself down, she took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. She even counted to ten before she opened her ey
