Margaux went to work in a great mood after a good talk with her favorite people. "Good morning, Miss Margaux!" Carlos greeted me. Margaux smiled and greeted back, “Good morning" Carlos tilted his head and stared at his boss, "You seemed happy. Is it because our plan yesterday was a huge success," he grinned. She chuckled upon remembering how extra he did for that plan to infuriate the old woman. "I will give you a raise for that. It was so entertaining because Wilma was so angry and shouted at the priest. Although I feel bad for the priest and the staff, I already gave them something to compensate for it," She chuckled. She was about to go straight to her office when she suddenly stopped remembering something, "By the way, what happened to the life celebrating party? Did Wilma attend?" She didn't go there anymore as she had a good time with her cousins in the manor. "They did. The nurses were able to convince her to join as they told her it's a homage for the people who died youn
The news ruined Margaux's mood entirely and she immediately lost her appetite. After the call with Abigail, she quickly checked the news and saw that Hendrix was indeed back in the Philippines. "Who told you to leave like that?!" she greeted her teeth. She quickly dismantled her table and threw the half empty bento box on the trashcan. She was not in the mood to work anymore as she just wanted to leave and find a way to communicate with Hendrix. Walking back and forth, she thought of a way to do that and the only thing she could think of was to call him with her personal phone. However, she didn't like that as it was too personal, so she had to think again. Grunting, she gave up thinking. It was so hard to use her brain especially when she was angry. And for her anger to subside, she just decided to play with Wilma. "Blame this on your son. it was all his fault why my full attention diverted to you now", she muttered then took her bag and stepped out of her office."Carlos, I'm g
Margaux smirked as she entered Wilma's room. “Good afternoon,” she greeted sweetly as soon after closing the door behind her. Wilma pointed at her with a face looking like she had seen a ghost. “W-why are you here?” she stuttered. She was alone and Margaux couldn't be happier after realizing that. She can say anything without anyone interrupting and threatening her. And most especially, Wilma won't have anyone to support her. “Doctor Pablo asked me to bring this to you,” she answered casually then waved the piece of paper in her hand. “What do you need this for anyway? Are you looking for a different hospital to treat your illness?” she raised her eyebrows. Slowly, she stepped forward but stopped in the middle. She gave her a smile then while folding her arms across her chest. Meanwhile, Wilma sat on her bed. Tightly, she clutched her shaking hands on the blanket as if her life was dependent on it, “Don't. . .come near me!” she screamed almost inaudibly.Margaux chuckled as her e
“You're here again,” Margaux chirped as she smiled at the woman who shared the same name with her. Liana's secretary smiled back. She seemed so confident as she stepped out of the elevator and halted right in front of her.“I'm meeting Hendrix. He told me to come here to talk about what happened between us,” she replied casually. Gone was the anxious and pitiful little girl who begged Hendrix the other day. She became so confident now and she said those words to her as if it was something to brag about.Margaux chuckled. “Really?” she chirped. She shifted her feet and folded her arms as she looked at her, “But I didn't see him inside his mother's room..” she stated. The woman seemed taken aback. Her poise was gone for a second but she quickly recovered and lifted her chin. “I purposely come earlier than what we have agreed upon because I want to spend time with Mrs Mondragon and get to know her"“Is that so?” She raised her eyebrows. “I won't fiddle around with you then. Excuse me.
“Hi, Chef Sue,” Margaux greeted cheerfully. “Margaux,” Sue greeted back. Contrary to their expectation, the guy seemed calm upon seeing her. He even beamed at her as though he said nothing weird at all. “What did I just hear? Were you serious about that?” she queried. She won't pretend like she didn't hear anything. She won't let it slide as she find It quite disturbing knowing that her cousin never jokes about feelings. Among all her male cousins, Sue was the most serious about relationships. She heard Dinah click her tongue while her gaze stayed at Sue. Her eyes then squinted as she noticed the guy's expression suddenly turned serious. “Are you interested more about that than my condition? Aren't you going to ask if I'm okay?” he replied with another question. Then he let out a dramatic sigh, “I knew I'm not on the list of your favorite people, but it hurts here Margaux,” he pointed at his left chest. “You should become an actor,” Dinah commented. Margaux got confused. But af
Margaux was chuckling as she entered Sue's room. The guy was a little surprised but it didn't last long. “I thought you would not come back,” he commented. However, she didn't respond to him and just snickered, which made her cousin's brows knitted together curiously. “What's funny?” he queried. Margaux slowly walked towards the couch and gracefully sat there. She leaned back and crossed her legs before she gave Sue her attention. “Liana's face is so funny,” she chuckled. Her eyes were dancing in delight as the woman's shocked face before she left her in the corridor was still on her mind. “She's here?” Sue frowned. She nodded, “Hhm. I met her in the corridor,” she answered. “She's probably still outside” “Why is she here?” “To warn me about Hendrix,” she answered without hesitation. Meanwhile, Sue tilted his head with his brows deeply furrowed as he looked at her in puzzlement. “Who is Hendrix?” he asked. Margaux raised her eyebrows. She almost forgot that the guy's short t
“I really like Hendrix,” Liana continued. “He got all the boxes. In short he's just my type. So, if you want me to leave him alone, you better tell me why coz I wouldn't stay away from him without a valid reason” Margaux clicked her tongue, “I don't trust you,” she said blatantly.Liana's eyes widened as her lips parted. But almost instantly, she recovered and narrowed her eyes on her darkly, “You don't trust me?” she scoffed. “I didnt know you're this brave,” she commented sarcastically. “You don't trust me too, right?” she retorted. “Would you tell me your plans then if I ask you to?”Margaux smirked when the woman didn't respond. “Just like you, I won't tell you anything just because you ask for it. You can't use your position to make me follow you..” she said meaningfully. Liana folded her arms and stared at her sharply. Although she looked pissed off, she stayed still and confidently lifted her chin.“You're boring,” she muttered. “Mom told me you tried to talk to her, but she
To say she was surprised was understatement, she was flabbergasted! It had been a few hours when she was excited recounting what happened in the Philippines. Now, she suddenly seemed scared of the guy for some reason. Curiously, she stared at her phone for a while before pressing it back on her left ear. “Did something happen?” she queried. There was no response from the other line which made her frowned. “Abi?” “Yes, something unexpected happened just an hour ago..” “What is it? Is that why you are in a bar right now?” she asked worriedly. She heard a loud sigh from the other line, as the loud music was slowly fading from the background. She guessed her cousin went out and searched for a quiet place to talk to her properly. “I don't think I can do it, Margaux. I'm sorry. Hendrix Mondragon is starting to make a move and he quickly made M Corp rise up again in a snap,” she said quickly without a break. “We underestimated him,” she clicked her tongue in annoyance.
