Hendrix was exhausted. He was leaning on his swivel chair with his eyes closed and ignoring whatever his secretary was reporting to him. “Three of our subsidiaries are already acquired and two are in threat of being bankrupt. If this continues, our market stock will drop again, Sir,” said Paolo. He didn't react nor even move a muscle. He wasn't even listening to Paolo as he had no more energy left in his body anymore. All he wanted was to go home and rest. Ever since he came back, he didn't have any proper rest yet as he was busy meeting with people and fixing the problem with the company. The office filled with silence until the door suddenly burst open and a furious scream erupted in the whole room. “Hendrix! What did you do to my daughter?!” Mr Roswell's angry voice thundered. Lazily, Hendrix opened his eyes and straightened on his seat. He then blankly looked at the two middle aged couples and tilted his head, “Who gave you permission to get in here?” he asked coldly, comple
“Hit her body and make sure she's dead after that. I don't care whatever you decide to do with her as long as she is no longer breathing, it's fine,” Roxanne continued. Her voice was too viscous that made Mrs Roswell kneeled down again and bursted out crying. “This..” Mr Roswell shivered. Indenial were written in their faces but no one dared to speak a word anymore. “If you're still not convinced, you can talk to the guy in the prison,” Hendrix's cold voice broke the awkward silence. Mrs Roswell suddenly ran away followed by her husband leaving his parents and his secret inside the office. “Are you still going to support her?” he queried while his eyes darted at his mother. Wilma's lips parted but she quickly avoided his gaze. “Let's talk again tomorrow, son. I'm tired from long hours of travel,” she immediately excused. Hendrix watched his parents hastily walk to the door as if someone was after them. He placed his knuckles on his chin as his lips twitched and silently waited
“Purchase and sales agreement?” Hendrix muttered. His brows furrowed as he scanned each paper quickly. However, after finishing the last page, he didn't think twice and just signed it without asking for his family's consent nor his legal team. It's from Margaux anyway. He didn't have any reason why he would reject or doubt it. He didn't need to ask questions nor do any investigations because he already knew what she wanted to happen.She will get whatever she wants from him. Carefully, he put all those papers back inside the envelope and placed it inside the drawer. Then, a grin plastered his lips as his eyes glinted in mischief as he suddenly thought of an idea. His exhaustion suddenly went away and felt rejuvenated after a plan formed in his head. His mood also improved as his anger already diminished just because it involves Margaux. “Paolo, call the legal team here now,” he ordered through the intercom. He leaned back on the swivel chair and pressed his thumb on his lips. Hi
Margaux rolled her eyes as soon as Abigail relayed to her what Hendrix had told her. “He wants me to go there?” she hissed. She cannot believe the guy's audacity to tell her that! “What right does he think he has to tell me to see him personally?” she exclaimed. Abigail chuckled from the other line, “Maybe he thought he got the upperhand now, since you are the one trying to negotiate with him,” she pointed out. “Who's negotiating with whom? I'm just letting him know that I'm buying the companies at their prices,” she scoffed. “Right. I wanted to tell him that, but I think it's more fun to see him expecting anything from you,” her cousin chortled. Margaux clicked her tongue in annoyance. She hated Hendrix's guts. Moreover, she hated that he really was not an easy prey. He already showed it by keeping his company afloat despite losing almost all of its subsidiaries. “He's very smart. I don't think he would give those companies easily..” said Abigail. “Wilma is more likely to stop
“What the!” she screamed in utter shock. She turned to her side and saw it was Sue. “What are you doing here at this hour?” she scowled. Sue looked at her with a restless face. “Help me,” he pleaded. Margaux quickly sat up and stared at her cousin with her eyebrows knitted together. “What happened?” she asked worriedly. The guy shook his head then buried his face on the pillow. He stayed Like that and refused to say anything. “Sue..” She called his name impatiently. Folding her arms, she squinted her eyes as she was getting a little irritated at the guy. She had no time to watch his drama. It's already late and she was a little sleepy after over an hour she spent on the internet for Wilma. And she needed to wake up early to check the result. “Look, Sue.. If you won't say anything, please leave. You're invading my bed and I don't want to waste my time watching you sulking there,” she stated. Sue slowly moved, which made Margaux's eyebrows automatically raised. He sat on the bed
“You have a visitor, babe..” Hendrix's gaze became more fierce as he looked at the guy and saw him grinning arrogantly at him. ‘Who the hell is this guy?!’ his mind exploded. ‘And what the fvck did he call her?! Babe?!’ He had just been away for a few days and there's already a new guy living with her?! Did she already dump that bastard Simon?! And her parents agreed to that?! He pursed his lips tightly. He couldn't fvcking believe it! His head was full of questions and the urge to confront all those to Margaux was strong. However, he tried his best to stay calm and suppressed his anger, knowing that the woman might kick him out immediately. “Why are you here? Aren't you in the Philippines?” Margaux scowled. Hendrix shifted his gaze back to the woman. His jaw ticked as his face darkened. He didn't like that she was questioning him. He should be the one doing that but still, he had to be the biggest person and stay calm in front of her. He read it on the internet. It says that w
“I don't need these,” Margaux said coldly and threw all those papers back to Hendrix. “Leave now before I call the security,” she immediately walked out, leaving him dumbfounded. He felt a hand on his shoulder followed by a few taps. “I think you should go. Margaux has one word,” Sue muttered before following the woman. Hendrix narrowed his eyes as he threw the guy with hs piercing gaze. He clenched his fists hard that he could already feel the liquid dripping from in. When he saw the butler coming to his direction, he quickly stood up and angrily marched to the exit.“Sir, you left something,” said the butler who immediately followed him. Clicking his tongue, he ignored the old man and continued walking to the exit without giving him a single glance. He flew all the way from the Philippines just to give her those papers. It was not his to take it with him again.With a sour mood, he immediately called for a taxi as soon as he got out of the gate, ignoring the security after taki
“Did you miss me?” Liana asked while smiling at him flirtatiously. Hendrix quickly removed her hands off him and gently pushed her away. His brows deeply furrowed as he gave her dark stares. “How did you know I'm here?” he queried sternly. Liana smiled widely at him, “It's just a wild guess. I just thought you would come here since this is the only place that let you check in..” she shrugged. “Then how did you know I'm back in the country?” he squinted his eyes towards the woman. Hendrix didn't forget Margaux's warning about Liana. And after what happened the last time, he couldn't trust the woman anymore. She's just the same as his former secretary who thought she could have him by manipulating the media and pretending to be his fianceè. “I'm here to take you to my hotel,” Liana said and tried to touch him. Putting his hands behind him, he quickly took a step back to avoid her advantages. He hadn't realized it before but now he was aware of it and won't let her do it again. “
