CEO Jerry paced about in his office at first before he walked up to his large desk and sat down. Thinking for a while, he knew that he had some clients waiting who wanted to meet with him.He clicked impatiently on his desk, and he picked up his office phone and called Mrs. Aria's office. "Send your assistant into my office to see me," he said in a cold voice.Mrs. Aria was taken aback by his order, as she had thought that he wanted to say, "Send the clients into my office.""Boss, do you mean my assistant or the clients who are waiting?" Mrs. Aria nervously asked him, and the office line went silent for a while before she heard him say, "You heard me clearly, didn't you? Send your assistant first; I would like to speak with her, and don't ask me again."The call disconnected, and Mrs. Aria gulped as she tilted her head and stared towards Nancy's desk.Nancy smiled at her, and she wondered why Mrs. Aria was staring at her."Miss Sophia, the boss requests that you see him now," Mrs. Ar
After Nancy was through with her meal, she went back to her office and decided to ignore all those who were jealous of her, as she couldn't quit her job. She didn't want to stoop so low as to their level of toxicity and quarrel with them. She was glad that Mrs. Aria wasn't a jealous woman, perhaps because Mrs. Aria was a married woman and didn't have the time to be jealous of her fellow single ladies."How are you feeling now?" Mrs. Aria asked Nancy, just as Nancy settled into her office chair, which was in the same glass office as Mrs. Aria's"I'm a lot better now, thanks," Nancy replied with a smile."You're welcome," Mrs. Aria smiled back at her."Here are the remaining files that you need to work on, as I have worked on the previous files. Probably next week, I will teach you how to upload the new files to our computer," Mrs. Aria said, and Nancy only replied, "Okay."Nancy collected the files from Mrs. Aria's desk, and this time, she was faster with her work.After she was throug
Nancy smiled and walked back into her room. She couldn't believe that Mr. Tobe would truly invite her for a treat and introduce her to another lovely meal that they had in the restaurant.She usually saw all those meals online, but she was used to fried meals, mostly because she didn't want to eat anything that would ruin her stomach and cause her to have a running stomach. Especially not now that she was going to work every day.Nancy smiled and locked her parlour door, glad that Mr. Tobe cared for her.She went to her kitchen and brought out a flat plate and a spoon, and she took out a cold drink from the new beverages that she had bought and stored in her fridge. Then she walked back to her parlour to enjoy herself.Nancy picked up her television remote and switched on the television, setting the channel to a romance movie station.It was a seasonal movie, and they were showing the moment the female lead was being humiliated by her bridegroom's family.Nancy loved the movie and got
Mrs. Aria smiled as she was a senior staff member. She was dressed in a black coat over a white inner top, wearing a black straight skirt and white shoes."Welcome, Sophia," she greeted Nancy, who usually arrived by 7:30 a.m., before the company's starting time of 8 a.m."Good morning," Nancy replied, wondering if she had arrived late."Am I late?" Nancy asked, flashing Mrs. Aria a beautiful smile."No dear, just a minute to go. But even if you arrive late, it's only a deduction in your monthly income and not like you will be fired," Mrs. Aria said to her, and Nancy smiled at her in relief."Thanks for the info," Nancy said."You're welcome. I can see that you're looking better today," Mrs. Aria commented on Nancy's simple look and bright face, and Nancy replied, "Thank you."Nancy arranged her seat properly, knowing that the cleaners working in the company usually cleaned all the office seats and desks before the staff arrived. However, she took out her own duster to wipe her seat cle
Nancy didn’t know that CEO Jerry wasn’t even eating his own lunch yet. She was so engrossed in her food that she didn’t realize he was watching her.It wasn’t until she wanted to eat her fried chicken leg that she saw him staring at her, and he hadn’t even taken a spoonful of the meal in his hand yet.Nancy became shy and wondered why he hadn’t started eating. She asked him, "Is anything wrong?"CEO Jerry smiled kindly at her and replied, "No, actually. I love the way you eat your meal—so elegantly.""Mmm," Nancy smiled and muttered, "Thank you."Using her fork and knife, Nancy sliced the chicken elegantly and ate it. She loved food, so she was always focused when eating and usually didn’t talk while eating.CEO Jerry finally resumed eating his meal, noticing that they still had about 30 minutes left in their lunch period, and he ate his meal exquisitely too.Nancy finished her meal first, opting for a bottle of water instead of the drinks set on the table. She drank from the bottle as
Mrs. Aria could not believe what Nancy said about not being interested in CEO Jerry. She assumed that Nancy was either just pretending or showing off, especially since Nancy was cute. She already knew that either Nancy was trying to win over CEO Jerry or that CEO Jerry was interested in Nancy because of her beauty.Mrs. Aria decided to mind her own business for the rest of the day.***After Jeffery Holdings closed at 6 p.m., Nancy stood up from her office seat, packed her handbag, and prepared to leave for home."Goodbye, ma," Nancy said to Mrs. Aria, who was also packing her handbag to leave."Yeah, Sophia, goodbye," Mrs. Aria replied with a smile as she watched Nancy walk away.As Nancy exited the company building, she saw Henry arrive in his car. He parked ahead and waved for her to come over.Nancy walked over to where Henry had parked outside the company gate and greeted him, "Good evening.""Good evening, Sophia. I arrived on time, but the road was busy," Henry said. Nancy smil
Mr. Tobe was also leaving the restaurant as he wanted to make his way out to deliver meals to other customers who had ordered their meals online. He met Nancy as she walked in to find a seat."Oh, Miss Sophia, I wasn't expecting to see you here," he smiled at her, and she returned his smile."Good evening. It seems the restaurant is full. I decided to stop by and have my dinner here instead of ordering it at home, as I feel Jeffery Holdings isn't far from here," Nancy said. Tobe smiled at her and replied, "Of course. There are still a lot of empty seats over there; go to that section."He pointed to some rows of empty seats ahead, and Nancy smiled back at him, saying, "Thank you. But I will be here tomorrow, so you can give me a good treat.""Surely, I will be expecting your visit," Mr. Tobe said with a broad smile on his face before he walked away.Nancy made her way toward the available empty seats and noticed that more customers were arriving at the popular restaurant.Soon, a waitr
Mr. and Mrs. Alejandro frowned, and his father spoke, "It's okay, Charles. Your mother only wants what's best for you.""Hmm..." Charles didn’t counter what his father said and remained quiet."You know, with what that young lady did, we still need the media to clear up the fact that you have nothing to do with the Marlon family anymore, and you're also no longer interested in their daughter either. Your mother and I have discussed this, and I think it’s the best decision for now," President Nolan said as Charles met his gaze."I know, Dad, but I cannot cancel my trip. Arya will have to wait, or she can spend some time here with Mother, and when I'm finally back, we can meet."Charles didn’t want to refute the fact that he wasn’t interested in Arya or getting to know her, to avoid raising his parents' suspicions. After a while, his father asked, "So when will you be back?"Charles was silent for a moment. Although he told his parents that he was going to spend some time with his grandm
The following morning in Logan Marlon Residence, Charles stayed with Nancy in her bedroom and did not want to go back home to his family house again. He assisted Nancy in going for her weekly medical checkup, and Senator Logan and his wife didn't complain; they only smiled at Nancy and Charles.Over the weekend, after spending a full week in Nancy's family house, Charles finally spoke to Nancy's parents in the living room. He told them that he would be taking Nancy with him to his family house after registering their marriage the previous day.Senator Logan didn't protest; he was rather happy that Nancy and Charles were together. He blessed their union and said, "I'm glad that my daughter is with you, as it's what I wanted from the very beginning. May the Gods of our land continue to be with you both and bless you with beautiful children.""Amen," Charles and Nancy agreed and finally left the mansion. Mrs. Olivia stood outside the house, emotionally hugging her daughter as she didn't w
Nancy looked up at Charles' face in disbelief and told him, "You are lying to me. I saw photos of you and Arya together.""No, we are not married, and seriously I have sent her away. I only took those photos because of my mother, and Arya had the audacity to publish them with captions like 'My husband and I,' but I'm not her husband, and I never touched her. Believe me."Charles cupped Nancy's face with both palms, and it seemed to Nancy and Charles that they had totally forgotten that Nancy's parents were still in the living room watching them too."I'm sorry," Charles apologized to Nancy again, and he kissed her on the lips, while Senator Logan and his wife gasped in surprise, looking at each other unbelievably.Senator Logan couldn't believe that Nancy was truly pregnant with Charles' child. He hadn't asked about the pregnancy before because he didn't want his only daughter to run away from him again. It made no sense to him that he was caring for orphanage children and other poor f
"Open the gate, I'm a delivery man sent here to deliver this package to Nancy Marlon. Is she inside?" Charles asked the two security men that stood outside the huge black gate and stared at him suspiciously. One of the two security men replied, "Bring the package here, and we will examine it and have it delivered to Lady Nancy.""No, as I'm to deliver it to Nancy directly, just tell her that her Sunday is here to see her," Charles said with a serious look on his face. However, the two stubborn security men refused to move as they insisted on seeing the package first.Charles was angry that the two security men were wasting his time, but he knew they were only doing their jobs. He brought out the food flask and showed the content to the two security men, and they finally allowed him inside after seeing his cold, frightening aura.Charles parked his bike at the frontage of Nancy's parents' mansion, and he was nervous as he stepped down from the bike and walked up to press the doorbell...
Nancy walked into her bedroom and it was neatly arranged and tidy as if she hadn't left the city before. She sighed and walked up to the bed to sit as she was very tired.She thought of telling her family the truth that she had a relationship with a man she was in love with in City X. She knew her parents would be mad at her.Not wanting to spoil their already happy mood upon seeing that she had finally returned to the city, Nancy decided not to tell her parents yet about her pregnancy. After her bath in the bathroom, she went downstairs to have dinner with her parents.Mrs. Olivia Marlon could visibly see through the light nightgown that Nancy wore that Nancy looked pregnant. But she didn't want to ask her daughter about the man her only daughter got involved with in City X.Nancy sat on the dining seat made available for her, and after her dinner with her parents ended, she stood up from the dining seat and bid her parents good night. They kept staring at her, and she finally went ba
Charles heard from Stevo that Nancy had left the house she was living in with him and had gone back to her grandmother's house. He felt very emotional about it and realized that he had lied to Nancy about his true self. She was blinded by her love for him and couldn't see that he was Charles Alejandro.Charles was in his hotel when he received a report from his men that Arya Lucian had been monitoring Nancy's family phone calls and had found out that Nancy was on her way back to AJ City.Charles immediately left his hotel and went back home to the presidential villa. He had been away from home and didn't want to see Arya or his parents, only showing up for functional events.Upon arriving at the white house, Charles immediately grabbed Arya by her right hand as she sat on the couch with his mother. Arya had been smiling sheepishly, knowing the evil plot she had arranged for Nancy's return.Seeing Charles storm into the sitting room, where she was with First Lady Kira, Charles grabbed A
Nancy was finished mopping the seventh floor when CEO Jerry stepped out of the elevator and walked into the hallway to meet her."Well, well, well, Sophia, I can see that you really choose to suffer instead of agreeing to my terms and becoming my woman," CEO Jerry looked at Nancy angrily as she wiped her lips and stared up at his face."I already told you that we cannot date," Nancy replied, wiping her lips again, feeling the urge to spit out."I don't love you or want to be in any dual relationship with you. I still love Sunday, and I believe he will be back soon," Nancy said, and CEO Jerry laughed scornfully."Be back soon indeed. Sunday isn't coming back here; he's already married, and it's a pity that you choose not to believe that he's Charles Alejandro. But he's Charles, and he isn't going to come back soon. So just forget about him," CEO Jerry scoffed.Nancy didn't say a word, and as she wanted to walk away with her mopping bucket, CEO Jerry grabbed her hand and turned her aroun
Nancy left CEO Jerry's office sadly and went back to the Human Resources office to meet with Mr. Brian, as it felt like she was starting her work all over again in the luxurious company. And from their terms and agreement, her monthly income was still the same, but only that she was now a cleaner in the company. Having to sweep the company premises, staff offices, and wash the company's dirty toilets too, alongside other cleaners that the company had before.Nancy felt it was all a joke, and she couldn't tell her grandmother that she had been subjected to work as a cleaner in Jeffery Holdings.Her pretty blue eyes welled up in tears as she was given a new vest to wear to signify that she was now a cleaner in Jeffery Holdings.Most of the staff working on the fourth floor stared at Nancy sadly, and they wondered what she did wrong that would warrant CEO Jerry to demote her to a servant level in Jeffery Holdings.Some whispered, "I thought they said she's dating the CEO.""She's too pret
Nancy's heart broke into pieces as she truly saw that Charles Alejandro is Sunday. She shook her head and screamed out, "No!! I cannot accept this. Charles is not Sunday, Sunday is not Charles.""It's okay, Miss Sophia. I will give you some time to get over Sunday, and hopefully by next week, you can give me your response if you still want to date me or not. That will determine my next course of action," CEO Jerry said as he kept his phone back into his trouser side pocket. He walked away and said, "Bye Sophia. You know that I'm already used to calling you Sophia. Take care and think about my proposal to you. You wouldn't want me to reveal your true identity to my sister, right? The choice is all yours to make."Nancy stood silently and watched CEO Jerry finally walk away from her.Nancy broke down in tears in the hall and finally went back home. She couldn't believe that she had been with Charles all this time, had an affair with Charles, kissed Charles, and even hosted him in her bed
"Hello Sophia," CEO Jerry spoke first, and Nancy replied, "Hi, good morning.""Good morning, how are you doing today? Hope I didn't wake you up from sleep?" CEO Jerry asked. Nancy replied, "No, sir.""Okay, so when can we meet today? Or do you want me to come to your house?" CEO Jerry asked. Nancy replied, "No, sir, I will come to see you in the afternoon.""Okay Sophia, I will be expecting you," CEO Jerry said, and the phone call finally ended.Nancy sighed after her phone call with CEO Jerry ended. She looked at the phone screen for a while and finally went to put it away.Nancy went to prepare her breakfast and after she was through with her day's work.Later in the afternoon, Nancy contacted CEO Jerry to send the location of where he wanted her to meet with him. She left her house and went to the location.When Nancy got to the restaurant first, CEO Jerry arrived and told her that he needed a private place to discuss with her and to show her the photo evidence that Sunday is preten
