last update Last Updated: 2023-10-24 07:03:23
Mrs. Aria could not believe what Nancy said about not being interested in CEO Jerry. She assumed that probably Nancy was only just forming or showing off since Nancy was cute.

She already knew it was either Nancy who was after CEO Jerry to make CEO Jerry fall for her.

Or CEO Jerry too was after Nancy, as she was very beautiful.

Mrs Aria decided to mind her business for the rest of the day.

After Jeffrey Holdings closed by 6 pm.

Nancy stood up from her office seat and she backpacked her handbag to leave for home.

"Bye ma," Nancy said to Mrs Aria who was also packing up her handbag to leave.

"Yeah Sophia, bye," Mrs Aria replied with a smile and she watched Nancy walk away.

Nancy was out from the company building, and just then, she saw Henry arrive in his car and he parked ahead and waved to her to come.

Nancy walked over to where he had packed outside of the company gate, and she greeted him, "Good evening"

"Good evening Sophia, I arrived on time due to the road was busy," Henry said,

    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, and 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 Nancy, and she smiled back at him."Good evening, it seems the restaurant is filled. I just 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, and Tobe smiled at her, "Of course. There are still a lot of empty seats there, go over to that section."He pointed to some rows of empty seats ahead, and Nancy smiled at him and replied, "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, and he finally walked away.Nancy smiled and made her way towards the empty seats that were available, and she saw that more customers were arriving at the

    Mr. and Mrs. Alejandro frowned, and his father finally spoke, "It's okay, Charles, besides, your mother only wants the best for you.""Hmm...," Charles didn't counter what his father said and he kept 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 again, and you're also no longer interested in their daughter either. Like your mother has discussed this with me and I think it's the best decision for now," President Nolan spoke, and Charles met his gaze."I know, dad, but I cannot cancel my trip. Arya will have to wait, or she can as well spend some time here with mother, and when I'm finally back, we can get to meet."Charles didn't want to refute the fact that he wasn't interested in Arya or getting to know her, so as not to raise his parents' suspicion. After a while, his father asked him, "So when will you be back?"Charles was silent for a while, and although he told his parents that he w

    Charles was dumbfounded; it had been a long time since he visited Grandma Madison, and he was still 20 years old, a young guy then."Ma..." Charles was unable to speak, but Allison quickly interfered."Mama, that silly young lady rejected brother at the altar, and she dared to dump him too," Allison said."Why, Charles... what did you do to wrong her?" Grandma Madison asked Charles, as she stared at her handsome grandson's face. She had always known that Charles was stubborn and very fond of women."I didn't wrong her, Mama, and I promise to bring her back," Charles said. He could see his grandma smile at him and she replied, "Okay. I will be expecting to see her.""Okay, Mama," Charles stood up, but Allison quickly asked him, "Are you serious, brother?""About what?" Charles pretended and asked her. She gulped and stared back at her two cousin sisters who were crushing on Charles, as he was so tall and masculine. She asked, "Are you serious about bringing the lady that dumped you at t

    "Hmm.. To teach her a lesson," Edgar nonchalantly replied, as he wasn't afraid of Charles, even as Charles emitted a more deadly aura that could send one scurrying away."Don't you dare to harm her.. I really do love her and I'm serious about finding her," Charles said as he looked at Nancy's photo with love. Edgar only shook his head and turned away to leave as he despised women, except for his younger sister and family."I'm sorry, brother, but I cannot help you find her," he remarked."Edgar.." Charles called him back just as he was about to leave."I know that you can help me find her, please.."Edgar shook his head in rejection as he wouldn't be a part of the search for the silly lady who dared to dump his brother. He replied sternly, "No, brother, and to hell with that silly lady. I cannot help you find her.""Hmm.." Charles stood silently and watched Edgar walk away.He knew that no one would support him to get back the same lady who dared to reject him, but he seriously loved N

    Nancy's phone rang again, and she immediately picked up the call, as she was nervous and wondering who was calling her."Hello," she spoke first, as she listened to the voice that spoke to her, "Hi Sophia.. How are you doing?""I'm fine, who am I speaking with, please?" Nancy nervously asked, as she couldn't recognize the male voice, and she knew the person wasn't Henry, as she had seen him not quite long ago."It's me, CEO Jerry, or what do you usually call me?"Nancy gasped, "Oh! I'm sorry," and she immediately apologized, "I didn't know that you're the one.""It's okay. I can understand," CEO Jerry replied, and Nancy said, "Okay.""So what are you up to today, as you know that today is a free day from office work?" CEO Jerry asked her."I'm fine and in my room," Nancy replied."Hmm, okay," CEO Jerry hummed."How about you?" Nancy asked him, and he replied, "I'm at home too, and in my house actually. Do you want to come and visit me?""No.. I mean, I am just asking," Nancy's cheeks i

    Mr. Henry stood on his balcony upstairs and frowned when he saw Mr. Tobe arrive, and he overheard their conversation too.He sighed, knowing that he could not tell Nancy the truth that he likes her.

His blue eyes were fixed on her, but he couldn't invite her over to his table in the private section of the rest

    "What's up? What are you ladies all staring at? And where are you all taking Grandma to?" Charles asked them, as they were still standing inside the elevator that the door had long pulled open, and he stepped aside for them to step out, but they still stood in the elevator and stared at him."Brother, you look so hot. Where are you going to?" Allison finally asked him. As she immediately moved away from wheeling Grandma's wheelchair out, but Charles stopped her and said, "Focus on your job first. I have to go upstairs and take my bath.""Grandma, how are you feeling this afternoon?" Charles asked Grandma Madison, and she smiled at him and replied, "I'm good, Charles."Grandma did not usually speak too many words. They finally stepped out of the elevator. While Charles walked in, he automatically pressed the door to shut, and he went up to his bedroom on the second floor.Walter's Villa is a magnificent two-story building mansion.

And she felt her breathing seized for a moment, as she continued to stare at him, and she wondered if she was not dreaming.As she could feel her heart beat accelerated so loud in her chest, as the man looked so much like Charles."What's wrong?" Mr. Tobe asked her, as he stared towards the direction that she was staring at.And he could see a lot of customers that walked into the restaurant, but he did not know who among them that Nancy was staring at.Nancy didn't respond to Mr. Tobe's question to her, as she felt the tall black-skinned man resembles Charles, and as she felt him stare towards her direction and meet her eyes.Her cheeks immediately flamed red while she immediately stared downward t

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.

    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 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

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.
