Eumerriah's Point of View"How's work?" Jayson asked."It's fine. Just getting used to it," I replied."I've told you, just let me work for us, for the kids," Jayson said with a convincing smile."You've made me feel useless. I know how to earn money, so let me. Besides, who are you anyway?" I asked him sharply."That attitude of yours! Hahaha, you're always so feisty. I'm just concerned about you and the kids," he said, laughing."Yeah, yeah. I know, you don't have to keep repeating it," I teased.For almost six years, he’s been there for me and the kids. He’s been my partner in everything, even though I didn’t let him at first. It took him a long time to convince me. Honestly, I didn’t want any connection with Gabrielle’s family or those close to him. I didn’t want any trouble, especially since he's happy with his own family now."I’ve already told you, I’m not expecting anything in return. I just want to be with you, to see you. I’ve grown attached to the kids, so stop pushing me
Eumerriah’s Point of View“When is my next shoot?” I asked Manager Kim. He’s here at the house again, saying he’s done with office work. His other artists are currently at their tapings with their respective PAs, so he has no other tasks to do.“There’s an offer for you, but I’m not sure if you’d want to accept it,” he replied while on his phone.“Why? What’s the problem with it?” I asked him.“The PR team of the company owned by Gabrielle’s wife wants to hire you,” he said simply.“I need work, and it’s not like they personally chose me, right?” He nodded. “Then go ahead. I’m a professional, so there won’t be any problems.”“We’ll just sign the contract tomorrow.”“Mommy, Kuya Justine is teasing me,” Dustine said, running to me.“What? What?” I hugged Dustine as Justine followed closely behind.“Didn’t I tell you not to run? The tiles are too slippery; you might get hurt or bump your heads.”“Dustine won’t get hurt; he’ll just bounce,” Justine teased.I wasn’t sure whether to laugh o
**Eumerriah’s Point of View**I woke up early because I needed to get ready at the office before heading to the main building of the Hernandez Group of Company. I had researched that this company is owned by Kristine and her husband.“Good morning,” I greeted various crew and staff in Manager Kim's agency building. “Where’s Manager Kim?” I asked since he wasn’t in his office. I went straight to my glam team. I didn’t hire a P.A. because I don’t accept jobs that consume too much of my time. I’m fine with commercials that only take eight to twelve hours. That way, I still have time to bond with the kids every day. The glam team is enough to handle my clothes, makeup, and shoes.“We haven’t seen him since last night. He left early,” one of his crew members answered. I just smiled, knowing where he was last night.“He’s here,” someone said. Everyone who had been talking or sitting around doing nothing returned to their work and fell silent. I raised an eyebrow. This was the first time I w
Gabrielle's Point of View"My secretary informed me that Jerome backed out for the sake of the company’s image. The company's anniversary is approaching, and there are many events planned as part of the celebration, one of which includes introducing a new face.""They're looking for a replacement who will match well with Ms. Eumerriah," she added, surprising me."What do you mean? They chose Eumerriah?" I asked, still trying to process the information.My secretary nodded. "Yes, sir. The public's response to her return to the industry has been very positive. Many people missed her pairing with Jerome. You didn’t know?" I shook my head."It seems that bringing back old models will enhance the company's image. Our products and services would gain more attention," she explained further."But what if Eumerriah doesn't have a partner? Will the shoot still proceed?" I inquired."I'm not sure, but I know that you, Ma'am Kristine, and your daughter are expected to be there," she replied. I kn
### Eumerriah's Point of View"Why? What did she say?" Manager Kim asked immediately after we finished talking."She didn’t say anything good.""Of course not! That woman is furious with you. Do you think she'd have anything nice to say? If she didn’t need you here, she might have gone wild and pulled your hair out," Manager Kim said irritably.**FLASHBACK**“Oh, don’t you know who the CEO of the Hernandez Group of Company is?” she asked. “I know who he is, but didn’t you hire my partner?”“Actually, your supposed partner backed out. Since we also need your picture with the owner, we decided that Sir Gabrielle would be your partner instead.” What?“Why? Do you have a problem with that? Are you scared?” I looked at the beautiful woman who had just entered the studio room.Based on her appearance and clothing, she held a high position in the company, but why did it seem like she knew me?"Good morning, Ms. Kristine." Some of the staff bowed to her. So, she was the Kristine I knew. I l
**Eumerriah’s Point of View**“Our work today went smoothly. Good job, everyone. Great job, Yumi,” Manager Kim smiled at me, even resting her head on my shoulder. I just smiled back at her. We were already inside the van with the whole crew. I don't let them treat me like a VIP. I don't want to go back to the old me, the one no one could even touch.When I was in the U.S., I tried reviewing all my interviews, videos, and movies I had made. That’s when I realized I had been overly pampered by everyone. Because of that, I couldn’t do many things by myself when I was left alone and became a mother."Where should we drop you off? Are you going straight home?" Manager Kim asked. I was already a bit tired and sleepy, but I had already told Mommy that I would visit today. I was also worried that the next few days would get busier with work, so I might not be able to visit them. “Just at the corner, I'll pick up my stuff tomorrow with our driver, or if you have time, you can drop them off,” I
**Eumerriah's Point of View**I am confused and speechless. I don’t know what I should say to them. I can’t directly tell Mommy that I don’t want to, but I also can’t accept this.Apart from my fear of how my child will live under their care, I’m also worried that they won’t accept my obligation to Shaira. I promised that wherever I go, Shaira and Justine will be with me. I can’t leave them, especially now that Shaira is just starting to recover from the sadness and hardship she’s been through.Shaira still has her parents. They would accept her at any time, but she doesn’t want to be a burden to them. She wants to live alone, even though she knows she really can’t."Dear, please. I don’t want to see your father struggling to fight for the company. Many people want to push him out because there’s no heir." Mommy holds my hand tightly."...But Mom, I don’t know anything about running that business," I reasoned."I have a legal team that can help you. I’ll teach you myself; I’ll help yo
Eumerriah's Point of View"Let's talk! Let's have a proper conversation!"It's probably time to talk to him about our company. I don't know if it's worth it, but I thought maybe he could help us with some things."About what?" he asked curiously."About the company!" I answered simply."I don't want to! Get out of the car. I'm not interested in working. It's not working hours." Annoying."What do you want to talk about then?""Really? We’ll talk about what I want?" he repeated."Yes, but on one condition! You have to answer all my questions about the company!" He just shrugged."I’ll answer based on what I know. Okay, where do you want to talk?" he asked."Somewhere quiet, just the two of us," I answered.Even though I was exhausted, I still managed to do this. This day has been so tiring, but what can I do? This might be my only chance, and tomorrow might be too late.I thought I should ask Gabrielle what his parents were planning. Why do they want to take over our company? Or if wha
