“Can you help me?” Victoria bit her lip as she stared at Jackson in a daze. In fact, she stood on tiptoe, and in the next second, she caught Jackson by surprise, and kissed him. Jackson felt electrified by her kiss, and his eyes instantly went completely dark. This woman's kiss was extremely wonderful. After she kissed Jackson, he couldn't resist her provocations, so their roles were reversed and he took the initiative to kiss her. He kissed her uncontrollably and couldn't stop. Jackson suddenly came out of his daze. This woman had once planned to trick him into sleeping with her, so how could he want her? Jackson immediately pushed her aside, and he quickly bent down to carry her into the bathroom, and then, he put her in the bathtub, and opened the water, in an attempt to wake her up. In an instant, hot water came out of the shower tap, and Victoria thought for a moment that it was raining. After she had calmed down, he turned off the tap and realized that she was sleeping pe
Victoria rushed home after changing, and saw on her phone that there were several missed messages and calls from Valentina. Since she fainted yesterday, she hadn't replied to Valen once, so surely she was very worried. Victoria arrived at the apartment and picked up the house keys. When she entered, she saw Valentina playing with the children. “My child, where were you?” When Valentina saw Victória coming through the door, she quickly pulled her hand away to see how her niece was. “I called you so many times, but you didn't answer, let alone come back. I was so worried yesterday.”“I'm fine, auntie.” Victoria tried to calm her down. “If you didn't come home today, I was going to call the police.” Valentina replied. “I'm sorry auntie, I had to meet some clients last night, and I was discussing some projects until late at night...” Victoria rarely lied to her aunt, but today, she had no choice. “And my boss didn't like me fiddling with my cell phone during meetings, so I couldn't an
"Alright, then, let’s ask Soraya,” Lisa replied as they walked toward the reception desk. "Soraya, did you hand over my package to Miss Lazer?” Since Soraya was Lisa’s friend, she naturally went along with her friend’s plan. "What are you talking about, Lisa? Why would I give your package to someone else?” Victoria stared at Soraya and Lisa in shock. At that moment, she deeply regretted being careless with Lisa. How was she supposed to clear her name now? "So, you’re a thief!" Lisa accused Victoria in front of everyone. "JB Digital values its reputation, which is why we only hire honest people. How dare you ruin our reputation?” Lisa made it seem as though Victoria was genuinely a thief. However, Victoria was completely innocent and unwilling to stand by silently while being accused of stealing something she had never touched. If she didn’t fight back quickly, this would continue, and she’d never find peace. "I didn’t take it, and I don’t know what you arranged with Sora
“Mr. Lazaro, I don't need an apology, I just hope that in the future, no one will accuse me for no reason from now on.”Victoria didn't want the problem to escalate, so she just turned to Lazaro. “Thank you, Mr. Lazaro.”Lazaro had shown up at just the right moment to help her, and if it hadn't been for him, what would have happened? “No need to thank me, Victória!” Lazaro replied, he loved hearing that sweet voice. It was like music to his ears. “Before I leave, I just want to make it clear to everyone in this company that Victória Lazer is a great friend, and if anyone dares to mess with her, I'll have to take it personally, and it certainly won't be nice!”Lazaro spoke staring at everyone, and this made everyone a little surprised, and they made a mental note not to pick on Victoria. Lisa, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed that she was to blame, and continued biting her lip without saying a word. “That's enough of a show, everyone back to work immediately.” Now that
After Lisa accused Victoria of theft, her afternoon was peaceful. And Victoria worked quietly, and with that, finished all the work that was on hold, until Jayric approached her with a briefcase. He was probably feeling guilty about yesterday, so he wanted to make it up to her with an important client. And even though it really was a great opportunity, Victoria didn't know how to respond. Since Jayric had come looking for her just in time to leave. And every day since it started, she had been arriving extremely late, so she barely got to spend any time with her babies. What's more, the children were on frozen milk, as she hadn't decided whether to switch to formula. However, she wanted to work, because every time she took on a client and delivered the order, she was guaranteed a commission, and this extra money could be used to pay a lawyer, who would file a lawsuit to review her mother's inheritance. But the memory of her children destroyed her inside, because she didn't know wh
After hanging up the call, Victória quickly made her way to her client's house. After arriving at the entrance to the mansion, which was huge, she had to identify herself to the guard, and only after confirming her identity could she enter, and Soraya was already waiting for her. After walking for about 10 minutes, since the entrance to the mansion was completely away from the street entrance, she finally reached the front door, and shortly afterwards, the door was opened. A butler examined Victoria from top to bottom. “Are you an employee of JB Digital?” “Yes, I'm a designer and stylist at the company.” Victoria said, introducing herself. “Welcome to Madame Soraya's house, please, this way!” Without asking any more questions, he showed her the way to the house. As soon as Victória entered the house, she began to admire the designer of the place, it was all very rustic and old. She had always thought that houses of this standard would be extremely modern and extravagant, but in
"Mr. Rey, I’d like your employee Victória to stay for dinner with me. Would that be a problem?" Soraya said as soon as she heard the “hello” on the other end.Initially, when Jayric received Soraya’s call, he thought Victória had made a mistake. But contrary to his initial concern, it was simply because Soraya wanted Victória to stay for dinner at her house. Yet, recalling the previous night, Jayric was certain Victória wouldn’t want to."Madam, it’s against company policy for me to grant your request..." Before Jayric could finish his sentence, Soraya interrupted him."I’m the most important client you have, and your employee can’t stay for a better dinner?"When Soraya said this, Jayric had to admit she was right. Soraya was indeed the company’s most important and VIP client."You’re absolutely right, Madam. Please let Victória know she can join you for dinner."After Soraya hung up the call, she smiled at Victória."Miss Lazer, your superior has agreed for you to stay for dinner."
“Ms. Lazer, do you like this kind of food?” Soraya asked after sitting down at the table. “The food looks great! “Victoria nodded. “I'm happy with it! “Soraya couldn't help looking at the young people in front of her, they seemed the perfect match for each other. Victoria was certainly a polite and sweet young woman. And Soraya had a gift, which was to examine the people around her, and she soon realized that Victoria was not a pretentious person, and in her attitudes, she was an honest person. In other words, she was perfect, even if she didn't come from a wealthy family. “Grandma, didn't she say she had an appointment? Then let's start dinner! “Jackson didn't share his grandmother's enthusiasm for keeping Victoria here. Ever since the events that happened two years ago, he hadn't been able to trust her completely. “Oh yes. You're right, I almost completely forgot about that.” Soraya laughed. “Ms. Lazer, let's eat!”“Of course!” Victoria nodded, picked up her cutlery and began
“Well, thank you for thinking of her, President Carson. As you can see, she's fine, so can you go now?” said Victoria.Jackson didn't seem to be in any hurry to go, in fact, he gave her a long look before changing the subject without any warning. “And how was your meeting with Mr. Spector?” he asked over dinner, and Victoria frowned. What was wrong with the man? Why had he mentioned it?“That's none of your business, President Carson,” replied Victoria, struggling fiercely to free herself. “I won't agree to another DNA test. It's inappropriate and disrespectful to my cousin, after all, they are her children.”No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't free herself from the man's grip, and Jackson simply laughed softly. He seemed to be tickled.“Your cousin is the mother, and your cousin is the father? Right!” Jackson tightened his grip on the young woman. “So why do his children look so much like me?” His warm breath hit Victoria's cheeks like waves of heat. Victoria couldn't m
The twins immediately stood up and started waving their chubby little arms. Victoria ignored the twinge of pain in her chest, walked past her angels and pulled Jackson up from the floor. “President Carson, can we step outside for a minute, please?” Then she turned to her children, they looked ready to throw their little bodies at her, but she pushed down the anguish growing inside her. “Enzo, Lara, your aunt needs to go out for a minute. I'll be back before you know it, okay?” She didn't give Enzo or Lara time to react to what she had just said, and instead, she dragged Jackson out of the apartment immediately, and soon after, Valentina ran towards the children and hugged them. “Enzo, Lara, have you forgotten what Mommy said earlier?” Enzo looked totally clueless. Lara was equally perplexed. She had no idea what Valentina was talking about. “Don't you remember what Mommy told you?” Valentina said patiently. “She told you to call her 'auntie' when Jackson is around. If
“Don't panic. Keep him busy. I'm coming back now.”Victoria hung up immediately and then turned to Harvey with an apologetic look on her face. “I'm sorry, Harvey, there's been an emergency at home, and I need to get back now. I'm so sorry. I can't believe I'm letting you finish dinner alone...”Harvey was not a stingy man and he knew he couldn't keep Victoria there when she clearly had an emergency to attend to. He knew that Victoria wasn't lying. He had heard parts of the conversation before. He knew that something terrible had happened. “Don't worry about it, Victoria. Let me give you a ride.” The man rubbed his lips lightly with his napkin before getting up, but Victória wasn't going to bother him for a ride.She was leaving in the middle of dinner. That alone made her feel terrible enough. She shook her head apologetically. “Thanks for the offer, Harvey. I can go home on my own, don't worry, but I'm really sorry. I'll buy you dinner another time.”Victoria seemed insistent, and
Meanwhile, outside the Village, Jackson had collected his car keys and was going to pay a visit to Valentina's apartment to see Lara and Enzo. Before leaving the restaurant, he called Maison, who was supposed to come to the restaurant now and wait outside. “If Harvey doesn't give Victoria a lift home after dinner, you'll take her home,” Jackson instructed. Having given his orders, he started the car and headed towards Victoria's apartment.He stopped at a shopping center and bought some expensive toys that he knew were extremely popular with children. He hadn't seen Lara since her attempted kidnapping. “I guess I should stop by and see if she's recovered from the incident,” he thought. It had been a long time since he had cared for someone, and the girl seemed like part of his family. The results of the DNA report said otherwise, but his instincts told him that she was his daughter. “I'm going to do another DNA test. If the results remain unchanged, I'll give up,” he decided. Thi
Was this Noemia's plan all along? Was Noemia trying to set her up with Noemia's cousin?No matter how strange the atmosphere, they had to get through dinner somehow, and Victoria needed Harvey's help, and the man agreed to help her. She couldn't get up and let him dine alone, so she put aside her feelings of embarrassment and started browsing the menu before placing her order.Harvey filled his glass with red wine and studied Victoria in silence as he swirled the wine in his hand. He had met countless beautiful people in his line of work. However, few were as beautiful as Victoria. He was overcome by the urge to have her as soon as his eyes landed on her, and it had been some time since Harvey had met a woman as attractive as Victoria.The man silently admired Victoria's beauty. Meanwhile, Victoria had no idea that she was the object of the man's appreciative gaze, and she placed her orders and handed the menu back to Harvey.“I've already ordered,&
The man smiled faintly before slamming his foot on the gas pedal.The car left Valentina's apartment and drove down the street, neither of them speaking during the journey, the car filled with a tense silence. A silence that was punctuated by their breathing, and there was something terribly suggestive about it all.Victoria tried to stop staring at the man, and turned and looked out of the window at the lights streaming past her. The gears in her head began to turn furiously. How was she going to get rid of Jackson? Should she tell him to leave her alone? Maybe she should ask him to join them, but the latter option didn't seem appropriate.She was having dinner with Noemia's cousin because she needed his help as a lawyer, and she wasn't really going on a date. What was she supposed to do? Victoria couldn't think of a solution, no matter how hard she tried, and they were going to get to the restaurant soon.“Don't worry, I'm not having dinner with you. I'm not interested in becoming t
The young woman went to the elevator and pressed the button next to it, heading for the lobby. Noemia wanted to give her a ride to the restaurant, but something came up unexpectedly, and she wouldn't be able to do it for dinner. She texted Victoria the address of the restaurant and told her to call a cab, and she would pay for the ride.Victoria didn't want to be late for her first meeting with a lawyer, so she rushed to the entrance. Perhaps she was in too much of a hurry and didn't pay much attention to the man coming towards her, smoking a cigarette. The moment their shoulders brushed, the man reached out and grabbed Victoria by the wrist, pulling her towards him.Victoria fell heavily against his firm chest.“Where are you going dressed so nice at night? Is it a date?” The young woman heard a low, husky voice in her ear.There was a clear possessive note in the man's voice, who spoke as if he owned Victoria. At that moment, the young woman instantly raised her head, her eyelids tw
“I'm doing this for Jackson's sake.” Mattew's lips curved into a smile. “You want him to be happy too, don't you? So think of a way to get her to join us for the trip.”“But maybe she really doesn't want to,” Samanta replied thoughtfully. “She doesn't seem to like Jackson.”“That's why he's interested in her. He wouldn't be if she was throwing herself at him,” said Mattew before tossing the card in his hand onto the table.“Men are such strange creatures. What's wrong with going after someone who likes you too? Why force yourself on someone who doesn't like you? You'll only let them go once you've broken up with them and got bored. Those poor girls. They're the ones who end up getting hurt.” Honestly, Samanta was convinced that Jackson was just trying to have fun with Victoria.She knew men like Jackson and his cousin. Except for the partner his family had chosen for them, all the other women were simply a casual fling, and that included all the women who had the misfortune to catch h
Here is the text with the lines in quotation marks:Elisa knew all along that Jayric was interested in Victoria, but what she didn't expect was for him to be so madly in love with her, and because of Victoria, he exploded in the office and showed his temper. She desperately wanted Victoria to leave. “Don't worry, Victoria. You can go back to work now!” Jayric turned and said gently to Victoria after shouting at the rest of the company.In fact, Victoria looked a little scared. She had never seen Jayric raise his voice to anyone, and was this what every man looked like when he got angry? Did they look exactly like Jackson?The young woman secretly berated herself, because that man was the cause of all her problems and the source of all her pain. So how could she compare him to Jayric? What was she thinking? “Thank you, Jayric, and sorry about that. My family life is a bit complicated... I'm sorry for the trouble it's caused the company.” “It's no big deal, and you can always talk t
