“Mr. Rey, can't you see that she's lying?” - Ciara said darkly to Jayric. However, she didn't know that Jayric was in love with Victoria, so he wasn't going to side with her, no matter what she said, not even if she had just called Victoria a liar. Jayric was firmly on Victoria's side. “Miss Ciara, as I said, I'll find someone else for you.” “Do you honestly believe what she told you?” - Ciara couldn't believe what she was hearing, and she couldn't stop raising her voice in anger. “We're just asking for help. Why do you seem so reluctant to provide it? Do you have something against the media department?” “Miss Ciara, you're reading fiction books.” - Jayric said politely. “I'll speak for one last time, I'll get someone else immediately, and if you disrespect me again, I'll speak to your boss! Because here, at JB, the last word comes from me!” He didn't let Ciara say another word. Instead, he turned and walked away, and Ciara was convinced that Jayric was on Victoria's side.
“Perfect!” Ciara wasn't interested in staying either. She cast one last furious glance at Victoria before leaving JB, and Ciara's unexpected visit in the morning didn't cause Victoria any trouble. But it ruined her great mood that morning, and the fact that she had interrupted Victória while she was in the middle of drawing Soraya's hat, and that only made things worse. Her thoughts were a mess now, and she didn't want to make any mistakes with the project, so she got up and went to the pantry. She decided to make herself a glass of fruit juice, and told herself to calm down and pull herself together. She needed to turn her thoughts to the hat, and there was no one in the pantry at the moment.Victoria took a sachet of ready-made fruit juice and poured it into a glass, she added some hot water and stirred the drink. Then, with her fingers gripping the glass tightly, she leaned against the counter and began to sip her juice slowly while trying to get out of the sour mood Ciara had
Three minutes later, Victória had her sketches with her as she ran down the stairs.She rushed out of the elevator as soon as the doors opened, and Soraya was dressed in an elegant dress and sitting in the waiting room. She was clearly waiting for Victória, who, as soon as she saw her, slowed down. After a moment, she realized what she had done and instantly quickened her pace.“Madame, I hope I haven't kept you waiting.” Victória sat down opposite Soraya and placed the drafts on the coffee table between them.“Not at all.” Soraya smiled graciously at the young woman, who was wearing a plain white blouse and a black skirt today.Despite her plain-looking clothes, she glowed radiantly with youth and beauty, and Soraya found the sight extremely pleasing.Victoria nodded before reaching out and opening the folder in front of her. “Madame Carson, here are some sketches I made for the designer of your hat. Please take a look, and tell me if you like them.Soraya took the folder and look
This was the first time Jackson had done something like this with Victoria, like physically trapping her in a corner. He loomed over her like a terrible shadow, exuding both an intimidating air of authority and a magnetic charisma.Victoria felt as if she had been caught in a vast net. It wrapped around her tightly like a stranglehold, and she felt breathless. She knew it. She had to stay away from Jackson Carson! “President Carson, I have no idea what you're talking about!” Victoria tried to pull herself together, pushing aside the shiver, and the fear, and the astonishment inside her as she remained calm and composed.“Really? Are you sure you have no idea what I'm talking about?” Jackson's dark eyes looked back into Victoria's bright, beautiful ones. They seemed to look straight into her soul, and Victoria felt a shiver run through her body. She unknowingly bit her lip.“I really don't, Mr. Carson!” “Stop pretending! “There was a touch of strength in Jackson's voice, and he l
“You can leave now!”Perhaps he was worried that he might not be able to contain himself.So Jackson pushed down his desire to kiss Victoria and pulled her aside. His voice, when he spoke to her, was rough with desire. “Good. Thank you, Mr. Carson, so I'm leaving!” Victoria wasn't going to stay another second after she'd obtained permission to leave. She brushed past him and left.“Go back to your desk, you can come back to the office after you've finished lunch.” Then Jackson spoke again when she reached the bathroom entrance. “Because if you leave now, you'll upset my grandmother, and I won't let you upset her.” His grandmother seemed to enjoy Victoria as much as her company, and he realized this at lunchtime. However, Jackson was firmly convinced that he hated women like Victoria, who resorted to tricks and deceit to get what they wanted. But because of his grandmother, he was willing to put up with Victoria just this once.Victoria, on the other hand, felt trapped. This really
It was Victoria.His superior seemed excessively interested in JB Digital's new designer, but Maison couldn't understand why Jackson was so attracted to the young woman. He remembered that she had only been to his office once.Did she impress Jackson that much?It didn't matter what he thought of her. Jackson was interested in the young woman, which meant it was his job to find out where Victoria was going. “Mr. Carson, I'm not sure, I'll find out for you. The curiosity in Jackson's eyes subsided as soon as he heard that.“Don't bother.” He said. He asked on the spur of a moment, and Maison couldn't believe his ears.He froze momentarily.Jackson seemed very interested in where Victoria was going. Why had he lost interest?The young man fell into a momentary silence. “Mr. Carson, are we still going to meet Mr. Lity?”“Come on.” Jackson had work to do.Victoria was just one of the many women he had met in his life. Yet, somehow, he couldn't get her out of his mind.“Yes sir.” Mais
Victoria felt her chest ache painfully at the sound of her son's voice.“Enzo, Mommy will be home soon!” Victoria said softly as she wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes. “Be a good boy, okay?”Without any warning, Jackson appeared behind Victoria as she tried to calm her son, and his voice was a sudden sound next to her ear. “Mrs. Lazer?” The sudden voice made Victoria lash out in alarm. She felt like she had just seen a ghost. At the sight of the man, Victoria's grip on her phone loosened, and the phone slipped through her fingers and fell to the floor.It was Jackson. What was he doing here? How much of the conversation had he heard?Victoria was overcome with terror, and would he kill her if he knew she secretly had his children?Would he take Enzo and Lara away from her?Victoria couldn't let herself be carried away by these terrifying thoughts, and the mere thought of losing her children hurt, and the pain was akin to driving a dagger into her heart.She felt her he
Shouldn't young women nowadays be more friendly and less tense?He had heard stories about one-night stands and multiple partners, but maybe she thought she was too good for him. He didn't think so.He earned 50,000 a year and had a car and a house, and he wasn't that old. He'd recently turned thirty and was still single, he was interested in her and wanted to spend some time getting to know her, so what was wrong with that?“Let's talk about work. I still have other deliveries to make!” Victoria said politely. I wouldn't keep them waiting for me, that wouldn't be right!”The supervisor couldn't believe that Victoria really was a stick in the mud. Maybe she was just an innocent, simple young girl.He couldn't believe his luck.It would be great if she was still a virgin, and he wouldn't mind trying his chances with her.“It'll be all right. I can give you a ride!” The man handed Victória the glass of water. “Have a drink with me!”“Thanks for the offer, but I really have to go! “Vic
Jackson thought she was cute as she sat there saying nothing, and her hair was messy and she wore no make-up or fancy clothes, so he had a bit of fun.Did she think he'd get tired of her?“Your messy hair makes me feel like you're doing it on purpose!” He said affectionately and Victoria could feel the air he exhaled making her a little nervous.“That's how I stay at home. I can't do anything if you don't like me like this.”“Do you want me to kiss you?” He smiled, touched her lips softly and whispered, making Victoria blush.She thought: “It's going to happen anyway. I know it can't be good when he asks to meet me at night.”“Jackson, our relationship has just begun. Can we wait... and do it... later?” She bit her lips, trembling.“Do what?” Jackson looked at her, and probably knew what she was thinking.she was thinking.In truth, he wasn't tha
Looking at him walk away, Victoria thought that their relationship wasn't exactly normal, and she didn't mind.She wasn't planning on staying with him forever anyway, and when he got tired of it, she'd be able to get rid of him and wouldn't have to worry about him taking her babies away.She then turned towards the house and went in to see the babies, and it was about half past seven and already dark.Noemia was at a business dinner with her parents, and wouldn'tbe home before 10.Noemia sent a message to Victoria telling her not to wait up and that she had found someone to help with the paternity test, and Victoria was relieved.Lara was in her arms and they were watching TV together. After a while, her phone started buzzing, and Victoria didn't notice it at first.“Mom... cell phone...” Enzo heard the buzzing and went to pick up the phone, pointing at the screen.Victoria understood him, a
“Come on. I'll take you for a meal!” Jackson said. However, just as he was about to walk her to her car, Victoria pulled her hand away.“Let me change first, if it's not going to be inappropriate for me to eat out like this.”It seemed that Victoria had been dressing like this for the last few days, and it would certainly be inappropriate for her to eat in a restaurant while she was dressed like this.“All right, I'll wait for you!” Jackson replied, and Victoria nodded and went back to her mansion.It didn't take long for Victoria to put on her best outfit, however, she was hesitating over whether or not she wanted to put make-up on, and in the end, decided against it.She wasn't really dating him anyway, so why should she put so much effort into dressing up for him? What if he really got tired of her one day when he had to look at how dull she looked every day?Victoria decided never to put make-up on for him again, and that way, he would get bored with her very quickly and she would
His voice seemingly melted Jackson's frozen heart as he reached out to gently pat the children's heads before carrying them to the carpet and starting to play with them.As Enzo was a boy, it wasn't long before he was Jackson's best friend while playing with them. What's more, he was quite aggressive while playing with Jackson.He actually climbed on his back and started pulling his short hair, and Victoria was shocked when she realized how aggressive he was while Enzo was playing with Jackson.That's because she knew what kind of person Jackson was.Who would dare pull his hair like that?“Don't pull his hair or he'll get mad!” Victoria was worried that Jackson might be angry, so she immediately ran to hug Enzo while nervously teaching him.After being lectured by his mother, Enzo put his head down and didn't dare make a sound, and Jackson noticed this and thought that Victoria shouldn't have acted like that,because it
“Noemia, can you do me a favor?” Victoria turned to Noemia, who was still leaning against the door.“What do you need?” Noemia asked.“Jackson wants to do another DNA authentication test. Can youhelp me find two people to act as my cousin and her husband? They have to be someone trustworthy, as they need to be able to withstand Jackson's questioning.”“I can help you look for people, but how do you intend to do that?” Noemia frowned.“They just have to refuse his request, and make him believe that they are the children's biological parents.” Victoria reasoned.“Are you sure that would work? After all, Jackson isn't naïve and will fall for it easily.” Noemia said after considering it for a while.“I'm not sure either, but I don't have any better ideas!” Victoria sighed. Previously, she had used fake hair to manipulate the test results, but this time, they wouldn't use that trick again, and Jackson wouldn't fall for it.Noemia looked at Victoria's troubled expression, and reached out
After Ciara left, Victoria looked solemnly at the entrance to the mansion. So this party was prepared for Jackson. Victoria hoped that the Carson's would find him a girlfriend soon, in the hope that she could be freed, and the feeling that went through Victoria's mind was just a sigh of relief, and there was no sign of jealousy or dismay.She continued to wait for the man under the shadow. After about five minutes, Jackson came out of the gate, looking relaxed, and Victoria gave him a quick glance and looked away soon after. “Shall we? I'm taking you home!” Jackson walked up to her and said.Victoria pursed her lips. She wanted to reject the offer, but she felt it would be redundant to say anything, so she obediently got into her car.In the car, Victoria could smell a faint odor of alcohol coming from the man. Perhaps he had been drinking with one of the select women the Carsons had arranged for him?Victoria leaned against the car door as her mind wondered, and she was so absorb
“All right, then I'll go out and talk to him!” Carla Alvinegro said. Although she was older than Jackson, she had to go out and see him considering the Carson's wealth and status in the city.As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Jackson standing there, not intending to move. “Jackson, why don't you come in and join my party?” Carla Alvenegro immediately approached and smiled as she said.“I appreciate the invitation, but I'll pass it on!” Jackson smiled politely. “Actually, the reason I'm calling you is because I want you to stop organizing these kinds of parties in the future. I have no interest!” “But, Jackson, it was your mother who asked me to organize this party!” Carla Alvenegro was taken aback and didn't know how to respond, and Jackson naturally knew that it was his mother's idea. “I'll tell her about it!” He paused before continuing. “I'm leaving, now! Good afternoon, Mrs. Alvinegro!” Carla Alvenegro realized that she really was leaving and immediately became anxious.
“I get that, Jackson!” Victoria replied deeply.Since he was able to find her no matter where she went, she decided to agree to his request. One day, when he got tired of her, he could finally leave her alone and stop asking about Enzo and Lara.Victoria suddenly felt that it wouldn't hurt to date him because of Enzo and Lara, as she wanted to avoid being harassed by Jackson and his family in the future.She felt that it would make things easier for her in the future if she dated him now.After making up her mind, Victoria felt that it was okay to be friends with Jackson. After all, they had slept together before and it wasn't as if she was a virgin.“Are you going to try something funny this time and hide from me?” Jackson looked at her deeply.“Considering how powerful you are, how can I hide?” Victoria shook her head as she said helplessly, because even if she tried, he hadn't found her address? “Good girl!” Jackson nodded, and raised his hand to check the time. “I've still got so
More than 50 young women came to the party with the hope of marrying him, and Ciara also wanted to marry Jackson, so she had to do her best to impress Mrs. Alvenegro.*Inside the bathroom, Victoria felt soft and was on the verge of tears after Jackson kissed her forcefully. He seemed angry about her dismissal and blacklisting him on the phone, so he continued kissing her hard.She was almost out of breath, but it didn't end there. Victoria was petrified when she heard footsteps outside the bathroom, and Jackson was completely calm and unconcerned about people coming in.After the person outside the door left, Jackson carried Victoria out of the bathroom.He carried her up to a bedroom on the second floor and locked the door behind them.As this property belonged to the Carson Group, it was as good as his house, and he wasn't afraid and could do anything he thought best, but Victoria was terrified. Jackson refused to let her leave the room and even pinned her down on the big soft be
