That night, Alpha Jaxton summoned Shantel into his chambers. It was to help him rewrite some scrolls and parchments. Shantel couldn't explain how the King ended up sleeping in her arms. She stood still, patting his head. She didn't mind patting his head for hours if it will make him sleep for long. He is a man that hardly sleeps.Time dragged by, his labored breathes filled the air. His arms around her loosened, but never fell away.His hair was soft. She enjoyed running her fingers into it. She didn't know when she started humming until a soft melodious sound joined his breathing in the air.She wished there was a way to erase his worst childhood memory from his head but then again, wishes can never be horses.Suddenly, the door burst open and Emerald walked into the king's chamber, her garment dragging on the floor. She stopped suddenly at the sight in front of her, her lips gasping apart in shock.Shantel's eyes held Emerald's in defense. She didn't stop patting Jaxton's hair or hum
Jaxton woke up to the shouts of Shantel. She was thrashing on the bed, saying words and words about the dungeon.As he watched her, it took him back to those days he had kept her in the dungeon. He couldn't help remembering the way this woman looked so miserable.She had screamed at every whip the slave trainer lashes her. She cried. She had hurt so much.He was frowning hard in thoughts but when she started sobbing, he was forced to move.He walked towards her and sat on the bed, "Stop it. It's just a nightmare" He spoke calmly."Oh stop whipping me!....I d...I'd nothing wrong! Don't steal my mate away from me..! It hurts" She cried, thrashing her head from side to side.Now, her subconscious is replaying the deadly words from Emerald."Shantel..wake up", He commanded.It didn't work. She only cried.Then, he placed a hand on her arm and settled back into sleep. His brows furrowed further as he watched this development. She was gripping his body hard, her body relaxed into sleep.He k
Tiffany was wearing a long white silk dress, which was particularly different from the rest of the people in the sports field.Nadine looked away, poured slightly and said in a low voice, "Is she serious?" Why does she still wear a dress in the field days?" All the people who were present that day were dressed in sportswear. Even Nikolai who was used to wearing a suit was dressed in black causal clothes.Tiffany dud not even feel that her dress was inappropriate at all. When she came over, a faint smile was seen across her face with delicate makeup. "There's still half an hour before the competition begins. I didn't expect to see all of you here."Nadine swung her arm and made a warm up movement. She said with a forced smile, "Isn't there a competition for the leaders from the management team later? We came early so that we can make early preparations. Miss Carter, you dresses like this. Aren't you going to participate in badminton match? "Tiffany smiled gently and said, "I'm not go
Hailey always felt that Nadine was up to no good.She pulled out her hand calmly, "I'm not very good at playing badminton either.""I've seen you sign up for badminton match. You must be better than me in terms of skills!" Nadine tugged at Hailey's clothes. "Help me. My brother's skills are good. You can fight with him in the mixed doubles and defeat lucky star corporation entirely! "Lucky Star corporation was the opponent of Sanders corporation. One was a man and the other was a woman, both of whom came from the corporation's management team.Hailey did not want to get involved in that. "I will have a competition later, so I'm afraid that I can't help you. Miss sanders, why don't you ask other staff from sanders corporation, who can play badminton to do it for you..""Oh, Hailey. The competition for the staff and the management team are not held at the same time, and there's no conflict! You're my friend, and you can represent me. No one will say anything!" Nadine said directly, "I
"Come on! You can do it!"In the sports field, there were endless cheers.Subsequently, there were a lot of sport activities. There were all kind of ball games, and track and field games. In the end, it was the competition for the management team.Many people in the management department were not so keen on sports, so they chose badminton, which was a much common game."The competition for the employees of the ten corporation are over. Next, let's invite the members who participated in the badminton competition to enter the court!"The host said with deep emotions in a pleasant voice. It was heard in the entire place."Firstly, the Carter Corporation is going to fight against Skylight corporation. Please welcome them!"The two groups of people in blue and gray casual clothes slowly walked into the court. Natalie looked at the people on the scene, and she brightened her eyes immediately, "Wow! That tall and thin young man must be the young master of Carter Cooperation. He's really cute
No one in the field had expected that the President of the cokes cooperation would take place of Sanders corporation. The atmosphere of the scene became extremely intense."Oh my god, President Coke is so gorgeous. He can simply wear some casual clothes and be so charismatic. I'm charmed!""I've only seen Mr Coke goes to work and attends meetings in a serious way. I've never known what Mr Coke looks like when he plays badminton. We must record it abd take photographs later!""Well, if only I were the woman next to Mr Coke. If I could play badminton as Mr Coke's partner, how extremely honoured and lucky I would be!""Who is that woman?""Maybe it's someone from the management team of Sanders corporation. After all, it's some kind of big shot who we can't afford to mess with....."....The people who fought against Sanders corporation were the president and the general manager if lucky start corporation. Both of them were very exceptional. It was obvious thar they were quiet skillful.H
The President of lucky Star corporation was a middle aged man. Perhaps, he was used to playing golf. The shuttlecock which he served was very high and powerful..Hailey was able to return the serve, but she was reluctant to do so.Holding the racket, she paused. When she was able to retreat, she felt a gust of wind beside her all of a sudden. The badminton racket was swung fiercely near her ear. With a snap, tbe shuttlecock was hit by the racket. It flew over the net to the other side. The man and the woman if lucky star corporation did not expect that such a sharp serve could be returned. They were caught off guard and the shuttlecock fell to the ground.The referee's whistle was heard, and the first round ended with one to nothing."President Nikolai's skills are really extraordinary. I do admire that!" The President if lucky Star shouted at him from across the court.Nikolai smiled. "Mr ludwell, you're not too bad. We can learn from each other when we're free in the future."Hailey
The competition yielded a score of two to nothing.If the Lucky Star Corporation lost again, that competition would end directly. Everyone in the stadium paid particular attention to the condition of the competition.Although, the two participating teams had nothing to do with the cokes cooperation, the President of the Cokes cooperation was in the court, so everyone fixed their attention there."I've never known that President Nikolai actually knows how to play badminton. He's really handsome. He's now much more handsome than when he's at work!""Well, I've got to say that the woman actually knows how to play badminton. He's really handsome. He's now much more handsome than when he's at work!""Well, I've got to say that the woman next to President Nikolai is very exceptional too. She can cooperate with President Nikolai so well!""Of course! If you don't have any badminton skills, do you dare to cooperate with President Nikolai?""But don't you think that woman looks familiar?""Hea
The fiasco started by Asher ended after Shirley ruined her own vocal cord.Hailey knew that she had done the best she could since she had sent people to take care of Asher. At this moment, the most important thing for her was to live her own life.******* ********"Zaney, honey, your momma is pregnant...you will have a little sibling soon, okay" Mrs Coke was the first to whisper into Zane's ears."Yahhhhh, grandma" Zane grinned. He rushed to hug Hailey, his little hands wrapped around Hailey's hips as he nuzzled her nose against Hailey's belly.Mrs Coke smiled.Nikolai thanked Doc Cyril and walked out of the office, Mrs Coke was the one who held Hailey while Nikolai had Zaney in his arms.It was indeed a beautiful sight!The most beautiful scene Nikolai had ever imagined••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••2months After....These past two months were the best for Hailey. She had a good reconciliation with her father and her lost Angie, Angie got serious mental issues and even the doctors c
After taking Hailey out of the national registration department, Nikolai did not bring her home directly, he drove her straight to the hospital.Although Asher said that pill would only make Hailey lose her voice temporarily and had no other side effects, Nikolai was still worried.Besides, Hailey had been kidnapped by Prince Peter. He did not know if they had hurt her, so he had to let the doctor check her carefully before he could be rest assured.When she got in the car and found that it was not the way home, Hailey still could not utter a word.She could only sit in the shotgun seat and keep waving her hand at Nikolai who was driving to show thar except for her voice she was very healthy without any discomfort.But how could Nikolai listen to her? He only told her that she should take a rest in the car first and then drive her to the hospital for an examination before taking her to a good meal.Hailey was annoyed but she couldn't say anything. She could only stare at Nikolai and c
"No, Hailey, don't listen to her nonsense,I really didn't so it."Asher was very anxious at the moment. He tried to hold Hailey's hand but Nikolai beat him to it.Nikolai's pulled Hailey into his embrace. His tone was cold and indifferent as he said, "Let's not discuss the matter of framing me for the time being. However, if Hailey is unable to say anything, what did you do to her?"In the beginning, Hailey gave him no reply, making Nikolai assume that she was disappointed in him.But since Shirley came, Hailey looked agitated yet she still remained silent which made Nikolai feel suspicious.He was completely sure that Hailey was drugged. When Asher started explaining yo Hailey, she dud not even question him. She simply had a flustered and disappointed look in her eyes.Nikolai knew Hailey well. He knew that it was not Hailey's true reactions unless she could not speak at all.Hailey who had been protected tightly in Nikolai's embrace sighed helplessly. She looked at Asher with deeper
The four of them met in a private room in the private club. A man who looked like Doug sat at the head of the table without saying a word. He had quiet a bit of imposing manner. That was the George's family second uncle- Hayes George. "Hayes, I'm here with my two children." Doug frowned. During those years, that brother of his had been in noy much contact with him and his brothers all the time. He did not expect that they would meet in such a way. Hayes George glanced a both zephira and Doug coldly. When he looked at Hailey, he said coldly, "Hailey right? You'd better not show off your ability given that you're young. Even if you've just entered the company, you should still act sensibly" The incident about Nikolai of the Cokes family and Hailey of the Georges cooperation had been discussed vehemently in the upper class in Manila city. Everyone knew that Nikolai had used a great sum of money to gain a beauty's affection. If it was not for Nikolai's powerful tactics and the support
Austin compromised. Seeing that, Hailey looked cold but she did not push him. She said, "Then let's deal with Xyla first. Although Xyla is a member of our design apartment she has been in the company for five years. During this period of time, she has been using other's design drafts. Thus time around she has brought trouble to our George's cooperation. I decided to dismiss her. Do you have any opinions?" Even if she could not deal with Austin directly, she still had a way to deal with Xyla. In addition, that was a good opportunity. Since zephira had a soft personality as her sister, Hailey must be tough in the company and show her strength to others. Thus, others would not think that they were easy to be bullied and do the same thing as Austin again. The others witnessed how Hailey acted in a slick manner and suppressed Austin in a reasonable manner. Now that she had said something more, the others would only be convinced by her. So they said one after another, "I don't have any o
Reinvigoration - the most perfect work of art would always go through twists and turns.The signature was the name of the cooperation between the Xavier family and George's cooperation.Mer champ looked at Xyla in disbelief. When did the design department hand in such a design draft to the Xavier family? How come he dud not know anything about that?Xyla did not bring her cell phone to that conference room. At that time, she began to panic when she saw Mr champs expressionBefore she could ask, Hailey looked at Xyla with a smile and instructed. "Take this pen drive and insert it to the computer over there"Xyla had a plan in her mind, so Hailey must have her own purpose in doing so. Otherwise why would Hailey hide such a thing from the design department? Hence she did not obey Hailey's order for a long time.Hailey raised her eyebrows but she did not lose her temper. She inserted the pen drive into the computer and turned on the audio software. A woman's voice appeared on the screen.
Angie had taken the medicine for sobering up before she drank the wine, which was all to make Xyla lower her vigilance and disguise.Xyla replied directly, "Do what? Does anyone know that I plagiarized? Think about it. I have to thank you for providing me with the design drafts. Otherwise, why would I be sitting in my current position and ruin that damn Yona reputation?""I'm telling you! If you're smart, you should rely on mr. You'd better hand over the design drafts to me obediently. When Hailey is driven out of the company tomorrow, I will be the manage. I will not pursue the matter that you betrayed me."Upon hearing that, Angie frowned slightly. How could Xyla accurately explain that she would drive Hailey out of the company during the following day? Angie could not help but ask, "Why did you say that?"Xyla was almost fully drunk because if the alcohol so she did not reply to that anymore. "Haha..."She fell asleep with her head tilted.Angie stopped the recording and sent the a
When Xyla was going downstairs, although she was still not feeling well, there was a hint of joy on her face. But she only left after she thought of what he told her. He claimed that Hailey did not provide any design which the Xavier family was satisfied with. And when she thought about Angie, she had a plan in her mind.In tbe past few days, she did not see any work of Angie, but who knee if Angie had cooperation with Hailey in private?Her heart was filled with schemes. Angie's appearance had long disrupted her state of mind.Upon entering the office, Xyla suddenly heard Hailey's voice."In order to welcome Angie, I will treat you to dinner today. Let's have a meal"As soon as the manager spoke, everyone naturally agreed.Xyla smirked. Unexpectedly, someone gave her a chance just when she had a scheme in her mind.Angie was a lightweight drinker. She would say anything after drinking a few glasses of wine.When it was time to get off work, she silently tidied up the design paper on
After that day, Hailey's relationship with Nikolai was improved rapidly.Nikolai began to contact Hailey rapidly by using the communication tool though he was an introvert. He mostly greeted Hailey good morning but Hailey was quite warmed to that.She had to admit that she felt something for Nikolai again.But as for how the relationship between the two of them would develop in the future, she still had some hesitation. The past was still deep pain for her, and when she thought about that, she was grieved.She could not have more contact with him for the sake of the hurt Zaney had suffered.Yes, that was it. Now, she still had cooperation with him because of the project of the diamond factory. She could not just fall with him directly.She thought that she might need some timr to figure out what she was thinking.Hailey was in a dilemma, but the daily work had exposed her heart which wavered constantly.On several occasions, she forgave Yvonne's careless mistake and carefully helped h
