Asher stood in front of the mirror and lit up a cigarette. In the midst of smoke, he appeared depressed.His assistant walked in fearfully. He did not know why the President suddenly called him in. It was mainly because of the President's tone that he felt that he would be scolded."Do a background check on Hailey George, the founder of For You jewelry" Asher sounded so cold and distantThe assistant breathe a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and said, "Mr Lorenzo, I've been meaning to tell you about the President of For Your Jewelry. But you said her family background is not important on partnership, so I kept my mouth shut"Asher held a cigarette in his hand and said coldly, "Tell me everything now""President George and Mr Nikolai Coke, the President of Cokes cooperation are husband and wife""What did you just say?"Asher's face was filled with anger."We've just returned to our homeland for expanding our market for less than a month, so we are not aware of the news in Manila ci
"President George, why are you here?" Assistant Leo bent down to shake hands with Hailey. He seemed frightened and worried.He smiled dryly and said, "How can I let you come in person, President George. Even if something happens, I should go and meet you myself..."Hailey smiled calmly and said, "assistant Leo is busy. How could I ask you to go to for you jewely? It's better for me to come here"Assistant Leo touched his sweaty forehead and he could only lower his head and smiled apologeticallyPresident Asher chose for you jewelry out of dozens of company's, which was enough to show how important for you jewelry was. He did not dare to offend her."I came here for you to sign the contract with President Asher face to face. Please inform me, assistant Leo""Well...."Assistant Leo became much more nervous and the tissue in his hand became wet."What's wrong?" Hailey smiled and said, "Is it not a good timing?""Yes, he is busy" assistant Leo nodded and said, "President Asher has some pr
"I didn't expect that you would come here to see me in person" As soon as they entered the restaurant, Asher lit his cigarette. He leaned against his chair and said lazily.Hailey took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Mr Lorenzo, please go to the smoking room if you want to smoke. There's a pregnant woman here"Asher's eyes darkened. He put down the cigarette on the ash tray, looked up at her and said, "Hailey if I remember correctly, you are diagnosed with stomach cancer by the doctor. Forgive me for being so imprudent,but can a person with stomach cancer give birth to a child?"Hailey replied softly, "Does it have anything to do with you?""Of course it has something to do with me because you're my first business partner ever since I came here to expand my business. If you die,how will I make my profit?"Asher fixed his eyes on her. He appeared calm but there are unknown expression in his eyes.He suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, I saw in the news that you and President Co
"It's okay. My father has been dead for more than ten years now. It's just that I can't let go of it" Asher appeared calm again, "Every year, when it's bear my father's anniversary death, I get myself drunk. Only then I can numb my sense. In these way, I wouldn't have to think about those painful memories from the past".Suddenly, Hailey felt his deepest grieve and she was at a loss.She was neither a goof listener nor a person who is good at alleviating ones pain. She was not used to learning about other people's secrets because it would make her troubled and burned. However, she was the one who started the topic, and it was not good for her to interrupt him halfway."My father said that I am a curse. On the day I was born, my mother passed away due to difficult labor. From that day onwards, my father because drunk every night and became a gangster on the street. When he was drunk, he hit me. After more than ten years when I was eleven years old, my father passed away. How did he die
Hailey stood up with her bag and walked out.She drove there and she did not want him to give her a ride. However, he dragged her to his sport car by force and put her on the seat beside the driver's seat, "You will hurt yourself and the others if you insist o driving yourself in this condition. Sit down and I will drive you back to the hospital"Hailey had no choice but to compromise.He driver the car slowly, and the cool breeze blew in slowly through the car window.Looking at her pretty face through the rear view mirror, Asher could not help but to tighten his grip on the steering wheel. Soon enough, they arrived at the hospital.Hailey opened the door and get out of the car. She smiled and said, "Mr Lorenzo, thank you for giving me a ride. I will go back to the ward first""Wait."Asher raised his eyebrows and looked at the window of the hospital in front of him. He stepped out of the car in order to walk her to her ward in the hospital. He suddenly stood in front of her and his
"Nikolai Coke, I will apply for a divorce certificate from the court. If there's anything you want to talk about in tbe future, please contact my lawyer directly" Hailey said slowly.She ignored his rising anger and pushed his hand away then she walked to the hospital bed and covered herself with the blanket."Divorce?" He sounded so immensely angry. "Don't even think about it!""Don't assume that I don't know that the bastard child in your womb has the right to take 20% of the Coke's cooperation. You want a divorce at this time. So do you plan to keep your bastard child and spend the money with your lover? Hailey George, don't even dream about it!"Hailey emerged from the blanket and asked, "Is that how you see me?""How else should I see you?" Nikolai stared at her. His knuckles almost cracked as he almost clenched his fists. He would never agree to divorce!She seemed dignified and noble, but however, she planned to raise her bastard child with the Cokes cooperation money.How could
"Oh Agnes, why are you crying?" Mrs George pulled Agnes into her arms. Her heart was aching."Mom..." Agnes cried out uncomfortably, "Does Nikolai suspect anything? If he finds out that I'm not that little girl, will he abandon me? Mom what should I do?""You do like to make all kinds of conjectures!" Mrs George comforted her. "ALL the doctor's and nurses who knew about the truth had been transferred away. Your father made sure of that. Even if Nikolai suspects it, it is impossible for him to find the truth. Agnes, you must insist that you are the little girl who accompanied Nikolai in the past. As long as you sound convincing, no one can doubt it, okay?"Agnes could not catch her breath as she was crying, "What if Nikolai knows about it now?""No he won't. " Mrs George afirmed. "He's going to divorce Hailey. You will marry him soon. When you become Mrs Coke, even if he finds out later, what else can he do? Agnes don't cry. Mom will deal with everything for you. There ...there....don
Asher's face suddenly darkened. He tried to recall what he had just said now. He wondered, what did he say that has caused such a huge misunderstanding?It was such a great shame for a man!He suppressed his annoyance. Before he could explain himself, his keen ears heard some footsteps coming from outside the ward.That was the kind of noise which leather shoes makes on the floor. It was impossible for doctors and nurses to wear leather shoes while they are working.Moreover, the patients were weak. Even though they were wearing leather shoes, they would never make such heavy steps.Then it could only be ...Asher's eyes were filled with a lot of wickedness.He raised his head and looked at Hailey. There was an inscrutable look in his dark eyes."I was just joking" Hailey realized that she had just said something wrong and quickly explained , "I will take back what I just said. Don't take it seriously"Before she finished her words, Asher suddenly stepped forward and approached her gr
