As Silhouettes Designs launches its spring collection, Lexie met her previous colleagues from C&J Advertising who happens to handle the company's promotion.
Trina is now the manager after Cathy was promoted as the COO of C&J Advertising. Seeing Trina and Chris has been a boisterous meeting for the three of them."I hate you! You never visited us" Trina confronted despite it being playful. While Chris remains quiet beside them, contentedly watching Lexie."I'm so sorry, it was already in my plan but things got arduous, with all the deadlines I got stuck here" she apologized while holding Trina's hands."You look more stunning, right Chris?" Trina teased knowing Chris's previous crush on her."Lexie is always stunning..." he responded with an admiring smile."How are you, Chris? How are you all?" she excitedly asks."We are fine, the same except the company has become more successful after handling the account of Wright Pharma. And we also goNo matter how hard she convinces herself Lucien is no longer interested in Ellen, her heart still feels heavy. And just like her dragging steps as she came out of the service elevator to transfer to the penthouse elevator, she feels like weighing a ton. All her limbs feel heavy.She just sparsely look around, checking the surroundings as she waited for the elevator to open after she scanned her card. She feels like burying herself in the deepest part of her bed to have the serenity she needed. But she doubts if she ever finds one until Lucien gets home. Him, being with Ellen doesn't suit her gut.Still lost in thoughts, she was unaware of the floor indicated on the screen and when the elevator opens.Snapping from her trance, she was startled by the intense eyes staring at her. The pair of piercing eyes, Lucien Wright owns. Surprised to see him, she just stares at him without noticing she remains unmoving from her spot."Come in, Zia. Lucy is already waitin
Getting an exemplary response to her design during the spring collection, Lexie was given her brand name.Already part of the Silhouettes Designs team, she had better room to study the company's market and explore her designs. She could feel the pressure coming from everyone around her, especially Eve and the president.She has to prove her success during the recent launching is neither a one-shot nor out of luck. She must establish a substantial market for her design. And by doing so, she must strengthen the diversity of her style. And it will be increasing the pressure on the goal she set for herself.Busy in their respective workstations, Jason suddenly stands up and increases the volume of the television."Look at the news, a result of CEO Lucien Wright's medical assessment regarding his erectile dysfunction has been circulating" Jason readily explains as he scans the television for the channel airing what he was saying.Lex
"That was savage" Jason mumbles in utter disbelief. Amusement laces his voice as he turns to Eve with a smile."Let's see what that scheming bitch will do against Samantha Wright" Eve raves amusedly."She was nowhere close compared to the bitchiness of Miss Wright" Emily added, chuckling."But what if it's true? That the CEO has that problem?" Jason curiously asks."It's none of anyone's business. We all have struggles and though his life is in the limelight, he still deserves privacy. We don't know what he had gone through. The medical institution should investigate why his result was posted online and not securely kept. The CEO could sue them for the leak of pertinent documents. Whoever posts the result must be sued for breaching the CEO's privacy" Eve seriously stated."This is the downside of being famous. Even your privacy is at stake. People will find something to tarnish your good name" Emily shrugs."I'm curious about the CEO's reaction" J
"Lucien?" she whispers after she recognized him.Slowly she walks closer to him."What are you doing here? Why didn't you get inside the room? What time did you get home?" she asks what has been bothering her mind. But she got no reply even after she had taken a seat beside him."Lucien..." she was suddenly bothered by how he looked.Heaving a sigh, she placed her hand on his knee, giving it a gentle squeeze. She stares at his loosened tie and disheveled hair. He looks dejected almost defeated, which is troubling her."I've been waiting for you since afternoon. I got out of work earlier. I played with Lucy around the pool, I bathe him and we ate dinner together. I put him to sleep and read him his favorite story" she recounted what she did earlier. She waited for his reply but after a while of silence, she got none."I also tried to call. Lucy wanted to say goodnight to you...but your phone was quite busy" she added and waited again. W
Staring, she remains to wait for him to continue."I don't know if it's love, Zia...I don't know I'm capable of such... I am with Ellen for years but I can't say I love her... She was just there beside me, but it doesn't bother me whether she was around or not. And I fear I will do the same with you" he added, sounding so conflicted."I was desperate to find an answer to my dilemma and I don't want to use you as I did to Ellen. You are...you are precious to me Zia. The first time I felt this kind of protectiveness but I was frightened of myself""These were all new to me. Everything in my life was easily offered, I can easily get anything I want...but for the first time...you gave me a difficult plight. A battle against myself""You were there for an easy take...but I don't want to just take you...I don't deserve you. I have so many demons inside me""I want to possess you but at the same time, I want you to be free from me... You deserve more than a m
Turning towards the door, a familiar figure enters."Hello, Miss Montes""Hello, Mr. Simon" Lexie replies with the greetings of the all-smile Gabriel Simon."What sorcery have you done to make yourself this small CEO Lucien Wright" he turns to the boy on the couch who is gaping up at him."Mama, is he a silly man?" Lucy whispers to his mother after he averted his gaze away from the visitor."No, baby. He is papa's friend" softly, she assures the boy who looks afraid of the man."Hello there young CEO Lucien" Gab continues with his playfulness despite hearing what the boy called him."I am not my papa. I am Lucas Alexander Montes. You are acting silly. My papa is a grown man, I'm just a boy" Lucy exclaims, incredulously confused."Ohhh, is that so? But you look exactly like CEO Lucien. Are you deceiving me kiddo? What have you done to my best friend? Why did you make him shrink?" confusion reflects on his face while he closely scrut
The rumor continues to float around but Lucien or any Wright ignores it like it doesn't exist. It has receded by the inattention of anyone from the family. The cold shoulder added to Ellen's resentment.Lucien did not bother to take down the document. He left everything unanswered and unverified. He left the decision to the public to believe it or not.With all his hectic schedule, he has no time to be bothered by insignificant matters, more so Lexie.She has become busy with the preparation of her brand and the design she will be launching. She has become too focused on her dream career and their family to mind gossip. Lucy's health has been immensely improving and she was so happy about it. That's all that's important to her and Lucien, Lucy's good health.She had just come out of the vehicle still several meters away from Silhouette Designs office when she was startled by someone's greetings."Hello, Lexie, wow great car! A limo!" Emily'
As the summer event is nearing, all the teams were becoming busy. Lexie, together with Jason and Eve went to the venue to finalize the reservation."This place is gorgeous" Jason raves excitedly as he lounge on the comfortable chair. A huge tree shades them from the sun.Waiting at the poolside with served fresh fruit drinks, they enjoy the serenity. The massive size of the area complies with the requirement of the event."Wright Hotel and Resort is the biggest in the capital, perfect for huge events" Eve explains before sipping her drinks. They are waiting for the final quotation. Madame Levinia Wright had approved the discount for Silhouettes Designs upon knowing their reservation the previous months."With great accommodation. Madame Levinia Wright has been very strict with the management" Eve continues."I feel like I'm so rich whenever I'm here. The relaxing atmosphere is superb" Jason added with closed eyes.They were
