Marigold halted from crying when she heard Mr. Javier outside the door. She panicked and pressed herself further into the sofa corner. 'What should i do?! Mr. Javier shouldn't see me like this!'' she was alarmed when Chardon suddenly approached her. She quickly covered herself and face. "Don't come any closer!"Until she felt something cover her head. When she took it off, she saw that it was chardon's coat. The man was walking away, heading to the door. Halfway, he stopped and slightly turned to her. "Don't go out, stay here first." Mr. Javier continued knocking when the door suddenly pulled opened."Sir! Are you all right? I think I heard something going on inside your office. There seems to be a commotion inside, what's happened?" Mr. Javier said while trying to peek inside, but chardon blocked his sight "It's just your imagination.... I'll go out first. While I'm gone, don't come into my office."Mr. Javier stunned at his boss last words. What could be the reason why he wouldn'
Marigold covered her eyes as she was dazzled by the relatively high sunlight through the window. She turned to the wall to avoid it. After a while, she got up frantically. She suddenly remembered the exchange of gunshots at the Airport and she covered her ears.But when she noticed the calm and tranquil surroundings, she was surprised. When she turned around, she then noticed that she was in a room. Her eyes widened when she saw where she was, because...... this was her room in Antique. 'W-what's happening? Am I in Antique?' Marigold got off the bed and looked around. She's very happy after confirming that this is indeed her room. She quickly went out to find her mother.When she didn't saw her in the kitchen and living room, she went outside. She was dazzled when the door opened, so she covered her eyes first while adjusting. The girl didn't even notice that she wasn't wearing glasses at that time.After a while she walk towards the backyard. Marigold saw her mother in the distance
"What?!!" Marigold exclaimed in shock.Chardon approached the girl and was about to touch her but she distanced herself. The man whimpered in displeasure inside. "Yes... Remember, you promise to take care of me when I'm hospitalized. Now, since your hospitalized too, let's take care of each other, shall we?""Sir, it's done. The comforter has been placed." Said Mr. Javier."Okay, you're all dismissed."When Mr. Javier and the two men got out, chardon lay down on the bed comfortably. He acted as if he was very tired from the day's work and was finally able to rest.The small bed was just opposite Marigold's, only two feet away from her's.Marigold sat on the edge of the bed while looking at the man. "You know we shouldn't be in the same room as we have nothing to do with each other. Besides, I can be alone, I don't need a companion."Chardon turned to marigold, he looks sleepy. "Do you think you have a right to get rid of me and shoo me away? You might not know but, I'm the one
Sela and Chardon were surprised to see Marisol in the living room, while Marisol was stunned to see Marigold in Chardon's arms."Ch-chardon... Why... why marigold' here?" The truth is that she already has a guess as to why Chardon brought Marigold home from the hospital.Sela answered. "I already told you, didn't I? Marigold–" Sela halted when she remembered what marigold told her in the hospital. 'Right, marigold and Sir Chardon aren't in relationship."Marigold laid her head on Chardon's chest, her mood suddenly improved. "Why are you here? how did you get in?" Chardon coldly asked the stupidfied Marisol."Yes?" Sela seconded. "Before I left, I made sure I locked the door."Marisol hadn't even answered when a girl came from the kitchen. She wear sleeveless blouse and short denim shorts, she had a very small sling bag on her body. She comes with a tray of snacks and juice. "There you are!" She said cheerfully as if she's been living in the villa. She was surprised to see
There's nothing else could be heard but the sound of spoons and plates as Sela served those at the long table.After serving everyone, Sela stretched her sore hip for a while. She suddenly felt embarassed as she did that in front of the people in the table. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they didn't seem to see anything. Chardon cleared his throat, he had already been felt awkward of the situation. After their conversation and after Marisol kissed him in the living room, the woman has become conscious of chardon and it seems that she can no longer look at him directly.But what really made Chardon awkward was the guilt he felt for Marigold. When he approached her earlier to help her, the girl ignored him and came to mother Sela instead. Chardon felt that the girl about the kiss, so he couldn't force himself to her as he felt guilty."Here marigold, have a taste of my dinengdeng. This is one of my specialties." Sela said when she noticed the girl was not li
In an instant, the annoyance Chardon felt for marigold disappeared when he saw her in someone else's arms. Just a while ago he was fuming when he left the Villa. Because of this, he thought of granting what she wanted by pushing him to the other woman.When Marisol's driver came to pick her up and hold her, chardon's rudely took Marisol from him. The woman was surprised by Chardon's action, but she was secretly happy and celebrated inside. Chardon drove the car and Marisol's driver was left outside the Villa scratching his head.Marisol tried to talks to Chardon, but the man didn't want to engage. The woman knew that he was in a bad mood at that time, but she didn't care because she wanted to get to know more about the man including the things that annoyed or angered him.Marisol said that Chardon can also call her 'mari' as he nicknamed marigold because they have the same beginning of their names, but the man did not respond to this. Although she felt awkward, Marisol was st
The heavy rain continues as Jonas crosses the road to marigold residence. He slowed down because the road was wet and muddy. While driving, he frowned while glancing at the girl beside him, because - the girl has been crying for a while. Annoyed, Jonas stopped the car on the side, on a safe road."W-why.. do we.... Stop? The girl asked . "How can I continue driving, you're like that. It ruins my mood." Jonas answered annoyed "S-sorry... I'll try my best.... t-to stop it." The girl said while wiping her tears. She calmed herself."No. Pour it all here. When you got home, I wanted you to feel better." Jonas looked on the girl. "You lied...."Marigold didn't answer. She stopped from crying but she still sobbing.Jonas exhaled a breath. "Of all people, why brother Chard? Aside from his face, what else do you see on him?""W-what?" "I know you're not a shallow person like other woman, but, I wondered, did he promise you something? Did he promise you that he will give you the st
"C.A got a Conglomerate Merger with Fontabella corporation, that'a why, both of the companies are now partners, and they almost became one." Marigold went silent before she commented in bitter smile. "Then that's mean, they'll become more and more closer to each other. "Hey, that's not what I'm pointing out here." Jonas said dissatisfied. "Then, what?" "It's true that our company can reap good benefits, but we will have an annoying disadvantage." Marigold interest piqued. "What disadvantage?" "From what I heard from Mr. Javier, fontabella corporation will intervene of managing C.A, they even wanted to see the C.A's history record files." Jonas almost pulled his own hair in exasperation. "W-wait..... Isn't it invasion of privacy?" "That's absolutely right! And do you know what is the most annoying part? Brother Chardon; the Ceo and owner of the company, agree..... It's alright for him! To h*ll with that!" Marigold mouth agaped. 'No, what's happened with Mr. Atanante?
At that time, the hall of the venue was packed of people. Aside from the guest, both of the two company's employees are also present that's why they almost exchange their faces while greeting each other."Looks the engagement are very lively today! I never thought it to be like this crow–hey!""S-sorry.... sorry..." Marigold said in apologized when she accidentally run into a socialite-looking woman. The woman was about to scold her when Marigold passed her right away Marigold went to the VIP suites floor. But first, she asked for manager's help to checked which suite Chardon was in, but when she went to his suite, the man wasn't there that's why she thought to look for him in the hall. 'Where is he? I couldn't even find Ms. fontabella, are they together now?' she suddenly stopped on her tracks at the thought of this. 'Wait, what if, they're indeed together at this time?' she felt perplexity and this made her wanted to see Chardon even more. She scanned the crowd who chattered hap
"Mr. Grove, what do you mean by this? With so many requests you can choose, why is that one?" Thomas commented abruptly."This is between the C.A Ceo and I, so I think you shouldn't interfere with us, am I right Mr McMahon?""But marigold is a executive secretary of the Ceo, what do you mean by kicking her out of the company? Don't you ever think that only our CEO has the right to remove her or maybe you think that because we need something from you, so you are free to make a decision or even make outrageous demand from us?" Jonas said as he arrives with his uncle Mr. Villaflores."Sorry, we're late." The COO, Mr. Villaflores apologized."I don't think I can grant your request Mr. Grove...... Now, let's start the meeting." Chardon declared as he ignored the foreigner's demand.Marigold breathe a sighed in relief, but when she's about to exit the room to get some cup of coffee, he saw Mr. Grove look as if he's throwing a dagger on her. She hurriedly came out. 'It seems, this ma
The next day, Marigold turned to look at the female employees who gossip nonstop early in the morning. She thought. 'Could it be they talked about both of the Ceo's engagement?' She suddenly felt sad, she sighed and set aside the negative emotions she felt. When she got inside the elevator, a man came running chasing the elevator door before it's completely shut. "Marigold, 'morning" the man greeted."Good morning, Jonas." Marigold greeted back.After he pressed the button, Jonas took a glance at the girl beside him. He suddenly recalled his conversation with his cousin last night:"I freed marigold for good, I sent her the contracts she signed. Isn't that what you wanted to get her out of the company–""Really?!" Jonas butt in and asked excitedly. "That's good, alas! The liquidated damage you're asking her is too much, it's not as if she's your business part– wait..... What have you done again?"Chardon came closer. "Our fight is over, because I have given up...... Take a good
"Sir, do you know this woman?" A cop asked as he saw the man's reactions.Chardon suddenly covered his mouth, his stomach seems to turned upside down and he felt like puking. He signaled the search and rescue officer to put back the cover. The cops looked at him intently while waiting for his response.When he finally calm down: "No, it's not her." He said to himself. 'Fortunately.... fortunately, it's not her.' He turned to the cop next to him. "Why is it swollen like that?"The cop answered. "This woman reported to be lost for almost a week, and because she's probably sunken in the water over those days, she inflated like that.In just one look, Chardon already knows that this woman isn't Marigold, not because of her identified appearance but because–that what his heart says. He let out a relieving sighed. It seems as if a thorn had been pulled out of his chest and his disturb and restless heart finally calmed down. He immediately left that place and proceed to his trip.The n
Marigold hurriedly went inside Marisol's room, but she was stunned when she saw the alive Marisol sitting on the bed while Adelaida was hugging her. Marisol caressed her mother's back while she's crying."Mom, stop crying. Can't you see that I'm fine. You heard what the doctor says right? My wound is not severe and maybe, I can even discharge today.""But... but... What if the shot was more fatal? You shouldn't took the bullet for that scumbag, didn't I told you and your father before, that uncle of yours is plague!" Adelaida blurted out as she's continues to cry.Marisol let out a sighed until she noticed marigold at the door. "Marigold?"Adelaida turned to them, when she saw the girl, she frowned. "What are you doing here?""Mom..." Marisol stopped her."Maybe you wanted to check if Marisol was really dying so that you can approach chardon freely? Maybe you're too happy when you saw my daughter was being shot, am I right?" Adelaida rant angrily.Marisol rubbed her forehead. "Mom!
The old man's hand slowly slip upwards the girl's leg, while she seems to be in a deep sleep. He grabbed her long skirt and he felt a little irritated. 'This thing disturbs my fun. This must be remove.' But before he could do something, a sudden knock on the door stopped him. The old man snorted in annoyance as his good time disturbed, but he still gave the person a permission to enter."Boss, we received a tip just now..... Colonel Matias called, he said, a businessman name chardon atantante reported about you to them."The old man was stunned at first before he burst of guffawed. His face turned crimson until his neck but still, he hasn't stop. This made his henchman wondered. Shouldn't his boss show some worries as the other party reported them, but why he's laughing happily instead? At that moment, they didn't notice the slight movement of the girl on the floor."It's funny..... Very funny! Hahaha!" The old man continues his hearty laughs. "He never know... He didn't really k
It's already dark outside when chardon's meeting with the executives finally over. "Tell Jonas to come to my office." He said to his assistant as he looked down on his rolex."Yes, sir." Mr. Javier answered and he's making his way back to his own office.Chardon sat down on his swivel chair and picked up a files. After a while, he stopped as he suddenly thought of something, then he dug out his phone. While in the meeting, he thought of giving Marigold a call to know if she's already checked-in. Before Jonas and Marigold left, he told his cousin to have the girl check-in on his own hotel and don't let her go home alone.Because Marigold told him about Alfonso's plan against him, he couldn't stay calm and compose anymore, he's not worried for himself but for the girl since the danger is just around the corner as long as Alfonso's there. He was worried the she might get implicate.He looked on his phone. It's been a while since he called Marigold. He thought, will she answer? Whe
Marigold was about to scream when one of the man spoke abruptly: "Miss, don't be scared, we mean no harm and we won't do anything to you. Our boss just wanted to speak to you."Marigold peeked inside the car, she do her best to see and to recognize whoever inside might be, but as the car was dark tainted she couldn't even say whether there is really someone inside."Miss..." One of the men opened the door and gestured her to get in.The girl glance at the goons-looking men then she looked around. There's a passersby but they seem to be unaware that she might kidnap today. She sighed and carefully get inside."We see again... miss secretary." Alfonso greeted. He chuckled. "Are you scared of me? Relax..... I just wanted to have a good chat with you. You know that I'm a known figure in the business circle and I have a reputation, that's why I won't do any wicked things"."B-but..... Isn't your reputation is now ruined?" Marigold asked innocently.Alfonso clenched his jaw and fist but h
Despite the happy events in the hall of A.C Prominent hotel, many people was seen on the floor. After picking up their selves, they're angrily complaining and asked around what had happened. And that's when they saw Alfonso who has being dragged down by the two security guards towards the exit of the hall, followed by Marisol who kept on bowing and apologizing to the guest. She was overly embarassed and she's really losing her face this time. She couldn't imagine the aftermath of this incident when this night was over.Marisol stopped as she's passed the man who seemed to be has something on his arms. When she scrutinized him, she noticed that the man has a girl on his arms. She wondered, what are these two doing hugging each other with the mess happened? She bit her lips, she couldn't help to feel jealous. All the love and care this man given to the girl, she hasn't experience of them yet.As for the reason why the man still hugged the girl in his arm and why he didn't l
