"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?
The only woman in the gazebo looked back at the group when she felt their gaze. She stood up and say something to the men with her on their table Marigold's friend went curious as the elegant woman make her way towards them. "Hi marigold~ I never thought I would meet you here.... Are they your friends?" The woman greetedly smilingly.Jessy and the others looked at each other. They suddenly felt shy and awkward. They never thought that the Merger partner of their boss who rumoured to be their future mistress approached them in a friendly manner."G-good evening, Ms. Fontabella." Marigold greeted back awkwardly.Marisol pouted. "Why do you keep on calling me Ms. Fontabella, didn't I told you just call me by my name?"Jessy and the group look back and forth at Marigold and Marisol. The great surprise and shock could be seen on their faces. The looks on their faces seem to say 'Are you two close?'The man in Marisol side on their table approached the group. Jessy and the other'
"What can you say about what you did today?"The girl silence for a while before she finally manage to find the words she has to say. "M-Mr. Atantante.... would you believe if I tell you that... that's unintentional?"Chardon leaned on the swivel chair. "Of course, that's unintentional.... But the damage you have done, are you aware?"Marigold shook her head although she's aware the man couldn't see it.The man stood up and slowly approached the girl who's still bowed her head. They're only half a meter apart. "Do you know what my company could possibly lose?The girl swallowed her saliva. She knows it might be a huge amount but she didn't dare to calculate it."Billions..... Do you heard that? It's billions." Marigold eyes widened. She only thought of hundreds of millions, but she couldn't imagine, it could actually reach in billions! She couldn't help to wonder how rich and wealthy this man might be. Chardon walked back and forth around her. "I don't know what your proble
"Sir. until now, I still haven't received any response from other foreign investors. I'm worried that Mr. McMahon might be the only one who is willing to invest with us." Mr. Javier said worriedly, but the man in the swivel chair didn't show the same burden. The slight darkening of the bottom of his eyes are visible while his forehead is wrinkled. "Put that aside for now, your worry is futile. They will definitely come back.... Help me with some other things."Mr. Javier wanted to ask, but, over the years that he was with this man, he knows well that he will definitely find a way. "Investigate Thomas McMahon ang marigold. find out if they always meet, what place, how many times, and what time."The assistant was surprised. "S-sir, you mean.... I'm going to investigate if the two has a secret relationship? Am I right?"Chardon's eyes narrowed. "I want the result as soon as possible."..In breaktime, aside from her injured foot, Marigold felt a tons of weigh on her body a
"W-what are you doing? W-what's going on?" Marigold came back to her senses, she pushed the man away and immediately distanced herself from him. She sorted her hair and clothes, but this action of hers displeased the man. Chardon felt wrong, he could even imagine that the girl felt ashamed to be with him when someone discovered them. 'You ashame of me.....? Fine.' The displease expression of the man suddenly change, his face suddenly flashed a smile. He approached Marisol affectionately and took the shopping bags the woman carried. He acts as he's happy that Marisol is back. "How's your flight? Do you have a jetlag? Why did you come straight here? Aren't you tired from the almost whole day trip.... hmm?" Marisol was stunned by the sudden consideration and concern the man had shown. Because of this, she completely forgot what she had witnessed just now. She smiled sweetly at the man. "I'm fine. I'm not that delicate, by the way...." She took one of the paperbag and rummage inside
Jessy and their friends were stunned until the luxury car braked noisily and stopped before reaching Marigold, who was only a meter away. The way they looks were as if they have lost blood and they seem to have forgotten to breathe.The car window opened and the person inside glared and yelled to all of them. "What's this?! Your girl's modus? Are you that desperate for money, eh.....?! Go to h*ll!!" And he drove faster. In an instant, the car dissapear from their sight. The dust of the speeding car left while Jessy and the others are still dumbfounded. They suddenly remembered their friend."Marigold!.... H-how's marigold?!" They approached the dazed and dumbfounded girl on the ground. Like them, her complexion was pale. "Marigold, marigold, are you okay?.... H-hey, w-what's happened to you?... breathe, marigold!" Jessy went frantic when she saw the appearance of the poor girl. In addition to her pale face, hes lips were also turned white, and what worried her was when she notic
She couldn't even make a move when someone suddenly grabbed her and covered her mouth, the girl was unable to scream. Because she felt her attacker wa tall and have a huge physics, she confirms that it was a man.When the man dragged her towards the window, Marigold suddenly felt a sense of familiarity when she smells his mild manly cologne. But she couldn't think anymore when she's being lifted and sat down in a cabinet.On that side, there was a slight light coming from outside the window, but even so, even if Marigold stared at the man's face, she could not see it clearly due to darkness and her blurred vision."Why? You don't recognize me? Hmm.....? Where're your glasses?" The man asked when he saw how the girl stared and scrutinizing him.Marigold wasn't too surprised to hear the familiar baritone voice. But, she never thought that he would barged in like this like a thief, his actions scared her and made her nervous.... She thought it was some bad guy. "M-Mr.... Atanante? W-
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
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
