"Chesca!!"When Jonas arrived, he caught Chesca on act while harassing me.I can't let go of my dress, I feel like it's going to fall off at any moment if I Iet go of my grip.Jonas immediately came and helped me."Stop it!" Because Chesca didn't want to let go, Jonas slightly pushed her.Chesca stepped back and couldn't believe what jonas did. "Y-you dare to push me? Because of this slut?"Jonas picked up the coat from the floor and put it on me. "And why not? You are very violent. Besides, marigold is not a sl*t, okay?""Heh, she's not a sl*t? Did you know that she's been hanging out with brother Chardon while you're away?"Jonas was surprised and then turned to me. I spoke to him softly. "Nothing like that happened, I'll explain to you later." He made me put on the shoes he had brought and led me out of the mansion.While walking our way out, chesca was shouting on us and almost stopped us from leaving but there was nothing she could do, people kept looking at her because
"M-Mr. Atanante!" I fell back in shock when I saw him and because I wasn't wearing my glasses, But though I got dizzy and lost my balance, but he immediately stretched his hands and held me.We both stared at each other and even though my vision was blurry, I knew he was looking at me coldly.I became conscious when I remembered that my wet face. I looked away and got out of his grip, but he didn't let go, instead, he suddenly grabbed my face and brought it to him closely and we stared at each other again.I was the first to look back because I couldn't take it long and I felt like I was being burned by his gaze. I can even feel my face heating up."M-Mr. Atanante..." I tried to remove his hands off of my face."Be still." He commanded. I stopped struggling and stared at him again. I wondered, what's wrong with him?He didn't speak, he just stared at me. Are we just going to stare at each other? What does he want? D-does he wants to kiss me?I swallowed my saliva and my he
"Yes!!!""Finally, I can now experience my papa Ceo resort!""Atanante's grandeur? Isn't that grand? I always see it in magazines and always featured in grand events.""The booking is so expensive."A various comments from people around me.Someone approached Mrs. Valdez and called her, so she went back to her office first."Marigold, you can't not come, can you?""Yes. Remember that the idea that approved our proposal came from you, it's your idea.""That's why you should be there, at least give yourself a reward."My co-employee and group told me. Well, who said I won't come? I'll go of course!"Okay... guys listen!" We turned around when we heard Mrs. Valdez, she rubs her forehead."Maybe the outing won't go ahead..."The whole department gasped and there was a sudden discussion and commotion."Why Mrs. Valdez?""There was a problem. The CMO didn't want to approve the proposal. So... I think we need to re-do the marketing proposal and wait for the CMO's appraisal."The discu
In an exclusive resort villa, a man drinks a wine alone in a vast, dark room, lit only by a desk lamp. He watched the movement of the wine in the wine glass as he played with it and swirled it around.He couldn't understand himself... after that night, that gentle face kept coming to his mind, especially it's eyes that still seemed to have a hint of innocence. He felt like he wanted to reach out and hold it in his arms and kiss it.Chardon grinned and took a sip of wine. He still remembers the woman's natural scent. She didn't smell any perfume when he approached her. Even her hair and skin, especially her exposed neck, those were all natural.But... Maybe, there are those who are really ahead and there are also those who are step late, and among those who are lagging behind he belongs. Maybe he really cant get everything he wants.Yes. He's a Casanova, but he's not that ruthless. He will not take advantage of the few relatives he knows who really care about him..... He wil
The sun is up when Chardon woken up. When he looked on his side, there's no one next to him.He didn't mind where his new girlfriend was. When he got up, he felt pain on his head, then he remembered that he drank alone last night.Little by little, the fragments of events that happened in the courtyard last night came back to his memory: when he caught marigold picking a flower, the questions he asked her and the answers she gave him, the kiss that didn't go through when he saw the girl on her that was bothering him in the past few nights.Chardon pulled his hair because of the headache. He called out and asked medicine from the room service.He suddenly remembered marigold's glasses. He remembered that he took it off from her last night and didn't return it when he was led to his room.He searched it on the big desk, then he looked for it in the drawers, but he still couldn't find it.When he reached the nightstand, he saw a small note. He took it and read: 'Gone to madagascar
"Is one!... They're only one, is that all right? I want to leave now!" Jonas said almost crying. When he was about to stand up, Chardon suddenly pulled him to sit down. "Explain it clearly! What do you mean exactly?" Jonas crumpling his own face in frustration and annoyance, he already looks pitiful. "Brother Chard, what other explanation do you want? Do you think it's easy for me to reveal this? The tranquility of my life depends on it! Do you understand that? Then, you want me to repeat it?""I promise, I won't tell it to anyone... Especially Chesca if that's what you want. Just explain it clearly to me."Chardon seems bacame deaf to what Jonas said and it seems what he had heard did not sink into his brain. Although he already has an idea, he still wants to be precise.Jonas explained again, this time he made it slowly and clearly.Chardon's eyes sparkled when he finally understood the true situation of Jonas and Marigold.Jonas noticed a change in Chardon's reaction. Seei
I was awaken up when a warm light hit my face. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the source of the light. When I saw the sunlight outside the window, I sat up immidiately. it's already noon! I'm going to be late again!I Suddenly felt headache with a twinge. I felt like its being beaten or drilled. Did someone sneak up on me last night and hit me on the head?..... This won't do, I'll be late for work, I need medicine.When I got out of bed, I realized that something was wrong. When I looked up, I stunned when I saw that I was in another room! What's happening? This is not my room, why am I here?The only thing I remember before I fell unconscious was that we went to Jonas's friend's birthday party and then Chesca and I got drank together. After that, I didn't remember anything.Well, I'll think about it later. Time is running out and I have to get out of here.I looked and analyze myself, I just noticed that I was wearing something different. I think this's pair is the on
"Bullfrog!" Marigold suddenly blurted out as Carla surprised her and when she suddenly got shock. Carla then laughed out loud.When Marigold calmed down, carla handed her a file. "What's going on with you? I've been calling you for a while now. Why are you in daze?""Um..." Marigold scratched her head. She can't stop thinking and worrying about what Vivian told her yesterday at the elevator. She is worried that this might become a threat for her staying in the company.Marigold sighed. Sometimes she thought of looking for another company to avoid people like Vivian. She also feels that any time she make a mistake, the CEO might dismiss her for good just like what he threatened her."Why are you sighing like that? It's like as if you're burdened with a huge debt and overwhelmed with problem.""N-nothing.... Maybe I just lacked of sleep."That same day, there was a new gossip around C.A. Someone sent a photo of a woman and a middle-aged man to the employees.In the photo, the t
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
