They both came out of the Jones building and headed to Charles' car. He opened the car door for her and then he immediately turned around to ride on the driver's seat. Just after a while, they were already heading out of the Jones Holders premises. "Can you give me the address of your place?" Charles suddenly asked as soon as they were on the highway. Her eyebrows were drawn together and then suddenly remembered. "You know where my grandma's home is, right?" She said to her. She could still remember that Charles and her were actually playing in that old house whenever he and his grandmother would visit her grandma. She could still remember those days when they were just young and all they did was play. She couldn't recall when her heart started to beat for him. She just realised that one day, she felt different towards him and she couldn't tell if her grandmother actually noticed that and that was one of the reasons why she and Charles' grandmother came up w
Yes. Should I need to explain?" Elizabeth replied in a smug tone. "Well, I guess, you don't trust me at all," she added and then shrugged her shoulders. She really made him feel that she was not happy with the kind of reaction that he was showing to her. "No, I am sorry. I just couldn't quite imagine that you are actually living with your assistant," the man said without beating around the bush. She could see that somehow there was disappointment that crossed his face. "What's wrong with it?" She said and her eyebrows were drawn together. She knew what she meant but she wanted to make him feel that he was trying to insinuate something that she didn't like. How could she think that way to her? Was she really the type of woman that would jump in bed with any man that she had met? If only Charles knew that no one had screwed her like what he did except for him. She shook her head with disappointment after she had heard what he said. Charles
Two weeks had passed since what happened between her and Charles at the office and it never happened again. "Ellie, here's the report," Arnold handed her the folder. She could feel her heart beating so fast as she looked at the folder. She knew that the moment that she opened the folder, she would be able to know what really happened to Albert, the man who didn't want anything but to help her get the justice and the birth right of her son. She had a strong feeling that she was closer to unveiling the truth and to give justice in his death. She would make sure that his death wouldn't go in vain. She took a deep breath while she opened the envelope slowly. She couldn't understand but there was like a drum rolling inside her chest as she opened the envelope. Her eyes were drawn together as she saw the information that was written in the report. She couldn't help the anger that suddenly rose inside her chest after she read everything that was written there. All alon
Charles was not surprised by the urgent meeting that Elizabeth had requested. He just shook his head when he heard that she instructed everyone in the conference room. He already had an idea of what it was all about but the woman didn't know that he already knew that she was going to do this. He couldn't imagine how he was able to keep himself cool after what the woman had done. The two shareholders were loyal to him. They were one of the first shareholders so they informed him about Elizabeth's plan. He couldn't help but wonder what the woman was up to. It seemed that she had talked to the wrong person and he was given a heads up that she was about to do something in the company. He was thankful to those two because of their loyalty but something came inside his mind. He spoke to them about the negotiation that Elizabeth was doing with them. And, he couldn't understand that instead of getting furious, he wanted to go by her flow and he didn't want to oppose her plans. He
Elizabeth gradually opened her eyes but before she could roam her gaze around as she felt that she was in an unfamiliar room, she already heard Charles' voice. She felt a bit weak. "How are you feeling now? Is there anything that hurts?" His voice filled with concern based on his tone. She looked at Charles and then he stood next to her bed. "What happened?" She asked as she held her forehead. She was feeling a bit dizzy. She could see her surroundings turning around. She couldn't understand what kind of feeling she had at the moment. So she decided to closed her eyes again. "You lost consciousness, that's why we brought you here in the hospital. You looked pale and you were in pain," Charles said full of worry and concern in his voice. "Also, you have to take care of yourself and our baby," Charles added which made the heart skip a beat. She didn't know what exactly she should say as she opened her eyes again. There were a lot of
Elizabeth was discharged the same day that she was brought in the hospital since she passed out because she was pregnant and nothing else. But instead of going back to the office, Charles drove her back to her house. She was just quiet while they were on their way because there were a lot of things that were running inside her head. There were some changes in her plans but she was hoping that soon she would be having the victory in her hands. "Thank you," she said when the car stopped in front of her grandmother's house. She immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and got off at Charles' car. "Let me get you inside of the house," Charles suggested, which she didn't refuse. She couldn't figure out what was running inside the man's head. Since he found out that she was pregnant with their child, he seemed to be so gentle to her and all he wanted to do was look after her. He had changed but like what she had thought earlier. It was so late for him to do everythi
Charles didn't know what to say. He was speechless because of what Daniel reported to him. He remembered his mother's reaction earlier after she learned that Elizabeth was taking over the company and at the same time the words of Elizabeth before he left her flashed in his mind. Thieves inside the company. He was starting to have a clue what was going on inside the company as he tried to connect the dots. The two important women in his life seemed to be up to something that he didn't know. After he got all the information he needed from his assistant and all the meetings he needed to attend and also the documents that he needed to sign, he dismissed him. He wanted some time alone. He wanted to think about all the things that were happening around him. But Daniel was about to open the door when he spoke. The man was stopped from what he was about to do. "Ahm, Daniel," he said, sounding hesitant. His assistant's eyebrows lifted. "Yes, sir?" He as
Elizabeth was startled when she heard Charles' voice. What was he doing here? That's the question that was inside her mind She didn't expect that he was here and he even had the courage to ask if he could join them for dinner. But before she could even respond to him, Arnold already did. "Yes, please come join us," Arnold said and then he stood up to get a plate and cutlery for Charles who was already sitting next to her. If she would be asked, she didn't want to eat with the man but Arnold was just kind. She couldn't believe that Arnold could still let the man in after what they had found out. It was as if nothing actually happened for Arnold or she could just be mistaken? "How are you feeling now?" Charles asked which brought her back to her senses. "Better," she replied blandly at him and then she put food in her mouth. She was worried that Charles might have heard what she and Arnold were talking about earlier before his voice echoed
