After Connor got all of his workers fired from the accounting department. He dashed into his office with Jack behind him while they devised a plot about how to overthrow Luc and make sure that his plans backfires. Connor heaved a sigh of relief on seeing that there was a high possibility of his plans coming to pass. He swept the hair that fell on his face back while downing a glass of water before taking in a deep breath that calmed all his nerves. Connor plopped on the swivel chair, rotating in its axis as he plugged in his airpods and anyone who saw him at that moment would think that he was listening to music not knowing that he just did that to while away time. He glanced at the wall clock that ticked slowly and he was about to stand to his feet when his personal assistant, Scott walked in with his hands folded behind his bacUsek and Connor didn't need any soothsayer to tell him that Scott was fiddling with his fingers. It made Connor wonder if he was that scary for Scott to al
Connor's eyes grew wide when he heard what his father reiterated. The shock on his face was so evident that it felt like his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He leaned back in the chair and that was when he wished that his life should have been different from the beginning then he wouldn't have to be betrothed to Liliana at an early age. “Did she really say that?” Connor questioned his father who nodded carefully to his word. Connor leaned forward with his arms while burying his head on his palm as he cradled his head in his hands. Connor knew what Liliana was trying to do by revealing what happened earlier to his father but at the moment, he had a business trip with Jack. He exhaled out sharply, glancing at his father who stared at him tentatively as if he was waiting for his words. “You should have told us that Liliana was pregnant then we would have made her come live with us till she gives birth to your child and our first grandchild” Connor’s father muttered and Con
Connor could see the confused look on his father's face when Carolina lowered her head before him. Carolina might be the one that he chose first but the one his parents wanted for him was Liliana.Introducing Carolina as the person he wanted to be with might turn out to be extremely disastrous for him since his parents were still recuperating from the loss of Liliana’s child while thinking that it was their grandchild. “I need to do something about Liliana! I need to make her call off the wedding herself! We can never get married since I have found my mate” Connor thought inwardly as he quickly rushed toward Carolina before his father could ask further questions. “And who is she?” His father questioned, glancing back and forth between Carolina and Connor.“She is a friend, father. She's good friends with Kayla as well, she's staying over at my place for a while” Connor responded, smiling awkwardly while squeezing her on the shoulder gently. Carolina's eyebrows furrowed in confusion
Carolina had no idea about Liliana’s miscarriage and she thought that she was just temporarily ill or maybe she was just reacting to some kind of drugs or something. However, she was taken aback when she heard about her losing her child but what she couldn’t understand was how Connor could act so indifferent like it didn’t matter to him. She was also confused when Connor didn’t allow her to visit Liliana at the hospital and only Kayla went. Currently, Connor was on a business trip with Jack and even though Carolina disliked Liliana greatly, she couldn’t help but develop a sudden feeling of hate toward him when she also confirmed from the maid that he treated Liliana badly at the hospital.Maybe she was just expecting too much from him because she shouldn’t expect too much from someone who used her as collateral for a debt. She heaved a sigh, rubbing her hand through her hair while staring intently at her reflection in the mirror.She hissed because she wasn’t only extremely bored b
A scoff escaped Liliana's lips on hearing the words that fell out of Carolina's mouth. She knew that Carolina was pretty audacious but never had she in her wildest imaginations imagined that Irene would push her away in that type of way. She stood to her feet, sweeping the hair that fell on her face to the back as she gritted her teeth.When Carolina heard the ruffled sound behind her, she turned to look in the direction that the voice emanated. She shook her head in nothing but sheer pity for Liliana when she caught sight of her fists that were clenched by her side."I think that it is in your genes to start looking for trouble when you haven't even recovered from the miscarriage! Like I said earlier, if you don't have anything to do, I would suggest that you find something to do because from now henceforth, I wouldn't be tolerating you again!" Carolina warned Liliana sternly while pointing her middle finger as if she wanted to poke her right in the eye. Liliana shoved her hands off
Carolina and Liliana both turned to look in the direction where the voice emanated. Liliana rolled her eyes on catching sight of the person that was standing at the door while Carolina’s mouth was agape as she lowered her head while clutching the handle of the chair tightly. A deafening silence enveloped the room and the only noise that could be heard was that of the wall clock that ticked slowly. Kayla broke the silence by making a huff while sauntering toward Liliana with a look that depicted how much she was embarrassed about Liliana’s behavior. She glanced at Carolina whose hair fell on her face while taking her hands in hers. She screwed her eyes shut, burying her face in her palm before raising her head. She exhaled sharply while bobbing her head slowly like she was trying to process something in her head. “Liliana, I know that you and I aren't the best of friends and we just recently bonded while you were at the hospital but I would love to ask this question. What has Caroli
Carolina bit on the piece of cake as different thoughts raced through her mind. Liliana's words lingered in her head and caused her to ponder on what Liliana said to her. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but conclude that everything Liliana said made a lot of sense. "Hmmmph" Carolina squeezed her eyes shut as she savored the taste of the cake made with vanilla flavor in her mouth. Kayla baked her a cake in a bid to cheer up her mood after she almost engaged in a physical altercation with Liliana. Liliana was also given a piece of the cake but she rejected it and claimed that she was on a diet. Kayla also claimed that she was on a diet as well and because Carolina despised anything relating to food wastage, she vowed to devour the cake and she also shared some with the maid.She heaved out a sigh and shoved the plate filled with cake aside as she leaned forward with her forearm on the table while cradling her head in her hands. She raised her head when she no
Liliana bit the corner of her lower lips in regret as soon as she caught sight of Kayla who was standing at the door. She was at a loss for words to say, fiddling with her fingers while exhaling out loudly. She smiled awkwardly and ran her hands through hair while she began to scratch herself on the head.The feeling of nervousness was boldly written on her face as she lowered her head while trying to create a mental note. She knew that she totally had no explanation to give Kayla that would make her words believable enough. First of all, Kayla was the type of person who hated when people rummage through her personal belongings without permission. She disliked people that would get handy around her stuff."Should I just apologize to her and put an end to this issue before it escalates into something that I would have no control over?" Liliana thought to herself while contemplating if she should apologize to Kayla or just act like nothing ever happened.Assuming that it was Carolina w
