Nathalie couldn't answer Nigel's question as it made her ponder deeply, should she confess her fear of loving him again? What would be his response if she did? Though intrigued, Nathalie hesitated. Knowing her priority wasn't rekindling their romance, especially with the company's ongoing crisis and her health issues."Nathalie, are you still there?" Snappped back to reality, Nathalie apologized to Nigel and directly hung up. She slumped against her chair and letting out a deep sigh. She rubbed her temples. Only now did she realize that its really difficult to have a complicated relationships and she didn't want to get involve with this again.........Upon entering the company, Nathalie immediately sensed a strange and weird gazes among her colleagues. She couldn't help to have an urge to rub her forehead, she wondered; 'What malicious reason could be behind their peculiar stares this time?'Nathalie diverted her attention from the unfavorable glances, channeling her energy into h
Nigel cleared his throat while Nathalie went blushed like a ripe tomato. The man unconsciously fix himself despite that his impeccable business attire and neatly combed hair was just right. Nathalie abruptly stood up, creating distance between herself and her ex-husband. She sits in one of the sofas not far away.Nigel cleared his throat once again and asked awkwardly, "Um, what were we discussing again?""About sending me a bouquet of flowers...." Nathalie's sterness returned. "I'm telling you again, Mr. Sarmiento - stop sending me flowers or anything else. I don't want anything from you."Nigel pau sed for a moment. "Fine, but I have one condition." Nathalie raised an eyebrow. "You're giving me conditions? Seriously? And who do you think you are to give me conditions?"Nigel ignored her displeasure, he doesn't seems to hear anything. "My conditions are; From now on, keep me posted on your plans and who you're hanging out with.""What?!" Nathalie blew up, age suddenly stood up. "Hey
"How is it going?" Nigel asked over the phone. He still at the company, working overtime."Sir, Ms. Andeza visited a high-end hotel. Unfortunately, the receptionist declined to provide the confirmation of her check-in, citing their hotel confidentiality and privacy policies."The guy Nigel hired to tail Nathalie got back to him.Nigel's expression turned stern. He dropped his pen and stood up. He adjusted his slightly rumpled suit and instructed; "I understand. Keep surveillance until I arrive." He then promptly headed to the hotel.When he arrived at the hotel, he easily tracked Nathalie's whereabouts using his connections. As he walked down the hallway, he spotted her while heading into the restroom. He quietly followed her and dragged her inside."Let me go, who are you?" Nathalie struggle againts whoever was pulling her inside of the restroom, but was stunned to see who it was. "N-nigel?" She slightly pushed him and distanced herself from him. "What is it again, why are
When Nigel suddenly rose from his seat, Nathalie inferred she had successfully provoked him. She assumed he would leave but was surprised when he approached her. It was only then that she realized everything when she was suddenly lifted up from her seat. She almost wrapped her arms around the neck of someone who lifted her. Everything happened so fast; Nathalie just figured out she was now sitting in her ex-husband's lap. She reacted quickly and would have stood up immediately but the man was faster than her as he hold both of her hands tightly. "Nigel Sarmiento, what are you doing? let me go!" Both of her cheeks were starting to turn red with embarrassment, she never expected her ex-husband to behave this way. She tried to get away. "N-nigel, please..... it's embarrassing..." She said, glancing around awkwardly. "Embarassing? Are you embarrassed of me now?" Nigel glanced at the people around. He saw that only the women there were glancing at the two of them while the men acted as
As soon as Nigel walked into the café, he look around and started searching for Nathalie. He then spotted her in the corner while waving at him. He subtly adjusted his tailored suit and approached slowly. He inadvertently caught the attention of the socialite women dining nearby who began casting admiring glances at him.Seeing the women's reactions, nathalie suddenly became irritated. She rolled her eyes at Nigel. "What took you so long?" she snapped as the man approached and sat down.Nigel ignored her question and promptly took the two menus politely offered by the approaching waiter. "Order whatever you'd like," He said after placing a menu in front of her.Nathalie gently pushed it back. "I'm fine, I'm full.""Just order coffee, then." The man suggested while choosing what he's going to order without lifting his gaze. "Heh, coffee? Are you sure?" Asked Nathalie.Nigel looked up upon hearing the sarcastic response of the woman infront of him, his brow slightly raised. He's abou
As soon as Nathalie walked inside the building, she fixed herself up, pulling down her skirt and fixing her hair. She then approached the receptionist. "Excuse me, I'm here to see the CEO.""Just a second, ma'am, I'll just check if you have an appointment, what's your full name?" After checking her list: "I'm sorry ma'am, you don't have a schedule."Nathalie was taken aback. "There's nothing? But he told me last night to come here anytime."The receptionist did not answer but looked at Nathalie with slight doubt.When Nathalie saw this, she couldn't help to rubbed her own forehead. "Miss, I know you're just doing your job, but believe me, your boss and I really had a talk. Maybe you can let me in?""I'm sorry, ma'am. Unfortunately, granting you access contradicts our receptionist policy, and I would be held personally responsible for any consequences."Nathalie's plea did nothing so she went to the corner to make a call. She discovered that she actually blocked her ex-husband. She un
The meeting was over but Nigel's still in the meeting room. He propping his chin with a knitted brows and looks somewhat in a bad mood. Just a while ago, he scolded some of his executives during the meeting regarding of their work mistakes, he even unaware of the chaos that happened in the lobby.Andy, his assistant, stood nearby, while giving him an occasional glance. He wanted to ask him what to do next but was intimidated as he knew his boss disposition was not quite good.Amidst boredom, Andy picked up the laptop on the table and began exploring ways to pass the time, but he inadvertently accessed the CCTV footage. He's about to exit when his eyes caught the footage in the lobby. He was intrigued to see that there seemed to be a commotion going on there.He scanned the two guards dragging a woman followed by the facilities manager. When he noticed that the woman was good looking, he commented. "Tck, tck, tck..... Such a beautiful lady but lack of refinement."He convered his mou
As Natalie's eyes fluttered open, she was met with a sterile white environment. She instantly realized she was in a hospital."Nat! You're finally awake, how are you feeling?" Her mother, Lucille, asked abruptly with worry in her face. "What happened, why you suddenly had an attack? I thought your condition wasn't that serious when Lorraine told me about your situation, it turns out...." She sobbed between her words."Mom...." Nathalie reached out to rubbed her arm. "My condition isn't that serious, I'm just agitated. Besides, I was dragged by those two guards, that's why." She stopped abruptly when she remembered something important. "Goodness! I almost forgot!" She hastily removed the blanket and quickly got out of bed."Hey, what's happened to you? Where are you going?" "Mom.... I-Ineed to talk to Nigel!" W-what? nat,wait!" But before she could step out of the room, she nearly bump to her father at the door. "Where are you going, do you feel better now?"When Nathalie revealed
"See, isn't he's so shameless? How thick his face was to blame others when it all started with him! If he hadn't secretly hooked up with your snake of a friend, would you guys end up in this state? I really wondered, what kind of mindset your ex-husband has. Good grief! The good thing is that you're finally free from him." Said the agitated Lorraine after she told everything to nathalie about what she went through because of Nigel. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Nathalie massaging her temples. "Nat, are you alright? What's wrong?" She checked on her heart monitor watch."I'm fine 'mie. I apologize for what Nigel had done to you." "Hump! Why are you apologizing on his behalf? He should be the one to apologize to me. And don't ever defend him, he's not even worthy of your concern.""Fine, can you just calm down now? You've been agitated since earlier. What's important is, the cops didn't take side with him and they didn't detain you illegally. But, I have a request for you.
The middle-aged woman stared at Nigel's face. When she confirmed who it was, she sarcastically laughed. "Oh, just look at the coincidence. So it's you? How are you, Mr. Sarmiento? You're still alive?"Nigel's grip on the woman's arm tightened. "Of course, I'm still alive, and I won't die yet - not until you receive the punishment you deserve.""Ha?" Lorraine went puzzled. "What are you talking about? Do I owe you something I didn't know?"Nigel shook her violently out of rage; he didn't seem to care that she was a woman or that she was old enough to be his mother. "Stop denying it! You're only making your guilt worse. Just admit what you've done already!"Lorraine resisted. "Let me go, you're hurting me!" When she managed to break free, she immediately distanced herself. "Are you insane? What am I supposed to have done that you're talking about?" "However much you deny it, I won't let you get away with it. You're such a vile woman; you shouldn't be a doctor, you should be in jail."
