"Aunt, you shouldn't be polite. How is grandpa though?" Gloria said rather shyly.Hearing her question, Mrs. Leah Clemons sighed. "As you can see. He is unconscious now. We are all hoping for him to open his eyes in the next forty eight hours or else..." Mrs. Leah didn't continue her sentence.Mr. Damian Clemon also added. "Dad would be fine so you shouldn't worry.""I sincerely hope he does or I wouldn't know how Nathan would feel." At that, she then spoke up again as if she had just remembered something. "Aunt, where is Nathan?""Nathan left for home last night. I think he should be on his way here now." Mrs. Leah Clemons replied. "Okay then. I would wait for him here then. Aunt why don't you take this time and leave for home. I would keep grandpa company. You can go rest for a while. I would be here." Gloria then said sweetly.Mr. and Mrs. Clemon looked at Gloria with gaze which showed how fond they were of her.Mrs. Clemons then though. What an adorable child. If it wasn't what h
Hilda held onto the edge of her dress unconsciously. He wants me to kiss him. But...Hilda then placed her bag in the passenger seat of her new car then walked meekly towards Nathan with her head held low.She stopped right in front of Nathan and stared at him before retracting her gaze. "Close your eyes." She then said in a low voice.Amused at her actions, Nathan stared into her eyes. Hilda blushed when she noticed how Nathan was staring at her. She immediately turned around with her face red. "Cl- close your eyes Nathan." She repeated herself this time stuttering.Nathan looked at her every reaction then smiled. "My eyes are closed."Hilda then turned around and looked at him. She was caught in a daze when she looked at him who had his eyes closed. 'Oh God! Nathan truly lives to the prince charming of every girl. Awwwn, he is too handsome.'She was too much in a daze that she didn't notice that the man had his eyes opened and was currently staring at her too. 'She is really the sam
Nathan had just walked into the hospital's corridor when he heard laughter coming from the old man's ward.He frowned and hurried his footsteps. To his surprise, when he opened the door to the ward, he saw his mom cracking jokes with a lady who had her back to the door. Taking a closer look at her, his gaze darkened. What is Gloria doing here? Isn't she suppose to be overseas taking care of their family's company?Walking in Nathan loosened his eyebrows. "Mom.."Mrs. Leah Clemons smiled. "My dear you are here. Gloria has been waiting for a while now. She was worried about you when she heard about the Patriarch's illness so she rushed here to keep you company.""Gloria" Nathan nodded his head at her only after hearing his mom.Gloria then jumped on him and hugged him tightly. "Nate, I miss you so much. How are you doing?"Nathan frowned and replied calmly whiles pulling her out of his embrace. "I'm doing fine. You shouldn't be here."Gloria held onto his hand and pouted. "Aren't you ha
However, Hilda wasn't in the mood to pay him any attention. She just shook his hands which was on her shoulders. "Please show me some respect."However Daniel still held onto her and roared. "What do you think you are doing? I asked you to quit and here you are planning to quit. Which means that you ain't going to work and no company would hire you with your current reputation. Have you not thought about the consequences? Don't you want to continue working here? Don't you want to fulfill you dreams of becoming a domineering female CEO? If you promise me that you would break up with both Mr. Rex and the man in the Maybach, I would forget about asking you to quit right now. Hilda, you can't just give up like this!"Upon seeing her keeping mute and looking lifeless, Daniel became frustrated.Isn't she always confident and stubborn in herself? Why is she giving in to me all of a sudden?Sadly, Hilda ignored him. After packing up all her materials and stuff into a box, she carried it and w
"Wait!"Daniel was furious as he chased after Hilda's car but he quickly lost her. He kick his feet into the air again and again. On the other hand, Williams felt defeated. Even though he never told Hilda about his feeling for her, he felt confident as Hilda was still working under the same roof with him.However, watching her leave at this moment he had an illusion that it would be impossible to ever see her again. She doesn't even know that someone like me exists. He then sighed.Afterwards, Williams patted Daniel's shoulder. "Alright, she is gone now. Let's get back inside there are people watching."Daniel was burning with rage as he already knew Williams also had feelings for Hilda. He swatted his hand away and sat on the ground."It is useless for you to sit on the ground now. She is gone! You had her but didn't appreciate her. You finally got what you wanted. You left her no choice Daniel..." Williams murmured when he saw how Daniel looked.Daniel's gaze darkened and he got up
Hilda was indeed taken back by the price. 'Five thousand and fifty five dollars!' that was just too much for just a bag. She just quit her job and had already wasted enough money after she came back from overseas.How is she going to fork out five thousand and fifty five dollars! She stared at Gloria not knowing how to refute. At this time, her phone rang as she received a notification.She thought it was Naima who was impatient but to her surprise, it was a message from Nathan which stated. "Sorry Pumpkin. I forgot to debit your account. Now it is done. You can use it for anything you may need. I promise to give you a card later tonight. Kisses."Hilda was amazed as she smiled.When Gloria saw the smile on her face she became furiously. "How dare you smile after ruining my bag?"Hilda snorted. "What? I can't smile anymore just because your bag is ruined? Tell me your account details let me send the money to you." Although Hilda didn't want to use the money Nathan had sent, that was t
Several people were approaching with a woman in the center who was wearing a tailor made dress which accentuated her statuesque body. Her heels contrasted the gleaming marble floor.'Oh my..' Hilda gasped. Not her again. The lady that arrived at the shop and had caught everyone's attention in a fraction of a second was none other than Carmen, her sister. No step sister. And standing right beside Carmen was none other than Gloria, the lady she had a fight with earlier in front of the restaurant.As Carmen was a model, she was well none within the entertainment industry. And Gloria was also quite famous among the socialite diva's as she was the president of the Sanchez Entertainment media.As if sensing someone's gaze on her, Carmen turned to look at her. Hilda's heart skipped a beat that she turned her head back and stared back at the dress. She shut her eyes and prayed in desperation. 'God please let her not see me! Please let her not see me."Only then did something hit Hilda. She o
Never had Carmen suffered such mockery as she was treated like a princess in the Adams family and all who knew her treated her with utmost respect. She was seething in anger as she held her swollen cheeks.She glared furiously at Naima but didn't dare to say anything when she saw Naima and Hilda coming out of the dressing room and walked out of the mall. "Are you letting her go just like that?" Gloria asked Carmen rather puzzled. "Look at how she hit you but you letting her walk away just like that?""I'm not letting her walk away. As you can see I'm no match for her but I would make sure she pays for hitting me." Carmen's gaze darkened as she spoke.Gloria nodded in response before asking. "And who is that girl with her to you? How do you know her?""She is my sister""Your sister?" Gloria was puzzled."Yes. She is my sister." Carmen didn't want to talk to Gloria about Hilda at that moment so she took out her card and handed it to the sales lady after saying that. "Swipe it"After p
