She froze. She stared at him with wide eyes and raised eyebrows.
“Can you repeat what you said? I seem to have misheard you..”
“I said, what if I get a place of our own?”
She gasped. “So I heard it right.. Wait.. what? Why?”
He rubbed her thumb. “I want to take you to work, and pick you up after. I want to spend more time with you..”
She was shell-shocked. ‘Isn’t it too fast? Wait, is it? I know we’ve known each other for a long time and I do want to spend more time with him. But is it really okay? It’s not even a week since we became a couple.’
He didn’t hear any word from her after that.
At a red light, he took the opportunity to look at her.
He felt guilty for springing up such a proposal on her. He only wanted to be with her.
<“Kathy!” Rowena immediately brought her in for a hug. “Did you guys just pick up the car?”“Hi…” Katherine was still feeling shy about her new status as Morris’s girlfriend. No, she was shy about being anyone’s girlfriend as this is her first relationship.She was grateful though that apart from Diana whom she’s comfortable with, now Rowena was welcoming her as well. Not just as Diana’s friend. But as Morris’s girlfriend.“We picked up the other one. But the other one still needs to be delivered later on.”“Ah? You bought two?” Rowena’s brows shot up in surprise and so did the others.“Yes, one for uncle and aunt and the other for Kat..” He swung Katherine’s hand playfully, making the other smile. “I thought that it would be more convenient for uncle to t
Days later, the media was buzzing with news and gossip as talks about a member of the great families inheriting a business circulated.Everyone, especially those of the great families have tasked their members to attend the event in order to represent them. This would show that they support the family's decision and congratulate the heir.At the event, politicians and notable businessmen were in attendance as well. It was their opportunity to mingle with the elite and gain connections.The family's relatives were in attendance as well. One of them was the most excited, not because of the heir, but because of his cousin whom she has admired for a long time.Elyse Pascow was all dressed up and ready to head to the event. Her mother, Meraud Pascow had hired a hair stylist and makeup artist for her. She looked at herself in the mirror."Dear, you look like a princess..Red suits you!"
Everybody was all praise as Katherine walked in with Morris. They looked like a perfect match.The whole event was broadcasted live on a channel on TV and there was some reporting about it as well.During that time, those who followed them naturally tuned in to the event.One of them in particular was not all too happy to see it.She was seething in anger and jealousy as she watched Morris escort the young woman named Katherine. She couldn’t believe that he had already moved on. It hasn’t been that long since they called off their engagement. And now he’s already parading his new girl.‘Is he deliberately showing this to me? That he could get anyone he wants? Is that it? Morris.. Morris.. In the end, you still haven’t moved on from me, haven’t you? Well then, let me show you what you missed out on by letting go of me too easily. That girl with
As the event commenced in The Paragon Plaza, the host acknowledged the arrival of the guests. He had also called Lillian Forrest to the stage who gave a brief history on Forrest Hospital. Then it was Priscila’s turn to speak.She acknowledged the advancement that the hospital has gone through over the years while she was the President. They both expressed their support for the heir.At that moment, the host then called Sterling Atkins to the stage.Applause resounded in the plaza.“Good evening, thank you for coming. As a grandson and son, I’m thankful to them who are also my predecessors. They have guided me all these years and I am grateful for that. Today marks the day of a new leadership but I assure you, that we will always respect our history and stand by it. I am enthusiastic for our future endeavors! Look forward to it!” With that, he toasted to their future success.
The young woman in red was having such wild imagination that she didn’t even realize that the man she was trying to seduce didn’t even look at her. She had only paid attention to his body positioning. That he was facing her direction and not away. But even so, she made it so her eyelashes fluttered seductively and appeared coy, she didn’t notice that his eyes went over her head instead.“Let’s go.” His deep voice shot inside her ears, and down to her loins.‘It worked! It really worked! He’s taking me somewhere! Hahahaha Take that Diana! With just one move I have conquered him!’Lucas moved forward. She continued her act, lifting her hand for him to take, a seductive smile played on her lips.All of a sudden, she realized he didn’t take her outstretched hand. He had moved past her. She looked up to ask him where he was going without her. Ins
“Since when did the hospital become only for crazy people?” Katherine bit back. She stood close to Diana.“You! I’m not talking to you! Who do you think you are?!” Elyse slammed her palm against the table, shaking it.The wine in front of Diana almost spilled if not for Lucas's quick reflex and took it off the table.“Sir, please take her to the hospital. We wouldn’t want to be responsible for her alcohol toxicity.” Diana looked Remus in the eye. She has recognized him from the University.Remus nodded. “Yes, umm.. I apologize for this.”He held Elyse’s arm, attempting to take her away.“Let go of me..!” She protested.“That’s enough! Follow me obediently!” He shot her a glare.“Let go! You’re not my dad! I don&
“What was that about?”“Who was that woman?”“I think I know. She was screaming about having Lucas with her.”“Wait. Wait. I was in the bathroom just now. What happened? Did I miss it? I heard there was some spectacle going on here.. What was it about?”“Ah.. It’s about Lucas Ingram and a woman..”“Diana?”“No, different woman. I’m not familiar with her face.”“Oh my! Was Lucas Ingram cheating on Diana already???!”“Noooo! Did I say that? No, I did not. And sush..you’re going to get us in trouble with that mouth of yours..”“Geezz.. Then make it clear then.. What exactly happened?”“Tsk.. Listen well. Lucas and his family were sitting
It has been a week since Sterling was introduced as the new President of Forrest Hospital. His mother Priscilla now stays home and visits Lillian in their ancestral house or roam around doing some shopping, or catching up with friends. She was not considered old yet. But she was able to retire early knowing that the hospital is in good hands.For Sterling, there was only a slight shift of responsibility. All the things he’s doing now are what he has been doing since a year ago and even before that.There was no question that he would inherit the position of President of Forrest Hospital.Now that he’s in position, he has been swamped by stacks of documents needed to be signed or looked over. Investors keep seeking an appointment with him in hopes of a partnership. A long list of businessmen awaited his audience so they could pitch their proposal to him.They were banking on the fact that
