All Chapters of Wife of the Next CEO: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"Haven't you missed me, my lovely sister?" he said teasingly, I must have sneered. "The last time I saw you, you were still bitten and didn't know where to pick you up after we kicked you out.""It benefited me, actually." Now I'm the one grinning at him. "On that specific day that both of you and your mother abandoned me, I started to learn to stand up with my own feet. Finally, I was no longer in that house, with you and your mother. mine to fulfill my dream because you yourself gave me the freedom to fulfill it."I slightly approached him. I glanced at her from head to toe. "Now look at me, Stacy. Can you measure how much I improved from before? Or could you perhaps reach my level?""What do I care if you're a famous actress now, Irene? When it comes to me, you're still a loser. If ever the news didn't reach you, I would like to inform you that I am Jestar's new brand ambassador."He really digged you about that, what? This Stacy really knows me, eh. He knows what my weakness is...

"What? You want to audition? For... what?""Are you floating?" he said laughing which makes me wonder if I throw a joke? "All I want to say is that you go to an audition to find a replacement for Eli. He's a popular artist and many people support him so, once the management calls for auditions, there will definitely be many who apply.""Nice idea," I answered nodding, understanding Julia's meaning.Actually, it's a good idea that Julia thought of. Instead of digging through social media to find a replacement for Eli, why not if we just hold an audition? That's easier than what I do, actually."Maybe you can bother Dylan and Warren to help you choose an auditionee to replace Eli, as those two already have a history in dancing. They can help Eli in de- decide," Julia asserted as if she's very sincere in persuading me."Okay, I'll let Eli know about this first," I answered with a smile, at the same time I said goodbye to Julia because Theo had come to pick me up.While I was sitting in t

"Is that Eli?" I immediately hung up when Papa spoke from behind."Oh... My manager, pa. I have an important appointment today." I approached him and then kissed his cheeks. "Gotta go, pa. Just call me if you need anything. Love you!"As soon as I went outside of the house, I entered the car and headed home to my condo. Yeah, I already have my own house, so it's just not the perfect time for me to live in that house with Papa. The location of the house is too far from my workplace, so I decided to just get a condo.During my free time or if I'm on vacation, I'll go and be with my father, of course.Going back to my conversation with Theo earlier that was cut short because of my father, I was happy when he announced that he succeeded in what I did to him. I just asked my dearest manager to think of a better plan to close Gretchen's salon.According to him, Theo paid double the person Gretchen had loaned to him to build his business. Theo pays that person to force Gretchen to pay the ba

"Did he?!" Magi shuddered, making a long, high-pitched noise. "So, what's the meaning of that? Does it mean, Israel started to remember the past?""I'm not sure," I paused for a moment to drink a small amount of coffee. "After he said that, I wasn't able to ask him anymore because he immediately took a taxi. I just let it pass, and I didn't inform Eli about that.""It's okay that you told us first because you're not one hundred percent sure that Israel remembers. Later it was just good time. You know? Even if someone has amnesia, no what they used to do will still be erased from their bodies.""Indeed, Julia. I know you memorized Israel's moves because way back in college, you were really his favorite trip, huh." Magi chortled while reminiscing about the past... which I'm not included in.Surely, their friendship was solid then. I can see in their eyes how they miss everything in the past, very much appealing to move forward in the present... adjusting to a bigger change."I don't wan

The battle of stares between us cut short by Eli. Right before the music ends, he immediately took me away from Israel because of our weird position. It's not part of the choreo that Israel suddenly did, it's strength to know. I also felt awkward because of that. My heart is very OA with the speed of its beating."Your moves are impressive, Israel." I turned my attention to Eli who was staring intently at Israel. "But learn to limit those. Prevent yourself from crossing the boundaries. You're making me jealous."I haven't even gotten over what Eli said when he suddenly pulled me out of that room. I can feel the heavy aura that he carries because of the way he holds my hand... so tight that he doesn't seem to want to let me go."Are you mad?" I mustered up the courage to ask him in the midst of walking."Why would I?" he returned."Come on, Eli. I know you are." I stopped from walking, I was stubborn that he couldn't pull me to walk."Now you're being jealous? Who decided this? Wasn't
