51|Tarnished Reputation

Jasmine picked me up on time. Her car arrived moments after I reached the lobby. We went to the salon and pampered ourselves. All my muscles relaxed after enjoying the massage, skin, and hair treatment. To complete the day, we had them dress us up.“Thank you!” I gave my debit card to the cashier. “I like the result.”“You're welcome, Camari. Come again if you need our services,” she said kindly.Their services were cheaper than the previous beauty parlor when I was Farrell's wife. But the results were not far behind. My skin felt cleaner, my head felt lighter, and the makeup artist was excellent at applying makeup to Jasmine's face and mine.We stopped by a restaurant for dinner. There was still time before the club opened. We ordered food and drinks, then looked around us. The city never died even though it was late. We were grateful to still have a table."The announcement of Farrell and Bella's wedding is over the top." Jasmine rolled her eyes. "The whole city is filled with their

52|Behind the Defamation

"Deborah?" I called."Oh, my goodness!" Deborah squealed in surprise. She almost dropped the cell phone in her hand."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." I came closer and helped her calm down."Camari? What are you doing here?" she asked while rubbing her chest.I smiled sheepishly. "I couldn't sleep," I admitted. I sat on the chair across from her and stared at the several phones and tablets on the table. "What are you doing here?"She chuckled. "I come to this place sometimes to enjoy the night, especially when there's cool gossip. I don't want to miss the news. Oh." She glanced at the pan on the side of her gadget. "Are you hungry? I made a lot of pizza.""Thanks." I took one slice. The delicious aroma that I smelled earlier.She took my hand and looked at me with concern. "I didn't say this last Tuesday because Jasmine was there and she needed more comfort. I was sad to watch that press conference. I hope you move on soon. Forget that jerk."I smiled slightly. “Thank you, De

53|My Hero

[Otis]I couldn't wait to get back to my apartment, clean up, and wait for Camari to come home. I had to postpone that intention again. The family that hated me was suddenly so concerned about me that they bothered to come to me.Jasper stopped the car in front of a cafe. He turned off the engine and got out of the car first. Once at my side, he opened the door. He walked beside me as we entered the still crowded place.Dorothy smiled and walked in front of me. She chose the corner table that was guarded by her bodyguards. That way, no one could hear our conversation. I sat, sighing before sitting across from her."I told you, I don't want to see you again," I stated."You didn't answer my call, so I had to see you." She opened the menu book casually. "Arnold was gone. You're my only brother. Can't I be a little considerate to you?"I scoffed. "I don't have much time. Just tell me what you want.""Order, then we'll talk," Dorothy commanded. She called out her request to the waiter stan

54|Good Memories

[Camari]I didn't want to think about him, so I took it to the kitchen and put it on the counter as a decoration. I made myself some coffee and brought it to my desk. Only then did I knock on the CEO's office and see that Otis and Jasper had arrived.After greeting them, I told my boss our work schedule for the day. Just like Mr. Bloom, Otis didn't assign me to prepare drinks for him. I only needed to arrange his schedule, prepare the files he needed to check, and accompany him to certain events.Thus, after delivering his daily schedule, I left his room. I returned to my desk and prepared myself to lead the meeting. It was my third time standing in front of executives and their secretaries. I could do better.At the end of the meeting, Otis announced the company's eleventh anniversary. Although it wasn't a special number, he welcomed any ideas for activities to celebrate the anniversary. He asked them to submit their ideas to me."Seriously," I complained, looking at the second bouque

55|Provocative Images

"Gosh. Do you think Bella said that to Farrell and laughed at me?" I asked.I remembered that my three best friends supported my intention to have a child. Since I trusted them, I took them to a boutique to buy an evening gown. I was reluctant to go there alone because I needed help choosing the right outfit."You'll be happy again, Camari." Jasmine squeezed my hand. "The best way to repay them is to live happily. You lost your job, but you got the same position in a better company. Who knows, you might even get a richer husband.“He disguised himself as a commoner was very strange, too. Why would he do that? Was he afraid you'd be a gold-digger?" She scoffed. “Did he think that all ordinary women are proud to be the wife of a wealthy man?”I raised both my eyebrows. “You're not proud to be the wife of a rich man?” I teased.“Not if he dumps me in the end,” she stated.“Fair enough. The acting was okay.” I shrugged my shoulders. “I believe he genuinely cared for me for the six years we

56|Let's Be Friend

Arriving at the apartment, I didn't see Otis in the front room, so I checked in bedroom. Hearing the sound of water, it seemed like he was taking a shower. I sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at the picture of us in front of me.I turned my head when the bathroom door opened. I frowned as Otis ignored me and walked towards the closet. Didn't he see me? I walked up to the door and greeted him. He only nodded his head.I guessed I knew what was causing him to behave like that. I entered the bathroom and cleaned myself up. I could talk to him before bed. Deborah was right. There were many dramas in marriage."I talked to Eleanor earlier," I reported. I lay on his side after showering. I could tell he wasn't asleep from his irregular breathing. "She asked me to stay away from Grandpa."Otis didn't respond. I turned my head. Did he think I didn't know he got nervous whenever I was around him? I stroked his cheek. He held his breath. Wanting to tease him, I leaned closer and kissed his l

57|Intriguing Offer

[Otis]The man sent her red roses. Everyone knew what that meant. Camari was more compatible with Russell than I was. Their height difference wouldn't make people laugh at Camari. That was what she experienced when she had her picture taken with me.I was angry not at Camari, but at myself. I was too emotional after talking to my father. I was no different from Farrell and Father who took advantage of Camari's vulnerability. I married her to get my revenge.I shouldn't have offered the idea of marriage. Camari didn't deserve to live with a man she didn't want and love. She was too precious to live with a troubled man like me. How could she love me if I didn't love myself?"You're jealous," Jasper blurted out, breaking my reverie."I'm not jealous," I argued. "I regret marrying Camari and denying her the chance to marry a better man."Jasper scoffed. "You own Precious Fund Corporation—the fifth best financial company in the country—and are on the list of the richest people in the world.

58|Confidential Information

There was a knock on my door, so I let her in. Camari opened the door and announced the arrival of Isaac and Carlos. I got down from my chair and approached them. Camari served refreshments before leaving.Carlos had a very bright face as he handed me a thick brown envelope. I smiled as I shook my head slowly at his behavior. I glanced at Isaac for him to give the contract to Carlos. We simultaneously opened our materials.I didn't know what it was to die of shock. I only knew dying of fear. My childhood experience made me understand that feeling. However, the information I was reading was the kind of shock that could take my life.I looked at Carlos, who was looking at me with concern. I looked back at the paper in my hand. My ten fingers felt stiff, but I held the paper well. I was relieved when Jasper took it from my hand.“Sorry, I didn't know your reaction would be like this. If I had known, I would have warned you first,” Carlos said, feeling guilty.I shook my head. “There's no

59|Got Under Her Skin

[Camari]I smiled as I saw a bouquet of yellow roses on my desk in the morning. I looked for the card and read the contents. 'Thank you for being my best friend. R.G.'I took out my phone and messaged him. 'You're welcome, best friend.'Russell came at a bad time. Had he come before I got married to Farrell, I might have gone out with him. Although I was afraid our relationship would fall apart. He had many female fans. There must be women like Bella among them.Nicole offered to take the flowers to the kitchen, but I refused. I took a vase and filled it with water. I arranged the flowers in it and placed it on my desk. Otis came in, so I gave him the card from Russell. He smiled in understanding.My work piled up from morning until after work. Each division sent more than one idea for the company's anniversary celebration. I classified every similar idea to make it easier for me to report to Otis.The employees were enthusiastic about the anniversary. I looked through the old photo fi

60|Farewell Gift

Otis was in his office when I came home. I didn't want to disturb him. So, I went to bed first. I was feeling so happy that I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes, it was morning and I was excited to learn new skills from Jasper.I felt like my muscles were stronger and my body more flexible, but he refused to teach me any attacking moves. Unfortunately, all my protests couldn't make him change his mind. Nicole refused to teach me because I wasn't her pupil."Last night's show must have been really exciting," Otis guessed as we finished breakfast.I smiled happily. "The auction was fun. I managed to get the thing Bella wanted. It was satisfying to make her taste defeat.""That's a beautiful necklace," he complimented."Grandpa is so kind! You wouldn't believe me if I told you the price," I squealed in delight."I know. The necklace made the headlines of several media outlets," he reported."Really?" I unlocked my phone screen and selected one of the browsers. What were they reporting? Di
