All Chapters of The CEO's illegitimate daughter : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

I was born and taken to an orphanage while still an infant. Mrs Hope, the orphanage caretaker, noticed me and developed an immediate soft spot for me. I had no idea who my parents were until I was a young adult, and I never asked her about them, nor did she open her mouth to tell me the truth."Hello, good morning." Mrs. Hope wakes me up with a soft kiss on my cheeks and places my breakfast on top of the wooden table. She never enters my bedroom in the morning without bringing my meal.Today is the date of my job interview. Mrs. Hope has been rooting for the interview to go well from the start.I want this job so I can finally get my own apartment and leave the orphanage. After breakfast, I grabbed the CV from the table, kissed Mrs Hope on the cheek, and dashed to the interview in less than an hour.The traffic today was less congested than it was yesterday.

Mr Woods became enraged as soon as he saw me serving drinks to the guests. He took a step forward, grabbed my hand, and forced me into the kitchen."Who asked you to serve beverages to my guests?" He took the tray and placed it on top of the table."Oh! "What about your wife?" I responded by making it sound like a question. "Really? Has she lost her mind? He screamed, veins popping out of his head, before storming out to meet with his wife. Seeing Mr Woods upset with his wife was the last thing I wanted, which is why I did not want to cause a scene by telling him in the first place.I saw Mr Woods talking to his wife, and their facial expressions indicated that they were arguing about me."Hey, how are things going?" Before approaching me, Julia noticed them fighting as well."When Mr. Woods learned that his wife had asked me to serve, he became upset."
