"Dera, what are you doing?" Frank asked when he returned, his voice making Dera come back to reality. His eyes fell to the paper in Dera's hand and she placed it on the table in front of her before smiling up at him. She had wanted to glance through it, but Frank had returned before she had a chance."Frank, can I work for your new jewelry company?" Dera asked.Frank's face furrowed. He sat down in his swivel chair and said, "Dera-""You've been looking out for me all along. I'm a jewelry designer too, and I'd like to be helpful to you."It was then that, at such words from Dera, the lines between Frank's eyebrows grew tenser. He thought about her illness, and a mixed-up feeling seeped into him."Do you think that I cannot maintain a job in my state?" Dera said weakly and pathetically.Frank's conscience was full of guilt, and he didn't know how to act in order not to hurt her ego by denying her demand.He coughed and said, "Surely you can work. You can report in as one of the designe

"He still thinks the world revolves around him," I complained to myself.Frank had already left, but anger was still burning within me. I returned with a new name to leave my past behind and start fresh, but it seemed I got entangled with Frank and Dera once more.My eyes flashed as I recalled the thug's words before he torched the warehouse. Someone had wanted me out of the way, and I could only assume that it was Dera.With Frank now fawning over me with undue attention, I knew it was only a matter of time before I was Dera's target again."I had to keep away from Frank as much as I could in order to protect myself and my children," I rationalized. If Dera found out I had Frank's children, heavens only know what she'd do to them. Dean caught sight of my face and inquired, "Do you know Frank?"It was strange the way the man seemed to follow me wherever I went.I went back to the present after that question. I smiled and answered, "How can I be familiar with such a famous man? I was j

"Lycia." I snarled clenching my teeth. "Dare to call me a Bitch?"I had only been joking her after I accused her of stalking me, but I never expected her to call me one.Enrage surfaced in me as I stared at Lydia."Don't scumbags do things like this?" Lydia asked with politeness. "You have no need to get that close to me, Mr Lanka. Respect yourself and be professional."My teeth would grit as I turned away from Lydia. I sneered and retorted, "Don't be so full of yourself, Miss Lydia."Lydia let out a sigh of relief. Me coming this close made it hard to keep her hatred in check and she didn't want to expose herself."I'm not full of myself, but I do expect both of us to be professional and not cross any lines," Lydia said firmly.I glared but did not say anything because I was trying to calm down from the shame of having been rejected."Why did you come back to my office, anyway? I'm closing up," Lydia informed me.She did not like that I continued to show her attention. I was trouble.

As predicted by the genius designer, Dera Pete. Her design is so beautiful and original.""Dera Pete's comeback is so powerful! Wow! I need to buy jewelry with her design right now!"I grinned when I read the posts on the social media platforms. I was again making the headlines of jewelry news after all these years, and it filled me with pride. Frank's jewelery store had introduced some jewelry pieces using the new design done by me. The moment the jewelry was put up for sale, they sold out in minutes. Many customers were looking for the new jewelry design and even ordered special to have more jewelry created. News was everywhere on social media. I was in the news once again for my wonderful designing skills.Frank was in a good mood because of the good news. Although it caught him by surprise since I had not shown it to him before taking it to the production team, the response was so encouraging that he did not mind."I did not know you have already finished your design," he said whi
