AFTER AUGUST left the meeting room, he worked at the CEO’s office and did errands. He organized some documents and schedules. The work time didn’t take long for him as was busy, and a couple of hours later, it was already lunchtime. He almost wasn’t able to notice it if his gaze didn’t move on the wall clock.He was just waiting for Charles to stand up first and stop working. August was already famished, but if the CEO isn’t taking a break yet, neither could he.He stared at Charles for so long, who doesn’t seem to mind working for a long time. Charles was silently reading one of the documents when he noticed August, who didn’t even bother to look away, even when he caught him. “It’s rude to stare, child,” said Charles as his brows furrowed. Confusion was evident in his expression as well. “You wanted to ask me something?”“Aren’t you going to eat, sir?” asked August. His gaze flickered between the wall clock and Charles. “It’s lunchtime.”“I’ll eat later.” Charles continued what

WITH HIS brows furrowed, August waited for Maxine to speak. However, after a few seconds, Maxine did was to heave a sigh repeatedly. Her lips opened and closed like she was contemplating what to say.“It's okay,” August assured her when he saw her pained expression. “If it's that hard to say, then you can keep it to yourself for now—”“Master Charles is sick,” said Maxine as she suddenly found the courage to speak.“What?”August was stunned. He blinked his eyes twice, his lips parted in shock, and he even forgot to breathe because of the shock he felt.“I'm sorry.” He leaned his face towards Maxine. “Pardon?” The tip of his brows pressed more as he waited for Maxine to speak again. He wanted to believe that he just heard her wrong.But by looking at how tears cascaded from Maxine's face, he knew that he heard everything right. He was just in denial of it.“Master Charles… is sick,” Maxine spoke again slowly and with a lower voice this time.August closed his eyes, feeling the sudden

SUDDENLY, Myra opened the door and went outside the room. She needed to bring some documents to the marketing department under Katie’s instruction.As soon as she closed the door, Myra saw someone who was taking a peek at the window inside their department.Her brows furrowed as she narrowed her eyes, trying to decipher who that man was. She was sure he wasn't an employee because of his expensive suit. However, she couldn’t see the man clearly because his back was facing her.“Do you need something?” asked Myra as she approached the man who suddenly flinched because of shock.Only to curse at the back of her mind as she saw who was the man in front of her.‘Shit!’“G-Greetings, sir,” said Myra, slightly stuttering, as she bowed down with her gaze fixated on the floor. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you.”It’s no other than Harvey Johnson! She always saw him in every news and her Ashbook account. He was just so popular because he was handsome, and a part of the Remington family. Nev

AUGUST TURNED his direction on the man who spoke to him. He saw that it was the man he had been longing to see for a long time.Right. It was Bruce Sandoval.“Greetings, Mr. Sandoval,” said August as he bowed a little in front of Bruce. “It’s nice to see you here,” he added, causing Bruce to snort.August was telling him the truth, anyway. Seeing Bruce personally felt like his motivation to seek revenge was recharged. Even though he wanted to see Bruce at his gatherings or whatever, Charles wouldn’t let him because of what happened last time.Even his plan to meet Bruce in a meeting before got ruined because Maxine didn’t allow him to volunteer in the meeting with Bruce, even though he promised to behave.Maxine knew August. He couldn’t control his emotions when it comes to Bruce, and that’s why she let Sapphire handle that specific meeting.In fact, that meeting didn’t end well. Rumors have it that Bruce and Sapphire almost threw the documents at each other because they didn’t like

“WHETHER it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter,” said August as his gaze went onto the audience, specifically looking for Samantha. “It’s all a part of the past now.”August said that as an answer, but he’s mainly pertaining to Samantha. He wanted her to know that she doesn’t have any effect on him now. To be honest, he’s disgusted by how she hides her own sister for the sake of her dreams.Samantha looked away. She couldn’t stand August’s judgmental and cold gaze. Instead, she averted her gaze at Bruce, who was already looking at her with confusion and annoyance at the same time.Both of them were looking like wallflowers in August’s talk show. It shouldn’t look like that!“Ooh, you answer so well!” August got another genuine compliment from Adrianna as she smiled sweetly, and August smiled shyly in response.‘Nice one, August!’ Daphne, who was sitting in the audience, couldn’t help but be proud as she was the one who taught August how to answer difficult questions.Adrianna was amazed
