Isabella laughed along with Donovan after hearing what Eduard said.“Are you out of your mind?” Donovan continued while he shook his head. He was entertained by Eduard’s words. “I do not know what came up in your mind and challenge me. I wonder who is backing you up to speak up on me with so much courage. Do you know who I am?” He added arrogantly.“Come on, honey. There’s no sense talking to this man,” Isabella spoke.“Yes, but I am wondering where he got his car. How can you get that kind of car in such a short period of time? No one in the right state of mind will let you borrow a limited edition sports car like what he used. I wonder if he borrowed it or …” Donovan paused as he looked at Eduard directly.“Or what?” Isabella’s eyebrows knitted together.“Or he has stolen it,” Donovan finished his words.Abby was about to speak but Eduard held her hand and stopped her with just his eyes.For Eduard, there was no need to say anything. Let the next thing that would happen shock his ex

“Not enough? Tell me, what do you want?” Ana continued and then she took a checkbook out from her bag. “Name your price.”Eduard was shocked. He didn’t expect that Ana would be doing that to him.“Eduard, you have to leave. You are just an illegitimate child. You do not have any right to whatever my husband owns!”His fist rolled when he heard those words.“Auntie, please leave. I am tired and I still have work to do,” he said and then he turned around to go upstairs.“How disrespectful can you get? After I raised you and made you eat in my palm, this is what I am going to get from you? How are you going to treat me?”“Auntie, I cannot really understand what you wanted to happen but I do not want us to fight over the company. Like what I have said from the very start. You should have come to my father instead of me.” He continued in a firm tone.He had already had enough insulting words for the day and to have an argument with the old woman was the least that he wanted to do that nigh

“Ryan? Are you still there?”“Oh,” Ryan mumbled. “Yes, sir. Someone is waiting inside your office.”Eduard couldn’t help but wonder with Ryan’s gesture. Probably, it was Auntie Ana again.He took a deep breath as he continued his way to the lift.It didn’t take long and he reached the floor where his office was.It was the room that his father designated for him while he was assessing his skills.The next day after they met, his father had his staff prepare his office for him. He could say that it was one of the best days of his life. He never imagined that he would be given a chance to work in his father’s company.He was still young and his Auntie Ana always reminded him that he had no place in the company. He was lucky enough that his father recognized him and he should be thankful for that.“Good morning, sir,” Ryan greeted him as soon as he opened the door.“Good morning. Who’s there?”“It’s Sir Eddie,” Ryan answered and the fear in his voice couldn’t be hidden.“What does he nee

“Oh,” Eduard mumbled. Ryan was right. He was not yet introduced to the board and to the company.“Do you want me to raise this to the chairman so he can hold a meeting and introduce you? I think that will help you a lot,” Ryan suggested.“I am not really sure. I don’t know if my father will want me to do that.”“Sir, since you will be in the business world, you should be aggressive. I do not think there’s anything wrong with being introduced to the company. Aren’t you confident that you are going to pass his judgment?”Eduard was taken aback by Ryan’s world. He was right. What was he afraid of?He knew to himself that he was going to do his best in order to get the position. He was not after the money of his father but he wanted to protect the legacy.“You are right. I guess, let me talk to him and I will tell him that I cannot get the things that I need in order to learn the business because people are holding off on the information from me,” Eduard said.“Alright, sir. I will leave

"Take a look at this resume," Eduard said when Ryan came near him. He handed the piece of paper to his assistant."Isn't she already working here?"Ryan's eyebrows knitted together as he looked at the photo intently. He was trying to recall the woman's face. It didn't take long and he nodded his head."You're right, sir.""I think she's the receptionist. Why is her resume still here?""I am not sure but that can be a mistake. Let me ask the Human resource department.""Please," Eduard said and he put Abby's resume at the top of his table.Ryan made a phone call and Eduard was just listening to his assistant as he was speaking to the Human Resource department.If it was really a mistake, he could see that he had to review the other department's process as well. It was a small mistake but impacting.What if they contacted a person who was already an employee? Wasn't that embarrassing? Their system would really be questioned if that happened.He let out a deep sigh. His father worked hard
