Linda was sitting beside Richard as she watched Henry snub the young petite lady who was sitting beside him all through the party and trying to get his attention. For some reasons, she felt herself heave a deep sigh of relief when she noticed that Henry paid no attention to the girl. She probably still had a chance with him.She wished she could walk up to him and actually apologize for all the embarrassment she had caused him in the past and equally beg him to take her back. But she knew it was almost impossible because Richard kept hovering around her and she absolutely hated it. She was in Richard's arms when she noticed Henry whispering to Asher, she believed that he was about to go back home.He cast her one last glance after he exchanged a handshake with Asher before he walked out of the hall."Are you ready to go?" Richard asked her after every one who attended the party began to discard one after the other. He had a glass of wine in his hand.Richard had noticed her earlier gl

Linda pulled herself together and employed all the expertise and smartness her parents had instilled in her. As the heir of the Guild family's business, her parents had taken time to groom her and made sure she was a very strategic and intelligent business woman. She was not just beautiful, but she was equally very smart too and that was why she was made the CEO of the Guild family's company, to become the chairperson in the future.She exerted all her smartness and expertise in presenting her working plan which made Henry impressed and if not that he was still mad at her, he would have smiled brightly. But he pretended not to notice her and focused on the iPad in front of him instead.Even though he refused to look up and show how much he liked her presentation, he was deeply impressed by her. Henry had always known Linda as an intelligent woman, he had always admired the way she led her company with so much bravery and intelligence, that was one of the reasons he had fallen in love

The Bay family's mansion Jerry sat in his office, going through a few files when he received a text. He took his eyes to the phone immediately after it beeped. His heart sank when he saw the name that was displayed on the screen and saw that it was Fred. He had completely forgotten about Fred or not. He picked up the phone and unlocked it, using his fingerprint. He sighed deeply and blinked twice before reading the words on the screen. "I'd be back before Natasha's birthday. I hope that she knows about us already."Jerry's heart sank deeper into his stomach. He opened his mouth widely and left it open. His hands began to shake until he dropped his phone, and it landed on one of the open books on his table. He looked towards the door, and for a second, he thought he saw the door open, but it didn't. He wiped his face with both hands. Jerry stood up from the chair and walked away from the table. He was already close to the door when he remembered his phone, so he walked back to th

Jerry was surprised that Madame Gu sent a text asking if he had seen her invitation. Although he hadn't received it yet, he knew it would come eventually. Madame Gu had never sent him a text to let him know about any invitation. He now got a special treatment from the almighty Madame Gu, and it made him smile. Just as Cassandra was about to ask what he saw that made him smile, a knock came at the door. "I will get the door," she said instead and was about to stand up when one of the maids walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the door. She opened the door and talked in whispers for a few seconds, while the couple observed her. Cassandra was clueless about who was outside, but Jerry knew it was the messenger from Madame Gu. After a while, the maid returned with the invitation and handed it over to Jerry. He pushed it over to his wife, and she quickly opened the invitation letter. "It's inviting us together with Natasha to Madame Gu's ball," Cassandra said with a smile. Th

"What the fuck is this?" Jerry asked and threw the letter to the floor. "This must be some kind of a joke," his wife told him. He stood up from the bed and began to pace the room with his finger in his mouth. He could not believe what he had just seen. "How?" Cassandra asked. There was silence for a while as the two tried to process what they had just seen. Everything was happening too fast. "Whoever is fast forwarding things really needs to slow down," she said. "I mean, just yesterday we received Fred's text that he wanted to come back, now this?"Jerry suddenly stopped pacing and faced his wife. "We need to convince Madame Gu that the wedding should be held as soon as possible. If she could make Henry propose to Natasha during the ball."Cassandra did not say anything in response to what her husband had said. She wasn't sure about how to react to it. What excuse would they give Madame Gu that was making them rush the wedding. "We can't let Fred come back here and ruin everyt
