After the party, Jason and Faith returned to his hotel room, and she didn't waste time regretting her plan and the bet. She bit on her fingers, and blinked rapidly, “What am I going to do? What kind of deal have I made? No one has contact with these people. I'm in trouble, Grandma is going to alienate me finally! My dignity will be finally ruined” She mused loudly, almost sobbing this time, tears lodged painfully in her throat. Jason's heart wrenched at the sight; he wanted to discard his clothes and don the socially appropriate ones to show Faith that he was indeed capable of helping her and solving all her problems, but he had chosen to help her from the sideline and give her all his support. She needed it if she was going to stand against her grandmother and whatever she could possibly throw her way. He could see that Raphael was right about Faith, and he was going to do all he could to protect and be there for her. He walked to her and lifted her chin, looking straight into h

Faith swallowed hard with her eyes blinking, her mind riddling with different thoughts,‘Had Michael called her?’, ‘Why was she calling?’ ‘Didn't she know she was currently in the meeting’. Faith was extremely pale and she gulped at intervals, Ethan caught sight of her expression and raised his brow at her, Faith subtly shook her head, and whispered,“Please excuse me, I have to take this call"She immediately stood up to pick up the call, moved to a corner of the office, and was immediately greeted by her grandmother’s loud voice when she clicked the green button,“What the hell do you think you're doing, you insolent child?! How dare you double-cross Michael?”Mrs Rita didn't let Faith get any word in as she kept condescendingly berating her, Faith's eyes were brimming with tears. Meanwhile, Ethan could hear the harshness of her voice as it was a little loud, his brows furrowed, and he thought it was a good thing to inform Jason of the situation. He quietly tapped away on his phone

In return, Michael jutted his chin towards her, "Ha! You ruined the opportunity right?! You flopped just as my grandmother and I predicted! You really are inept and useless Faith. You had just one golden opportunity, and you let it slide through your fingers” as he spoke while sneering at her, he pulled himself to his full height and puffed his chest out, “If only that man had let me in, or you had spoken in my favor, I would have been able to seal that deal just as grandmother wanted, but you probably thought seduction could help you, yet it didn't help him sway to your side. Ha!” Faith's expression was a mix of disgust and embarrassment and even anger; her eyes were red, and her face was pale. How could Michael accuse her wrongly and blatantly accuse her of possibly using her body, she fumed. Jason stared at his fiancée's cousin and shook his head; his fist was clenched beside him, but he was going to floor the idiot; people like him didn't like when their perceived positions w

Ethan gazed intensely at Michael and quirked his brows at him, “What do you have to say for yourself, Sir?" he asked Michael with an edge to his voice, and the latter gulped once again. He was currently unable to string words together, luckily for him, Ethan wasn't done speaking, "Well, it's quite obvious you have nothing to say for yourself. If this is how you behave in your company, we do not condone such attitude here at Greenlife and it makes me wonder what the hell you all are doing in that company, and how someone like Ms Faith is surviving there as well” Michael's eyes nearly bulged at Ethan's use of Faith's first name, he couldn't understand what had transpired between the duo. Still, he nodded numbly and responded, “I apologize Sir. It won't happen again, I was only trying to help, but I thought wrong” "You're damn well right! It sure won't happen again!” Ethan interjected loudly through gritted teeth, before he rose himself to his full height, raising his chin he looked

"You know, sometimes I wonder why you all have such little faith in Faith. Why you would choose to believe the words of a scum over that of a classy human” Jason promptly interjected. He was disgusted and disappointed by their words and reactions, they had all but concluded that Faith was incapable, concluding that she hadn't gotten the contract. At his interruption, everyone glowered at him, while Mrs Ruth glared and snarled at him, "I wasn't talking to you, you pauper! Don't you dare interrupt me ever in your life!” In response, Jason shrugged and smiled at her, before he continued, "My apologies. I just thought it fair that you know you're making the wrong mistake by dismissing Faith, seeing as she kept to the deal, and secured a contract from Greenlife Group." All eyes immediately snapped in Faith's direction, then back at Jason, who was smiling smugly; Faith had managed to lift her head, a little smile gracing her face while her cheeks were still tinged; she had yet to
