Linnie thought that she might have heard wrongly, but of course, Darwin would never make jokes about something as crucial as this.And Luther had a smug look on his face.“But I thought I was doing well,” Linnie said desperately.She had fought so hard to get a position in the company, and now, she was just going to be asked to stop even when she hadn’t worked for up to one month? Linnie felt humiliated.“Your services are no longer required in the company,” Darwin said tightly, his voice harsh, but then again, she was used to it by now.Right from the first day she got acquainted to Darwin when she was still with Laxus, Darwin had never played nice with her.“I don’t understand,” Linnie said, trying to keep the tears from coming to her eyes, because she knew that if they came, she would definitely shed them, and Linnie would hate to give Darwin or even Luther the impression that they were hurting her this deeply.“What don’t you understand, Linnie?” Luther asked impatiently. “Dad alr

Laxus was the first to wake up and he discovered that he and Nessy were wrapped up in each other’s arms, and the scent of her hair wafted into his nostrils.The night before had been bliss, and they had both been caught up in the euphoria of it.They had had sex, drunk wine, eaten, and continued until late in the night when they had both fallen asleep in each other’s arms. It was dawn now, and Laxus did not feel like untangling himself. When he had suggested they got married, Laxus hadn’t envisioned sex as part of the bargain, and maybe that was why neither of them spoke about it. Granted, Laxus had been somewhat attracted to Nessy, especially recently, and that would most likely explain the awkwardness between the two of them, but never had he thought that they would jump into bed with each other as soon as they were alone in the same space.To be honest, Laxus had spent the other night at Bowman’s because he did not know exactly what to do with a wife or what to say to Nessy. This w

Luther waited at the private hospital lobby with a bouquet of flowers for Abby Golden. He knew that since Abby collapsed at Laxus’s hamburger store opening, she had been resting and recovering at their family’s hospital. Luther was heartbroken that she had fainted on account of Laxus being married to someone else, but then again, he was willing to overlook that. In fact, to Luther, he saw this as an opportunity to win Abby’s love over.She would realize that he would always been with her all the time, contrary to Laxus.Luther quickly drew the attention of a nurse when she passed by where he was sitting, being that he had been sitting there for almost three hours now.“Excuse me, but is Abby Golden still not ready to see anyone?” Luther asked worriedly. He was beginning to worry that he was being deliberately kept waiting for so long. It wasn’t that Abby was in a critical condition. She had merely collapsed, so he could not understand why it was taking this long to see her.“I don’t

Linnie entered Darwin’s office and looked around, wondering where she would start looking from. She could be wrong about Darwin hiding the box in his office, but judging from the way he had been acting secretive lately with Linnie, around, her instincts just kept saying that he had something to hide.Whatever the case may be, Linnie knew that she needed to hurry up before Darwin’s secretary would return from the fruitless errand that she sent her to the first floor.“I don’t even have up to five minutes, and I have to ransack and rearrange to avoid suspicions before gets back,” Linnie told herself.Then she got to work immediately.She didn’t go searching in the desk drawers, because Linnie was not foolish enough to think that Darwin would stuff a box into a desk drawer and just leave it lying around. Somewhere, in his office, he would have hidden it from prying eyes like hers.“Damn, such a full office,” Linnie muttered to herself when she started.Being that she had only been in Dar

“Mr. Laxus and his beautiful wife, Mrs. Nessy, you are most welcome.”Laxus and Nessy were welcomed to the Zayomi company as soon as they arrived. A fancy and luxurious car had been sent to the hotel to pick them up and given royalty treatment. They were both dressed in matching outfits, and Laxus liked the fact that there were no paparazzi and bloggers crowding the company, clamoring for pictures and videos.That was the sign that Zayomi company was not like any regular company.“Thank you,” Laxus and Nessy said at the same time as though they had planned it.Then they were ushered into the executive chambers to sign the deal and get the contract running. “Ah, Laxus, the man of the season,” the Zayomi man, who waited for Laxus just outside the executive chambers said with a broad smile on his face.“Thank you so much for this opportunity,” Laxus said and meant it.“Is this the woman you married in a hurry?” He asked.Instantly, Laxus and Nessy became uncomfortable. It was even worse
