Quinn had locked herself up in the room for three days and only came out to take food to the room. She was so mad at Ivan, that she refused to talk to him."Princess, can we talk? Please," he asked, but she ignored him, taking the tray in her hand.She left the kitchen to the room and locked it from the inside.Ivan sighed, walking out of the kitchen. He placed his hands on his waist, looking at the door."I understand how you feel. Just give her some time, I'm sure she will come around," Vera said, trying to assure him."Did I do wrong?" He asked."I get it, you did that out of anger. It's normal to act that way towards someone who hurt your sister." Vera tried to give him hope.He shook his head and went out without a word. Vera sighed, sinking into the sofa. She was tired of all of the drama, and just wanted everything and everyone to be at peace as it used to be.Ivan went to the bar and ordered a bottle of beer. He wanted to clear his mind of everything that had happened in the p
Harrison began to live his life like nothing had ever happened. After confirming from the hospital that Quinn's pregnancy and the time they had sex were different, he made up his mind to forget about her.Having this thought cleared the guilt he was feeling. He continued to run the company, and made Hardy his assistant, while Yvonne remained the Head of Sales."Sir, you have a meeting at the Triste Hotels by 2 pm," Hardy informed him.He nodded and passed him a file. "Go through it, and do whatever you need to do."Hardy was going to tease him, but he remembered the severe warning that Harrison gave to him. Mentioning Quinn's name was forbidden, and Harrison had asked Hardy never to mention it again.Hardy swallowed it in and stepped out. After a while, Kimberly walked in. "This is the document you asked for, sir," she said, placing the paper on the table."How is it going with the marketing team? What are you planning to do concerning the new product that will be launched soon?" Ha
"Mom, let me accompany you to the spa," Jasmine said, coming down the stairs.Mrs. Gerald picked up her bag and turned to Jasmine. She was about to respond when Yvonne walked in and interrupted her."Oh, you don't have to worry about that, Jasmine. I'm sure you have a lot of work to do, so I will just accompany Mom to the spa." She smiled, walking up to Mrs. Samantha."Aw, you are such a darling," Mrs. Samantha commented.Jasmine glared at Yvonne and then looked at her mother. "Mom, you can go ahead, I need to speak with Yvonne.""Alright, I'm sure you two will get along," she said and walked out, accompanied by some men.Jasmine walked down the stairs, stopping right in front of Yvonne. She pocketed her hands into her trousers."I really do not know what my mother sees in you to even let you accompany her to the spa, but I want to make this clear to you. No matter what you do, you cannot win my heart, nor can you make Harrison like you. Whatever despicable means you have used to make
"How dare you slap me?" Yvonne said, launching at Rowena.She raised her hand to slap her, and just before she could do that, Harrison walked in with Jasmine."Enough!" He yelled, causing everyone in the room to freeze in fear at the sound of his voice.He walked closer to them and glared at Yvonne, who hurriedly hid at the back of Mrs. SamanthaSeeing that Harrison was about to scold Yvonne, she intervened immediately."Thank goodness you are here, son. This bitch came in here to harass us!" She complained, pointing at Rowena.His gaze did not leave Yvonne, causing her to shiver in fear."That is not what I saw. Yvonne was acting Rowena." He stated, causing his mother to gasp."Are you supporting her now? Why would Yvonne attack her? She," she said, pointing at Rowena again, "attacked me first, and Yvonne was only trying to defend me. Why don't you believe me?""I only believe what I see, and that, I saw something different from your story. Even at that, should you not be mature enou
"Sir, you have another meeting at Crown Star, by 1 pm," Hardy announced, holding some documents in his hand.Harrison nodded without looking away from the screen of the computer. Seeing that Hardy was still standing there, he lifted his head and arched his brow."Uh, sir. I won't be available," he said, causing Harrison's brow to knit together."Why is that?" He questioned.Hardy scratched the back of his head, and said, "Mrs. Gerald sent me on an errand. She said I should tell you to go with Miss Lee."Harrison scoffed, shaking his head. His mother never ceased to amaze him. Her plan was just to get Yvonne and Harrison closer to each other."Alright, you can go." Harrison said, and added, "Tell Miss Clark to meet me in my office now."Hardy bowed and walked out of the office. Soon, Kimber was at his office, wondering what she had done this time."Good day, sir.""Are you free by 1 pm? I need you to accompany me to a meeting," he spoke, casually.Kimberly's eyes widened, her jaw-dropp
It was her first day at work, and she needed to look like the real secretary to the CEO of Ingot Inc.She stood in front of the mirror, looking at her Monday outfit. She had packed her long hair up into a ponytail, and she had worn a red pair of palazzo pants and a black off-shoulder long-sleeved top, tucking it into her pants.To complete her outfit, she wore black stiletto heels, clutching in her hand, a black handbag. She took out her jewelry box, bringing out a gold necklace with her name on it.She wore red lipstick, using the gel to style the edges of her hair. Somehow, she wanted to dress sophisticated, showing that she was the new boss around.Her outfit exuded an aura of a powerful woman. She let out a sigh and smiled. She walked out of her apartment, and locked it.She had already booked a ride, so at the exact time, the chofer drove to the front of her apartment, and she stepped in."Good morning," she greeted."Buenos dias, senora," he said in Spanish.He didn't seem to re
They both stared at each other in shock, as though they just saw a ghost."Quinn, is that you?" She asked to confirm, hoping that her eyes were not deceiving her."Eva, it's you!" She squealed, throwing her arms around her neck. She squeezed her into a hug, as though if she let her go, she would disappear again."Where the hell have you been?" Quinn asked, releasing her from the embrace.Eva smiled, "well, I've been around.""Jeez, we have a whole lot to talk about. Go in and submit the files, and let's talk at lunch," she said, and Eva nodded, entering the CEO's office."What was the commotion just outside my office now?" The CEO asked, taking the files from her."Oh, I'm sorry about that, sir. I bumped into Quinn, and the files fell off my hands. It's nothing serious," she responded, taking a bow before leaving.Soon, it was lunchtime, and Quinn did not waste any more second to zoom off to the third floor, where the cafeteria was.As she got there, she placed her order; sandwich an
"You needed to see how they treated me like some kind of big and influential celebrity!" Quinn squealed, as she spoke with Vera."I'm so happy for you, Quinn. You are so strong, even after everything that happened, you still pulled through like nothing ever happened. If it were me, I'd commit suicide," Vera responded, admiring Quinn's resilience."Stop flattering me, Vera. I cannot give up on life, yet. My parents did, but I won't. Whatever the challenges may be, I will face it, and walk through it victoriously," she ascertained.Before Vera could reply, Kim walked inside."Oh, Quinn. Kimberly is here," she said, turning to Kim, "come speak with Quinn."Kimberly rushed to sit beside Vera. Her facial expression changed, as she saw Quinn."Quinn!" She screamed, causing Vera to shut her ears."Hi, Berley! I miss you so much," Quinn voiced out, grinning."I miss you more, bestie! When will you come back?" She asked, but Quinn's smile began to fade."I don't think I'll return to Florida an
