In the past four months, Harrison had had more than three assistants. None of them had lasted up to two months. They all resigned because they could not cope with Harrison's cold attitude and nagging. "Here is my resignation letter, sir. Please, sign it." The young man said, placing the white paper on the table.Harrison looked at him, letting out a sigh. He took the envelope and brought out the paper. He took a pen and signed on it."Thank you, sir. It was nice working with you," the man said, and took a bow, before leaving.He threw his head back, leaning on the chair, as he shut his eyes, wondering what next to do.How would he start finding another assistant to work for him? Just as he thought about everything that had been going on, the door opened up, revealing his sister.He glanced at her and shut his eyes again.Jasmine looked worried, and she walked towards him. "Harrison, what is happening? I saw your assistant packing his things from the office. Is everything okay?" She
Harrison did not stop trying to talk to Quinn, but every time he came around, Quinn would shut him out.It became routine for him that he visit Quinn after work. "Why are you being stubborn? Do you hate the fact that I'm being too nice to you? I said stay away from my sister, don't you get?" Ivan mouthed, as he came to find Harrison by the door, waiting for Quinn."Please, I just want to speak with her. It won't take more than five minutes," he replied, his voice sounding calmer than usual.Ivan chuckled, "You dare ask for five minutes? It seems like you don't understand that you can't even see her, even for a second.""Try to understand. It was only a misunderstanding that can be sorted out between the two of us. Just let me speak with Quinn," he politely requested.Ivan was adamant about refusing to speak with his sister. He did not want her to have anything to do with Harrison at all."No! You cannot and will never speak with my sister. You had the chance, Harrison. You had more t
Since Harrison always visited her almost every day, she, somehow, always expected to see him. The doorbell rang, and Quinn rushed to the door, thinking it was Harrison. She wanted to hear him out, and it was the perfect opportunity to speak with him since Ivan and Vera were out.So hurriedly opened the door to find Ivan standing with a grocery bag. A tinge of disappointment appeared on her face."What? Is something wrong?" Ivan asked, noticing the expression on her face. She shook her head and wore a smile. She hugged him and took the bag from him."You are acting weird," Ivan admitted."Nothing. Let's just call it a pregnancy symptom," she said, giggling.He glanced at her with his eyebrows lifted."Whatever," he said, "I bought you fruits. It's good for your health.""Aw, you are such a darling!" She blushed, sitting down on the couch, ready to devour them."Hey, hey," he called out, causing her to pause. "You need to wash them, first, young lady."She growled, taking the basket t
It was around 8:45 pm when Quinn heard a knock on the door. She glanced at Ivan, as they gave each other an inquisitive look."I'll go get the door," Ivan said, but she stretched her hand, stopping him."I'm sure it is Harrison. Don't worry about that, I will talk to him myself."Ivan nodded, and went back to his seat, while Quinn arranged her dress and walked towards the door.As she opened up, she confirmed her intuition that it was Harrison. He stood there in front of the door in his tailored suit, and his hands tucked into his pants.His face lit up as he did Quinn because it was always Ivan or Vera getting the door. He never got the chance to see her.Her face remained calm, yet there was a trace of anger visible on her face. She shut the door behind her, and crossed her arms over her chest, as she looked at him."Hi," he said, clearing his throat."What do you want?"He swallowed hard, and looked down, before glancing at her again."Quinn, I came to talk to you.""About what, Ha
Harrison reached his car and sat inside. He hit his hand hard on the wheel, as he shoved his other hand roughly into his hair.He finally drove out of the street and went home. As he got home, he met his family in the sitting room.He glanced at his wristwatch, it was almost midnight."Harrison, what is going on with you?" His father asked.Harrison did not say a word, he walked past them and stopped as he heard his mother's voice."Harrison—""Why did you do that? Why did you meet her without my knowledge?" He finally spoke up."Why should I not meet her? She cheated on you and broke your heart!" She shouted, standing her ground.He turned around, facing them. "You don't know anything about Quinn. She is not who you think she is. Yes, she cheated on me, because I thought she did. I thought she lied to me and cheated on me, and broke my heart, whereas, I was the one who broke her heart. I was the one who hurt her so badly, so you don't have to add to the pain she is already feeling."
"Sir, Yvonne Lee is the only daughter of Chief Lee of Southern Arizona. She is the only child left after her family was involved in an accident that took the life of her brother. From the information I got, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Gerald were best friends since college." Hardy revealed.Harrison nodded, "so, this is why.""I think the two women had an agreement," Hardy added, causing Harrison to look at him in a questionable way."I mean, considering Mrs. Gerald's liking to Yvonne, she might want to join you both together, to strengthen her friendship and become business partners, as Mr. Lee owns one of the leading construction industries in one part of the Asian country." Hardy expressed.Harrison sighed, "It will never happen."For the whole day, Harrison continued working, trying to distract himself from thinking about Quinn."Good day, sir. Here is the report of the sales for last week."It was Yvonne. She was dressed in a black mini gown and transparent pantyhose coupled with white ank
Her eyes flickered, adjusting to the light from the room. She finally opened her eyes and realized that she was in the hospital.She tried to move, but Ivan held her. "Don't move, stay calm."She nodded and laid down back. She shut her eyes, enduring the pain, before opening it again. She turned to Ivan, who looked worried."Is my baby fine?" She asked.Ivan could not answer her. He did not know how to break the news to her. His silence gave her an answer already. She shook her head vehemently."No! Tell me my baby is fine!" She said, letting the tears flow."I'm sorry, Princess. I could not protect you. It was because of me you lost your baby. I'm sorry, princess," he said, holding her hands.She took in a deep breath, "Don't apologize. It is not your fault at all. He caused this, he is at fault!" She muttered, coiling her fingers into a ball."Mr. Rodriguez, please, a moment in my office." The doctor requested."I'll be back, princess." He told her and followed the doctor out.Quin
After Quinn was discharged from the hospital, Ivan and Vera took her home. "How are you feeling? Do you need anything?" Vera asked, but Quinn shook her head."Take me to the room, please," she requested.Vera nodded and helped her to the room. She laid on the bed, turning to the other side, as she curled herself up.Vera wanted to say something, but the words were not coming out of her mouth. She patted her back, and bade her goodnight, before shutting the door."I think you should give her some time," Vera said to Ivan, who tried to go into the room.He held the door knob with a strong grip, and let out a sigh."I hate that she is going through so much pain, and I cannot do anything about it. If anything happens to her, I swear I will never forgive myself. It will be a disappointment that I could not protect my sister," he expressed, leaning his forehead on the wall.Vera touched his shoulder, "we all know that you tried your best. Don't beat yourself too hard, okay?" Tears began t
