To their surprise the following morning, they met Cash at the office, carrying out his daily duties."Look who we found here" Vivian whispered as they both walked closer to him."My boy is finally a grown man. I mean, you even have the guts to leave my party and spend the night elsewhere without my permission? How brave!" Dame remarked sarcastically"Hello Kristine, Hello Vivian" he greeted, ignoring them."How could you leave my party when you were most needed?""Oh..... didn't know I was so important that my absence could be felt"Dame scoffed in anger. "You're doing this intentionally, no?""Looks like Cash is beginning to feel like a man after our divorce""We are not divorced" Cash objected."You will have to explain yourself when we get home" Kristine warned."Wow! Your jewelry looks beautiful on you. Did you receive it as a gift last night?"Kristine blushed."That's th
He smiled softly, returned the phone to his pocket, and walked away. Walking away, he could feel the heat of a bomb that was going to explode. The Kentons will be shaken, my feet will crumble, they will cry in blood but he was not backing out until they crawl to him with wobbling feet, sweaty faces, blood dripping from their bodies, and a humble heart.*****As soon as Katrine's Personal Assistant whispered into her ears, her wide and grinning cheeks fell, her heart began to race faster and her pride broke into pieces. Luckily, all of these could not be seen by anyone. Immediately, she grabbed Vivian's hand and scurried to her office."Mother, what are you doing, wait!" Vivian screamed out, surprised at her mother's sudden reaction. Kristine shut the door tightly and ensured no one was watching or close to their reach."We are doomed!" She broke out Panting softly, Vivian took her thoughts away from the fact that her mother was tryi
"What is worst? What are you talking about, Vivian?" Kristine asked with a glare. "You should refresh up, I'll meet you in your room, soon" Vivian suggested."Don't do that to me, now. I'm not a child" she warned."I'll break the news to you in your room. It's highly confidential"Kristine felt relaxed at Vivian's proposition. If her daughter sounded that way then it must be secretive. "Was it unsealed? Did it look like it was unsealed and later sealed?""Nope, it's a direct stamp""Let's go" she whispered.Walking upstairs, Vivian hoped she didn't raise any hope for Kristine."What does the letter say?" Kristine quizzed, shutting the door.Vivian went silent. "Vivian, say something!" She commanded."It says we're in huge debt and our mansion might be taken away from us if we do not settle the debts on time" she responded sharply."Wh....what?" Kristine whispered. "Give it to me" she commanded, snatching the paper from Vivian's hands. "Jason Yates, again?!!""Who the hell is this?""
Kristine and Vivian turned to him in shock. The rest of the family members turned to face him with so much curiosity and anticipation."Get lost, Cash!" Kristine ordered, rising to her feet."Why, Mother? He's trying to say something. You should let him speak" Steve objected."Listen to Mother, leave!" Vivian commanded.Cash chuckled softly. He didn't realize Kristine and Vivian were shaken by his actions until now."He must speak! If something is wrong and he is ready to share, I give him the liberty to do that!" Steve ordered."What gives you the right?" Kristine asked, turning to him."I am the first son to Steve Kenton, the heir to Kentons Company" he bragged.Kristine scoffed and returned to her seat. "As if!" She muttered under her breath. "You have no idea how useless that name is" she continued to murmur."Tell us what we need to know" Steve ordered, taking his seat as well.Cash turned to Vivian to watch her expression, although she glared at him, her eyes felt different, like
"Cash!" Lily whispered in an aggressive and low tone. "Come over here!"He shrugged a little and walked up to her."What are you doing here?" She whispered."What? I'm enjoying the expressions of the board members""Kristine and Vivian will skin you alive if you're caught. You divorced Vivian already, you should be on your toes and be careful not to upset Kristine"Cash smiled as he stared at her."Why are you smiling? You have a grumpy boss, remember? She will cut off your ears if she finds you standing there doing nothing. Come on, Cash! You can't afford to lose your job now""I didn't make any sound. No one knew I was standing there""I heard some rumors that the company might be in crisis soon but we cannot tell, I guess that is why they are gathered today. It is wrong to eavesdrop on the company's private matters. Let's go have lunch, it's lunchtime. Don't worry, I will sort your lunch out" she advised, pla
"That's impossible" she muttered to herself, turning on her laptop hurriedly.Kristine's cheeks blushed red as she anticipated the mail herself. "What? Is it true?"Still in shock, Vivian unconsciously sank into her chair."It's happening, girl! You deserve this" Kristine continued to exclaim, tapping her."Mother, stop!" Vivian warned aggressively."What? This is a breakthrough!""Why will Jason Yates suddenly appoint me as a director after snatching my father's company?"Kristine frowned. "It was never Steve's company, you stated it yourself. Come on, Vivian! Why are you not seeing this differently? Jason Yates is attracted to you, what else do you want to prove it? A few minutes ago, you were doubting my facts until he sent the email. What else do you want? Look, I know this may be hard to accept because you barely know him....""Mother, I don't barely know him. I don't know him!" She cut in."Yeah,
Kristine moved closer to her and snatched the paper away from Vivian. "How's that possible?""What if you were right about your predictions, Mother? Jason Yates is attracted to me!" She exclaimed happily."Come on, I'm always right. I'm your mother" Kristine bragged, head bent and her eyes moving from right to left as she read the letter. "This is happening, Vivian" she muttered."Yes, yes, Mother!!""Do you think he's trying to compensate us or appreciate us for managing the company on his behalf?""What if this is a surprise gift from Chairman Malcolm to our family? What if he requests a wedding between Jason and me because he feels sorry for his poor friend who managed his company on his behalf and died as a pauper? Mother, we are blessed!" She exclaimed with a flushed cheeks."So you're gonna be Mrs Yates? What a glorious name! The world will bow at your presence and young ladies will hate on you and try to be in yo
"Congratulations, Vivian" Justin expressed, walking into her office with a bright smile."I should excuse you both" Kristine stated with a bright smile, walking away."Congratulations my dearest" he repeated, this time in a more seductive tone, dropping the bouquet on her table and moving closer to her. Vivian stood, leaning on her table. She moved her face a little away from him as he brought his face closer to her."Did I offend you?" He whispered, running his fingers from her neck to her hair.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "This is my office area and it's inappropriate" she whispered."Oh, my bad. Did you not miss me?""Are you free today?""Always free for you, milady""How can you be free when you work in a company? As for me, I have lots of work to do""So? Say the word"She let out a sigh and turned to her chair."You're asking me to leave your office, Vi
