Bang!The car behind already caught up with them and took the opportunity to hit their car. Jed gritted his teeth and quickly got out of the way.He could already imagine how the scratch on the brand new SUV would be."You..." He gave Liana a glance before turning to the road. She was looking all innocent like she didn't almost get them caught."Can you refrain from saying those things?"Liana pouted. "It's not my fault you got distracted. I'm tired of this chase. Why don't you just stop the car and face him?" Whish!Jed swerved the car again just in time to avoid another hit. He would have stopped this car if it weren't because of her.They came for him and he doesn't want to take a risk. "It'll be over soon," He promised and fixed a determined gaze on the road as he operated the gear.Before the car behind knew what was going on, the SUV had already picked pace, swiftly maneuvering from them. They soon lost track of it and stopped their car.Unlike what Liana had thought, it wasn't
He had only meant to tease her as payback. He didn't expect Liana would withdraw her hand and blush so brightly that her face turned scarlet red."You... Don't say such things out loud," She looked around discreetly and Jed laughed when he saw this."And keep your weird thoughts to yourself. I'm not having a baby out of wedlock and I definitely don't want to have a baby now."After this, she refused to look up at him. Although their relationship had progressed quickly, they hadn't gone beyond kisses, smooches and making out.Now he was talking about having a baby. Does he finally want them to take the next step?Liana shook her head, suddenly feeling flustered. This rascal! How dare he put these crazy thoughts in her head? She doubted she was going to have any sleep that night.Jed bit into the braised pork in front of him to hide his smile. He heard all her thoughts and honestly, he was starting to think of a mischief.****The next day, Eric was trying to sneak out of the house befo
Jake was confused. But he didn't ask any questions. He walked out just in time to hear the bodyguard losing it in front of a redhead."You! Who do you think you are? How dare you slander our young master and this hospital like this? I'll have the security throw you out immediately as I'm scared I'll break your bones with how angry I am!""Which sort of physician has his own bodyguard? Is he some kind of big shot?" Scarlett snorted, holding Eva tighter in her arms. Her little girl was frightened by this scary bodyguard and kept holding on tightly to her sleeves. If it wasn't because of Liana's recommendation, she wouldn't be here.She thought she had finally found a physician that could cure her daughter. She didn't expect him to be so arrogant and even his bodyguard more unruly!"Stop!" Jake stopped the bodyguard just as he wanted to grab Scarlett. Naturally, he was displeased at the way she insulted his dignity but he had received an order he couldn't defy."Young master, she—" the
Jed's gaze darkened. A hand reached down to hold the towel which hung loosely around his waist and was going to fall because of the way he tensed up."What? How did that happen?"The proposal was to be presented by the end of the week for the billion dollar project bid his company just acquired much to the chagrin of other companies.After working tirelessly for days, he and his team had just completed the final conclusion of the proposal and now this had to happen!"Boss, it seems like our system was hacked overnight and now the entire proposal is gone," Irwin was also jittery.Only he and some few others know how important this project is to Jed. If they win the project, his company could finally stand at the top of the leaderboard. Something Jed has been chasing after for these past few years. "Who was in charge of handling the proposal?" Jed's brows knitted in annoyance."The administrative department sir. We are yet to discover what happened but our IT department is already work
"Ben, how was the lady? Did you like her? You see, I told you once you meet her, you'll like her. Tell mom quickly, how did the date go?"Ben was irked by being bugged by his mother while having lunch. But he didn't respond just like etiquette demands and waited till he had finished eating.After wiping his mouth clean elegantly, he turned to his mother. "Thank you for the meal."But she wasn't concerned about that. "Tell me quickly. How did your date with Lily go? I've met her several times and I can tell that girl is incredibly humble and considerate. She's the perfect match for you."Ben could feel his grandfather staring at him intently. The two elderly ones were eagerly waiting for his response.He thought back to the date night. That girl he met wasn't humble or considerate at all! He doesn't know how his mother arrived at that conclusion.A small frown appeared on his face startling his mother and grandfather. He could remember the date didn't go well after Estelle left. It was
Eva noticed the confusion on her face and smartly wrote down another string of words on her notepad.[The man by the window]"Oh, that kind uncle," Scarlett recalled in regret that she didn't quite see the face of the man. She shrugged away the regretful thoughts and bent to carry Eva."Well, mama thinks baby has the most beautiful eyes she has ever seen," She placed a kiss on Eva's face and the little girl lit up with a glowing smile.Her blue eyes twinkled like the stars and Scarlett was once again taken aback at how similar they were to that person.Before she could dwell on those thoughts, she walked to the kitchen. "When next we meet that kind uncle, remember to say thank you. Now you have to eat. Tomorrow uncle Ray is going to babysit you while I'm at work."Eva's smile widened and she quickly wrote down some words.[Eva loves uncle Ray very much]"Of course, he's my younger brother and is as kind as me. We are family so we should love each other," Scarlett told her as she set h
"How did this happen?" Jed gritted as he read a particular headline that said,'The Billion-Dollar Deal Different Prospective Companies Have Been Vying For Has Reportedly Fallen Into The Meta's Hands But The Opportunity Was Misused.'Jed's lips twitched with anger. What abuse? Who the fuck hired the media to write all these rubbish?"Boss, it's only the IT department and the administrative department that was aware of it. I don't know how the news got out."Jed stroked his aching temple. The administrative department? He suddenly thought he had given orders earlier for some of them who were in charge of handling the former proposal to be suspended.So the mole must have come from there. Jed gritted his teeth in anger. "Call the GK management board immediately. I'll give them an explanation. Besides, it isn't the proposal submission deadline yet. We've still got time.""Alright sir.""Also, get someone to investigate who leaked out the news among the administrative employees. When foun
"Good afternoon," Doctor Jake stood up to shake hands with the charming young man that brought Eva to his office.Unlike Scarlett, he didn't have red hair. His hair was black which complemented his slightly tanned skin but when he smiled, one could see the resemblance in the siblings.Jake crouched to greet Eva who was hiding behind Ray and peeking out cautiously."How are you doing today, Eva?"While this was going on, Eric was staring at them through the window with a frown.He scrutinized Ray and thought, 'Is this the man she settled for? What happened to Jayden? This man however looks too young. I thought she didn't like younger guys.'He felt uneasy at the fact that Scarlett had rejected him back then because she felt he was just like her younger brother but she hopped onto another younger man.Eric never thought, the young man he was currently jealous of was actually that little boy that used to sit on the wheelchair.He had grown and looked more mature than his age."If you don
