Erica's grandmother checked the news and found it to be true. In the article, it was written that the Bluebell Holding company had made a statement that their company had cooperated with the Starry White company with a large project that had been offered for 10 million dollars. That is a very large amount. Even more than what they had asked for at the beginning of the cooperation offered to their company.

Mr. Robert, Erica's Uncle,and everyone there immediately checked the news on the internet on their respective cell phones to confirm whether what Erica's grandmother's secretary said was true or not. It could be seen from the looks on their faces that they were currently surprised by the news they were reading. Everyone seemed to be throwing glances at each other.

Their positions could be jeopardized if Grandmother sided with Erica.

"Grandma...."

"When did this news appear?" asked Erica's grandmother, ignoring Nancy's call.

"A while ago. It seems that they stated after they came to

    "How is it, Erica? Will you accept the position as CEO of the company?" asked Erica's grandmother. Although she had fulfilled her promise to give her the CEO position, she still had to make sure that Erica was willing to accept the position and was not burdened. So that she could do her job well."Of course Erica is willing. Why ask again?" Maria replied to Erica's grandmother's words quickly. She looked nervous when she saw Erica, who was just silent without answering. She was afraid that Erica would reject her and cause them to be humiliated by the families again."I'm not asking you. I'm asking your daughter! Erica, what do you think?" he asked again while looking at Erica. "If you refuse, even though I've made my promise, of course, I can't force you to become CEO if you don't want to."Maria immediately grabbed Erica's arm and whispered in her ear. "Don't tell me if you don't want this position. This is a good opportunity for you to stop them looking down on us, Erica.""Mom, cal

    "Swetiee, you've done well," Maria said, as they arrived at Erica's room after the exhausting meeting with the rest of the family. She felt very tired, but also happy that Erica had succeeded in making their position higher in the family. Thus, those annoying people would never look down on her again.Maria gently stroked Erica's hair, playing with her hair. Sitting on the sofa with her beloved child."I'm really proud of you, Erica. This way, they won't dare to make trouble with us, let alone underestimate us. I'm sick of seeing their haughty and arrogant behavior in front of us," Maria grumbled with a bent face.She could not forgive her family's attitude. Especially Nancy. Her attitude had gone too far and often angered her with her harsh words. Moreover, she always called Erica names in front of her."Yes, Mom. I'm very happy too. I still can't believe that Bluebell's president liked my proposal and made such a big offer," Erica replied with a happy smile.Maria pinched Erica's c

    "Why are you just keeping quiet? Isn't it easy for you to ask your best friend to come to the party? Surely you must go out together a lot." Nate continued to urge Anthony to ask President Bluebell to come to the party. To show everyone that what he had been bragging about was a lie. Nothing he said was true.Since when did I become friends with someone like him? Nate thought.He wouldn't even want to be friends with someone who likes to lie and take advantage. Moreover, he had forced his wife to marry him, while he knew that Erica was married and had a husband."I guess, it's pretty hard. We have been very busy lately. We have a lot of work to do. Deadlines. So, maybe next time I can ask him to come to the party. Besides, if I asked him, it would be rude because I would be interrupting his work," Anthony said, trying to be evasive. He tried to remain calm even though he was very worried about his lie being exposed.It could be dangerous if everyone knew. Moreover, he had to invite B

    Nate stared at Erica's departure with a sad look in his eyes, leaving all his family looking very angry. Especially Erica's grandmother who felt she was not appreciated there at all."You'd better call your favorite child back here or you'll be in big trouble!" Grandma Erica shouted in a high tone. She was furious with Maria. She thumped her cane so hard that it startled everyone who was there."A-Alright, Mom." Maria widened her eyes. With a pale face and trembling hands, she immediately got up from her seat and went to chase after Erica who had left the living room.This was the first time they had seen Grandma so angry like that and it scared everyone. But not the three of them, Nancy, Robert, and Anthony. They actually looked so happy when they saw Erica's grandmother angry with her. Seeing Grandma angry and hating Erica was the thing Nancy and Robert looked forward to the most because their position in this house would always be the highest. And Erica's rude attitude towards Anth

    On the way home, Anthony kept thinking about what he had done wrong. He felt he had never offended anyone, let alone the president of Bluebell. Then why did Bluebell's president suddenly cancel all cooperation?"Shit! What the hell is going on? Daddy must be angry right now." He bit her lower lip in worry.When he arrived at the courtyard, he got out of the car and entered the house. His father was already in the living room waiting for him with a look on his face."Dad," Anthony said, but one second later, his father was already abusing him with harsh words."You stupid boy, what have you done to make President Bluebell so angry, huh? Do you know your stupidity is putting our company on the brink of bankruptcy!" he snapped. The veins on his neck were tense and his hands were at his waist."Daddy, I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't offend Bluebell's president either.""Then why did they suddenly cancel all the cooperation contracts? Whose fault do you think it is that you didn't do

    "Has grandma been thinking of me as a family all this time? I don't think so." Erica roared, disappointed with her grandmother's attitude. All this time, her grandmother had only defended Nancy and her parents, never once defending and being kind to her.Erica was very sad and also upset. She didn't expect her grandmother to be so angry that she threatened to kick her out of the house just because of her attitude towards Anthony. Even to the point of not considering her family anymore.Disappointed, Erica left the living room. She sobbed, not knowing what else to say in front of her grandmother. Because it was all useless. Until whenever her grandmother would never support or care about her."Erica, Erica," Maria called with sadness. She could not bear to see her child suffer and be hurt like this. As a mother. She only wanted to see her child happy. But, all this happened not without reason.All these problems have arisen since Nate came to this house as a son-in-law."Erica, enough.

    "Well, thank you, Morgan. And I'm sorry for bothering you at this time of night," Erica said as she ended her phone call with Morgan.She felt a little relieved, but also a little scared if President Bluebell refused her invitation to come to the party. After all, they had never met and she didn't know what President Bluebell looked like. But, Erica hoped that if they agreed to this request she could escape from the problems she was currently facing."Erica, how? Did they agree and want to come to the party?" asked Maria with a curious look."Morgan is asking Bluebell's president, Mom. She'll call me back after she asks him.""Oh, I hope he accepts your invitation.""I hope so, Mom." Erica smiled slightly and then excused herself to go back to her room. "Mom, it's getting late. I'm going back to my room. If Morgan calls me again, I'll let you know right away.""Alright. Tell mom and grandma right away, okay?""Okay."Erica then left Maria's room.While outside, Nate was about to go t

    Erica felt very happy because of this good news, she put Lady Victoria, her grandmother, in a good mood. This would be very favorable for her and her mother, so they wouldn't be kicked out of the house. She would also prove to her family that she got the partnership because of her talent, not because of Anthony's influence. And they would find out at the party.Erica had a long chat with Victoria in her room to discuss what they needed to do to prepare for the party. Everything had to be organized, the party had to be very lavish and grand because this would be an opportunity for Erica's family to get more support from everyone.

    Elsewhere, Nate was still at Flo's house. They had just had breakfast together and Nate also told Flo all his complaints. He felt relieved because he had told all his problems so that now Nate felt a little lighter. Before Nate felt so sad and didn't know who to tell."Flo, I am very grateful that you have been a good listener for me. I haven't known who to tell my problems to, and I've always kept everything to myself without telling anyone. Because I didn't have any friends who could listen to my problems," Nate said."You're welcome, Nate. You can make me your confidant. You can come to me whenever you have a problem and you can tell me everything until you feel relieved. That way, your burden is a little lighter," Flo said as she patted Nate's arm a few times with a smile.Nate smiled too. He hugged Flo as a thank you. "And thank you for breakfast. Everything was delicious and you're a very good cook despite the injury to one hand. Your future husband will be very lucky to have a

    That morning, Erica went to the office with Nick. They chatted all the way about work or something they would do again later, and about Nick taking Erica to lunch at the restaurant he had looked up earlier."I heard that restaurant is very famous for its delicious cuisine and good service," Nick told her, "but if you don't like it, we can find another restaurant for lunch later."Erica turned her head sideways to look at Nick. "That's okay. I have no problem with the restaurant you chose," she replied with a faint smile."Perfect!" Nick exclaimed in a very good mood that day.Erica and Nick Lawson finally arrived at the company. As they got out of the car and entered the lobby, everyone who saw them walking together felt that they looked very compatible. But they couldn't say that for fear that they would be fired.But the staff preferred Erica to be with Nick Lawson who was of the same level as Nate who had no job at all and was just a poor man. Compared to Nate, Nick Lawson was more

    That morning, Erica woke up early because, at 5.30a AM, Nick Lawson would pick her up in front of the house to go to the office together. She got ready while Nate was still fast asleep in bed. Erica didn't intend to wake him up because he looked exhausted.She didn't want to disturb Nate's deep sleep and she intended to leave once she was ready. Erica sighed repeatedly because she felt that her day had been very boring lately. Coming home at night and leaving early in the morning just to work until she felt like her body was about to collapse from exhaustion.What's more, her relationship with Nate was on the rocks so she felt like half her enthusiasm had disappeared. If only their relationship wasn't deteriorating, Erica would have confided in Nate and at least it would have made her feel relieved to have told Nate all her problems.Because that's what Erica always did before their relationship fell apart. And Nate will provide support, encouragement and say everything will be fine w

    Nate and Flo have dinner together. They looked so happy as they ate and talked about many things. Nate doesn't even feel embarrassed anymore when he talks about his relationship with his wife. And Nate felt that Flo was a good listener."I'm glad you're willing to be a good listener for me, Flo. Thank you," Nate said sincerely."It's okay, Nate. I'm glad you're willing to share your problems with me. At least it can ease your sadness. If you have any problems you're having or anything you're thinking about, you can tell me. I will listen to your every problem, Nate," Flo said with a smile. She wiped her lips because she felt some food residue sticking to them, but Nate quickly grabbed a tissue and gave it to Flo. It made Flo's heart flutter to be treated so sweetly by Nate."You too, Flo. If you have a problem you're dealing with or something that's bothering you. You can tell me right away. I'll be ready to help you," Nate said. smiling as Flo smiled at him and thanked him for bringi

    Nate was really upset that day. He didn't even focus on work anymore after learning that Nick Lawson was the man who was with Erica in the photo. Nate didn't know how far their relationship had gone, but Nate had no idea that Erica was so close to this man named Nick that they could go out together until Nick Lawson opened the car door for her.A man would do something like that if he had a special relationship with a woman. Because it indicates that the man cares and cares about his woman.And every time Nate remembers the scene in the photo, he always feels upset and angry. Nate had to find out what their relationship was like and why Erica didn't tell him and lied to him about his work. While in reality, she was having fun spending time with Nick Lawson."Damn, this problem makes me dizzy so I'm not in the mood to do all my work today," Nate said to himself while slamming the document he had been checking before he signed it.He then looked at the time on the top right screen of hi

    "Do you need me to find out more about these businessmen, Mr. Nate? So you can decide which companies are free from corruption. Because right now, it's hard to find a company that doesn't do anything dirty," Morgan suggested."Instead of doing that, I want to ask you something," Nate said. He looked at Morgan for a long time. He was confused about whether he should ask and tell Morgan about his relationship with Erica, which was currently on the rocks. It's been a few days, even more than a week they fought and Nate doesn't know what he should do to make their relationship better again.Morgan frowned in confusion because Nate was suddenly silent and did not continue his words and instead daydreamed. Lately, she felt that Nate looked very sad."Sir, what did you want to ask? Why are you suddenly silent?" Morgan asked."Oh! Yeah, I... I wanted to ask you something about....""About Miss Erica?" asked Morgan, who quickly interrupted Nate's speech. She smiled when she saw the surprise on

    After coming to Flo's house, Nate went straight back to his company. His mood improved because he got good treatment from Flo. So attentive to her even though Flo is also sick, but Flo is still thinking about her who hasn't had breakfast.Meanwhile, his relationship with Erica is now increasingly tenuous. Nate didn't know what he should do to make their relationship better again. But he felt that for the past few days, Erica had been avoiding him.He knew that Erica had a lot of work and had to work late and come home at night, but Nate felt that Erica's attitude was getting strange.Usually, no matter if they were angry or not, they still went to the office together. But Erica just left. Nate didn't even know when Erica left and what she left with.It was the same when she came home. Erica didn't call him at all to ask him to pick her up. Either because some time ago Nate forgot to pick up Erica to make her wait very long, that's why Erica no longer expects to be picked up by him.In

    That day, Erica had a lot of work to do. After being dropped off by Nate, she went straight to her office, preparing some documents before she attended a meeting at nine in the morning with the staff. They were also discussing the ongoing evaluation.Erica organized everything as best she could so that no mistakes would be made and everyone would get a good score on their evaluations. Because Erica didn't want any bad comments about her staff where her grandmother was. Because that would show what kind of leader Erica was in the company and how she managed her office staff.Because if the office staff had bad evaluations, of course, it was the leader who had the problem. And if that happens, it is not impossible for her grandmother to revoke Erica's position as CEO of the Starry White company.Erica had earned the position of CEO at the Starry White company with the persistence and hard work that she had done desperately. Of course, she would not let her hard work go to waste. That's
