Today is the most awaited press conference of LHI. “Are you ready?”I smirked at Ulie. “Of course.”He offers his hand to me, and I gladly accepted it.Aside from Ulie and me, Nick will also be joining the press conference along with the legal representative from CIC and LHI.Ellie's family is with us. They will stay in the waiting room beside the hall where the press conference will happen. They will watch the live press conference there. And they will take care of the twins for the time being.Jace opens the hall for us. Many reporters from all TV networks, newspapers, radio, and magazines attended. The non-stop flashing camera started as soon as they saw us entering the hall. Jace stays beside the stage while we continue to go to our designated seats. A legal representative of LHI gave the opening statement. He told the press that they are only allowed to ask questions after we answer the issue. He gave them two main issues that we will answer. Is Mr. Ulysses Kade Escarrer th
“Of course there is. And we already know who is the person behind all these.”The media started to murmur and flash cameras again.This is a big scoop for everyone. They will not miss it for the world.The legal representative started to explain my claims.“After the commotion in the LHI resorts media launch, our company started to investigate. It’s obvious that it was well planned and someone is behind this.” He started his speech.“We look on the bank account of the person who maliciously accused Ms. Cabello of doing dirty tactics to get the LHI Resort Project.”“And we found this on his bank account three days before the said event.” The monitor showed them the bank transaction of the person he mentioned but it didn’t reveal the person who transferred the money to the said bank account. “Also, days after the event, he was seen meeting Mr. Ventura of RV Engineering and Architectural Services.” He revealed.“Are you saying that Mr. Ventura of RV Engineering and Architectural Servic
After the press conference regarding CIC’s credibility in getting the LHI Resort Project, our company was still a hot topic in the country. The only difference now is that all the write-ups were positive. Our credibility is now cleared, and our stocks tripled- the stocks will be considered at an all-time high, thanks to Nicholas Hearst and Ulysses Kade Escarrer.“Ellie, the receptionist, called, and she told me that Mr. Ventura is in the lobby and he wanted to talk to you. I told her that you would not meet him, but Mr. Ventura insist on meeting you, and now he is making a scene in the lobby.” Luna reported to me.I am not surprised by his sudden visit. I heard that his company is facing bankruptcy because of his scheme. When Ulie announced that they blocked listed RV, it was expected that it will be the end for Mr. Ventura’s company.No one will want or even attempt to work with them. Working with them means that they are on Escarrer’s bad side. It will surely be hard for Mr. Ventura
“Alistair and Amelia! My babies, your auntie misses you so much!” Kaela went to the twins when we arrived at Escarrer’s mansion. The twins’ grandparents requested us to spend the weekend with them in their mansion.It’s been a month since the issue with Mr. Ventura happened. The company became so busy because of the two projects. Engineers from CIC started to execute the project and I can’t wait to see the final execution of the project. “Ellie, can you consider living here with the twins? I want to spend time with them every day.” Kaela said for the nth time.Whenever she visits us in the penthouse or their mansion, she always offers me to live with them here in the mansion. “You can visit the twins in my penthouse every day if you want to spend time with them every day. You are always welcome.” I just said.She pouted her lips. I’m amazed that she still offers me to live with them even though she always receives the same reply.“Kaela stops annoying Ellie,” Ulie said to his sist
“What if she asks you to give Ulie to her, will you give her what she wants?”My forehead furrowed. “Why are you asking me this kind of question? Did something happen?”He shrugged. “Nothing. I was just curious. The Adelson didn’t do anything when the Escarrer cancel the marriage that they have agreed on.”He has a point, even I, myself were quite surprised when the Adelson didn’t make any move nor reaction to Escarrer’s sudden decision.“What do you think?” He asked me.I heaved a sigh. “I’m don’t know. I don’t know them personally, I have no idea how they think.”“I know Hadley. We were classmates in college when I studied abroad.”What? Is that for real? So it's safe to say that he knew him quite well.“Are you guys close?” I curiously ask.Honestly, I am interested in her when Ulie told me that she was the girl he was supposed to marry. Hadley Adelson has a good reputation in the business world. She was the heiress of Adelson Hotels. I heard that she was good at handling their bus
Ulie is clingy these past few days. It all started when I told him that Nick and I are friends. I see him in my office every lunchtime, and he will invite me to have lunch with him. I can’t reject him because he will always assume that the reason why I am rejecting him is because of Nick.One time I have a lunch meeting with someone. We are having our breakfast when I inform him about my lunch meeting.He said to me. “Are you sure that it's a business lunch meeting, or you will just meet Nick?”I rolled my eyes. “Why will I lie to you? I will meet Ms. Hernandez to discuss a potential project with them.” “Are you sure? Why did you set that meeting at lunchtime? I can call her if you want. I will ask her to move your meeting to 2 pm.”My jaw dropped. “Seriously, Ulie, what is happening to you? You were acting like a paranoid husband.”I saw him averting his gaze. “Fine. Let’s have lunch tomorrow then.” He said in defeat.Aside from invading my lunchtime, he is also invading my phone.
“Are my babies ready?” I smile at Ulie as I showed him the twins. Today is their dedication day in the Church and also their official appearance to the public (with media).“They are so beautiful.” Ulie utter as he gives the twins kisses.“Of course they are. We are their parents, it’s already given.” I confidently said to him.He chuckled. “Mommy is getting cocky here. But we can’t deny that she is correct. Right babies?”The twins giggle as if they understand what we told them.I can’t help myself but give those two lots of kisses.“Finally you guys are here!” Kaela said as she went to us the moment our car arrived at the hotel parking space.The church venue is in the Laertes Hotel ballroom. The church is renting the said room for church service.“We are not yet late Kaela. Stop overreacting!” Ulie hissed at his sister.Kaela pouted her lips. “I just miss the twins, brother. Let’s go inside already, everyone is waiting”She went to me to carry Amelia while I was carrying Alistair.
Time flies so fast. Many unexpected things happened. Who would have thought that my plan of having someone to be with will come to this?I only want to have a child of my own, but God gave me more. He gave me a great partner-not romantically, but he can still be considered as family. Ulysses is a great dad to my soon-to-be five years old twin. Aside from Ulie, God gave me his family. It’s like a package deal.I couldn’t ask for more. I am very contented with my life right now, not to mention how my company grew for the past five years. We are now one of the in-demand architecture and engineering companies.Our company starts receiving clients abroad. My parent's vision for the company is now happening. I am sure that they are happy with all the company’s achievements.Speaking of international clients, we are currently waiting for Mr. Schulz of Schulz Technologies. Schulz Technologies are planning to have their office building here in the country.Most international clients, especia
