"Uncle!!" They both stood up and welcome their uncle who came from vacation in the province. "I have something for the two of you," he greeted them while he gave them strawberry jam made from the farm. The old man also sat on the bench so they make space for him so he can sit. "How are you, Merideth? I've heard you're already married," Merideth forced a smile, she didn't want to show that she was crying earlier but it was obvious, her eyes were swollen, "Yes, I've been married to a CEO's son for five months," she answered. "I'm happy for you Meri that you have found someone who will love you truly," Uncle Ben smiled at her, "You married a rich man so I guessed your living your life to the fullest?" "My husband and I enjoyed our vacation and honeymoon in Switzerland. We were only there for a few weeks and we're now back in town because he needs to do a lot at the company," the time she was with her husband was only for a short time and she was left alone in the mansion. "How about y
"There's a problem within the company," said Adam when he returned to the bakery shop. He and Oliver were in the cafeteria while Julie had not returned there. "What happened?" Oliver wanted to know."Carter didn't do his part. He let the workers suffer and many workers left the company and the CEO was hot-headed," Adam answered, "Your dad was disappointed in your step-brother. He deserves to be scolded, very arrogant, and mocking other people. Very callous.""Hmm...if workers leave because of mistreatment then they did a good decision. They don't deserve that. While the company should take action to resolve the problems of each worker," Oliver was looking around looking for Julie who hadn't been able to return. "The HR department's new policies suck. When you take sick leave, doctors' statements as oof of sickness aisn'tallowed anymore," Adam showed him a printed paper on the company's policy that he needs to analyze as the CEO assigns him to change the policies. "What?! Are they t
Earlier when Adamson was inside the company, they had a heated fight with Carter who was upset when he found out that he was the one reporting to his dad about what he was doing in the company which destroyed his plans. "Are you now betraying me?! Maybe you forget that I can do something to end you!" He threatened but Adam didn't show any fear if he exposed his secrets. "Then do it. I don't care. I'm already born a traitor but my loyalty is always to my best friend. I'll do anything to defend and protect him," he countered, he no longer fears Carter making him submissive. "You're too much! You've done nothing but destroy. You hate Oliver that much 'cause you can't admit that he's better and your dad prefers him more than you!" Adam was almost punched but he grabbed his wrist. He pushed Carter against the wall. "How dare you turn your back on me!" Carter pulled Adam, "You'll regret disobeying me. Tomorrow you won't be able to show your face here!" He strangled him using his necktie
When Carter returned to the mansion, he was greeted by his wife who was waiting for him to return. Merideth also just got home from meeting Julie and Uncle Ben at the park. No one noticed that she left, her husband and mother-in-law forbade her to go outside alone so she's careful when going outside."What's wrong? Why do you look stressed?" Merideth took off his clothes, she took a towel to wipe her husband's sweat. "I'm going to rest first love, I have a tough day," Carter said sitting on the sofa, while Merideth just hugging on his back, We'll talk later when I'm in a good state of mind." "Sure. Take a rest honey, you're gonna be okay," she said calmly and Carter held her hand in his belly. "Thank you for being here my love, I love you," he whispered and Merideth kissed his right cheek. She assisted him to move, she lies him down on the spacious comfortable bed. "I love you more. Just relax okay, I'll cook food for our dinner later," she left the room and went to the kitchen whe
Merideth was wondering who was the person who victimized her, but she had no idea who it was and she even tried to investigate inside the company. She didn't find any leads but she found out about Oliver and Carter being siblings which surprised her. Merideth couldn't understand what reason why the person who blackmailed her had to do that. She feels that someone hates Oliver, so she used to get revenge on him, but she remembered no one knows about their relationship. They just hid their relationship due to policies in the company that ex-coworker isn't allowed to. "Meri..." Carter was talking in his sleep. Merideth caresses his hair, smiling. Even though Merideth was going through a difficult time, Carter came into her life. She didn't regret marrying someone she didn't know well. She also fell in love with Carter who takes good care of her and does her duty as a husband. Carter might be arrogant but he will take care of the one he loves, he's overprotective and territorial, and won
It was the month of February, and Valentine's day is coming the trio prepared for that occasion for their valentine's day sale in the shop."Do you have a date this February 14?" Adam asked Julie who arranged the bouquets. "Nah. You know we're very busy at work Adam, we don't have time to enjoy our love life," she pouted, then focused on decorating inside while Adamson was like a dog that was following on her back. "We can enjoy it if we give it a try. Would you mind if I'll take you as my date?" Julie turned to him with a poker face. "Are you serious? I'm the one you choose to date? C'mon look around, there are other better girls you can mess with," "And why not you? And to clarify, I'm not messing with you okay? I'm just inviting you to a friendly date," he said. Julie has no interest in other men but she was waiting for a specific person to take her on a date. "Sorry, Adam but I'm too busy. We have a lot of things to fix this week. Just find another available person," she apolo
Oliver has a delivery to a customer online. He placed the orders for the pastries on the motorcycle Adam lent him. The customer's location is a bit far but there's no traffic so he can easily go there. While he was driving, a red car sped up on the other side and almost ran him over."What the hell!" His soul was almost torn from his body in sheer shock. He fell off the motorcycle but was not injured because he was wearing safety gear and a helmet. The red Lamborghini stopped when a traffic enforcer stopped him. Oliver slowly stood up even though his left leg hurt. He approached the fancy car and he didn't expect to see a man when he opened the window. "Carter??" He looked at his stepbrother who raised his shades. "Who are you?" Carter couldn't recognize him because of his black helmet so he took it off."Oh! It's you Oliver? Wow. You're a delivery rider now?" "Jerk. Did you see the red light? So why are you speeding?!" Oliver was pissed off. "Sorry I thought it was green," Carter
"Carter was mad knowing that Adamson gave reports on me about what he was doing in the company. He thought that I believed Adamson more than his reasons. I was fair to both sides, there were only issues with the workers in the company and we fixed it little by little," When the CEO returned to the company, Adam and his son Carter had conflicts. "Yeah Adam shared about it, it's a big problem that needs to be resolved. I was just surprised when he informed me he resigned, I was wondering if something bad happened to him," Oliver knew that his friend would not leave for no big reason. "Don't worry, I'll give him some time to think about it." His dad opened the box that he delivered, he saw that the cake inside was damaged. "Sorry if I ruined it," Oliver apologized. "No, it's fine. This still looks delicious," Mr. Thompson licking the cake icing on his finger."You're now leaving?" His dad noticed that he stood up. "Yeah. I still have deliveries to other customers, there are a lot of
