Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir Find out
Christian~My hands balled into fists, squeezing the sides of the envelope in return. 'Yes, sir' Brian nodded in acknowledgement to my orders. It was crazy, astonishing. My thoughts floated for a second, convincing me momentarily that the Chairman already knows about it. 'Wasn't that why he acted sober you asked about his wife's whereabouts?' my inner mind whispered.I straightened out, slid the envelope into one of my drawers, locked it and replaced the key back into my pockets. My index finger rested on my jaw and I struggled to think of something. Of a solution to this. 'Make your research on the man. Who exactly is he? Where is he from? And how they met?. Refer back to the resort they rented out to themselves for a whole week in Maldives, get to know what staff was present. Get as many information as you can'Brian furrowed his brows. 'That's going to be a little hard, sir''How many days do you need to get it done?' Impatience drooled my every word.'I'm not sure yet but the l

Christian~Dora smiled from the distance. 'I had my reasons. Damien wouldn't let me have enough rest if I mentioned it to him. He'd be asking me every second when you're actually going to arrive' Humor underlined her words as she said them..I chuckled deeply, still patting Damien on the shoulders. 'If I were in his shoes, I would do the same thing.' .He finally let me go, giving me the grace to rise back to my feet. My legs wobbled a bit from the long minutes of staying in that crouched position. I held the table for balance then eventually made it to my seat..'If you stand too long, your legs might start to have some funny reactions to it' I mentioned.Dora rolled her eyes, stepping farther into the office and settling on one of the sofas.'The visit was quite a surprise..''Damien and I were coming back from Tiffany's so we decided to stop by'My forehead wrinkled at the name. 'I never knew you both developed that close relationship. It's beautiful though.' I sincerely said, reme

~Lauren~I inhaled the floral scent of the air within the compound while assessing the building of the newly built medical school. It was a standard one. Aesthetic enough to the eyes. The building was made with mostly glasses, allowing it to seem very delicate. With my head held high, I proceeded to walk into the event hall when my eyes caught a familiar figure. A small smile found way to my lips. 'Lauren..' Joan yelled out my name from the hall entrance, her face lighting up amusingly. She ran towards my direction, squeezing me into an involuntary hug. 'You made it!' she beamed, grabbing my palm simultaneously.'Like I have an option. I already promised you. I couldn't break it' I responded, now embracing her in a voluntary hug. She reciprocated the act, squeezing me real hard than the first time. Once I started struggling to breathe, I pulled away. She searched behind me as if expecting a second party. My forehead creased in confusion while I followed her line of sight. 'Is there

Lauren~Bloopers. Why didn't I make up an excuse and stay back home. If at all I did that, she won't be able to tell whether it's a real or fake. If only I knew he was going to be present. Why didn't Joan tell me he's part of an invited guest? Maybe she didn't know.. I answered my own question.The way Joan squeezed my palm reassuringly and mouthed 'It's okay' made me know she saw through my nervousness.I inhaled deeply and concentrated on her father even though I didn't hear a thing he said. The opening ceremony came to a close and guests started to leave while others remained for the aftermath celebration.Joan chose to play dirty a little when she gazed to Christian's table and winked at him, an alluring smile on her face. My heart skipped a beat. I was undoubtedly envious. She shouldn't look at him that way. She shouldn't even talk to him let alone wink him. He's supposed to be mine alone. I screamed in my head. Out of the corner of my eyes, I sensed her body guard stiffen at her
Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir I love you, Christian
Lauren~'I see you've moved on' I said the stupidest words before I had an ounce of control over my mouth. Anyways, I kept my head high, acting like I wasn't myself, astonished at how blatantly the words got off.'Excuse me?' he rhetorically mentioned, his concentration stuck on me.I went on, very much aware this conversation will cost me earnest regret later. Perhaps, the four extra glasses of alcoholic wine I gulped down before coming outside is starting to already taking effect. I breathed heavily.'Isn't that a woman you ended the call with seconds ago?' I scoffed, shaking my head mockingly.'So what? How is that a problem to you?' His question didn't come out harshly. 'You've moved on now?, you're seeing another woman. You're so unconcerned about finding answers to questions you have in mind?'He cocked his head. 'Make me understand you, Lauren' He icily demanded.'Don't you care about your mum also? Don't you want to meet her again? Ask her why she left you in the first place?

Christian~She recoiled at my sight, sheepishly disappeared into the house and left me standing outside without an invitation in. However, the door was left open so I walked in, also helped myself to a chair.'I... I didn't e... expect t... to see you here' she stammered. I sensed her discomfort. She was holding the tv remote way too hard.'How about Aiden. Where's he at?''He's out to a friend's''He doesn't answer my calls anymore, now. I was hoping I'd use the opportunity to see him'.She twitched her face. 'He's trying to move on, Christian. He doesn't want to get involved and later in the line, get ditched again.'A bile formed in my throat. 'He should give me one more chance though.'She scoffed, eyeing me in dissatisfaction. It was the first eye contact we had since I stepped in. 'Well, it's not up to me.' she spelt her words out.I inclined my head. I'd work on seeing and talking things out with the lad. I'm not sure how stubborn be is or how long it's going to take but I'll s

Two Days Later~Lauren~I pulled my car into the under ground garage, stormed out of it before auto locking it and running into the office building. I had a crazy night yesterday with Joan and got a little drunk again. It made me sleep a little over my wake time. I started thinking of a perfect excuse to give if I get questioned. Nothing came into my head. I fought my feet into my 3 inches stiletto heels and stepped into the reception. The aura was tense than usual. The receptionist alongside her colleagues were overly concentrated on their laptop screens. Even with the sound of my heels clicking the floor, I got no attention except from the receptionist who in turn went back to work after noticing it was me. The silence was unusual, making me feel uneasy. I walked up to the receptionist in an attempt to satisfy my curiosity.'Something I don't know about?'.'The President is around' she whispered close to my ears.At the announcement, my pulse quickened. 'When did he come here?'The

'There's a news.'My elbows leaned on my desk and I looked closely. 'Let's hear it'.'There's a connection between the man Mrs. Forbes went on a vacation with and the one who writes horrible articles about the Forbes, sir'.'What?!'He inclined his head in affirmation. 'That's right. All we need is get enough information about him, send him to the police or better still, take laws into our hands' he shrugged his shoulders.The information the PR team had prepared when I asked that they look into the article a d fish out
