All the dresses that Vanessa came out in looked like they were made for her.
Ms. Carmen wanted to ask her to model for her store, but she knew that it was inappropriate since she was the future Madam Cho.
Such a woman of high status was not suited to be a model, she was meant for greater things in life.
“Miss Vanessa, I actually have some outfits that I think would look good on you. They are office wear and everyday wear, I would like to invite you to try them on.” Ms. Carmen said as she circled Vanessa.
She was right about Vanessa’s measurements at first sight, everything fit her like a glove.
“I coul
“Amalia, I think I left my coat inside the dressing room, would you accompany me inside to get it?” Robert Ke asked the young woman with dazzling hazel eyes as he began to panic. The moment the words left his lips, Robert Ke knew he had said the wrong thing. “Robert, you’re wearing your coat.” Amalia Cho pointed out looking at him as if he were crazy. In front of them, Stephen gave Robert a thankful smile as he left the boutique with Vanessa. He quickly drove her back to work before finally returning to Cho Industries. It was only when he arrived back in his office that he was able to fully process what had happened. He had seen his younger sister. He wanted more than anything to turn around and hug her, to tell her that he wasn’t dead. Stephen wanted to introduce Vanessa to her, he wanted to tell Amalia that she was going to have a sister-in-law that could help her bully her brother. He wanted so many things and yet he couldn’t speak to her. When Stephen returned to the off
“Ch- Ch- Chairman Cho.” Catherine Ying said in shock as the Chairman approached her. “It seems to me that you are putting your own interests ahead of the company, what did this young man do to you?” Eldrich Cho asked as he glanced at Stephen, pretending not to know him.Stephen’s team members gasped in shock. Not only did the Chairman arrive at the perfect time, but he was also pretending not to know Stephen.They began to wonder why the Chairman and Stephen were hiding the fact that Stephen was personally recruited by the most powerful man in the company.“Chairman, it’s just that my department has a lot of matters to work on. We don’t have a lot of time to answer his queries.” Catherine Ying tried her best to save her own skin, but she already knew that her efforts were in vain.Eldrich Cho had heard it all. Stephen had sent him a message on Monday asking him to witness something, he didn’t even ask his grandfather for help. But, how could the old man watch as his grandson and h
Back at Cerulean Cafe, Stephen calmly sat back down in his chair as the members of his team stared at him in shock.They were still processing what had happened, while Stephen was already eating his meal.He looked up at them and gave them a confused look.“The food will get cold.” He told his team as he resumed eating his meal.“Sir, how can you think of food at this time?” Andrew Wong asked as he looked at Stephen as if he had grown two heads. “Because it’s lunch time.” Stephen answered them. “Why are you acting as if someone had just died and come to life in front of you?”“Sir! Do you really not realize what just happened? What you just did?” Natalia asked Stephen as she shook her head.“I spoke our truth and got lucky, it’s not a miracle.” Stephen replied.“So that wasn’t you asking a favor from the Chairman?” Andrew Wong teased as Stephen looked at him and smiled.“I may have mentioned to him that if he wanted to see something exciting, to come to Cerulean Cafe for lunch. The d
“What is this?” Vanessa Ty asked as soon as Stephen rolled down the window of his new BMW G70.Stephen couldn’t help but stare at his fiance when he saw her walk out in one of Ms. Carmen’s gowns.She looked beautiful in the light pink gown that hugged her figure. He also couldn’t wait to peel it off of her when they got home.“It’s on loan from my employer.” Stephen said as he got out and opened the door for Vanessa. “It’s for attending events.”The car was not on loan.Eldrich Cho had purchased the car in Stephen’s name and even had it modified to have the hig
“Mr. Hao, it’s been a while.” Stephen greeted as he and Edward Hao walked away from the Ling family home.“Stop pretending Stephen, no one can hear us.” Robert Ke said with a laugh as he joined the two men.Stephen smiled and looked around. He noticed bodyguards of the Ke and Hao family keeping people away as they moved further into the garden away from the public’s eyes.“It’s been too long.” Edward Hao said as he hugged his friend. “We knew you weren’t dead, you couldn’t be, you just couldn’t.”“Is it safe to speak here?” Stephen asked.They were still on
Vanessa ran away as soon as she saw Stephen with Amalia.“Stop her.” Stephen ordered Robert and Edward. At that moment he sounded like Stephen Cho, heir to the Cho enterprises and not Stephen Sy, abandoned son.Edward was quick to tell his bodyguards to get Vanessa before she could make it back to the Ling mansion and make a scene.“Amalia, yes I’m alive, but right now I need you to trust me.” Stephen said as he glanced at Robert who stood guard, making sure no one wandered too closely.“How?” Amalia asked, her eyes pleading for an explanation.“I’ll tell you everything, b
When Vanessa opened her eyes the first thing she saw was Stephen.At first she smiled and looked at him lovingly, Stephen had hoped that she had forgotten about the previous night, but he was wrong.Her expression quickly went dark as soon as she remembered him with that woman, Amalia Cho. Then she recalled how she was chased, gagged, and later knocked out by those bodyguards from the Hao and Ke families.“You bastard.” Vanessa spat as she sat up and slapped Stephen on the face.Stephen was not at all surprised by her reaction, it was within his expectations.Vanessa on the other hand was shocked when Stephen didn’t get mad. He simply sat there and accepted the slap she had just dealt.“You’re crazy.” She hissed as she glared at him.“No, I deserved that.” Stephen said with a sigh as he looked at her apologetically.“What?” Vanessa asked as he looked at him in shock. “Are you admitting that you cheated on me?” “No, no, I’ve never cheated on you.” Stephen said, shaking his head. “But
“Vanessa?” Alona asked as she opened the door. “Alona, I’m so sorry, but I need a place to stay.” Vanessa said as she held back the tears that were fighting to fall. The entire ride she was cold and stiff. Unfeeling and unwilling to let Stephen’s driver see her breaking down. When she got to her cousin’s door, however, it was a different story. “Sure, I’m sorry it’s a bit of a mess. My boyfriend is here.” Alona said as she blushed and let her cousin in. True enough there were clothes all over the place, tell tale signs of a heated night. “I’m sorry to bother you.” Vanessa said as Alona swept through the room, collecting their clothing. “It’s fine. Give me a moment and let me warn Wi- my boyfriend.” Alona was quite hesitant to let people know who her boyfriend was. Most members of the Ty family complained about it, but Vanessa didn’t care. As long as the man loved her cousin and treated Alona right, it didn’t matter who he was. “Thank you.” Vanessa mumbled as she sat down
