“What!” she gasped out in shock and flinched back in fear after hearing the manager's statement. “Who is that person if I may ask? What can I do to appeal to that person?” She asked and he scoffed.“That's not enough. You should stay away from me,” he said in a cold tone and she swallowed hard. “Please don't do this to me. I knew I shouldn't have offended that person but please forgive me, Sir,” she said and he shook his head with a sigh. “It seems you don't get what I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to tell you is that the person won't let me employ you into this company unless you kneel and apologize to him,” he said and she swallowed. She ruffled her hair with a frustrated look on her face, unable to remember that she had offended. “But I can't remember the person that I offended,” she complained and he scoffed. “That's your problem to sort. I had told you times without numbers that you shouldn't look down on anyone even if you're a celebrity,” he said and she shook her head
“What did you just say?” She asked and for whatever reason, the drunkenness flew out of her system the moment she heard his last statement. “I didn't say anything. Maybe you misheard me, right” he asked and chuckled mockingly. Her face turned red as she turned to him with an angry look on her face. “No, I didn't misheard you. You claimed that I haven't learned my lesson. What did you do to me?” She asked in a cold tone and he scoffed. “It seems you heard me. It's a good thing that you aren't deaf after all.”“It doesn't matter anymore whether you learned your lesson or not, but I'm certain you'll live to regret your action,” he said in a cold tone and crossed his arms under his broad chest. “How dare you threaten me…” she trembled in anger as she pointed at him. She hiccupped and staggered almost losing her balance but he came on time and helped her before she could fall. “I thought I told you never to touch me,” she cursed at him and pushed his hand away from her chest. “Is th
“What!” She gasped out in shock after hearing the shocking revelation. She couldn't believe her ears when she heard from her grandma that Smith wasn't the same person he used to be. She even claimed that he had become more powerful and mysterious. As much as she didn't want to believe her grandmother, she knew that it was true. She couldn't deny the change she noticed in him. He had grown taller and broader. He looks neat and healthy compared to the time he was living in their house more like a slave. He had even become bolder and colder so that weak-minded people could get intimidated by him.She knew her grandma wasn't a fan of exaggerating things. She meant it when she said Smith wasn't the person he used to be. She had better be careful of him then. “How could he become so powerful in such a short time?” She asked with a confused look on her face and Madam Kate scoffed. “Can't you get it? It seems he's related to Edward's family in one way or the other.”“I heard one of the
“I bet that's the reason why you're begging me, right?” he asked and she shook her head vehemently. “What did I expect from you? I made a mistake thinking you'll be truthful for once,” he said and she smiled nervously. “I'm not lying. Why should I?” She asked and he smiled. “A good question you should ask yourself and not me. You should know the reason why you're lying, right? Shouldn't you?” He asked and she looked away. He knew she was hiding something but he couldn't tell what it was. So to find out, he had to play alone and pretend he was on her side. “I thought I'd told you earlier. I'm begging you because I feel guilty for what I did to you in the past. Please give me a chance to make up for it,” she demanded and he scoffed. “Do you think you can make up for it?” He asked and she nodded her head quickly. “Yes, I believe. Although I know it might take time for you to forgive me, I'll be patient,” she said and he smirked discreetly. “So what do you want me to do for you?”
What! Micheal turned to a shocked expression on his face after he heard her chuckle. “Did you just smile?” He asked with a surprised look on his face. It was his first time seeing her smile after two years of working together as colleagues. She had always been cold and fierce. She barely talks to anyone. It was a shock to see her chuckle in the middle of a discussion that had to do with the young Master. “No, I didn't. Something is wrong with your eyelids,” she said coldly and he chuckled. “That's a lie. I saw it. You look beautiful while smiling. You should smile often. It suits better than wearing this cold face of yours,” he said and she glared at him. He swallowed hard as she stood up from the couch and strode toward him. “You're a weakling. This is probably the reason why you insist that you want to send the information to the young Master,” she said and he shook his head vehemently. “Okay, fine. I won't send it to him,” he said and she nodded her head. “Pretend you didn
“Should I take you on a ride with my car?” She asked and he shook his head vehemently. She frowned and glared at him with a confused look on her face.b“Don't look at me. I have already called for a cab. This apartment is yet to be arranged so when it's well-furnished and prepared, I'll call you and let you know,” he lied. In fact, the apartment has been fully furnished and everything has been set to his taste. He didn't want her to know his apartment yet. Ava, on the other hand, knew that he was lying but she decided to play along. “That's fine. But you shouldn't forget to invite me,” she said with a bright smile. “That's right. I'll invite you as soon as everything is set,” he said and she nodded her head. “That's the cab,” he announced and she looked up. “That's right,” she said and escorted him to the cab. She opened the car door and dropped his bag inside. “Goodbye. I'll miss you,” she said and hugged him. He didn't reciprocate the hug but she didn't mind. She smiled at
Ava spoke up quickly when she noticed the look on the face of her friend, Cynthia, who was observant and smart. “Smith Edward? You must have heard it wrong. How could I have any connection with Edward? I won't dare offend him even if I do have a connection with them,” she said and her friend arched her eyebrows. “But you sounded sincere about offending Edward earlier,” Cynthia insisted and she shook her head with a sigh. “I thought I'd told you. It must be a mistake. And besides, why should I offend the emperor's son with whom I have no connection?” She asked and her friend shook her head. “It seems you're right anyway. There's no way that I can save you if it's the emperor's son you offended,” Cynthia replied and Ava nodded her head in response. She forced out a smile on her face and replied. “I know, right.” “Give me his details before you leave. He might be someone my dad is acquainted with so it won't take anything to convince him,” Cynthia said in a concerned tone and s
“Is that the reason why you called me here?” He demanded in a cold tone. He didn't bother to mask his emotion. He was angry at her for asking him such a question. “No. I mean please can you…” he interrupted her before she could complete her statement. “Is that the reason why you became my friend? Is it because you wanted me to help you? Friend with benefits,” he said and threw a cold gaze at her. She swallowed hard and lowered her head in shame as she noticed the look on her face. At that moment, she regretted her actions. She shouldn't have asked him to do such a thing.“No, that's not the reason,” she said and kept quiet. She didn't know what to say. That was right. At first, she befriended him because she needed his help and some information from him but when they began to get closer, she discovered that he was a carefree person despite his status. “Then tell me why you called me here and asked me to help you talk to your former boss,” he demanded and slammed his fist on the t
