Mikel knew the Fernando's Int'l was owned by Fernando, but his father had an issue with Fernando, and they swore never to work together in anything.He knew that his son had taken over the company, but would Fernando still want to have anything to do with them?When he was thinking about partnering with a company in Texas, Fernando's Int'l was the first company that came to his mind, but he knew it was almost impossible to partner with them."What's wrong?" Andrea asked, looking confused. He must have heard of Fernando's Int'l before, and must have been aware that the company was one of the big shots in the business world. She wondered why he acted surprised."No…nothing. It's nothing," he responded, shaking his head, "aside Fernando's Int'l, what other company is can stand the competitive market?" He asked."Why? What's wrong with Fernando's Int'l?" She asked, resting her hand on the bed, to support herself."It's nothing, to be honest," he said.Andrea would not let him ruin her ch
Andrea blushed.She didn't realize she was holding Mikel's hand. She lowered her head, to hide her face that had turned red."Yes, uncle. This is Mikel, my soon-to-be fiancé."They looked like a real couple—married couple. Fernando saw how supportive and defensive Andrea was to Mikel. He hadn't seen her this happy before, since she reunited with her family."Is he the one you talked about, before?" Fernando asked again. He wanted to be sure that he was really the one. She had talked about him, but she didn't mention his name."Yes, he is," she replied, smiling. She stood up to leave, so that Jayden wouldn't come home and see her. "We'll be leaving now, uncle.""Why? You just arrived. And, wait! Shouldn't you be at work?" He asked, staring at her with a questionable look.This was what she was trying to avoid. She didn't want her uncle to ask her anything related to Jayden or work.She thought of what to tell him. She couldn't tell him the truth, just yet. It would only worsen the situ
Charles had gone to the hotel to meet one of his whores. His main whore, rather. One of his men had called him for something urgent, while he was still in bed with her.He had rushed out of the hotel, leaving her there, to head back to his usual place. She quickly got up and followed him.He didn't go with his driver, he drove the car himself. He had not noticed the man behind him, as he made to reverse the car.He heard someone shout, and looked through the mirror. He saw someone behind his car, and that he had almost hit him.Mikel had seen the car coming, and had quickly stopped in his tracks, before the car had hit him.Seeing that he wasn't hit, Charles didn't mind. He drove out, without saying sorry, instead he blamed him for being careless."Watch your steps, next time. You might not be lucky!" He said, disdainfully, before driving out of the place with the lady, who was trying to fix her hair.He didn't know who he was talking to. If he had known, he would've feigned kindness
Charles had zoomed off to his usual place—his hideout.When he arrived, he met Nathan standing with few of his men. He frowned, not knowing why Nathan had called him back."What is it?" He asked, approaching them with long strides. He seemed to be really pissed."I think the Fernando's are planning something. I don't know what it is, but it has something to do with a future business meeting," he stated, glancing at the lady beside him.Charles was quiet for a while. The only business meeting he was scheduled to have was with the Jackson's. They were one of the richest automobile company, and he would not risk his chances of partnering with them. It was the only he could wiggle his way in to the charts, and retain a position there.He thought of how much he would make from their partnership, and that only made him grin."Find out what the Fernando's have planned for this meeting, and…shit! You know what to do, don't make me talk!" He said, and walked past him.He stopped just a few s
Carina wanted to wait and get an answer from him, but she knew she had to go and meet the boss. She wouldn't dare keep him waiting. Giving one last inquisitive look at Nathan, she walked past him, and headed to the elevator. Nathan sighed in relief. He had no disorder, so he thought. He looked at Alex in disdain, before leaving Carina's table.Alex watched him leave, without saying a word. He shook his head, and went over to Sonia's table."Hey babe," he said, pushing out a seat.Nathan had thought that Sonia didn't hear what he was conversing with Carina, but she did. Though she was busy with some files, her ears had been strained to listen to their conversation.She didn't mean to do that, but there was something she heard, and decided to pay attention to it. She wasn't the one in love with Nathan, so Carina might not notice.Nathan really looked like someone with a disorder, but she just couldn't point out what kind of disorder it was.She didn't want to tell Fiona about it, beca
Carina couldn't believe her ears. What the hell was wrong with Nathan? Wasn't he the one, who apologized almost an hour ago? Did he not trust her?Luckily, no one was close enough to hear the nonsense he spat."Nathan, what the hell is wrong with you? What are you talking about?" She said, giving him a confused look.Nathan scoffed, you know what I'm talking about, Carina. It's 10 minutes past 5pm, and you're leaving the boss' office with a smile on your face. What do you expect me to think?" He said, almost yelling.Carina knew that it was a misunderstanding. He had actually misunderstood her. If only she was not blinded by her love for Nathan, maybe she would have noticed that he was clearly not misunderstanding her. He hated the fact that she was going to be close to Jayden. He didn't want to see her around any man, except him.He believed that he was free to do anything, while he restrained his supposed woman from getting close to a guy."Nathan, c'mon. You just misunderstood th
When Carina arrived home, she ran to greet her mother. She had just returned from the hospital, and was waiting for them in the sitting room.Though Carina was busy at work, she did take out some time to visit her mother in the hospital."Mom, you are back!" She said, running into her embrace. Fiona could not act like the tough girl she claimed to be. She followed suit, sitting at the right hand side of her mother, and hugged her."I missed you two. I missed home," she said, hugging them tight."How are you feeling now, ma?" Fiona asked, disengaging from the hug. "I'm okay. I'm fine, now."Fiona looked at her, making sure she was really okay. When she was sure that she was in a good health condition, she nodded in satisfaction."I'm sure you've not had anything yet. I'll go prepare something for us," Fiona said, and made her way to her room to have a quick shower.Carina was left with her mother, "ma, how about you rest now. I have work to do, and guess what…I got a promotion!" She
Carina's heartbeat increased as the seconds passed by. She didn't know what to expect.Not like she didn't believe Fiona. She did, but there were talking about a professional secretary who has been in the business for long. She wanted to believe that she did a good job, but talking to Andrea right now, made her feel nervous.It didn't take up to 30 minutes, before she called her. Does it mean she didn't do well? How was Andrea going to react? She didn't want to let her down, but it seemed like she had already disappointed her."Hello, Carina."Hearing her voice, she felt even more nervous. "Go…good evening," she replied. She couldn't call her by name, as she had asked her to do, neither could she call her in a formal way. She just didn't want to do anything that will upset her."Why do you sound nervous? Is everything okay?" Andrea asked, sensing the nervousness in her voice."No, uh.. everything is fine. I just wasn't expecting your call tonight. I thought you might have slept, no
