Lola held a contract file in her hand with the brightest smile on her face as she walked into the Styleon Group Corporation building. She was returning from Eckre Empire Headquarters and she had just achieved an amazing feat that no one else in her company had done.She walked straight into the elevator and headed straight to Edmund’s office. She knocked and was allowed inside.Edmund sighed as he looked up from his desk to find the last person he wanted to lay his eyes on. “Oh, it’s just you “ There was nothing but disappointment in his voice. “What do you want, Blaine? I don’t have the time or energy to entertain failures.” He chuckled out of self-amusement.Lola sneered at her heart. This man had always been like this. It had always been a nightmare working for someone like him. All these years, she had always believed that this man had the best intentions for her, but now she realized that it was all an illusion he cooked perfectly for her.Lola raised the file in her hand. “I’m h
Edmund was smiling from ear to ear as he walked into Fisher’s office.“Good day, Mr. Fisher.” He walked over to the man’s desk.Fisher raised an eyebrow at this; he hadn’t even given the Sales Director permission to sit down. “Hello to you too, Edmund. Why do you have such a weirdly happy smile on your face?”Edmund chuckled almost like a little kid as he dropped the contact file that he got from Lola on the table. “Sir Fisher, you should check this out.”Fisher had a confused look as he opened the file and went through the details. “Edmund, isn’t this the contract proposal with Eckre Empire Headquarters that had been rejected multiple times? Why are you having me go through this again?” It didn’t take more than a few seconds before his frown turned into shock as he saw that the contract had been approved by Eckre Empire Headquarters.Edmund felt glee as he saw the shock on Fisher’s face. “You can’t believe it, right?”Fisher kept his gaze on the word for a while before he looked up a
Lucas looked at Miles with his head raised high. “Um, I want you to speak to Lesley on my behalf. Ever since things went crazy at that old man’s birthday party, she kinda blocked me on all social media platforms. I really miss her, and I think you’re the next best way back into her heart.”Miles had a confused expression on his face. “Hold on! Let me get this straight. After the Blaine family basically found out you were a fraud, just like I warned them multiple times, they finally threw you out of their life. Worse, Lesley doesn’t want to be with you anymore. Now that you need a way back into her heart so she can forgive you, you came to me for help.” He waved his hand in Lucas’s face. “Hello?! Do you still realize who you’re talking to right now? I’m the same trashy poverty-stricken man you used to look down on all the time. Or have you forgotten you said these things about me?”Lucas raised an eyebrow at Miles, not looking apologetic in the least. “Look, I’m not
Lucas didn’t care if he was being too loud. “You should be grateful that I even considered talking to you, and offered you money. Aren’t you the same broke-ass man who has disappointed his entire in-laws?”Miles turned around and glared at Lucas. “Lucas, get lost already. Can’t you see we’re in a calm environment? Behave appropriately or be excused out.”“You want to buy a car? Are you serious?!” Lucas burst into laughter as he pointed a finger at Miles. “How can you afford anything here?! Listen here, just because you gave Mr. Jonathan a jade box that turned out to be priceless doesn’t mean you can delude yourself into thinking you have any money. Everyone knows you bought that item for $5!”The female worker who had wanted to guide Miles heard everything and she began noticing that Miles's outfit was very cheap. She scooted away from him with a frown. She berated herself for not realizing that this man was poor.“Hello, Sir, if you’re not really here to buy any car, I would have to
Lucas didn’t stay long after he witnessed Mike buying the $12 million car.When Miles and Kelsey got home to Lola, Kelsey was in the best mood.“Mama, I missed you!” Kelsey ran into her mother’s arms, hugging her tightly. “How are you?”“Mama is doing well, baby!” Lola smiled brightly at seeing her daughter.“My love, you’re home. It’s nice to see the office isn’t holding you up like before.” Miles walked over and hugged his wife before kissing her.“Ew!” Kelsey shrieked and she quickly covered her eyes. “You have a kid here!”Miles and Lola giggled at Kelsey.“Mama, mama! You won’t believe it but Dada bought me a car!” Kelsey began to describe how beautiful the car looked and how much she truly loved the vehicle. She was an innocent kid who wanted to share this piece of good news with her mother.Lola’s smile faltered as she turned to her husband. “Miles, you bought a car for Kelsey? How much is this car?” Miles nodded his head. “Yeah, we went over and bought the car. She would need
Miles was surprised when he entered the bedroom to find his wife crying her eyes out. “My love, what’s wrong?” There was a deep frown on his face as he rushed over to her side.“Honey, I’m confused right now. I just don’t know what to do.” Lola rested her head on her husband’s shoulder.Miles rubbed a soothing hand up and down her arms. “Why don’t you start by telling me what happened? Let me be your relief tonight, so let it out.”Lola took in a deep calming breath before she began narrating all that happened; right from when she was forced by Edmund Porsche to take on the impossible task of getting the contract deal with Eckre Empire Headquarters, up to where she recently found out that Edmund has shamelessly taken all the credit for her hard work.Miles smiled warmly at Lola. “I understand how you feel and you have every right to be in this mood. But don’t forget that the contract deal was registered under your name when you accepted it. That is something Edmund can’t change. Soone
Once they got to Eckre Empire Headquarters, the two went to the large foyer to talk to the receptionist. Once this receptionist confirmed them, they were led to the floor where the project manager was waiting for them.Once they got to the designated floor, they quickly found the room and the project manager waiting for them. With a huge smile on his face, Edgar introduced himself to the project manager. Edgar didn’t bother introducing the sexy lady he brought with him, and the project manager also didn’t bother asking about her name.“It is so nice to meet you.” Edmund couldn’t help but gush slightly. “I never thought that Eckre Empire Headquarters would finally accept the contract we had failed to get approved.”The project manager smiled professionally. “Of course, it wouldn’t have been possible if Miss Lola Blaine hadn’t presented us with some impressive presentations. I was really impressed with the way she delivered the introduction to the proposal back then.” The man began gla
Lola was surprised at what she just heard. “Mr. Porsche?!” She had to be sure it was him she was talking to, so she checked the caller ID once again. “Mr. Porsche, please, slow down. What is going on?”“Miss Blaine, I am currently at Eckre Empire Headquarters with the project manager you secured the contract deal with.” Edmund was at a corner of the meeting room as he whispered into the phone. He glanced back to the couch to find the project manager looking quite impatient. “The project manager has refused to start this meeting without you. He was speaking through gritted teeth. He hated that he had to beg Lola, of all people, for help. Alas, he had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, he would ruin this contract deal and might even have it canceled. “I need you here as soon as……” Edmund wasn’t sure what he was hearing as he listened to the sudden beep sounds coming from the call. Lola was no longer on the other end of the call. “Did this woman just hang up on me?”Meanwhile, Miles
