Miles had been in a very joyous mood when he arrived home with his daughter. Kelsey had bought an ice cream and she was in a very happy mood. Unfortunately, the loving woman they met at home threatened to ruin the mood.“Hey, my love. How was work?” Miles got closer to Lola and he was about to place a kiss on his wife’s cheek only for her to push him away.Lola glared at Miles with anger. “Don’t you dare come near me.”Miles’s face slowly lost its radiance as he stood in confusion. “My love, what was that for?”Lola simply turned away from Miles and walked away from him. “It’s nothing.”Miles sighed. Only a fool would believe that the beautiful woman wasn’t in a terrible mood right now. Even a blind man could easily decipher the truth solely based on her tone.Miles wasted no time as he followed her to the living room. He sat across from her with a concerned gaze. “Are you hungry? I can order us some of your favorite seafood. You’re gonna…” He didn’t get to finish his words.“Shut the
Miles watched with an emotionless face as Lola mocked him. He felt a bit of grievance at the fact that he had become someone unreliable to his own wife. Lola couldn’t even trust that he had the power to properly protect her against external problems.When Miles thought about it, he realized that he couldn’t blame his wife for thinking this way about him. After all, his wife had only ever seen the most embarrassing side of him. He was beginning to regret that he didn’t tell Lola of his true identity from the beginning. His wife would have been living an amazing and worry-free life right now instead of dealing with so much nonsense.The Creek heir shook off the thought of regret. He knew better now; he was going to use his entitled power to trample on anyone who dared to mess with his family in any way from now on.With a cold heart, Miles left home without saying a word to his family. He grabbed a taxi and headed straight to Styleon Group Corporation.On getting to the company, the tre
“Yes, Sir!” Fisher bowed his head slightly, looking more like a butler than a company manager. Once Fisher McCall was gone, Miles instructed his subordinates as he began making some calls. No one messes with his family and gets away with it.Back at Miles’s home,Lola noticed that Miles had left their house without telling her about where he was going. Worried, she picked up her phone and was about to call him but she halted as pride welled up in her heart. If there’s anyone who should be taking the initiative to call, she believed it should be Miles as he was responsible for their argument.She was still pissed at him. At the office, her superior – Edmund Porsche – had always treated her with respect, until Miles messed it all up by disrespecting the man. The worst part was that with Miles gone, Edmund was taking revenge on her instead. She shook off her train of thought and brought herself back to the present. Since Miles wasn’t here, she couldn’t leave Kelsey alone in the house a
Lola had left Styleon Group Corporation in anger, and it was all due to her husband once again. Lately, that was all she had been getting from Miles – Anger.She was currently on her way to see a client in order to close a new deal for the company. At the thought of this, Lola felt helpless.Back when things were quite simple, she used to be excited about these things. She was always meeting up with clients with an optimistic mind and a confident personality. Most of the time, she had always closed the deal on a good note. It was why Lola was one of the most valued employees at the company.Sadly, that had no longer been the case. Ever since Edmund had suddenly changed towards her, her work life had turned into a world of anxiety for her. Worse, Edmund started setting her up with opportunistic clients who always forced her into doing things she didn’t want to do.The particular client she was meeting today was the same person she met the last few times. For some reason, he had refused
Lola couldn’t take it anymore. The client’s hand on her thigh really irked her. She felt the strong urge to go home and scrub any trace of his hand off her body. She had tried her possible best to be professional through this meeting, but the awful man had the audacity to threaten her into sleeping with him.This was why Lola felt no remorse when she got up and slapped the man across the face before leaving Meanwhile, the client could not believe what had just happened. Though it didn’t take long before the stinging pain on his cheek made him realize that he had indeed been slapped. He then furiously yelled out threats as he watched her leave the restaurant.The client was about to reach out to Edmund to have Lola fired. After all, he was the contract agent from the company that Styleon wanted to work with. He had begun texting Edmund when a call came in. The client was left in deep shock as he saw that it was the CEO of his company who was calling him.“Hello, Sir.” The client quick
An angry and frustrated Lola had become deeply sad as she was now sitting by the bus stop, waiting for the next public transport to show up. She couldn’t get what happened out of her mind. She had slapped the very client she was supposed to coerce into signing that contract deal. She regretted her action, berating herself as she told herself that she could have done better. She wished she had been more patient with the client.She was sure that she would get into trouble once she reported what had happened with the client to her superior. She sighed in further regret. Edmund had been berating her endlessly at the office, constantly telling her coworkers that she was ineffective. With what had now happened, Edmund will use this as proof of her ineffectiveness.“Miss! Miss Lola! Please, hold up!”Lola jerked up at the sound and she turned her head to find the client running toward her. As soon as he stopped, he was wheezing as he caught his breath. It was clear that this man had been ru
When Lola got to the office to submit the contract file the next morning, she was unnerved as she was met with smiles and pleasant greetings from her coworkers. She quickly ignored them as she had long chosen to focus on her work while ignoring any form of insults that might be directed at her.Lola got to the company manager’s office and she submitted the contract file. “Sir, the contract deal was a success.”Fisher McCall smiled at her. “I know; the company we’re working with called to make a formal confirmation on their side.” He stretched his hand in the direction of one of the two seats on the other side of his desk. “Please, take a seat.”Lola was worried when she heard this. This was not her first time bagging a minor deal with a company. Normally, once she submits the file, she’s supposed to get back to work. But now, the company manager was suddenly asking her to sit.“Sir, is there a problem with the contract file? I personally went through it before presenting it to the cli
As a pseudo-sales director, one of Lola’s jobs is to attend meetings with the other upper-ranked employees at Styleon Group. Though she was still on probation under the guidance and mentorship of Edmund Porsche, she was required to be there to learn the ropes of how these meetings go, including the topics that are discussed.Lola had been excited to attend this meeting, and she had even stayed up the previous night to study all the important aspects of what will be discussed at the meeting. She had even gone through the company’s archive to get a deeper understanding of things. Right now she felt like she was ready to show her new coworkers that she was worthy of the promotion she got.Once the meeting started, Lola paid close attention to what was discussed, taking necessary notes for her to go over later. She never expected to be asked anything as she was still in training, and yet, Edmund had other plans. He intended to embarrass Lola by showing the other coworkers that she wasn’t
