She stood up quickly and went to her door locking it firmly to prevent anyone from coming in.
She returned and pushed Eddie violently.
But the latter seemed to have anticipated what she was going to do and hence, gave her a shoulder.
"Go ahead Eddie, kill me at once and end it. Claim the children and tell them their mother was murdered by you.
That way, you will have them to yourself alone and not bother to share the custody with anyone else.
What am I living for? What meaning will my life bring me?
My life got a New direction when I gave birth to those kids. They gave me reasons to embrace life again and found a purpose for living.
They are my only family, my companion and soulmate.
You not only took them away from me, but threatened to severed us forever!
You may be rich Eddie, but you are not t
"I said, you may leave!"he ordered and Agatha gave a slight nod. She turned back and walked out of the office. She returned to her office and soon took all her belongings into a big paper bag and went away at the close of the day. Few hours after the day's work, Eddie was going to leave but decided to give a glance at the plan. When he opened the first page, it was a letter he saw. He squinted and picked it up. His eyes became cold when he read the contents of the letter…Resignation letter! Agatha left the company? On what basis? She left because of him? He went through the resignation letter reading every line several Fredes. No wonder she insisted that he go through the plan and see if there are places she should correct. Eddie sighed. Why does she detest him so much? He had never done anything to destroy her or tarnish her image. If he had found her th
It will amount to him ruining his own future happiness and hers as well. Two lives living as a couple before the outside world but a complete stranger to each other. "I asked you a question, Eddie," Cheng Li demanded. Instead of his son answering his question, he remained stilled like someone who was lost in his world of fantasies. " Nothing special dad,"Eddie answered simply. Nothing special because things are the way they have always been. "I was told she came over to the company to invite you for lunch and you completely shunned her despite telling you ahead of Frede?"Cheng Li asked. Eddie had never mentioned that he was going out for lunch, dinner or any kind of outing with Emily. Since they were engaged, he should always let her be in his company. They are supposed to go places together and let people see them in love with each other. "Yes. She called me and I told
Julia said good night to his brother and hung up. He can't just imagine that Jennifer will take such a delicate decision. The employees of the Li's Group had the best welfare allowances besides incentives and salaries. Many people desire to join the company, that's why they are never out of staff. But Jennifer resigning from the position implies that she is letting all the benefits that would have been hers be taken away because she doesn't want to see the President. How does the office of the President interfere with her office? She blew off her license to live a comfortable life and he would go through other applicants and offer them the position the next morning. Eddie wondered at what Julia said. When the position was vacant, he was going to choose a great applicant with years of experience and a name to herself. But Clara said he has a candidate for the position. He reluctantly let him fill the position
Josh squinted. He saw that Jennifer was staring at him angrily. He looked away. He didn't come to see her for a fight but to ask her to reconsider her decision. "Josh, you are stepping on my nerves. What are you here for? Spit it out and stop asking me pretentious questions that you already have answers to"Jennifer snapped at her. She doesn't like it when people come to her saying one thing and having something else in their mind. Whatever he wants to say, he could just go ahead and say it rather than going Merry-round. "Why did you resign from the Li's Group?'' Josh asked, he was unhappy with Jennifer's approach and harsh words at him. "What business of yours is that? Whatever I choose to do, it doesn't have anything to do with you. So please mind your business"Jennifer shut him down. Josh was lost. Jennifer said such words at him? He never would have believed that a day
"Do you have drugs you can take?" He asked next and Jennifer said yes. He asked where she kept them and she wanted to stand up but he said she should sit down. Agatha pointed in a certain direction and he went to get it. But he paused when he saw the various design drafts that Jennifer had made. He checked through it all and admired it. These designs would definitely have fetched the Li Group hundreds of dollars if made into Jewelleries. He got the pills and gave it to her to take. He saw various pictures of the boys littered around every wall of the small house. It was like he was staring at his own childhood pictures. So identical if not the coloring. As soon as she took the drugs, it was getting dark already and Eddie was about to leave. "If at any Frede, you choose to sell your drafts, only Li Group should be your target. Always welcome there"Eddie stated and next said goodnight to her
She perceived his body scent again and felt she liked it. She pointed some parts to him and they discussed some. Julia asked where the rest of the drafts were? And Jennifer said she can't show them all because she was going elsewhere to market them. "You can't be making design drafts for other companies to make them compete with Li's Group. That's because your kids are members of Li's family and would take over the company in a few years to come. For that singular reason Agatha, you should only design for the Li's Group." Eddie said and Jennifer was speechless. "Bring all the design drafts out and I will buy all"Eddie added and Jennifer reluctantly brought the rest out. The ones she brought out last were the best designs. Eddie teased by saying she was planning to give the best to other companies and not them? Eddie got all the drafts and handed them o
Eddie locked eyes with her and saw innocence and sincerity in her eyes. He sighed softly and said " Come with me" He led the way upstairs and came to another corridor which housed some beautifully decorated doors. Eddie pointed to the room where Fred is and told her to check him in the room. Jennifer didn't even let him finish before dashing into the room. She saw the little fellow lying on the bed. He had a damp napkin on his forehead and he looked weak and fragile. "Fred Mo"she called out and immediately looked back. Thank goodness Eddie was not following her. She heard him call them by Li's family name. Fred opened his eyes slowly. Was he hallucinating? Did he just hear his mother's voice? He wished it's true but then he saw her Walk to him and held him tight. "Fred!", "Mummy!" The pair of mother and son held each other close. Her eyes already welled up when she saw Fred lying we
Eddie felt he was between the rock and a hard place. He doesn't know if he loves Jennifer but he definitely welcomes her around him. "No. Your mom and I aren't in love" Eddie replied and Fred started sobbing, he was breathing heavily and suddenly he saw him stretching and his teeth about to clench. "Fred!!" Eddie stood up hurriedly from the edge and rushed to hold him. His temperature had suddenly shot up and his eyes were closed. "Call the Chauffeur immediately, Lee. Fred please!!" Eddie yelled and carried him in his arms rushing out of the door. Jennifer already ran after Eddie and held him. "Fred wake up. I love your daddy very much. Look, I am going to be living with you guys henceforth. I love your daddy and he also loves me. Don't you love me honey?" Agatha said, breathing heavily. "Sure I love you. We both love each other. I was only teasing you Fred.
