Davina struggled to come up with an excuse to tell Damian this time. She glanced at Damian, who had been staring at her intently. All of Davina's suspicious movements were visible to him.
Damian patiently waited for Davina's response. It seemed difficult for her to answer his question this time.
"We played golf together. I tried my hand at it, but it didn't go well. I've never learned golf before," Davina tried to convey the truth, although it was not entirely honest.
"Played golf together?" Damian frowned.
"Yes. Caroline lent me her golf club. If you don't believe me, you can ask her," Davina insisted.
"Then what did you talk about?" Damian was still unsatisfied with Davina's answer.
"Your father asked me about my work and suggested I play golf. After that, I stopped for an ice cream before returning to the studio apartment. The rest is what you already know," Davina concluded her story.
Damian fell silent. He couldn't help but wonde
Damian parked the car in front of the law firm, ensuring that Davina arrived at work on time."Davina, I've instructed the driver to pick up your car from the court. Would you like it delivered directly to the law firm or your home?" Damian asked.Davina unfastened her seatbelt and replied, "Just drop the car off at the mansion. I can take a taxi home from work later."Damian insisted, "Don't bother with a taxi. I'll try to pick you up from work later."Davina looked at Damian, surprised and happy. Despite his busy schedule, Damian always made an effort to prioritize her.Damian turned to her and asked, "Why aren't you answering? You won’t me to pick you up from work?"Davina quickly shook her head, not wanting Damian to misunderstand. "I would love that. Let's go home from work together."Davina hesitated to open the car door, knowing that there was something they needed to discuss. Initially, she didn't want to bring it
"I apologize, boss, but suddenly, Director Marcel threatened to withhold my salary for three months. He claimed I only needed to assist him in secretly capturing a photograph of him conversing with a woman. Unaware that she was your wife, Director Marcel introduced her as his fiancée," the female employee confessed as she knelt before Damian, revealing the truth behind the slanderous rumors that had tainted Damian and Davina's reputation."Informing this company's employees about Davina's role as my wife has been a part of my introduction since assuming the CEO position on my first day. How could you not remember?" Damian asked in a sarcastic tone, not losing his composure."I deeply regret that I cannot recall your wife clearly, and I did not have a clear view of the woman speaking with Director Marcel," the female employee expressed her remorse.Damian chuckled, pretending to display disappointment. It seemed apparent that Damian needed to involve Davina in public more frequently so
Marcel gazed longingly at the computer screen, where a graph displayed a downward trend. As he heard a knock at the door, Marcel allowed the person to enter. He furrowed his brow when he saw Maggie standing in his office room."Maggie?" Marcel raised both eyebrows, noticing that Maggie seemed different this time. He couldn't help but be drawn to her outfit today - a short shirt and skirt that exuded sexiness."So, Director Marcel, is spreading rumors about CEO Damian's wedding part of your plan? It seems like the whole employee is reacting strongly," Maggie began, playing her role."You've figured it out?" Marcel smirked."I would have to be a fool not to," Maggie replied, moving closer to Marcel."Does Damian know that you're secretly taking pictures of him?" Marcel inquired."Of course not. CEO Damian is too preoccupied with the new product launch deadline. He doesn't have time to worry about me," Maggie explained.Marcel smiled with satisfaction as Maggie boldly approached him. He
Damian parked his car discreetly behind an abandoned building. It didn't take long before a mysterious woman nonchalantly entered his vehicle without even asking for permission."Did everything go perfect?" Damian inquired, his voice laden with anticipation."He trusted me entirely. I told you you could rely on me," the woman responded, her demeanor confident.Damian received a loose disk from her and wasted no time connecting it to his laptop."Good job. I knew I could count on you," Damian praised, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips as he observed the data displayed on his laptop screen."But for now, maintain your role until the game is complete. Marcel would go mad if you abruptly disappeared," he added, sliding an envelope filled with a stack of cash towards her."I don't accept bribes," she firmly replied, determination etched."Consider it a gesture to treat yourself to a fancy dinner. It couldn't have been easy kissing an ass like him. I could practically see your disgust f
Maggie continued to feign busyness with the computer screen, pretending to wrap up her work. Having recently joined WW Technology as a phony employee, Maggie swiftly took over the desk Damian had prepared for her. She opted to avoid any introduction as a new staff member, wanting to avoid drawing unnecessary attention from her colleagues.To prevent other employees from assigning her tasks she couldn't handle, Maggie refrained from asking questions or engaging in conversation with her coworkers.Marcel, who had just arrived at the office, greeted Maggie with a smile as he approached her desk. She skillfully disregarded Marcel's presence and went to the office pantry, expecting him to follow."Maggie, why did you leave me?" Marcel asked, seeking an explanation."Didn't I inform you that I had some matters to attend to?" Maggie replied, her tone dismissive.Maggie switched on the coffee machine inside the pantry and turned to face Marcel. Without hesitation, Marcel approached her, placi
"Please come in," Damian invited her upon recognizing her voice. Maggie entered Damian's private office, apologizing for coming at her convenience. She assured Damian that no other individuals were in the building besides the security guards, even double-checking to confirm her statement.Understanding the circumstances, Damian had no issue with Maggie visiting his office. In this situation, Maggie's identity was more at risk than his own. Only Damian knew that Maggie was a police detective."Please, have a seat wherever you feel comfortable. What brings you here?" Damian inquired.Maggie stood confidently before Damian's desk, as standing for extended periods was second nature to a cop."Marcel mentioned that he would receive the company's money within three months at the latest. The funds he received had to pass through others first. He indicated that his company's name began with 'ser.' Marcel stopped himself before divulging any further information, as he disapproved of my persist
Cheers of triumph erupted from the hardworking individuals dedicated to creating this remarkable product. Overwhelmed with pride, Damian reveled in the success of this venture that he had overseen firsthand.Davina could hear the excited chatter of her colleagues, all basking in the glory of their collective achievement."Incredible! We've made a million dollars in just ten minutes," one employee exclaimed proudly."All those late nights and overtime were worth it for this new product," another employee declared, moved and inspired."I can finally sleep peacefully tonight," a relieved employee said.Taking hold of the microphone, Damian addressed the crowd, instantly commanding their attention."Thank you, every one of you, for your hard work. I want to extend a special thanks to those who contributed to developing WW Technology's latest technological masterpiece. And, of course, I must express my gratitude to our shareholders and directors who entrusted me with this responsibility. R
Nick's brow furrowed as Davina abruptly averted her gaze. Suppressing a chuckle, he observed her covert glances before retrieving a hidden bouquet of flowers from beneath the table. However, that was not all. Davina also grabbed a plate and deftly loaded it with cookies and cakes.Recognizing Davina's struggle to balance the bouquet and plate in her hands, Nick intervened and took hold of the plate."Let me hold that," he offered.A smile graced Davina's lips as she added a few more cookies to the plate in Nick's hand. It would be rather embarrassing for her to handle it while appearing famished.Following Nick's lead, Davina ventured into an unoccupied room. He placed the cake plate on the table, allowing Davina to savor her treat more efficiently."Thanks," Davina expressed her gratitude before settling into a chair.She placed the bouquet of flowers on the adjacent seat and eagerly claimed the first slice of cake. During the previous WW Technology company event, Davina hadn't had t
