She was quiet for a long time just watching the rain hit the closed hospital windows mercilessly. It really doesn't rain much in San Francisco but when it does, it rains heavily. She remained so silent for an unbearable period of time that her bodyguard had to call out to her,"Miss...?" That was when she turned back to him and he was a little bit startled to see the hollow look on her face. She tried to sit up and he hurriedly walked forward. He pushed a button by the bedside and the bed automatically rose to a sitting position so Mandy was able to sit up without making a move. He then stood back and waited for her instructions. She finally opened her mouth to say something. Her voice sounded so cold that even him could feel the anger in it. "So they gave him two days to solve the crisis?," He gave her a quick nod. She suddenly laughed. "Two days is too much of a time to waste. They shouldn't have even given him any chance at all. They should have just snatched that posit
"No, it's... fine... Good night... and... make sure to... drive... safely," she immediately stopped them after remembering the hurtful words her mother said earlier that day. It won't be nice to bring the people she had referred to as 'useless friends' into the house. They still looked worried though and reluctant to leave. She had to wave at them and then slowly staggered into the house. She almost fell but luckily, someone caught her. She looked up but couldn't recognize the person holding her until he said,"Young miss, welcome back. Why did you stay out so late though? Madame was so worried that she waited for a long time in the sitting room but you didn't show up." The heavy french accent was evident in his voice. It's the old butler. Heaven immediately pulled away and tried to stand upright. She hiccuped and thanked him,"Don't... worry uncle.... I'll be... fine. Good... night." Then she staggered up the stairs. She walked into the hallway and rested against the wall, g
Jake didn't wait for a response after he knocked on the door before barging in. You can't blame him, okay? The food bags in his hands were hot and probably scalded his skin. Leo looked up with a raised brow and closed the file he was reading. Before he could say anything, Jake explained with a pout,"Boss... Have mercy. The meal is still hot and it's hurting my poor hand." Leo chuckled. Why is he pouting like a child? "Are you single?," His sudden question made Jake almost drop the paper bags in his hand. He coughed as he quickly dropped the meal on the table not minding where it landed. "Huh? Boss, what did you say?" "You heard me." "Hehe boss," Jake hid his nervousness with a fake laugh. "I just wanted to confirm that my ears weren't hearing things." Leo didn't respond. He faced the takeaway of food in front of him instead so Jake sat opposite him and asked anxiously,"Why... Why were you asking, boss?" His heart pounded fiercely as he asked. Why the heck did the
She checked the caller id and frowned to see an unsaved number. She ignored it and drank her juice thinking that the caller is probably some insurance agent or a broker again since she's been getting constant calls from them lately. Perhaps they would stop when she files a complaint against their company. But when the caller remained persistent, she was forced to answer the call with a suppressed groan. "Hello," She made sure to make her displeasure distinct in her voice. "Hi. Is this Heaven? Heaven Greene," An unfamiliar female voice came through the call. "Yes," She gave a curt reply however. "Yay!," The lady suddenly squealed loudly. This made Heaven pull the phone away from her ear since the loud sound was hurting her ear. "It's so nice to hear from you again Heaven. At first, I wasn't sure if Ciara gave me the right number cause I remember how she never failed to show that she hated your guts," the lady gushed. Heaven furrowed her brows. Ciara? That bitch?
Sarah walked to him and tried to assist him. As soon as she managed to get him to stand upright, he fell sideways, falling on her. She immediately did her best to catch him and totally wasn't expecting the next thing that happened. 'Blergh!!,' he puked on her! As the pungent smell of his vomit filled the atmosphere and slipped into her nose, she groaned in disgust. Her clothes were already so wet from his vomit and it was beginning to fall on the carpet. Sarah would be lying if she said she wasn't irritated at that moment. As if to make matters worse, the doorbell rang. She looked up with a helpless look while the doorbell rang consecutively. How is she gonna deal with him, her clothes dripping with vomit and the doorbell!? But surprisingly, the doorbell stopped. Perhaps the person left when no one came to answer him/her. She made Scott sit on a chair. She was going to take care of herself first, then come back to clean the carpet and give him a well-deserved bath! She da
"Ma, I brought all the clothes you asked me to bring and the documents too," Mandy sat up as the bodyguard dropped a small sized bag on the bed and began to bring out the contents. Mandy didn't look particularly interested in the clothes but her eyes shone when he finally brought out a wide, brown envelope. She snatched it from his hand and hurriedly brought out the file in it. She caressed the papers and heaved a sigh of relief. At that moment, the bodyguard beside her noticed the cruel glint sparkling in her eyes despite how innocent her smile looked. He lowered his head and wondered if he should still tell her about the incident that happened when he went to the house. She'd probably be so glad to hear that the young... Point of correction. He meant to say that the Ceo was so drunk to the extent that he couldn't even recognize anything or their current situation. But then, he thought about that scantily dressed lady that made it obvious that she was too close with the b
Even though she was wearing a long overall, he could still see subtle flashes of the tiny brassiere underneath it and the very little shorts. She's really got no decency at all! Leo paused, he suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be mad at her and not spare her a glance. But here he is, trying to get the outline of that tiny brassiere out of his head. He looked away with a grim look and discreetly scolded himself inwardly. "Grandfather, something came up and I have to leave sooner than expected," He turned to James instead. This time, it was Victoria that noticed that he didn't offer his usual greetings. Her eyes turned cold. He must have been so hurt last night but who cares? James nodded and looked at the black car that drove towards the direction of the driveway. "Then make sure to keep in touch with Alan. The brat accidentally made it slip to me that he's in England for business purposes. But what business purpose!? I know that brat too well to know that he's probably th
The chauffeur choked and unintentionally lost control of the wheels so the car swerved a bit. Leo didn't react to this nor did he open his eyes. Why are they acting so stunned? He'd only needed to relieve some of the tension brewing in him and the slut had offered to help. But he hates to admit that her skills were mediocre. Otherwise, he won't still be feeling so tense. He squeezed his eyes short and snapped them open when the memory of her standing in that overall appeared again. His hands gripped the car seat tightly as he gritted his teeth in anger. His decision to remain silent isn't when they call him names doesn't mean he can't retaliate. He just keeps holding back because of James but neither Victoria and Heaven understands that. Jake looked at the chauffeur who mumbled apologies and missed Leo's expression. He nodded and tapped a button causing the divider to rise. He then turned to Leo who was fiddling with his phone. He wanted to say something but when he sud
