In the office, Charlotte was pacing up and down with her hands tucked behind her with an angry face.She was unsettled, and she couldn't tell how she felt at the moment. “I just hate disappointment. This b*tch had the guts to switch off his phone without sending the…” Charlotte's words hung in her throat after the office door suddenly opened.Immediately Charlotte set eyes on Kate, she plastered a fake smile on her face, as though she weren't angry earlier.But even at that, Kate still noticed her angry face, even though Charlotte tried harder to hide it from her.“Hey, Kate. Are you done with the short meeting the CEO called you for?” she nervously asked as she tried to maintain a smiling face, even though it was tough to do so.However, Kate didn't hesitate to show Charlotte that she noticed her sad face. Her gaze was fixed on Charlotte's face.“Why do you look sad, Charlotte?” Kate asked suspiciously, even though she was already aware of what they were told about Charlotte last nig
Charlotte's guilty conscience took control over her as Aidan stood an inch away from her with gritted teeth.She waited for him to speak out as her eyes were already shut, but only silence followed. Aidan didn't say a word, rather than staring intensely at her.After waiting for a long time and without hearing a word from Aidan, she slowly raised her head to see if Aidan was still standing before her.Unfortunately, she discovered that he was still standing before her after setting eyes on his legs, but she was still curious to see his entire body to be convinced.Immediately she had eye contact, she quickly fell on her knees and surrendered.“Forgive me, please. I never meant to do it. It was my cousin's brother who threatened to kill me if I didn't do it. Have mercy on me, please.” she pleaded as tears flowed down her cheeks.“What are you talking about, Charlotte? What have you done wrong to warrant this?” Aidan asked as he lowered his gaze to her.Charlotte was lost by his questio
Charlotte shoved off the thought and displayed a fake smile as she eagerly waited for Aidan to narrate the short story.After a few seconds, Aidan started. “ There was a certain time a lady went shopping alone. Along the way, she met another lady who was also shopping alone, while everyone else in the supermarket was with a partner.This lady decided to approach the second lady and asked her if they could be friends since both of them had no partners to gist with while shopping. The second lady accepted with pleasure.After shopping, the two ladies left the supermarket. On getting outside, the second lady discovered that the first lady who approached her had already planned an ambush against her.” Charlotte was lost as to why this story had to do with the surprise Aidan had for her. This made Charlotte unsettled and anxious to know how the short story is related to the surprise the CEO has for her.“Unknowingly by the first lady, the second lady's uncle was an army and he was close by
Despite being forgiven and comforted by Aidan, Charlotte found it hard to forgive herself because she was still feeling guilty.As soon as she entered the car that would drive her home, she burst into heavy tears, and her bodyguards had to ask what happened.Out of anger, she yelled at them to let her be. They obeyed and quietly drove her home as she continued weeping inside the car.She wasn't only crying because of what happened between her and Kate, but she was also convinced that she would never see Felix again.It would be hard for Felix to come back to her. The reason is that Felix was scared that Charlotte might harm him one day, considering that she was already aiming to harm his elder sister.He had already labeled her as an evil lady. Again, her cousin's brother was also hunting him, and he wouldn't want to fall into his hands the second time.Therefore, Felix found it the best option to stay away from Charlotte.<
There was remaining just a day before Aidan and Kate would leave country B. They intended to spend a week, but it was already a week and Aidan added an extra day to it.Charlotte was in her room as she pondered how to handle the current situation because it was eating her up.She would rather not be the reason for Aidan's downfall because Liam wasn't joking when he said he was going to burn down the company.“What have I done to myself?” Charlotte worriedly muttered and stood up before folding her hands above her chest.Her face was looking moody like the previous day. She was sad the previous day because she couldn't reach Felix. Now she's worried about what Liam was planning against her boss.“I think I know what to do to put an end to this,” she assured herself after an idea popped up in her mind.Charlotte sat back on her chair and tore a paper out of a notepad and began jotting down a few things she would tell Aidan.
Liam was on the basketball pitch for morning exercise because it was still morning. He does this every morning even though he hardly wakes up early.On the basketball pitch, he sighted Kate dropping the car with tears flowing down her cheeks.Just after she stepped out of the car, she ran inside the house, leaving her handbag behind, but her phone was with her.Liam stopped his exercise and called one of the guards who escorted Charlotte, and the young man quickly ran to him.“What happened this time? Was she beaten by her boss or what?” Liam worriedly asked.Even though he likes mistreating her, he also dislikes it when someone out there hurts Charlotte. He was always avenging whoever hurt Charlotte.“I can't tell, boss. She came out of the office shedding endless hours and there was no way we could have asked her what happened because she would get angry at us.” the bodyguard sadly explained.“I see,” Liam nodded. “ Al
“Officer, here is the younger man who had threatened to set my company ablaze,” said Aidan and pointed at Liam who was stepping out of the house.Immediately, Liam had that, he frowned as he walked up to them.“Who are you and why are you accusing me of what I knew nothing about?” Liam yelled at Aidan through gritted teeth.Aidan didn't reply to him, rather, he allowed the police to take over because he already explained everything to them at the station. However, the only thing the police officers needed was to confirm from Liam whether what Aidan said was true or not before they would know what to do next.“Excuse me, sir,” said one of the police officers. “ Are you Mr. Liam by name?” “Why are you asking? Do I owe you anything? Do I look like an armed robber or what?” Liam bombarded the police officer with questions.He wasn't afraid because he was used to police approaching about being reported by someone, but he a
Of course, Felix wasn't aware that the house address Charlotte sent to him was Liam's father's mansion address. The only thing that appeared to be strange to Felix was the estate address and not the house address because he never knew Mr. Sebastian's mansion address.It was when he arrived at the mansion that his eyes were opened, but he wasn't ready to go back without meeting Charlotte.Felix no longer fears Liam, even though he might be aware that Liam was searching for him.Thankfully, the estate gatekeepers already knew him because he always saw him with Liam every evening anytime he was being taken to the club for his usual work.Therefore, it wasn't hard for him to have access to the estate because the gatekeepers couldn't tell whether he was still working for Liam or not.Felix stiffened in his position without moving an inch, not because he was afraid of Liam for escaping from him or Aidan for stealing his wristwatch.The reason fear gripped Felix was because he saw the polic
