“Didn’t you hear me? Come here at the HR before you leave today,” the woman on the other line hung up after saying that.
Abby was left shocked. Her heart was beating so fast as she tried to think what were the things that happened today.
She didn’t receive any complaint so why was she being called?
“Miss?”
“Miss?”
The man in front of her repeatedly called her.
“Oh, I am so sorry, sir.”

“Please make sure to come to the office thirty minutes early,” Geneva continued. But all her words didn’t sync to Abby’s head. She was just looking at her while her heart was still throbbing so fast. “Miss Nixon?” The HR officer called her attention. “Are you listening to me?” “Oh,” she mumbled and then she nodded her head. “B— but ma’am, why am I going to report in his office?” “He requested you to be transferred under him and work as his secretary,” Geneva continued. “Haven’t you had an encounter with him?” Abby suddenly felt her cheeks turn red. “Yes, Ma’am.” “I can’t help but wonder what he is planning because out of all the applicants he has chosen you instead. You have to be very careful and do your job very well,” the HR office reminded her. She smiled timidly. “I will. Thank you, Ma’am.” “Okay, you can go now.” Abby nodded and then she stood up and left the room. She closed the door and then leaned her back on it. She sighed.

The sound of the alarm clock woke up Abby.She rubbed her eyes and lazily got up the bed.Abby suddenly woke up herself as she realized that it was the day that she feared.

Her voice almost couldn’t be heard.“Ryan, please do the orientation to Abby,” he said and then he went into his office without giving her another look.“Abby, are you okay?” Ryan asked as soon as Eduard was gone.“Y— yes,” she said as she nodded her head.“Are you sure? You look like you are not. You are so pale,” he said.“I am so sorry, Ryan. I am just really afraid. Do you know why I am the one who has been chosen?”“Well, I think the CEO just likes to work with you, why?”“I am afraid that he might make things hard for me because of our previous encounter.”“Jeez!

“Is this the woman that he hired as his secretary?” Auntie Ana asked while one of her eyebrows raised.She looked at Abby from top to bottom. Obviously, she was looking down at her.“How can she be qualified? I heard that this woman didn’t have any degree. Ryan, what exactly is your boss planning?”Ryan was just quiet. He didn’t want to get involved with the family feud.“Tell me, is he trying to degrade the quality of the staff that we are hiring in the company? I came here and recommended to him someone who graduated from a very prestigious university but he declined it. How could this woman who didn’t even graduate college got the position? What kind of game is he trying to play?” Auntie Ana continued in a firm tone.Abby was just silent. She was looking down at the floor because she didn’t know what to say. She was right. She was not deserving of the position but what could she do? Eduard ordered her to report to him directly.“Look! Look at her, Ryan. She couldn’t even carry hers

Edward was going around the crowded hall with a tray in his hand that was filled with drinks. It was just another busy night for a waiter like him. He tried to stay focused on what he was doing as he just lost his job and he couldn’t afford to lose that either. “What the f*ck!” One of the well-dressed guests screamed as she angrily looked at Edward. Unfortunately, he accidentally tripped over a chair and spilled a glass of red wine onto the dress of the guest. “I am so—” But before he could finish apologizing, a sound of a slap resounded in his ears. “Stupid!” The woman said her eyes squinted. “Do you know how much this dress cost? Even if you work all your life you cannot afford to pay this!” The woman’s hand landed in his other cheek again. Edward felt his both cheeks were burning. He was so shocked that he couldn’t move from where he was standing. “Why are they hiring such incapable employees like you? Where is your supervisor?” The woman ignored his apologies. It was as if

“Again!” Edward’s supervisor rushed to him as soon as he heard the shattering sound of the wine glasses that fell from his tray. “What are you trying to do? How can you be so careless?” “I am so sorry,” his supervisor apologized to the guests. Everyone was looking at him while his supervisor continued to curse at him. “How could you do this to me? How could you betray me, Isabella after all the things that I have done for you?” Edward thought to himself. He wanted to speak but he didn’t find the strength. “Don’t let it happen again,” Donovan said coldly as he looked at them. “Tha—” “Enough, Edward. You are fired! Get out of my sight,” his supervisor said in anger. “I can’t believe you have ruined our event twice in a row!” But Edward didn’t move from where he was. “That woman!” He shouted but before he could even finish his words the guards came in. “That’s enough! Get out that man here!” “Hey! Stop making a scene!” “Let me go!” Edward mumbled behind the hand that was cover

Eduard couldn’t stand up straight after the kick and punches that he received.Was that how a poor man like him would need to endure in life? He never stepped on anyone for him to suffer like that.Eduard was walking on the street without knowing where to go. He felt he lost his purpose in life after he saw his wife with someone else.He was about to cross the street when all of a sudden, a white car stopped in front of him.“Eduard,” a man went out of the car and called his name.His eyebrows furrowed as he looked at him.“Butler Nathan!” He shouted. “What are you doing here?”“What happened to you?” The butler asked as he looked at him with scratch and wound all over his face.He shook his head and forced a smile.“It’s just a misunderstanding,” he simply said. “Where are you heading?”“I am really looking for you, Eduard. Get inside the car,” the butler ordered.Even if he was hesitating, Eduard got inside the car.“What do you want?”“I know that it has been years since the last t

Eduard’s eyes became sharp as he looked at Auntie Ana.“While I still have my respect, please leave. If you continue to say anything about my mother, I do not know what I can do next. Please take that woman with you and leave my office. Or do you want me to call my father to let him know that his wife is trying to disturb me from working?”Eduard tried to hold his temper but he really wanted to shout at the woman who was in front of him.He could take everything that they wanted to say about him but not about his mother. She had already suffered enough and she was already at peace.“Why? Are you afraid that the people here in the company will lose respect from you when they know the truth?”“Ryan, can you please guide the guests out of the office?”“Okay, sir.” Ryan who was standing behind Auntie Ana said and then he convinced the woman to leave and not to cause anymore trouble.“I cannot believe that even Ryan is following this man.

"Take a look at this resume," Eduard said when Ryan came near him. He handed the piece of paper to his assistant."Isn't she already working here?"Ryan's eyebrows knitted together as he looked at the photo intently. He was trying to recall the woman's face. It didn't take long and he nodded his head."You're right, sir.""I think she's the receptionist. Why is her resume still here?""I am not sure but that can be a mistake. Let me ask the Human resource department.""Please," Eduard said and he put Abby's resume at the top of his table.Ryan made a phone call and Eduard was just listening to his assistant as he was speaking to the Human Resource department.If it was really a mistake, he could see that he had to review the other department's process as well. It was a small mistake but impacting.What if they contacted a person who was already an employee? Wasn't that embarrassing? Their system would really be questioned if that happened.He let out a deep sigh. His father worked hard

It was another day for Eduard going to his father’s company. It was still early in the morning and as soon as he entered the building, he was greeted by the employees. His eyebrows knitted together because he knew that they were not yet informed who he was and what was his role in the company.“Good morning, Sir,” they greeted him one after the other with smiles on their faces.“Good morning,” he said as he nodded his head.“Good morning, sir,” Abby greeted him as well when he passed by the reception.It had been a couple of days since he took her with him to meet Donovan and Isabella.“How are you?”“I am fine, sir. Thank you for asking.”Eduard just smiled and then went on his way. He could not explain the feeling he had at that moment. It was the first time that he felt proud. Before people would always look down at him because he was either an illegitimate child or because his mother was called a whore.For the first time in his life, he felt that he was top of everyone.“Good mo
