Franklin was in his new home office, surrounded by piles of documents. His new company was finally taking shape, but the process of setting it up had been exhausting.He spent long hours reviewing files, making calls, and meeting with potential clients and partners. It left little time for anything else, let alone paying attention to what Daisy was doing.Meanwhile, Daisy was curled up on the living room couch, her phone in hand. A smile lit up her face as she typed a message to Oliver Hayes. They had been chatting secretly for weeks, and their conversations were the only thing keeping her spirits up.Daisy: Hey, are we still on for tomorrow?The reply came almost immediately.Oliver: Of course. I can’t wait to see you. Same spot as last time?She bit her lip, trying to contain her excitement.Daisy: Yes. I’ll find an excuse to step out. You’re not backing out, are you?Oliver: Never. You’ve been on my mind all day.Daisy’s cheeks flushed as she quickly deleted the messages, making su
“Good,” Daisy replied with a smile. “Just the usual.”Franklin watched Daisy closely as she walked in. Something about her felt… off. She looked too happy, too carefree, like she had just come back from a fun trip, not from running errands.“Welcome back,” he said, trying to sound normal.“Thanks!” Daisy replied cheerfully, setting her bag down on the couch.Franklin didn’t say much else. He just stood there, watching her. His gut told him something wasn’t right, but he had no proof. Daisy wasn’t careless. Whatever she was doing, she was covering her tracks well.“You okay?” Daisy asked, tilting her head as she noticed his expression.“Yeah,” Franklin said quickly, forcing a smile. “Just tired.”“You’ve been working too much. You need to rest,” she said sweetly, walking over and giving him a quick hug.Franklin stiffened for a second but then hugged her back. “Yeah, maybe.”The house was quiet, but his mind wasn’t. He couldn’t stop thinking about everything that had happened recently.
The next morning, Franklin decided to break the news to his dad. He’d been staring at his phone for over an hour, debating whether to make the call. He knew what his father’s reaction would be, but he couldn’t keep this a secret forever.Taking a deep breath, he dialed the number.“Franklin,” his father answered after the second ring. “It’s been a while. You’ve finally decided to stop hiding?”Franklin ignored the jab. “I need to tell you something.”There was a long pause on the other end. “Go on.”Franklin rubbed his temple, the words heavy in his throat. “Daisy’s pregnant.”Silence.“Dad?”“Are you telling me,” his father’s voice came low and sharp, “that the girl I explicitly told you to stay away from is now carrying your child?”Franklin felt his chest tighten. “Yes.”“You knew she was trouble, Franklin! I warned you about this girl from the start. And yet, here you are, proving me right again.”Franklin clenched his fist. “Dad, I’m handling it.”“Handling it?” his father barked
"Suite 200.’’ Franklin Miles gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath.He was dressed in his gray pants and white shirt, delivery uniform as he walked into Golden Gate Hotel, looking for the suite where he had to deliver the food.He checked his pocket for the suite's number, he felt the ring in his left pocket and took it out. He looked at the ring with a mix of feelings, gently touching it as it sparkled in the light.He smiled, thinking about the romantic moment he planned with his girlfriend, Daisy Bernard. This ring was his engagement ring, and he was going to propose to Daisy after work today.He carefully put the ring back in his pocket and took out the card with the suite number written on it.Franklin knocked on the door, which opened to reveal a man in his early thirties."Hello, Sir," Franklin said, with a polite smile. "Your delivery is here.""Oh, excellent!" the man replied, his eyes twinkling. "But why don't you come inside? I have something I'd like to show you.
Daisy chuckled, "Regret? What's there to regret? I've got nothing to lose. Don't act like you're something special, Franklin. I know who you are, just a poor delivery guy! Now get out of here!" She taunted."This is why I said it'd be fun," Richmond laughed, "A naive poor guy thinks a pretty girl would stick with him for life." He jeered, "But he'd never know the good time I had with his girl while he was off delivering food, thinking she'd marry him. Your food's good, but your girl tastes better."Daisy playfully slapped Richmond's shoulder, "You're terrible!" Her voice sounded timid, but her actions spoke otherwise as she hugged him from behind.Richmond remarked, "I heard you've never slept with Daisy. Too bad bro, you'll never know how good she is in bed."Franklin felt his fists clench again and his teeth grit as irritation flooded him."Thinking of fighting him, delivery boy? Just leave. You'd be in trouble if you touched him. He's rich, you're poor, that's the difference!" Dais
The next morning, Franklin was roused from his sleep by the shrill sound of his alarm clock. It was time to start the day. But before he could get out of bed, he had to turn off that blasted alarm!Finally, he managed to silence the alarm and sat up in bed. As he stretched and yawned, he looked out the window and took in the morning view.It was a new day and there was much to be done. He had to go to his father's company to sign some papers and documents after which he would be introduced as the new CEO right away.He showered and went to his wardrobe, only to realize he had no other clothes besides his delivery uniform. "Oh well, I'm used to wearing this anyway," he smirked.He drove his delivery scooter to the Miles' Empire. The Miles Empire building was a towering structure, standing 130 stories tall and stretching high into the sky.Franklin parked his scooter in the company's parking lot where he saw lots of people walking around and going about their business in different attir
Franklin pushed the door open and was surprised to find Mr. Russell, the acting CEO, waiting for him in the office. He had been expecting Franklin's arrival.Walking inside, Franklin closed the door behind him and looked around with satisfaction. The office was furnished just the way he liked it – simple yet elegant.Mr. Russell noticed the pleased expression on Franklin's face and smiled, saying, “This is the document, please sign in your signature."Nodding in agreement, Franklin accepted the documents handed to him by Mr. Russell. Sitting down, he carefully read through each line before confidently signing them with a smirk."Congratulations, young master. You're now the CEO of Miles Empire," Mr. Russell congratulated him."Thank you," Franklin replied gratefully.Reflecting on his previous attempts to convince Franklin to take over the company, Mr. Russell felt relieved that Franklin had finally agreed.He immediately sent an email to the management team, introducing Franklin as t
Ms. Deborah had hurried to get back to the scene but stopped to check her phone, which had just beeped, indicating a message. It was an email informing her about the new CEO's arrival with a short description of, and the photo of Franklin Miles attached to it.Ms. Deborah clicked it open, and it showed his picture in full. Her heart sank when she saw his picture. He must be the delivery guy the junior staff were talking about. "This is worse than I thought," she said, realizing the severity of the situation. She needed to stop them from causing any further problems.The junior staff turned to tell Ms. Deborah that he was the man they were looking for. "Miss! look, it's the delivery guy we were telling you about.""Yeah, it's him, the delivery guy causing all the fuss."Instead, they met what seemed to be the shock of their life. It was Ms. Deborah with a phone in her hand, showing them the picture of the person Reina had just slapped.Reina walked closer to be sure she was not dreamin
