“Hey! Hey! Slow down and stop handling me like this. I don't even care about you anymore. You can go ahead and do whatever you want to do with your life and your company. It's none of my business, and that's final. Can you please leave my collar alone?" Austin responded to him while struggling to release himself from his grip.“Fine!" he scoffed, reteaching back to his seat to reflect on all that had happened today.“I'll be at my office in case you need my help on anything.” He dashed out of Marco's office.“Phew! Finally, I can have a fresh breath of life and not some loopholes loitering around to monitor my next moves.” Marco spoke to himself as he watched Austin shut the door behind him.He grabbed the magazine that was on his table to check the track records of his company and other companies, and he found out that Ethan's company is still ranking at number one and his own company drops to number 12.“Could it be that Ethan is responsible for how companies are graded, knowing fully w
“I'd rather allow it to pass than raise the topic all over again." Austin responded as he grabbed the magazine he brought earlier with him and stood up from the seat.“Gosh! This is what I hate so much, and you know that I hate things like this. Why did you give me a tip about what you have in mind, knowing fully well that you won't spill it out? Why? ”“I'm so sorry about that, sir. I didn't even think about what I thought before it came out of my mouth. It was not intentional, sir."He clapped his hands together while laughing in a sarcastic tone. "I see. Indeed, it wasn't intentional at all. I can see that you have a whole lot of family issues on your head, and that made you not think before you talk."Austin kept standing at the front desk of Marco's office with his head bent down, patiently waiting for Marco to tell him to get out.“It's actually pointless talking to you, Austin. Since you came into this office, I haven't been able to pick one significant thing that you've said. You k
“Use your head for once, Mara. Do I really have to be the one to tell you everything? Can't you think of an excuse to make that'll be suitable for me? Gosh! ” He spoke to me with a fierce voice, not minding how his words were piercing through my heart.“I'm so sorry about that, sir. I'll think of something meaningful to say." She assured him as she took a step backwards from him.“You better be sorry for yourself and not for me. "Are there any questions left to be asked before I step out?" He asked her while he adjusted his suit properly.“There is nothing left to be asked, sir. If at all I need clarity on anything while you are away, I'll definitely hit you up in your DM." She responded to him calmly with her sweet, melancholic voice.“Whatever! If that's the case, then I'll see you tomorrow."Marco hissed and stepped out of his company, walking straight up to his car. He hopped into his car and started it, but before he could move the car, he saw a car that looked just like Bella had pas
“Yes! You pronounced the name correctly. Mr. Ethan is the CEO of Greyport, and he is my boss.” Naomi answered her.Bella burst out with uncontrollable laughter the moment she heard everything that Naomi said to her. She laughed so hard that she almost found herself on the floor, but Naomi held her hands and stopped her from falling.Naomi was confused about what was going on right in front of her from the way Bella laughed.“Are you sure about what you just said? Are you sure that's your boss or that you're mistaken for someone else?" Bella questioned her once again."Ma'am, I don't know who you are, but this is the last time I'll tell you that Mr. Ethan is the man who just walked out of that entrance door, and yes, he is my boss. Is there a problem with that?" Naomi gave her a straight look, waiting for her to say something.“Not at all, dear. It’s fine, and I'm deeply sorry for the way I reacted and the way I behaved. Thank you for the information, Naomi."“You're welcome, ma'am. Isn't i
“Please don't pull that stunt here at all. I read the letter you wrote to Marco on the night of his birthday celebration, and I know that you are the one behind that letter.” She said this to him as she pulled her hands off his wrist.“Bella, I know that you don't like me at all, and I totally understand, but I won't tolerate the fact that you accuse me of something that I have no idea about. I didn't write any letter to your boyfriend, nor do I know the letter that you are talking about." He spoke to her as he tried to hide his feelings of guilt.He knows that convincing Bella to believe him would be a very difficult task for him to do, but he doesn't mind going the extra length for her to believe his words."Ethan, the deed has already been done, but that doesn't mean that if you trespass again, I won't put you in the right place. I think I'm done with the business that brought me here.” She hissed at him with a disdainful look while she unlocked the seat belt that was crossed around h
“Are you asking me that kind of question?” Debbie asked her because she wasn't expecting Naomi, who was just new to the company, to be asking her that kind of question.“Yes! I thought we were both talking about the same thing, so why can't I ask you that question?"Deby chuckled out loud as her gaze was fully fixed on Naomi. “Ma'am questionnaire, how about you ask Mr. Ethan how he was able to build his company tomorrow? I'm sure he'll be glad to have you interview him."Naomi gave a deep sigh before responding to her. “Phew! I don't know why you joke about a lot of things, even though I'm saying something meaningful. I'm only trying my best to know my boss well."Deby packed all her bags and was about to leave the office room, but she took a pause and turned backwards to respond to Naomi, “The earlier you stop digging up more questions or asking people around you more questions about Mr. Ethan, the better for you. That’s the only advice I have for you. I'll talk to you tomorrow; for now,
“I should be the one asking you that question, Bella. What has gotten into you? What the hell is wrong with you?" He stood up from the couch and pointed his fingers at me.Bella became so pissed off by the time she saw him stand up from the couch. She knew that something was wrong somewhere.“Nothing is wrong with me, Marco. I think you are the one who has something to deal with. You really need to do a thorough check on you and stop transferring aggression to me." She poured out her aggression back at him.“Oh! I'm the one who has a problem now, right? Are you okay at all? What have you been smoking, Bella?" He fired back at her.With the way their voices were rising from one point to another, one could tell that the matter had become so intense. Marco was really pissed off with Bella, not because she came back home later but because he had no idea where she went from the on-set.“Smoking? You've been the one smoking, not me. Babe, what is bothering you? You can talk to me if you need som
“What’s the problem with you, Marco? Why the sudden cough?’ Her hands were placed on his chin.“Get me water, babe. I need water urgently.” He begged for water with his hands wrapped around his mouth as he gasped for air.Bella hurriedly stood in speed and rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a glass cup, and filled it up with water before returning to the sitting room and handing it over to Marco.He collected the glass of water from her hand and drank everything within a blink of an eye. Bella still placed her hands around his chin and looked into his eyes, trying to find an answer within those innocent eyes of him.“Babe, Did I say anything wrong at all? What’s the reason behind the cough? This is basically the first time I’ve seen you cough this hard before. You can talk to me if you need someone to talk to. You know that I’m always right here for you to listen to all your pain and worries.” Her mind was calculating everything that could be going on in Marco’s mind.He cleared his throat a
