"Are you the Emily from the live life broadcasting room?" questioned the unknown man in a gentle tone, Emily attempting to free her arm from Harry's grasp."Yes, that's me!" she retorted with a glare. "Now, let go of my arm."Under Mr. Chan's commanding gaze, Harry complied and released her. Emily glared fiercely between the two men, while Mr. Chan let out a heavy sigh.Emily massaged her wrist, her gaze fixed on the stranger."Look...." Mr Chan began to say."No! You look! I've made up my mind. I'll do whatever you want – I'll sign the contract with Mr. Chan's company or anything else. Just promise to stay away from me and my friends," she reluctantly uttered. Realizing her vulnerability against these individuals, she had no option but to comply with their demands.Mr. Chan, recalling Frank Cole's threat, manages a small, nervous smile at Emily."Emily, there seems to be a misunderstanding here," he stammers. "I'm Mr. Chan. We've been in touch through the broadcasting room."Emily st
Emily observed the woman with confusion as she approached Caleb. Her eyes traveled up and down, trying to make sense of the situation. The puzzling sight of a well-dressed woman, stepping out of a Mercedes Benz, walking excitedly towards Caleb and addressing him as "Mr. King," left Emily baffled.Emily wondered about the connection between Caleb and the approaching woman. As she observed the scene, she couldn't fathom how Caleb knew someone like her. Her gaze shifted to Caleb, who appeared more nervous than happy to see the woman, deepening her confusion.Emily scrutinized the woman from head to toe, taking note of her expensive attire and accessories. The woman's clothes seemed to cost more than Caleb's monthly rent, and Emily couldn't help but wonder how a guy like Caleb, who struggled financially, could be acquainted with someone so affluent.Caleb swiftly called out, "I'm coming!" with a nod and a small smile, walking toward the approaching woman,trying to keep her away from Emi
"Why is she here?" Caleb mumbled to himself, captivated by her growing beauty. She wore a white dress, sneakers, and her golden hair flowed in the wind, leaving him breathless."Sophia..." he mumbled under his breath.Miss Roberts, noticing Caleb's entranced state, followed his gaze and frowned at the sight.She looked at Caleb, who remained rooted to the spot, captivated and unresponsive, as if he had been caught in a spell the moment his gaze fell upon the girl."Mr. King, do you know that girl ?" Miss Roberts interjected, her voice infused with a hint of irritation.Caleb, momentarily entranced by Sophia's beauty, turned his attention back to Miss Roberts. She couldn't deny that the girl had an undeniable charm, and a surge of jealousy coursed through her as she tried to regain Caleb's focus."Mr King....Caleb sighed, his patience wearing thin as he glanced back at the woman standing too close to him."Miss Roberts, go wait for me in the sales department office. I'll join you sho
Sophia cast a quick glance at her phone, releasing a hushed curse under her breath. If it weren't for Charlie, she might have expressed her unfiltered thoughts about her mother and stepfather."Is everything alright?" Caleb asked gently, noticing the frustration on her face.She sighed as she stared back."Everything okay?" Caleb asked, noting the frustration on her face.Sophia forced a smile. "Yeah, everything's fine."Caleb observed her closely, sensing something was amiss. "So, are you here to buy a new house?" he inquired, his smile lingering.Sophia sighed and nodded. "Yes, actually my mom and her husband are looking for a new house. His office recently moved, and they want a place closer to his workplace.""Got it," Caleb replied, but a thoughtful expression lingered on his face.After a few moments of silence, Sophia finally spoke up. "Caleb, what brings you here? Did you get a part-time job?" she inquired, scanning him from head to toe.Knowing Caleb's modest background and h
Observing Caleb from head to toe, one of the women leaned towards her colleague and whispered, "Miss Roberts mentioned she was bringing in a filthy rich client today to buy a villa... could that be him?"The other woman, engrossed in the spectacle Miss Roberts was creating, bit the top of her pen and shook her head. "I highly doubt it. He doesn't give off a wealthy vibe. I mean, just look at his clothes. Does he seem like a man who can afford even the keychain to those villas? He looks more like a college student.""Hmmmm....." the first woman replied, looking at him from head to toe."But why is Miss Roberts acting like he's some sort of Prince Charming... she's practically drooling over him.""I don't know," the second saleswoman replied."He must be somebody important; otherwise, Miss Roberts wouldn't give him the time of day based on his clothes. Her attitude suggests he's definitely someone of importance."The hushed whispers continued, and the two saleswomen near where Miss Robe
Miss Mathews was taken aback. She hadn't expected Miss Roberts to introduce a man who appeared financially poor, making her doubt his capacity to afford a villa. If not for Miss Roberts' unusual behavior, she wouldn't have considered him a potential buyer for a moment."Mr. King, I've found the staff member who assisted your friend. Feel free to inquire about anything you need." Miss Roberts said in a very respectable way.Caleb shifted his gaze toward the woman standing before them and rose from the sofa.With the best smile she could muster, Miss Mathews approached Caleb, looking him over with subtle curiosity."My colleague mentioned that you wanted to see me?" she inquired, her eyes lingering on him.Caleb responded with gratitude, "Yes, thank you for taking the time to come and see me. Actually, a little while ago, you assisted a friend of mine, Sophia. She was wearing a white dress, beautiful long blonde hair, blue eyes," he said in a dreamy tone. Miss Roberts bit her lip, tryin
As Miss Mathews meticulously prepared the contract, her thoughts drifted to the typical clients she dealt with. They would usually select a villa, pay an initial deposit, and then complete the full payment after a few days. However, in Caleb's case, she observed a stark difference. He displayed no interest in paying any deposit, and it appeared he intended to settle the entire amount in one go.This realization prompted Miss Mathews to issue assertive directives to her staff, ensuring the contract's accuracy and smooth processing. She aimed to eliminate any room for complaints from Caleb, recognizing the significance of this unique opportunity.Everything had to be done Professionally and perfectly.The shift in attitude toward Caleb was evident among the other salesgirls. They eagerly offered him tea and biscuits, attempting casual conversations in the hope of capturing his attention.Despite their attempts, each girl received a stern glare from Miss Roberts, a clear signal for them
Miss Mathews' behavior towards Caleb had taken a drastic turn. The respect she showered on him half an hour ago had transformed into suspicion. Her gaze shifted to Miss Roberts, who seemed to be watching Caleb with pity in her eyes. In that moment, Miss Mathews questioned if Caleb was perhaps an actor hired by Miss Roberts to play a prank on her.She couldn't shake the suspicion that it might all be an act. Maybe he didn't even know Miss Sophia. Everything seemed dubious, especially considering Miss Roberts was the one who had called her away from the office to meet this supposedly wealthy client, eager to buy a house on the spot, all because of some girl he may or may not have known.She was definitely being pranked by Miss Roberts.Had it not been for Miss Roberts' remarks, she wouldn't have entertained the idea that the man before her could afford a house worth 1.75 million dollars. Her narrowed eyes were aimed at Miss Roberts, ready to voice her skepticism."Why assume I wasn't
