Everyone went to the living room, where they all sat on the sofa and turned on the television. Only Blaire and Javier stood behind them, and Blaire kept hugging Javier because he was afraid of the outcome of the announcement."I can already guess the results," Bella said suddenly as she glared at Blaire and Javier."Right, I know it too," Anne replied with a sigh, still visibly upset. "But who will win the bid? Is it possible... Joseph Group? They are also eyeing the contract from Ford Group, right?" Now Bobby spoke and everyone there nodded their heads in agreement with Bobby's words."That's right, it's likely that Joseph Group will get it. We should have submitted the name of the company too, instead of letting one person submit their own bid," said Bastian, deliberately insinuating Blaire who looked increasingly gloomy. Javier could only smile silently at the Watsons' conversation.Suddenly, a man Javier now recognized appeared on the television screen. Jay, his secretary was al
Everyone was shocked, including Anne, she had made a deal with Javier and thought this was impossible, she was so sure of it. Until the announcement was made and Blaire was one of the candidates."This is absolutely crazy! How can Blaire be chosen?" Bella shouted, all of her family were in shock with the announcement and couldn't believe it."Blaire, did you do something? Or do you know the new CEO?" asked Bastian and Blaire shook her head vigorously."I-I don't know, dad. I don't know the new CEO of Ford Group, I haven't even worked since two years ago," Blaire replied, excited but also nervous. She knew that her family was surprised and not too happy about this."Or do you know someone from there?" Now Anne asked and Blaire shook her head again."I don't know anyone..." Blaire remembered the man next to her and immediately looked at Javier."I only know Javier who works there," Blaire continued speaking."Jav, did you know about this? Do you know why they chose me to be one of the c
They arrived home and Blaire said that she would prepare dinner for the two of them. Javier, who had just finished showering, came out of their room and went to the kitchen to help his wife. Javier stopped walking when he saw Blaire busy humming and smiling, his wife looked very happy."She's probably very happy with the election results, it's been a long time since I've seen her like this," Javier muttered with a smile. He was happy to see his happy wife."But she must still feel sad that her family isn't happy about it." Javier thought for a while, he continued to stare at Blaire who seemed to be washing the vegetables he was going to cook. Until suddenly an idea popped into his brain, he had to do something to make his wife happier and forget his sadness about the Watsons' reaction."I haven't given Blaire anything after becoming a CEO either." Javier walked away and went back to his room. He picked up his cell phone and called Jay."Hello, good evening sir," Jay said as he picked
"Jav?" called Blaire again as her husband remained silent and didn't answer her question at all."Jav!" When he didn't answer, Blaire touched Javier's hand and Javier woke up from his reverie."You weren't listening to me?" asked Blaire but Javier immediately nodded his head."I am listening to you, Blaire. And I understand why you asked that question, you must be very curious." Javier finally spoke after preparing an answer to Blaire's question."You're not hiding anything from me, are you?" Blaire began to get suspicious, because Javier's demeanor wasn't what it usually was. Javier seemed more secretive, he never even told Blaire about his work. Blaire was afraid that Javier was hiding something that would make Blaire disappointed in him.Javier saw the expression on Blaire's face and knew what his wife was thinking, he sat down next to Blaire and reached out his hand to touch her cheek."I'm not hiding anything from you, Blaire. I just know something about this bid selection." Blai
"Come on, ladies and gentlemen, let me show you where the room is." The waiter walked ahead of Blaire and Javier, and they both ended up following him to the second floor of the restaurant. There were more people on the second floor, but it turned out that the VIP room was on the balcony of the restaurant that could look directly at the city view and feel the cool night air.Blaire gaped again at how beautiful their table was, plus it was just the two of them, although the other guests could still see them through the glass and whispered about the two of them sitting in the VIP spot."This is your table," the waiter said, inviting Blaire and Javier to sit down."Thank you very much." They finally sat down and looked at the menu book that the waiter had given them."You can call me when you're done choosing." Javier nodded his head and let the waiter go, after the waiter left, Blaire let out a small cry when he saw their menu."This is crazy, Jav! The food here is really expensive, I c
"Alice, why are you talking to my husband like that?" asked Blaire, she told Javier to calm down but she couldn't accept her husband being demeaned like that. Alice turned back to Blaire and smiled."Blaire! I'm kidding, you know how I like to joke around with people. We've been friends for so long you know me!" Alice hugged Blaire's arm and Blaire could only force a smile."Right, forgive her, Jav. Alice does like to joke around," Blaire said clumsily and Javier just nodded his head with a smile."But you guys are really great and lucky to be seated at this table, I really wanted to sit here but always failed to get a reservation.""Really? I didn't know getting a table was that hard," Blaire replied. The table here is indeed beautiful, it's very cool and they can avoid the noise inside the restaurant, all they can hear is the sound of the night breeze and they can have an intimate conversation without the interference of others. Unfortunately Blaire and Javier had to be interrupted
"Javier doesn't let me stay at home either, he lets me go out a lot," Blaire interrupted them. Their laughter instantly stopped and they just nodded their heads, agreeing with Blaire's words without asking many questions and they were also not interested in Blaire and Javier's life which they thought must be very boring as poor people."But Blaire you're a little fatter, huh? Is it because you stay at home?" asked one of her female friends."No, she's pregnant." An annoyed Javier answered Blaire's friend's question. They kept trying to insult Blaire, even though they hadn't seen each other in a long time."Pregnant? Oh my God, Blaire are you really pregnant?" Everyone was shocked, but there was no happiness in their eyes. Instead, they seemed to pity Blaire for getting pregnant by a poor man like Javier."Why didn't you postpone it?" Blaire just smiled as she stroked her slightly enlarged belly."Why keep putting it off? We've been married for two years, it's about time we had a baby,
"Are you sure that's your card? It's not stolen, right?" one of Blaire's friends asked again. Even though they had paid for all their meals, they still looked down on Javier."Stolen?" Javier laughed at the accusation."I don't come from a rich family like you but I would never think of stealing other people's things," Javier said firmly."Or is that Blaire's card? Blaire, why did you let your husband use your card to pay all of us?" They now asked Blaire who immediately shook her head vigorously."That card is not mine...""To be honest with us, you're ashamed that you've been paying for the whole time you've been married to him, right? That's too bad for you. I've given you advice not to marry him, but you're so stubborn and keep thinking about that worthless love.""Love can't buy you anything you want." They continued to throw comments at Javier and Blaire."They're so shameless," Javier snorted to himself. He was desperate to prove to them and shut them up that he wasn't as poor
