"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
"Of course I know him," Javier replied a little nervously."You've made a lot of friends with other employees, huh? Even with the new CEO's secretary," Blaire said. She didn't expect her husband to get along so easily with his coworkers, even though Javier usually didn't hang out with many people. Javier and Blaire had been friends since childhood and Javier even had Blaire as his only friend. Javier was smart enough to focus on his studies rather than other people."They're very friendly to me, that's why I easily make friends with them, especially Jay." Blaire just nodded his head when he heard what Javier said."It's already 9 o'clock and I'm still hungry," Blaire complained, making Javier feel guilty for asking his wife to leave first."We haven't even finished our food yet, too bad." Javier looked around and there were no restaurants open, he couldn't take Blaire to another restaurant."Do you want to find another restaurant before you go home?" Javier asked still looking around
"Blaire, did you get the text message from the Ford Group?" asked Javier as he put on his shirt and walked into the kitchen. His wife was busy making breakfast for Javier and shook her head when she heard his question."No, what is it?" Blaire asked back. Javier had just gotten a text message from Jay earlier saying that the company wanted to meet Blaire and Andrew Joseph today to talk about their big contract offer and the benefits it would bring to both companies."You'd better check now before it's too late, is it half past 8 in the morning? I heard there will be news for the chosen candidate," Javier said as he sat down at the dining table after putting on his tie, he started eating Blaire's pancakes."Oh my god, that's right! I haven't even checked my phone since yesterday because I was too busy." Blaire quickly ran to her room and grabbed her cell phone and soon returned."Let's hurry, you have to have breakfast too." Javier told Blaire to join him for breakfast but his wife was
It was already 10 a.m. Blaire had arrived at Ford Group after being picked up by her mother. Anne was happy because it was her first time in the biggest company in the country and this was the only company she had ever had a hard time working with. But now she could get in and luckily she had prepared a very good plan that would be very beneficial to both parties."This meeting will make you successful, Blaire. Not only you but the company too!" her mother squealed with delight."What do you mean, mom?" asked Blaire. But her mom didn't answer and was busy looking around. She gaped in amazement because the Ford Group's corporate building was so big, it was twice as big as her family's company."If we succeed, maybe you can make a company building this big," her mom said again. Blaire felt a little happy that her mother seemed pleased with her selection as the winning candidate for this contract bid. It was different from yesterday."Are you sure I'm going to make it, Mom?" Blaire asked
"Yes, she's still here. But you can't see her," Anne said, surprising Javier. Of course, he was immediately angry because his mother-in-law suddenly wouldn't let him meet his own wife. Although Blaire was her daughter, they had no right to forbid Blaire and Javier from meeting."What do you mean, mom? Why can't I see her?" asked Javier, not understanding and Anne casually shrugged her shoulders as she continued to look at Javier sarcastically."You should realize the reason why I won't let you meet Blaire. I knew from the beginning that I shouldn't have allowed you two to get married, you're a sneaky guy who only took advantage of Blaire coming from a rich family and now that Blaire is willing to live in poverty with you, you're looking for another woman from another rich family, right?" Javier couldn't understand what Anne was talking about. He didn't think he had made a mistake and now suddenly Anne was saying something about Javier looking for another rich family woman."Wait... I
Later that night, Javier went to the airport after getting ready at the hotel. His flight time was at 10pm and he would arrive at 12pm in his city. Of course he did all this for Blaire's sake, he knew that something had happened to his wife because until now Blaire hadn't returned his messages and that made Javier even more worried."Sir, do I need to send someone to go to the Watsons' house and check on her?" Jay asked when they had just taken their seats on the plane. It was because Javier looked very worried and Jay felt that he had to calm his boss down."No, there's no need," Javier replied with a sigh. He couldn't possibly agree to what Jay had said earlier because it would be very risky. The Watsons would be suspicious of him and there was no way he would have anyone come check on Blaire in the middle of the night like this.Jay finally just nodded his head and sat on the chair next to Javier. "When I arrive, I'll go straight to the Watsons' house. Is it okay if I take your car
"The food at this restaurant is really good! Maybe that's why my dad asked you to have a meeting here," Chloe said as she cut into her steak and ate it with gusto. She intended to catch Javier's attention and talk to him after their meeting was over, she was so happy that she could finally have dinner alone with Javier. But, unfortunately Javier didn't seem to care. He was just busy with his food and seemed to be daydreaming."Did you like the food too, sir?" asked Chloe, suddenly realizing that Javier wasn't answering her at all. She looked up and saw that he was just daydreaming. The happy expression on her face instantly changed, she rolled her eyes in annoyance that Javier wasn't paying attention to her at all."He must be thinking about his pathetic wife, why would he call her at a time like this?" Chloe grumbled. Even though this is her chance to get close to Javier, Javier's wife makes Javier's mood bad and Chloe's plan must fail."Sir," Chloe called again until Javier finally
"Blaire, it's me. I'm sorry that my cell phone died, are you okay?" Javier asked as he picked up the phone from Blaire. On the other end of the line, Blaire froze when she heard Javier's voice. She suddenly felt guilty for making Javier talk to her when he was busy at work."Blaire," Javier called again because Blaire didn't answer his question. "Are you there? I know you're not okay that's why you called Mr. Jay, right?""Don't lie to me, something must have happened to you, right? I'm going home now then." Javier intended to end his meeting with Chloe and look for a flight right now."No, don't just leave your job, Jav. I-I'm totally fine," Blaire replied immediately in reply to Javier's words because she was afraid that Javier was really going home just because something happened to Blaire.Javier sighed, he knew that Blaire was lying just because he didn't want Javier to go home early and leave his job. "Blaire, don't lie.""I'm not lying, I just wanted to tell you that I'm kind o
Blaire grabbed her cell phone and called Javier about what happened between him and the woman in the photo. However, it turned out that his cell phone was off. Javier seemed to be so busy that Blaire couldn't reach him. She was getting sad and crying, she was very angry with Javier but she was afraid that her anger was just a misunderstanding. Blaire kept trying to call Javier but his cell phone remained inactive.Frustrated, Blaire looked for Jay's number and was forced to call him even though she felt reluctant. Because only Jay could help her talk to Javier.On the other hand, Javier is still talking to Chloe. Although he doesn't like her, Chloe is doing a great job. And Jay, who was standing in the corner of the room, suddenly felt that the cell phone in his pants pocket was vibrating. Jay quickly picked it up and frowned when he saw an unfamiliar number."Who is this? I don't think I've given my number to anyone lately," Jay muttered to himself. The number was quite confidential
"What's wrong, Mr. Andrew?" Now Bella also got up from her seat and walked over to Andrew who was already sitting next to Blaire who was still confused. Anne and Bella were curious to see what Andrew would show Blaire. And Andrew immediately opened the message Ben had sent and checked the photo. He had sent Ben the money after forcing his father to give him the money and stop blocking his credit card at midnight and finally his father gave in."Look, I got that picture from my friend who went to the Smith's company party!" Andrew said pretending to be shocked in front of Blaire even though he was very happy to see the picture Ben sent him. He thought his plan wouldn't go his way but he was wrong, he actually got what he wanted and his plan went smoothly."Oh my God! That's really Javier. He looks different there," Bella replied gaping in surprise, but she also felt there was something different about Javier's appearance. He didn't look like an ordinary employee."Why would an ordinary
"Hello, Mr. Javier," Chloe greeted him with a big smile that did not make Javier happy to see her at all. Ever since their meeting, Javier had never wanted to see Chloe again, whether by chance or by design. But now he had to go back to see her again."Hello, Miss Chloe. Come sit down." However, even though he didn't like her, Javier still had to greet her in a friendly manner. Because it looked like Chloe was going to replace Chris at this meeting."Have you been waiting for me for long? I'm sorry there was a lot of traffic on the way because it's dinner time," Chloe explained, smiling at Javier and feeling confident because she had dressed up very beautifully before leaving here. She really hopes that Javier will fall in love with her, and Chloe doesn't care about Javier's married status."No, I just came too," Javier replied. Seeing Chloe already walking towards the dining table, Jay immediately pulled out a chair for Chloe and Chloe immediately sat there. Chloe had expected Javier
"Dad, you must be lying! I know you're saying this because you don't want me to get close to her, right?" Chloe tried to be denial and didn't believe her father's words. But when she saw the expression on her father's face, Chris didn't seem to be joking and the look in his eyes also seemed serious."Dad...""I'm serious, Chloe. I've known Mr. Javier since he first started working and he already has a wife," Chris explained again leaving Chloe gaping in shock. She sat down and was still trying to process the shocking news her father had given her."Therefore, stop approaching him. I don't want you to make the relationship between the companies awkward because of this. Do you understand Chloe?" Chris continued but Chloe was still silent and didn't speak at all."I'm going to go to the room now, so you get some rest too," her father told her but again Chloe grabbed her father's arm again and shook her head vigorously."I still want to replace you tomorrow, dad," Chloe said, making Chris
"Chloe hurry up and go back to your friends, they've been waiting for you," her father said again as Javier walked away with Jay behind him."I need to get back to chatting with the other guests too.""Dad, wait!" Chris was just about to walk away but his daughter grabbed his arm and didn't let him go. Chloe had changed her expression and was looking at Chris with an expectant look that Chris knew his daughter wanted. Chris rolled his eyes in annoyance that Chloe had caused him enough trouble tonight."What is it again, Chloe? Can't you just not bother me tonight? You already bothered Mr. Javier and embarrassed me," her father complained but Chloe pouted and put on a resentful expression because her father didn't want to listen to her request first. "Dad! I haven't even said what I want yet, but you're already scolding me!" Chloe exclaimed in annoyance."Then tell me later, I have to go now." Chris released Chloe's grip on his hand with some force."Dad!" called Chloe again she trie
