"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
"Right, I'm Blaire. I didn't know you knew me." Blaire awkwardly greeted the man back. She had never even met him in school, but now Andrew was addressing her as if he knew her and that made Blaire a little awkward."Of course I know you," Andrew replied with a chuckle as if Blaire had told him a joke."You should be happy that Andrew knows you!" her mom squealed, she was so happy to see that Andrew knew Blaire. Blaire just nodded her head and tried to get away from Andrew and her mom. Anne was seen approaching Andrew and they had a nice conversation, her mother's friendly attitude towards Andrew, exactly the same as how her mother was friendly towards Albert and Blaire started to feel uncomfortable. "Mrs. Blaire and Mr. Andrew, you can go to the 5th floor. There's a meeting room and you can go in there," said the receptionist who had just finished calling someone."Blaire, I'll wait for you here," her mother said but Blaire immediately shook her head."No need, mom. This will proba
Right at lunchtime, the meeting was over. Blaire understood everything Jay said, as well as all the things she needed to prepare. Even though she was pregnant, but doing all this didn't make her tired at all, she felt happy because this was everything she wanted for a long time."Thanks for coming, I'll call you back later," Jay said as he cleared the files he was carrying and got up from his seat."Can't we meet your CEO in person?" Andrew asked suddenly. Blaire also had a feeling about the new CEO of the company, but she understood that they had a reason for hiding the identity of their new CEO."Isn't it inappropriate, welcoming guests but with only the secretary?" Andrew continued and Jay just smiled politely."Forgive us if you feel this is rude, but our CEO is busy and hasn't had time to meet you in person. Maybe when one of you is selected, you can meet him," Jay replied but Andrew snorted mockingly."This is absolutely ridiculous. Is he hiding his physique because he's embarra
It turned out that Anne was really still waiting for Blaire, she sat on a chair in the lobby and immediately got up when she saw Blaire, Javier, and Andrew arrive."Are you guys done?" she asked as she walked up to them. But she quickly pushed Javier away from Blaire, seemingly unintentionally but Javier knew she was doing it on purpose. In the end, Javier could only stand behind Blaire and let his mother-in-law stand next to his wife."How was the meeting?" Anne asked again very kindly, especially to Andrew."The meeting went well," Blaire replied. But her mother seemed unconcerned with her answer and continued to stare at Andrew."What about you, Andrew?" Since Andrew didn't answer, Anne put her question to Andrew directly."The meeting was fun! That's because I was there with Blaire," Andrew replied. Javier snorted at that, the man was so shameless, he even seduced Blaire in front of his own husband."He must be crazy. Or he's after something from Blaire or the Watsons," Javier mut
"Jav! Come sit here," Blaire called as she pulled out the chair next to her and Javier was already walking towards her. But suddenly Anne had pulled Andrew away and let him sit next to Blaire."You should sit there. The chair here is more comfortable, and Javier you can sit next to me." Javier was silent for a while, he really felt that he couldn't continue to tolerate Anne's attitude."Mom, but I want to sit next to Javier," Blaire said."Ah really? I'm sorry. Mr. Javier, you can sit here." Andrew was about to stand up but of course Anne stopped him. Andrew also happily sat back down next to Blaire and glanced at Javier with a smile, and that smile was quite annoying for Javier. It was like the man was showing off to him."Blaire, let Javier sit next to me! I haven't sat next to Javier in a long time." Anne again pretended to be nice to Javier, and her excuse finally made Blaire let Javier sit next to his mother. She was happy that Anne was willing to sit next to Javier, and thought
"What do you mean by talking like that?" asked Andrew, now that the friendly expression on his face was gone. He looked at Javier sharply."Didn't the news about it spread?" Instead of answering Javier asked back and acted as if he wasn't the only one who knew. Even though he heard the news after Jay found out about it. It also made Javier know why Andrew was after Blaire, he wanted to be with her because she would most likely become the leader of the company after getting the contract."Spread? That... that's just a rumor," Andrew replied while drinking a glass of water and looking worried. Javier smiled and grinned, after insulting him earlier, now Javier could see his weak point."And you shouldn't talk about something that's just a rumor like that. Isn't that rude?" Andrew now looked angry at Javier."I'm sorry. But I heard that from...""Stop it! Why are you talking about it again?" Unconsciously, Andrew shouted while pounding on the table in front of him making all the guests lo
"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
