It was already 7pm, Javier was getting ready to go to the company party he had to attend today. Plus tomorrow he has to have dinner with the CEO of the company to discuss the partnership between his company and theirs. Javier looked at his cell phone and didn't hear from Blaire, even though it was almost an hour ago that Javier replied to his wife's message."Where the hell is Blaire? It's so strange that he didn't reply to my message so quickly." Javier talked to himself as he wondered about his wife's attitude which he considered uncharacteristic because Blaire always replied to his messages quickly even when he was busy, so Javier was a little confused."I'm getting worried about him.""Or maybe mom made him do something at home?" Javier finally messaged Blaire again to tell his wife that."If mom is making you do too much work around the house, you should go home. I'll order a cab for you and make sure it's okay to be home alone," Javier wrote and sent it to Blaire. Javier thought
"There are too many people here, if I wasn't a company leader, I would definitely choose not to come to events like this," Javier muttered as he picked up a glass of wine and drank it. He was aware of the stares of the people around him, especially the women. All those stares made him uncomfortable, they seemed ready to pounce on him."If Blaire had come along, they probably wouldn't have looked at me like that. They would have thought I was a single guy." Javier was eager to show his wedding ring to Blaire as the women stared at him, how could he not feel uncomfortable or disgusted if they were staring at him while waving their hands or biting their lower lips? It was obvious that they were trying to flirt with Javier."They're flirting with me openly," Javier complained now that Jay beside him could hear what his boss was saying. He looked around and Javier's words were true, almost all the women were staring at Javier."Can't I go outside to get some fresh air?" asked Javier even t
"Oh Chloe, why are you here?" asked Chris when he saw his only daughter, Chloe Smith, coming. Chris Smith only has one daughter who will also be his successor later and inherit all the Smith Family property. Usually a son is the heir to the family, but since Chris only has one daughter, Chloe must be the heir."Are your friends here yet? I'm chatting right now..." Chris continued, he felt bad for Javier who was talking seriously with him and suddenly his daughter had to come interrupt their conversation which was quite confidential because it was about Javier's identity.But Chloe didn't listen to her father, she continued to stare at Javier with a big smile, she was curious about Javier's identity since earlier especially because Javier attracted people's attention because of his good looks. Chloe wanted to know him and if she could have him, because she was an only child, Chloe always felt that she should get everything she wanted. It's also because Chris spoils her so much. "Oh I
"Really? He's a deputy director?" Chloe replied, the expression on her face becoming more excited. She thought Javier's title was company leader but a vice president wasn't a bad title either, but judging by his appearance Javier was more suited to be a company leader. However, it wasn't something that Chloe minded. She was happy with Javier's position and she thought it was still equal to Chloe's position as a director in her father's company."You must be a great vice president," Chloe complimented Javier with a faint smile."Maybe my boss thinks so, but I guess I'm doing a pretty good job since I can come to your company party on behalf of the company," Javier said trying to return her compliment politely even though he was already reluctant to respond. He was uncomfortable and didn't like the way Chloe was looking at him."Right! Your boss must think so too," Chloe retorted. She said it while laughing, it seemed forced but she felt she had to laugh at whatever Javier said if she w
"Why are you sitting here alone? Is the party boring?" Chloe asked as Javier didn't respond to her words and just sipped his drink while staring in the other direction. He was uncomfortable around Chloe but he couldn't tell her to leave him alone either."No, the party was fun," Javier replied briefly without looking at Chloe who had changed her expression to one of sadness because Javier was being cold to her. She could already tell that getting Javier wasn't going to be easy, and she liked that! She liked guys who were hard to get because usually other guys were very approachable to Chloe and Chloe knew that they were using her."Then why are you sitting here alone and not mingling with the other guests? Don't you know anyone here?" Chloe didn't give up, she kept asking questions to get Javier to continue talking to her and stop being so cold. And it looks like she had to try a little harder because Javier just shook his head."I don't know anyone," Javier replied again. But despite
"Hello, Blaire! Oh my God, where have you been? I've been looking for you but you didn't text me back!" Javier said when he picked up Blaire's phone. He sighed as if his burden and worries from earlier disappeared in an instant."Are you okay? Or did mom tell you to do something?" Javier asked again peppering his wife with questions."Calm down, Jav. Speak slowly," warned Blaire finally opening her voice as Javier continued to talk and bombard her with questions."I'm fine and I'm sorry that I just checked your messages. I guess you haven't texted me back because you've been missing since this afternoon too." Blaire finally answered all of Javier's questions."And no, mom didn't tell me to do anything but..." Blaire was about to say that her mom told her to have dinner with Andrew but she decided against it. She was somehow afraid that Javier would be angry if he found out that Blaire had dinner with Andrew. Plus now Blaire was still at the restaurant and hadn't gone home yet."But wh
"Blaire, you’re back!” When Blaire stepped back to the table, Andrew was waiting for her. He looked like he had just finished his meal and smiled broadly when Blaire returned. But he was actually a little annoyed that Blaire had been in the bathroom for so long."Are you okay?" Andrew asked again. He asked because he wanted to know why Blaire had been in the bathroom for so long. He felt like Blaire was deliberately lingering there to avoid him and make their dinner time even shorter, which annoyed Andrew. "Yeah, I'm fine," Blaire replied briefly. She sat back down in front of Andrew and ate her dinner and quickly finished it because she wanted to get home."Are you sure? Or is your stomach upset because you were in the bathroom for so long?" As she chewed her food, Blaire shook her head, trying to stop making Andrew stop because she was fine. But actually Andrew wasn't worried about her, he was just curious about what Blaire was doing in the bathroom if it wasn't because she had a
Hearing that Blaire came to trust Andrew a little, the man seemed to smile at her waiting for Blaire to tell him her worries. Blaire sighed, she thought she had to tell him something she was worried about to ease her burden. She hoped Andrew would calm her down and tell her it was nothing."Blaire...""Yeah, I'm actually worried about something. I don't know if it's just my bad thoughts or what, but I'm afraid Javier is doing something bad over there," Blaire interrupted Andrew and Andrew was happy that Blaire finally explained what she was feeling. He sat back and nodded his head in understanding, he was trying to understand Blaire's feelings when in fact he didn't care at all, he was just doing this to carry out his new plan.Blaire sighed again, who knows how many times she sighed while playing with the food she ordered earlier which was almost finished."Javier must be having a great time at the party but here I am worrying about him," Blaire continued."Wait, Blaire. Can I ask yo
