The Secret Life of Him 16. New Father
After Floyd talked with his mother, he went out and kept walking on the side streets. It’s still early but the sun is not hot anymore. The car that sent Floyd to his mother’s house is slowly following him not too far from his back. Jude can’t leave his young master. “What should I do now?” Floyd asked himself. He is lost again. He thought when he learned the truth from his mother he would be okay. But he is wrong. His mother has resentment towards his father. But his father has been true to her mother since then. Though he can’t do anything because he is young. ‘I should do something for them at least.’“Young master!” Jude called for Floyd. He got out of the car and followed him. “We should go back to the mansion now before it becomes dark.” Floyd stops walking and looks at Jude. “Jude. Can I call you Jude?” “Yes, young mast– sir.” “What would you do if you were in my position?” “What do you mean by that, sir?” “A few days ago, I was a nobody. My girlfriend left me for a man wh
The Secret Life of Him 17. JL Network
Floyd went back to the mansion. He decided to accept his father’s offer. He might not know anything about managing a company but he will try. The next day, Jude accompanied him to a hospital where they will do the DNA test. Floyd was still nervous and hesitant, but Johnson affirmed that he was indeed his son. “Don’t worry, my son. This DNA test is not necessary. You will be my heir if you accept my offer. I will need to step down soon, Floyd. I will need you,” Johnson said to Floyd. They were in the car already. “Are you really sure about this? What if I fail?” “You have my blood, Floyd. You will not. I will ask Minerva to check your papers so I can register you to our family.” “But I’ve talked with my mother. She is mad at you. She will not like it if I accept you as my father.” Johnson stopped and looked outside. He remembers Belinda when they were younger. He couldn’t stop thinking now how was she? How does she look now? And of course, he understood why Belinda was furious
The Secret Life of Him 18. The Party
“You did a great job, Minerva! You exceeded my expectations!” Floyd said while they were at his office on the JL network. His office is on the top floor of the building and no one was allowed to enter it except for Minerva, Floyd, and Jude. Minerva raised her wine glass which was full of red wine. “Thank you, young master. It’s because you trusted me. I owe it all to you.” “Truly, young master. You are a great master to us,” Jude seconds. Floyd smiled. “No. Don’t thank me. It is me that should be thanking both of you. This will not be possible if it’s not because of you.” He rested his back on the chair. “Now… What should we do next?” Minerva and Jude look at each other. Minerva got an idea. “We haven’t had an opening party. Should we have one?” “That’s a wonderful idea.” Floyd smirks. “We should do that,” he agreed while thinking about Roxane and Dwayne. He was thinking of inviting them. “You ask someone to start the preparations. I want all the tv personalities on every station
The Secret Life of Him 19. Confrontation
“R-Roxane?” Floyd was taken aback when he saw Roxane glaring at him. He looked around. They were at the receiving area only. There are some reporters at the entrance not far away from them. The hotel staff who were checking the guest was just on his left. They are looking at them. “Why are you here, huh?! Are you planning on ruining me again?!” Roxane said while glaring at Floyd. She even pointed her finger at him. Floyd gulped and took a deep breath. He tried to control his emotion even though he was surprised that Roxane saw him. He tried to hide as much as possible! “Roxane. I am an employee on the JL network that’s why I’m here. There’s nothing wrong with that.” Roxane sniggered. “Huh?! Employee? Who would hire a criminal like you?!” Floyd heard a gasping sound on his side. He knew that it was the staff. He tried to stay calm even though he already felt hot. “Watch what you are saying, Roxane. I am not a criminal! You sent me there so that–” Floyd stopped what he was about t
The Secret Life of Him 20. Friends
Dwayne and Roxane couldn’t believe what just happened at the party. They couldn’t accept that Minerva Wang favored Floyd, a criminal, and a nobody. But Dwayne promised he would not let this man and that the JL network stay still. They were at the top now and he would never accept that they'd be under again. On the other hand, Floyd was still over the moon as he kept on thinking about Minerva’s move. He never saw any woman like her. He learned that she knew some martial arts for self-defense, and she had boxing when she had free time. Floyd then asked Jude to enroll him in a martial arts class. But to his surprise, Jude knew it too and was a black belter. So, he asked him to be his master. On the JL network, Floyd worked there as an executive producer. Minerva told him that it was much better than being a segment writer. At least in that position, Roxane wouldn’t dare to humiliate him. He had his small office on the sixteenth floor. But no other employee knew about his true identity
The Secret Life of Him 21. She used him
“Roxane!” Floyd stood up and looked at Roxane in surprise. She was standing at the end of the sofa wearing her stunning red dress. Floyd couldn’t help but be amazed at her. Roxane was really a stunning woman. Every man would want her, but he was not like that anymore. He despised the woman he loved once. “What are you doing here?” Roxane smirked and looked at Floyd. “I was here to check up on my ex. Only to see this snake visiting him too.” She looked at Raquel. Raquel frowned at Roxane. She couldn’t believe that she still had the guts to come here. And she looked like she didn't like that she was there either. Raquel found a bit of confidence seeing that Floyd was looking at Roxane disgusted too. She stood up and looked at Roxane. “Snake? Then what are you? Using men just to get luxury for herself?” Roxane's eyes narrowed. “How dare you?!” she shouted. Causing some employees to look at their side. She was about to attack Raquel but Floyd stopped her. “Stop it, Roxane!” Floyd tou
The Secret Life of Him 22. Unfathomed Feelings
“Are you okay?” Raquel asked Floyd worriedly. She saw Roxane rushing out of the building looking irritated. She was worried but happy at the same time. It looked like Roxane did not like what they had just talked about. Floyd forced a smile. “Yes. I’m sorry if I kept you waiting.” Raquel sighed. “You should’ve let me talk with her.” He shook his head. “No. It’s okay. She came for me. Plus, I don’t want to bother you anymore. I heard what she did to you last time.” Raquel was silenced. She was still furious whenever she remembered what Roxane had done to her. Roxane humiliated her! She still hasn’t retaliated against her! But she sighed and smiled. “But you are okay now, huh? Is it really done between you and Roxane?” Floyd looked at Raquel in surprise. He looked away thinking about them. There was no more chance between him and Roxane. She thinks that he was still the same man who lived with her for almost ten years. A nobody who could not give her anything. Also, after their ar
The Secret Life of Him 23. Miss Crisanta Blue
Floyd became busier in his company. There was an upcoming movie film festival and they were getting ready for it. They were also starting some series and started their TV shows. He continued working as the executive producer. Having this position, he can check everything, especially the movies they will make in their network. “Now, we just found a director,” said Brenda. The gay producer they just hired. “Why don’t we hire Miss Crisanta Blue?” Western said. “Crisanta Blue? The renowned director?” Sheila asked. Western nodded. “It will be a great honor to us. Especially since we are just starting. And also, a lot of personalities wanted to work for the branch of the best TV network in the world.”Floyd was still quiet. He was studying their suggestions. It was all good and would help the company. He also knew Crisanta Blue. He remembered her creating movies for Dwayne’s network. And it all came out as a good movie and got awards. But Crisanta was a picky director. She just does not

“Where have you been?” Floyd stopped entering his room when he saw Aby inside. “Aby. You didn’t tell me you’re coming home.” Aby smiled. She put down the magazine she was reading to the table. Then she stood up and went to Floyd. She was about to kiss him on the cheeks when she smelled the alcohol he drinks. “Are you drunk?” Floyd shook his head. He closed the door and smiled at Aby. “Yeah… A bit. Danica brought me to a club and Nelson was there too. I can’t say no to him. You know…” “O… kay? I understand. Come on.” Aby helped Floyd to sit on the couch. “Let me prepare tea for you.” “No need, Aby.” Floyd grunted. “Sit with me.” Aby sighed. She sat beside Floyd. “How’s your company? Is it okay now?” Aby nodded. “Yeah. Actually, I wanted to say thanks again, that's why I’m here.” “It’s okay, Aby. I already told you.” “I know. But I think it’s still not enough. You can ask me a favor. Anything! I will do it.” Floyd chuckled. “Be careful what you wished for, Aby.” “Huh?” Aby f

122. The Club
“He was just appointed, and he is already wasting money!” Carlo exclaimed. “He just invested at his wife’s company! We should do something about this, Father!”Arnel grunted. “I know. We’ve been ignoring the Chua’s proposal. And yet he even bought a stock for his wife?”“Tsk! I know that woman is just after our money!” Carla said.“But what can we do? He is now the chairman. He could do everything he wanted.” Crude took a sip from his glass.“You are not helping, Crude.” Carla glared at her brother. Crude just shrugged about it.“No… this should end now!”The siblings smiled as they saw the determination on their father’s face. They will never accept Floyd as their new master. They will take company no matter what.~~~“Is everything here?” Amethyst asked their head maid.“Yes, madam.”“Okay. I want everything to be perfect, okay?”“As you wish, Madam. You can trust us.”Amethyst smiled and let the head maid go. That was the time when Floyd went down from his room. He looked around an

121. His help
Floyd woke up early to go back to his office. But even before he left, he received a call from his secretary.“Young master, your wife needs you.”Floyd looked at Johnson while fixing his necktie. “What happened?”“His Uncle is causing a scene in their company. Also, Leah told me to check your email. It’s done already.”Floyd sighed and stopped what he was doing. “I knew this would happen.” He shook his head. “Do I have any important meetings right now?”“Ahm, you have—”“Cancel it. Let’s go visit my wife.”Floyd finished fixing himself. He hurried out of the mansion and got into a car. Maybe that's why Aby can't tell him directly about his problem. Because it's embarrassing. But Floyd owes Aby a lot. And as they agreed he will help him. Not because she is his wife on paper, but because she is also his best friend.Before entering the building, he saw people holding placards in front of Chua's building.“What is happening here?”“I think they are protesting, sir. I’ve heard that the C

“So, how’s the new chairman?”Floyd stopped staring at the documents when he heard a voice. He looked at the door and saw Aby approaching her.“Aby! Sit down!” he said gracefully. He put the papers down and hugged Aby. “How are you?”“Good. Just a bit stressed out.”“That’s too early?”Aby sighed. She sat down at the chair near Floyd’s table. Floyd then sat back in his chair and stared at Aby.“I know, this is too sudden. And you just got appointed. But I need your help now.”“What kind of help?”Aby looked away. She didn’t want to do this but she had to. Her uncle was already pressuring her family. She didn’t want them to want her family to lose their business.“I need your family to invest in us.”Floyd frowned a bit. Aby didn’t tell him anything about investing in their company. He sighed and interlocked his fingers.“I-I know this is sudden. But—” Aby sighed. “Okay. I’ll be honest with you. Our family is not in a good situation now. We might lose our business if you won’t help me.

119. The new Chairman
The next day, Floyd went to Lim’s company. Everyone was preparing for the board meeting. The family will be present and all of their business partners. Everyone was waiting to meet the next chairman. Words had passed so fast.“I will announce to everyone now that you will be the chairman of the company,” Johnson said. The three of them were in his office, getting ready to go to the company. “For sure, there would be some board members who would not agree. But I have already made sure of your position. You need to be strong now, Floyd. I believe in you.”Floyd took a deep breath. “I don’t know, Father. I’m nervous.”“That’s okay, brother. It’s normal. But we are here for you. We will guide you and make sure that you are in that position,” Johan answered.“Yes. As long as your brother handles our security company. No one will dare touch you. I trust you with it, Johan.”“Of course, Father.”Floyd nodded. He fisted her arms and took a deep breath again. He couldn’t explain how nervous he

Their night continued. Johnson rested early because he suddenly felt that he was tired. Amethyst helped him to his room. The rest except for Arnel Lim’s family stayed in the dining area. They were drinking wine. The kids were dancing and playing. Others remained to talk about business-related matters.“Mom, do I really need to be married to Floyd again?” Aby asked her mother. They were on the other side of the room. She had been thinking about the marriage they’d talked about earlier. She agreed to it, but she was worried about Floyd.“Why? Is there something you wanted to tell me, Abigail?”Aby’s eyes widened a bit. “Ahh, no. Of course, none. I’m just worried. You saw what happened earlier, right?”“It’s normal. You have the same uncle as your husband. What we need to do is to ensure our family's position in this clan. Being with them will make us prosper more. Since you are back here, you will work at our company again.”“Huh? But I need to go back to Croatia soon.”“What will you

117. The new master
The room was filled with silence. The music had stopped and no one dared to make another sound. Even the kids were looking in Johnson’s direction, wanting to hear what his announcement was.“I have finally decided to retire now. I’m old and I need to pay more attention to my health. I am now appointing my son, Johnson Floyd Lim, to be the next master of this family and chairman of our business. I trust him to make our businesses grow more, and I am hoping that you will all support him in everything. I will also continue helping him while I’m still here.”The room was filled with more silence. They all had mixed emotions about learning that the family would have a new master. Arnel’s eyes narrowed and he tightened his fists. He looked away and tried to control himself. They all expected that Johnson would appoint him. But not this fast.Amethyst smiled. She stood up with her husband. Their children followed them and faced Floyd.“My family is glad and willing to serve you, Johnson Floy

116. Dinner time
“Do we really have to do this? We’re just having dinner?” Floyd asked. He had just finished showering when he learned Jude was inside his room already. He was with some maids that were preparing a tuxedo for him.“Yes, young master. This is how it should be. So, if you may?”Jude pointed to the chair in front of the mirror. Floyd was surprised that there was a mirror and a reclining chair already. His room in this mansion was bigger than his room at his mansion. It was like another house inside a house. Floyd sat down in the chair. Jude immediately put a cloth on his body as his cover. It was tied to his neck but was not hurting him. He watched him put out a small box, and he was more surprised when he saw that it was a shaving tool.“You know I don’t have any hair on my face, right?”Jude continued preparing. “You have, young master.”Floyd sighed. He was still not used to his new life. He thought having a mansion back to his home was already extreme. He didn’t realize this place was

“Nothing to worry about now. You just need to rest a lot more and wait for your bruises to heal,” said Johnson's personal doctor. He was called immediately by Johan to check on Floyd.“Thank you, doctor.”“It’s nice meeting you, young master.” The doctor bowed. “I will go to your father now.”Floyd nodded. He got up from bed and wore his clothes. He was in his room in the mansion because Johnson asked him to rest again after their brief meeting. Floyd was still confused about what his father had said earlier. Everything won’t be easy for him. But he didn’t want this, right?Floyd looked at the door when he heard a knock. It opened and Aby came in.“Floyd, we need—” Aby’s eyes widened when he saw Floyd was half naked. She immediately turned around. “I-I’m sorry! I didn’t know that you were changing.”“It’s okay.” Floyd took his new polo shirt and wore it. “Okay now.”Aby took a deep breath and turned around again. “Ahm. I just want to check on you. How are you?” she asked. She never go
