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

“This is unacceptable!” said Brenda as soon as they entered the meeting room. They had just been from the restaurant where they talked with Crisanta Blue. Floyd sat down on the chair and put his elbow on the table. He was trying to control himself as he kept on thinking about what had just happened. He felt unfair because Crisanta judged him and made her decision outside of it. Without even hearing his side. Western rushed into the room as soon as he saw them enter. “What happened? Will she direct it?” Brenda slammed her hands on the table. “She will not do it and it was because of you, Floyd!” Floyd raised his head. “What?” “You shouldn’t have come with me. It should be Western!” “Why is that? There’s nothing wrong. It’s my job to go there.” “If only you did not do it to Roxane Sandoval!” Jude looked hard at Brenda. He was standing by the side of Floyd only. “Hey! Watch your mouth!” Brenda looked at him. “And you! Why did you attack Kevin? You are both a disgrace to this com
The Secret Life of Him 25. My son
Floyd was walking only as he was getting near Miguel’s school. He can’t stop thinking about what just happened. But in the end, Floyd thought that they were really like that. That some people were just too easy to judge without even knowing who was the person in front of them. Floyd stopped in front of the school. He could say that it was really a nice school. It looked prominent and he couldn't afford it if they were still together. But Miguel was a smart child. He never heard him asking about their situations. He became his charm whenever he felt like it was too much to handle anymore. Miguel was his medicine. There were no guards in front of the big gate. It was made of long steel. That’s why he could still see what was inside. Floyd went near and took a peak. He saw that there were kids in the small playground at the side. ‘Why is no one guarding here?’ he thought. There were still no guards even when he tried to push the gate. The guard house, which was only on the right side
The Secret Life of Him 26. Who are you?
Floyd looked confusedly at the man outside of his cell. He was a stranger to him because he had never met him before. He was sure that this man did not come from his family. He hasn’t called anyone about what happened to him now. He just woke up!“I said, move! This is unacceptable!” repeated the attorney. Roxane raised an eyebrow. She walked out of the cell and faced the attorney. “Who are you again?” “I am Attorney Gabriel Mercado. And I want my client to be out of this cell now!” Gabriel demanded. “Attorney? How can Floyd get an attorney? He has nothing!” Gabriel smirked. “Every human being– or even animal has a right to get an attorney, Miss Sandoval.” “Huh! Not him. No one will let Floyd out of this prison!” Roxane said. “Sure. You can do that.” Gabriel looked at Roxane’s attorney. “Could you please explain to your client what will happen if she demands my client to be inside innocently?” The attorney of Roxane looked away. He knew very well that it was incorrect because i
The Secret Life of Him 27. Unknown Caller
It did not take a long time and Floyd was sent out of the prison. Though, he was still confused about Gabriel. He did not say any words even until they reached a coffee shop. They were sitting in front of the table, facing each other. But Gabriel was not saying anything either and was just looking at his phone. As if I was texting with someone. Floyd cleared his throat and sipped from the cup of coffee that Gabriel ordered for him. He silently scanned Gabriel. He has this blonde hair that he thinks was natural. He also thought that their age was not that far from each other. Gabriel has the nice build of a man that every woman would love. He also has an undeniable charisma. “If I didn’t know who you were, I might think you liked me, Mister Cruz,” Gabriel raised his head and looked at Floyd with a smirk on his lips. Floyd immediately looked away and fixed his seat. “I… So, you know me? How? We are already here but you are still not explaining anything.” “Don’t worry. I assure you t
The Secret Life of Him 28. The new movie director
Floyd and Gabriel parted ways after they talked. Gabriel left a business card for Floyd if ever he agreed on helping them. Floyd thought that it was ridiculous and amazing at the same thing. He thought he was the only one who had a grudge against Dwayne and Roxane. It was really shocking that someone was mad at him. Dwayne was like an angel sent from the skies. He had helped the poor that much already. He had scholars. There was no scandal about him. He was really a perfect man to everyone. But not with Floyd. “Master! What happened to you?” Jude exclaimed when he saw Floyd entering the mansion. “Lira! Ready the first aid kit!” “I’m okay, Jude. Nothing to worry about.” “No! Let’s go to your room, master.” Jude put Floyd’s arm on his shoulder and guided him to his room. Floyd felt heaven when his body finally lay on the soft bed. It was soothing for him, especially now that his body was still aching. He felt everything when he was suddenly woken up by the taxi driver he was in. Ju

123: Connection
“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

120. A warning
“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

118. Deal
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
