The Secret Life of Him 68. The Consultant
The bidding day happened. Dwayne's company set-up a secret meeting inside their company. Since they only have three investors who will bid for the stocks. First one, Mister Suarez. He was also a businessman. He liked to invest in companies. That was how he got rich. Because he doesn’t only invest in ordinary companies.The second one was Madam Ching. The president's wife. She was a businesswoman too. And knowing that she was interested in the Jacinto network. They already knew what she was after. Then there was Johnson Floyd Lim, the son of the wealthiest man in the world. Dwayne was interested in him because he already had the JL network. Why would Lim want his company? Do they want to finally claim the Crotia? Build their empire here too? Dwayne will never know until he meets him. Yes, he was hoping to finally meet him. Johnson Floyd Lim never showed himself to anyone. “Is everything ready?” Dwayne asked Ben. They were already walking down the hallway to the meeting room. “Yes, s

Roxane kept on walking back and forth inside her office. She was waiting for the time to pass as she would finally meet Floyd to save her. But she felt like her heart would burst out because of the nervousness she was feeling. Dwayne was also expecting her to go to the meeting room. She won't go there anymore because it was the only time that she could get away from Dwayne. She smiled when she saw from her wristwatch that it was the bidding time already. Roxane went to her door and opened it. She saw her bodyguard standing just in front of her door. “Hey. You can have a break for now. I'll just go to Dwayne's meeting.”“I will send you there, madam.”“No! It's okay. You can come back here later.” The guard sighed and nodded. He had also meant to ask Roxane if he could get out. His wife had just called him and his daughter was in the hospital. So he agreed even though he knew that his boss wouldn't like it. The company was sealed and Roxane wouldn’t get away if she did. He’ll just b

The bidding continued. Ben explained what the investor would get if they successfully bid for the shares. The investor will have the same rights as the board members. He or she also had the right to tell his opinion to the board. He would have the right to decide too, as he was the second-largest shareholder in the company. That was why Dwayne had to choose the right investor for his company. Someone who will not dare to take everything from him. Someone not like Johnson Floyd Lim. “Three-fifty here,” Madam Ching said. Dwayne looked at her and nodded. They started their bidding at three hundred million dollars. And it was Madam Ching who immediately announced their bid. “Three hundred and fifty million dollars for Madam Ching. Anyone who wants to–” “Four hundred,” Mister Suarez cut Ben. “Four hundred million dollars for Mister Suarez.” Dwayne looked at Minerva. “How about you, Miss Wang? Aren’t you bidding for your boss?” Minerva smiled and looked at Dwayne. “Of course, I am.” S

“It's nice doing business with you, Mister Jacinto. Mister Lim would be delighted for sure.” Minerva shook hands with Dwayne. “I hope we forget our past differences now because we are already partners?”Dwayne chuckled. “Sure. I don't want any hard feelings with my business partners.” “Is it the same with me?” Aby asked. Dwayne looked at Aby. “Of course,” he said bitterly. If it was not for Mister Lim, he wouldn't want to talk with her ex-wife. He knew what she was after. “Good.”“I must say, we should go now, Mister Jacinto. We still need to report this to Mister Lim.”“Sure. But I hope the next time we have a meeting. Mister Lim himself will show up. I am looking forward to meeting my new investor.”“Sure,” Minerva smiled. After the meeting with Dwayne, Minvera and Aby went out of the building. They had smiles on their faces as they were walking out. “I knew we could get those shares,” Aby said proudly. “You should behave yourself sometimes, Miss Chua. Or you will be a headach
The Secret Life of Him 72. Don't leave
Roxane woke up to find that she was already in a room. The bed was soft and she felt like she was lying in the clouds. She still couldn’t believe what she had just learned. Floyd, the man she left because he had nothing. The man that she swore she would never get back with. Was it the reason that Floyd successfully left the prison? She grunted and sat down. She felt like she was betrayed suddenly. The door opened and Belinda entered the room. “Roxane. You are awake. How are you?” Roxane scoffed and laid back again. “I don’t know if I am okay, mother. Why didn't you tell us about it?” Belinda put the tea on the side table. Then she sat down on the bed. “Why? Are you really that surprised that Floyd was not the man you really know? That he was not the man you left like trash?” Roxane’s eyebrows knitted. She sat down again and looked hard at Belinda. “I know what I did! But you lied to us!” “To us? You are not my son’s partner anymore. Why would you think I lied to you?” “I’m still

“What did you tell Miguel? I thought you were leaving!” Floyd asked. He was inside his office now with Roxane. “Huh? I didn’t tell him anything!” “Then why is Miguel saying that?!” Roxane gasped and glared at Floyd. “Don’t you ever raise your voice at me! Who do you think you are?!” she raised her voice. But she immediately realized what she had done. She gulped and averted her gaze. Floyd was not just an ordinary man either. And more importantly, she needed his help. “I-I’m sorry.” Floyd smirked and shook his head. “Fine. You can stay here for a while. But you will leave after a week.” “What? But what if Miguel didn’t want me to leave!” Floyd pointed his finger at Roxane. “I don’t care! And don’t think you are caring for him! I know what you are planning, Roxane. You are here only because of Miguel. And you will leave this house after I talk with Miguel!” Roxane clenched her fists. She wanted to shout at Floyd. To say hurtful words to him like she always does. But she co
The Secret Life of Him 74. With Her
Floyd allowed Roxane to stay for a week at the mansion. He thinks that it was enough for Miguel to understand their situation. He gave Roxane a room and took her things. Floyd even brought a plane ticket for her. “You really wanted me to leave, huh?” Roxane said while looking at the ticket. “You don't need to be here, Roxane. Plus, you don't want Dwayne to see you again, right?”Roxane's turned sour. “Fine. Don't worry. I will explain everything to Miguel.”“You should. Because I really want you out of our lives, Roxane. Remember that you are here only because of him.”Roxane felt a sting in her chest. “Did I really hurt you that much? That's why you're like this now?” “This is not about me, Roxane. It’s about our son and what’s good for him.” “Fine! I’m sorry! I’m a fool that I left you! But can you blame me, Floyd? You had nothing back then! We are so poor that you can’t even provide for us!” Floyd frowned at Roxane. “I can provide, Roxane. It was just not enough for you. I am
The Secret Life of Him 75. Nothing is free
Floyd woke up with his head aching. He grunted in pain as he touched his head. He remembered that he was at Minerva’s place. But when he slightly opened his eyes, he was already in his room. Floyd frowned and closed his eyes again. ‘How did I go home?’“You’re awake! Finally.” Floyd opened his eyes again when he heard a voice. He looked around and saw Roxane standing on the side of his bed. Her arms were crossed and her eyebrows were knitted. She was looking at him like he had done something wrong. “Roxane? What are you doing in my room?” he asked in his hoarse voice. He coughed a little when he felt his throat was dry. Roxane rolled her eyes. “Do you even know how you got home last night? My gosh, Floyd! And why are you with that girl? Really? What were you thinking?!” Floyd did not answer Roxane. He massaged his forehead. “Jude!” he called in a faint voice. He coughs again. “He’s not there, Floyd.” “Where is he?” “I don’t know. Some men came and Jude rushed out. I came here
