Not only Elara was surprised, but the entire room, especially the two security guards, were as well. If this happened, those two men were the luckiest ones.Elara was the most beautiful woman at GMI Bank. Her body enticed every man who laid eyes on her. Even seeing her in office attire was enough to make their mouths water, let alone without clothes.“You were the one who told me to take off my clothes earlier. Now, I’ll turn the tables on you. Come on, strip. Or do you think you’re not even the slightest bit guilty?” Christian said, nonchalantly, as if instructing someone to eat.Elara deeply regretted what she had said to Christian earlier. She didn’t expect that Christian would seek revenge on her like this.For a woman, a punishment like this was the most severe. Being completely exposed in front of a man who wasn’t her husband was a severe blow to her self-esteem and psyche.But the other option, leaving her 3-year-old child behind, was clearly not an option for Elara.“Mr. Chris
“I’ll pay De Delta Company’s debt on behalf of Yvette!” Christian confidently declared.Everyone in the room fell momentarily silent, taken aback by Christian’s words. However, Orion burst into laughter, followed by Alaric. Even Marigold, who rarely laughed, joined in this time.“Oh, Christian, you’re incredibly funny, thank you for entertaining me when I’m feeling dizzy,” Orion said.Then the man turned towards Yve and said, “Your husband is perfect for a comedian. Just sign him up at a comedy club. It seems more positive than him having to do the dishes and cleaning at home.”Yve felt increasingly pressured by Christian’s presence. Right now, she was trying to save her marriage from the voices urging her to divorce. But here was Christian, showing off.“Look, Yve! Is that the man you chose as your husband? Someone who loves to brag and daydream. All his life, he’s relied on his wife, and now he dares to say he can pay off the company’s debt!” Marigold exclaimed in frustration.This
Yve’s common sense strongly rejected the name Christian. And then her thoughts led to Declan. Only that man, she believed, could afford to buy this exquisite gift. Moreover, the diamond necklace tragedy a few days ago involved only the three of them.“Declan, this is too expensive!” Yve muttered while gazing at the incredibly beautiful necklace.Then she said to Dorota, “Well, you can go back to your room.”The first thing Dorota did was search for Christian’s contact number. The issue about the necklace needed to be clarified to prevent any misunderstandings.After searching everywhere, she decided to ask a security guard who had been seen close to Christian for his contact number.“Mrs. Dorota, what’s going on, looking for Mr. Christian’s number? Or is it something else...?”“Don’t assume things!” Dorota snapped. “Hurry, where’s his number? Yve asked me to get it!”Upon hearing the name being mentioned, the security guard promptly provided Christian’s number.Dorota then immediately
Camila was momentarily stunned by the aura emanating from Christian’s body. However, anger had surged within her. “That’s right, isn’t it? You scoundrel!”“I will prove it. Soon, I will make you all kneel before me. Come on, Mother, let’s get out of here. There’s no point in staying!” Christian said, immediately taking over Mrs. Anika’s wheelchair and pushing her away.With anger already consuming him, Christian chose to leave.“Good, you leave! I’m sick of seeing you here!” Camila said, smiling maliciously.Declan, who had remained silent to maintain his image in front of Yve and Camila, smiled widely. He felt like he had won without uttering a word.Yve was the one most tormented by this situation. She could only be a helpless spectator.She knew very well that what her mother was doing was wrong. But no matter what, her mother was still her mother. She couldn’t oppose her.Anika held Christian’s hand and caressed it as she said, “My child, you should apologize to your mother-in-law
When Christian arrived in front of the De Delta company building, it turned out that Yve had just arrived. She had just finished submitting an investment application to several other companies in person.Christian immediately approached Yve, who was walking leisurely into the company building.“Yve!” Christian called out.Yve turned and immediately smiled broadly. For some reason, she could be so cheerful, perhaps the longing for Christian had filled her heart for more than a week.“Christian? What brings you here?” Yve asked.“I happened to pass by. And I thought of stopping by for a moment,” Christian replied.Yve nodded, her smile continuously expanding on her face.“How is Mrs. Pannti doing? Has she improved?”“She’s getting better, but she still needs a lot of rest.”“Thank goodness for that. Please give my regards to Mrs. Pannti. I’ll visit her when I have some free time,” Yve said.Christian smiled and nodded.Then, silence fell. Both of them seemed hesitant to speak. Christian
Yve pressed Christian’s contact number and called him.After three rings, she disconnected the call. She hesitated about her actions and thought that what was happening right now might not be Christian’s act but, as Orion had said, a delay in withdrawal.She then went straight into the bathroom to freshen up.For the past three days, Yve had put all her energy and focus into preparing a proposal to become the official distributor of Pommes Frites snacks in New York.She was even willing to sacrifice sleep and skip meals to create an excellent proposal to win the project for De Delta Company.Three days had passed. This afternoon, CrispCrafter Ltd. Company held a meeting with the companies that had passed the initial selection phase in their representative office in New York.Yve arrived alone, carrying the proposal she had prepared. When she reached the lobby, she met Declan, who had arrived earlier.At first, Yve didn’t want to greet him and pretended not to see Declan. She felt lazy
The entire room erupted into a frenzy. Everyone was shocked by the selection of De Delta as the chosen company.Yve was equally taken aback. At first, she doubted if she had misheard. But after hearing a few protests from others, she realized that her company had indeed won the tender. She immediately started jumping for joy.It had never crossed her mind that she would win this tender. She had worked hard to create a good proposal in the hopes of gaining some appreciation for her company. However, the recognition exceeded her expectations.With this won tender, she could resolve some of the financial issues. Major banks would no longer underestimate or look down upon De Delta when they sought loans. This mega project was the most promising guarantee of the year.But she had to hide her happiness when she noticed the displeased looks from representatives and company owners who couldn’t accept De Delta as the tender winner.“This is unacceptable. De Delta is nothing more than a small c
“You’d better go back to your useless in-law habitat! Working outside will only add to your problems,” Declan continued.Christian turned to the security personnel waiting for orders to act.“You, drag this scoundrel out of here. Just toss him out!” Christian exclaimed.Declan wasn’t afraid; he laughed heartily upon hearing Christian ordering the security personnel to expel him, as if he were a boss.“You’re acting like a boss now. Lowly employees can boss around other employees? Since when?” Declan asked, with a condescending smile.“Since now!” Dorota said as she walked from behind Declan.Declan was surprised to hear the project assistant manager defending Christian.“At this moment, Mr. Christian is part of our team. So, having an issue with Mr. Christian is the same as having an issue with us. I kindly ask you to leave, or I will instruct security to escort you out,” Dorota said with charisma.Christian had made a wise choice in selecting Dorota as his personal assistant. She was
