Granny glanced at her children and couldn't find a single ounce of hope on their faces. They all looked weary and tired of living.Mr. Huge was still around with his men, waiting for the remaining $3 million.'Why can't Huge just spare the $3 million? After all, he has made more than enough money from the cars he took,' Granny thought.But to Mr. Huge, they had already made an agreement and it must be fulfilled. It should have been easy for him to take his eyes off the balance, but his company only runs a business, they don't run a charity."Will you be pleased if I take action myself?" Mr. Huge frowned. The Wendy family's hesitation had been so irritating since he arrived. He expected them to improve, but they just kept growing more annoying."Pardon us for whatever mess we have caused you today." Granny pleaded, "I will be back in a few minutes." She turned to leave."I don't have the whole day." Huge's facial expression didn't change.Mrs. Elena squinted her eyes in confusion. 'Whe
The next day, Jessica was seen at Isaac Gregg's office. They had been in conversation for a while before Isaac raised a matter."How do you think we can make our next VVIP customer's dinner party more lovely this time?"Jessica remained silent; it was obvious she was trying to think of something helpful to say."Actually, all the previous ones we did were absolutely beautiful, but I just want this one to be even better than usual. As you know, The Cicada hotel today is bigger than it was yesterday." Isaac had a little smile on his face as he ended the statement.The annual VVIP dinner party is just around the corner, and Isaac has already begun making the necessary arrangements. Jessica has been one of his favorite staff members because she has helped the hotel grow bigger with her warm approach towards every customer.With her pleasant attitude, they usually attract 10 to 15 VVIP customers weekly. That's indeed a big win for Cicada hotel.As a result, their monthly revenue keeps swel
"I have some information for you, sir.""Oh, okay. I'm listening." David's voice was loud and clear at the other end of the phone."Actually, we have an annual dinner party specially for all our VVIP customers. We host the party as a form of gratitude from us to all of you. As a special customer that you are, we would be so glad to have you there on that day, sir," Jessica explained."Oh, that would be nice. I love meeting new people too, so I think I'm interested in it.""We can't wait to have you there, sir." Her lips curved slightly with a smile."My pleasure. Cicada Hotel serves me the best meal in the whole city so I'm down for it."Jessica felt flattered hearing that. Isaac also had a happy look upon hearing it too. The phone was on speaker so he could hear the conversation."We will never cease to stop serving you with the most tasteful meal, sir. We appreciate you for being our top VVIP customer and also accepting our little form of gratitude.""Never mind, Jessica. You are su
Jessica arrived home from her workplace. She was looking quite worried and tired. Her mood had swung to something unexplainable to herself since she left Mr. Isaac's office today. The mood was a mix of sadness, frustration, and confusion.The discussion they had about David had brought the image of the young man back to her mind. For a while now, she had been trying to get rid of his image. If not for anything else, at least she had discovered that he already had a partner.The problem was not just the image in her head, but there were also thoughts about the attractive man that had been lingering in her heart for some time.Sitting on a couch in her living room, she was unaware that she had left her present world behind as she had dived into another world in a faraway planet, lost in deep thought.'What's wrong with you, Jessy?' she questioned her mind.After questioning herself, she began to reply.'I never thought that the love of a man could bring these mixed emotions back after b
After a while in the city, a jaw-dropping article was published. The article was about the Wendy family.What have the Wendy family done for their family name to be published in an article?There has been a lot of buzz about the family since the article broke the internet.The article reads,"THE WENDY FAMILY IS THE MOST CRUEL FAMILY IN GLOVER CITY.An article was posted sometime ago about David Anderson, the son-in-law of the Wendy family, being missing. To date, there hasn't been a source that confirmed he has been found.To the surprise of the public, the Wendy family has not made any attempt to find the innocent young man while they continue to live their lives with peace and joy.However, the general public hereby declares the Wendy family as the most cruel and inhumane family in the city."In an instant, the article had spread all over the city with the power of the internet. There were several different comments under the post.Some of the comments were,"This is too bad from t
After Elena was able to escape Patrick's rage, she headed out of the villa and stopped a cab."The City Market," she announced as she entered.Closing the passengers' door and using the seat belt, she accidentally exchanged glances with the cabbie through the rear mirror.His eyes had a disdainful look. Irritated, Elena shifted her gaze away from the mirror, wondering if the look was actually for her or if he caught sight of something else instead."This is none of my business but still my business, anyway. Are you a member of the most cruel family too, or did you just come to visit them?" the cabbie questioned as he kick-started the car engine.Elena wasn't expecting that he was talking to her, as she was just looking out the window as the vehicle drove off.Amidst the view, her brain brought the picture of the scene between her and her brother.'Patrick meant to stone me with the heavy table? What if I hadn't run for my life?' she thought.'It seems he had truly reached the edge of
Elena had come to the market to get some foodstuffs and traditional medicines to help Granny's health.She had to come to the market herself because all their maids had stylishly left the villa one after the other since all the problems had started happening to them.Nothing made them stop working at the villa, if not for the delay in salary payment till it metamorphosed into owing of salary. They had been delayed in paying the maids their salaries since the Wendy family did the anniversary party.The Wendy Group wasn't earning so well, so they were unable to pay the maids on time. Since then, the maids had been quitting their jobs without even informing any of the family members.The following month after the anniversary, they were unable to make the payment at all. Since the maids also had little idea about the fire burning on top of the family's roof, they took a better step, a step that would benefit their lives, which was quitting the job.Since then, the villa had gradually beco
"Elena, what's going on? Are you in a dreamland?" She questioned herself in a low tone with her heart burning so badly. She was already at the verge of tears. She couldn't believe the embarrassment the lady gave her just now was happening in the same world she had been living in since she was born."Elena, that was an utmost embarrassment to you." Her voice was filled with so much pity as the tears nearly down her eyes."Am I expected to cry? No, I can't." She was helping herself with some little courage while her voice was already shaking. She might burst into tears anytime soon.Her walking steps had become unexplainable as she was plugging in leg into leg. Her walking steps were quite faster but it wasn't as fast as that. She might fall if she's not careful. If not that she's still needed to walk, she would have substituted the leg for something else to do the walking. The embarrassment had really made her freeze out, the shock had held her legs more tightly.At this point she even
