"Come in," Henry called without asking who was at the door. Natasha cleared her throat and sat properly. Henry didn't bother to know who was at the door because he was just coming from the kitchen, and he already knew who it was. When he went to get Natasha's drink, he scolded the maids to hurry with the food. They were already done, so he asked the maid to be behind him.The door opened lightly, and the maid stepped in. Henry noticed that she had become empty-handed. He tried to peep behind her. There was no one carrying the food and walking behind her. "What do you want?" He asked. One would think she had interrupted something. The way he sounded. "Should I set the dining or bring the food here?" She asked. Henry didn't think about that earlier. He turned to face Natasha. "Should we go downstairs to eat or have them bring it here?" He asked her. "Uhm_" she clicked her tongue. "Let's have it here."Henry turned to the maid who was still standing there and waiting to get the
"It seems like we are a little bit behind," Sylvia said. They were in a meeting in Jason's house. As they sat around the dining table, with assorted dishes in front of them, they spoke more than they ate. They had been in that meeting for more than an hour, yet they had not been able to conclude on anything yet. "Madame Gu has become a bit stiff recently. I can't even get any information from her anymore. She seems to have decided to keep private issues private."Clinton, who was the closest to Madame Gu, kept nagging about the fact that she had stopped telling him so much. It was now difficult for him to keep a record of what was going on. "Do you think there's something going on that she's not telling you. Maybe there's truly nothing important going on right now."Everyone around the table turned to William. How could he suggest something like that? "You must be delusional to think that there's nothing going on in madam Gu's life. They are only looking at us intentionally."Henr
Linda was not paying attention to the conversation her mother and James were having in the dining hall while eating because she was absent minded. Actually, she was thinking about Henry and the board meeting that was coming up the next day.It was the last board meeting before the official launching of Henry's company. They had also been invited to the ball which would launch the new subsidiary of the Floater group.Linda had been down since she received the invitation because she couldn't help thinking that she was supposed to be beside Henry on that day as his wife if she had been patient enough.Even though they eventually got what they wanted by being the company chosen by the Floater group to work with them, Linda's life had never remained the same knowing that she lost Henry because of Richard whom she eventually found out was not even who he claimed to be.She wanted more, she wanted more than just being partners with the Floater group, she wanted to be the wife of the heir of
"Honey you've been sitting static at a place since your dinner was served to you, do you need something different? I can have the maids do that for you." Mrs Bay's voice pulled Natasha rudely out of her thoughts and she immediately looked up.She slowly shook her head and straightened up her face to avoid the blush which she was sure was evident on her face at the moment."Uhmm... No mom, I'm okay." She said sharply and began digging into her food.She let out a soft smile after her mother looked away as she began to think about her moments with Henry the previous day.She kept asking herself repeatedly why she was getting excited but she could explain the reason either. She had hated Henry from the beginning when she was introduced to him, but now, all of a sudden the thought of him suddenly got her smiling.Especially when she thought of their last encounter. She could not forget the look on Henry's face when he saw her off that night, he had even tried to kiss her in front of her c
Henry woke up a few minutes before his alarm went off and went over to sit on his desk while staring at his bed where he had been lying.He had gone to bed the previous night thinking about everything that needed to be done today. First, he had the final board meeting to attend, then he also had to make preparations to welcome Madame Gu from the airport later in the day. She would be returning from the business trip which she had embarked on earlier. She had gone to meet up with top shareholders in the company to sign some documents which were needed for the hosting of the company. Henry could not believe that he had finally succeeded in carrying out this second mission, he could not believe that he did not end up as a failed heir after all. He had initially thought it was a difficult task to meet.Thinking about that, his thoughts drifted to Linda. She had been by his side all through the time that he pretended to be a poor man, only for her to betray him when it was almost time for
Henry swallowed hard and reached out for the envelope which was lying on the table, his hands shook in anticipation of what he was going to find inside.He had been suspicious of Ava, now it was time for him to find out if his suspicions were true.Henry was about to open the envelope when he remembered that he needed to pick his mother from the airport that day. His eyes moved to the wall clock and he realized that it was almost time for his mother to arrive at the airport and he should have been on his way there a long time ago.He swallowed hard and folded the envelope into his briefcase. "I will take a look at this later." He said and hurried out of his office.He knew he could have easily sent one of his drivers or his security men to pick his mother from the airport, but the arrangement had been that he would do it. Besides, they needed the paparazzi to take pictures just for the media. It had all been Madame Gu's idea by the way. According to her, he had just come into the busi
"How did the meeting go?" Mr Timothy asked Madame Gu who was leaning backwards on her table.They were now sitting in her office and having a conversation which seemed to be serious. To the point that Madame Gu didn't even bother changing her clothes before she went straight to her office. Henry had gone upstairs with a long face because he didn't want to be bothered about the meeting.There were some files in front of them which they both went through occasionally."It went well." Madame Gu said and took a long sip from the glass of wine in front of her. "I was able to get most of the major shareholders over to my side, they were willing to join me. I also found out that a good number of them were loyal to my late husband."Mr Timothy nodded his head and rested back on his seat."At least that is a good start." He cleared his throat."Now we are certain that Henry has a lot of back up." "If only he would just agree to the marriage with the Bay heiress." Madame Gu added. "It would be
Ava gasped and took a step backwards after Henry flung the envelope towards her and all the contents spilled over to the ground.She was about to ask what had come over him when her eyes caught one of the contents of the envelope. It was a picture of her and Miguel.She swallowed hard as she stared at the open picture while wondering what could be contained in the rest of them.Her breath hitched when she looked up at Henry and saw the fierce look in his eyes. His eyes were burning and she knew that she needed to keep away as much as possible before the fire in his eyes burned her."So you are a traitor." Henry said under his breath and took another step close to Ava who immediately moved back in fright. "All these while you were coming close to me, you have actually been working closely with my enemies to bring me down. I actually thought that you to an extent felt something for me, I didn't know it was just all a ploy to get me to trust you so that you will ruin me."Ava could see p
