Natasha straightened up her collar even though it didn't need to be straightened and when she wasn't satisfied, she ran into the bathroom built in her office to check herself out.It was finally the day for the final signing of the contracts, she had done a really good job keeping it away from her parents, she had planned to present the signed contract to them as a surprise and announce to them everything that has been going on if everything goes as planned.She smiled nervously as she looked into the mirror and let out several deep breaths."Everything is already finalized, what is the point of being nervous?" She asked while slapping her face to get rid of all the nervousness and swelling in her face.She took in a deep breath before she walked out of the bathroom. Her eyes moved to the wall clock, the investors would soon be there, it was left for her to put on her best business apparel and show them the stuff she was made of.Although she knew there was no need for all the poise a
Harrison returned to the office to meet Henry waiting for him."Where have you been?" Henry asked him. "I've been going around, trying to gather the information you need about Ava."Henry sighed deeply. He had completely forgotten that he sent Harrison on a mission. He could remember getting angry the previous day because Harrison was not around when he needed him. He had concluded that he would scold him today. He felt guilty even though he hadn't scolded him yet. He had asked where he was coming from calmly. "Do you have any information yet?" Henry asked, almost in a whisper. He looked around and beckoned Harrison to follow him to his office. He had completely forgotten why he was initially looking for him. "Let's not do this here."While they walked into the office, Harrison thought of several ways to distract his boss, but none of them would work. He was not ready to show Henry what he had yet. There was nothing suspicious about it. Henry would regret employing him to do the
It was the weekend already, and Henry was expecting Natasha. He went around, instructing the maids on what to do as they cleaned the house. Madame Gu had left on a business trip the previous day, and she would not be back until after three days. Henry had the whole house to himself. "Take the flowers and place them behind the other chair."Henry walked around the sitting room, spotting things and trying to picture where they would look better. "This flower pot looks old. Take it behind. Bring the other one behind forward... it has nicer flowers."He darted his eyes around the sitting room and sighed satisfactorily. He noticed that the pillows and some of the couch towels needed to be changed. "This towel needs to be washed. Take them away and replace them right away."He moved to the kitchen. The maids were doing a very good job there. They had cleaned up the kitchen and arranged it. There was no correction for him to make. He sighed. They were already preparing a banquet to welc
"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
