Marlie had pulled down the clothes and had also reached the kitchen. It wasn't yet time anyway, so she needed Vien's help in fixing herself. The dress can wait for later. When she reached there, she realized the tension in the Kitchen. She glanced at Chad before looking at Vien who stood in her position and stared suspiciously at Marlie.Marlie motioned with her hand to question what the problem was that was making Vien scrutinize her and Vien calmly questioned."Do you also need to cool your burning hot body?"Chad's eyes pooped out in utter shock. He raised his head and met the questioning eyes of Marlie. Nonetheless, he gritted his jaws and left the kitchen embarrassed by the nanny's statement.Marlie on the other hand, was confused by Vien's question."What did you mean by something to cool my body? And who told you I'm feeling hot?" Marlie questioned in confusion. However, Vien told her it was nothing and left the kitchen with Marlie staring at her back in utter confusion before

"Who was that person...?" She was eager to know which among the guys she supposedly kissed. However, Marlie didn't finish her question as Mark's call interrupted her. She stared at the screen of her phone, torn between wanting to hear about what happened at her prom and answering her partner's call. What the hell!Noticing her conflicted gaze, Spark smirked... "Aren't you going to pick up the call?" He asked, his smile fading slightly before Marlie shifted her attention back to her phone."Excuse me, I need to use the restroom," Marlie said, excusing herself from the table and heading toward the washroom with complicated emotions.As soon as Marlie left, Spark's face turned gloomy. He also picked up his phone and made a call. "If I see that worthless news about Chad online in the next five seconds, consider yourself fired!" He ended the call and let out a heavy sigh. Despite their constant fights, Spark and Chad always had each other's back regardless. However, Spark had to make anot

When Marlie sat on the couch pretending to look all sad and pitiful, Chad didn't spare the time to squat in front of her trying to console her.He held her stained face in his hand and wiped the fake tears off Marlie's face. His words were soothing as he assured her, "There's no need for these tears, Charlie. It's okay, hush. Those media know nothing and write nonsense. Shhh... shhh... Hush now okay? Don't cry please." Chad tried hard to pacify her. Seeing her sad eyes really tugged at his heart which was something new. Chad had never seen Charlie this sad ever since they started dating and even after their marriage. Well, except for the day she found out the truth regarding who he truly loves. It was an unpleasant day for both of them but Chad didn't feel as awful as he was feeling now, looking at her sorrowful eyes, which were brimmed with tears.Chad gazed at her with concern evident in his eyes. On the opposite side of Marlie, Spark observed her with disdain. At that moment, he

Marlie appeared troubled as she exited the bathroom. Although she recognized the man in her memories as Chad, she was unsure of what to do.What could she do when the man she despised and enjoyed her intimacy with him turned out to be none other than Chad? Moreover, she recalled nothing beyond that kiss from years ago. What troubled Marlie more was how she would confront Chad about what had transpired."Marlie, think! Concentrate, damn it. How can you be devoid of any ideas at such a critical moment? Did that kiss render your mind blank? Idiot!" She furiously racked her brain, but it seemed to betray her."Damn it, why can't I rely on this damn brain when I need it the most!" She cussed herself, knowing that she always neglected her rationality in favor of her emotions. Perhaps it was no surprise that her mind failed her, or maybe she was burdened by pressure and frustration.Why wouldn't she be if she simply repeated the events of years ago just a few moments ago? "I was foolish not t

In preparation for her breakfast, Marlie readied herself and proceeded downstairs. She needed food to patiently await the afternoon news with joy.In the hallway, Marlie noticed Vien and offered her a displeased smile. She had not forgotten what Vien had said to her the previous night. However, Marlie remained unsettled by the news that Vien had for her instead.In the dining room, the three Baristanas sat eagerly awaiting breakfast. Audrey felt compelled to inquire from her brother, "Did they transfer Carolina to my department per your instructions?" Chad nodded, confirming the transfer.She couldn't understand why Chad had moved Carolina to another department. Carolina was not lazy, but rather efficient. "So, why the transfer?" Audrey, still behaving like the brat she was raised to be, raised her voice at her brother, seeking an answer.She didn't need to yell, but she was correct in her actions. Chad may be the CEO of the company, but she was also a part of the same company, specifi
