Amihan's POV. "You are not very busy, are you?" I asked the moment I walked into Judith's room. "You know very well that I am. But I have five minutes to spare if it’s important,” she said and glanced at the wall clock in her room. “It is important,” I said and Judith raised a brow. “Hey! It’s been a while since we hung out together,” I said and she scowled.“And whose fault is that? You are almost always busy and you hardly ever have time for us,” she complained since I had been absent from two previous outings for the past three weeks because I was setting up my dad's real estate and the last Saturday I was on a date with Maxwell. “Are you here to nag? Cause you have three minutes left,” She said and I snorted.“Your timing doesn't work on me you should know better miss," I said and we both giggled. “How are you doing? How is work?” she asked with interest. “I'm fine. Work is fine. I trust you’re fine too. So how about your alleged dad? How is it going with you both? W

Maxwell's POV. I never thought Judith would be nervous about anything. I was speechless at how terrified she was about the contract with Mr. Antonio.Judith had always seemed to me to be a bold, strong-willed woman who could withstand any resistance. She had deep-seated anxieties and insecurities, which I noticed as I observed the terror etched all over her lovely face and her hands shaking. Perhaps this contributed to her paranoia, or maybe it was how she maintained her standards high. When we drove back to the office, I turned to observe the gorgeous smile on her face, "How did you do that?" She asked and I raised a brow. "Do what?" I asked and focused on the road. "The magnificent presentation, you spoke like a professional, and for some second I couldn't believe you were the one," She said and I smiled. "I blew all of our minds in there and stirred up my confidence," Judith said and I raised a brow. "Such a compliment from you needs to be added to my C.V. This is

Dalisay POV. Karl has been distant from me since his last failed attempt for us to make love, even though he still managed to grin and strike up a brief conversation with me at the dinner table. After the weekend with Adams, I realized how insecure he felt about us, and no matter how often I assured him about my love for me, Nothing would change until we were finally together but that would be after I got my divorce from Karl. Karl has never offended me and even when I was at fault, he always had a way of making things right between us. Even with my constant refusal to have sex with him, Karl had never threatened to make it known to anyone or even blackmail me into involving the media. We had some arguments about how I continued refusing him access to my body and he still acted like all was well between us when we stepped out for an interview that day. The moment Karl saw me walking into our room, he stood up to leave, he had been avoiding me since I returned like a plague a

Dalisay's POV. I waited impatiently for the staff to gather as I roamed the board room in a frenzied manner. How in the world was it possible for such a large amount of money to disappear from the company's account without my supervision? The fund could not have left the account without my signature as CEO; Regina and I were the sole signatories. Regina better have a good explanation for this. My mother and Karl, who were on the board of directors, were among those seated in the boardroom a few minutes later. "Without my consent or signature, a substantial amount was taken unlawfully from the company's account. I replied fiercely, observing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces as they gazed at one another. "I wonder how that was possible in the first place and who did that," I muttered. I got more and more enraged as I observed them staring at each other. "Why isn't anyone speaking up? We're not here to gaze at one another; rather, we're here to identify the perpetrato

Judith's pov. "How do I look?" I spun around so Amihan would get a full view of my outfit. "You look stunning and breathtaking girl," As I would be the center of attention for the majority of the activities, I took extra time to get ready for the company's dinner date. "Your beautiful smile is a bonus," Amihan added as she noticed how excited I was. That morning, I felt energized and for the first time since my breakup with Jake, I was truly happy and optimistic about being around people. With Maxwell's help, I was able to attain such a height, and I felt grateful he came through at the very moment I needed him, the first thing I did that morning was to send him an appreciation text, which he responded to swiftly. Whenever his thought flashes through my mind, I catch myself smiling, instead of my typical frown, "What if he asks me to be his girlfriend?" I questioned inwardly and was shocked to hear Amihan giggle. "What's funny?" I questioned her, "Wait, did I say that loud
