Of course I can call you this,” he said and she blinked in confusion. “What wife? What if someone hears and talks?” she asked incredulously.“I have decided that I will try hard to stay sane this month. To do this, I will do what I please. This way, I will get less angry and we will not be fighting every moment. Just get used to it,” he said and approached the chair by the corner to sit down.“We will need to live together for up to two months, we need to come to an agreement that will help me calm down,” he said.“What about what I said? I told you it could get leaked if you start calling me we

One could tell he was angry from the veins running up his scalp.“Of course,” Emerald asked.“You are fired!” he said.“HR has the right to fire my employee?” The person who had spoken this time was Emerald’s boss.“Yes. If they cause trouble for the company,” he said and the security started moving Emerald’s things. Emerald stood aside as she called the police.“Hurry up with her things!” The head of HR, Dan Hamilton scolded the guards, which irritated them.“There is no need to rush. I have already called the police,” Emerald said.“What for?” Dan scoffed.“For wrongful and forceful termination. They are only here to be witnesses for when I sue the company. I figured, the police are good witnesses.” Emerald sa

They say he attacked an employee from the magazine and she is being taken to the hospital at this very moment,” his head secretary, Cynthia said.“Both of you, Come with me.

A trap long in the Making.“Yes, why?” Mark answered on the other end of the Phone.“A shareholder’s son, Andrew Woods just threatened my wife while she was at his hospital. It seems you shareholders hold the life of your patients in your hands,” Matthew said and Mark sat up.“Is your wife okay?” he asked.“She is fine. Please deal with this, or tell me if it is unsafe so I can move her to another hospital,” he said. The doctor said was sweating. He could not believe they had gotten into this kind of mess.“Mr Reeves please do not misunderstand,” Andrew started to explain. Matthew Reeves was someone his father and grandfather wanted to strike a deal with. If he messed this up, he was finished. “Why is Mr Woods still here?” Matthew asked coldly and Andrew could only leave. He would have to tell his father about this to find out what to do. His only hope was that Matthew Reeves did not attack his family in anger.“Then, Emerald, I will see you later,” he said and left quickly.“Stil

Going home.While his secretary, Cynthia handled the procedures, He and Emerald waited. He had been watching her all day. A little while into noon she had eaten and gone to sleep. He was grateful that she was not feeling much pain. She at this moment had woken up and was sipping on some ice tea while she scrolled through her phone."Don’t scroll too long, Emerald," Matthew murmured, his voice low and full of concern. "You will hurt your eyes. Rest a bit, Cynthia should be done soon."Emerald managed a weak smile, her eyes finally looking his way as he brought over her jacket to help her wear it."I am only looking, how will it hurt my eyes? You sound like a mother," she muttered.Matthew raised his brows, a soft smile adorning his face as he said, "You really are bad at taking care of yourself. You don’t even know it will hurt your eyes, or you don't even care. You sound like a child"Emerald folded her arms and harrumphed as she ignored him and kept scrolling despite his previous w

Old Madam Reeves Matthew and Emerald woke up to his grandmother, Old Madam Reeves sitting in the living room. The old woman had been traveling for a long while. It was normal for her to be gone for up to a year and show up. The first to come down stairs was Emerald, when she walked down to see the older woman, she froze. Old Madam Reeves on the other hand raised a brow as her eyes widened when she saw Emerald. Emerald was dressed too casually to be a staff of a guest and she knew that her grandson did not let people on the second floor of his home. “And who might you be, dear?” the old woman asked and Emerald tried to find her voice. It was not the butler beside the old woman or the staff’s respectful demeanor that told her that this woman was important, something about this old woman felt like she was staring at Matthew . Instinct told her they were related. “I am Emerald, Emerald Jackson,” she answered and the old woman let out a smile and beckoned to Emerald to come clo

To offend a celebrityAs she reached her bedroom, Nina closed the door behind her and let out a heavy sigh. She glanced at her phone, which had been left on the bed and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of resentment towards Emerald. If only her cousin hadn’t caused so much trouble in the past, maybe she would have long been married and would not have to worry about offending the Woods.Nina shook her head, pushing those thoughts aside. She sat on her bed and did not pick her phone. Even though she promised she would call him, she knew not to call. Obviously she did not want her family to go bankrupt, but she did not want to lose her marriage too. So she sat and waited.Meanwhile, downstairs, the Jackson family remained in the living room, the tension was like a heavy blanket, at least for the two women.

Unable to fire a small staff"I'll have to report this matter to the top," the marketing director replied. "In the meantime, I'd suggest trying to find a compromise, perhaps have Jasmine stay away from her so that there is no friction."Annie nodded reluctantly. "Understood. I'll relay that to Jasmine, but I can't promise she'll be satisfied with that.""Do your best," the marketing director said. "This is a delicate situation, and we need to handle it with care. “I'll be in touch once I've relayed the matter."As Annie ended the call, she turned to Jasmine, bracing herself for the actress' reaction. "Jasmine, I've spoken with the marketing director, and I'm afraid the news isn't good. They're not willing to remove Emerald from the project."Jasmine's face contorted with rage. "What? Why not? I'm the star here, and I refuse to work with that backstabbing slut!""I know, Jasmine, I know," Annie soothed, raising a hand to try and calm the actress. "The director said that Emerald is a
