“I would never be complete without you in my life.” Those words echoed in Amber’s ears. After their talks on the rooftop, she didn’t say anything to Devlin. But he told her that he would do everything to get her back. He apologized that it took him five years to finally make a move.She learned from him that he has been following everything she has done for the last five years of her life. He told her that he had her followed closely. And he even would go discreetly just to get a glimpse of her. After all these years, she thought she would be ready to face him. There were many times with her conversation with Devlin that she was slowly melting to his words. However, she tried to hold back. She wanted not to give in to her emotions. What is the purpose to all of her success if she would go back to the past that she was trying to run away from?And why would Devlin want to come back? Last time she checked, he was with Fiona Ross. He even took Fiona’s father as an investor in his compan
Everyone gave Amber a big round of applause when she went to the stage to receive her award. Everyone saw a confident woman with a big smile on her face. Deep inside, Amber was actually nervous and excited. Nervous that all eyes were on her. Also, Devlin has been intently watching her since earlier. It added more to her nervousness. “Thank you so much. I would like to dedicate this award to my grandmother who could not make it tonight. This award means a lot to me and to everyone who works with me to make me reach where I am right now. For everything that I have been through to get here, it was all worth it. I would like to thank all the employees of AA Blossoms for all their hard work. With this award, it inspires me to strive harder. Expect that we will give you the best that our company can offer. Thank you so much everyone. Enjoy your night!” She slightly raised her plaque to show to everyone.When she got downstairs, Devlin was there standing waiting for her and escorted her to
It is a sunny Monday morning. Amber went to her office earlier than usual. She had so many things to do today. She left her condo without having any breakfast. She does that when her mind is busy with work. She was holding her coffee while getting out of the elevator. She saw Abby who was also having her coffee. She was surprised to see her lady boss came earlier. She has no big meetings for today except to review and sign some papers piling up on her table.“Good morning, Abby.” Amber said cheerfully. “Good morning, ma’am!” Abby equally greeted her with cheerfulness.“Come to the office in 15 minutes.” Amber said before she got inside. She just wanted to enjoy her coffee. She does not feel hungry but she could order food later on, probably for brunch. She immediately went to her swivel chair. She sees the piles of paperworks she has to do. However, it did not take that long when someone knocked at her door. She sighed to herself. She just told Abby to wait for 15 minutes. “Come
Devlin has been regularly visiting Amber in her office for five straight working days now. He already got the attention of everyone in the company. Amber wanted to ban Devlin from coming to her company but that would get more attention from her employees and the media. She decided to face him with complete indifference. For the last few days, she has been trying hard to act casually with him. She tried to put in her head that Devlin is just one of her clients. However, as days went by, she could not believe that her hatred towards him slowly waned down.Devlin didn’t back down despite all her cold treatment towards him. And she has to admit it, that the walls she built around her are slowly breaking down. Every time he comes to her office, he would just talk casually to her about his day. What he did in his meetings and other things. And at night, he always invites her to dinner. Right now, it’s a Friday night. They are waiting for their order to be served. They are dining in a Jap
“Devlin? You are here. Why did you never tell me that you are coming? I could have prepared something great for lunch, your favorite.” Marmee gave Devlin a big smile. She thought it was only Devlin who came to the farm like he used to do. Amber was left standing next to the car on the other side. Her grandmother did not see her. But hearing her cheerful voice towards Devlin made her eyebrows cross.‘Since when did they become close to each other? She must be missing something. Her marmee is not telling her anything. She has been visiting her but she never ever mentioned Devlin at all.“Marmee, how are you? I missed you so much.” Devlin went to hug her and even planted a kiss on her cheek. Marmee just giggled. “You just came here two weeks ago. I hope next time you come here, you could bring my Amber with you.” She said, still did not notice her granddaughter’s presence. Amber was listening from afar and she is more surprised to hear about what her marmee just said. She was observin
Devlin entered the kitchen to check on Amber and her grandmother. As he approached the door, he noticed that they were both crying and embracing each other tightly. Understanding the need for privacy during such an emotional moment, Devlin quietly stepped back and left them alone, giving them the space they needed.After concluding his conversation with the hired bodyguard he got for marmee, Devlin felt relieved that things were going well. He was grateful that he could protect Amber and her grandmother from the troubles he was facing. Despite his efforts, he still hadn’t been able to uncover the mastermind behind the incident that caused his company’s downfall five years ago. During his pursuit of justice, two employees from his company had bravely spoken up against the mastermind, but tragically, both ended up dead in jail after being poisoned.The police released a list of suspects, and surprisingly, one of them was Devlin’s own brother due to their past disagreements. However, af
As Amber sat at the lunch table with Devlin and her marmee, a radiant smile lit up her face. The feeling of contentment and happiness washed over her, and she couldn’t find the words to describe how much this moment meant to her. Five years ago, this very scenario was her dream - to be surrounded by the most special people in her life, sharing a meal together in harmony.After her heart-to-heart conversation with her marmee, she felt a change in her perspective and a deeper appreciation for the relationships that meant the most to her. The bond with her grandmother had deepened. And she felt that stronger connection with Devlin after learning some things from him. As they laughed, shared stories,and savored the delicious meal, Amber knew that she had completely changed her heart towards Devlin. She has already decided that she would give Devlin another chance. She would take him back in her life. And this time, she would never run away. She would stay by his side. And listen to what
Amber could not stop herself from hugging Devlin tightly. She saw how the immense pain and struggles he had endured all these years were evident on his face, and it broke her heart. Regret washed over her as she realized that she had caused him more pain by walking away without listening to him. The weight of guilt consumed her as she acknowledged that she had wasted five precious years of their lives apart.Yes, she had been hurt by him many times, but that shouldn’t discourage her from believing what they had together five years ago was something very special. It’s important to acknowledge that she had also hurt him in some ways, but dwelling on past mistakes won’t help them now. Instead, they must focus on a significant problem they are facing together. They need to find out who is behind all of these issues, which have escalated to some serious threats.After a while, Amber loosened her embrace from Devlin. However, he gently held onto her, pulling her closer, and tenderly cupped
