Third POV***"Why is he following the same path?"Abigail couldn't help but wonder about the purpose behind his decision to walk the same path as hers. In an attempt to detect his intentions, she gently slowed down her steps, curious to see if he would adjust his pace to match hers. To her amazement, he indeed followed suit, graciously matching her stride.It didn’t take a genius to figure out that the peculiar man was following her every step. What were his motives? His presence felt like an invasion of her personal space.As they moved down the hallway, rooms and offices were on both sides, but the guy didn’t even glance at any of them. He was focused on walking straight ahead, following her like a bloodhound on a scent.She toyed with the idea of calling the dude out, but she just couldn’t make up her mind. It was like a tug of war going on inside her head, one side saying to just get it over with and the other side telling her to think it through.She walked faster, her heart rac
Third POV***Abigail leaned toward her father, her curiosity piqued. "So, Father," she began, her gaze shifting briefly to Hercules before returning to her father, "how long has Hercules been working as your lawyer? Is he as loyal as you think?" She asked, her tone conversational and relaxed, seemingly unfazed by the presence of Hercules.Mr. Williams looked a bit surprised by his daughter's questions, but he kept his composure. "Hercules is an excellent lawyer, Abigail," he said reassuringly. "He's been working with me for a long time now. What made you ask about him, sweetheart?”Abigail nodded in understanding, silently acknowledging that her questions might have been out of context."Nothing, father, we just didn't have a good encounter and it's totally my fault." She summoned the courage to say. Obviously, she knew doubting a person she had never met was wrong.To make matters worse, she had even called him a naughty pervert."I'm sorry for what happened earlier" Abigail said, h
Third POV***Abigail closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She tried her best not to look at the words on the paper when she opened them again, but they were still there, staring back at her.Her voice trembled as she spoke. "Father... are you saying you want me to take over Zeng Company? To be the one in charge?" Her eyes searched her father's face for any sign that this might be a misunderstanding, but his serious expression confirmed that she'd heard him correctly. "Yes it is yours to keep. Your mother contributed to the success of this company before she died. It has been yours since the beginning. We wanted to give this to you, that was the original plan. We saved enough money for our baby girl. I should have told you earlier." Mr Williams said with a convincing smile, hoping she would believe him.Many years ago, before the death of Abigail's mother, they had both saved a little amount of money. For years, they never stopped saving, it was just unfortunate that her mother ne
Third POV***"BIXIE?" Mr Williams asked, his eyes still fixed on the paper."Yes, it is the young man we have been discussing, Boss," Hercules responded respectfully, noticing the image of the young man on the paper."What could be his purpose for visiting Zeng company?" Mr. Williams pondered, leaning forward with his chin resting on his hands. His brow furrowed as he thought about the potential reasons for Ethan's sudden interest in Zeng company."I don't want Ethan around my company," Mr. Williams stated firmly, his teeth clenched and a trace of irritation evident in his voice. He was steadfast in his decision to maintain a separation between Ethan and himself.Mr. Williams had never held a favorable opinion of Ethan, particularly upon discovering that he had been romantically involved with one of his daughters, only to end that relationship and pursue another of his daughters soon after. From Mr.Williams' perspective, Ethan was entirely unsuitable for his daughters, and he believ
Third POV***The soft beep of the door unlocking drew their attention as it slid open, giving them a view of the room. Seated at the center, a man occupied a chair with his back facing them.As Abigail and Hercules entered the room with an air of confidence, the man inside seemed not to notice them. He was sitting with his jaw resting on his hands, his brow furrowed and eyes fixated on the desk in front of him. Taking the initiative, Abigail broke the silence as she confidently proceeded toward the unoccupied chair opposite Ethan. With a sense of authority, she pulled the chair back and gracefully took a seat.Abigail's voice was filled with sarcasm as she spoke to Ethan. "Mr. Ethan Brundeen, it's so nice to see you again," she said, her tone making it clear that she didn't mean what she said and that she had a strong dislike for him.At the sound of Abigail's voice, Ethan turned his head to look up, visibly surprised by her presence. His expression was one of utter bewilderment, hi
Third POV***"Yes, Mr. Hercules?" Ethan replied calmly, despite his growing unease and suspicion towards Abigail."While your proposal is impressive," Hercules said, his tone shifting as his gaze locked on Ethan, "I believe we should carefully consider the implications and potential risks involved."Abigail, who had been quietly observing the exchange, spoke up with confidence. "I agree," she said. "A decision of this magnitude should not be made lightly."Ethan felt a surge of frustration but knew better than to let his emotions show. "Of course," he said with a forced smile, "I understand your concerns, and I'm more than happy to provide any additional information you may need.""Any information?" Abigail teased, clearly trying to annoy him and she was enjoying the nervous look on his face.Ethan's throat tightened, making it difficult for him to speak. He tried to talk, but no words came out. His lips moved in vain, rendering him momentarily speechless as his mind raced to compose
Third POV***The words kept ringing in his ears and he just stared at them, astonished and unable to believe what he had just heard.Was this a joke?Ethan's eyes fluttered rapidly as he blinked several times in quick succession. Despite this reflexive action, he couldn't help but notice the smug expressions on their faces. "Excuse me, that can't possibly be a serious request," Ethan responded, his voice laced with a hint of nervousness as he attempted to deflect the suggestion with a nervous laugh. He was expecting Hercules to do the same but his expression remained the same.Hercules didn't mean what he had said or did he?"Are you serious or is this a joke?" Ethan asked again, looking at Hercules for clarification. He was having trouble believing the situation and hoped that he was joking."This is not a joke," Hercules replied with a serious tone and a shrug. "It's an order from high authority, and I believe you have the potential to prove your dedication to the Zeng company de
Third POV***"You wicked woman!" Ethan hissed, anger burning in his eyes. "You think you've won, Abigail? Think again! Don't get too comfortable, because I'll be back to settle the score!”Abigail feigned surprise, her voice laced with mock concern. "Are you actually threatening me right now, Ethan?”In response, a thunderous laughter filled the room as Ethan cackled maniacally, his laughter reverberating throughout the room.The security pulled his arm forcefully, dragging him out of the office like he was some piece of trash.His laughter was difficult to bear, so the security men promptly escorted him out through an alternate exit to minimize any further disruptions.Whenever a person or traitor was asked to be thrown out of the company, they always followed a back door, it was said to be the door of doom.As Ethan reached the back door, his heart pounding in his chest, he felt a sudden push from behind. Stumbling forward, he lost his balance and desperately reached out to grab on
