"That little b*tch! She's not over Spencer yet! She must be using this chance to climb her way back. I'm going to teach her a lesson for butting into your relationship!" Pamela said angrily.Without wasting a second, Teresa grabbed her and left the shop before Nancy and Spencer could turn and look.Pamela was confused and asked, "Teresa, why did you pull me away? Didn't you see that Spencer is together with Nancy?""I don't need you to remind me. I saw them," Teresa said."Then why did you…" Pamela was confused."Do you think I'm stupid like Nancy? He's an egoistic person so I shouldn't make him feel embarrassed in public nor should I announce to the whole world that Spencer is going to dump me like Nancy," Teresa explained."Then what are you going to do?" Pamela asked.Teresa looked at her and said calmly, "I heard Nancy is studying at the same university Spencer works in.""That little b*tch knows how to slide her way in," Teresa said."So what? She lost to me when she was
After hearing the question, Yaacob's hand, the one that was holding the mouse, paused. He looked at Nancy and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask about him?""Umm... I'm curious, that's why. Didn't we see him at dinner once? He's so handsome. He was the type of mature man that attracted your attention immediately. So I just want to know more about him," Nancy answered."Then do you think he's handsome or me?" Yaacob asked."It's different. You have an advantage because you're young but I rarely see a man looking so gentle and with a sense of humor at his age," Nancy said."How do you know he's gentle and has a sense of humor when you only talked to him once?" Yaacob sounded jealous.At this point, Nancy did not know if she should tell Yaacob she had talked with Benjamin that day. After much consideration, she decided not to tell since they did not talk about anything important."I… I saw him on television." Nancy came up with a reason."Even the celebrity knows how to show their bes
After two days, the Lotus Village's issue was settled. Yaacob had made sure all the victims had received 300 thousand dollars of compensation. He had also assured the families of older people and the only child in the family that he would provide monthly financial subsidies to them.The organization had strict rules stating those who were hurt during work were protected, and the organization would provide a job suitable for them so they could continue to bring money back home.The compensation had surpassed many standards in the country, so the villagers did not complain further.Yaacob must have done something for the villagers and the victim's family because they were really grateful to him now, unlike before. The reporters thought they could capture another photo where the villagers gathered in front of the Getson Corporation and demanded an explanation.However, the villagers were there to express their gratitude. Since Yaacob handled the disaster very well, the public changed
Nancy took her time explaining to her grandpa, telling him what Yaacob had done for her to reassure him she was well looked after.Just as she was finishing, Yaacob came in with the medicine.As Yaacob took longer than expected to return, Nancy could only guess that he must have lingered outside the ward on purpose for her to say all the good stuff about him.Then again, she could tell that he was doing the best that he could by how he was treating her grandpa. The old man had a lot of phlegm, and Yaacob did not flinch in the slightest or see any sign of irritation when holding the trash bin. Nancy had to admit that he was a rare catch in this day and age.As they left the hospital, Nancy said, "Do you know that you gave a whole new meaning to how to be the best husband? My grandpa said he adores you!"Upon hearing that, Yaacob stared at her for a bit and said slowly, "You know that's not true. I can see his anxiety written all over his face."Sometimes a smart ass could be so ha
Nancy woke up the next morning and found Yaacob had returned, staring at her."Oh, it's you. When did you get back?"Nancy rubbed her eyes and stretched out her arms. She then tucked into the blanket and wiggled like a critter bug. She still had not rested enough to get up on her own. With outstretched arms, she reached for Yaacob and sheepishly said, "Come get me."Yaacob immediately lowered himself and carried her off the bed.Nancy curled up against Yaacob, with her chin on his shoulder, nuzzling over him as if she were a little kitten.Suddenly, she started sniffing his collar and asked bewilderingly, "Yaacob, why do you smell of blood?""Oh? Could it be your monthly period?" Yaacob responded."Oh?" Nancy got a shock and immediately got on her feet, turning around to check the bed linen.To which she gave Yaacob a big slap and exclaimed, "You're teasing me again!"As Nancy was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror, she noticed that Yaacob was staring at her and asked,
"I can't tell for sure," Benjamin said.Nancy was at a loss of words."She had gone missing, therefore I have no idea," Benjamin elaborated further."Missing?""Yes, she's been missing for more than twenty years, and I've been looking for her ever since," said BenjaminHe left the wine in the middle of the table untouched since dinner started. He only reached for it then and poured himself a glass."Do you have any news regarding her whereabouts thus far?" Nancy asked.Benjamin did not respond but continued to drink to smooth his sorrow.As such, the conversation ended there.By the time dinner ended, Benjamin was drunk and unconscious. His chauffeur had to help him out of the room.Fortunately, a true gentleman would always be a gentleman, whether drunk or sober. He did not lapse into a drunken stupor nor throw up all over. All he did was fall asleep.After Nancy gave the chauffeur a hand in helping Benjamin into his car, the chauffeur politely asked, "Ms. Lawson, why don't
"I... I was just gaming," Nancy said nervously.Yaacob did not seem to believe her. He put on his slippers, walked toward her, and saw the game Plants vs. Zombies on the screen.It was an old game from years before. Nancy had too much stuff on her own laptop, so she transferred some of her games to Yaacob's laptop."I thought you said you need to catch more sleep? What are you doing up at this hour?" Nancy asked."I just remembered that I have some unfinished work," Yaacob replied."So you need your laptop?" Nancy asked."Yes," Yaacob answered."Okay then. I'll go use my own." Nancy handed over the laptop, pouting her lips.The first thing Yaacob did when he had his laptop was to check his mailbox. Good thing the email from the private investigator remained unread.Nancy stopped after taking a few steps and looked at Yaacob with a complicated expression.The next day, Nancy got in touch with the private investigator, for she had memorized their email address. It seemed that t
Yaacob's phone suddenly vibrated when he was about to get into an important agenda. He showed annoyance and was about to terminate the call when he saw who the caller was. His expression changed immediately.Five minutes later, the meeting was suspended.Yaacob left the conference room to return the call in the spacious corner by the corridor."Hello? Any news?" Yaacob blurted out anxiously as soon as the call was connected."Josiah, no, not yet. We may not be able to continue to provide our service. We've given you the lowest fee, seeing that you are Randall's good friend. Seven hundred thousand dollars for the deposit was the agreed sum. However, the remittance we received was short of 100 thousand dollars. This puts us in a difficult position. As you well know, the person you are looking for is declared deceased by the police of the United States. This greatly increases the difficulty of our job," said the private investigator.Yaacob was confused by what he just heard, and he
