Chadwick returned home after having a serious talk with Isa. He went inside the house and looked around as he hoped he could see Adira. Before he walked out, he clearly told her that he will be back quickly; which means if it is possible, Adira should wait for him. However, he saw no one in the living room where he left her. Standing near the door, Chadwick heaved a sigh. He felt lonely all of a sudden as he looked at the close door of Adira’s room. ‘She’s probably sleeping.’ For a moment, he was so disappointed from the fact that Adira can sleep easily even if here husband is out and together with another woman. A husband with another woman? Chadwick realized that he doesn’t have the right to feel sad, since in the outside picture, he’s the bastard who left his wife just to follow Isa. But he only did that so he can finish what he needed to end. He told Isa that he doesn’t like her anymore and that he wanted to have a good relationship with Adira. Because he’s falling for his wif
Wine&Vibe and Crimson Meadow, the two largest wine company in the West have a new project together, which called: “Luxury for Everyone.”The aim of this project is to enlarge the companies’ influence and to gain enormous profit. 1/8 of the profit will go the the charities, which will improve both of the companies’ images.Project began after Chadwick and Adira married each other. Since then, they started to work for the new wine that the developed for almost half of the year. And now, branding their wine will be the next step before launching.A brand is all about people’s perceptions of the company or the product. Will the people think that the brand is expensive? What do they want the perceived value of wine brand to be?Branding is positioning your company as the expert and people come to you. Once you take a stand for something, you will naturally get people hunting you down wanting to buy the product. And that is the topic for today’s meeting.The two CEO of the project met today
Adira and Chadwick ride on a long white limousine on the way to the event hall. The vehicle is a large luxurious chauffeur-driven sedan that has a glass partition separating the driver’s seat from the passenger compartment.There are super comfortable seats which were laid out in a bench-like manner inside the limo. It has sitting capacity of 8-18 people so tall man like Chadwick has enough legroom to stretch out as much as he likes.Next, it also has an aux input where they can enjoy the ride with their favorite music. The stereo systems of a limo have amazing equalizers, amplifiers, and speakers that strategically fitted around the vehicle and distribute sound evenly so everyone gets to enjoy the music being played regardless of the spot they are seated; whether they are sitting next to each other just like what they did on the airplane, or separately.Above, there is a LCD screens and A DVD player. So if they feel bore, they can watch a movie during the joyride. Aside from having a
When Isa’s father died, she received a huge amount of inheritance. The money is enough that she doesn’t need to work for her entire life. Besides, a business partner continues her father’s business, and 3/4 of the profit goes to her. That is why she has lot of time volunteering in charities and helping kids in need. When it comes to taking care of children, Isa is sincere since she also lost her parents in young age.Being a daughter of a millionaire, Isa also received an invitation for the launching of the new wine worked by Crimson Meadow and Wine&Vibe companies. She did not have the chance to say this to Chadwick, since during their last conversation, they talked about his wife.[“I fell in love with my wife.”]Every time she remembers his confession, a resentment blossomed within her, stayed there without a plan of escaping out of her heart.At the time she lost her parents and Geoffrey avoided her, Chadwick was the only person who stayed by her side unconditionally. But now, ever
Geoffrey’s childhood is full of hardship. His father died when he was 10, and his mother had to work in market just to support and feed him. Soon, he was forced to drop out of school and worked hard to pay their bills. However, his life changed when his mom met Isa’s father.After her mom re-married to a wealthy man, Geoffrey went back to the school. He’s happy to have a little sister who called him ‘brother’ and a friend like Chadwick. His mom also found happiness together with a kind and supportive husband who treated Geoffrey as if he was his own son. ‘It was a happy family,’ he thought.But that happiness did not last.Isa confessed her feelings, saying that she fell in love with him.Afraid that Geoffrey might ruin the peace, he tried too hard to avoid his step-sister and even broke his friendship with Chadwick. So, after graduation, he asked their parents if he could live by himself and study college in a faraway place.His mother and stepfather agreed, and that’s why he studied
“Ladies and gentlemen! Tonight, is the night everyone is waiting for.”The launching of the new wine presented as the project of Crimson Meadow and Wine&Vibe has started. Loud cheers and claps resonated around the garden as the two CEO climbed up the stairs. When Adira and Chadwick met on the stage, they shook each other’s hands to show their partnership.The first part of the launch is introducing the new wine. They prepared a VCR which shows the people who work behind the scenes and how the wine was produced using the finest ingredients.As guests watched the VCR, Chadwick and Adira sat in the corner of the stage. They are sitting next to each other, watching both the screen and the people’s reaction under the stage.Gradually, Chadwick turned his head to his wife.Before the start of the ceremony, Adira saw him together with Isa . Although he went to Adira after talking with Isa, he did not have the chance to explain to his wife.[“The ceremony will start. So, we should stick togeth
With a downward gaze, Isa stayed seated on the floor while the liquid of mixed food and drinks dripping from the top of her head to her face and to the tip of her chin.A cold wave of dread washed over her. In the special event when many people came to celebrate, she humiliated herself and became the laughingstock of everyone, although some of them felt sorry. Isa heard the murmurs, asking who she might be or how embarrassing it would be to be in her situation.Isa felt her heart drop to the pit of her stomach as she realized how mortifying it is to make a fool of herself. Was it because of the alcohol? Her desperation to follow a man who resembles her stepbrother?Things went so quick, she’s not sure what this is and how is that. All she wished if for the earth to open up and swallow her in a whole.‘I don’t want to be here,’ she prayed inwardly as she could not bear to lift her head and meet the eyes around.Her cheeks burned as tears prickled at the corner of her eyes. At the world
Adira’s POV My husband is taking so long outside. I was told by his secretary that Chadwick will come back as soon as possible. But it’s been past 30 minutes since he went out of the event venue with his dearly Isa. Worried it might cause misunderstanding to the guests, which already happened, I went out to find him.I am so damn sure there will be an article or rumor after this. But if Chadwick and I came in together, we might find away to somehow lessen the problem.‘If we can explain to everyone that Isa is a friend of us, then the rumor will be light.’ I hated to consider that dumb woman as my friend, though. No matter how special they are to each other, they should know how to differentiate things they can and cannot do.‘What came to Chadwick’s mind that he invited his woman in this event?’ I wanted to curse his foolishness. But at the back of my head, I wonder if this might be my punishment for kissing him inside the limo. The reasons why I kissed him are very simple. First,
