Due to the mess that was left by her brother, Paige never felt wronged and aggrieved for the past twenty years of her life. Hence, she could not help but curse at her brother whenever his name was mentioned. “From what I can tell, he still has some conscience left in him. Skyler used all of his connections but he can’t seem to track Yoel,” Estelle chuckled and added, “since he seemed to look like he’s trying, I think you could cut down on the cursing at him. Who knows, he could be sneezing hard right now.” Upon hearing that, Paige felt slightly better and sighed, “Whatever, let’s stop talking about him, I get frustrated whenever I talk about him. We parted ways in a rush and I didn’t get to ask how you and the kids are doing.”“I’ve never been better,” Estelle had rosy cheeks and she looked as if she drowned in happiness. She then added, “After nine months, do come and visit me, and the baby… If you’re free.”“For sure!” Paige replied without hesitating, “it doesn’t matter how we
Skyler pulled into a smile, moved closer to her, and answered, “But I think only Paige was able to come up with this idea.” From his several interactions with the Johnsons’ family, Skyler knew that they were not to be underestimated. For Zion to be able to get out alive from the Johnsons and even keep his last name, he too must have been a tough opponent. “It’s not that difficult, really,” Estelle thought of Paige’s words and told Skyler, “all she did was show up close to him, and touch him. She’d ask if Zion wanted to use the washroom together with him.”Skyler, too, was repelled by the idea of having an intimate relationship with another man. Hence, his expression turned bitter the moment he heard Estelle’s words. On second thought, Skyler realized that he was not the one experiencing this. Hence, he immediately burst into laughter.“Paige really does have her own way,” Skyler slapped his lap to hold his laughter back around Estelle. He simply shook his head and added, “But I
On the other hand, unlike Paige, Zion was neither in a good mood nor had the time to be relaxing. Throughout the entire day, he felt as if he was stained with dirt. Not only did he have a hard time concentrating, but just the sight of anything that was related to Yoel made him feel disgusted.His secretary who entered his room to deliver some packages saw the calm and collected Manager Zion wiped his hands frantically with a box of wet wipes while cursing underneath his breath.His secretary stood silently for quite some time before finally asking, “Manager Zion, is the office not clean? Would you like me to call the cleaner over to wipe the table?”“It’s fine, leave it!” Zion said coldly, “for the rest of our meetings, make sure to arrange Yoel’s seat toward the corner of the room.”Even a blind man would be able to hear that Zion wanted to shred Yoel’ into pieces. After hesitating for a moment, the secretary chose to save himself instead of telling the truth. Feeling terrified,
Paige knew right away about what upset Zion and before she nearly burst into laughter, she cleared her throat and tried to contain her laughter. “That’s fine, I’ll go check on him. We’re after all managing the same company, and who knows, I might be able to help solve his problem.”She then waltzed to where Zion’s office was located. The rest of the employees slowly gathered around for the showdown. Zion’s secretary felt anxious as he whispered, “What if Manager Zion flips out? What should we do then?”“What else can we do?” one of the staff rolled his eyes and scoffed, “he’s the one who wants to provoke Manager Zion, so he should clean up his mess.”With a big smile on her face, Paige entered Zion’s office without even bothering to knock on the door. She then asked, “I heard that you’re in a bad mood. Well, you can always share your troubles with me, I might be able to give you some advice.”Even though she seemed to be concerned about Zion, Paige was eager to hear him out so sh
From what Yoel asked, Zion thought that he was being extremely shameless. “I don’t have any other intentions. I’m just worried that incidents from before would repeat again,” Paige said nonchalantly, “if you think about it, how is it possible for the debt collectors to settle with us this easily? I’m sure they’d come back at us again and again until they get what they want, and I might never be able to step my foot out of this office again. So, I’d need to study hard.”Zion had no other options but he knew that Yoel made up his mind to annoy him. Hence, he said to Yoel, “Suit yourself then. There’s an empty spot on the sofa. But don’t you blame me if you get nothing out of this.”In all fairness, Zion realized that the Yoel in front of him acted rather differently, and he had to be wary.Paige took his offer right away and sat on the sofa. Upon seeing that Zion was about to clean his hands with the antibacterial wet wipes, Paige cried out, “My my, Zion, how could you do that to yo
Before Zion could say anything, Paige replied, “There’s no need for that, it’s not like we have anything to hide, right, Zion?”Zion thought to himself that his world would have turned upside down if something did happen between the both of them. Zion threw a glance at his secretary, hinting for him to leave the room. However, the secretary looked toward Paige then at Zion as he was clueless as to why Zion intensely stared at him. Paige though reacted quickly. As soon as she realized that Zion was about to explode in anger, she decided to take a step back and announced, “It’s fine then. I should leave you both to discuss your matters. Oh, and Zion, we can always continue learning some other time, don’t forget about it.”Not only did she sound flirty, Paige even whistled joyfully. Aside from Zion, everyone else could not seem to hold back their laughter. Paige stopped right at the doorstep, turned around, and gave Zion a wink while the secretary was still around. “Gorgeous, ther
While cleaning his hands, Zion urged his secretary. “This won’t do! I can’t sit and wait around any longer. We have to take Yoel Fabian down as soon as possible. He’s acting strange recently and I suspect that this is one of his tricks.”The secretary recalled what he witnessed earlier and said, “Please be rest assured.”“Okay, thank you for your effort,” Zion added, “the best plan would be to have him get thrown into jail and for him to get a life sentence. If not, our plan might be affected.”Paige decided to make a call to Estelle during lunchtime. After several lessons, Paige concluded that it was not a suitable time for Estelle to answer a call at night and the love birds might have been all over each other during that time. If she were to carelessly call Estelle again, she risked offending Skyler instead. It was not appropriate to call Estelle in the morning as she needed to rest longer as she was pregnant. After rounds of careful thinking, Paige decided that lunch was the b
Paige replied to Estelle while recalling Zion’s recent reaction toward her attacks. She then heard Estelle advising her gently, “It’s good then. In any case, be extra cautious when you’re around him. If he gets provoked, he might come after you with no mercy.”Upon hearing that, Paige felt a sense of relief. She joked playfully, “Estelle, why are you exaggerating? I think that -”Before Paige could finish her sentence, there was a loud commotion coming from outside her office. An unfamiliar man entered the staff’s office and asked, “Where’s Yoel Fabian?”Most of the staff members were startled as they saw the man dressed in a police uniform and had a police badge with him. Neither of them dared to say anything as they were worried about the consequences. Paige thought that the debt collectors turned up at the office and she quickly locked the door to her office before leaning closely toward the door to listen to the conversation. She then said to Estelle who was on the other end o
