The ACEGame building is buzzing with workers who are ready to meet their boss, whom they haven’t met for four years. Employees have been curious about how he looks since he lives in Europe. He avoided getting caught on camera, so no one actually knows his face except their boss for operation, Creep, and his wife, Elise.“Do you think the boss is handsome?” A few females asked the other while they lined up in front of the entrance door of the first floor.“I hope so. I want to see a handsome face when working to motivate me.” the girl replied with giggles.“Get ready,” the one in front of them said before looking at the entrance. Then they saw their boss come in with Creep and Elise. But they wondered why a woman was in the middle of their bosses.Emerald was walking along with Creep, Elise, and Daryl, and she was creasing her forehead when she saw how their employees lined up. “What’s all this, Creep?” she asked in a low voice.“I don’t know either,” he replied. After they pass throug
Jace lives in the penthouse of his company building. After Emerald left, he couldn’t bear to live in the mansion since he only remembered his wife there. But after what happened in the mall, he decided to go to the house where he lived with the woman he loved for a year. “Do you want me to set the table for you, sir?” the butler asked as he sat on the couch in the living room, but Jace shook his head.“Get me a bottle of whiskey and a glass.” He said before he leaned back and closed his eyes. “But you haven’t eaten yet. It would be good if you put something in your stomach first,” the butler insisted. He was confident he could remind Jace since he had been working for their family for a long time. After Emerald left, Jessica asked him to look after her son, but young Higginson didn’t like it.“Can’t you just do as I say? I’m not hungry, you can call Jack and ask him. We eat before we go our separate ways.” Jace replied, annoyed. Although he knew that the butler was just concerned ab
“Say that again?” Jace asked Kyle. They had just finished meeting with the marketing department and were left behind in the conference room.“ACEGame wants us to submit our detailed proposal,” Kyle repeated. “Are you kidding me? Aren’t we supposed to meet their boss so we will be able to explain the details further?” “They told me that their boss would be very busy this month, so they canceled the meeting. They promise to look into our proposal and study it, and then they will get back to us.”“What if they reject it? How will we explain the project to them if they base their decision only on the proposal? How will we answer their question if they will not meet us?” Jace asked continuously. He wanted collaboration very much but didn’t know why.“Then we get another meeting. They said their boss will be very busy this month, which I understand since he just arrived.”“Don’t you see it, Kyle? They didn’t want to work with us!” Jace exclaimed. “Asked for another meeting. Tell them that
“Liam!” Emerald exclaimed when she looked up to see who entered her office. Behind the man was Daryl, who excused himself since he had to meet Jace and Kyle.“Hi,” the man replied, smiling, and walked closer to her.“When did you arrive?” she asked as she got up from her seat to meet him.“I just did. I went here as soon as I left the airport.”“You should have told me that you’re coming. Creep would have got you.”“I know how busy he is, so I just help myself.” Liam replied, “And I think you are too.” he added, but Emerald shook her head.“Nothing that I can’t manage.”“As always.”“Have a seat,” Emerald said, motioning to the couch not far from them. She was tense because she knew Jace would be talking to Daryl in their meeting room. She also knew that once her assistant told them about the rejection, her ex-husband would never agree.“I think you already have an idea why I’m here,” he said.“Don’t tell me–” “Not exactly, but I have a lead.”“Can we discuss this at home? You didn’t
“This is not happening again! How many times do we need to face this, Dad?” Emerose exclaimed. She was angry that their business was facing bankruptcy once again. For three years, Emerson had been struggling to manage their business. The investment that Jace made went to waste since the Morgan patriarch failed to stop his family from spending too much. “I’ve tried so hard to maintain this business, Emerose. I warned you and your mother not to spend beyond our means, yet you didn’t follow. So don’t blame me if we’re down the drain again.”“Are you blaming us? As the head of this family, you are responsible for providing us with our needs,” Merly replied angrily. She hated that her husband was pointing fingers at her and their daughter.“Find another investor, Dad. Or better yet, talk to Jace again. He might want to marry me this time since he was separated from Emerald.” Emerose suggested. Old Morgan looked at her intently while thinking. After a while, he smiled and nodded his head.
Liam and Emerald go back to L.A. after they meet the man and hand him to the custody of the police because of the CCTV footage from the hospital that Creep recovered and sent to them. Young Morgan was happy but at the same time, she was sad since she still had no idea about where Lucy was. According to Donato, the man who took her nanny from the hospital, after a month of taking care of Lucy, someone took her from him as well.Donato said he was ready to take care of Lucy and planned on continuing her medication through Merly by blackmailing her. Right now, he had no idea where Lucy was, and he thought Mrs. Morgan had nothing to do with her disappearance because he continuously got money from her until last month."We will continue the search for your nanny, Emerald,” Creep said.“What worries me is that I had no idea who took her. What if they did something to her?”“Let’s be positive. I had a feeling that nothing bad had happened to her. It should be on the news if she had been a vi
Emerald and Ace should have gone to the zoo at the weekend, but something came up, forcing Young Morgan to cancel it. She went to the company but brought her son with her.“What happened?” I asked Emerald when they were all seated. Then, I let Ace sit in her office chair and play on his cell phone.“There have been a lot of complaints in our Mobile Ace Clash,” Daryl replied. Mobile Clash, or MAC, is the very first online game that gives them a fortune. It’s their lucky strike project that led them to become famous.“Like what?” Emerald asked. “Purchases of items. They said they purchased a certain armor but didn’t receive it.” Daryl replied. “Bugs, too,” Creep added. “Why did it happen so early?” Young Morgan asked. “Are you expecting this?” Creep asked. “Not this early, but I already made an optimization plan. The more users the game has, the more congested it will become. That’s why it needs to be updated regularly.”“I take it that you’re ready, right?” Daryl asked. “Of cours
Furious and brokenhearted. That’s exactly how Jace feels after seeing Emerald and Liam making out in the office. He was stunned and couldn’t move. His body trembled in anger, and at the same time, feeling so vulnerable seeing how beautiful and alluring his wife looked now. But the thought of a man touching her made his jaw clench and face hardened. He was about to attack Liam, but Kyle, who managed to escape his shock, stopped him.“Calm down, Jace,” he whispered.“I’m sorry, he rushed here.” Daryl and Creep said in unison.“I guess I will have to leave now,” Liam told Emerald as he helped her fix herself. “I’ll go back to your house and wait for you there,” he added, and young Morgan nodded at him in agreement, smiling.
