After Nancy was through with her meal, she went back to her office and decided to ignore all those who were jealous of her, as she couldn't quit her job. Neither did she want to stoop so low as to their level of toxicity and quarrel with them. She was glad that Mrs. Aria wasn't a jealous woman, probably because Mrs. Aria was a married woman and didn't have time to be jealous of her fellow single ladies."How are you feeling now?" Mrs. Aria asked her, just as Nancy settled into her office seat, which was in the same glass office as Mrs. Aria."I'm a lot better now, thanks," Nancy replied with a smile."You're welcome," Mrs. Aria smiled back at her."Here are the remaining files that you need to work on, as I have worked on the previous files. Probably next week, I will teach you how to upload the new files into our computer," Mrs. Aria said, and Nancy only replied, "Okay."Nancy collected the files from Mrs. Aria's desk, and this time, she was faster with her work.After she was through
Nancy was all smiles as she walked back into her room. She couldn't believe that Mr. Tobe had truly invited her for a treat and to introduce her to another lovely meal at the restaurant.She had seen those meals online before, but she was used to fried food, mostly because she didn't want to eat anything that would upset her stomach and cause digestive issues, especially now that she was working every day.She smiled and locked her parlour door, grateful that Mr. Tobe cared for her.In the kitchen, she grabbed a flat plate and a spoon, and took out a cold bottled drink from the new drinks she had bought and stored in her fridge. She returned to the parlour to enjoy her meal.She picked up the television remote, switched on the TV, and tuned in to a romance movie channel.It was a seasonal movie, and they were showing the moment the female lead of the movie was being humiliated by her bridegroom's family.Nancy loved the movie and she got engrossed in watching it as she slowly ate her m
Mrs. Aria was all smiles as she was a senior staff, and she was dressed in a black coat and a white top underneath, along with a black straight skirt and white shoes."Welcome, Sophia," she greeted Nancy, who usually arrived by 7:30 am, before the company's starting time at 8 am."Good morning," Nancy replied, wondering if she had arrived late."Am I late?" Nancy asked, flashing Mrs. Aria a beautiful smile."No, dear, just a minute to go. But even if you arrive late, it will only result in a deduction from your monthly income, not termination," Mrs. Aria reassured her, and Nancy smiled in relief."Thanks for the info," Nancy said."You're welcome. I can see that you're looking better today," Mrs. Aria commented on Nancy's simple attire and bright face, to which Nancy replied, "Thank you."Nancy arranged her seat properly, knowing that the cleaners in the company usually cleaned all the office seats and desks before the staff arrived. But she took out her own duster to still wipe her se
Nancy didn't know that CEO Jerry wasn't even eating his own lunch yet. She was so engrossed with her food that she didn't know he was watching her.Not until she wanted to eat her fried chicken laps, she saw him staring at her, and he hadn't even eaten the spoonful in his hand yet.Nancy became shy and wondered why he hadn't started eating yet. She asked him, "Anything wrong?"CEO Jerry smiled friendly at her and replied, "No, actually. I love the way that you eat your meal, so elegantly.""Mmm," Nancy smiled and muttered to him, "Thank you."Nancy used her fork and knife to slice the chicken elegantly and ate it. She loves food, so she was always focused when eating her meal and she usually didn't talk when eating too.CEO Jerry finally resumed eating his meal as he saw they still had about 30 minutes left for lunch period to be over, and he ate his meal exquisitely too.Nancy finished her meal first and took a bottle of water instead of the drinks set on the dinner table. She drank f
Mrs. Aria could not believe what Nancy said about not being interested in CEO Jerry. She assumed that probably Nancy was only just forming or showing off since Nancy was cute.She already knew it was either Nancy who was after CEO Jerry to make CEO Jerry fall for her. Or CEO Jerry too was after Nancy, as she was very beautiful.Mrs Aria decided to mind her business for the rest of the day.After Jeffrey Holdings closed by 6 pm. Nancy stood up from her office seat and she backpacked her handbag to leave for home."Bye ma," Nancy said to Mrs Aria who was also packing up her handbag to leave."Yeah Sophia, bye," Mrs Aria replied with a smile and she watched Nancy walk away.Nancy was out from the company building, and just then, she saw Henry arrive in his car and he parked ahead and waved to her to come.Nancy walked over to where he had packed outside of the company gate, and she greeted him, "Good evening""Good evening Sophia, I arrived on time due to the road was busy," Henry said,
Mr. Tobe was also leaving the restaurant as he wanted to make his way out to deliver meals to other customers who had ordered their meals online, and he met Nancy as she walked in to find a seat."Oh, Miss Sophia, I wasn't expecting to see you here," he smiled at Nancy, and she smiled back at him."Good evening, it seems the restaurant is filled. I just decided to stop by and have my dinner here, instead of ordering it at home, as I feel Jeffery Holdings isn't far from here," Nancy said, and Tobe smiled at her, "Of course. There are still a lot of empty seats there, go over to that section."He pointed to some rows of empty seats ahead, and Nancy smiled at him and replied, "Thank you. But I will be here tomorrow, so you can give me a good treat.""Surely, I will be expecting your visit," Mr. Tobe said with a broad smile on his face, and he finally walked away.Nancy smiled and made her way towards the empty seats that were available, and she saw that more customers were arriving at the
Mr. and Mrs. Alejandro frowned, and his father finally spoke, "It's okay, Charles, besides, your mother only wants the best for you.""Hmm...," Charles didn't counter what his father said and he kept quiet."You know, with what that young lady did, we still need the media to clear up the fact that you have nothing to do with the Marlon family again, and you're also no longer interested in their daughter either. Like your mother has discussed this with me and I think it's the best decision for now," President Nolan spoke, and Charles met his gaze."I know, dad, but I cannot cancel my trip. Arya will have to wait, or she can as well spend some time here with mother, and when I'm finally back, we can get to meet."Charles didn't want to refute the fact that he wasn't interested in Arya or getting to know her, so as not to raise his parents' suspicion. After a while, his father asked him, "So when will you be back?"Charles was silent for a while, and although he told his parents that he w
Charles was dumbfounded; it had been a long time since he visited Grandma Madison, and he was still 20 years old, a young guy then."Ma..." Charles was unable to speak, but Allison quickly interfered."Mama, that silly young lady rejected brother at the altar, and she dared to dump him too," Allison said."Why, Charles... what did you do to wrong her?" Grandma Madison asked Charles, as she stared at her handsome grandson's face. She had always known that Charles was stubborn and very fond of women."I didn't wrong her, Mama, and I promise to bring her back," Charles said. He could see his grandma smile at him and she replied, "Okay. I will be expecting to see her.""Okay, Mama," Charles stood up, but Allison quickly asked him, "Are you serious, brother?""About what?" Charles pretended and asked her. She gulped and stared back at her two cousin sisters who were crushing on Charles, as he was so tall and masculine. She asked, "Are you serious about bringing the lady that dumped you at t
