[Brad p.o.v]I am the new owner of, Mr. Cheng’s company. I was here to introduce myself as the new owner. Mr. Cheng and I planned this formal introduction before his flight next week. I just visited the company earlier because I insisted on it.Actually, my real agenda was to visit and be familiar with the whole area. But then my plan suddenly changed last night.The company was now under my name so I guess I can do what I want because I am the law. So last night, I called Mr. Cheng to move my introduction today. And he immediately approved it. He was one of our family friends so he immediately agreed to what I wanted to happen.I scanned all the employees working in this company. But there’s only one person who I wanted to see, but I couldn’t find her. I knew that it was impossible because there were four to six hundred employees here so I could definitely vaguely see tha

[Brad P.O.V]Mr. Cheng really had a good sense of how to decorate his office. This is because it should be the first of all areas in the whole company that are in order. The office was my second home, so I had to feel comfortable while doing paperwork.The office had a combination of dark, gray, and white interior setup. All the small and big things were arranged properly in each area. There are even beautiful 3D paintings hanging on the wall. The big luxury table was placed in an open glass wall where you could see the busy streets.It had been a while since I was just planning to convince Mr. cheng to sell this company. I wanted to buy this so that my other companies could grow even more and then I got what I want. But he had a simple request like not to lay off the other employees. We had a deal, not everyone would stay, especially the managers, supervisors, etc in their respective positions. It's also

[Charmane P.O.V]I couldn't keep my son awake because it would be nine o'clock in the evening. Excessive traffic due to rush hour. So I just went to Sam's room and lay down next to him. I kissed his tiny little cheeks and forehead. I hugged him tenderly too.I really miss you, baby.“Mommy…” He was half awake when I hugged her.I smiled. My stress because of work and the traffic was gone. “Sshh… Close your eyes again, baby. Sleep tight. I love you…” I whispered. I caressed his head and then I sang a lullaby to him to fall asleep again.I I sighed.Baby, I saw him again— your Daddy. But he doesn’t know about you, baby. I don't know how to introduce you to him. How you can learn about each other. Will you be angry with me because I hid you from him? Will you hate Mommy if I don't want to introduce you to your daddy anymore?

I was startled by my friend's scream and touch. “U-Uhm, sshh… Don't scream, Gee. You are really embarrassing,” I said in a low tone."Ahh— S-sorry, Sir," he apologized to the person next to me.He barely nodded at Gee. Then he focused his stare at the closed elevator.“Charmane Cordova! You witch, I don't know much. Get ready later after our work. You are deceitful,” Gee whispered to me."I don't know what you're saying there," I whispered as well.“Oh, innocent?. Hmp! I'm mad at you. Don’t talk to me.” This gay was really upset and even made fun of me.I would have answered but the elevator opened. So, I needed to cut our conversation. I glanced at Gee. “Talk to you later…” I whispered, then I followed Mr. Hernandez.He immediately got inside his car without staring in my direction. I hesitated to get in his car. So I stopped and didn’t know

I would have left his office because being with him in his office made me feel uncomfortable. Most especially the way he glanced at me. It was always giving me damn feelings.I even overcame running non-stop along the highway. If I could just snatch out of his eyes, I would have done."Excuse me, Sir," I said goodbye to him, turning away."Wait, Miss Cordova," he said firmly, stopping me from coming out."Do you have anything else to order?" I turned around again but I wasn't glancing at his eyes.“Nothing. Don't leave first. Come here and join me with this coffee,” he said, still looking straight at me.I don't want that, the heat of the weather, to add even more the warmth of his gaze.“B-but, Sir, I still have work to do and finish my work. I just can’t join you,” I reasoned, even though it was true, I wasn’t really doing anything importan
