Her heart was beating rapidly after that phone call with Devlin. How did he know about her number? It has been years. And now, he reappears in her life? For what? Why would he even contact her in the first place? To take his revenge again just like what he did last time? ‘Five long freaking years. And here she is, still affected by him. How can she not move on from him?,It’s her fault anyway. She never entertained those men who showed interest in her. There is one who consistently has been asking her for a date. Jacob’s best friend, Elijah. However, she could not bring herself to go out with anyone. She tried going out with Elijah. But those were just friendly dinners for her with their friends who tagged along. She never sees Elijah on a romantic level. After what happened with Devlin, she could not bring herself to trust any man in her life. Not even Elijah who always shows understanding and patience.She almost forgot about him. Elijah would be there. Last time they had a conve

Jillian laughed softly while eyeing her friend who seemed annoyed about what she just told her. “I mean, why not Elijah? It is time for you to give yourself a chance at love. And whoever hurt you before, it was his loss. Look at you right now. You built a huge company successfully all by yourself. Not to mention that you are such a beautiful woman. Of course, men would really fall for you. But it seems like you have other things in your head.” Jillian can be really brutally honest at times. But she likes that quality in her. “I am not interested. I am not really looking for anyone right now. I don’t even have time to hang out with you.” She reasoned out, hoping that her friend would stop talking about men. She is not desperate to be in a relationship. Being alone does not mean that she is lonely. It was her choice and she was happy with it.“Hmmm… something is telling me that you are hiding something?” Jillian and all her wild imaginations.‘What are you talking about?” Amber acted

Everyone gave Amber a big round of applause when she went to the stage to receive her award. Everyone saw a confident woman with a big smile on her face. Deep inside, Amber was actually nervous and excited. Nervous that all eyes were on her. Also, Devlin has been intently watching her since earlier. It added more to her nervousness. “Thank you so much. I would like to dedicate this award to my grandmother who could not make it tonight. This award means a lot to me and to everyone who works with me to make me reach where I am right now. For everything that I have been through to get here, it was all worth it. I would like to thank all the employees of AA Blossoms for all their hard work. With this award, it inspires me to strive harder. Expect that we will give you the best that our company can offer. Thank you so much everyone. Enjoy your night!” She slightly raised her plaque to show to everyone.When she got downstairs, Devlin was there standing waiting for her and escorted her to

Devlin has been regularly visiting Amber in her office for five straight working days now. He already got the attention of everyone in the company. Amber wanted to ban Devlin from coming to her company but that would get more attention from her employees and the media. She decided to face him with complete indifference. For the last few days, she has been trying hard to act casually with him. She tried to put in her head that Devlin is just one of her clients. However, as days went by, she could not believe that her hatred towards him slowly waned down.Devlin didn’t back down despite all her cold treatment towards him. And she has to admit it, that the walls she built around her are slowly breaking down. Every time he comes to her office, he would just talk casually to her about his day. What he did in his meetings and other things. And at night, he always invites her to dinner. Right now, it’s a Friday night. They are waiting for their order to be served. They are dining in a Jap

Devlin entered the kitchen to check on Amber and her grandmother. As he approached the door, he noticed that they were both crying and embracing each other tightly. Understanding the need for privacy during such an emotional moment, Devlin quietly stepped back and left them alone, giving them the space they needed.After concluding his conversation with the hired bodyguard he got for marmee, Devlin felt relieved that things were going well. He was grateful that he could protect Amber and her grandmother from the troubles he was facing. Despite his efforts, he still hadn’t been able to uncover the mastermind behind the incident that caused his company’s downfall five years ago. During his pursuit of justice, two employees from his company had bravely spoken up against the mastermind, but tragically, both ended up dead in jail after being poisoned.The police released a list of suspects, and surprisingly, one of them was Devlin’s own brother due to their past disagreements. However, af
