View MoreCarla Christine POV- After the woman broke away from the hug, I couldn’t avoid looking at her from head to toe.I don’t think we’re that far apart in age; however, the woman looks more sophisticated than me. Her long black straight hair accentuates the whiteness of her skin. She looks comes from a rich family and looks like she has a jolly personality.“Is this your new house?” The woman asked Yuichi with a smile on her face.“How did you find this?” Yuichi asked the woman.“Don’t underestimate what I can do, especially my love for you, Yuichi.”Love? Wow!? They flirt here in front of me. In front of his wife?Until I noticed the woman looking at me. She stared at me for a few seconds before turning her gaze back to Yuichi.“Who is she? She’s a new face in my eyes,” the woman asked curiously.Yuichi glanced at me before answering the woman’s question. “She’s nobody.”I
CARLA CHRISTINE POV-“HAHAHAHAHAHA!”We all looked at Edward after he laughed, and his voice dominated the entire set.When Edward looked at us—at Yuichi, to be exact—he stopped laughing and took a deep breath. “Rachel told a joke. Sorry for the inconvenience.”Rachel gave Edward a sharp look.“What a possessive friend.” Laughing Lance commented it was just a whisper that only the three of us heard, for sure.If I didn’t know that Lance knew the truth about Yuichi and I’s relationship, I would believe that Lance believed in Yuichi’s friend thing.“This shoot is over,” Yuichi said firmly.I was on the verge of refusing because it’s embarrassing if the shoot is stopped just because Yuichi wants it, but when the photographer announced it was a wrap and I could leave because the shoot was over, I expressed gratitude to him and everyone.Suddenly, Yuichi pulled me into my dressing room and locked it.“Hurry and change your clothes,” Yuichi said.I’m wearing a red one-piece swimsuit covere
Carla Christine POV-Rachel and I both looked at each other and, gave each other a hesitant smile.With Rachel’s reaction, I’m sure, like me, she didn’t notice the last condition in the contract we signed.“The talent fee is the only thing I’m looking at,” Rachel whispered.“Same.” I also whispered back to her.“There’s no denying that you two are cousins.” Edward said, then took the contract Rachel, and I were holding.The five of us are here in the dressing room to talk to Yuichi and then show him the contract we signed.Earlier when Lance was making Yuichi choice, Yuichi’s head got so hot that he couldn’t stop himself from punching Lance. Meanwhile, Yuichi agreed with me by asking us to talk first.When Edward gave Yuichi a copy of our contract, Yuichi read it silently until he got to the last page.“As you can see Yuichi, it’s written there—”“I can read and understand e
Carla Christine POV-I CLOSE my eyes when I hear how hard Rachel slaps Edward.With the force of that slap, I feel like slap penetrated my whole body. How could Edward have received that slap?I looked at Edward. For the first time I saw that there was no joy in his eyes and his jolly demeanor was gone.Edward stared into Rachel’s eyes.“Just leave my presence and maybe I can do something else to you, you jerk,” Rachel ordered.Edward looked at me first. “I’m going outside, ma’am. Just call me when you need me.”I nodded in surprise. Even Edward’s lively and teasing voice I couldn’t see or feel at this moment.When Edward came out of the dressing room, I approached Rachel. “What... What was that?” I stammered.As soon as we entered the dressing room, Rachel slapped Edward four times on both cheeks.“That jerk is my ex boyfriend. We had a secret relationship for five years. T
Carla Christine POV-THE NEXT DAY, I bear the pain in my body from what Yuichi did last night. If my work has not yet started today, I wouldn’t force myself to get up and clean myself up.When I went down to the living room, I saw Dylan sitting while reading the newspaper.“Dylan,”When I called him, he stood up and bowed a little. I think that is a sign of respect.“Is your shoulder okay?” I ask, out of concern.“Yes, ma’am. It’s just a bullet wound. It’s not fatal.”How Dylan said that, it was like he just tapped his shoulder. What did he think of himself as an immortal person?“I’m leaving—”“Damn this shit!”Dylan and I looked at the source of Yuichi’s voice at the same time as the noises of what I thought were pots falling.We went inside the kitchen and there we saw Edward holding a fire extinguisher while extinguishing the fire coming from a pan.“It
Carla Christine POV-Five days passed after Yuichi was discharged and he caught me trying to escape. He became elusive to me, he couldn’t even look at me. A whole day goes by that I don’t see him in this mansion. And, I think that’s okay for me.Other than that, security was tight throughout the mansion. There are not only security guards at the gate, but also bodyguards throughout the mansion.With the number of bodyguards in the entire mansion, it seems like I don’t have enough fingers to count all the bodyguards here. The good thing is that Yuichi did not allow the bodyguards to enter this floor except for the five friends he trusted.After putting on a lip balm that has a peach color, I stood up then took my bag and left the room.Exactly when I came out of the room, I saw Dylan.“Where are you going?” Dylan asked, approaching me.“I have something important to do.” I answered sparingly.“Where? Does boss Yuichi know this?” Dylan asked one after the other.How will he know where
Carla Christine POV-“Who the fuck are you?!” Yuichi shouted.The man on the other line ended the call.Yuichi attempted to call that unknown number multiple times, but the number got lost.Yuichi’s eyes were burning with anger as he looked at me. “Who is that fucking man, Christine?”I want to let him know that even though I don’t know him but I feel like I swallowed my tongue and that I can’t talk.“Tell me!”Yuichi held my phone, and when we heard a little crack in my cell phone, I noticed Yuichi loosening his grip on the phone.He threw my phone at Dylan, who was now awake.“Have Blake find the owner of the damn phone number, as well as where the fucking owner of that phone number is. Bring that fucking man to me!”“Yes, boss.”I followed Dylan and begged him to look at me and take me to where he was going. But until he was out of my sight and the door was closed, I didn’t glimpse Dylan.“And, you.”Before I could look back at Yuichi, he grabbed my arm and walked me to the second
Carla Christine POV-Dylan took me to visit Yuichi. Arriving inside the private room, I sat on the sofa, where I could only see Yuichi.I was trembling to approach Yuichi. I am afraid of what I can do because of fear. Other than that, Astrid’s sharp look at me.“Ma’am, Christine!” Blake called.I smiled when Blake came and sat next to me.“It’s good that you visited boss Yuichi again,” Blake said cheerfully, with a smile.I smiled sparingly at Blake, then glanced at Yuichi.I went with Dylan to visit Yuichi, not because I wanted to see Yuichi. I just want to confirm something, and now that I have confirmed what I want to confirm, maybe I can do what I’m planning to do.“Are you all right?” Blake asked as I looked at him again.“What do you mean?”Blake’s innocent eyes looked at me for a few seconds, and then he also smiled. “I mean, how about being the CEO of boss Yuichi’s company? I think it’s hard to be the CEO of the YCC company.” Then he pouted his lips.“It’s okay,” I said. I di
Carla Christine POV-“Here’s some water, ma’am Christine.”I tried to accept the glass of water that Dylan was giving me, but I couldn’t take it after I saw that my hand was still shaking.Dylan quietly put down the glass of water on the table and sat down across from me.“May I know who the woman I ran into earlier is?”“That’s Rachel Avyana Cabrera, Rachel. My cousin.”A while ago, before Rachel even asked about it, I confessed to her it was a good thing that Dylan came and sent Rachel away. Dylan made the excuse that he needed to talk to me, which turned out to be true.“This company just lost eighty billion dollars.”I stared at Dylan.“The moment the investors saw me, they didn’t continue investing, and I didn’t even know anything about the boss’s company. I may not invade his belongings. That’s why I can’t tell them anything to continue their investment.” Dylan spoke calmly, and it seemed as if he was not worried about what he said.“Why are you telling me this? Didn’t I say ea
