My eyes were fixed on the ground, unable to meet his.
I really should learn to control my tongue if I want to keep my work.
I waited for him to say something, but he remained silent, which only made me feel more nervous.
I raised my head gently, and we locked eyes.
He was looking directly at me, but I was unable to read his expression.
Then I noticed Derek pulling out his wallet and taking a few notes out of it.
He set the money down on the table.
Miss Beckett, I genuinely didn't want to see you again and I believed I wouldn't see you again.However, having done so, I feel that I should clarify that I am a CEO and have no other employment, so please return your $200.
I ingested.
That's right, he called me into his office to make it clear that he washes/phastitutes.
"I comprehend," I replied with a lighthearted grin.
I let out a sigh of relief.
We simply need to let the past bind us.D
Nothing happened that night, and we can...Before I could finish thinking, I witnessed him toss a $100 bill onto the table.
I looked at him, perplexed. x.
"You earned that $200 as a prize for last night.You see, it wasn't very good.That's the only amount of value.His words were sarcastic.
Enraged, I bit my bottom lip.
I only have $200 worth of value?
So Insensitive.
I tightened my fists and tried not to get angry. an
I forced myself to remember how much I needed this job.
I managed to pull a smile and accepted the $300.
"If it's the last six, then I'd like to go back to work." I then departed from his office.
Arabella arrived at my desk as soon as I returned to it.
"C"mon, young lady. He asked for you, but why? He said what? Tell me all about it." She nearly asked at the same moment.
"To tell me that he isn't a prostitute:" I replied with a sigh.
"And?" Sit [I can't possibly tell her that he approached me with the prostitute instead.
She laughed hysterically at me.)
I arrived at the Cromwell Hotel around 7 p.m. *Seraphina*.
I inhaled deeply as I got out of the vehicle and noticed how neatly people were moving along the hallway.
I carried my present as I entered as well.
The party coordinator did a fantastic job; everything was exquisitely adorned.
When I saw Uncle Everhart, I grinned.
"To Seraphina."With joy, he called.
"Happy birthday, Uncle Everhart."I held him and swooned.
"I am very happy that you could attend." He stated.
We moved apart from one another as I gave him his present.
"Oh, my dear, you're so considerate."
Grinning, I went to greet my mother, sister, and Celeste, Uncle Everhart's spouse.
Observing that your father had not yet arrived, I decided to make a
I get upset when I see him and his wisdom because it makes me reflect on the past and constantly try to avoid them.
Mom, I have a few things to catch up on, so I should get going.I exhaled and rose slowly to my feet.
A waiter was showing them the way to my seat, as I could see.
I tightened up and spoke softly to Celeste.
The question is, "Why can't they sit somewhere else?"
"Bella, this is the VIP table." She prompted.
I made an effort to hide my uneasiness as they took their seats.
I cast a quick glance towards Marigold Kendall, the one who destroyed my parents' union.
Jane Kendall, her daughter, was seated next to her. Her figure was flawless, making her like a goddess. However, it was rumoured that she had undergone numerous plastic surgery procedures.
So she seemed phoney to me.
As always, she had a lot of makeup on.
I'm curious whether anyone has ever seen her appearance.
My eyes fell on Derek, who appeared so carefree.
Neither did my father acknowledge my existence.
I decide to concentrate on the food in front of me instead.
They began conversing as I was eating.
"Alright, Evadne Rosalind is here. He is Miye's close friend's son. He recently took on the role of CEO, and I have no doubt that he will do business with us in the future. You ought to visit Kaow Hin.The sound of my father's words lulled.
He has a modest security company.
"Young lady, you hardly touched your meal, oh mo." As she gently nudged me to sit back, Fleanor replied
However...
"C"mon, you just arrived, and we have a significant visitor coming over."With whom is that?I inquired, piqued.
"He's Everhart's friend's son. That he's your mew boss, too, I heard. What was his name again? Whoa, Deadlan.
"How?!"I startled everyone at the table with my outburst.
Once more, it's Dec.
Why is everything ne?
Am I the only one who had a one-night fling?
Why is his presence torturing me?
Ahh!
We could say that, while my uncle was prosperous, he was not as wealthy as Derek.
Yes.
If they know someone like him, why is that?One Beford I spotted him entering the Yall with my father's family and decided to consider my next course of action.
No, no, no.
[Have to go...
I ought to, actually.
A waiter was showing them the way to my seat, as I could see.
I tightened up and spoke softly to Celeste.
The question is, "Why can't they sit somewhere else?"
"Bella, this is the VIP table." She prompted.

"Alright, Evadne Rosalind is here. He is Miye's close friend's son. He recently took on the role of CEO, and I have no doubt that he will do business with us in the future. The words "My father's voice rung the air" should be yours, Kaow Hin.
He has a modest security company.
It's good to meet you.Jane Kendall is my name.I'm hoping we learn more about one another.Jane spoke endearingly.
"Similarly." His reply was courteous.
"It's not like we have to be formal with each other?"
Jane enquired.
I gave an eye roll.
Already, I could see that she had feelings for him. When I looked up, Derek had already begun eating and was ignoring her.
Derek, might I please get your phone number? We may need to discuss some business in the future, you know."
"If you need to talk to me about anything, please get in touch with my secretary." Derek lost it.
She still persisted in bothering him in spite of that.
Seeing it was entertaining.
"Seraphina, are you going to continue pretending not to see me as you sit there? You're very impolite.I saw Marigold sak.
One sneered
I'm just doing my hardest to get through this evening, is that rude?
How come she always had to pick on me?
Thus? You are a rude young lady.
I scoffed."Observe who is speaking."
Are you really just sitting there, Nath, listening to your daughter disparage me?
My father appeared enraged right away."Now, Teresa, please apologise to her!"
I laughed.
I'm sorry, my foot!
