Nina was shocked when she found her dream company was far from reality, especially because of Nathan, her boss. That man always give Nina a hard time! However, Nina noticed something unusual about him. When she had to work overtime, Nathan suddenly greets her warmly and pull a tension between them. Their bond getting deeper at the point they have to keep it as a secret..... So, would Nina survive the relationship that full of intrigue?
View MoreThat morning, Nina went to the office with a different vibe. This time, she left her husband's residence. At first, Nathan invited her to leave together, but Nina refused because, as their grandfather had requested, their marriage still had to be kept a secret.After finishing breakfast with Nathan, Nina left first with Emmy. This time, there was something different about the young woman's appearance. She usually went to the office wearing only a shirt and a short skirt, but this time, she wore a blazer suit and a short ivory skirt, her favorite color. Her long hair was dressed in a French braid style, which was very elegant and charming.A few moments after Nina left, Nathan departed with his assistant, Bill. Nathan had wanted to go with his beloved wife and introduce her proudly to all Wils staff and employees; this was Mrs. Nathan. But he still had to suppress that desire to obey his grandfather's orders.Nathan didn't know what his grandfather told him to keep his marriage a secre
"Who are your parents? Is your father also a businessman?" asked Wilson's grandfather while looking at Nina; Nathan immediately embraced his silent wife and rubbed his wife's shoulders gently. Nathan knew that Nina was very sensitive to the issue."'Her mother is Katherine Thompson,'" Nathan said, "one of the most famous chefs in the country."Grandpa Wilson's gaze shifted to Nathan, "I was asking your wife, Tan. Why are you answering?""Grandpa, my wife and I are one. My voice is my wife's voice, and my wife's voice is my voice, isn't that right, love?" Nathan looked lovingly at his wife. Nina smiled and nodded."That's okay, my king. Grandpa wants me to answer." Nina looked at Grandpa Wilson calmly, and she had regained control of herself."Mom is Katherine Thompson from Michigan, moved to New York after marriage." Nina sighed repeatedly. "But now Mom is resting with God due to an accident a few years ago." Nina's voice choked, her beautiful eyes filled with tears. Nathan immediate
Nathan's face turned gloomy, although it was not too obvious, and Nina could feel and see it clearly. It was just that Nathan immediately covered everything with a smile. He answered casually what his uncle's wife asked.Mrs. Evelyn, who was Christy's mother, asked him about his grandfather's response to his marriage, as it was no secret in Nathan's extended family that he had contracted a marriage with Sonya, the granddaughter of his grandfather's best friend.Nathan was silent for a while before he finally smiled. "It's OK, auntie, everything is fine. Now that the contract with the Charter family is over, tomorrow, before heading back to NYC, I'll take my wife to meet Grandpa."Neither Christy nor her mother noticed the change in Nathan's demeanor, but Nina didn't. She felt Nathan was covering something up, but she wasn't going to ask about it in front of Christy and her mother, so Nina tried to smile despite the nervousness in her heart."Grandpa only looks hard and cruel, but he's
"What, Grandpa, is it still a secret?" said Nathan in surprise, looking at his grandfather in confusion. Originally, he had kept the marriage a secret to prevent Sonya from thwarting him, and now Nathan felt there was no need to keep it a secret. But why was his grandfather asking him to keep it a secret?"Yes, keep it a secret. I have a plan." Grandpa Wilson replied casually."What plan, Grandpa?" asked Nathan curiously. Grandpa Wilson turned to Nathan, then looked away again, staring straight ahead."When planning your wedding, including doing tricks for Sonya, did you tell this older man?" Grandpa Wilson said indifferently."Oh, so Grandpa has a revenge story?" Mike said."Whatever you want to say.""All right, Grandpa. I'll play your game. But remember, don't disturb my lady because she is my life. To disturb her is to disturb Nathan. I will never hesitate to oppose anyone who dares to disturb my beloved."Nathan immediately rises to his feet, as does Mike. "Excuse me, Grandpa. M
"What? She said my grandson is an impotent man?" Mr. Wilson asked with a flushed face, and it insulted him to say his offspring was impotent."Well, there you have it, Grandpa," Mike said."Is it true, Tan? Are you sure Sonya said that?" Mr. Wilson was still not convinced that his best friend's granddaughter Sonya would insult his offspring like that."That's right," Nathan replied with a nod, "she told my wife that herself before we got married.""So, your wife and Sonya knew each other?""Well, she knew my Nina but didn't know Nina was my wife," Nathan said with a smile."What does that mean?" asked Mr. Wilson, confused. Nathan sighed; he glanced at Mike, who nodded in return. Mike then told the story of Nina Evans, a young CEO of a growing company. One day, Sonya, running out of money due to a gambling loss, auctioned off some of her shares in Wils, and Nina bought them.Since then, Sonya has gotten to know Nina; she tries to get close to Nina, she also tells her that Nathan is her
"Conditions? What conditions?" asked Mr. Wilson, confused; he looked at his grandson, barely blinking, as did Mr. Carter; he had expected the possibility that Nathan would not be willing, even if he wanted to, it would be because he had to because Nathan really could not refuse his grandfather's request.Nathan reached for the glass and took a sip of his drink; he sighed and then looked at his grandfather and Mr. Carter in turn."If you want me to train your grandson, some conditions must not be violated," Nathan said as he looked directly at Mr. Carter."Tell me," Mr. Carter said."First, Bob must listen to my words, whatever I say. Remember, I don't like to be contradicted," said Nathan."Secondly?" asked Mr. Carter."Secondly, he must be disciplined, strong-willed, determined, and not complain." Nathan paused for a moment; he looked straight at Mr. Carter, who was listening to him."And the third thing you need to underline is that there should be no family interference, whether yo
"Wait!"Mr. Wilson exclaimed, surprising Nathan, Mike, and Mr. Carter. All three of them stared at the grandfather and waited for what Nathan's grandfather would say next. Mr. Wilson gave Nathan a sharp look, but Nathan was not affected at all. His face remained calm. He was ready for anything."Married, you say? Is it that easy for you to talk about marriage? Do you think marriage is a game?" said Mr. Wilson as he looked at Nathan, but Nathan responded with a smile."Who said marriage was a game, Grandpa? Wasn't it these grandfathers who made marriage a game in the first place by making fake marriage contracts?"Nathan's words were spoken casually and adorned with a smile, but they were sarcastic and sharp. Mr. Wilson's face darkened, but he couldn't say anything because what his grandson said was true. Fortunately, Nathan was so devoted that he was willing to take it for granted, even though the contract cost him dearly and tormented him.As for Mr. Carter, the man looked down, unab
"Shut up! Can you be serious!" snapped Mr. Wilson, his face turning serious. As Nathan and Mike's laughter stopped, they stared at each other. Suddenly, Mr. Wilson's face warmed; he remembered all the old times in that big house.The house was always crowded; he and his wife ordered their children, children-in-law, and grandchildren to gather every weekend. They cooked and ate together, and the children played together.Nathan and Mike were always making a scene. Sometimes, they fought but then laughed out loud. Even at the dinner table, they would make a lot of noise, and only their grandfather's yelling would keep them quiet.Now that they had grown up and each had their own life, they lived far away in other cities. The big house became quiet, just him and the maids. Occasionally, his granddaughters, children, and in-laws would come by, but not as intensively as before.Nathan and Mike knew what their grandfather was thinking. They both stood up and approached him, each patting him
"Hey, old fart. What's wrong with your face? This late in life, still can't make peace with life?" teased Mr. Will with a smile as he took a sip of the Conti wine the butler had just poured.Mr. Carter sighed; the man also took a sip of whisky from his glass and then looked at his friend. "You can easily say that your children and grandchildren are successful, fulfilling all your expectations. But that doesn't apply to me."There was bitterness in Mr. Carter's words. Because the behavior of his children and grandchildren was still far from his expectations, in his elderly age, he still did not recognize the word retirement."Well, Nathan is the only one I can rely on. Mike is a bit unruly; he only wants to do what he likes.""But Mike is successful with his law firm, right?""Yes, he is. It's his chosen field, and I'm just challenging him to prove the results of his chosen field. And as for the law firm, it was Nathan's hand in it, too." Mr. Wilson smiled; there was a sense of pride i
