"Andrew, you son of a bitch. Are you happy now?" Pete's eyes were red as he fumed. Andrew was upset. He needed to reach the company before Mr Collins. His anger rose when he saw that it was Pete and returned the blow twice, Pete was seeing stars. "Don't come to my house and cause problems again." Andrew's voice was stern as he hissed. Pete wiped a little blood in the corners of his mouth while he laughed in mockery. "Your house? You should be ashamed. This is Susan's house. Instead of destroying people's relationships, why don't you find yourself a job? Oh, I remember. You want to start a business. Lies," Pete roared, his rage exploding as he dashed towards Andrew with speed but the latter dodged, Pete was knocked over the dining table, groaning in pain. "Get out of my house. I don't have time for you." Andrew didn't bother to help him up and went around to open the door for him. Not only was he late but also had to get back earlier to get the house cleaned before Susan returns. He
Everyone who received the message was already waiting in anxiety. The CEO had been away for months, only arriving this morning. He also sent the email directly and not via his secretary and the tone was urgent. Andrew removed his contact lens before getting closer. There wasn’t much he could do about his hair. They were also surprised to see him poorly dressed. He looked good but the clothes weren’t of any luxury brand, which was surprising. Andrew Crown only wore luxury brands so what exactly happened?As expected, Greg tamed the situation before Andrew reached them. “Gentlemen, Mr Crown pdoesn’t have time. You should settle in the conference room now,” he informed the directors who had come to welcome Andrew. The shareholders were already seated.They nodded in agreement and began to head to the conference room. Greg went ahead and hugged Andrew, patting him on the back. “It’s good to see you again, let’s get you changed.”“Get someone to give Pete, the pilot, and bodyguard some br
“I have to get go, I need to clean the house before Susan gets back,” Andrew proudly announced while changing back to the clothes he wore before. Greg was spellbound. Andrew didn't only learn how to cook, but also clean. Maybe Greg heard Andrew wrongly.“What did you say?” Greg pretended to be lost but Andrew saw through his amateur scheme.“Do you have a problem with it?” he questioned sarcastically. Greg composed himself. He dared not say anything against this Susan and rather said,“No. I just want you to approve these new documents. Some changes will have to be made because of the change of shareholders. I will be in my office to sort out the rest.” He began to stride to the door quickly to escape opposition. Andrew sat back in his executive swivel chair, took a closer look at the documents, and recalled something. “Check our real estate firm if they have a need for an architect.” Greg stopped in his tracks, the meaning of Andrew’s words caving in. Andrew had a lot in store for
Andrew wasn't a liar. His disguise was the only reason he had to do it sometimes. Knowing that she wasn't well and also hurting, he felt depressed. Perhaps, he should just tell her everything, since he didn't see a way around this. “I…”BeepBeepIt was Susan's phone. She turned around and picked it up on the dining table. Seeing the caller, she felt conflicted but answered it anyway.“Pete, it's alright. I saw you driving out of my house and wanted to ask if you saw Andrew but he's here,” Susan spoke plainly. There was no hint of the sadness and betrayal she felt earlier. She just wasn't destined to be with a man and Andrew just proved it.Pete had been spying on Andrew, when he decided to not hang up the phone. He didn't know that Andrew would be in such a mess. Since Andrew had promised to help him after he did the right thing, he also thought of how to get Andrew out of the mess he was in. If Andrew revealed himself right now, he would be too busy to help him out. At the thought
As soon as Pete drove to his apartment after speaking to Andrew on the phone, he knew that the problem between Andrew and Susan had been resolved. He had intentionally refused to answer every call from the office, including that of his business girlfriend, Candice, who was furious and disturbed. It was already a painful matter for his inability to see Charlotte and wanted it all to end. He missed her and regretted jeopardizing their relationship.As soon as Pete entered his room, Candice barged in. She had been waiting eagerly since he hadn't shown up in the office and wasn't answering her calls. Was he stupid to get back with Charlotte? Candice wanted to know. Her usual sweetness didn't follow her, and anger gushed through her, she seethed,“Do you want to lose your job? Why weren't you in the office? You know that you don't qualify for the position of MD and only got it because of me. If this ever happens again, you'll get fired. For now, I created an excuse for you to my dad and he
Pete woke up earlier than usual, took a taxi, and went to Charlotte’s house. He was surprised to see a familiar car parked in front of the house beside Charlotte’s and grew apprehensive.“What is Candice doing here?” He asked no one in particular, while he paid the taxi driver, alighted, and began to walk towards the car. Suddenly, he stopped when he saw Charlotte coming out of the gate and began walking toward her car.He deliberated whether or not to go to her and make his intentions known but before he could decide, the woman in the familiar car stepped out and walked up to Charlotte. If he got close too, Charlotte might think that they came together, thereby hiding behind Candice's car.“You shameless whore, where is Pete?” Candice yelled at Charlotte when she got close to her. Candice just wanted to be sure that Pete wasn't around to see or rescue Charlotte but Charlotte didn't know that. Her face dulled with confusion but she was also upset. How could she have known that lettin
“It was just as you predicted. Candice sent thugs after Charlotte. She must be mentally deranged like you guessed,” Greg began to explain. When the spies he had planted around Charlotte per Andrew's instruction called to inform him, he was greatly disturbed. Andrew didn't want Susan to be worried about anything but this happened, which meant that Susan was going to hear about it and get worried. Greg took it upon himself to inform Andrew first, just so that he'd be prepared.“And?” Andrew didn't just want to hear about the problem but the solution as well. Greg instantly regained himself and explained further.“Pete tried to save her and got hit by a bullet. He's in the hospital.”“How could you let that happen? Where is Charlotte?” Andrew was angry and yelled, forgetting that Susan was just a wall away. If Susan heard about this, she’ll spend all her time in the hospital with her friends.“Charlotte is with Pete at the hospital,” Greg lowered his head and said. He had failed Andrew
Andrew wrapped his arms around her and whispered, “calm down, Susan, I won't allow anyone to take you away from me.”Susan's face was still buried in his chest while she yelled, “then tell them to get out!”Andrew pulled away and cupped her face in his hands. He looked into her eyes helplessly. “I can't. They are your parents.” For as long as they didn't try to abuse her, how could he tell them to leave? Besides, they were his future in-laws. Susan’s thoughts were rather contradictory.“So you want me to marry another man? Do you even love me?” She muffled her teary face with a bitter laugh. Andrew couldn't tell that she didn't understand his words.“I'm not asking you to marry another man. I am just asking you to relax and speak to them sensibly.”Andrew walked her to the sofa after saying that and brought her a cup of hot coffee. Susan felt flustered. She allowed her emotions to control her senses but wondered how Andrew could read her emotions like that. His intelligence scared he
