In no time, she was done signing the contract. Lisa went downstairs with the original copy and duplicated it into two. She gave the photocopy to Caroline while the original was kept by Ayden. “Congratulations Miss Caroline. We will be waiting for some good news from you.” Ayden stood up as he spoke.“Of course. We will start supplying as soon as possible.” Caroline felt like jumping up but she couldn’t else it appeared to be weird to their faces. “I’ll be taking my leave then.” She said and with that, she took her leave.After she left, Lisa leaned over and asked. “She’s gorgeous. The boss has a good shot as a beautiful woman. But why didn’t want her to know he owned the company?” Ayden was just as confused as her but since it was August orders, he dare not pry on it.“Go back to work Lisa.” He waved her off.Seeing his expression wasn’t welcoming, she could only swallow what she wanted to say before walking off to continue her work.On the other hand, Caroline left the company and

Then again, August was all by himself, gnashing his teeth tightly and also clenching his fist. He had made the one person he cared so much about in the world cry. The woman who didn’t see him less even as his fate was tied to a wheelchair. The same person he had sworn to protect and never to make cry, and yet, he did it today. Was it wrong for him to have kept his identity from her? But even still, if he had told her, would she have believed him? After all, he was found on the street by her family. Would she have believed it if he told her he was the captain of the dragon regiment? It wouldn’t make sense at all to her. That was why he wanted to wait for the perfect time before telling her. He also had enemies around. He didn’t want her to get caught up in it, but it seemed there was nothing he could do. Ezra and Tom had to be a pain in the ass. They were supposed to protect her, but those dumb fools only wanted to protect her from him. Does that even make sense? Who knows, Mr. bl

August raised a brow at her but didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at the manager and spoke.“Why don’t you call the guards back and have them drag her out?” He suggested.“Okay, sure.” The manager replied. After all, she was tired of her. Not just today, there have been several reports of her being rude to customers and adding lots of percentages on actual sales. The manager had been enduring this but not anymore. It had become too much.“Guards!” She yelled and the two men who had scurried away just now came running back.“Drag this lady out quickly.” She ordered.“Please, I can’t lose my job. I promise I will never be rude again. Please give me another chance. Please!” The attendant kept pleading, tears rolling down her eyes, but he didn’t care.Wasn’t she the same person who was insulting him just now and acting like the world was revolving around her? Now he had turned the tables around. Did she dare to be smug around him?“Mr. August, can we talk in my office please?” The

“If he didn’t cheat on you, then what did he do?” Rachel inquired, her eyes holding curiosity.“He—“ Caroline rolled her eyes, contemplating. She remembered how August stood for her, fought for her company, and made sure she got compensated for all the losses she incurred. If not for him, she wouldn’t be the one controlling the company, and all what had happened would have swallowed it whole. Indeed, he wasn’t the bad guy, but then she needed an explanation for all this.“It’s not that serious, mom, don't worry about it.” She said after a while but Rachel saw it like it was too heavy for her to spill out. She smiled and took her hand into hers. “I understand. You don’t have to explain.” She caressed Caroline’s palm as she spoke, making her see the raw emotions in her eyes.“Thank you mom.” Caroline was touched, she drew in and hugged her tightly. Even though Rachel was her mom, she would rather not reveal what she found out about August, at least not yet. She would let August tell t

Meanwhile, August was seated in his office planning how he was going to explain things to Caroline and then take her to the house he had just bought. He had made up his mind. From now on, he won't hide anything from her. No more secrets, nothing. Not only would it strengthen their bond, but it would give room for him to show how much he trusted her and how she meant a lot to him. From how her message sounded to him, he could tell she hadn’t fully rejected him. This gave him the thrill he had never felt before. He was feeling like rushing over to the Winston villa just to get this over with and also get to inhale her scent.Ding!Just then, a message popped in. He looked and after seeing it was from Caroline, his smile brightened. However, after he had read through the content, he frowned.“What the?” He nearly cursed but stopped midway.Caroline was headed to the Sky Loft Hotel. For what? His brows creased wondering what it might be about. Since she asked for him, he could sense s
