Nolan and Gabriel were both watching everything that was happening, and the more they watched, the harder it became for them to hide their irritation. They couldn’t stop themselves from glaring at Fiona, who was still talking nonstop and smiling like nothing was wrong, she was completely glued to James as if Cole didn’t even exist. They honestly didn’t understand why Cole liked her so much. They had said it so many times, Gabriel especially. He had told Cole countless times that Fiona wasn’t the type of girl for him, that she didn’t value him, she didn’t treat him well and that she didn’t even like him the way he hoped. It was too obvious and anyone with eyes could see it. But for some reason, Cole just couldn’t see past his feelings. He was still stubborn and still insisting that Fiona was the one he wanted.Even James had figured it out and It didn’t even take long for him to. The way Cole was acting, the way he looked at Fiona and way he was trying so hard to warn her and protect

I don’t think you made the right decision with the kind of boyfriend you have,” Cherry said, turning fully to face Debby. Her lips curled slightly as she spoke, looking very irritated,Debby’s face burned with embarrassment and anger at the same time. She couldn’t even believe what was happening at the moment and everything felt unreal. The Nolan she was seeing right now was not matching the Nolan she had heard about before. It wasn’t correlating at all.All the stories Gabriel had told her about Nolan were good things, respectful things, things that made her believe Nolan was different. But now? She didn’t know anymore. She didn’t know if she should trust Gabriel again or if he had been lying all through and maybe not just about Nolan alone… maybe about himself too.That thought alone made her chest feel tight as she was really torn and disturbed. Her eyes stayed on Nolan but her mind was all over the place, confused and unsettled.“It’s clear that Nolan just lied to all of us to sav

Nolan brought out his phone calmly and typed a message to Elizabeth. He told her that he didn’t want to speak to the managing director again and that this time, he wanted to speak directly to the chairman of the company, who happened to be James’s father. He didn’t even know how possible that would be because the man was known to be very busy and almost unreachable, but he still wanted to believe that Elizabeth would find a way to make it happen. He trusted her more than anyone when it came to things like this.A few seconds later, Elizabeth replied with a thumbs up emoji. That alone was enough to make Nolan smile slightly to himself. He knew he could trust her and that she wouldn’t fail him, especially not in a situation like this.“What’s so funny?” Cherry snapped immediately when she noticed the smile on his face. “And what exactly is making you smile like that? I’m asking you to call the chairman right now, not smile and waste time.”“That’s exactly what I’m doing,” Nolan replied

As soon as Nolan texted Elizabeth, she didn't waste a second and sprang into action immediately. She tried to reach out to the secretary that worked directly for the chairman of Natural Baby. She dialed the number once, then again, but it was futile because the line wasn't going through. Elizabeth sighed, worried as she didn’t expect this outcome.She knew the secretary personally because they had crossed paths several times in the past when both of them had to attend meetings together. The woman was never happy and anyone who worked closely with the chairman knew that the job of being his secretary was nothing but a death trap. It wasn't just stressful, but was also mentally and emotionally draining. There was no peace in it at all.Elizabeth remembered having a conversation with the secretary one time. She had asked her why she would settle for such a job when it was obvious that it was destroying her. The secretary had only laughed bitterly and said she didn't have a choice and ne

“That can't be possible. There's no way Mr Lancaster would do this,” the managing director yelled angrily. “He promised us to be right by our side till the very end and no matter what happens, our partnership would remain forever. He can't just pull out now. This is unacceptable.”His voice was loud as he panicked but Elizabeth didn't care. Instead, her expression hardened and her grip on the phone tightened.“The next time you yell at me again, you lose your position and your job,” Elizabeth said sternly. “My team and I are already running the necessary background checks on you right now, and let me tell you, the things I’m seeing are things that, when they make the news headlines, nobody would ever think of buying any Natural Baby products again.”She heard the managing director take a deep breath, then another. She could almost picture him swallowing hard on the other side of the line.“I… I… I’m sorry, Miss Elizabeth,” he said finally, his voice much lower now. “But what can we do
