You did good
The pause between them was a living thing — thick, hot, ready to snap.Mrs. Evangelia’s finger tapped the lunch basket with deliberate impatience as she stared down at Gracie. “It’s better you listen to me when I ask nicely,” she said, each syllable oiled with condescension.Gracie’s jaw didn’t twitch. She tilted her head, the motion slow enough to be a challenge. “And what, exactly, are you going to do if I don’t?” she asked. Her voice was polite, but there was a steel rod of warning underneath it. The interns who had gathered nearby pretended not to listen, but their expressions showed otherwise — the safe sort of curiosity that only feeds spectacle.Mrs. Evangelia smiled without humor. “Make you regret it,” she said. “You don’t know who you’re playing with. I can make life very… uncomfortable.”Gracie didn’t lean away; she leaned in.Her breath was near enough for Mrs. Evangelia to feel it. Her tone dropped, not loud but close and precise. “Do you know who I’m dealing with?” she wh
Did you tell her anything?
Chapter 97The following morning, the atmosphere at Whitewater was unusually calm — that deceptive calm that comes before a storm. The glass building gleamed under the sun, the interns busied themselves preparing presentations, and the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee filled the open space.Andrea and Gracie were in one of the side offices, surrounded by sketches and files. Their focus was absolute; they were finalizing the concept presentation due later that afternoon. For once, it felt like everything was in balance — productive, quiet, almost peaceful.But that peace wasn’t meant to last.Downstairs, the security guards exchanged uncertain looks as an elegantly dressed woman in a pastel coat walked through the main doors, holding a basket of lunch boxes. Her perfume lingered like an expensive warning.“I’m here to see my son-in-law, Andrea,” the woman said, smiling with forced politeness. “I brought lunch for his team. I believe kindness keeps the workplace warm, don’t you?”The recept
You're Joking
The evening sky had turned an ominous shade of violet by the time Mrs. Evangelia stormed into Sofia’s mansion. Her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor, each step carrying the weight of frustration and wounded pride. The servants, who knew better than to look her in the eye when she was in this mood, quickly disappeared into corners, pretending to busy themselves with meaningless chores.Sofia descended the staircase gracefully, her silk robe flowing behind her like a shadow. Her expression was calm — too calm — as she watched her mother drop her purse onto the glass table with a sharp thud.“What happened, Mother?” Sofia asked softly, though her tone carried a hint of impatience. “You look like you’re ready to declare war.”Mrs. Evangelia’s nostrils flared. “That ungrateful boy — he refused me. He didn’t even have the decency to listen properly. I went there to fix things, to remind him where he belongs, but no — he’s far too proud for that now.”Sofia’s brows arched delica

Chapter 95 The evening breeze swept across the Whitewater compound, carrying with it the hum of engines, the chatter of interns, and the faint scent of freshly cut grass. The sun dipped low, throwing streaks of amber and crimson against the glass walls. It was that hour when the noise of the day softened into whispers — when exhaustion felt almost like peace.Andrea and Gracie walked side by side through the parking lot. Gracie’s heels clicked rhythmically against the marble steps, her eyes glowing faintly under the sunset.“I just love how strong you are,” she said suddenly, her tone teasing yet sincere. “You can be cold if you want to, and I think the other interns deserve it. I don’t like them.”Andrea smiled faintly, tilting his head toward her. “You think so?”“Yes,” she replied softly. “You were calm even when everyone was staring. That takes strength.”He shrugged, his gaze drifting ahead. “Maybe I just got used to pretending I don’t hear them.”Gracie laughed quietly. “Preten

The atmosphere at Whitewater Corporation was buzzing louder than ever.By now, everyone had heard the unbelievable news — whispered from desk to desk, spreading like a digital wildfire that no one could contain.> “They say the intern—Andrea—is actually a Konstanio.”“You mean the Konstanio family? As in, the heirs to the empire?”“That’s impossible. He wears the same clothes every day.”“I don’t know, I heard Mrs. Veronica herself confirmed it.”Phones were out, messages were flying, and speculation filled every corner of the company. Yet, amid all that noise, Andrea sat silently in his corner of the intern department, pretending to type on his laptop, though his mind was far away.He could feel every pair of eyes in the room sneaking glances at him — curious, doubtful, and in some cases, resentful.He hated this.He’d known this day might come eventually, but not like this — not with rumors twisting the truth, not with everyone looking at him like some kind of exhibit.“Hey, Andrea.
Rumours
Chapter 93The morning sun filtered through the tall windows of Whitewater Corporation, painting golden streaks across the pristine floors. The usually calm building hummed with tension. Every corridor seemed to buzz with whispers, and employees exchanged glances as they passed each other, their voices low and curious.Mrs. Evangelia public apology had gone viral overnight. The video showed her standing stiffly in front of reporters, wearing an expression that was half-pride, half-humiliation, reading a statement she clearly didn’t want to say.> “I sincerely apologize for my actions against Mr. Andrea and Ms. Maria Konstanio. I was misinformed and acted rashly. I extend my respect to the Konstanio family.”It had been all over the news, trending across every social media platform. And now, the chaos had found its way into Whitewater’s headquarters.Maria stepped out of the elevator that morning, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Her calm expression masked the irri
