Amelia was lazing around the opulent villa, looking like the very picture of privileged insouciance with a morning glass of red wine in hand and an expensive nightgown draped over her frame.
Spread before her was an indulgent breakfast that the maids had decked out earlier that morning.
Just then, an incoming call interrupted her conversation with Amelia, and Amelia quickly said, “I’ll talk to you soon, Amelia. I need to take another call.”
With that, she hung up the call with Amelia and put May’s line through. “Hello?”
“Miss Chapman, it’s me, May.”
“You did well last night.”
“Thank you, Miss Chapman. There’s something important I need to tell you, though—Nicole was with President Butler last night.”
The color drained from Amelia face. “What?”
“I was supposed to be writing up an evaluation report with Nicole last night, but President Butler was there as well, and the both of them left together shortly after.”
Unbridled hatred flashed in Amelia eyes as she thought see thingly, So Drake was the man who accompanied Nicole last night?
Could he be the man Amelia was talking about? The one who looked a lot like Nicole kid's? Damn it! Nicole must have put on quite the act to earn his sympathy and prompt his protective side!

She wouldn’t discount the possibility that the past five years had turned Nicole into a greedy and shallow woman, though in all fairness, no woman in her right mind would turn away a fine specimen like Drake.
Does this mean she’s trying to steal my man? Amelia gritted her teeth and vowed that she would not let Nicole get away with her dirty tricks.
That weekend, Nicole refused to let her son out of her sight, and this continued until Monday rolled around.
When she had dropped Pete off at the kindergarten and watched him skip happily through the main entrance, she let out a sigh of relief.
Then, upon glancing at the time, she hurried off in the direction of the company.
When it was past 10.00AM, she summoned her courage and grabbed the phone on her
It wasn't long before a low and husky male voice sounded on the other line. "Hello?".
Nicole said hesitantly, slightly fumbling with her words. After that phone. She thought her heart might drop straight through her stomach.
She needed to pick Pete up from school later said, his voice deep and alluring as it, what? Right now? That’s too soon! “But I have work,” she morning out for you?” he pretend to trouble him, and she couldn’t very well risk have.
