knowing him, Max Jeo dominates my thoughts. Ignore his conceit. Damn, his smoldering eyes, his big sh

his bullshit about me being better off somewhere else irritated me. It was evident in his eyes. Lia raced to him, and I saw that he had her in his arms. How Lia smiled at him, and how he smiled at her. They share a unique and powerful bond. Something happened to me when I saw that. Something I'm unable to describe. All I know is that on that day, my heart skipped a b

Before I have to depart for an early meeting, I still have over an hour left. A discussion I have to attend. For this sale to go through, I need it. The most prominent rival of Jeo Hotel, Spa, and Resort, Hyatt Hotel and Reso

get up, I get lightheaded and have the worst migraine." She appears to be in poor health. Remain in bed. You ought to be sleeping. I told Lia, "I'll just take her to the office." "Aren't you supposed to be at an important meeting this morning?" she worriedly inquired. "Yes, I do; I'll have Laura watch her for a while." She doesn't appear to be pleased with my choice. There's disapproval all

d I feel like I could pass out at any moment. Therefore, I was hoping you could stop by and keep an eye on Lia for me," she said. Oh, sh*t. I'm not sure, Evelyn. I mean, isn't there someone else, a family friend? An ancestor?" I knew the answer when I asked. Regretfully, no. Since the driver is currently with Lia, Antonio, I can assure you that it will be disastrous if Antonio spends the entire day with Lia. That poor child, that is. She will be pretty bored. There is not a single joyful bone in that man's body. I believe he is unfamiliar with the word. She begged me, "Please, Ara, if I didn't think it was necessary, I wouldn't ask." Inside, I moaned. Right now, I'm so conflicted. What is Max Jeo's opinion on this? I questioned. "What is Mr. Jeo's opinion on this? I said, "I'm sure he won't approve." "He's aware. I enquired. He concurs with me. He requested me to call you to see if you could keep an eye on Lia. If you said no, he even urged me to plead. She said, "He told me to do everything to win your approval. Okay, I suppose that clarifies the answer to that query. Then what? It appears that my options are limited. Shutting my eyes, I inhaled deeply and declared, "I'll be there as soon as possible." I hastily got ready, gathered my belongings, and left. Evelyn met me at the door of the Jeo estate when I arrived. She appears to be pretty ill and in need of some rest. Evelyn, you ought to be in bed. It would be best if you did not worry; I will look after Lia. She smiled at me and added, "It was just to give you a tour." You must be aware of everyone's location. "I'm sure Lia wouldn't mind showing me where everything is," I responded, giving her a pleasant grin. Forget about dinner and lunch. I do not doubt that I can prepare food in the kitchen. It's time for you to go to bed. You appear as though you're going to collapse." "You're accurate. In any case, buzz me on the intercom if you need me," she added. "Ok, I will." "Lia is in the playroom. Here, I'll walk you there, and it's on the way to my room anyway." She stopped at the second door on the right as I followed her down the hallway. "The playroom is this. She spends most of her time playing and viewing movies. "Mr. Jeo disapproves of Lia leaving the house when he isn't there," she stated. With a nod. I said, "Okay, thanks, Evelyn." "Denada," she said. She answered, "Well, I'll head on back to my room then," and turned to leave. Lia's voice could be heard from outside
