Chapter 215
I was finally working again. I started working for my father in his company, the
Weasley‘s Company. Father‘s business is under the raw material industry, like Niklaus‘ Family, but fath
er targets the Asian market more than the Western and European countries, so
there were not much competition going on at all.
Father arranged for me to be the manager, but I said no. Although I am an interior
designing student, there wasn‘t any job in the company suited for me. So instead of jumping
straight to manager, I wanted to prove my own capabilities. I didn‘t want any of the workers here to thin
k that I could be the
Secret Guar. manager because of the relationship with my father.
I started working as a small clerk, then slowly moved up to assistant and then to secretary. The process
of moving up to secretary of my father, the boss, took me nearly 2 years!
2 years might be a short time, but to me, it was a long time. My Lexi is nearly 3 years old by this time, a
nd I hadn‘t seen Lance for 2 years. I didn‘t even heard a single thing from him, not even the news.
I didn‘t want to admit this, but I had been thinking about
him a lot. EverChapter since I officially moved to Singapore, had been trying to hear from him, from the
news, tabloids or social medias, but it
was as if he was gone from my life! | knew I wanted this, but why did it feel so empty?
I was getting off work hen father stopped me and said, “Jennie, it‘s time I make sure you are the heires
s of my company, I‘m not young anymore. I need to make sure I have an inheritor.”
“Father, but I only worked here 2 years, don‘t you think people might find it unsuitable for me?” I was qu
ite nervous. I have never thought of taking over a company
because I didn‘t feel like I could do a good job.
“I have seen the way you work, daughter. You are good, steady and very smart. I trust you can do a go
od job of taking over the company.” Father said.
“Hm, alright father, but I might need some time to prepare and get more training….” I sighed nervously.
Father nodded and said, “No problem, I will personally teach you Secret Guar.
everything you need to know to manage my business.”
Father then left and went to meet mother for
dinner. I told him I wanted to go shopping alone. Just when I was about to leave the building, a delivery
guy came and give me flowers, again.
This was the 700th day I received the same bouquet of flowers! I didn‘t know who sent me everyday, d
uring the same time. I asked the delivery man but he said he‘s not supposed to tell me. Was it a creepy
young man who was stalking me? Or was it Anthony Smith that psycho?
I took the flowers and smiled awkwardly at the man. I have
been seeing this delivery guy for nearly 2 years! It‘s strange to be receiving flowers
everyday from the same guy and still not know who sent it to me.
Secret Guar.
A lot of
strange things had been happening to me ever since I started working here. I always thought the collea
gues here might make a fuss about me being the boss‘s illegitimate daughter, but they didn‘t,
they treated me very well and were kind to me. I
asked father if he warned his workers to be this way but he said no,
I pulled myself back from my thoughts and
headed to the mall. Since it was near, I decided to walk there. I was strolling along the streets
when I saw a very familiar shadow.
Lance? Was that really him? What was he doing here?!
I walked quickly towards the person and kept on pushing onto the pedestrians. I didn‘t know why, but I f

leave him, so why was I so excited now that I saw someone like him?
“LANCE MASON! IS THA YOU?!” | shouted across the streets. He was too far from me and
I couldn‘t keep up!! needed to make sure it was him.
Why was I starting to miss him? Why was I starting to long for him? Why am I so damn toxic?!
The man continued walking and didn‘t turn back around. I started to panic, I really wanted to make sure
it was him. Did he come to see me? I needed to know for sure!
“LANCE!” I yelled. But the man just didn‘t turn around. tears started to form in my eyes, I started to run t
owards the man, but there were
many cars and people around! the night was young, but why did I feel like it was a long night? Secret G
uar.
Suddenly, the man was gone. I stood there, trying to catch a breath. Then, I couldn‘t take
it anymore and squatted down in the middle of the streets. I started to sob. It was
at this time I realized that I have relied and depended on Lance Mason more than I thought, I miss him!
I didn‘t want to admit that I love him, but I did miss him, a lot!
“Lance, please, just let me see you.” I cried into my own knees. The people walking around me didn‘t st
op, they just continued with their own businesses. I didn‘t know how long!
was on the ground, crying, because
when I finally got up, the streets were already not busy. Many people had gone home.
I didn‘t feel like shopping anymore, so I walked like an aimless cat in the Secret Guar.

I still didn‘t understood why I would miss this man…… and my dear, dear Lexi, I missed her so damn m

raid that once I see her, and him, I wouldn‘t want to leave
anymore.
After a few hours of walking, I reached home. Father and mother came rushing to me when I reached t
he doorstep! “Jennie, why do you look like a mess? Have you been crying? What happened?”
father asked worriedly.
“Jennie, why are you home so late? What happened, dear?” mother asked Secret Guar.,
too.
I shook my head and forced out a smile, “Nothing, I just miss someone. I thought I saw that person, but
I didn‘t.”
“Oh, honey.” Mother sighed and pulled me into a hug. “I thought you said you hated him, why are you
missing him now?” mother knew whol was talking about.
I started to cry again. “I don‘t know, mother. I realized I have relied on him way too much than I have ex

and he is already in a place in my heart, I didn‘t even realize this until today!”
