Chapter Fifty-Six ‘
The award ceremony is coming up on January and she heard that the owner of My Studio would probably be awarded. She wanted so badly to tell the world why she chose to hide herself. She didn’t know who would take the award in her behalf. She thought of Kenny taking the honor. Or should she take this chance in telling the world who the owner really is? It will calm down everyone’s curiosity.
She was sitting on her desk and looking out of the window. She sighed. She thought of Edison. They made the date on when they will wed. He wanted it to be soon, end of February. Right after Nicholas and Joey’s. They planned to wed on 14th February, Valentines Day.
‘How I wish my life was simple,’ she said out loud to herself.
‘How simple do you want it to be?’ she turned to face Kenny. He entered the office without her noticing.
‘Enough to keep away the difficult situation.’
‘But with difficult situation you experience something new at the end. You learn something. That is why nobody’s life isn’t perfect,’ Kenny wisely said. Charlene raised her eyebrow in question. ‘My grandmother was always telling me,’ he explained. She nodded lost in thought again.
Maybe this is fates decision. Fate wants to show me if Edison’s love and mine is powerful enough. Only time will tell. She sighed.
‘I think life is going to be simple after you read this,’ Kenny said. He handed her stack of papers. She frowned taking the papers into her hand she stood to sit on her chair.
‘International Back Account Number: HK12233445566778…Branch Identifier Code: HK2109R… Sortcode: 10-16-25… Account Number: 12345678… Account Name: Daisy Lin…’ she scanned down. It showed money going in and out. Looked at Kenny. He nodded. ‘Omg! We did it! We got her!’ she jumped up and down. Then hugged Kenny.
‘Yeah we got her!’ he smiled at her. ‘What going to happen now?’
She stopped to think. ‘I have no idea. I didn’t think of it actually.’
‘Well think now?’ he said. ‘Are you going to arrest her?’
‘It seems like it,’ she answered. ‘It will be a shame.’ She sighed.
‘What are you talking about?’ Kenny looked at her baffled. ‘She has tormented you the day you came and now she’s worse coz you’re marrying Edison.’
‘You’re right. She did something illegal and now she has to pay for it. But I think we should arrest her after the ceremony. Let her taste the freedom until it would be taken from her.’
‘You know what your problem is?’ he said. She shook her head. ‘You are too kind for your liking.’
‘What is wrong with being kind?’
‘Nothing,’ he shrugged his shoulders. ‘Just sometimes people take advantage of it.’
‘Like you?’ she joked.
‘Definitely me,’ he answered. ‘I’m going to apply for the manager position when Daisy is out of the picture.’
‘You! A Manager?’ she shook her head laughing. ‘Don’t kid around.’
‘What’s wrong with that?’ he asked bewildered at her response. ‘I heard your P.A in America is taking over the management over there.’
‘Coz I trust him with my company.’
‘You don’t trust me with your company?’ he pouted.
‘Yep!’ she laughed.
‘I take it back. You are not kind. You are an evil woman!’
She chuckled. ‘Okay. Apply for it. And while the days are going until Daisy gets arrested you can show me how responsible you can be.’ He beamed happily at her suggestion.
‘You are the best. Now I take the other comment back. You are not evil.’ He then added, ‘Ruby is.’
‘Aww, come on. There has to be one strong macho person in a relationship,’ she said, teasingly.
‘Ha, ha very funny.’
Next few days went with Charlene busy with her work and Edison. They would go out for dinner every evening. Finally the 2004 Business Award Ceremony is here. Just one more day and Daisy will be arrested. Charlene thought she should be arrested tomorrow instead of straight after the ceremony. She got some guys to watch her just in case she would do a runner.
Charlene was invited to the ceremony. She asked Edison to be her date since he was already invited. Maybe he would be awarded, she thought. Daisy was obviously invited. Charlene thought might as well she can receive it in her behalf. She felt sorry for her.
‘I don’t know why you are invited,’ Daisy said when she came into the lift. Charlene ignored her. ‘I’m going to be the one receiving the award,’ she carried on not caring if she was heard or not. ‘And when Edison sees me on the stage he will think why he is with a person like you.’
Charlene laughed. ‘You are so funny. What a joke. Edison going back to you!’ she laughed again.
Daisy glared at her fuming. ‘I wasn’t joking!’ she yelled.
‘Yeah, yeah, whatever!’ Charlene ignored her again.
‘You… you…’
‘Me what?’ Charlene beckoned. Just in time the elevator doors opened and Charlene walked out.
‘After today it will be last time I ever see you because I will make sure you get fired!’ Daisy yelled behind her. Charlene waved at her not turning around.
‘It sure will be the last time you see me,’ she muttered. ‘Can I have tea please?’ she asked Vanness. He nodded. She went to her office.
‘Did I hear Daisy’s voice?’ Edison asked when he rotated the chair to face her. She smiled.
‘Yeah. What are you doing here?’ she asked. She walked up to him and sat on his lap.
‘I missed you,’ he responded. Then he kissed her hungrily.
Pulling back to gasp for air Charlene stared at him adoringly. ‘We had breakfast together,’ she pointed out. ‘And we were going to meet tonight.’
‘Tonight is too far away for me,’ he pouted.
‘I could spare few minutes,’ she suggested. Then she went back to their kissing.
She gave a last touch to her make up and stood up to study herself in her long mirror. She wore her present from Edison. It suited with her ankle length turquoise dress that was low cut at the back showing it bare. She didn’t want to go extreme but she wanted to for one day just do something other than safe. She had been doing everything safe from day one. Plus she wants to see how low Edison’s jaws going to fall down and if his eyes going to pop out or not. She smiled.
Her apartment phone buzzed. She knew it was Edison and buzzed him in. she went to the door and opened it just in time to see Edison come out of the elevator. When he saw her, his jaws fell. She chuckled.
‘I think the light is blinding me,’ he said when he reached her. ‘I see this angel who is brightening up my life.’ He then kissed her.
‘Aww,’ she blushed.
‘Hmm, I’m thinking if I should let you out of the cage like that,’ he teased. He then touched her with the tip of his finger. ‘Ouch! Baby you’re on fire!’
‘Stop, you’re embarrassing me.’ She touched her warm cheeks.
‘Come let’s go before I have funny ideas,’ he closed the door behind her. They walked out of the building with him admiring her back all the while. ‘Omg! I think the fantasies are coming back in my head.’
‘Eww,’ she said. ‘Get away, you pervert!’ she made a run for his car. She had to struggle with her heels. He laughed and went after her.
‘Come back, Honey. What kind of wife are you going to be?’ he teased. ‘Satisfy me,’ he playfully ordered.
‘No!’ she screamed, he grabbed hold of her and pulled her to him. ‘I will not go willingly,’ she cried out. She was laughing.
‘When I finished ravishing you, you would be more than willing,’ he said. Her eyes were tightly shut. He smiled then bent down and bit her lips. She opened her eyes. ‘What? Don’t have any trust in me?’
‘Every bit,’ she replied breathlessly.
‘Come, let’s go before I really lose your trust.’
‘You wouldn’t,’ she said with a little fear. He chuckled not answering her. He let her go and climbed into the car. She too followed getting into the passenger seat. ‘Will you?’ she asked when fastening the belt. Without saying anything he started up the engine and drove. ‘Come on,’ she pleaded after five minutes of silent driving. ‘Would you have?’
‘Maybe,’ he laughed.
‘You’re such a pervert,’ she declared when he wouldn’t give her the answer. She grunted then looked out the window ignoring him. She felt a hand on her thigh. ‘Oi! Get lost!’ she smacked his hand away.
‘Don’t be mad,’ he pouted. ‘You are my desire,’ he couldn’t help but say.
‘Aargh! You are despicable!’
‘Ooooh we’re using big words now!’ he laughed.
‘Carry on, Honey and you would be single for life!’ she announced giving him a deadly glare. He swallowed his laughter and focused his attention to the road. She smiled secretly and closed her eyes.
‘We’re here,’ he dryly said halting the car.
‘At last!’ she was going to come out when she looked out of the window. She didn’t expect so many tabloids. She recognized the presses from the TV. They were bombarding the cars; she assumed that inside were important people. ‘Great!’ she muttered.
‘Wow, what a welcome,’ Edison joked.
‘I’m not going,’ she said all of a sudden.
‘What!’ he saw the fear in her eyes and lowered his voice. ‘It’s not that bad. They won’t bother us.’
‘It’s not that,’ she said. ‘I have this bad feeling about going in.’
‘Nothings going to happen,’ he assured her.
‘But what if something does,’ she confronted.
‘Then we’ll sort it,’ he softly spoke.
‘Will you still love me?’ she blurted out.
‘Char!’ he exclaimed. He gripped on her chin gently and made her look at him. ‘Seriously, what has gotten into you? Of course I would love you. Don’t ever question my love to you. Ever!’ He then kissed her to prove it. Pulling back he ordered her, ‘Now let’s go.’
He climbed out of his car and went around to open the passengers’ door. He held the door open for her. She stared at him still having doubts in going in. he stared back her giving her mining full look. She trusted him; she told herself and climbed out of the car holding onto Edison’s stretched hand.
Still having a gut feeling that something’s going to go wrong but she placed a smile on her face and watched the cameras being flashed. All I care is the love and trust I have for Edison.
