Thanks to Martha's daughter who recommended me to her boss. Now, it's been 2 years since I started working in an Event Organizing Company under the Event Operations Department. I am now a hospitality coordinator.
"Congratulations, Elle. You deserve the position."
I smiled at my colleagues who believed In me. Our team is full of positive people, cheering for each other's success. I'm happy that I met these people. Although rumors cannot really be avoided, I'm still thankful that I get this high all by myself.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Going back won't be easy for me especially after everything that happened, but this was my original plan- to go back when I'm ready. Now, I'm ready and I will not run away again.
"Miss Dee, come to my office." It's our boss. A man 6 years older than me. He's very serious and cold. He never smiles and he's the reason why the other departments seemed to hate me. They thought I'm sleeping with our boss
Honestly, I started as a janitress in this company. The boss of the HR Department must've seen my performance and recommended me for a promotion. After 8 months of working as a janitress, I was appointed as the assistant of the Event Director. And just now, I was surprised by our very own President of the company, appointing me as a Hospitality Coordinator in the new branch.

I pinched her side and she just smirked at me.
"Shut up, Mary!"
I watched Miss Dee, our team leader, follow Mr. Walter
"You're single, right? Why don't you ask him out?"
I glared at Mary and she just giggled before she walked away from me.thonestly don't know why she keeps on pushing me to date Mr. Walter. Yes, we're both single. But I don't think I'm capable of dating. "again especially when there's a man reigning in my heart all these years. I still haven't forgotten him, but I
know that he might be married by now. So there's no chance left for us.
When I got home, I heard my little angel's soft voice.
"The princess met the prince."
heard Martha laugh. "Our baby is so bright! You already know the story, huh?"
I rested my arm against the wall as I spoke. "I'm so tired. I think I need my vitamins."
"Mommy!"

She ran to me and immediately carried her in my arms. She started showering kisses all over my face as I laughed and accepted her love.
"How's my pumpkin?"
She smiled sweetly and innocently. "I cut ten hearts, mommy."
"Really?"
She excitedly nodded and asked to go down. When I put her down, she immediately ran to the coffee table and carried the box with ten pieces of cut-out hearts.
When she got distracted by her toys,' I sat on the couch, watching her, Meanwhile, Martha sat beside me. "Did you accept the position that your boss was giving you?"
I nodded at her. "Yes. Besides, I think it's time for me to go back."
Delight was in her eyes as she nodded and smiled. "I will always be here to support you, Elle. I'm glad you finally found forgiveness in your heart."
She didn't know my story. But she concluded that I ran away from the father of my child, typical of the dramas she's always watching.
I've seen and experienced the worst, so I prepared myself to face the pain and horror when I come back. I know what to do. And I definitely know who my enemies are. Although I've been away for five years there are some things I know that happened all these years. Klay has become more powerful and strong because he actually married Emily. He's now managing my father's group of companies and also managing almost all of the family business of Emily's family. While Pierce, he's doing very well as the President of ADE. However, his personal life is strictly private. So I'm not sure if he's really married to Lexi
The nostalgic feeling of coming back to my home country is undeniable. As soon as I got off the plane. carrying Snow, who's sleeping in my arms, I felt my heart racing. I missed this country and all the good memories I had here.
Elle, do you know the address of the company dorm?" Mary asked as she followed me. It's just the two of us today. The other members of our team will come the day after tomorrow since we'll start next week.
I handed her the piece of paper where Miss Dee wrote the address. I'm thankful that the location of the new branch of our company is far from the places where I might run into Pierce and his family. And to think that Klay is also back in this country, I need to be extra careful.
While Mary was calling for a taxi, I roamed my eyes around my heart skipped a beat after seeing a familiar man walking out of the airport.
My eyes widened as I turned my back because of the realization. Was he on the same flight as I was?
Shit!
Timmediately got in the taxi that Mary called before I looked back, watching Pierce's father entering his car with some bodyguards around him.
He didn't see me, right? I hope so.
"Elle!"
"Huh?"
Mary frowned beside me. I said we can dine in a restaurant for lunch."

I shrugged my shoulders. "I'll just order some food since I need to unpack and Yuki is still asleep."
Snow's name remained Yuki but they already know she's actually named Snow. I had to reveal it since I already taught Snow how to write her name and she can write it now.

However, I need to find someone trustworthy to look after Snow while I'm working.
