Trapped with the CEO

She decided to tell on Arvin once she returned home. Brother and Angela had united to bully her, asking her to clear the leftovers, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen! How dare they!

She would ask her Mom to teach the cunning couple a lesson!

Anguished and frustrated screams, and the noise of dishes breaking could be heard from the kitchen. Angela, who by now was in Arvin's arms, began to worry about her.

"Don't worry about her, " said Arvin pulling Angela back to him when she tried to leave his embrace to check what was happening in the kitchen.

"But she seems to have broken the dishes..." protested Angela.

"Never mind. She won't break any once she has practiced a few times." As Angela had cooked dinner, which incidentally Lulu had enjoyed a lot, she must help by doing the dishes. There are no free dinners in the world! Everybody has to do their share of work. She could not eat without contributing.

Actually, it was not the most important thing. Look at what she had done to Angela before. How could she have the nerve to share Angela's fruits of labor.

Angela nodded. "Lulu, your brother is rich. He does not care about the dishes you break. Good luck, " she thought to herself.

After an hour, Lulu, worn out from the work, walked out of the kitchen. Though, her temper had cooled down a little, she immediately flew into another rage when she saw the scene in the sitting room.

The woman was submissively leaning against her man's chest. And the man was cuddling his woman, while watching a movie. The woman's hands held the snacks that she and Lulu had picked together earlier at the store. She fed herself a bite and then fed the man a bite.

Though, it seemed that the man did not actually like the snacks, he did not refuse to eat them either.

Just when Angela was about to put the last slice of dried durian into Arvin's mouth, Lulu leaped at them with a scream. "These are my durian slices. How could you eat all of them?" she questioned. "Bullies! Beasts!" she screamed at the couple.

As Arvin was not interested in eating any more durain slices, he silently watched Lulu grab the fruit from Angela's hand and eat it herself.

Angela was not happy. She pretended to kick Lulu and angrily asked, "I was going to give that to your brother. Why did you snatch it and gobble it up?"

"I picked the durian!" replied Lulu aggressively.

"It was me, okay?" retorted Ang

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

is glasses.

He had been quite surprised at her expression when he had seen their picture.

"Yeah! Because at that time, I didn't know that Arvin would make me wash the dishes! Mom, you never make me do such jobs, but look at Arvin and Angela! You must sort them out for my sake. Please!" pleaded Lulu.

To her surprise, Teresa shook her head and asked, "Angela made the dinner, right?" She had also seen the photo. She knew that the girl in the apron, making a face was Angela.

"Yep!" Lulu looked at Teresa in confusion, wondering why she had suddenly asked about dinner.

"Angela cooked dinner. Arvin was busy at the hospital. So, what's so unfair about a foodaholic cleaning the kitchen?" Asked Teresa shrugging her shoulders. Lulu was a lazy girl. Over twenty years old, she could never cook anything like Angela did. Even doing small things like washing the dishes could make her overreact.

... Lulu instantly became silent when she heard Teresa's words. She had also thought that she was overreacting.

"But you didn't like Angela, Mom, " she said, not wanting to give up the fight.

"No. I still don't." But then, Teresa didn't hate her either.

"But..." unconvinced, Lulu continued arguing. "Arvin also ate it for free! Why did he not have to do the dishes?"

"That's because you were there. Who knows who will wash the dishes when the two of them stay alone, " smiled Hogan, who till now had been reticent about his opinions.

As Angela seemed to have the magical powers to make his son treat her so specially, then things like Arvin washing the dishes, were not too hard to imagine.
