Al was having lunch with a woman. And what made Lucy even more angry was seeing the two of them chatting and laughing.No. Lucy couldn't let it happen.Without thinking, Lucy approached them and immediately pulled the woman's hair back, making her fall. Deep down, she was delighted to see the woman in such a state. But that didn't last long. When Al approached the woman instead of her, Lucy was again overcome with jealousy, which turned into anger.She was about to attack the woman again, but Al held her hand."Let go of me! I have to teach this woman a lesson about not bothering other people's husbands!" Lucy snapped, trying to break free. Instead of getting free, she had to widen her strides to follow Al, who was dragging her somewhere.And here they were now. In Al's office."Aish!" The man snorted harshly as he loosened the tie that felt suffocating him. His body suddenly felt so hot."What are you doing, Lucy?" he asked, turning to look at Lucy, who was still standing with tears

"Good morning, Mr. Albert.""Good morning."That greeting continued until Al finally arrived at his father's office. Because Paul was overseas on other business—at least that's what everyone knew—Al had been entrusted with managing the company.This wasn't the first time Al had had to manage his father's company. He had worked there before. Of course, not as a boss, but as a regular employee. Paul didn't want Al's status as his son to make him arrogant. That's why he told Al to become a regular employee first. If he was good enough, he would be promoted.And Al proved it. His education in business paid off. Al was quite reliable to Paul. However, at that time, Al chose to quit and continue his studies so he could improve. And now he was back. Not as a regular employee, but as a boss.Knock...knock...knock."Come in!" Al said, inviting anyone who knocked on his door to enter."Good morning, Mr. Albert!" A woman in rather sexy attire greeted him as she entered Paul's office, now known a

A few days later...The place had been completely decorated. The mansion, already luxurious from the start, now looked even more festive with various floral decorations in various places. Carson always preferred holding parties at his own mansion rather than renting a hotel.Today was the important day, when Carson would officially introduce Grace as his daughter. The man in the black suit was chatting with some of the guests who had already arrived. His attention was diverted when he saw someone entering through the main door.Paul and Jonas, his secretary."Welcome, Mr. Paul!" Carson greeted him pleasantly. He might have hated Paul, but he had to welcome him tonight as his guest. Perhaps a special guest.Paul smiled faintly. "Good evening," he replied."Please come in." Carson personally led Paul inside to mingle with the other guests. But that didn't make Paul happy. For some reason, Carson's attitude was very suspicious. Considering he was the one who had separated him from Grace.

Grace paused for a moment when she saw Yogie and her father in the living room. They seemed to be discussing something, but Grace couldn't hear them. After a full day of shutting herself in her room, she finally decided to come out. Besides, she couldn't just stay silent, could she?"Grace!"Yogie, the first to see Grace, immediately called out her name.Carson turned and gave her a faint smile. Grace smiled as well and continued to sit with the two men. The atmosphere was awkward, as Grace didn't know what to say. Her father must have already known what had happened today."How was the meeting? Did it go well?"But her father's question confused Grace. She turned to Yogie as if to ask if her father didn't already know what had happened. But instead, he chose to leave."I'm going to have a quick smoke outside," Yogie excused himself. He knew the father and daughter needed space to talk privately. He was afraid his presence would make things awkward for them."Okay," Carson replied, no

"So, Dad, have you found Grace?" Al asked, his face beaming."Yes. In fact, I met her this afternoon," Paul replied on the other end of the phone.Al felt a sense of relief and happiness. They had been searching for Grace for a long time, and they had finally found her."How is she? Is she okay?" Al asked again.Paul nodded as if the person on the other end of the phone could see it. "She looks great. She just looks a little different now.""Different?""Wait a minute. I will send a photo."It only took a few seconds for a text message containing a photo of Grace to arrive on Al's phone. The man cracked a smile."Grace cut her hair," Al murmured, but Paul still managed to hear it."Doesn't it suit her?" Paul asked, wanting to hear Al's opinion."Yes. Very suitable," Al replied without taking his eyes off the photo."Don't worry, I'll bring Grace back."Al remained unmoved. Even he himself didn't know how to react to Grace if she actually returned and was with her father.Was Al ready

Without further ado, Carson went straight home after Yogie called. When he arrived, he found Yogie sitting in the living room."Where's Grace?" Carson asked quickly."She's in her room," Yogie replied with a slightly weary look. He didn't look the same anymore. His tie was out of place. His previously neat hair was now a mess. He was a complete mess now.Carson was about to leave, but Yogie stopped him. "She doesn't want to be disturbed right now."Since they got home, Grace had locked herself in her room without a word. Yogie had tried to coax her, but she hadn't responded, which ultimately led him to give up and give Grace some space to herself.Finally, Carson could only sigh as he stared at the stairs leading to Grace's room. The middle-aged man loosened his tie slightly and sat down beside Yogie."What exactly happened there, Yogie?" Carson asked. He had only heard a little earlier, and now he needed a more detailed explanation."Uncle Paul came with Mr. Ivander.""So he really w

Aria sighed softly and then looked at Hans and Juan again."Hans?" Aria called out, causing the man who had been so busy talking to Juan to turn around."Yes, what's up?" Hans asked."If you don't mind, would you like to have lunch here?" Aria asked. Her tone sounded hesitant to invite him. After all, Aria had to ask first. Hans might be busy."I think that's a great idea," Hans replied enthusiastically. Aria was quite surprised by the answer. She hadn't expected Hans to want to join her for lunch. The woman smiled gently."Okay. Then I'll prepare the food first with the maids," Aria said."Okay. And I'll stay here with Juan," Hans replied, nodding.After that, Aria left, leaving Hans with Juan.Hans chuckled, not because of Juan's adorable behavior, but because he remembered Aria's expression when she invited him to lunch. It was really cute, he thought.The woman seemed afraid Hans would refuse. Seriously. Hans had been thinking about how to stay. Even inviting Juan to play was one

Hans walked leisurely toward his parked car. He paid little attention to his appearance, using very natural gestures so that anyone inside wouldn't notice what he was doing. Hans then knocked on the car door. "Are you done?" he asked, making sure Aria was finished with her business with her child. "Yes," Aria replied. "You can come in now," she continued. After hearing Aria's answer, Hans immediately got into the car. His eyes were fixed on baby Juan, who was already asleep in Aria's lap. "He's asleep too," Aria continued, smiling slightly at Juan before turning back to Hans. "Thank goodness. I was scared just now seeing him cry like that," Hans said, jokingly, to lighten the awkward atmosphere. Aria smiled even wider, appreciating Hans's joke. "By the way, thank you for your understanding, Hans," Aria said, looking at Hans sincerely. If it were anyone else, they would have been furious because of the unpleasant incident. "It's okay. Besides, I can't just sit there watch

Aria felt a little awkward speaking informally with Hans. After all, Hans was Jayden's business partner, whom she had to respect. It wouldn't be funny if Aria's slip of the tongue affected their collaboration, would it? Besides, it would be rude, even if their ages weren't that far apart.Hey! Was Aria just thinking about Jayden's business? Oh my! It turns out she still cared about her traitorous husband."Feeling awkward?" Hans asked after Aria had been silent for a while. "Maybe I look so old that you feel awkward speaking informally to me," he continued, making Aria feel uncomfortable."It's not like that -- I mean..." Aria was flustered. "Okay. I think it's better if we just speak informally," Aria continued, to which Hans quickly nodded. In the end, the woman relented. This was Hans's request, after all."So what are you doing here? Are you sick?" Aria asked, repeating her earlier question."My stomach was a little upset earlier, so I came to get some medicine," was the alibi Han

Hans was intently reading a document that David, his personal secretary, had just brought him. The tall man sat across from Hans, observing his boss. He occasionally explained the contents of the document if Hans didn't quite understand.Their focus was diverted when Hans's cell phone, which was on the table, rang. Hans's eyes stared at the screen, and after reading the name on the screen, he immediately picked it up and read the message.Hans smiled faintly, typed a few words before placing the phone back on the table."I've signed everything, you can take care of the rest," Hans said. He stood up, grabbed his jacket, and put it on."If I may ask, where are you going, Mr. Hans?" asked the man, who was about the same age as Hans.Hans smiled faintly after putting his jacket back on. "Taking care of the future," he said, making David smile sweetly. This was the first time he had seen his boss look so happy."Of course, sir. I'll take care of everything," David paused to clear his throa

"Nobody," Hans denied, then put his phone in his pocket, as otherwise the woman might snatch it by force. Viona was indeed a bit aggressive when she was curious."From your girlfriend, huh?" Viona guessed excitedly, her characteristic teasing tone."If so, why?" Hans asked back. Unexpectedly, this made Viona's smile disappear."What? You really have a girlfriend?" Viona asked with an unreadable expression."I'm a grown man, Vio. In fact, I should have a wife by now," Hans said lightly, without looking at Viona."You're not allowed to have a girlfriend, Hans! Especially not married!" Viona said, raising her voice slightly.Hans immediately looked up at Viona's loud voice. He saw the anger in her eyes.What's wrong with Viona?Why is she shouting like that?She couldn't be jealous, could she?What good would it do her to be jealous of her own best friend?That's what Hans was thinking now."What's the matter? You want me to be single for the rest of my life?" Hans asked, ending with a s

Viona followed behind the man. "Something like what?" she asked, teasingly. "Come on, Hans! What kind of thing?" The woman clung to Hans until he finally grew tired of Viona's annoying behavior. Hans turned to look at Viona, who was still grinning. 'Looks like it'll be fun to play a little prank on this woman.' Hans thought. He smiled lopsidedly and pulled Viona's hand toward his room. "Hey! Hans, what's wrong?" Viona asked, confused. Was he serious? Viona wondered as she realized where they were going. When they reached the room, Hans sat Viona down and slowly approached her. Viona immediately swallowed hard. Especially when Hans took off his white t-shirt, completely exposing his upper body. 'Gosh! Since when did Hans have such a beautiful body?' Viona's heart ached as she saw Hans's toned body, the dream of every woman. His toned abs and muscular arms adorned with prominent veins. It was perfect. Furthermore, Hans's skin was so fair, Viona had to restrain herself from touchi
