Agriche's Mansion

"Good morning, Father, Mother."

Petter and Rosalee, who saw Victoria and Maverick's presence, were surprised. Both of them assumed that the new couple was still on their honeymoon. Or at least they were at home resting before returning to their respective activities the next day. They must have wondered about the purpose of their daughter and son-in-law's visit.

"Are you guys home yet?" asked Rosalee after greeting them with a hug.

"We arrived yesterday morning. I'm here to pick up my things and see Father," Victoria replied.

"Mr. Hurlington, can't you prevent your wife from resting first after such a long journey?" Petter's judgmental gaze turned to Maverick.

"You probably know better how stubborn your daughter is, don't you, Father-in-Law?" said Maverick with a shrug as he glanced at his wife.

Victoria quickly intervened, saying, "Father, 15 hours of rest is enough to make me not tired anymore."

"But should you rush to meet me to take over th

    At Hurlington Company, on the top floor and in the largest office room, there was a desk with the letters CEO engraved on it. As the leader, Maverick appeared to be daydreaming instead of starting work as he gazed at the skyscrapers from the window. Even someone knocking on his door was completely ignored. And when someone cleared their throat loudly, the man finally snapped out of it. “You…” he called, turning his chair toward the source of the sound. He asked, “What’s going on? Didn’t we already discuss everything in the meeting room earlier? Or do you want to add more work, Jaxton?” “Here’s the document you requested earlier. I came here to deliver them.” His secretary, Jaxton, placed the folder he was carrying on his desk. “Please check your email as well, Sir. It seems you haven’t turned on your computer yet.” Maverick turned to his computer, which was still displaying a black screen. While waiting, he reviewed the documents brought by his secretary. Jaxton quietly observed hi

    “Gustav, can we talk for a moment?” After Maverick left and the conversation continued, Victoria interrupted. “Of course. What do you want to talk about?” he asked. Victoria didn't answer, but stood up and said goodbye, "In case Maverick returns and asks, I'm going to the lobby for a moment, Angel." "Okay," Angel replied, raising her finger to form the letter O. Victoria then looked at Gustav, motioning for him to follow her. She left the ballroom, walked down a fairly quiet hallway, and finally arrived at the lobby. A few people were passing by. Some were hotel guests, and others were Angel’s invited guests heading to the party. Victoria stopped near the sofa, then turned toward Gustav. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?! Tell me what you meant by acting like that in front of me?!” she snapped, folding her arms across her chest and glaring angrily at the man. “What did I do?” he asked, shrugging his shoulders. Instead of feeling guilty, he pretended nothing had happened. Vi

    Once Victoria returned to the party, she took two glasses of champagne, one of which she gave to Maverick. Accepting it, he said, "That can't be your first glass. Your cheeks have been flushed since earlier." Victoria flinched and became flustered even more, realizing her husband had noticed her red cheeks. Fortunately, he didn't realize the real reason. She cleared her throat without answering, simply enjoying the alcohol warming her throat and body. Her mind was much calmer. Perhaps because she was already a little drunk, considering this wasn't her first glass. "Tori, you came here to get drunk, didn't you?" The man didn't let the conversation go. "Verick, I won't get drunk with just three glasses. Besides, you’re here to watch over me.” At the end of her sentence, Victoria softened her voice. Maverick chuckled. “Who else would watch over you?” “Gustav?” His chuckle stopped immediately when Victoria mentioned that name. His eyebrows furrowed, indicating his displeasure. “He’s

    "M-maverick ..." Victoria's face paled when she saw her husband. She instantly felt afraid and anxious that Maverick would meet his ex-girlfriend again. She stiffly turned her head and saw the woman still chatting with Angel. Then her gaze returned to her husband, who was walking toward her. “Tori, let me take you outside if you need time to rest.” Gustav, who noticed her situation, stood beside her and immediately urged her to leave. “G-Gustav, t-they…” Before Victoria could finish speaking or control herself, Maverick suddenly pulled her away from Gustav. He embraced her waist possessively. “Stay away from my wife!” “Can’t you see Victoria’s condition?!” Gustav, annoyed, snapped at him, drawing some attention toward them. “I can help my wife. Mind your own business!” Maverick replied, only making them the center of attention. “You—” “Gustav, enough.” Victoria quickly interrupted, preventing the argument from escalating. She didn’t want their petty fight to become a spectacle,

    Someone thrust a glass of champagne at Victoria, who had just arrived at the party. She turned and looked in the direction the hand came from before finally accepting the glass."You came alone? Where's your husband?" Victoria didn't answer other than swirling her glass without drinking, as if to say not to interfere."Ever since you received my email last week, you've been hard to find. Are you heartbroken?" Gustav didn't give up and continued to engage her in conversation. Victoria began to feel offended. She rolled her eyes. "I've been busy because of this client event.""And you should be happy now because, after this party, your hotel's name will increase. Why are you moping alone in the middle of your client's party like this?" He ignored her and continued to bait her."Gustav," Victoria called in a cold tone."Yes?" the man replied after taking a small sip of his champagne."Do you believe that dead people can come back to life?" she asked, making Gustav face her directly with

    For the umpteenth time, Victoria looked at her watch. One minute passed, three minutes passed, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and almost a quarter of an hour passed, but she still found no sign of Gustav. She started to get annoyed and pulled out her phone."Where the hell is this guy? Can't he be this late?" she grumbled as she searched for the number of the person she was waiting for.Before Victoria could contact Gustav, suddenly, someone approached her desk, making her undo her intentions. "We happen to meet again. Are you waiting for a client?""Ah, yes," Victoria replied, trying to hide her reluctance. Without further ado, she turned her attention to her phone to message Gustav. However, an incoming message that came first from him again discouraged her. 'Huh?''This bastard!' She inwardly cursed in annoyance after reading the message from Gustav."Victoria, is your client running late?" the man asked again."I think he just canceled his appointment," she muttered irrit
