Masuk"I must commend you, Jane, this is very beautiful," Governor Nathan praised.They had been walking around the company since they entered. Dravyn and Jane followed him from behind, while Betty was at their back. Han was outside, inspecting the area."Thank you, Governor. I wouldn't have been able to pull this off without my fiancé, Dravyn." Jane smiled, looking into Dravyn's face.Dravyn kissed her forehead, their hands clasped tightly. "It's an honour," he said softly."The love between you two is very visible," Nathan complimented. "You both look perfect, but not as perfect as my wife and me," he chuckled."Guess we will be when we finally get married," Dravyn gave a sly smile, and Nathan looked at him with playful scorn.Nathan wiggled his index finger in Dravyn's face. "I won't allow you to beat me in marriage. Never," he emphasised jokingly.They all laughed as Nathan's face turned serious."Let the best man win, Nathan Smith," Dravyn chuckled, and Nathan eyed him.Betty whispered
"Ravne Beauty set to hold its opening today with one scent," Jane read the trending headline out loud from her phone.She smiled softly, and Dravyn squeezed her hand. She had no idea he had been watching her. As she looked his way, he smiled back at her, his face showing fine lines around his eyes."Everything will be fine, okay?" He nodded and continued, "Just stay calm. I won't leave your side." He blinked slowly, staring deeply into her eyes."Thank you," Jane muttered.They had been inside the car since they arrived at the company. The last two weeks had been a hectic one for Dravyn's household.While Jane and Betty spent most of their time at the company, Dravyn and Han were always at their own office, and when they were done, they would go pick up Jane and Betty. Meanwhile, the maids were always in the kitchen cooking and sending meals over to Ravne Beauty for Jane, Betty, and all the workers.Jane shed a tear but quickly wiped it away. "I couldn't have come this far without you
"Thank you, Lila, for helping Vale Corp bring our stock back up to eighty per cent," one board member said happily, praising Lila.The Vales and the board members of Vale Corp were in a meeting. Lila had been able to calm the whole situation down, and even Mr. Howard had stepped back."Thank you," she said with a smile, grinning from ear to ear from her seat."Leo Vale, where is the data we asked you to collate?" the eldest member of the board requested.Leo, who was sitting opposite Lila and to the right of his father, stood up and passed the papers to each of the board members. There was silence in the room until one board member broke it."This is good." He nodded and then lifted his head. "Henry, your kids are really improving," he complimented.The other board members acknowledged the changes. Lila stared at Leo, who was staring right back at her, and they winked, hiding the shared smiles on their faces.FLASHBACK"Lila, what am I going to do?" Leo panicked, pacing up and down in
Dravyn didn't care about the shock on their faces when he announced he would be eating with Jane.They were still staring at him when he walked over to Han and grabbed the bag with the biggest flask. He brought out the flask, placed it gently on the table, and then started setting everything up."Jane, let's eat," he said again, lifting his head from the table.Jane walked over slowly, her face carrying a look of amusement that made Dravyn chuckle. She sat down, and he handed her a spoon. He heard a rustle behind him and knew it would be Han and Betty scurrying to get their own food. Within moments, the sweet smell of chicken curry sauce with rice filled the reception area of Jane's company."I am sorry, but this was the fastest meal the maids could prepare," Dravyn apologised to Jane."I love it. Thank you." She smiled widely at him and then dipped her spoon into the food.Dravyn followed suit, and after a few minutes, he took his phone out of his pocket. He dropped his spoon, typed
"Mr. Woods, the issues we had with Wood Corp the last time have been rectified, and they are willing to change the contract so we can use the latest model for their project," an executive reported happily.Dravyn was seated at the head of the table. It had been a meeting after meeting all day. The only time he had gotten to rest was when Han called him to give a report on how their journey to find an investor had gone."Good. Governor Nathan's project? How is it going?" Dravyn looked at the executive in charge of that project."We are almost done. Governor Nathan has seen the work so far, and he really loves it.""Bring the report for the week to me; I want to see it," Dravyn requested from his secretary.Since Han was not available, he had to use her. The secretary quickly dashed to a table in the corner of the room, picked up a file, and then returned to hand it to Dravyn.Dravyn slowly flipped through the pages, checking the figures and details. "Who compiled the report?" he threw
Jane and the others soon left the restaurant when they were done and headed to the first supplier. Jane knew all the major suppliers; she had worked with them before, but now, her fear was whether they would want anything to do with her.They arrived at the first supplier's warehouse, and he politely refused to supply Jane."I am only being polite because we did business in the past and never had any issues," he told Jane.They left the premises, but this time, Jane wasn't feeling disappointed at all. Her confidence was back, her head held high, and her back straightened. After the incident at the restaurant, Betty's words had given her courage.'I must prove I am innocent, even if it means fighting the industry,' she thought with determination in her heart.The next few suppliers they met were exactly the same. They all refused to supply her with any goods."I will pay more if that will cover the stress," Jane negotiated."It's not about the money, Miss Jane. We have been warned not
"Sir Woods, there is a problem," Han said plainly into the phone.Han had watched how all the investors embarrassed Jane. He knew it was related to the scandal, but come on, she hadn't even been proven guilty, and the police were still investigating the case.He had tried his best to hold the anger

Jane sat on a cold metal chair. She had spent the entire night at the station without being questioned or released. By morning, she was brought into the interrogating room. Opposite her sat the interrogating officer, with a steel table between them.Her makeup was smeared beneath her eyes and her e
They say family comes first. They say if you work hard, do good, and stay loyal, things will eventually work out fine for you. That was exactly what Jane Vale had done all her life. She gave her family everything. She gave her work everything. On the night of her promotion, she believed all those
