Elena knocked harder on Sofia's door.

“Sofie, can we talk please?”

She had been standing there for some minutes trying to get Elena to come out.

She was already dressed for work in her office wear.

She knocked again. “Sofie!”

A maid passing by stopped behind her.

“Uhm… Ma’am,” she called out, a little bit concerned.

Elena looked behind her back.

“What,” she said uninterested, turning back to the door.

“She's not in her room, she left very early this morning,” she replied gently.

Elena turned fu

    Marcus sat in his office, working on his laptop—or at least trying to.One moment, he was going through the documents on his screen. The next, his mind had wandered elsewhere.He couldn't concentrate.With a sigh, he leaned back in his chair, resting his chin on his hand.A knock sounded at the door before Elena walked in.She was carrying the files he had brought to her earlier. After dropping her bag onto a nearby chair, she began sorting through the documents in her hands.“Here. I've signed these,” she said, handing him a stack of files.She picked up another file and placed it on his desk.“Reject this one.”Marcus glanced at it. “Why?”“Their prices are unreasonable. We're not paying this much when we can get the same materials elsewhere.”She picked up the last file and handed it to him.“This one needs to be revised.”“What's wrong with it?”“The delivery terms. They're giving themselves too much room for delays without any consequences. Have them revise the clause before brin

    But when you say enemies... am I one of them?Elena stared at the message she had typed.Her finger hovered over the send button for a moment before she deleted it.He didn't remember their past.Sending him something like that would be unnecessary. Worse, it might make him suspicious.It was better to leave things as they were for now.She typed another message instead.I'll text you the time tomorrow. Goodnight, Mr. Vale.She sent it.After placing her phone on the bedside table, Elena connected it to the charger before pulling the covers over herself.She closed her eyes, allowing the exhaustion of the day to take over.Across town, Adrian read her message.His fingers moved toward the keyboard, ready to reply, but he stopped.There was nothing else to say.It was obvious Elena wanted the conversation to end.He sighed and lowered himself fully onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling.The room was dimly lit, with only the faint glow from the bedside lamp illuminating the space.“El

    Lydia returned to the office later that evening.After losing Elena, getting stuck in the intersection, and finally managing to get out of it, she had endured more than enough for one day—not to mention the curses thrown her way by the angry drivers around her.She gritted her teeth as she remembered the incident.Walking over to her cubicle, she sat down and let out a quiet sigh.Before she could gather her thoughts, a file was slammed onto her desk, jolting her out of them.“Ms. Grant, where have you been?” her team leader asked.Lydia turned toward her.“You didn't return to the company after the meeting at Carter Holdings,” she continued.“I got caught up in a minor car incident. It delayed the cars in front of me,” Lydia replied, looking up at her.“Oh, you witnessed the car that got stuck in the intersection?” another staff member nearby chimed in. “The driver must have been drunk or something to make such a careless move. I'm just glad no one got hurt.”Lydia pressed her lips t

    Lydia drove along the busy road, keeping Elena’s car within sight.She had been monitoring her since the meeting, carefully maintaining enough distance to avoid drawing suspicion.But Elena had caught on faster than she expected.After realizing Elena had been deliberately driving in circles, Lydia decided to back off and keep a lower profile.Then Elena suddenly took a different turn.Lydia’s eyes narrowed.This was her chance.She pressed down on the accelerator, increasing her speed while making sure to keep a reasonable distance between them.They approached a cross junction.Elena slowed down.Lydia frowned.Why is she slowing down?Before she could figure it out, Elena suddenly sped through the intersection.Lydia followed without hesitation.But the traffic light changed to red at the worst possible moment.She slammed on the brakes, but it was too late.Her car rolled into the intersection as vehicles began crossing from both directions.Horns blared around her.Drivers shoute

    -CARTER HOLDINGS-The conference room was filled with representatives from Rivera Corporation and Carter Holdings.Elena sat near the head of the table, a folder containing the latest Horizon Bay reports open in front of her.Adrian sat beside her, quietly reviewing the figures on his tablet.Across the table, Grayson listened with his usual unreadable expression, while Jace sat beside the other Carter Holdings representatives, following the construction data on his tablet.Marcus stood at the front of the room.The screen behind him displayed the architectural rendering of Horizon Bay—the massive waterfront development that Rivera Corporation was responsible for constructing.Marcus clicked the remote.The rendering changed to a recent aerial photograph of the construction site."Two months in, we're progressing according to the revised schedule."He pointed toward the image."Site preparation is seventy percent complete. The land has been cleared and graded, construction zones have
