As the door clicked shut with a snap, Penelope reluctantly shifted her focus from the dense pile of documents that had consumed her attention. She glanced up, her eyes narrowing as she assessed the intruder who had just crossed the threshold into her office.

Carrie glided across the room with an air of confidence, her vibrant smile radiating genuine warmth.

“It's good to see you again, Mrs. MacDonald,” she said, her tone light yet tinged with an undercurrent of something deeper.

  • Dear Substitute Wife, You Are Mine   The silent lies

    ‘I MISS YOU. YOU MUST HAVE HEARD ABOUT THETRANSFER. LET'S HAVE DINNER TOGETHER BEFORE I LEAVE.’Serena presumed the message was about work, but it was actually Eric's second message she had received that day. She was just about to reply when Henley came around to the other side of the car and held the door open.“Is there an emergency?” he inquired, though he didn’t seem to care. As far as she knew, if it were about work, he wouldn’t allow her to leave because he had intentionally cleared her schedule today so she could come with him.“No. It’s Mum. She’s asking when I’m going to visit home.” She lied and paused for a moment to glance at his face. “Don’t worry. I’ll return her message later,” she added, elegantly stepping out of the car.Telling him that it was Eric who messaged her might cause a problem, so she’d rather lie about it.After he shut the door, Henley gestured for Kevin to drive off. But before turning away, he stopped, pivoted his head over his broad shoulder, and narro

    ‘Divorce’The word resonated in Serena's mind—foreign yet familiar. As much as she yearned for freedom, receiving an offer for help from her mother-in-law left her feeling puzzled.She furrowed her brows slightly, gathering her thoughts before breaking the uneasy silence in the office. “I appreciate your offer, Ms. Hathaway, but I can't accept it.”Carrie, seemingly unfazed by the rejection, remained determined to continue the conversation. “Aren't you feeling trapped in your marriage? Have you forgotten? You were forced into it. Or is there something you're gaining from it?”Her gaze peered into the depths of Serena's eyes.Shaking her head gently, Serena replied, “I don’t know where you’re getting this from, but I did it for my sister. I wasn’t forced into it.”“I sense that you might not want to be with him,” Carrie interjected, and surprisingly, Serena nodded in agreement. “Then why not consider my offer?”She took a moment to play with her hair, her focus intense as she met Carr

I didn't realize you would be attending the board meeting in person today. Why not the loyal dog?”Carrie's eyes sparkled mischievously. “It doesn’t sound like you’re particularly thrilled to see me.”Jayden gently pulled the swivel chair out for her, who perched herself gracefully on the edge as she settled into the seat opposi

    “I’ll prepare the paperwork before sending it to your desk. Besides your schedule, there’s an auction at five o’clock,” Scott stated firmly in his usual professional tone.“I thought I told you to clear my schedule for the evening. Do it,” he said with a commanding edge, barely lifting his gaze from the pile of papers on his desk.“I apologize, but you might want to reconsider. This is something Mr. Wolfe specifically wants you to see,” Scott replied, maintaining his composure.He walked over to his desk and held out a tablet, displaying a pristine image of the antique book.“This seems familiar,” he said, studying the book intently, trying to recall where he had seen it. “Have I seen this before?”“This antique book was something Mrs. MacDonald commissioned you to find six months ago.

It's rare and hard to attain so that's why it's on auction.” Scott explained.“Then go get it,” he said, his t
