Ashley left Madden Limited, feeling satisfied with the outcome of her meeting with Joyce Hart. As she made her way back to her own company, she couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. She had secured a major deal with one of the biggest players in the industry, and that was no small feat.As she walked into her company, her secretary greeted her with a smile and handed her a stack of messages and emails. Ashley nodded her thanks and made her way to her office. Sitting behind her desk, she took a deep breath and began to sort through the papers on her desk.As she rummaged through the drawers of her desk, searching for a particular document, she suddenly remembered something that made her heart skip a beat. Marcellus didn't come to the airport to see Larisa off or better still stop her from leaving. She knows Larisa still loves Marcellus, and she wondered why he didn't come. Has something happened? Was he okay?Ashley, feeling worried, retrieved Alex's phone number and procee
Clara approached Mrs. Mary, her voice calm and collected. "Excuse me," she said. "I'm here to see Marcellus."Mrs. Mary's tone was curt as she replied, "He's not here," and turned to leave.But Clara wasn't ready to give up. She reached out and gently grabbed Mrs. Mary's arm. "Please, where is he?" she asked urgently.Mrs. Mary glanced down at Clara's hand on her arm and then back up at her face. Clara quickly realized her mistake and removed her hand. "Sorry," she said.Without meeting Clara's eyes, Mrs. Mary answered, "Mr. Huxley is in the hospital. He got into an accident earlier today."Clara was shocked. "What?" she exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand. "Which hospital?""Global health hospital, We're on our way there," Mrs. Mary said, already walking towards the car with James beside her."Please, can I come with you?" Clara pleaded.Mrs. Mary hesitated for a moment, still angry with Clara but recognizing that it wouldn't be fair to turn away her boss's visitor. "Come wit
Clara hesitated, feeling anxious about seeing Marcellus' mother again. She didn't want to upset her, but she didn't want to leave without seeing Marcellus either."Come on," James called out to her, noticing that she was lagging behind. "We need to see Mr. Huxley."Clara took a deep breath and gathered her courage. She slowly made her way toward Mrs. Huxley, trying to keep a safe distance."Mrs. Huxley," James greeted her politely. "We're here to see Mr. Huxley."Mrs. Huxley looked up, her eyes red and puffy from crying as she smiled at James,Mrs. Huxley turns her gaze at Mrs. Mary, her eyes filled with tears. "Oh, Mrs. Mary, you're here," she said, her voice shaking with emotion.Mrs. Mary quickly walked over to Mrs. Huxley and wrapped her arms around her in a tight embrace.

They could see the relief on Mrs. Huxley's face as she hugged Mrs. Mary tightly, grat

She had dreamed of visiting the United States for as long as she could remember, and now she was finally here!As the plane touched down, Larisa could feel the tension in her body starting to ease. She gathered her belongings and made her way down the jetway, her eyes scanning the airport for any signs of trouble. Everything seemed to be running smoothly, and Larisa breathed a sigh of relief.Just as she was about to step out into the terminal, a friendly voice caught her attention. "Excuse me, miss, do you need any help finding your way?" Larisa turned to see a uniformed airport employee smiling at her."Yes, please!" she exclaimed gratefully. "I'm a bit overwhelmed by all of this."The airport employee chuckled. "I know the feeling. Let me take a look at your ticket and see if I can help you out." They chatted amiably for a few minutes, and
As soon as Mr. Huxley's eyes met Clara's, his expression darkened with anger. He couldn't forget the stress he had to go through when he had to intervene after hearing about the discord between Clara and Larisa at Marcellus's wedding. He had to order his guards to confine Clara until after the ceremony, which was a difficult decision for him to make.Despite his anger, Mr. Huxley remained composed and approached Clara with a stern expression. "What are you doing here?" he demanded.Clara's heart pounded as she stood before Mr. Huxley, the man who had always been cold and disapproving towards her. "I came here to see Marcellus," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. "I wanted to see how he's doing."Mr. Huxley looked at her with a stern expression. "Have you seen him now?" he asked.Clara nodded, her eyes flickering with fear and uncertainty. "Yes, I have. He's still unconscious.""Then it's time for you to leave," Mr. Huxley said firmly.Clara felt a lump form in her throat

As Larisa sat up, she looked through the window then she reached for her phone to check the time and saw that it was Evening. Larisa's stomach grumbled loudly as she realized she was famished.
