At Cruise Enterprises Headquarters...Noah carried his happy morning with Grace into the office. This was the umpteenth morning he had been a happy man for marrying Grace. He even shared the victory of his love with those around him like this morning.The finance department was shocked by Noah's order to give two monthly bonuses to all Cruise Enterprises employees for reasons that the employees did not know.Shafea, a beautiful woman around Noah's age who was the design manager at Cruise Enterprises headquarters, was also happy. Shafea heard that the Vice President was in a good mood today. It was such a rare opportunity to miss when she had been waiting for the moment to confess her feelings to the Vice President to materialize.But she had to wait for the right time today, and it fell at the end of working hours as she was sure to give her best performance to show Noah.Shafea deliberately came to the Vice President's office in work clothes that were tailored to her body shape. Coup
Dawn came without warning, the two slept through the night cuddling and it ended when Noah woke up first without waking Grace. Both of them left for their respective workplaces. Noah with a stack of important files as vice president of Cruise Enterprises, while Grace is preoccupied with her troublesome patient."Be careful, Grace" Eve reminded Grace.Grace just nodded and winked her eyes, as if to signal that she would be fine.As Grace entered, Owen was sitting at his laptop with earphones in his ears. It looked like he was having a work meeting with a video call. Grace ignored that and approached. She slowly took Owen's hand.However, the sober Owen immediately pulled his hand back, "Who told you to touch me?""I told you I was going to draw blood this morning, right?""Stop, I don't want to!" Owen replied coldly."If you don't want to, just keep staying here for another month," Grace replied firmly and turned around. She was so bold to answer and ignore a rich and handsome man like
"Your question is not wrong and I will answer it. I didn't have any children, or rather my daughter died after I gave birth. My husband and I got into an accident on our way to the hospital because I was about to give birth. In that accident, I lost my husband. He died.""I managed to deliver my daughter in time, but unfortunately my baby died in the NICU due to the impact that occurred in the accident. In one day, I lost two people I loved, my husband and my daughter.""But it was a long time ago. If I think back, my daughter would have been as old as you, Grace. My daughter should be twenty-five years old next month. I always remember that day because it's an important day."Mrs. Novellin's expression grew more and more morose, she even cried with a forced smile. Grace was saddened as well. She could feel Mrs. Novellin's pain even though they were just two strangers who had just gotten to know each other.Grace gently touched Mrs. Novellin's hand and smiled, "I'm sorry, Auntie. I do
Half an hour later, Noah, who had just arrived, met his mother in the VIP waiting room, not in Noah's own office. That's because he didn't want anyone to freely enter the room that contained many of his items about Grace."Mom. Are you looking for me?" he asked as he approached his mother."Noah, where have you been? Why aren't you coming home, son?" asked Mrs. Sayla anxiously.But Noah replied nonchalantly, "I had a lot of work, Mom. I told you that I have to go back and forth to the office.""Yes, it shows on your tired face. You're okay, right?" Even though Mrs. Sayla rarely met her only son, she still knew the details of Noah's expression, "Mama told you, right? You shouldn't be too workaholic, Noah. You have so many subordinates, leave it to them so they don't eat a blind salary. You're worrying me, you know...""So, what did you mean by coming here? Come on, let's discuss it now," with a cold expression, Noah was direct."Need what? I don't need anything. I just really miss you,
In the front lobby of the same nursing building, Grace was busy taking care of a patient's discharge paperwork.Owen couldn't help but smile. Currently from the 3rd-floor balcony of the VVIP hallway, he could see Grace clearly, "No wonder she's not come into my room. She was busy taking care of her patient.""But why do I keep thinking about her? What's wrong with me? Or maybe my brain has shifted because I'm annoyed with her." he continued muttering denying his feelings that were starting to get attached to Grace.He kept looking at Grace who stood watching the direction of the black car that had just left to take the patient home.Just as Grace was about to go into the building again, Owen also turned his head to leave, but for some reason, the sound of the car horn that was heard caught Owen's attention again.Unexpectedly, Grace was also seen turning around again and then waving while giving instructions to the driver to park the car to the side.Owen initially wanted to not care
A hard slap landed on Grace's cheek after speaking just now. But what Grace said was true, but it hurt Zara's pride as a woman who felt more than Grace in every way."Don't be arrogant about being a mistress. You're so cheap for being the destroyer of other people's relationships. You'll see in a time and have a good cry because Noah will be announcing his marriage to me soon!" Zara threatened with great annoyance.Zara almost slapped Grace again but unfortunately, Grace's hand was quicker to restrain Zara's hand."I won't let you slap me twice or I will retaliate and make you go viral on social media for fighting with a slut like me," Grace replied boldly. She also threatened Zara who immediately turned her head around, afraid that someone would see her hit Grace."Watch out. You'll see, I won't let you keep teasing Noah!" Zara threatened again before leaving Grace."Good luck!" Grace also replied quickly without turning her annoyed gaze on the woman who was her husband's fiancée."C
"Noah?" she called softly. She instantly felt guilty for overreacting to her unfounded jealousy, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to doubt your love," she continued softly.Grace chose to stay on the sofa and reconcile her anxiety. When things were calmer, she left, but not to their room, but to approach Noah in his study.The guilt-ridden wife knocked hesitantly, but the owner, who had heard the knock, opened the door to let Grace in no matter what she said.When Noah stepped in first, Grace immediately pulled her husband's hand until they both sat on the sofa in the room, "Noah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you like this,"Noah didn't want to answer yet. But Grace didn't give up."I confess that I was jealous because Zara seemed so confident that she would get you because of your parents' support. It made me feel inferior. I didn't have the slightest intention of making you angry,"Noah, who had not yet wanted to turn to Grace, gave her a brief smile. His anger was instantly dispelled
Today Grace received some good news. Her mother could already be visited and had just been moved to the treatment room. For this reason, Grace came to the hospital as soon as possible. However, when Grace was in front of her mother, the look on her mother's face was so different and she didn't smile at all when she saw her daughter."What are you here for?" asked Mrs. Gina sternly."I just got word that you've been moved to the infirmary. I wanted to see how you were doing, Mom," Grace replied frightened because her mother's gaze was different, and also because she felt so guilty about marrying Noah without her mother's blessing.With her hands still shaking, Grace checked the fluid in the IV bottle that was still connected to Mrs. Gina's hand."You don't have to be nice to me. Who do you think got me hospitalized like this?"From her tone and words, Grace could tell that her mother was very angry with her."What did I do wrong, Mom? I was so worried about you, but after you woke up y
