"You crazy lunatic!" Ansel blurted it out mercilessly, scolding Erica. "How dare you curse me? Who gave you that right? Are you a witch or something? A troublemaker?""I didn't curse you," Erica argued back, "and I don't have any ill intentions towards you either.""If you say I'm going to die, isn't that a curse?" Ansel asked angrily. "If you have good intentions, you should wish me good things instead of those nonsense things.""What I'm saying is true. I am warning you." "Shut up!" Ansel shouted, cutting off Erica's rambling. "I don't want to hear any vile words coming out of your wicked mouth. Get lost and stay out of my sight."Ansel turned to Nika and requested, "Nika, start the car. We shouldn't talk to a crazy person like her. What a waste of time.""But..." Nika said hesitantly. "Hurry up." Seeing Nika hesitate, Ansel angrily shouted, "Before I lose control and resort to physically assaulting this malicious-mouthed woman."Under the intense and threatening atmosphere created
"Is it you?" Upon recognizing Ansel, Erica suddenly exclaimed, unconsciously flashing a big smile, "Oh my god, it's good to see you again. We must have a special connection, don't we?"I don't understand why Erica was happy to see Ansel again. Her behavior seemed somewhat excessive. Erica herself couldn't control her actions. Honestly, these past few days, Erica has been constantly concerned about Ansel's affairs. Erica kept wondering if Ansel had gone to the hospital for a checkup. And Erica foolishly wasted her time and mental energy, hoping that Ansel would follow her advice.Ansel immediately frowned in suspicion at Erica's sudden, excited reaction. Do they know each other? According to Ansel's recollection, they do not. And currently, Ansel still doesn't remember who Erica is."Who are you? Do we know each other?" Curious, Ansel asked while making a conjecture: "Are you my classmate? What grade, or college?""I would be honored if what you said were true. But unfortunately, we don
Ansel had thought that he would never meet Erica again. However, fate seemed to play a trick on him. After their encounter in the men's restroom, Ansel ran into Erica a few more times in different places within the company. A typical example was when Erica came to clean Ansel's private workspace.Erica, who was working, began to feel restless and finally spoke up:"Do you feel any abnormal signs in your body?" Erica timidly asked, "Something like dizziness, lightheadedness, headache...?"Ansel, who was reading a report, stopped and turned his gaze toward Erica. Ansel's gaze was not friendly at all. He seemed uncomfortable with Erica's presence."What if I do? What if I don't? What does it have to do with you?" Ansel responded with challenging questions, his tone filled with arrogance."If yes, you should go to the hospital for a check-up," Erica immediately reiterated.Ansel felt exasperation wash over him. He wanted to scream in the face of Erica's stubbornness and recalcitrance."Lis
Ansel accidentally collided with Erica as she was walking with a tray holding two hot coffee cups. Once again, an accident occurred, but this time it was even worse when the hot coffee spilled onto Erica's hand before splashing onto Ansel's white shirt.While Erica was extremely confused by the situation and felt a burning pain on the back of her hand, Ansel quickly took control of the problem. But instead of gently solving it, Ansel chose to make a fuss."What the heck is this? Did you do this on purpose?""What do you mean?" Erica genuinely didn't understand what Ansel was implying."You spilled coffee on me. And it was hot coffee," Ansel angrily accused Erica, blaming her. "What if I got burned? Are you going to take responsibility for that?""No, I didn't do it on purpose. It was just... I'm sorry." Erica stammered in defense, but Ansel didn't want to listen. He was annoyed by Erica's stalking, and now, with this incident, he saw an opportunity. Ansel wanted to exploit it to make E
Erica was led away by the police. Nika stopped watching her. He turned to look at Ansel. Nika felt fearful and surprised by Ansel's unexpected way of dealing with Erica. Nika knew that Ansel wasn't inherently cruel, but he had his limits of tolerance. Anyone who pushed Ansel to lose control would have to bear unforeseen consequences. And Erica, unaware of Ansel's weakness, suffered the misfortune."Ansel, are you sure about that decision? She hasn't committed any serious offenses." Nika asked forcefully, "Furthermore, her hand is injured, and it seems to be your fault.""I don't care. Let her sit in jail for a few days.""But isn't that a bit too much?" Nika argued."I don't want to hear any more bullshit from you. The lunch break is over. Hurry back to work. If not, I'll deduct your pay."After speaking, Ansel left the scene. He felt uncomfortable and extremely embarrassed by the employees who were watching him. …As per Ansel's request and the assessment from the police, Erica did n
Hearing the call, both momentarily broke free from their train of thought. Simultaneously, they turned their gaze toward the girl who had just appeared."Please come into the doctor's office to learn about the results and listen to the advice." The nurse smiled and informed Ansel.With a slight hesitation, Ansel remained seated in the chair. Meanwhile, Nika decisively stood up."Come on, Ansel. It's time to find out who won and who lost," Nika said, noticing Ansel's dejected and reluctant expression and a hint of insecurity. Nika had to pull Ansel's hand away to step into the doctor's office. "Hello, doctor. May I disturb you for a moment?" Nika politely spoke.The doctor was looking at the test results when he raised his head. The doctor felt proud and surprised when he noticed Ansel, a celebrity in the business world and Brown's only heir, visiting his hospital. "Hello. Please have a seat, both of you," the doctor said."How are Ansel's medical examination results, doctor?" Nika, f
Speaking of Erica, she was sleeping on the cold floor in the bleak temporary detention room. Although the current environment was not conducive to sleep, it wasn't a significant issue for Erica. She had become accustomed to facing various hardships day by day. Therefore, Erica could easily sleep anywhere. Moreover, she naturally possessed an optimistic spirit. So, Erica had a peaceful sleep. However, everything quickly came to an end when someone arrived to disturb her, or rather, to meet with Erica."Erica Watson, wake up quickly." An urgent voice from a man resonated. "You can go home now."The good news reached her ears, waking Erica from a deep sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and lazily looked around."Get up quickly." The police officer ordered Erica to tap the baton against the iron bars, causing her to startle. Erica immediately sat up."Why is that? I haven't paid the fine yet. It hasn't been 24 hours in detention," Erica asked, still groggy and yawning."Someone came to bail
With a firm decision in mind, Ansel swiftly underwent surgery. He didn't want the news to leak out and cause worry and distress among many people. Therefore, Ansel deliberately kept his illness hidden from his family and girlfriend. Besides Nika, no one else knew about Ansel's cancer.After two hours of surgery, the doctors successfully removed Ansel's cancerous cells. Currently, Ansel has been transferred to a recovery room. He will soon regain his health.…At this moment, six hours have passed since the surgery concluded. Ansel is currently resting in the room. It is a specially arranged VIP room for Ansel, as per Nika's request to the hospital. Besides Ansel, Nika is also present in the room. The attending physician has just finished examining Ansel and has left.After seeing the doctor off, Nika returned and pulled up a chair, sitting next to Ansel's bed."Ansel, how are you doing?" Nika asked with concern."I'm feeling dizzy, seeing stars, and lightheaded," Ansel complained weari
