Chapter 66
Cecilia took a sip of the Iced Cappuccino she had just ordered a few minutes ago at Marie's husband's cafe, where she was now. It tasted a little stronger than the Iced Cappuccinos she had had before but she had to admit that this drink had really met to her liking. This was quite surprising, considering that over the years she had visited all kinds of cafes in Rose city, but never once had she come across a barista like Keith Gilbert, who could immediately understand her coffee taste. Only twice had he met her; at her cousin's wedding ceremony, as well as at the Hermann extended family gathering. Supposedly, that was not enough to let the man know her personality to this depth.
She took another sip of his coffee after looking around the cafe, scanning everything. The atmosphere was so pleasant, with classical music playing which she did not know because he was not a classical music fan like Marie. She preferred music that has a fast tempo like Linkin Park or The InterrRelated chapters

To be honest, if he were, to be honest, he was attracted to the woman who was approaching him right now. Sitting on the chair in front of him with an expression full of confidence, as if want to tell him that everything was within her grasp. Her long wavy hair and star-shaped earrings made her look a little more reminiscent of Keith's wife, Rosemarie Clark, but a little more masculine. He felt a bit of a strange nostalgic feeling when he saw the woman's face. It felt like they had met before, somewhere. But where? He could not quite remember it."Yes?" he pretended not to hear the woman's words, asking her to repeat what she did without hesitation.“WeChat ID?”The woman nodded confirming his question earlier, took out her smartphone with slender fingers and decorated it with festive-looking nail ornaments, making the movement of the woman's fingers look graceful but did not reduce the charisma that was in the woman.He

Marie clenched her fists. Her anger was already overflowing when she heard the conditions that had just been put forward by her grandfather, looking alternately at her first uncle––Arthur Hermann––who had a savage smile, as well as her grandfather, who was waiting for her answer."How about that? You accept the terms I put forward, and I will gladly help reduce the losses your company has suffered," continued his grandfather, enjoying the desperation that might have been evident in the eyes of the two men. "But well, the choice is yours."She should have expected the result to be like this.By allowing her grandfather to control ninety per cent of her company and not giving her the right to express her opinion in her own company, leaving her position as CEO to her first uncle, who had always been her grandfather's priority? She must have gone mad if she would accept the terms her grandfather had just given to her just now. It was tantamou
Our Agreement Chapter 69
Inwardly, Keith breathed a sigh of relief once they made it out of the Hermann family mansion safely with no harm in their side.His fingers tapped on his thighs, for a moment peeked at Marie, who was still whistling and tapped her slender fingers against the steering wheel with those cold grey eyes looking out the car window, not even seeing him at all. He might have thought that she was still angry with him for what he had just done if he had not seen the relief on her cold face as he entered the room, indicating that Marie was actually relieved to have him there.At least, he had arrived just in time as the two bastards were throwing their threat bombs at Marie.Again, he rubbed the wound at the corner of his lips. He

Sorry, I think I'll take a rain check today. There's an emergency.I'll let you know later XOXOPatricia sighed wearily as she sat in the dining room with her head propped lazily on the dining table, looking at the entire now tidy room. Disappointment overtook her. Even though she had taken the time to clean the entire apartment after she successfully managed to kick Mr Park out of her apartment, imagining what they would do once her girlfriend arrived at her apartment. Of course, not all of them, because there was already a robotic vacuum that helped her clean the floor of her apartment, and also the windows of her apartment already had a feature to clean themselves every ten minutes.It had been more than four hours since she had replied to Au

Keith heeded the nurse's prohibition not to run as soon as he found Alan sitting with his head bowed and his hand fiddling with the ring around his left ring finger, while the man's lips said a prayer, patting the man on the shoulder as he caught his breath for a few minutes. Alan himself looked relieved to find his presence there, as well as Aura, who had arrived earlier than him and sat on his left.“I've heard from Keith. So how is Tatius' condition?” Marie looked at the emergency room door filled with anxiety that a woman did not usually show to other people. He was confused for a moment, then understood that maybe Marie was thinking about her mother, who died of brain cancer. Perhaps the woman had experienced something similar, so she could understand well the fear Alan was facing now.Alan shook his head

After spending a few hours visiting Tatius, who was in stable condition but still needed supervision from the heart specialist team at the hospital, he and Marie returned to their home. Marie felt exhausted after having a long and uncomfortable day fell fast asleep in her room as soon as they arrived at their home while he went straight back to his room to open his laptop screen after feeding Larch and making espresso coffee to help him stay awake. His eyes, wearing anti-radiation glasses, read the document Katherine had sent him carefully. This was what made him still keeping Alan as his team even though the man had a character that was easily provoked by his emotions. The man had a lot of social connection networks, making it easy for him to find whatever information he needed without having to grope in the dark. Because there were times, such information could not be found using Aura's ability as a hacker. Katherine had so many documents that need him to spent four hours reading t

"Si, Nonno. How many times do I have to tell Nonno about cancelling our original plan to acquire Hermann's company?”He rolled his eyes. For the twentieth time he repeated his words until he grew tired of it.“Ah, try to say it again––”“No repetition, Nonno. How many more times will it take until Nonno is satisfied with my answer?”"Indeed I have asked how many times, anyway! Having a grandson who is really rude to his own grandfather," grumbled his grandfather. "I've only asked you twice––""Twenty times," he correc

Currently, she was dealing with Cecilia's relentless nagging at an Italian restaurant where she spent her first dinner with Keith at the start of their marriage. Now, she was not in the same room as then, but another VIP room without a single window in the room filled with Edwardian-themed wallpaper because there was no other room left, which made her breathless, questioning his artistic taste. the restaurant owner, who was also her high school friend, who she once helped when her friend's family was in trouble. The reason behind Cecilia's anger was simple; because the woman knew of her visit to her grandfather's house yesterday afternoon. In fact, the original intention to invite the woman to spend their lunch here was original to give her cousin a chance to withdraw his ownership stake in his company before the company went bankrupt. How could she forget the fact that beh
