Simone straightened up, his chest slightly puffed out in pride. "Or did you come to physically apologize on your sister's behalf?"

    Simone straightened up, his chest slightly puffed out in pride. "Or did you come to physically apologize on your sister's behalf?" That had to be it. Dylan had always been overly obsessive about him, even going to great lengths just to please him. Whatever he wanted, Dylan would move the heavens and earths to get.He scoffed, a condescending glint flashing through his eyes as he ran his hands through his messy red hair.Dylan's eyes twitched first, his fists balled tightly by his sides. He gritted his teeth, his blue eyes locked on Simone's haughty smirk with intense fury. If only fifth uncle weren't here, how he would love to knock that self-centered smirk off that fool's face. He's yet to repay his favor for that night and here he was running that big void of a mouth, spouting absolute nonsense. Even daring to call his eldest sister names, oh.... definitely he had a death wish. And he, Dylan, was more than willing to grant it.Matthew stood behind, quietly watching the tension ri

    Matthew opened the door, his dark eyes lingering on Dylan's slender silhouette. He had his back to the door, his hands wrapped tightly around a stress ball he'd found on the desk. Matthew stood there, leaning against the door frame, watching Dylan squeeze the small ball a few times. A warm smile tugging on his amused lips.Dylan dropped the ball, unable to ignore the intense instinct that he was being watched. He glanced over his shoulders, his blue eyes catching Matthew's broad frame leaning against the door."F... fifth uncle!!", he stuttered, subconsciously stepping away from the piled desk. "I...i was just.." Matthew ignored him, his cold features settling on the stress ball he'd drop hanging off the desk's edge. He let out a soft exhale, his OCD kicking in that instant, he picked it up gently, setting it back in its original position.Dylan noticed this, his lips quivering as he tried to say something; to offer an explanation, possibly an apology too. But he just couldn't find

    Dylan walked into the Xi corporation, holding a big bouquet of blue roses and a exquisitely looking velvet box. Stepping into the busy atmosphere, he paused, taking in deep inhales. Yep, he was definitely at work alright!!.That workaholic of a man, working his employees down to the bones. The Xi corporation had never been this lively,at least,not since he left five years ago.Now these poor people were back to being corporate drones, forced to work overtime. Dylan tsked silently, flashing a warm smile at the front desk attendant. "Lily, can i perhaps be allowed to the executive floor?".Lily raised her furry head, revealing her small, oval face with big, round eyes. She smiled warmly, her eyes squinting behind her big framed glasses, "Young master Chu, it's been a long while since we've last met"." Unfortunately, Young master Xi isn't in the office today...", she paused, her gaze awkwardly settling on Dylan. " But, i could definitely inform you if he ever clocks in or -”"That wo

    The air stilled, everyone's eyes shifting from Alan to Amelia on instinct. Ignoring the awkward stares, Amelia leaned, her back straightening with a cold, noble aura. She stared at Alan, her brown eyes as calm as a still lake, "Brother, i can understand your plight. Leave it to me, i'll be sure to offer you a suitable explanation". She flashed a thin, polite smile, the corners of her lips barely lifting. Slowly, she parted her lips,her voice flooding the board room with a firm,icy tone. "Have someone send for Mr Liu immediately!" Lady Gu's grip on Old Gu tightened, her anxious gaze settling on the still composed Amelia with a frown. What the hell was this child on about...?. They had come such a long way to let this slide south, she clenched her fists, her teeth tightly gritted in silence. There's absolutely no way she was letting whatever this was happen under her nose, absolutely no way! She turned to Alan, feigning a warm smile, "Oh Alan, you've come here with such proof. But

    "Old Gu, do you think he'll come?" Silence reigned, with only the sounds of Old Gu's cane tapping against the floor with a slow, impatient rhythm. He tilted his greying head, his silver rimmed glasses balancing perfectly on his sour face. Lifting his left hand, he stared at the expensive, leather- strapped watch bound to his wrists; his aged features tightening with a sharp scowl. Lady Gu sat beside him, wearing exquisite makeup with her long, manicured fingers wrapped around Old Gu's arms. She sighed faintly, staring at her husband with silent resignation, "Old Gu, we've been waiting for a long while now"."Yet there's been no sight of him, we might as well just end things here and have the police deal with him themselves", she spoke sweetly, her tone soft enough to touch. Averting her gaze,she signaled to Amelia - holding up a small, silk handkerchief to her red matte lips and feigning a small, exhausted yawn."Father, Mother is right", Amelia's clear voice echoed, calm and auth

    A soft knock echoed against the thick doors, and Alan sitting by the vanity raised his head. His thin brows furrowing as he reached out, instinctively flipping over the bulletin board he'd spent hours scribbling on. Damn it, such a huge mansion and yet he barely ever got enough time to himself. He heaved, sweeping the desk full of scrap papers into an empty cabinet. Then he sighed, flicking away a stray strand of hair off his face. Turning towards the door, he spoke calmly, his tone mildly relaxed, "Come in". The door opened, and Zeke paced through the gaps with calm rhythm. He had his hands folded behind him, his silvery grey eyes settling on Alan at first glance. "And what are you doing?". Alan stood awkwardly, shielding the board with his frame. "Mr Ezekiel...", he flashed a grin, trying not to sound awkward. "What a pleasant surprise seeing you here, if i may ask, what calls for this impromptu visit?". Zeke said nothing, his gaze now fixated on the board. He perked a

    Melissa stepped into the office, dazed. Cold sweat made strands of her thick curls to cling to her fair skin as she kept her gaze fixated on the floors. "What happened..?, you seemed to be taking a long while to return. I was just starting to get worried that you'd been kidnapped on your way here.

    Melissa hissed, eyes tearing up as she rubbed the methylated cotton swab gently over her bruise. Her hands trembled, her lips pursed as she blew softly on her wound. Her first day at work had turned out to be a disaster. Getting all bruised up like this....She winced, sucking in a sharp breath. H

    Where did he say he'd be...? Dylan walked past a row of doors, unsure of where to go exactly. Simone had texted him the room number, something about the 17th suite on the third floor. He paused, standing in the middle of the hallway with a lost and confused expression. He had gone through this en
