As she watched Sherry leave the house, Sarah felt her phone vibrate. It was a text from her husband’s subordinate- the one whom she had paid to keep an eye on her husband in secret. Uneasiness crept into her heart as she looked at the png file that had been emailed to her. ‘He didn’t…right?’ Sarah opened the file with a tap on the screen. Her expression immediately became ugly as she looked at the adulterous couple in the picture. But what made her really angry was the place they were currently in. The presidential suite and the luxurious hotel…it was in this city! “Miss, are you alright?” She heard Mrs. Rena’s voice. ‘Am I alright?’ Sarah gritted her teeth as she stood up from her chair aggressively. Without answering the housekeeper, she rushed to her room and locked the door behind her.Taking a deep breath, she dialed a number. After a few rings, the other side picked up the call. “W-why did you come here?” Sarah yelled into the phone. “Do you have a death wish?!” “So loud
[3 days ago, Vincent Troy’s Mansion] “W-What? How could this have happened?” Vincent’s mother fell down on her couch when she heard the news. If not for her husband catching her in time, she would have hit her head real bad. “Vincent..are you sure the company is really going bankrupt?” A stern-looking man dressed in a tuxedo and formal attire asked Vincent who looked like his entire world had just fallen. “Dad,” Vincent looked up at his father. “I did not think my luck was this bad,” he smashed his fist into the cushion next to him. “We have to do something.” Vincent grabbed his head in anger. The idea of being poor scared him to death. He had seen people who were dirt poor. They were nothing more than pigs to him. If he could not save the company, he will lose everything. The man looked at his son and sat down on the sofa. “The shareholders will start seeing the changes in the stock market soon this way,” he sighed. “If you can’t save the company before then, we are better of
“Miss, where are you going?” Mrs. Rena asked Sarah who hurried away without bothering to answer her. Mrs. Rena watched the white BMW drive out of the villa with a confused expression. “Miss Sarah is acting weird today…” Thirty minutes later, the same white BMW stopped in front of a luxurious seven-star hotel. Sarah jumped out of the car and was immediately greeted by one of the parking attendants. Without waiting for him to speak, Sarah threw the car keys at the man. “Park it for me.” “Yes, Miss.” The parking attendant nodded. He wanted to ask her if there were any requests she had but she was long gone. “Some people really be rushing through life,” the attendant thought to himself as he watched Sarah march straight into the hotel. Once inside the lobby, Sarah looked around at the extravagant interior of the hotel. There were not many people around but it made sense. She took out her phone and called a number. “I am in the lobby,” she said, “I am here to see him.” After placing
The group entered a presidential suite that was elegant yet sophisticated in design. The suite has also been redesigned to be fit for holding private lunches and meetings.Mr. Victor Khas looked around and nodded in approval of the choice of place. As much as he was a businessman, he was also an aesthete. Roy led them to a room where they were going to have their meeting and lunch. As his boss was the one who called the meeting, he immediately took up the role of the host. He gave a professional smile and looked at Mr. Victor. “Please,” he asked Mr. Victor to take a seat at the top of the table which was followed by Levian sitting on an adjacent chair.“I am glad you agreed to this meeting on such a short notice.”Mr. Victor gave a joyful laugh and said, “You are lucky, a day late and I would have left the city.” After all, he had already been in this city for around 3 days. That was long considering how busy his schedule was.Donald Kruk looked at the ‘secret’ exchange of pleasa
The ambulance left for the hospital with Victor and his secretary inside.After clearing up things with the hotel owner, Levian left for the hospital with Roy.In around ten minutes, the ambulance reached the hospital.The emergency room of the hospital was a frenzy of activity as the ambulance carrying Mr.Victor Kash screeched to a halt. The director of the hospital along with the medical staff, including doctors, nurses, and paramedics were waiting for this VIP patient. Sherry immediately took control of the situation and started running various procedures and tests.Upon her request, his secretary provided her with his previous medical history.“He was in a car accident 3 months ago,” Sherry showed the medical history to Dr. Hopkins. The accident injured his spinal cord in the cervical region. It also revealed that he had been experiencing headaches for the past couple few days.Looking at the MRI report, Sherry frowned. Just as Sherry had suspected, there was a tumor where he had
[17: 00, Capital Hospital] “You are really not going home?” Levian asked Sherry for the umpteenth time. “I can’t, Mr. Smith,” Sherry shook her head. “At least for today, I need to be here.” Although Victor Khas was in stable condition; his vital signs showed improvement, and she knew that there was a possibility of complications arising. At least for 24 hours, he needed to be under constant monitoring. In case any emergency was to occur, she had to be here to take care of it. Considering this patient was a VIP patient and an important associate of Levian, she wanted no mistakes in his care. “There are other doctors who can do that,” Levian tried to persuade her. “Does it have to be you?” “Yes, it has to be me,” Sherry lightly chuckled before adding, “Remember, I am his surgeon.” “Well…you can go home, take a warm shower, and eat something warm,” Levian sighed. “They will call for you if there are any complications.” Levian was worried about Sherry. Just three hours ago, she a
By the time he had reached his company, it was already late at night. All of his employees had already left for home, leaving the company empty. Only the security guards were in the vicinity, preparing for their night shift.He used the elevator to go up to the floor where his office was located. The lights in his office, however, were still turned on.“Boss!” Roy called up from his working desk when he heard the door open.“Did you call his family?” Levian asked Roy as soon as he entered his office. Although he worked remotely from home often, working in the office had its own perks. Sitting on his chair, he extended his hand, asking for reports from Roy.“Yes, boss,” Roy said as he handed him a file. “His wife said she would arrive tomorrow.”“What about his son? Is he coming?” Levian asked.“It seems he has gone abroad for the time being. He should come here once he gets the news,” Roy apologized for not being able to provide a proper answer.Levian flipped through the pages and co
Since she had promised Levian she would take good care of herself, Sherry decided to go and eat something in the cafe to refill her energy for the night.“Sherry!” The hospital director called her as she was exiting the cafeteria. Looking at the direction he was coming from, he seemed to be coming from his office.“Yes?” Sherry turned sideways and came face-to-face with the director who was a few steps away from her. Sherry looked at her watch. It showed it was already 9 pm. Seeing him loitering around in the hospital compound this late at night was unusual, especially when he was used to leaving work on the dot.“Did you not leave yet, Mr. Stephen?” Sherry asked, albeit curious as she walked towards him. “I had some work,” the hospital director smiled and said, “I was just about to leave work.” He looked at her in silence before speaking again. “I needed to talk to you about something real quick.”“Is anything the matter?” Sherry carefully observed Stephen. Apart from him doing som
