The following day, Yvonne was invited to a meeting at Jeriton City's Department of Arts and Culture as the organizer of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Promotional Event.The government building was imposing, and given the importance of the occasion, even the Minister of Arts and Culture was presen
Jared's smile appeared without warning. Just as he'd thought, Yvonne was returning today.She took the money and answered with a laugh, "Give me an hour. Tell Ms. Ember to wait."In the next hour, Ford Corporation's secretarial department was filled with a tension they had never felt before. When th
In the designer women's boutique at the mall, Jared reclined casually on the couch."Shirley, this is your first time joining me at a big event. You'll need to look your absolute best. It reflects on me, after all," he said.The boutique had granted them the ultimate privilege—a private shopping ses
Isabel had weathered her share of downpours. Now, she was the one holding the umbrella over Yvonne. The gown was undeniably costly.At that moment, Luther made his way toward Yvonne, drink in hand, his intentions clear as day. "Ms. Jamison, did you find yourself a new boyfriend? This gown is a remar
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jared looked every bit the prince coming to Shirley's rescue. Taking a fresh towel from a waiter, he crouched gracefully and carefully dabbed at Shirley's gown himself."It's alright, Shirley," he murmured."Mr. Ford… Jared…"Shirley could only stare at him in d
At that moment, even Luther was unusually tense. He wanted to see how Yvonne would confront Jared.Jared's spirits lifted at the sight of Luther's irritation. He was done pretending. If Yvonne rushed into his arms, pouted, and insisted he send Shirley away, he'd be more than happy to comply.As Yvon
Yvonne got to her feet in the pool, dripping wet. Her hair clung to her cheeks and neck, leaving her looking disheveled. Even though the air was warm, the pool water had been cold."Jared Ford! What is your problem?" she shouted.This wasn't what Yvonne had expected. Shirley hadn't pushed her in—Jar
Shirley rushed over, splashing through the water.Jared had been momentarily dazed from the fall into the pool. Thanks to his height, the water only came up to his waist. He took a second to collect himself before turning to Yvonne in disbelief."Did you just... choose me?"She'd chosen him? That wa
Jared, unaware of whom Leon had just met, said simply, "I attended the auction at Tidalus, but I didn't manage to buy the item I wanted, Mr. Jacques.""Oh, that's certainly an unforgivable offense. What did you have your eye on, Mr. Ford?" asked Leon."I wanted Andrew Jamison's posthumous work," Jar
The moment Yvonne heard Leon's words, she immediately realized that he was trying to feel her out.She and Samuel were just friends, so it wasn't actually difficult to answer his question, but his speculations made her feel uncomfortable.Howard looked kindly at Leon, placed a hand on his shoulder,
The moment Luther spoke, hostility sparked between him and Jared.Jared had a dark, dangerous look on his face. "Do you think you can take my place as long as you keep pestering Yvvy?"Luther walked over to stand in front of him, smiled, and said nothing. He simply kept drinking his wine.However, i
When Yvonne finally got home, she placed Andrew's posthumous work in the best spot in her workshop."Sorry it took so long for me to return to the design world you loved so much, Dad. From now on, you can watch me gradually grow here."Although she'd spent the night in the hospital yesterday, she wa
Jared started firing off a barrage of questions at Yvonne. "You still haven't told me why you didn't come home last night. Did Isabel arrange another place for you to stay so that you could avoid me on purpose? "You have no idea how worried I was! I didn't sleep the entire night. You just want me t
There was a hint of self-deprecation in Yvonne's words, and Isabel couldn't help inwardly cursing out Jared when she picked up on it."It's all in the past," she told Yvonne reassuringly. "It won't happen again."Yvonne hummed in acknowledgement.Was it truly all in the past though?After successful
"Alright," Yvonne said at last.She glanced at the clock, then poured a glass of water and placed the medicine that Samuel needed to take on the table. "You should take a day off from work today, Mr. Hover. Please take the medicine and get some more rest.""Okay," Samuel said agreeably. Just as he t
Yvonne was still very concerned when she saw Samuel's weak appearance. In the end, she could only make the worst choice available."How can I be comfortable leaving with you like this, Mr. Hover?""It's alright. I'm not very hungry anyway," said Samuel.However, he pressed his hand to his stomach as
"Are you getting changed to go out for a walk, Mr. Hover?" asked Yvonne."I'm heading home. I can't stay in the hospital for too long," replied Samuel, standing up before pausing and asking, "Will you be able to help me, Ms. Jamison? Is your ankle alright now?"Yvonne walked over to support him. "My
