Chapter 160

Emily lifted her spoon slowly, her fingers trembling slightly though she tried to hide it. The breakfast table was quiet, only the gentle clinking of cutlery and the soft aroma of freshly brewed tea filling the air. She looked up at Denovon, her expression calm but her heart restless.

“Did you approve the request I asked?” she asked in a soft voice, as if she had been holding the question in all morning.

“Yes.” Denovon’s tone was certain, his eyes steady as he reached forward and placed another dish onto her plate. “She is free to work with you at Carter Industry.”

Relief swept through Emily’s chest, so strong she almost dropped her spoon. Her lips curved into a small smile as she whispered, “Thank you.” She breathed in deeply, like a heavy weight had just been lifted from her.

It was Monday, the start of a work week. But this wasn’t an ordinary Monday. Not for Emily. Today she wasn’t just returning to Carter Industry as the director she had once been before betrayal force

    Emily headed straight to her floor, her steps firm amidst the quiet whispers of the workers.“Good morning, ma,” Chloe greeted, standing quickly from the chair where she had been waiting.“Chloe, thank you for agreeing to come over here with me,” Emily said gratefully, pulling her into a hug. Chloe froze a little, surprised by the sudden hug.“Mrs. Rowland, please, you don’t have to keep saying thank you. I’m more than happy to move here with you,” Chloe replied with a gentle smile. She actually found it strange that Emily, the wife of Denovon Rowland, kept thanking her. To her, it was nothing but joy. Not only did she get to keep working with her good manager, but her salary had also been increased.“Welcome to the company, Ma,” Mr. David, her father’s old assistant, said as he approached.Emily nodded politely.“The meeting will soon start,” he said softly, then turned and headed to the boardroom.“Let’s go, Chloe,” Emily said, following him inside.The executives were already seate

    Vivienne sat at the far corner of Heaven’s Café, her hands wrapped tightly around a warm cup of cappuccino. The steam from the cup curled upward, but even the sweet scent of coffee couldn’t calm the storm in her chest. Her heart was beating so fast, it almost hurt. She pressed her lips together, her eyes darting toward the door every few seconds.She was waiting for Leo.Her mind kept running in circles. What if he laughs at me? What if he says I’m rushing things? What if he rejects me outright? The thought alone made her fingers tremble slightly as she lifted the cup to her lips. She hadn’t told him why she wanted to meet here, not even a hint.Just then, the door opened, and the familiar tall figure stepped in. Her heart skipped.“I’m right here,” she called softly, raising her hand just a little so he could see her.Leo turned, spotted her instantly, and walked over with his usual calm expression. He wore a simple dark shirt, sleeves rolled up, and the faint trace of cologne drifte

    “I look unhealthy, right?” Valentina asked sadly, her voice low and almost breaking. She leaned into the soft cushion of the sofa, her fingers rubbing slowly against her knees. Her face looked pale, and her body seemed leaner than before.Emily had been staring at her since she arrived, unable to hide her shock. Her eyes softened with sympathy, but the words stuck in her throat.“You look… I don’t really know what to say,” Emily admitted at last, her brows furrowing. Her voice carried a mix of worry and disbelief. She had never seen Val like this before.It was only yesterday that she and Denovon had returned from their honeymoon. This morning, she had come over when Val sent a message asking her to visit. Emily remembered how Val had confessed she hadn’t been herself since the pregnancy began, and how she didn’t even attend the wedding. At first, Emily had thought it was another one of Val’s dramatic moods. But sitting here now, looking at her, Emily knew it wasn’t exaggeration.Val

    Daniel kept staring at Vivienne, his eyes never leaving her face. She sat across from him, straight-backed and calm, at the little coffee shop not far from their homes. The soft noise of customers around them, the smell of roasted beans, the faint sound of music..none of it mattered. The only thing between them was silence, heavy and uncomfortable.Vivienne’s patience was running out. She hadn’t come here to be stared at like some display. She had agreed to meet him because he had said it was important, but minutes had passed and not a single word had come out of his mouth. Only his gaze, sharp and probing, that once used to make her heart flutter but now only irritated her.“What do you want to talk to me about?” she asked finally, her voice carrying the edge of impatience.Before...back in those days when she still thought of him as her world...she would have been thrilled to have Daniel’s full attention. She would have blushed under his gaze, smiled shyly, maybe even felt special.

    “Vivienne.”Her name rolled off his tongue for the third time. Daniel’s voice was low but edged with impatience, and his narrowed eyes studied her.Vivienne finally blinked, pulling herself out of the shock that had frozen her at the sight of him. Her heart had skipped a beat, not from longing but from an old wound reopening.“Why are you here?” she asked. Her tone was calm, almost cold, though inside she was unsettled.Daniel shifted his weight, one hand stuffed into his pocket. “I thought I saw someone who looked like you passing by. I came to check if it was really you.” His words were casual, but his arrogance bled through. He had always spoken as if the world belonged to him.“Okay, that’s me. You’ve seen me now—you can go.” Vivienne’s voice was firm. She had no intention of entertaining him. Not anymore. Not after everything.She didn’t hate him; hate required energy she no longer wanted to waste. But she didn’t want him in her space either. They had once been friends, yes. Chil
