INICIAR SESIÓNI nodded. “Take care,” I told them. We hugged each other for the last time, and I accompanied them to the elevator before I went inside Adrian’s room. The bodyguard that Veronica hired for me was in the lobby. I prepared the food that I brought. I transferred it to a microwavable container to hea
“Thank you for agreeing, Analia,” Jessica said while holding my hands. I saw the relief in her eyes, though the sadness was still visible. I smiled. “Go for now and rest, Jessica,” I said, then I looked at James beside her. “You too, James.” I looked at them both. “I will take care of Adrian. I wi
I sat in the car, staring blankly outside. I sighed. I looked at the hospital again in front of me. I didn’t know how Arzhel would react later. But aside from that, I didn’t even know how to tell him that I needed to stay with Adrian for a while. That would be ridiculous. I would take care of ano
“Wait here,” I told the two security guards who escorted me to the hospital. They nodded. Arzhel still didn’t know that I had security with me every time I went out. It was Veronica’s idea. I twisted the doorknob slowly. I looked at Jessica, who just stood and came closer to me. James was sleepin

He was busy pouring another shot. I was just looking at him. Not at his hand, but at his face, hair, and jaw. When I looked at his eyes, I saw him already looking at me while drinking the shot of tequila. I looked away right away, which made me look stupid because I looked like someone who was caug
Janna hesitantly nodded. “I’ll talk to Arzhel too. We will cancel the launching of our mall branch and main branch. We will send the stocks here in New York.” Janna nodded. “Don’t worry, we’ll recover again. Once the insurance is released, we can start with the rebuilding,” I said. Hopefully th
The next day, I had different scheduled meetings. So I mentally prepared myself for the stress I might encounter. But before that, I needed to eat breakfast so I could have enough energy. When I went out of my room, I saw Arzhel and Veronica in the living room, seated. They were both quiet. Arzhel
