I gulped while I felt my cheeks heating up. I secretly released a slow breath. Why did it suddenly feel hot? I saw Arzhel glance at me. Poker-faced, then he opened the folder in front of him, acting innocent. I composed myself and focused on the presentation. After almost an hour, Janna and Etha
After Janna left, I busied myself with work. I looked at the pile of contracts in front of me. “Wow,” I said and smiled while I shook my head. Then I started to get and read some contracts there. The first contract was about a celebrity who wanted to collab with us for her incoming birthday cele
“Just finishing some tasks so I could hand them all to you,” she said. I looked at her laptop again. I was about to tease her, but then I saw her nervously glancing at her laptop too while smiling widely, trying to act innocent even though she herself knew I caught her. In the end, I just slightly
I looked at Adrian. I wanted him to meet Arzhel and get to know more about him as a man, but then, I needed to talk to Arzhel first, knowing that he didn’t like how Adrian reacted back in New York. “I want you to know him,” I started. “He’s a changed man now, Adrian,” I said. “But I need time.” H

I went back to my office frustrated. My aura was so cold and heavy that the people I met in the lobby hesitantly bowed and greeted me. I guessed this was the first time they saw me like this. Normally, when I’m not in the mood or stressed, I have a serious face, but my aura is still calm, and whe
As far as I remembered, I only had three shots of tequila yesterday, but why was my head still hurting? Or maybe it was from the lack of sleep? I checked my phone. It was just 7:30 am. My eyes shifted to my palms that had small wounds from clenching them yesterday. The image of me slapping Arzhel
“Mommy,” Arriana entered. She was holding her jigsaw puzzle. I set aside what Arzhel said. He was making it sound like she prioritized me, and I didn’t know how to react to that information. I thought Arriana would run all the way to me, so I turned my seat a little and slightly opened my arms so
“What brought you here, Arzhel?” I asked him. It felt like the first time I saw him again in my office after he started seeing Stephanie. I walked back to my table, not waiting for his reply.
