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

“Rest for now. I already called Janna. If anything happens that needs your attention, she will call right away,” Adrian said. I was behind him. He was fixing my pillow and bed before I could lie down. He actually looked kind of overreacting right now, as if something bad really happened to me, lik
My knees dropped to the ground. “Help!” I shouted repeatedly. I was holding Arzhel’s head, my hands were shaking, I couldn’t clearly see him now, my eyes were full of tears. “A-Arzhel,” I said, my voice shaking, and I couldn’t stop my tears from falling.
