The Miracle of You Chapter 11
Michael was uncharacteristically while he nervously waited for Monday to come.He was a seasoned businessman who was trained to handle any kind of situation or crisis that might arise, especially during critical moments. So, he learned to put aside his emotions and focus on the current situation while thinking of a proper strategy.His father had taught him back then that he needed to be at least two steps ahead of his opponents. That way, he would be able to achieve his goals with much more certainty.With that, he also learned to keep calm even during tough times and not succumb to pressure. It took him a while to get used to it, but in the end, he succeeded. It was all so he could achieve this one goal.His goal of reaching the top, just so he could find Hailey again.A year later after Hailey graduated high school, Michael attended his own graduation. It had been bittersweet, especially after knowing that he could never see her again.A year ago, his parents asked him if he prefer

Time flew by, and before Michael knew it, Monday finally came.It had been a while since he last paid serious attention to his appearance. Of course, being the head of the company, he was expected to dress appropriately and carry himself with a dignified aura. He needed to be consistent and professional at all times, something that he learned through years of training and experience.However, this was the first time that he really looked at himself in the mirror, wondering if he looked good enough to impress. He had light-brown hair with a few strands that fell across his eyes, and his skin seemed smoother than average. The lighting in the room cast shadows on his features and highlighted the contours of his face, making him think for a moment that he was staring at a stranger in the mirror.How curious. So this was what he looked like up close…‘It’s not like I look at my face in the mirror each day,’ he surmised. ‘Usually, I would only pay attention to my outfit and then go about my

The sound of her voice calling out his name, his old nickname that she often called out of affection, made Michael’s heart skip a beat.A long time, indeed. He had waited for this moment for so, so long.Fourteen years of waiting to meet her again.She could never imagine how much he had missed her.“Lange nicht mehr gesehen,” Michael said with a smile, skillfully concealing his true emotions from his expression. “Long time no see, Hailey.”Camille’s mouth opened in surprise. “You… You know German?” she said, clearly caught off-guard.“Yeah. I studied in Germany for a while,” Michael said. “Do I sound awkward?”Since Hailey’s father was of German descent, she mentioned that he would talk to her in German sometimes at home, that he had been doing it occasionally ever since she was a child. She picked up on the language soon after, and she sometimes used it to speak to Michael jokingly, knowing that he had no clue about what she was saying.At times, she would even scold him in German,

‘This isn’t good for my heart. Imagine a handsome and successful man saying that…’ Camille swallowed. ‘Even though I know he’s just being polite… Because look at me, I don’t even look that great.’“…Who are you and what have you done with Michael Noah McGregor?” Camille finally said, trying to lighten up the atmosphere. “Have the aliens finally abducted you? Is the man sitting before me right now an impostor?”Michael looked amused, as though he had already expected this. “I am simply telling the truth,” he said in a matter-of-fact tone. “I wasn’t obligated to do so. I just said it from the heart.”‘That’s… surprisingly sweet,’ Camille thought.“I remember I had to force you to give me a compliment back at our high school prom,” she couldn’t help but tease. “You looked like you hated to say it, but in the end, you admitted that I looked nice.”The corners of Michael’s lips curved upwards. “Hmm. That I did. Your face was better looking. But that dress you wore was indeed atrocious,” he

When Christian told Camille to be his wife, he also decided to manage the branch company in Penburg. He stated that all preparations were complete and there was no reason to postpone the move.Knowing him, he already knew that Penburg was Camille’s hometown, that bastard.Camille couldn’t say no to him, so she packed her bags and returned to be his personal secretary once again. She didn’t reach out to anyone and settled into Christian’s opulent mansion, where numerous servants catered to his every need.She could never understand why he even asked her to stay and be a good wife on the weekends. There was barely anything for her to do at home, and he was rarely there, even after work. She figured that he must be having lots of fun at nightclubs or having late-night business negotiations at private bars. She didn’t care, and it was none of her business, anyway.The two of them didn’t even sleep in the same room. Christian, of course, took the master bedroom while she took the guest roo

“I’m fine,” Camille said. “Don’t worry about me. Just… keep it with you for a while, okay?”‘Please don’t ask anything more,’ she begged.“All right, then. If you say so.” Michael said. Thank god. “Anyway, I’m sure you must be wondering how much I know about you, especially how I managed to get your private number.”Camille nodded, the knots in her stomach becoming tighter and tighter.He couldn’t possibly know anything. She had to reassure herself of that.Christian had firmly kept their relationship under wraps for now here at Penburg. He probably had something up his sleeve, just like he always did.“I had my assistant check on your whereabouts,” Michael admitted. “Sorry about that, by the way. You must’ve wanted to lie low… but I just needed to know that you’re alive and well.”Camille shook her head. “It’s okay. You have your reasons.”“But don’t worry. I didn’t make a thorough investigation on you or anything like that,” he said quickly. “I just wanted to know your number and wh

When Camille arrived home after meeting with Michael, she was filled with an inner glow that she had never felt before. It was as if she’d been given hope in life again. It sounded exaggerated, but Michael was truly the breath of fresh air that she had needed for a long time now.She went straight towards the guest room and stopped before the mirror, staring at her reflection.At that moment, Michael’s words came back to her.‘You’re still so beautiful,’ he had told her in German.Who knew that an unexpected shared language between them would cause a fluttering in her stomach?‘To think that he complimented me even when I look like this…’ Camille thought to herself wryly as she approached the mirror. ‘Even I can’t recognize myself from my high school appearance anymore.’It had been fourteen years since she left this city. Fourteen years since she behaved as the good eldest daughter of the van Gowen family and prepared to inherit the family business along with her two brothers.‘I wou

Paul immediately got up from his chair and walked over to Hailey, hastily wrapping his arms around her in a tight embrace.“Sis…” he said quietly. “I’m going to be honest with you. I knew about this two years ago when Ben and I opened Dad’s private study for a prank. We… The two of us were snooping around. You know us.”He pulled away to look Hailey in the eyes, as though trying to convey his sincerity.“We found… adoption papers along with your records. There were so many, we couldn’t read them all. Dad was about to return home. That’s when we realized that… you’re not related to us by blood.”Paul swallowed.“Ben and I… we wanted to ask Mom and Dad about it, but we didn’t have the courage. We even thought at one point that we might have imagined the whole thing. But we knew it was true. Still, it didn’t change anything. We still think of you as our older sister, even now. After all, even if we’re not related by blood, we’re still family, right?” he said softly.Hailey felt tears wel
