Chapter 11

Morning arrived with soft light filtering through the windows of the Harvey Group office.

Billy Harvey sat in the CEO’s chair in a neat black suit, but his expression was far from focused. His gaze was empty, his fingers tapping the desk without rhythm.

The door was knocked twice.

“Come in,” Billy said briefly.

His assistant, Cakra, stepped inside carrying a tablet. “Good morning, Mr. Billy.”

Billy only nodded. “What is it?”

“This morning, at nine o’clock, we’re scheduled to meet wit

    Chapter 11Morning arrived with soft light filtering through the windows of the Harvey Group office.Billy Harvey sat in the CEO’s chair in a neat black suit, but his expression was far from focused. His gaze was empty, his fingers tapping the desk without rhythm.The door was knocked twice.“Come in,” Billy said briefly.His assistant, Cakra, stepped inside carrying a tablet. “Good morning, Mr. Billy.”Billy only nodded. “What is it?”“This morning, at nine o’clock, we’re scheduled to meet with the designer for the latest project of the central building in Manhattan,” Cakra reported.Billy leaned back. “Designer?”“Yes. Their side requested a direct meeting with the CEO,” Cakra continued. “The initial concept will be presented today.”Billy let out a slow breath. “Name?”Cakra shook his head. “They didn’t mention a specific name. Only confirmed that the designer is the main party.”Billy fell silent for a moment. “Alright. Just arrange it.”His tone was flat. There was not the slight

    Chapter 10The sound of something shattering echoed loudly inside the silent apartment.Billy Harvey stood panting in the middle of the living room. The photo frame he had been holding moments ago now lay on the floor, its glass shattered into pieces. The photo inside had come loose, slightly bent at one corner.Billy stared at it with reddened eyes.“Damn it!” he shouted.He raked his fingers roughly through his hair, then kicked the small table in front of him. His breathing was ragged, his chest rising and falling irregularly.“Why am I like this?” he muttered hoarsely.Billy staggered toward the small bar in the corner of the room. His hand reached for a sealed bottle of red wine. He turned it slowly, staring at the liquid inside.“Just a little drink,” he whispered to himself. “Just a little.”His hand lifted, almost opening the seal.But he froze.An image of a hospital room suddenly flashed through his mind. IV tubes, the smell of antiseptic, the serious voice of a doctor.“If

    Chapter 9The night in the city felt calmer when Vivian finally arrived at her apartment. She took off her high heels as soon as the door closed, then walked to the sofa and dropped herself down with a long breath.“So tired,” she murmured.Her phone vibrated on the table. Vivian picked it up and saw Lily’s name on the screen. She answered immediately.“Hello?”“You’ve arrived?” Lily’s voice sounded relieved.“Yes. I just got in.”“Thank goodness. Tonight was really exhausting.”Vivian smiled faintly. “You were the busiest one.”Lily chuckled. “That’s my job. Oh right, I almost forgot. Tomorrow morning we have a meeting with our first partner in this city.”Vivian immediately sat up straight. “Tomorrow?”“Yes,” Lily replied. “At nine in the morning. They’re very interested in the concept you’re bringing.”“Our first partner,” Vivian repeated softly, her eyes lighting up. “Who are they?”“A large property company,” Lily explained. “They want you to design the interior concept for their

    Applause was still echoing as Vivian stepped down from the stage. A sweet smile remained on her face, even though her chest felt tight. As soon as her feet touched the ballroom floor, several people immediately moved closer.“Miss Vivian,” greeted a middle-aged man in an expensive suit. “I’m Edward Langley, CEO of Langley Group. Your work is truly extraordinary.”“Thank you,” Vivian replied politely.“I’ve wanted to work with you for a long time,” the man continued quickly. “How about we schedule an exclusive meeting?”Before Vivian could answer, an elegant woman cut in.“Excuse me, Mr. Langley,” she said with a faint smile. “I am Countess Mirabelle. We are from a small kingdom in Eastern Europe. Your designs are perfect for our palace project.”Vivian took a slow breath. “I truly appreciate your interest.”Another man stepped closer. “Vivian Wheeler, right? I’m sure your collection would be outstanding for the Middle Eastern market.”“And Asia,” another added.Within seconds, Vivian

    Chapter 7Vivian walked quickly into the hotel ballroom. Crystal chandeliers hung high, reflecting golden light across the entire room. The sound of conversations, clinking glasses, and background music blended together. The event was about to begin.As soon as she saw Vivian, Lily immediately approached her with a look of relief.“You finally made it,” Lily said, looking Vivian up and down. “I was really panicking.”Vivian took a short breath. “Sorry. There was a little… problem.”“What kind of problem made you disappear?” Lily narrowed her eyes, clearly suspicious. “You look unfocused.”“I’m fine,” Vivian cut in quickly. “How are the preparations?”Lily exhaled, then handed her the tablet. “Everything is ready. The VIP guests have arrived. The investors too. We’re just waiting for you to go on stage.”Vivian nodded. “Alright.”She was about to head backstage when Lily grabbed her arm.“Vivi,” Lily said softly. “If you’re not ready, we can postpone it.”Vivian shook her head firmly.

    The buzz of a phone shattered the silence of the dim hotel room. Vivian jolted awake, her breath uneven, her heart pounding irregularly. She turned her head to the side.Billy Harvey was still sleeping soundly. His face was calm, showing not the slightest trace of the chaos from the night before.Vivian swallowed hard.The phone vibrated again in her hand.She stared at the screen.Lily.Vivian immediately sat up, pulled the sheet to cover her body, then answered the call in a suppressed voice.“Hello.”“Vivi, where are you?” Lily’s voice sounded anxious. “The event is about to start. Everyone is already waiting.”Vivian rubbed her face. “I… I’ll be there.”“What’s wrong with you?” Lily asked suspiciously. “You sound strange.”“It’s nothing,” Vivian replied quickly. “Wait for me. Don’t start without me.”“Alright, but hurry.”The call ended.Vivian lowered the phone slowly. She let out a long breath, then looked again at Billy. The man was still fast asleep, his breathing steady, as i
