2026-03-20 13:00:57The meeting room door shut firmly behind him.
Ethan didn’t care about any of it.
As far as he was concerned, he was doing exactly what needed to be done. Every decision he made, every policy he enforced, he believed he could stand by all of it.
Or at least… that’s what he kept telling himself.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The city stretched out beneath him, busy as ever—cars moving in steady streams, people rushing from

“You really have a talent for making bold decisions,” Gia remarked, folding her arms across her chest as her eyes swept over Auri from head to toe, still looking like she couldn’t quite believe it. “In your condition, and you chose to travel out of town?”Not far from where Gia stood, two large suitcases were already lined up, ready to be loaded into the car—one hers, the other Auri’s.Auri adjusted her sunglasses with a calm, unbothered motion. “My divorce is being handled by Ms. Collins. There are only a few documents I need to prepare. This project, on the other hand, isn’t something I can just hand over to you. I need to see the venue myself.”Gia let out a short laugh. “Well, I guess I don’t have a choice but to follow you. A good assistant goes wherever her boss goes—especially when it comes to handling a project. I’ll make sure I’m always right there with you.”

“All right, then. I’ll see you in court. And I won’t make it easy for you to get what you want, Auri.”The words lingered in Auri’s ears for a few seconds, as if they refused to fade even though the call was still connected. She didn’t respond right away. Her fingers tightened slightly around her phone, but her expression remained composed—calm, flat, almost unchanged.“Suit yourself,” she said at last, her tone short and even.She didn’t leave any room for further discussion. Without waiting for a reply, Auri ended the call and slowly set her phone down on the table. The soft tap it made against the surface sounded louder than it should have. For a moment, she simply stared at the dessert in front of her. The sweetness that had caught her attention earlier now felt dull, almost tasteless.Lucas didn’t speak immediately. He glanced at her briefly, then looked away, giving her space without

“Not just handle it,” Lucas corrected calmly. “I want you to design the entire floral concept.”Auri fell silent for a moment.“This isn’t just decoration,” Lucas continued. “I want the flowers to be part of the visual experience. Not just a backdrop.”Auri’s gaze dropped back to the folder in her hands. Some sections even showed direct integration between the dresses and the surrounding floral elements, shapes, even the mood they were meant to evoke.“…This is quite complex,” she murmured.Lucas nodded. “That’s exactly why I don’t want to hand it over to a generic vendor.”Auri looked up.“I’ve seen how you work,” he went on. “The details most people overlook… you turn into the focal point.” His tone remained professional, measured. The kind of confidence that came from someone used to handling l

That morning, the shop was anything but quiet.The bell rang almost nonstop. Orders came in one after another, and Auri barely stopped moving from the moment they opened. Her hands worked swiftly, her steps steady—everything flowing in a rhythm she knew by heart.Even so, she didn’t ignore her condition.There were moments when she paused, sitting back in a chair tucked into the corner of the shop. Not to rest completely—just enough to ease the strain in her body. Gia handled part of the workload, and with orders increasing day by day, Auri had even decided to bring in an intern to help.“Auri, what time is the moth orchid order being picked up?” Gia asked without looking up, her hands busy wrapping another arrangement.“Four this afternoon. Mrs. Hans wants it delivered straight to the venue.”Gia gave a quick thumbs-up.Meanwhile, Auri returned to arranging another bouquet, following the orde

“…A lawyer?” Rick blinked, momentarily caught off guard. Canceling meetings—only to schedule a legal consultation?“I won’t repeat myself, Rick,” Ethan said, his tone edged with warning.“Y-Yes, sir. I’ll arrange it right away.” Rick quickly excused himself, questions swirling in his mind. But there was nothing he could do except follow orders.***An hour later, Ethan was seated in a private meeting room.Several important reports lay open in front of him. He skimmed through them with sharp focus, though part of his attention remained elsewhere waiting.It didn’t take long. The door opened, and a middle-aged man stepped inside with calm, measured strides. “Good morning, Mr. Ethan.”“Morning,” Ethan replied shortly.They exchanged a brief handshake before taking their seats across from each other.“I’ve received a brief overview from your assistant,” the lawyer began. “He mentioned you’re seeking legal consultation. I’d like to hear the details directly from you.”Ethan didn’t answer

Morning came like any other day.There was no trace of last night’s chaos—at least, not on the surface.Ethan looked immaculate. His suit fit perfectly, his shirt crisp without a single crease. His hair was neatly styled, his expression calm. As if the man who had sat staring into a glass of wine all night was someone else entirely.But only Ethan knew—nothing was truly over.He made his way down the stairs, already preparing to head to the office. There was something he needed to take care of. Immediately.Downstairs, the atmosphere in the kitchen felt… different.Familiar voices reached him before he even stepped into the dining area. Anna. And his mother. The warm scent of breakfast lingered in the air, drifting softly toward the dining table. Plates were neatly arranged, thin wisps of steam still rising from freshly prepared dishes.His mother stood by the table, inspecting each dish with her usual precision—a habit that never changed. “Don’t make the soup too salty,” she said, he

After Auri said it, no one spoke.Anna—and especially Ethan—looked stunned. His eyes were wide, as if he couldn’t believe she had said those words so easily.But the truth was, every word Auri had spoken came from a place of deep disappointment. How could the man who had once been so attentive, so

“Ma’am,” Ms. Sonia called softly. “Where… are you going?”She gathered the courage to ask. For the past few days while taking care of Auri, she hadn’t seen a single sign that the young woman had been packing. So… when had she prepared all t

Anna cleared her throat softly before speaking.“If you’re still upset about the cake I gave you, I’m sorry—even though it wasn’t my fault. I didn’t know you had a severe peanut allergy. If I had known—”“Ah, since you brought that up,” Auri cut in, her gaze shifting slowly toward Anna. “I already

Auri turned toward him. “Good afternoon. How can I help you?”The man hesitated. “Um… my usual order?”Auri blinked in confusion for a moment, then realized dawned.“Ah—the ten lilies gentleman?”Her words drew a faint smile from him. “Yes. I’d like to pick them up now.”“Would you mind waiting for
