LOGIN"Are you awake?" asked the figure after standing right next to Grace.
The woman was still staring at the figure as if she didn't believe it. "Yogie?" The man smiled and took a seat then sat next to the woman who could only lie down. "Where am I?" Grace asked. After seeing the condition of the place, it seemed impossible that he was still in a hospital. "At Mr. Carson's house," answered Yogie. Grace looked at the man confused. "Why am I at Mr. Carson's house? Shouldn't I be hospitalized?" Yogie no longer spoke. The man instead looked down for a moment then looked at Grace again as if he was looking for an answer that could answer the woman's question. But Yogie couldn't find it. Exactly don't know how to explain it to Grace. Amidst the silence of the place, someone opened the door. a man in a doctor's attire. Smiling kindly as he walked towards them. Yogie got up from his seat to give the doctor space to check Grace's condition. "Everything is fine, just waiting to recover," said the doctor. "Thank you, Doc," said Grace with a sigh of relief. Even though he still felt pain in his body, at least the doctor said he was fine. "You're welcome. Then I'll excuse myself," the doctor said goodbye. Grace and Yogie just nodded slowly when they saw the doctor leave the room. Not long after the man left, someone entered the door again. And this time the person who came was of course the person who would answer all of Grace's questions. "Thank God you're awake," said Carson, looking very happy to see that Grace had opened her eyes. Even that woman was looking at him now. "Yes," answered Grace briefly. "By the way why did you bring me to your house, Mr. Carson?" Actually, Grace didn't need to ask. From the woman's gaze alone, Carson could see how curious she was about the situation that was happening. "Did any of the Fathers bring their children home?" *** Carson never knew that his girlfriend, Cindy, was pregnant with his child when the man had to carry out his father's orders to continue his studies abroad. The sudden departure meant that Carson didn't have time to say goodbye to Cindy. Not to mention that when he got there, Carson stayed in the dorm so he couldn't contact anyone. Time passed. Carson, who had grown up and was given the responsibility to take care of the company, forgot about Cindy. In fact, because he was too focused on his work, Carson also forgot to get married. but he is quite naughty and can sleep with many women. Even at his current age. Carson eventually returned to his home country. Several places he had visited with Cindy made the man think of his girlfriend again. He don't know if he can still call it like that or not. Finally, Carson found out where the woman was. Unfortunately, Carson discovered that Cindy now had a family. And the man couldn't do anything. he could only be grateful because it turned out that Cindy had found her happiness. Carson decided not to bother Cindy. He is just a past that should be forgotten. Right? But fate seemed not to want that to happen. "Miss Cindy apparently had children before marrying Mr. Hans," said a man who Carson ordered to find out about Cindy. "What? You mean she's remarried before?" asked Carson, not really understanding what the man meant. "No," he answered shaking his head. "Miss Cindy has children without a husband." That was quite surprising news for Carson. Remembering that Cindy is not an easy woman who can sleep with just any man. He was lucky to be able to conquer Cindy's heart which was as hard as stone. The man in front of him then handed Carson a piece of paper. a photo to be precise. "I think you'll understand after seeing this," the man said to Carson. Carson's eyebrows knitted together when he saw the figure in the photo. "If my guess is correct, it seems that the girl in the photo is most likely your daughter." Carson's eyes suddenly widened when he heard the man's words. He didn't know what to say. Because the girl in the photo is a figure he knows very well. Grace. One of his riders at the training center. Without thinking, Carson looked for a way to prove that Grace was really his child by doing a DNA test. Carson didn't know how to describe his feelings when he finished reading the letter from the hospital which proved that he was really Grace's father. especially with all the events that have happened to them so far. First, when he and Grace were rumored to be together like lovers. Carson chuckled softly at the memory. It was really annoying, especially after he found out that Grace was his child. and the second is about Grace and Paul's relationship. That is true. If before Carson knew that Grace was his child he wouldn't have minded that, it's different now. Carson can't accept that Grace is with Paul. Seriously, he wouldn't want his precious daughter to be with a man the same age as her. Actually, Carson couldn't wait to tell Grace that he was that woman's father. "Can't we cancel the meeting?" Carson asked his secretary. "I can't, Mr. Carson. This meeting is very important," answered the woman who turned out to be Angel. Carson also just found out that Angel is Cindy and Hans' child. Grace's half-sister to be precise. "Just let me go to the training center," said Angel again. Carson took a deep breath. He went there not only to take care of work but also to meet Grace. But it can't be helped, his work is also important. "Okay," Carson finally answered. That was the moment Angel met Grace. ***Al was having lunch with a woman. And what made Lucy even more angry was seeing the two of them chatting and laughing.No. Lucy couldn't let it happen.Without thinking, Lucy approached them and immediately pulled the woman's hair back, making her fall. Deep down, she was delighted to see the woman in such a state. But that didn't last long. When Al approached the woman instead of her, Lucy was again overcome with jealousy, which turned into anger.She was about to attack the woman again, but Al held her hand."Let go of me! I have to teach this woman a lesson about not bothering other people's husbands!" Lucy snapped, trying to break free. Instead of getting free, she had to widen her strides to follow Al, who was dragging her somewhere.And here they were now. In Al's office."Aish!" The man snorted harshly as he loosened the tie that felt suffocating him. His body suddenly felt so hot."What are you doing, Lucy?" he asked, turning to look at Lucy, who was still standing with tears
"Good morning, Mr. Albert.""Good morning."That greeting continued until Al finally arrived at his father's office. Because Paul was overseas on other business—at least that's what everyone knew—Al had been entrusted with managing the company.This wasn't the first time Al had had to manage his father's company. He had worked there before. Of course, not as a boss, but as a regular employee. Paul didn't want Al's status as his son to make him arrogant. That's why he told Al to become a regular employee first. If he was good enough, he would be promoted.And Al proved it. His education in business paid off. Al was quite reliable to Paul. However, at that time, Al chose to quit and continue his studies so he could improve. And now he was back. Not as a regular employee, but as a boss.Knock...knock...knock."Come in!" Al said, inviting anyone who knocked on his door to enter."Good morning, Mr. Albert!" A woman in rather sexy attire greeted him as she entered Paul's office, now known a
A few days later...The place had been completely decorated. The mansion, already luxurious from the start, now looked even more festive with various floral decorations in various places. Carson always preferred holding parties at his own mansion rather than renting a hotel.Today was the important day, when Carson would officially introduce Grace as his daughter. The man in the black suit was chatting with some of the guests who had already arrived. His attention was diverted when he saw someone entering through the main door.Paul and Jonas, his secretary."Welcome, Mr. Paul!" Carson greeted him pleasantly. He might have hated Paul, but he had to welcome him tonight as his guest. Perhaps a special guest.Paul smiled faintly. "Good evening," he replied."Please come in." Carson personally led Paul inside to mingle with the other guests. But that didn't make Paul happy. For some reason, Carson's attitude was very suspicious. Considering he was the one who had separated him from Grace.
Grace paused for a moment when she saw Yogie and her father in the living room. They seemed to be discussing something, but Grace couldn't hear them. After a full day of shutting herself in her room, she finally decided to come out. Besides, she couldn't just stay silent, could she?"Grace!"Yogie, the first to see Grace, immediately called out her name.Carson turned and gave her a faint smile. Grace smiled as well and continued to sit with the two men. The atmosphere was awkward, as Grace didn't know what to say. Her father must have already known what had happened today."How was the meeting? Did it go well?"But her father's question confused Grace. She turned to Yogie as if to ask if her father didn't already know what had happened. But instead, he chose to leave."I'm going to have a quick smoke outside," Yogie excused himself. He knew the father and daughter needed space to talk privately. He was afraid his presence would make things awkward for them."Okay," Carson replied, no
"So, Dad, have you found Grace?" Al asked, his face beaming."Yes. In fact, I met her this afternoon," Paul replied on the other end of the phone.Al felt a sense of relief and happiness. They had been searching for Grace for a long time, and they had finally found her."How is she? Is she okay?" Al asked again.Paul nodded as if the person on the other end of the phone could see it. "She looks great. She just looks a little different now.""Different?""Wait a minute. I will send a photo."It only took a few seconds for a text message containing a photo of Grace to arrive on Al's phone. The man cracked a smile."Grace cut her hair," Al murmured, but Paul still managed to hear it."Doesn't it suit her?" Paul asked, wanting to hear Al's opinion."Yes. Very suitable," Al replied without taking his eyes off the photo."Don't worry, I'll bring Grace back."Al remained unmoved. Even he himself didn't know how to react to Grace if she actually returned and was with her father.Was Al ready
Without further ado, Carson went straight home after Yogie called. When he arrived, he found Yogie sitting in the living room."Where's Grace?" Carson asked quickly."She's in her room," Yogie replied with a slightly weary look. He didn't look the same anymore. His tie was out of place. His previously neat hair was now a mess. He was a complete mess now.Carson was about to leave, but Yogie stopped him. "She doesn't want to be disturbed right now."Since they got home, Grace had locked herself in her room without a word. Yogie had tried to coax her, but she hadn't responded, which ultimately led him to give up and give Grace some space to herself.Finally, Carson could only sigh as he stared at the stairs leading to Grace's room. The middle-aged man loosened his tie slightly and sat down beside Yogie."What exactly happened there, Yogie?" Carson asked. He had only heard a little earlier, and now he needed a more detailed explanation."Uncle Paul came with Mr. Ivander.""So he really w
