"Alex, where are you actually taking me?"Inside the car, with both eyes covered by a cloth, Nicole kept asking questions. She was both puzzled and curious about where Alex was going to take her this afternoon.Earlier, the man had contacted her, inviting her to meet instead of wanting to surprise her. Usually, when he wanted to give something, Alex would just give it directly. But this time, he acted differently. That's why Nicole became extremely curious."You'll find out soon. Just trust me, I guarantee you'll love it."Alex pulled the corner of his lips into a smile. He continued driving, and before long they arrived at their destination."Now, you can uncover your eyes."After getting out of the car, Alex gave Nicole the command. As soon as she opened her eyes, the woman was astonished, then asked innocently."Alex, what does this mean?""He said you wanted to move into an apartment? I've chosen a good one close to the office. Now, we can see and check out the unit together."Nic
Aurora gazed silently at Alex as he packed his clothes into the suitcase. Last night, after sulking for a few days, her husband finally approached her, though his tone still sounded cold. He spoke to Aurora, asking for permission to go on a business trip out of town until Monday.Being reconciled, Aurora felt relieved. Regarding the out-of-town business trip, she chose not to comment much, letting Alex go to avoid prolonging the argument."I'm leaving now," Alex said, rising. He walked slowly towards Aurora, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. "I might be home by Monday afternoon. I'll pick you up from work."Alex then lowered his face, kissing Aurora's forehead and both cheeks in turn, then hugged his wife before leaving."Take care on the road. Let me know when you reach your destination.""Sure. I'll definitely let you know. Also, sorry for getting angry with you yesterday.""I've already forgiven you," Aurora replied promptly. After all, she was naturally the type to forgive e
"You're really surprising me by inviting me to eat out on a Sunday like this."At a Korean restaurant, Aurora and Velia were seen enjoying lunch. It's rare for both of them to hang out like this. Besides being busy with patients, on weekends, Aurora usually spends her time with Alex. That's why when Velia picked her up and invited her to have lunch together at the mall, Aurora immediately agreed."Let's just call it some fresh air. Besides, aren't you tired of our packed schedules this week? Your brother Asher really doesn't give us any time to breathe."Aurora laughed. She couldn't deny that Asher always puts his all into his work. If it doesn't meet the standards he sets, don't expect any time off from him."Just be patient. Who knows, maybe after this our salaries will increase by 100%.""For me, a raise in salary might make me happy and more motivated to work. But you? You're a shareholder too. Whether your salary goes up or not, doesn't it make any difference?""Not at all!" reto

Aurora sat in her office, lost in thought. She had been pondering hard, trying to recall who among the Lumire staff she could trust to ask for help.Actually, if she wanted it easy, Aurora could ask her father. But she was sure he would ask for what purpose she needed such information.So, instead of having to come up with a reason that would ultimately end up being a lie, Aurora tried to find out on her own so she could quickly investigate the company's fund flow that Alex might have misappropriated.Before long, Aurora jumped in her seat. Remembering something, she murmured softly."Oh my, why didn't I think of that? I could ask Mr. Sandy for help. After all, he's Papa's trusted person who has stayed with Lumire until now."Aurora smiled as she nodded repeatedly. But shortly after, her shoulders slumped again. It was as if a problem suddenly approached and instantly deflated her spirits."But, I don't have his phone number. Asking Papa would be like signing my own death warrant."Au
Aurora had just finished cleaning up. Wearing a slightly thin nightgown, she stepped out of the bathroom with her hair loose and still half wet.Alex, who was sitting leaning on the bed while working on something from behind his tablet, immediately fell silent and watched. He observed carefully while pondering inwardly.For some reason, Alex felt that Aurora looked exceptionally beautiful and sexy tonight. Especially as the curves of her body were clearly visible through the satin nightgown she wore."You're not sleeping? What are you working on?" Aurora asked casually. She then sat next to Alex, getting ready to pull up the covers."I'm reading the emails that came in. But, I'm done with it now."Alex then placed his tablet on the nightstand. Shifting positions, he slowly approached Aurora."You look absolutely gorgeous tonight," he genuinely praised."So, wasn't I beautiful before?" Aurora retorted.Alex hurriedly shook his head. In his eyes, Aurora looked even more beautiful than u
It's possible that Aurora is quite lucky. She even feels like this time God is on her side.After getting Sandy's contact that she took directly from Alex's phone, the next day Aurora immediately contacted him. Making an appointment, then conveying her intention to ask for help. Aurora had to act quickly. She didn't want to waste any more time investigating and gathering various pieces of evidence to trap her miserable husband."I need Lumire's financial report for the past year. I know this isn't Mr. Sandy's department. But, I believe only Mr. Sandy can help me get it."At that moment, Sandy was a bit puzzled. How could he not be, knowing that Aurora is the daughter of the company owner and also one of the shareholders? It wouldn't be difficult for her to ask directly without going through an intermediary. But, after thinking carefully and listening to Aurora's explanation, Sandy realized that Aurora indeed needed his help."Alright. I'll try to get what Mrs. Aurora asks for."As a g
