I still couldn’t get the problem with Blu Arte’s out of my mind. Absent-mindedly, I went home to Bryle’s house and headed straight to my room. I didn’t go to Bryle’s room where I had already grown used to sleeping beside him. Instead, I chose to isolate myself here so I could think clearly.

I stared at the ceiling, trying to process every possible reason behind the gradual downfall of Blu Arte’s.

Could Aeun and Haze possibly be right about their suspicions? What if they were

    After finishing the tasks Aeun had placed on my desk, I leaned back in my chair and quickly checked my phone to see if Bryle had called or at least sent a message. But as usual, there was nothing.He had been sulking since last night. It was obvious—he left me in the room after asking about Jacob. He never returned that night. The next morning, I didn’t see him either; the maids said he had already left early for work.To be honest, I don’t know what to do anymore. I already have too many problems with the company, and now this conflict with Bryle has added to it. I feel increasingly restricted, as if every move I make is being limited.“Eli, have you finished everything I gave you?” Aeun asked as she suddenly entered my office. I smiled at her and gave a slight nod. She approached me, staring as if deep in thought.“Why? Do you have a question?” I asked.“Weird,” she muttered, frowning as she narrowed her eyes at me, as though

    “What did you say? Jacob apologized to you?” I glanced at Aeun when I heard her faintly sharp tone. “And you forgave him just like that? Just like that? Didn’t you even make him pay for what he did to you?” “Aeun, why would I do that? He hasn’t done anything truly wrong to me. He said it was all Grandpa’s plan anyway, so what reason would I have to be angry at him?” “You know, you’re far too gullible,” Aeun snapped, dropping the folders she was holding from the table with a clatter, visibly frustrated. “You believe him so easily. You’re far too innocent, Eli. It’s obvious that Jacob is just manipulating you because he doesn’t want his image in your eyes to suffer! Wake up, Eli! You’re completely blinded by the goodness he’s showing you!” “It’s not like that. I just really know Jacob,” I defended quickly. “Maybe if you tried to get to know him, you’d find him kind too.” “Even if he can manipulate you, he won’t be able to foo

    The weight of everything refuses to leave me. Even in silence, the problems surrounding Blu Arte’s and Lee Corp continue to echo inside my mind, overlapping until I can no longer separate one from the other. A sense of unease settles deep within me—what if the news has already reached the Lee clan? The thought alone is enough to make my chest tighten.I don’t even know what to prioritize anymore. One problem follows another, relentless and unforgiving. The companies I’ve been handling feel like they’re slipping from my control, and now, I find myself hesitating.I need space. I need to think.As I drive toward Bryle’s house, my mind remains clouded, my grip on the steering wheel slightly tighter than usual. But then—something catches my attention.I stopped.I stared at the familiar person I noticed.Fleur?She’s standing outside a convenience store… talking to Bryle.For a moment,

    I still couldn’t get the problem with Blu Arte’s out of my mind. Absent-mindedly, I went home to Bryle’s house and headed straight to my room. I didn’t go to Bryle’s room where I had already grown used to sleeping beside him. Instead, I chose to isolate myself here so I could think clearly.I stared at the ceiling, trying to process every possible reason behind the gradual downfall of Blu Arte’s.Could Aeun and Haze possibly be right about their suspicions? What if they were correct—what if Fleur and Jacob were behind the scheme to destroy my company?No. I shouldn’t accuse them without solid proof that either of them is truly responsible.Besides, it seemed unlikely that Jacob would sabotage my company. He was one of Blu Arte’s sponsors. He would never do such a thing to me.I ran my hands over my face in frustration. I was already exhausted from overthinking everything happening in my life. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do anymor

    When we returned to Rome, I went back to Bryle’s house. That morning, I stood on the balcony with a brush in my hand, slowly painting across the canvas resting on the easel. My phone suddenly vibrated on the small table beside me. I paused and glanced at the screen. It was secretary Fort. A strange feeling settled in my chest as I opened the message. My brows slowly knitted together as I read his words.'There is a serious problem with Blu Arte’s. The board requires your immediate presence.'My heart dropped.Without hesitation, I put down my brush and hurried inside. The painting remained unfinished behind me.By the time I arrived at the Blu Arte’s building, the tension in the building was already suffocating. Employees whispered among themselves in the hallways. Some glanced at me with worried expressions while others quickly looked away.Something was very wrong.When I entered the conference room, every member of t

    The following morning, the members of the HGS Clan gathered to discuss the matter that had lingered in their minds—the identity of the so-called Mr. Scammer.We were seated around the long table in the lounge area, the atmosphere unusually serious. The usual laughter and teasing that often filled the air were absent. Instead, a quiet tension hung in the air.Kurt was the first to speak.“Zeke already conducted an investigation about the scammer that we discussed last time,” he began, his voice steady but firm. “He managed to trace the identity of the man we’ve been talking about.”The room grew even quieter. I felt an inexplicable tension build within my chest, though I did not understand why. Something about Kurt’s tone made my pulse quicken.“And?” Haze prompted, breaking the silence.Kurt exhaled slowly before continuing.“The man who pretended to be a pastor… the one responsible for those fraudulent donatio

    I woke up when I felt that there was no one beside me. I immediately scanned the room to see where Bryle was, but it seemed he was no longer in the room. I sighed and slowly got up, and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.I stared at the mirror as I recalled everything that happened la

    With no hesitation, he carried me and leaned me against the wall. I was wearing my robe, and the helm got easily lifted, exposing my legs. I anchored my legs to his hips and wrapped my arms around his neck as we continued to kiss passionately. I got lost in the moment as I felt his warm lips on m

    My gaze returned to Bryle again; I didn't know what to say first. He was smiling and gestured for me to open the box. So, I followed and opened it— earrings… I'm not sure if I'll be disappointed or not. “I saw it when I came to the mall, you see? Its shape is a rose, just lik

    My eyes were surprised by what I saw in the dining area. I blinked several times at the woman eating there. Her eyes met mine, then she smiled and said, "Hi! Are you having breakfast?"“A-ah…” I couldn’t even say a word, I don't know her.“Ah, yes, you don't know me yet, so allo
