Waiting for a Spring of My Own Chapter 18
Once everyone had left and the noise had died down, only Harrison and I remained in the office.He turned to look at me, a faint smile softening his cool features. "I won."I nodded and accepted it without hesitation. "Go ahead. What do you want? I promise I'll say yes."There was a gentle, mischievous glint in his eyes. He didn't tease me with hints or reveal his answer just yet. He simply said, "I'll tell you tomorrow."I blinked, caught off guard.I spent the entire day turning it over in my mind.I had money, a career, and the ability to stand on my own two feet.But Harrison had it all, from his family background and good looks to his talent and bright future. He was exceptional in every way.No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't figure it out.What on earth could he possibly want from me?But the next day, even by the time I finished work, I hadn't seen so much as a glimpse of Harrison.He'd told me to wait for him, yet he was nowhere to be found.Annoyed, I began tid

Yvonne's eyes reddened. She finally swallowed her pride and practically begged me."Nicolette, I'm begging you. Please help me one last time. Get Yannick to come back and help me. I'll owe you one."Watching her cling so stubbornly to her obsession, I felt the last traces of affection I had for her finally fade away. My voice took on a faint chill."Do you still not understand, even now?""People are living beings. They have their own thoughts and the right to make their own choices. He isn't an object that I can simply hand over to someone else just because I say so.""All those times you played me for a fool, used me as a stepping stone, and treated me like a mere background character in your love life, did you ever stop to think about me? I'm a person, too. I can feel pain, I can be sad, and I can be disappointed."Looking at her, I felt a sense of release. "When I was little, I really looked up to you.""You used to tell me you'd be my knight in shining armor. You'd spoil me like a

In the three months since the competition began, the once orderly, relaxed work environment had become charged with tension as two business powerhouses went head-to-head.Yannick had long been a dominant figure at the top of the business world, known for his ruthless methods, far-reaching connections, and decisive nature.Convinced that this competition was his last chance to stay by my side, he threw himself into it with almost desperate intensity.He mobilized every connection at his disposal in Zerica and abroad, drawing on top-tier business channels and high-level partnerships.In just one month, revenue from the projects he oversaw skyrocketed. The growth curves shot steeply upward, and the numbers were staggering.Everyone at the company was stunned.But he'd forgotten that Harrison was no pushover, either.He could have leveraged his privileged access to resources and connections to win the competition outright.Instead, he chose to outclass the competition through sheer busines

The moment I finished speaking, the atmosphere turned noticeably colder.The smile froze on Yannick's face.He had never been rejected by me so bluntly or so mercilessly before.His Adam's apple bobbed as he stepped closer, his voice hoarse with restrained emotion."Nico, do you really not want to see me that much? You won't even give me a chance to visit you as a friend?"Before I could respond, Harrison stepped forward and subtly drew me into the shelter of his arms. In an instant, his cool, reserved demeanor took on an unmistakably commanding edge.His cool gaze swept over Yannick, his expression calm and unruffled, yet radiating unmistakable authority. "Mr. Jordan.""She's doing just fine. She doesn't need you to make amends, and she certainly doesn't need you checking up on her."Yannick's expression darkened instantly. His gaze dropped to the hand I had linked through Harrison's arm."Nico, you haven't changed at all. You're still getting your friends to play along with your litt

After picking out a birthday gift for Dad, I held the paper bag in my hand. It felt featherlight, yet somehow, I felt a little more at ease.These past two days abroad, I'd been so busy working and growing that it felt as though I'd really managed to put all the suffocating people and problems back in Zerica out of my mind for a while.I pulled out my phone, intending to call home and wish Dad a happy fiftieth birthday in advance.But just as my screen lit up, Alfred's call came through.My fingers paused for a moment before I answered.On the other end, Alfred told me everything that had happened back home, leaving out not a single detail.After hearing the whole story, I remained silent for a long time.My stomach churned. I felt utterly sickened and disgusted.How ridiculous.When I was there, he never saw how wronged I felt or how I was falling apart. He let Yvonne cross the line with me time and time again.But now that I'd completely walked away and disappeared from his world, he

I woke to the faint scent of cedarwood.My eyes flew open. Above me was an intricately carved ceiling, and beneath me lay a soft, unfamiliar bed. This definitely wasn't a hotel.I shot upright, my head still throbbing with the dull ache of a hangover.My heart gave a sudden lurch.Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Harrison's voice came through from the other side."Awake? You have fifteen minutes for breakfast. We have a meeting with investors at the office this afternoon. This morning, we need to review yesterday's proposal, and you still have your finance lesson."I sobered up instantly and hurried to speak. "Wait a second! I got drunk last night... Where am I?""My house," he replied calmly from beyond the door.My heart tightened. I instinctively clutched the blanket around me."Then who changed my clothes?"Harrison sounded a little exasperated. "The maid. Who else did you think it would be?"Before I could ask anything else or stall for time, I heard his footsteps retre
