That morning, Arsen was surprised when he stepped out of the bathroom. He saw Lily already dressed up and looking sharp in a work suit.

Arsen remained silent as Lily walked up to him.

“May I go to the office? I'm completely fine now, and it’s simply not efficient if I keep working from home,” Lily pleaded, coaxing Arsen.

Lily put on a pitiful expression to get Arsen to grant his permission. She held onto his arm, even giving it a little shake.

“All right, but you are not allowed to stay out lat

    Lily and Thomas turned around at the same time.Lily immediately flashed a smile, acted completely natural, and walked over to Arsen."Thomas is getting a headache replying to all those messages from TV stations," Lily said. She felt a bit nervous that Arsen might be suspicious, as the man simply gave her an unreadable, flat look."I came by to check whether you've had lunch yet.""Usually, you ask that over text," Arsen countered. He looked into Lily's eyes, then shifted his gaze toward Thomas.His secretary avoided eye contact by staring down at his phone screen, busily typing something away."Caught red-handed, huh?" Lily deliberately put on an adorable, innocent expression for Arsen."Actually, I came here to ask a favor. Could you please transfer Hendra from the warehouse to the marketing division?" Lily asked.Arsen knitted his brows. He slid his left hand into his trouser pocket, his gaze shifting back and forth between Thomas and Lily."I haven't had lunch yet. Come with me!"

    Lily was shocked; she hadn't even had the chance to take a single bite of her food."I'll try to speak with my husband's secretary about your suspicion, but you'd better keep this to yourself. I'm afraid something might happen to you," Lily said.She saw Hendra's face turn pale."I... I..." Hendra stammered."Just act natural," Lily said. "If anyone asks why I'm sitting with you, tell them I was offering you a staff position in the marketing division," she added.Lily picked up her spoon and began eating her lunch."Eat up! And act natural," Lily instructed Hendra.A faint smile crossed Lily's face as Hendra complied with her order. She then steered the conversation in a different direction."I'm going to see my husband right after this to ask for his approval directly. It would be such a waste for a competent employee like you to stay in the warehouse for too long. Besides, the marketing division needs one more team member," Lily explained.Hendra looked overjoyed, thanking Lily repe

    That morning, Arsen was surprised when he stepped out of the bathroom. He saw Lily already dressed up and looking sharp in a work suit.Arsen remained silent as Lily walked up to him.“May I go to the office? I'm completely fine now, and it’s simply not efficient if I keep working from home,” Lily pleaded, coaxing Arsen.Lily put on a pitiful expression to get Arsen to grant his permission. She held onto his arm, even giving it a little shake.“All right, but you are not allowed to stay out late, let alone work overtime,” Arsen conceded, giving his permission.Lily’s smile widened as she nodded eagerly.They left for the office together. As they were about to enter the company grounds, a crowd of reporters was loitering around the front area.“Why are there so many reporters waiting here?” Lily asked, sitting up straight to see just how many reporters were gathered outside.Arsen was irritated to see the reporters swarming the area. He pulled out his phone and dialed Thomas.“Have sec

    That afternoon, Lily sat across from Thomas at a café.This time, Thomas did not display the fear he usually showed whenever he spoke privately with Lily. Even so, their meeting was once again kept secret from Arsen."It's been two days, but he still hasn't told me about the results of the investigation, while the news reports out there are increasingly cornering my husband." Lily began expressing how she felt."All those news reports claiming ARS refuses to take responsibility are false. Mr. Arsen hasn't met the victims' families in person, but he has prepared everything—he's even provided scholarships through university for all the children of the deceased victims," Thomas explained.Lily let out a weary sigh, her eyes fixed on her glass of avocado juice on the table. At first, she had craved the drink, but now she had lost her appetite, unwilling to take even a single sip."Why... why can't he just be like other businessmen?" Lily lamented. "Go on television to clarify the situatio

    That night.Arsen had just returned home, looking utterly exhausted. He stepped out of the car while rubbing the back of his neck, but his weary expression faded, replaced by a smile the moment he saw Lily waiting to greet him at the front door.“Why are you outside? It’s late,” Arsen asked.“Am I not even allowed to welcome my husband home?” Lily countered playfully in an affectionate tone.Lily linked her arm through Arsen’s, leading her husband inside together.She avoided mentioning the ARS warehouse fire, not wanting to distress Arsen any further.“You must be exhausted. Take a shower first,” Lily said once they reached their bedroom. “Mom came over earlier, and I learned how to cook with her.”Arsen smiled, nodded, and promptly headed into the bathroom.After a while in the bathroom, Arsen finally finished cleaning up. Stepping out, he found Lily seated on the edge of the bed.“All done?” Lily asked, standing up to meet him.“Dinner is ready, let’s go eat first,” Lily offered, t

    Lily let out a heavy sigh when Thomas sent the answer to her question.[ The death toll has risen to four people. Identification and investigations are still underway to determine the cause of the fire. ]Lily was about to reply, but Thomas sent another message first.[ Mr. Arsen has just finished meeting with Mr. Anthony. They agreed to await the results of the investigation. ]Lily quietly read Thomas's reply, then typed her response.[ Is there any possibility of a suspect being named who must be held responsible for this incident? ]Lily stared anxiously at the message she had just sent to Thomas. A few moments later, another reply came through.[ As for that, I don't know yet. It's best if you stay calm and don't overthink things. ]Lily fell into deep thought. How could she not worry about an issue that might drag her husband's name into it?Lily remained in her bedroom, hugging a pillow while keeping her eyes glued to her phone screen.Hearing a knock at the door, she gave perm
