Kelsey slowly walked into the bar lounge.

Just as Janet had told her, Ramon was there.

But seeing him with her own eyes still surprised her.

He was sitting on the sofa with his back slightly leaning against it. Unlike his usual perfectly dressed appearance, he was wearing only his black nightwear.

    Jason was still holding Ruby's hand as they reached his car.He opened the passenger door for Ruby as usual before walking around to the driver's seat.The car slowly pulled away from the building, leaving Stephen still standing there.Ruby glanced at him."You are always on time," she praised him, happy that he didn't keep her waiting.But Jason didn't say anything.His eyes stayed on the road, and although his expression was calm, there was something about him that didn't look right.Ruby's eyes twitched at his lack of reaction.She studied him for a few seconds before exhaling softly."You shouldn't take what Stephen said to heart," she said gently, thinking he was upset because of Stephen's words.Of course, that must be it.No man would be happy after being talked down to like that. But he shouldn't feel bad because of it. To her, Stephen was just being an arrogant person.Jason gave her a brief glance before returning his eyes to the road. "I'm not bothered by that."Ruby didn't

    The clock struck five.Ruby shut down her computer, stretched her arms, and let out a satisfied sigh."Finally."She grabbed her handbag from the drawer and slung it over her shoulder.Just as she was about to leave, a cheerful voice called out behind her."Leaving already?"Ruby didn't need to turn around to know who it was. She sighed inwardly before putting on a polite smile.When she turned, a tall, handsome man in a tailored suit was already walking toward her.Stephen Cole.The son of one of the company's major shareholders.He stopped in front of her with a smile that seemed to grow wider every time he saw her."Done for the day?" he asked.Ruby nodded. "Yes.""Perfect." Stephen's smile deepened. "Then let's have dinner together."Ruby maintained her polite smile."I'm sorry, but I already have plans."Stephen wasn't discouraged. "Cancel them."Ruby chuckled, mostly at his audacity, but still responded, "I can't.""Why not?""I'm meeting my boyfriend."Stephen laughed as though

    After taking her bath, Kelsey changed into her nightwear. For several minutes, she sat quietly on the edge of her bed. She had told Ramon they would talk when they returned home.But after they arrived, they had dinner almost immediately, and before she could bring up the conversation, Ramon had already gone upstairs.Taking a deep breath, Kelsey stood up and walked out of her room.She needed to have that conversation with Ramon tonight. They would both leave early for work tomorrow.The mansion was quiet.Soon, she stopped in front of Ramon's bedroom. She knocked twice.There was no answer.Kelsey waited for a few seconds. Maybe he had already fallen asleep.She was about to turn around when the door suddenly opened.Ramon stood behind it. His hair was still wet, showing that he had just finished taking a shower. A white towel was wrapped around his waist, and his usual cold and serious expression was replaced by surprise."Kelsey..." he called, clearly not expecting to see her stan

    The elegant restaurant was quiet and peaceful. Soft piano music filled the air while people enjoyed their meals and chatted in low voices.Near the window, Jason and Ruby sat across from each other.Unlike their usual bookstore dates, today was different. It was their first real date.Ruby glanced around the restaurant excitedly before picking up her phone. "Jason.""Hmm?""Smile."Jason had barely looked up when—Click.Ruby looked at the picture and smiled. "Not bad." She immediately raised her phone again. "One more."Jason sighed. "You said that was the last one.""I changed my mind."Click.Jason looked at her helplessly."Ruby..." he called softly, glancing around to see if anyone was looking at them. "How many pictures do you need?"Ruby lowered her phone and thought seriously. "I don't know."Jason blinked. "You don't know?"She nodded honestly. "I'll stop when I'm satisfied."Jason didn't know what to say. "You've already taken a lot."Ruby swiped through the photos. "I delet

    Laura lowered her head. The red handprint on her cheek was still visible. The entire warehouse remained silent.Kelsey didn't speak immediately.She calmly pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Laura. Her movements were slow and composed. There wasn't a trace of anger on her face anymore. Somehow, that calmness frightened Laura even more.Ramon stood quietly a few steps behind Kelsey. He didn't interrupt. He simply watched.Kelsey crossed one leg over the other and looked at Laura."Let's not waste time," Kelsey said slowly. "How well you answer my questions will determine whether you leave here alive."Laura slowly lifted her head. Her eyes were swollen from crying."Why did you want me dead?" Kelsey asked in a low voice. "Don't say because you hate me. I hate you as well, but I didn't come after you."Laura's lips trembled. "I..."Kelsey raised a hand, stopping her."Think carefully before you answer." She leaned forward. "You arranged the hit-and-run accident that almost kil

    Five o'clock.Ramon glanced at the clock on the wall before looking back at Daniel. "So they insist on six?"Daniel nodded helplessly. "Yes, sir. Storm Enterprise said their CEO won't be available until then."Ramon's expression turned cold. "They're quite persistent.""They also said they can reschedule it for another day if six doesn't work for us."Ramon let out a quiet scoff. Without another word, he picked up his briefcase.Daniel looked surprised."Sir... you're leaving?""I have something more important.""But the meeting...""Postpone it," Ramon cut him off as he walked past him. "If they truly want this partnership, they'll arrange another meeting."Daniel could only nod."I understand, sir."...Nearly thirty minutes later...The black Bentley slowly drove into the Ivory Mansion.The car had barely stopped when Ramon stepped out. He walked into the house with quick strides.The moment he entered the living room, he saw Kelsey already waiting.She had changed into a simple cr

    Kelsey stepped out of her room after changing into the dress. The soft fabric brushed gently against her skin as she carefully held the side of the gown, afraid she might accidentally step on it.
