Chapter 211: Behind The Door

Assuming that it must be Mr. Hurlock behind the door, I unlock the door and open it without peeking through the cateye. I ask as soon as I open the door, “Yes, Mr. Hurlock? Did you forget someth-” However, just when the door is fully opened, the face of the person standing in front of the door is revealed in front of me. It is a lady in black attire, with a bike helmet on her head, her black hair draped over her shoulder, and she holds a knife in her hand. It isn’t Mr. Hurlock, it is... “Hi there, Henry.” “Melonie Myers…”

Chapter 212: Please Don't Go!

Air flow, machines, birds chirping, and a woman sobbing… Those are the first things that come into my ear when I gradually return to my consciousness. They sound really vague at first, but turn louder after as I slowly open my eyes too. There, I find myself in a ward bed. My face is covered with an oxygen mask. My arms are surrounded by tubes and wires. And, I see someone burying her head in the bed, holding my hand tightly in hers. “I’ve lost our baby… I can’t lose you too, Henry… Please wake up...” she sobbed. Slowly, I raise my other hand, and lay it on her head. I caress her gently, stroking her hair th

Chapter 213: The New CEO

June, 2021. It had been almost one month since the accidents happened. I was discharged from the hospital, rested at home for a few days, took some medicine, did some simple rehabilitation practice… I am almost fully recovered. The news reported that Melonie Myers was brought into custody by the local police. The police told me that I no longer need to worry about stepping out of my house. Also, it is Wednesday morning, a regular working day for me. And so, I am now back to work at Minerva, no longer as the CEO’s secretary, but as the CEO and the owner of Minerva; no longer in skirt and lipstick, but in suit and tie.

Chapter 214: Two Years Later

April 2023. Two years later. It is spring in Chicago again, a time when the florals come back to life again, well so do the people. The warm breeze brings the voile curtains up, allowing the morning sunlight to shower on my white bed through the French windows. That is when I am woken up by the sound of this hectic city. I stand on my balcony in my robe, yawning and stretching my body at the same time. “Good morning, Chicago.” I take a glance at the scenery of the city from the top of this building, I see people and vehicles all over the streets, everyone is ready for work and vac

Chapter 215: Epilogue

The time is five in the evening. I am back in the office building, sitting on the couch, waiting for the interview session to start in approximately half to one and hour. I grab my phone out and check my messages again. I had made a few calls to Jamie through various ways, she never answered the phone, and now, there is still no sign of Jamie. Weimar is seven hours ahead of Chicago, which means it is twelve at midnight at where Jamie is. It is already the next day in Weimar, and that makes this the second day I lost the sign of Jamie. Weird… This is weird. Jamie never leaves me hanging for m

Chapter 216: The Key

After a few minutes travelling in my red Lexus LS 500, Jamie and I finally arrived at our destination. After Jamie gets out of the car, I pick up a red velvet box from the glove box and put it in my coat. I then catch her up from behind. It is a big house built next to the beach. The house is fully furnished and renovated. It is ready for people to move in and live in it. I am the architect who designed and built the house, however I haven’t decided what to name it yet. Well, anyway… I first bring Jamie through the garden on the beach, I open the door with the key and we enter the house.
