Ansel's evasive silence made Erica believe that Desi's words were true. So, it turns out that Ansel has the woman of his life. With this newfound discovery, for some reason, Erica felt a bit disappointed and saddened. And then an invisible force struck her heart heavily. The feeling of pain and discomfort in her chest was indescribable. Not knowing how to deal with the turmoil in her mind and heart, Erica decided to leave the room. She also didn't want to stay and interfere with the conversation between Ansel and the girl. Erica contemplated saying a farewell to make her exit, but she ultimately chose to leave in silence. She believed it would be better that way. Erica thought to herself that nobody would be in the right mood to notice her disappearance. Unlike Erica's beliefs, Ansel can sense Erica's departure even without looking at her. His heart somehow conveyed that to him. And for some reason, the loss seeped into Ansel's troubled heart as Erica left. At that moment, Ansel sud

After crying for a while, Desi also stopped. Ansel didn't want to attract public attention, so he asked Kevin to take Desi home. Desi initially refused, but Kevin threatened her with the possibility of losing advertising contracts if she neglected her work. Furthermore, if Desi insisted on staying here, rumors could arise about her gaining fame through a close relationship with Ansel. If that were to happen, it would cause damage and affect both Desi and Ansel. Hearing this, Desi appeared worried and obediently listened to Ansel. What Desi needs is fame, admiration, and praise from everyone. This is something that Kevin can easily exploit to manipulate and persuade her. When Desi and Kevin left, Nika returned to Ansel's room. "Hello, Ansel. How are you feeling?" Nika spoke up as soon as he entered the room. He seemed concerned about Ansel's outburst. "Right on time. I have something to ask you." Ansel's voice sounded ready to pounce and tear into Nika for revealing his secret to De

Realizing that Ansel was distracted and not in a defensive state, Nika delighted in launching an even more powerful and forceful attack. "Erica is not only intelligent but also beautiful, isn't she?" "Yeah," Ansel unconsciously nodded. Ansel had to admit that Nika's words were true. In Ansel's eyes, Erica seemed like a goddess. Her beauty was vibrant and graceful, with delicate features combined with captivating, clear eyes that Ansel couldn't take his eyes off. "Erica is not only beautiful but also has a very compassionate and kind heart. Those are rare qualities in a girl. If someone captures Erica's heart, they truly receive great happiness." Nika casually laid the bait, and Ansel carelessly fell into the trap. "You're right," Ansel agreed when it came to Erica's beautiful character. To Ansel, Erica was like an angel: "I've never met anyone quite like Erica." "The impression Erica has left on you is quite special, isn't it?" Nika asked with fascination. “Indeed," Ansel admitte

Finally, the much-awaited day has arrived—Nika's date with Erica. Nika has planned dinner, a movie, and a walk, but everything depends on Erica's agreement. If she doesn't agree, then it will just be a normal movie session between them. Nika has left work early to have time to prepare and impress Erica. He is currently tidying up his desk, storing important documents in a locked cabinet, and bringing the others home to deal with later. The appointment is at 8 p.m., and it is only 5 p.m., but Nika is very excited to see Erica soon. It would be dishonest to say that Nika doesn't have feelings for Erica. However, he doesn't want to pursue anything with her, knowing that she has a crush on Ansel. Moreover, Ansel also seems to have romantic feelings for Erica. Nika's priority is to confirm Ansel's feelings for Erica. He tries to encourage and even provoke Ansel to approach Erica bravely. If Ansel does approach Erica and she is accepted, Nika will step back and be happy for both of them. Bu

Erica tightly clutched her exam admission ticket, which had her registration number scribbled on it. She widened her eyes, struggling to locate her results on the notice board. However, there were many people blocking her view, and being of modest height, Erica found it hard to see anything. Ansel silently stood behind her, observing the situation, and decided to help when he saw Erica struggling. Ansel walked up to her and stood next to Erica, briefly glancing at her admission ticket. Then he looked at the notice board. Ansel was fortunate to be tall enough to see the information on the notice board more clearly than Erica. “4222023. That's your registration number, Erica. It's right at the top of the board," Ansel said. "Congratulations, Erica. You have passed the exam," he continued. Erica was focused on looking ahead, but when she heard Ansel speak, she immediately turned to look at him with an expression of surprise. "Really?" Erica asked, her face filled with excitement. "I
