"What the hell? None of these projects are profitable? We have to get the money before the end of the year because the bank bill is due soon!" Hunter slammed all the documents on the table and scolded his managers who were looking at him with deadpan eyes. "That's what happened four months ago. Our lucrative projects have been halted ever since the scandal surrounding Arnold's death hit the air. The government created a re-auction system, and our company lost. The company currently handling the project is Light Corp.” “Shit! Why all this happened and I don't know? My father never said anything to me.” Hunter ruffled his hair in frustration. He was almost crazy with all the problems that came pouring at him. And lately everyone in his office seems to distrust his leadership. After his father died, he had no shield to protect him anymore. He begins to hear unpleasant rumblings from his employees about the case of his death being faked. Then they had doubts about the death of his par

Milla opened her eyes and yawned widely. She straightened her body, then stretched her hands in the air while moving her neck from side to side to relieve the aches in the nape. She saw the bed beside her was empty. But the pillow Ezra used last night still made a dent in his head. Last night Ezra actually accompanied her all night. They talked on the balcony while waiting for the cleaning service to clean up all the mess that had happened in the kitchen and room. Mila is honestly happy because Ezra still cares about her. Ezra also promised to find the terrorizer and punish him as severely as possible for spreading terror on her. Mila smiled gently imagining their conversation last night. If only Ezra had made such a good impression from the start. Then their kisses. Good grief! Mila's cheeks flushed remembering the kiss. She had never been kissed so tenderly before. Especially by Ezra. So far, Ezra always kissed her brutally, as if Ezra was angry when he kissed her. But last night

At eight o'clock Mila was dropped off by Ezra in front of her office. Today they started the morning smoothly. No fighting, no arguing. Ezra had promised to pick up Mila this afternoon at five. Besides that, Ezra didn't say anything about where he was going to track down the terrorizer. Mila also did not try to find out. She didn't want to ruin their beautiful day this morning. The first time they were together and without arguing. In fact everything is sweet stuff. “Ms. Milla?" “Oh, Mr. Peterson. Nice coincidence." Mr. Peterson walked with wide steps toward Mila who was standing in front of the elevator. "Good morning. It's a coincidence that you're here, Mr. Peterson. I want to talk about the deal with Light Corp.” "Are you sure you want to cancel it? It's a shame to throw away a company as good as Light Corp." “No, I thought otherwise this morning. We will continue our agreement. You're right, I should try to team up with them.” Mr. Peterson smiled with relief. The lines on

-00- Mila was checking a pile of financial reports when someone knocked on her office door quietly. "Come in." Mila's eyes did not move from the pile of documents. She was poring over every financial data, comparing the numbers from the first month to this month, then calculating any discrepancies. Everything seemed fine at first. But the more Mila reads and compares them, she knows that something odd is going on. The financial statements are manipulated. At least the company lost about five million dollars in a month which is not stated for what the money is for in this report. “Ms. Milla." “Mr. Peterson?" Mila raised her head, surprised that Mr. Peterson who came into her room. “Sit down. Why did you come to my room?" Mr. Peterson glanced at the documents scattered on Mila’s desk. The look in his eyes conveyed a deep regret. And as he sat himself up in the chair, he let out a heavy sigh. "You must have found irregularities in those financial reports." "Yes. And that's a ve

Surprisingly Mila got a package, a medium sized box wrapped in silver wrapping paper and a red ribbon. At first glance the package looks like a very sweet Christmas present. Mila got it this afternoon after she saw the production process at her factory. As she was returning from the factory, her secretary informed her that she had received a package and had placed it on the table. Mila doesn't know who sent the package because there was no sender's name on the box. When she tried to ask Stella, her secretary, she also had no idea who the pack came from. The package was sent by a courier because Stella saw the man wearing the uniform of an expeditionary service that was quite famous in her city. Mila weighed the box in her hands. She hasn't opened it yet. She decided to open it with Ezra in the apartment. Somehow she became paranoid since she got terror last night. Maybe it was a package from the terrorizer. But she didn't want to speculate too much now as that would only stress her o

"Where did you learn to cook?" "Didn't I say before that I'm learning to survive?" "But you are very rich. You have a maid who can serve you twenty-four hours non-stop.” Mila sat on a stool and propped her chin on the bar counter while watching Ezra who was cooking. When Ezra turned his back on her to wash the vegetables, Mila wanted so badly to rest her head on his stunning back. That seems like a lot of fun. Unfortunately Ezra turned around in a hurry because the pan started hissing. Ezra did better than she did. Even his knife wielding skill is superb. Mila wonders why Ezra can be whatever he is needed at the moment. Ezra can become a company leader, Ezra can become an assassin, and now Ezra can become a chef. Mila was very jealous of all the skills Ezra had. And when she expressed her jealousy, Ezra gave her an annoying answer. "I don't like relying on maids." Ezra sautéed garlic and then performed an attraction that amazed Mila. Flames licked the pan as Ezra poured oil over

This time the message was very specific. Ezra lifted the paper, then closed the box quickly because he couldn't stand the stench. He then looked for clear plastic in the kitchen to wrap the terror paper. They may need it later to discover the identity of the terrorizer. "You okay?" Ezra appeared in the bathroom doorway three minutes later. Mila crouched weakly in front of the toilet. She still looks nauseous and is about to vomit her stomach juices again. But she deliberately stuffed her mouth with her palm so she would not vomit again. “I've thrown it away. When you're done, I'll walk you to your room." "Who sent a dead cat like that?" asked Mila hoarsely. Ezra crouched beside her and shook his head. He was quite concerned to see Mila's condition which was very pathetic. Even Mila was pregnant, but that person terrorized her very viciously. “I will find him and finish him off. Don’t worry. You're safe with me." Milla's eyes glistened. She didn't miss the opportunity to lean on

A police chief who met him and greeted him when this afternoon he set foot into the central police station in Chicago. Hunter is not surprised that a few bills can make things run smoother. Yesterday after he got the cigarette butt from Viktor, he immediately called the Chicago police and made it known that he wanted his parents' death case investigated more thoroughly, and he was happy to pay whatever the investigation fee would cost him personally. A telephone answerer who was a low ranking policeman promised him he would tell his chief about it. Then this morning Hunter got a call from the Chicago police that the chief wanted to meet with him to talk about the findings Hunter mentioned on the phone yesterday. "Please, have a sit." “Thank you, Mr. Hedenburgh. Am I bothering you?" "No. Of course not. Every day the police get various kinds of cases and problems. At any time, we actually always have work to finish. And your coming here is related to the shooting that happened to you

The sound of a horn startled Mila who was looking down to check some emails on her cell phone. When she looked up, she saw Jonas’s white Honda coming towards her. Mila could already see Jonas behind the steering wheel, waving at her. “Mila. You've been waiting long?" “Not really. I just went out and checked my emails.” "Come in." Mila got into the car and put her bag at her feet. She buckled up, but again she struggled because her belly was too big and protruding forward. "Let me help." Their hands touch each other. Mila was a little surprised and let go of the seat belt when Jonas took over. "Sorry. I'm not used to my new body condition. Yeah, you know that right? This is troublesome. I can't move freely." "I know. Don’t worry." Mila pressed her head against the back of the chair as Jonas stared at her intensely. She knew this was wrong. She meant that she had no right to go out with Jonas and be this close. And Jonas just smiled really sweetly at her and winked one eye misc

Ezra pressed the apartment bell three times and waited. He couldn't hear anything from inside the apartment and there was only silence. Ezra pressed the bell once again, but there was no response from the apartment owner. Ezra started to think the apartment was empty. So he was thinking of coming back later or tomorrow after he went to see the owner of apartment 502 before someone suddenly appeared behind him. "What were you doing in front of my apartment?" “You Mrs. Aubrey?" The woman was old, maybe around sixty. There were two bags of groceries that she clutched tightly to her chest. Ezra stepped back and tried to be respectful in the presence of this old woman. "Sorry to bother you, ma'am. I was just wondering if you called in a plumber yesterday to fix your drains?” "That's right. Robert Willey. It was Anette who recommended the man to me when I complained to her that my drains were a bit problematic. The pipes are dirty and need to be cleaned, so the water flow is blocked.”
