Shaira's emotions slowly settled as she processed Stefani's words. Without hesitation, she rushed to join her on the ground, gripping onto her arms tightly.The questions poured out of her one after the other, desperate for the truth. "Are you being honest? Do you truly not love him? Are you considering a divorce?"Stefani's expression turned sorrowful as she nodded slowly. Her voice trembled and tears streamed down her cheeks as she responded, "Y-yes. I'm not lying... I... I will take over the company and learn about it, and then I will d-divorce him."Just the mention of divorce shattered Stefani's heart into a million pieces. She didn't want this to happen, but she also didn't want to be the cause of someone's suffering.Shaira's anger subsided, and she immediately embraced Stefani. "Thank you for telling me the truth! I'm sorry for slapping you! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let my anger take control!"Stefani bit her lower lip, swallowing the lump in her throat even tho

Jacob's desk was now adorned with a large stack of files. However, this time it was Stefani who occupied the chair, not him. As she stared at the papers before her, a profound disappointment filled her eyes, and the mere sight of them made her feel weary.She picked up one of the papers and began to read it. After a moment, she returned it to its place and let out a sigh. "I can't make sense of any of these documents...""But Missus Hansley, Missus Carter said you can't leave the office without submitting a report," Liam interjected, placing the final papers on the desk. "Should I inform them that you're unable to fulfill this task?"Stefani immediately shook her head and grabbed the folder, ready to start reading. "This is the new project, correct?"Liam nodded. "Yes. Mister Hansley was supposed to review them, provide feedback, and sign off on them. However, since he's not here, they're still pending. If you're not confident in approving them, you can leave them as they are.""I und

Stefani gazed at her reflection in the mirror, admiring the subtle makeup she had applied. With a light touch, she applied a lipgloss, completing her look. She wore a stunning backless red dress that accentuated her figure. As she examined herself, she couldn't help but compare her appearance to Shaira's. Shaira exuded an air of maturity, while Stefani possessed a youthful aura. The thought crossed her mind that perhaps Jacob could still love Shaira again because of their differences… Tonight was the much-anticipated dinner that Jacob had mentioned. He was already downstairs, patiently waiting for her. However, Stefani hesitated, unsure if she wanted to attend after learning that Shaira's family had also been invited. The idea of sharing a table with someone she harbored bitter feelings towards was unappealing. Nevertheless, just as she was contemplating her decision, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. "Stefani, are you ready? They asked us to be there by 8 pm. It's alre

As Stefani descended in the elevator, she lifted her head, desperately trying to hold back the tears. It reminded her of that time when she was soaked in the rain and Jacob heartlessly abandoned her without a second thought. It was the same thing now…A bitter smile played on her lips. There was no way he would chase after her, especially now that he was back with his ex-girlfriend. Maybe they were having a heartfelt conversation at her place. She tried to push these thoughts aside, knowing that dwelling on them only made the pain more unbearable.When she finally reached the ground floor, she took a deep breath and bit her lower lip, determined not to cry. "You can't cry, Stefani. Only weak people cry..." she muttered to herself. With a heavy heart, she began typing a message on her phone for her driver to come and pick her up.However, there was no response. In the end, she decided to call a cab instead. Stepping out of the building, she glanced back, hoping to see Jacob chasing aft

Stefani couldn't tear her eyes away from Shaira's message, her mind consumed by the words on her phone. She barely noticed when the car came to a stop and Jacob opened the door for her. It was only when he raised an eyebrow, questioning her silence, that she finally turned her attention towards him. With a smile, she stepped out of the car.As they walked together, Jacob wrapped his arm around her waist, concern etched on his face. "You look pale. Are you okay? If you're not feeling well, I can take over your work and send you home."Shaking her head, Stefani reassured him, "I'm fine. I'm just trying to remember everything you've taught me about work.""I'm glad you're now enjoying working but remember not to push yourself too hard. Take it one step at a time, and you'll learn everything," Jacob advised, his voice filled with encouragement.Stefani chuckled, but her mind was still preoccupied with Shaira's message. As they reached the top floor, she caught sight of Shaira's back and f
