The atmosphere in the room had not changed at all. It was fun, the coziest house she ever had. She was just uncomfortable in several ways, including her father pushing her. "Oh dear, I miss you!" Her father approached her. They hug to release the longing between them. Aria missed her father, but she always tried to hold back. She became a less expressive girl in front of her father. The best way for her to show how she feels is through her sometimes rebellious attitude towards her father. “I have prepared many things for you, have you seen them?” Aria nodded her head. This house has a special room nicely decorated to welcome the new year. There will be lots of gift boxes neatly arranged on the floor. It was not only a gift from her father but also from her father's acquaintances. "I'm tired, I need a warm bath and rest!" she said Fantino sighed heavily; he could indeed hug his daughter. Only Aria had never been so open to him. From long ago, Aria was closer to her mother than her

Lucas and Aria had been separated for more than two weeks. The new month that Lucas had just passed suddenly felt even more empty than usual. He tries to stay strong, but it turns out that he always encounters times that are so fragile. “Today you can't get drunk anymore! What's wrong with you sir? You've missed important meetings three times. I'm sorry that I always indulged you in going to that bar,” Alex protested. Lucas sighed heavily; he didn't expect Alex to take him to a rooftop restaurant. According to Alex, his boss has to eat food, so he doesn't think about alcohol anymore, "You don't understand this!" Lucas protested “Which part did I not understand? I don't see any serious problem you're having. You run the company well. Those thugs didn't cause any trouble either, your underlings at the academy are fine too, so what else?" Alex had always been silent; he was interested in provoking a one-on-one chat with Lucas, but this time, it was enough. Lucas was completely out of

Lucas and Aria had a small argument because Aria didn't want to be too restrained. She wanted freedom, which he needed most in her life. "I'll be fine, let me and Megan enjoy some free time even if it's for a bit, OK?" Aria reassured Lucas. He didn't get out of his car before Lucas agreed with his words. He had let Lucas accompany him, but not by making Lucas follow in his footsteps. Lucas glanced out the car window; he saw Megan waiting for Aria at the coffee shop. There was no one there besides Megan. The atmosphere was not what Lucas had imagined. It was just a hunch, which made him guard Aria even more tightly. “Alright!” Lucas relented Aria showed a happy smile; she got out of the car without feeling the suffocation she felt. Lucas just stared at Aria from a distance and let her enjoy her time. "Aria has grown up, she understands your worry!" said Alex. It took patience for him to explain many things, to his boss who acted like a child, when he thought of a woman. Is it possi

“I can't stop thinking, how could you let him manipulate data? Tell him right now to my room.” Lucas released his anger. He has visited his subsidiaries in several areas today. He checks the progress of his project. It wasn't a big project, but one of the depts had been manipulating the data. Even his employees copied and distributed the data to people who competed with Lucas in the business world. “I'm sorry, sir, it's my fault for being negligent in this matter.” his secretary Maria lowered her head; she didn't expect to be fooled. The deputy deputy division is responsible for projects in the east and is a good person. He is so friendly and works hard that even his subordinates often praise him as a man who is not stingy. They always get the job done on time. “Maria, I'm not interested in hearing your apology. Call that bastlard to my room right now!” Lucas said firmly One more hour is the time to go home from work. Lucas held back his emotions all the way, making his mood erra

It's been three days since the incident. Lucas gave a convincing threat, so Carlos gave up and tried to keep his mouth shut. Since then, Carlos has never contacted Aria again. Aria had forgotten everything; she just needed to ensure her days returned to normal. For today, her friends in her class were busy discussing the figure of the man who was the guest lecturer for the day. “Are you sure that man? Gosh, if only I were rich, I would tease him confidently,” said the curly-haired woman sitting before Aria. She was busy discussing the figure of the man with her three friends. Aria and Megan sat behind them, casually listening to the ladies gossip about the upcoming guest lecturer. “Ouch, you girls!” she said Aria shrugged her shoulders. They only care sometimes when there is a guest lecturer. Sometimes, the guest lecturer's way of delivering material could be more exciting, so Aria was never too interested in guest lecturers. "I heard that this man is also close to the son of our
