Samuel squinted his eyes for a moment. Taking a deep breath, the man tried hard to push away whatever he was currently thinking. However, instead of disappearing, the shadow of the memory of the conversation with Valerie yesterday echoed in his mind.Yesterday, Samuel was indeed surprised by Valerie's sudden arrival in his room. Not only that, but his ex-girlfriend also acted as if nothing had happened in their relationship. Trying hard to be friendly, she seemed eager to release the longing as if there were no faults or sins before."What are you doing here?" Samuel asked sharply as Valerie sat in the chair in front of him."I miss you, Honey. I really want to hug and kiss you like usual," she answered playfully, seeming to forget the wrongs she had done to the man in front of her.Samuel laughed bitterly, completely ignoring Valerie's words. He appeared indifferent and unwilling to respond."I'm busy, Valerie. It's better if you leave.""No," the long-haired woman shook her head. "W

Samuel appeared quite busy finishing some tasks before heading to a meeting outside the office. After a while, there was a knock on the door, followed by Axton entering with a large folder that he wanted to show to his boss."Excuse me, sir. Sorry to disturb you again," Axton said."Yeah, what's up, Axton?" Samuel responded without turning away from the papers he had been reading."These are the copies of the marriage agreement you made. They were returned by the notary yesterday afternoon and officially canceled. So, at this moment, your marriage to Mrs. Arianna is just like any other regular marriage. There's no more binding agreement as in the beginning."This time, Samuel raised his face, shifting his focus from the stack of papers to his assistant standing in front of his desk."Thank you very much for the help and the new information you just provided. I'll take the file for now. After this, I'll destroy it," Samuel said while accepting the folder from Axton and placing it on th

Arianna observed closely as Samuel presented with one of his clients. Despite frequently witnessing her husband engaging in serious conversations like this, for some reason, Arianna couldn't hide her admiration. When he was serious like now, Samuel's handsomeness and charisma seemed to increase by 100%. Actually, her husband had always been handsome. But, for the first time, she truly realized and enjoyed his handsomeness up close."So, how about it? Is Marigold willing to collaborate with Pacific?" Samuel asked at the end of his presentation.Sandara Muller, the Singaporean female client, smiled. She glanced at her assistant or perhaps her team members. They exchanged signals, then turned back to look at Samuel while extending her hand for a handshake."Both of us agree with the offer that Pacific just outlined. If this condotel project is promising, there's no reason we can't expand its scope to Singapore.""With pleasure," replied Samuel. "Pacific is ready to invade anytime. Everyt

In this morning, according to the agreement, it was Samuel's turn to prepare breakfast. Spaghetti Carbonara paired with warm milk was the specialty that he served for his wife to enjoy.While taking bites of his food, Samuel continued to smile so broadly. Whatever was on his mind, it caught Arianna's attention, prompting her to directly question her husband."Why are you smiling like that without any clear reason?""I'm German, you're French. I've noticed, you're getting sweeter."Arianna sighed lazily. For God's sake, if she hadn't married Samuel, she might never have known that his personality was so different from his appearance. His face was arrogant, but his heart was like a Hello Kitty. Even his habit of uttering strange sentences sometimes left Arianna stunned. Yes, like this morning, for example."Stop being unclear. It's still morning, Samuel. Don't start," Arianna said while enjoying her food."I'm serious, dear. It's okay if my behavior is unclear. But my love for you is de

A short while after reading the news his assistant handed him, Samuel's phone incessantly rang. He wasn't sure who was calling him at that moment.Turning to Randy and Axton, who were still in his office, the three of them seemed to be brainstorming, thinking carefully and cautiously. They certainly wanted to determine what steps to take, considering that the news would undoubtedly cause a significant commotion."Axton, please call Arianna and ask her to join us here right away."Axton promptly followed Samuel's instructions. In just a minute, Arianna was standing in front of Samuel."What's going on, Sir?" Arianna asked curiously. Seeing the tense expressions on the faces of the three men around her, Arianna wondered what was really happening."There's bad news. I'm sure this is not good for us and the company."Arianna's eyebrows furrowed. Without needing an invitation, she pulled a chair and took a seat."What's actually happening?"Randy, standing right next to Arianna, reached fo
