After getting out of the room, he took out his phone. “President Smith, you may come over now. She is ready.” “Very well.” Titus Shaw hung up the phone after that. He stared towards room 309 with a complex gaze. ‘I’m sorry, Lyla.’ ‘Please forgive me.’ Lyla woke up in a daze, her head stinging with pain. “Titus?” she called out, dazed, yet the room was without a soul. She got up from the bed and slowly walked out of the room. The dizziness in her head was too much. She did not know why and how it happened. Just then, she heard a conversation. “Boss, are you going to 309? I heard that the woman inside is very beautiful. It seems like you’re very fortunate today…” ‘309?’That was the room she was in. Even though her head was still spinning, Lyla could still pick up the threat within the lines. When the elevator door was about to open, she looked up and saw the room in front of her. Room 308. She wanted to hide inside there. Her hands held the door knob and whe

At that moment, Gretel came charging into Lyla’s embrace and kissed her. “Mummy! We believe you! Please don’t push yourself too hard! Gretel will be very sad! When we grow up, Hansel and Gretel will take care of mummy!” Her words made Lyla Lowe so happy that she could die in peace. “Very well! When you grow up, I will be in your care!” said Lyla. To have to raise them was her happiness. All the effort, pain, blood, and tears she suffered through to give birth to the two of them was all worth it. Hansel merely glanced at the mother and daughter. He was not for one to join in such a… commotion. “Mummy, are we going back to see grandfather?” Gretel asked. Lyla suddenly remembered what happened seven years ago.When she returned home that day, her father had already brought home another woman. She did not blame him for not being faithful. She only felt bad for the death of her mother. And when that woman came into the house, Lyla felt that the house was no longer a place for

Lyla smiled. For someone to make little Gretel to be so dramatic, he must be handsome to a certain caliber. She could not help but raise an eyebrow and asked, “More handsome than Felix Smith?” “Mhm…” Remembering Felix Smith, Gretel thought hard and compared the two in her mind. “Better, if not the same!” Lyla laughed and could not contain herself when she said, “You little minx!” “I’m not! He really is handsome!” “Alright! Alright! Come on then. We must hurry up and go home!” Gretel nodded and the two pushed the little shopping cart to the payment counter. Meanwhile, outside the supermarket, Kathleen Turner was still clinging to Mark Pattinson as they walked out. “Mark, as I recalled, you were never one to like kids!” “Really now?” Mark replied with a question. “Really!” “Those shouldn’t be my kids…” he said. Kathleen remained quiet as she stared at him. Sometimes, the man was truly an enigmatic presence one would find hard to understand. When they returne

Right after she left, Kathleen went in to wash her hands. While washing, she frowned suddenly. It felt like she had seen the woman from earlier but she could not put a finger on when and where. She thought about it but could not recall the memories. So she decided to just let it slide. She went out of the establishment after that. Once she arrived outside, she found Mark Pattinson waiting outside. He saw the look on her face, as if she was thinking of something. He asked, “What’s the matter?” “Nothing. I bumped into a crazy lady,” Kathleen said simply. Mark Pattinson smiled in a gentlemanly fashion and put it behind his mind. “Let’s go then.”Kathleen nodded. She had been with Mark for so long and she knew that there was one rule she must understand—be mature.Mark Pattinson did not like a woman who caused trouble. That was why she would want to behave well. The two got into the car and left. Meanwhile, Lyla returned to her booth, and Abigail immediately turned to her

When they arrived at the Department of Design, Miss Lockhardt gathered everyone with a clap of her hands.“Everyone, this is the newest designer joining this department. She has been transferred directly here from a branch. She will be in charge of Group A from now on. Everyone turned to listen when Miss Lockhardt spoke. It seemed that everyone here was friendly to each other; evidently, there were people still joking around. “Miss Lockhardt, why are all the beauties in Group A? When are you going to send us Group B some ladies?” The joke was dropped and the atmosphere immediately lightened up. Miss Lockhardt said, “Hey! Group B has some handsome hunks, you know?” “And because of that, there’s conflict here!” …Lyla listened and laughed. “Greetings everyone, my name is Lyla Lowe. You can just call me Lyla. I hope we all can work together and get along happily!” “Not a problem. Treat us during teatime and we will all be happy to work with you!” Lyla smiled and said, “
