On a bright Saturday morning, breakfast had just ended. Lucas wiped his mouth with a napkin as Velia cleared her empty plate and started tidying up the dining table. “It seems like we should get ready soon, Ve,” Lucas said. Velia, who had intended to get up with her dirty plate, paused. “Get ready?” she asked before something crossed her mind. “Are you serious about accompanying me shopping?” “Again and again,” Lucas sighed and shook his head. He finished a glass of water before continuing to speak. “Why do you often doubt my words, Ve? Have I ever done the opposite?” “No,” Velia shook her head with a smile. “It's just that I thought not many men like to accompany women while shopping.” “You always have my exceptions.” Velia was taken aback. Was there a blush on her cheeks? All she felt was warmth creeping there. “T-then...” Velia took a deep breath and stood up. This time, she would really tidy up the dining table. “...this dirty plate can wait for Diana's arrival.” The righ

Lucas was captivated. Wrapped in her office suit and formal attire, Velia remained enchanting. “You look beautiful,” he said. Velia looked at herself, either directly by lowering her gaze or by looking at her reflection in the mirror. “Isn't this too much?” Velia felt a bit awkward. It was somewhat uncomfortable to wear branded clothes to work. Her track record did not allow that to happen. What would people think? “I think it's not something worth discussing,” Lucas replied as he approached Velia. He turned his body and smiled. “You look perfect in this outfit.” The shirt, skirt, and shoes fit her body perfectly. It was not overdone, but rather impeccable. Lucas satisfied his eyes by capturing Velia's appearance that morning. He occasionally caressed her upper arm. “How about we have breakfast now? I don't think you want to be late on your first day back at work, right?” It took Velia and Lucas no more than twenty minutes to enjoy their breakfast. Shortly after, they went dow

There was a car parked not far from the Greatech gate that afternoon. The driver, wearing sunglasses, sat alone inside. There were no passengers, only himself. The man's eyes stared at the rearview mirror, which had been positioned to directly face the office gate. He gazed intently, wanting to make sure who entered and exited from there. A vibration in his jacket pocket interrupted his surveillance. He picked up his phone and was not surprised to see who was calling. “Hello, Sir.” “Boy.” The greeting came from the other side. His voice conveyed impatience. “Are you in position now?” It was Boy, the man assigned by Ricardo, who was currently waiting to spy on Velia, just as instructed. “I've been here for half an hour already, Sir,” Boy replied calmly. His gaze remained focused. “You don't need to worry. This isn't the first time you've used my services. Velia won't escape.” “Of course, and that's why I entrusted this task to you. Just to make things easier for you, today Veli

A naked woman wriggled as her sleep was disturbed. It was caused by a middle-aged man who woke up beside her. He was Ricardo. He had no other choice but to hire the services of a sex worker to satisfy his desires that night. Ricardo turned his head. His sweaty face grinned. His hand reached out and repeatedly patted the woman's buttocks. The woman moaned. Her face lifted from the pillow. She displayed a seductive expression while teasing Ricardo. Her bright red lipstick-covered lips smiled mischievously. “Again, Daddy? There's a discount if you choose the all-night option.” Ricardo's grin widened. He leaned down and playfully nibbled on her buttocks. “What's your name?” Ricardo asked to confirm his memory. “Angel?” Angel nodded. “Yes, Daddy. Angel. Your angel who's ready to accompany you all night long. There was a reason why Ricardo chose Angel among the many women offered. It was undoubtedly related to Velia. The name Angel reminded him of Velia Angelica Howell. Of course, V

Boy closed the bottle of mineral water he had been drinking, then threw it onto the passenger seat while keeping his gaze focused. His eyes were directed and unblinking as he observed each face entering the Greatech building that morning. According to the plan, Boy was already in position on Monday morning. He wanted to confirm the truth behind a nagging suspicion. Boy waited calmly and patiently. However, he did not see Velia's arrival until the office gate became deserted. The answer was obtained. Boy grinned meaningfully and accelerated the car. This might be a little challenging, but that's okay. The harder the job, the bigger the payoff. I just need to find a loophole. She won't be under surveillance forever. * Velia and Mecca had just finished enjoying their lunch when they heard a ringing sound. It came from Velia's phone. The name displayed on the screen prompted her to answer immediately. Mecca remained silent but listened to the brief conversation that took place. When
