“Good morning, Editor,” Queenie greeted Ines with a quick smile. There was a flash of contempt hidden deep underneath her smile. Ines did not notice the glower in Queenie's eyes and returned the greeting with a pleasant smile of her own. “Morning, Queenie.” After Ines entered the elevator, two other people filed inside as well. She drew a step backward and stopped right in front of Queenie. With the close distance between them, Queenie quickly noticed the hickeys on Ines' neck. She clicked her tongue discretely and recalled the scene on Saturday when she saw Ines with the old man at the hotel. A mocking smile slowly surfaced on her lips. It would appear that her hunch was correct. Ines was staring at her phone the entire while and did not notice the way Queenie was looking at her. She was reading a text that Solomon had sent her at 6:50 AM which she had only just noticed. The text read, [There’s something I still need to take care of in Monafett so I will be

Before leaving, Caleb sent a text to Ines to ask if she had anything planned for tonight and if she wanted to get dinner with him. Unfortunately, Ines claimed she was busy tonight and rejected him. Caleb did not force the issue and told her they would chat when they met again next time. Meanwhile, Queenie had stepped out of the studio after finishing her session. Upon noticing a cup of coffee on her desk, she curiously asked her colleague where it had come from. “Director Shawn’s nephew swung by just now, he’s so handsome and such a gentleman! He brought some snacks for us along with coffee. There was even a cake. I saved a slice inside the fridge for you.” “It's a shame that he’s interested in Ines. Oh well, at least we can say we did get some of his attention.” “Speaking of which, Ines matches up pretty well with him.” Queenie listened to her colleagues gossiping and suddenly perked up with alert. “What did you say? Are Caleb and Ines together?” “No, it’s mor

Ines received a call from Solomon as soon as she finished work. She stared at the display on the screen with a hint of confusion. She remembered having blocked his number. How did he manage to call her still? Solomon knew the password to her phone. Knowing that, she theorized that he must have unblocked his number from her phone while she was sleeping last night. What a man! After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally answered his call. “Hello.” “Why did it take you so long to pick up?” Solomon grumbled into the phone. It was clear by his tone that he was upset. “I was busy just now.” Ines made up a common excuse. “Working overtime today?” Ines glanced at the darkening sky outside the window and remarked, “I was just packing up and getting ready to go home.” “Are you feeling better today?” “Yeah.” “Don’t stop taking the pills even if you’re feeling better. Think of it as a safety measure in case it comes back.” “Sure.” Ines stood by the window

Ines was briefly taken aback as she approached. “What’s going on?” “Ms. Ines, here are the refreshments that Mr. Rowland ordered for you.” The food courier handed over the package to Ines. Before Ines could even get a word out, the courier was gone like the wind because he had more deliveries to attend to. “This...this is…” Ines observed the stack of containers placed at the front desk and then stared blankly at the one she had in hand. “It's all Mr. Rowland’s work. He says it’s refreshment for everyone at the station.” “Solomon Rowland?” One of her colleagues chuckled. “Yeah, do you know any Mr. Rowland in town?” “Ines, is Mr. Rowland interested in you?” someone asked unabashedly. “No, of course not.” "Then why would he..." The colleague hinted suggestively at the package Ines had in hand. Ines explained with a brisk smile, “Before Rowland Corporation signed the deal with our TV station, I have met Mr. Rowland a few times so you can say that we are fri

Jeremiah's hands were handcuffed behind his back. After being imprisoned for so long, he was not in a very good mental and physical condition. He gazed longingly at Eugenie and sighed softly. “I wish you didn’t have to see me in such a state.” Eugenie did not speak. The scene of their first meeting suddenly flashed in her mind. She was in her freshman year at the time. One day, she went to the university library to look for a book and had trouble reaching it since it was on the top shelf and she was not tall enough. She tried to jump to reach the book and ended up accidentally tipping a thick dictionary over. Her first instinct was to wrap her arms around the head and brace for the heavy impact. Unexpectedly, the pain never came because someone appeared behind her and snatched the dictionary from mid-air. That was when she turned around and saw Jeremiah standing behind her. At the time, she felt the impact not on the top of her head but deep in her heart. She could still
