As soon as Vivian and Jaime left, Luna left too. Mrs. Maggie was surprised by the girl's nature but that wasn't her main point of worry right now. After calling the housekeeper to clear the table, she quickly changed clothes and called driver Karon to take her to the place where Jaime and Vivian went yesterday.A moment later, the car parked across the street from a small house, she observed the short white fence surrounding the yellow house that exuded a quiet happiness. The yard is large, and the flowers and lawn are well-trimmed and cared for. Curtains are drawn tightly to maintain the privacy of the house. A small two-story house built not too many years ago and still in good condition. Mrs. Maggie nodded at the house where Hodja lived.“Did they come here yesterday?” Mrs. Maggie wondered."Yes, my lady." Karon nodded from the front seat."It looks like there's no one in the house." She leaned toward the window. "We'll wait here until someone arrives.""Yes, ma'am." Karon nodded a

"They are mostly older men but even old men will have teeth as sharp as knives hidden behind their smiles. Your father has set your first mission. All you do is show them you're capable." She lowered her finger to the paper. "I'll give you a hint to help you survive the meeting. Read this."Jaime's eyes drifted to the paper then back to her."You're the director. Don't forget that."~~~~~It was not a pleasant feeling to know that he fired them just because of their age. He even hated himself when he saw the excited approval sparkling in the board members' eyes when he mentioned it.The streets were jammed with traffic at rush hour, and he sat in the car waiting for the red light to turn green, wondering if his father was more cold than he had ever imagined. He did not like this position, having the power to decide everything as if he were the king of an empire. Jaime doesn't want to make others suffer but he's doing exactly that. If his father did the same, he wanted to do it differe

The fragrant smell of food filled my nose as Vivian approached the kitchen. The smell of butter permeated the air along with the sweet freshness that made Vivian's stomach growl. Tightening her grip on the tray, Vivian stopped as she got closer to the kitchen, feeling her heart become both wary and nervous. She should have left the teacups in the living room for her mother to come in and clean up but in the end, she didn't.Clicking her tongue, Vivian pushed her forward, across the tiled floor, she placed the tray on the table, near the sink. Empty teacups rattled as her mother washed them."Are they gone?" Mrs. Maggie asked."Yes." She didn't look at her mother, deliberately placing her eyes elsewhere."I just made some sushi. Do you want some?" her mother asked."No. I want to take a shower." Turning around, Vivian quickly walked out of the kitchen so as not to talk to her mother.The phone rang as she walked out of the bathroom. To her surprise, she saw Hodja's name appear on the s

Vivian stood still as people passed by, bumping into her on the street. She'd never felt worse than this, she craved Jaime by her side to a degree she couldn't even fathom.Reaching into her pocket, she took out her phone and called him. For a while, she heard the phone ring continuously, along with a haunting beep until her call went to voicemail.Maybe Jaime is very busy. It was only his second day at work but he was so busy with work. After being with him every day, Vivian forgot how to deal with loneliness. Now that he's gone to work, loneliness haunts her all the time but she can't do anything about it. Jaime made her believe that he would always be there for her.Pressing a hand to her forehead, Vivian fought to calm herself and then took a taxi. She needs to do something. Hodja is angry, before he comes back to drag her back, she needs to turn things around. And before Jerry and Hodja join hands, Vivian cannot sit still and let everything be lost. It was with great difficulty t

Jerry had never heard of this problem. It wasn't like Vivian had shared anything with him but to hear these things from the mouth of another girl, and that girl was the one Jaime should marry, was truly upsetting."Really?" He asked coldly. "What does that have to do with Vivian?""You care about her, right?" She said, noting the defensive note in his voice. Jerry felt his expression twist in annoyance but didn't confirm her suspicions. "Jaime needs someone with business ability in addition to a woman waiting at home.""Their marriage is none of her business." He says."No, I believe it is." She coldly dismissed his idea. "How Jaime performs as director affects the company, and how the company operates will affect the JK Construction partnership. Vivian brings no benefit to this.""You have no right to decide that.""I'm Jaime's advisor." She raised her head, signaling power. "Jaime is vulnerable, he is and always has been. I believe you know Jaime stands on a deeper level in their re
