Jessica was surprised. What was he saying? She was still going, but not with an airplane? Those words confused her even more. Justin glanced at Kelvin and instructed, "Take us to the hangar.""Okay, sir." Kelvin immediately drove off. Using another route, he arrived at the airport hangar. Jessica's eyes grew wide as a private jet came into view.Justin on the other hand couldn't take his eyes off her. He had been waiting to get that reaction from her, seeing her as surprised as can be made him chuckle softly. As long as she was his woman, even as a pretend wife, she would always get the best of all the good things in life."Well, there you go," he said, tearing Jessica's gaze away from the private jet and onto him."You mean I get to travel in that?" she quizzed."Yes, you do. Now get out of the car; the earlier you take off, the better." Justin got out of his side of the car and breathed in the cool, fresh air, allowing it to envelop his body.Jessica, on the other hand, was waiting

Jessica's eyes were fixated on the doctor as she waited to hear what the bad news was. Her heart was beating faster than normal. Was her hand really irreparable? Would she never be able to hold a scalpel with her hand again? Was she truly done as a surgeon? A million thoughts swirled through Jessica's mind.Dr. Richard, perceiving her anxiety, studied her carefully before a smile spread across his face."What is the bad news, doctor?" Jessica questioned. She didn't understand why he was smiling when what was at hand wasn't something to smile about. What she didn't know was that Dr. Richard only smiled to ease her tension."Well, Dr. Jessica, being a doctor, I am sure you are well aware of how dangerous having damaged tendons and nerves can be, especially in a sensitive place like the fingers," Dr. Richard explained calmly. Jessica already knew where the conversation was headed.She already knew Dr. Richard was about to tell her that her tendons and nerves were damaged. What she didn't

Jessica wondered what exactly was going on. Were her eyes deceiving her? Why was she seeing a credit alert notification of 5 million dollars being wired to her bank account?It took her a while to remember where it must have come from. When she did, she sighed and sank into the bed. It was a month already, and as per the agreed-upon contract, she was to be receiving the sum of 5 million dollars monthly.After the contract had been drafted, Jessica had completely forgotten about the money she was supposed to receive. Seeing an alert now made her feel a little bit guilty. She didn't want the money.She had come to love Justin deeply and hoped that he loved her too. To Jessica, even though Justin might not love her the way she loved him, she still didn't want his money. He had already done more than enough for her, shown her so much care, and helped settle all her bills; he had even made her mother fall in love with him.Jessica chuckled at the thought. She remembered how, whenever she c

Justin abruptly got up from his swing chair and banged his hand on the table."What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Justin's cold voice rang out, reverberating across the room. Kelvin, who was both scared for Nicholas and his boss, took a few steps back. It would be unwise of him to interfere at this stage as things had completely gotten out of hand.Nicholas stood where he was, as if he had been glued to the spot. It was obvious he was a bit scared, but he had come too far not to see his mission through. Holding the document in his hand up and pointing it directly towards Justin with slightly shaky hands, he said with a hard voice, "Why did you turn down my proposal for funds to be disbursed to my department?" For some reason, Nicholas' voice carried a certain aura of power that pissed Justin off.Justin's face immediately turned cold as if covered in frost. Kelvin stared at him in fright, he could swear he had never seen his boss this angry. Glancing at Nicholas, he noticed his

Immediately after Nicholas left Justin's office, he rushed through the secretary's office and headed straight for his own office. Justin's secretary glanced at him, noticing his uneasiness as he passed. She became perturbed, wondering if something was the matter. Why was Mr. Nicholas looking anxious just now? She rose from her seat, intending to head towards her boss's office but thought against it.Mr. Justin had made it clear several times that he was not to be disturbed by her unless there was an urgent matter related to the company. She also remembered that Justin was in the office with his personal assistant, so if there was something wrong, Mr. Kelvin would have come out to raise an alarm.Not satisfied, the secretary approached Justin's office and placed her ear close to the door. She could hear nothing. She sighed, remembering that Justin's office, like many others in the company, was soundproof. If anything were happening inside, she wouldn't be able to hear it.With head bow
