"What do you want to talk about?"Victoria stared in disbelief at the man before her. Luckily, Maverick had brought her to their home, so no one would see or hear her frustration. Just a few minutes ago, he had made her heart pound and float. Now, this same man was upsetting her."Verick, seriously? Don't you feel like you owe me an explanation?" asked Victoria, trying to hold herself."Why are you so insistent about doing so?" asked Maverick again.'Insistent?' Victoria looked at him, confused.She didn't answer immediately because she never insisted on the plan. She just wanted to hear the reason why Maverick seemed to insist on refusing without saying anything. For her, if Maverick explained and gave another alternative plan, she would be happy to listen and open the discussion."You don't need to answer. You want to hear my reasons. Then I'll tell you." Before Victoria opened her mouth, Maverick spoke again. "Your plan will ruin both of our reputations with the company. It will r

"Don't you have a work schedule? Where are you going?" Victoria, who had just stepped out of her room, was startled by Maverick's question. He was standing before his door as if waiting for her. He leaned against it, looking at her intensely before finally stepping towards her. "Tori, we-""Karina asked me to go shopping," Victoria said, unintentionally cutting her husband off. She asked, "Sorry, what did you say?"Maverick remained silent for a while, looking at her, making Victoria slightly misbehave. She repeated the question, trying to reduce the awkwardness, "Verick? What did you wanna say?""I wanted to talk about our shared room," he replied, causing her to frown.Maverick explained, "We can't predict whether your father, my grandmother, Karina, or any of our family will come to our house. So, it's better if we prepare for it.""I agree with you. You can take care of that." Victoria nodded briefly. She continued, "Is there anything else?""Have fun."Maverick turned and walked

"Aren't you guys going to come down and see Grandma first?" The next day, Karina, who had been dropped off in front of her house, asked Victoria and Maverick who were in the car.Victoria wanted to get off and say hello to Lisa for a moment, but she turned to Maverick for an answer. Without looking at her or Karina, he replied, "Tell Grandma we have a meeting at the office."Karina's lips pouted. Victoria couldn't argue but gave a guilt-ridden look. After saying goodbye and Karina finally got in, Maverick returned to drive. Along the way, things changed.It was very different when Karina was still around. Neither Maverick nor Victoria said a word. It was the same last night when Victoria felt her husband was getting colder."Karina said Grandma wanted to see us but couldn't say so because of our busy schedules." Victoria finally opened her mouth, unable to stand the atmosphere in the car. "Should we clear our schedule for the weekend?""Isn't the weekend an important event at your hote

Someone thrust a glass of champagne at Victoria, who had just arrived at the party. She turned and looked in the direction the hand came from before finally accepting the glass."You came alone? Where's your husband?" Victoria didn't answer other than swirling her glass without drinking, as if to say not to interfere."Ever since you received my email last week, you've been hard to find. Are you heartbroken?" Gustav didn't give up and continued to engage her in conversation. Victoria began to feel offended. She rolled her eyes. "I've been busy because of this client event.""And you should be happy now because, after this party, your hotel's name will increase. Why are you moping alone in the middle of your client's party like this?" He ignored her and continued to bait her."Gustav," Victoria called in a cold tone."Yes?" the man replied after taking a small sip of his champagne."Do you believe that dead people can come back to life?" she asked, making Gustav face her directly with

Once Victoria returned to the party, she took two glasses of champagne, one of which she gave to Maverick. Accepting it, he said, "That can't be your first glass. Your cheeks have been flushed since earlier." Victoria flinched and became flustered even more, realizing her husband had noticed her red cheeks. Fortunately, he didn't realize the real reason. She cleared her throat without answering, simply enjoying the alcohol warming her throat and body. Her mind was much calmer. Perhaps because she was already a little drunk, considering this wasn't her first glass. "Tori, you came here to get drunk, didn't you?" The man didn't let the conversation go. "Verick, I won't get drunk with just three glasses. Besides, you’re here to watch over me.” At the end of her sentence, Victoria softened her voice. Maverick chuckled. “Who else would watch over you?” “Gustav?” His chuckle stopped immediately when Victoria mentioned that name. His eyebrows furrowed, indicating his displeasure. “He’s
