Diana froze mid-sob. "You’re friends with her, of course, you’re siding with her," she said, voice filled with grievance.Herman finally spoke up, "I heard what you said too. This restaurant has good surveillance, and the audio quality is pretty clear. Want to check the footage?"At his words, Diana’s face turned pale."You... you’re all bullying me!" she cried, tears streaming down her face as she let out a shout and ran off, wiping her face as she went, like she’d been wronged in the worst possible way.Tiana watched her go in disgust. "She’s the one who bumped into someone and spilled champagne all over them, and now she’s the one crying?"Maria’s cold eyes followed Diana’s retreating figure before shifting to Sidney. "It seems you two are quite close. Are you going to cover her compensation too?"Sidney’s dark gaze locked onto Maria’s, and after a moment, he nodded. "Fine."Maria’s lips curved into a smile, but the coldness in her eyes only deepened.Suddenly, Sidney leaned in clo

Maria stared into Herman's eyes, noticing the sincerity and warmth in them. There wasn’t a hint of deceit. She smiled and said, "Whoever you fall in love with is going to be very lucky."Herman smiled back and clinked his glass with hers. "I think that’s the least anyone deserves. Every person is an individual, free in their own right. Love shouldn’t be something that traps or binds you. It should make both people better, not something that drags them into endless suffering.""Well said!" Maria clapped her hands, downing another glass of wine.Herman watched her, his brows knitting slowly. After a pause, he asked, "That man earlier... you know him, don’t you?"Maria nodded, "Yes. He used to be a designer in my studio. Now, he’s my business partner."She drank a bit too quickly, and the alcohol hit her fast, a rosy blush creeping onto her cheeks."At first, the way things started between us wasn’t great. It was full of calculations and ulterior motives. I thought once everything ended,

Maria forced herself to stand and open the door. Sidney was already there, his eyes narrowing in concern when he saw her pale face and the way she was hunched over in pain.“What happened?” he asked as he stepped forward to steady her.Maria leaned into him, her voice weak. “My stomach... it hurts a lot. Take me to the hospital.”"Alright," Sidney said, his tone serious. He helped her sit down in a chair, quickly grabbing her phone and bag before lifting her into his arms and hurrying out of the room.As they reached the hallway, Tiana happened to return and immediately blocked their way. "Hey, where are you taking her?""Move," Sidney said, his face dark with urgency.Tiana looked at Maria, noticing how pale and sickly she seemed. She was clearly in bad shape.Without further argument, Tiana stepped aside but followed closely, her voice filled with concern. "Maria, do you still know what's happening? Do you know who’s carrying you?""Yes," Maria whispered softly.Hearing that, Tiana b

Maria blinked a few times, then said, "I’m feeling a bit thirsty."Herman shook his head gently. "You can’t drink water right now. How about this—I’ll use a cotton swab to moisten your lips. It’ll help a little, alright?"Maria was silent for a moment before asking, "When can I drink water?""In 24 hours," Herman replied.Immediately, Maria’s expression turned despairing, and she closed her eyes, looking defeated. "I’m really thirsty..."Herman didn’t say anything more but turned and busied himself. Moments later, Maria felt something cool and moist on her lips. Startled, she opened her eyes to find Herman sitting at the bedside, holding a cup of water in one hand and a cotton swab in the other, carefully moisturizing her lips.His expression was focused, his eyes resting solely on her lips, without any other intention. The room was brightly lit, casting clear lines across his handsome features. His calm, attentive gaze made Maria pause for a moment.It was a strange feeling, unfamil

Maria had been cooped up in the hospital for a week, and today she finally had the chance to stretch her legs with a walk around the artificial lake. Her body felt stiff from lying down for so long, and the cool breeze against her skin was a welcome relief from the heat.Herman walked beside her and asked, "Are you thirsty?""A little," Maria replied."Wait here, I'll grab some water," he said, turning to leave."Okay." Maria smiled, watching him walk away before turning her attention back to the lake. The hospital grounds, usually weighed down by an oppressive atmosphere, seemed lighter with people around, many of whom were also enjoying the fresh air."Ha, what a two-faced woman," a snide voice suddenly interrupted her peace.Maria turned to see Diana standing a short distance away, glaring at her with hostility."Are you talking about yourself?" Maria asked, blinking innocently. "That's quite an interesting self-reflection.""I’m talking about you!" Diana snapped, storming closer. "
