"Good morning," Mark whispered as his hands wrapped round Lily's waist. Chuckling, she melted into his warm embrace while flipping the pancakes."Good morning, feeling better?" She asked, and he hummed. Lily flipped the pancake onto a plate and set it on the table, her eyes flickering toward Mark as he leaned against the kitchen table, his arms crossed as he watched her move around the stove. “Here,” she said, sliding the plate toward him and joining him at the table. “Eat up."Mark chuckled lightly, cutting into the pancake with his fork. “Thanks, Lily. I needed this.”“You’re welcome,” she said softly, watching him as he took a bite. After a few moments of silence, she set her fork down. “So, are you going to tell me what’s really going on? I've never seen you like that, and it scared me." Mark’s hand paused midair, his grip tightening slightly around the fork. He sighed, setting it down and running a hand through his hair. “It’s nothing. Just...a minor stress from work. I’ll fi

"Father..." Bryan trailed off as he caught sight of the intimidating figure in the doorway. Grandpa Roux stood silently, his sharp eyes surveying the scene with an unnervingly calm expression. His hand rested casually in his pocket, but his presence was intimidating. “Bryan,” Grandpa Roux said, his tone cold and devoid of emotion. "What are you doing here?" Without waiting for an answer, his eyes shifted to Lily, scrutinising her as he raised a questioning brow.“And you are?”Lily hesitated, her mind blank and restless after being caught in the act. She forced herself to meet his gaze, masking her nerves with a confident smile. “Lily.""Lily? Lily who?" "Lily Turner," she replied, and the older man hummed. His eyes narrowed as he took in her appearance. "How are you acquainted with my son?" "I... Uhm... He employed me to open the vault. So I'm a hacker," she replied while pointing to the laptop. Grandpa Roux’s brow lifted slightly, his expression unreadable. “A hacker, you say

"And what if I don't want to help?" Lily smirked, her eyes locked into his in a challenging stare. Taken aback, Grandpa Roux raised an amused brow at her daring attitude. He relaxed into his chair, his eyes never leaving hers as his lips curled up into a smirk. "You don't really have a choice. Don't forget you broke into my house." "I didn't break into your home, Mister Roux. I simply came in here for business, which your son employed me to do," she countered smugly. "And you will have no basis to charge me since I didn't take anything from your house. You, on the other hand," she paused. "Will get charged for detaining me here without my consent. So I'll advise you to think twice before you threaten me." “You’ve got spirit, I’ll give you that. But don’t mistake my patience for weakness, young lady.” Grandpa Roux replied as he leaned forward, his hands clasped together on the polished mahogany desk. “You’re not in a position to negotiate.”Bryan stepped closer to Lily, his stance

"Breaking News"Lily watched as she took a sip of her freshly brewed tea. Seeing the channel was reporting the news she wanted, she picked up the remote and increased its volume.The screen displayed Arthur Grey’s face—handsome yet arrogant, with a cocky smirk that matched his reputation. The reporter’s voice filled the room, steady yet laced with intrigue."Breaking news tonight: Arthur Grey, president of the Grey Corporation, is under fire following shocking revelations about his alleged involvement in illicit activities.""Sources have claimed that Grey has been linked to trafficking and large-scale fraud schemes. This news comes as a shock to the corporate world, where Grey has long been considered a rising star."Lily leaned back into her chair, her lips curling into a small, satisfied smile. The wheels of her plan were finally in motion.The reporter continued, "Anonymous tips have led investigators to uncover documents and recordings implicating Grey in multiple illegal dealing

"Where have you been?!" Alana cried as she pulled Lily into a hug. "I tried calling you for the past five days! I even went to your apartment but was not able to get in touch with you! I almost reported a missing person to the police.""If you hadn't come back today, I would have." She added with a sniffle."Sorry," Lily smiled sheepishly as she patted Alana gently on the back. "I went to Paris on a business trip. Besides, isn't five days too long to just report a missing person?" Lily added with an amused chuckle, making Alana huff and pout."I only waited till today because someone from Bryan Roux's company told me you went on a business trip with their boss," Alana sighed dramatically. "The man told his assistant you were travelling with him, but you couldn't leave a message!""What type of boss and friend are you?!" She reprimanded while pulling Lily's cheeks playfully.Lily managed an apologetic smile while rubbing her stinging cheeks. "It won't happen next time. It was an improm
