Chapter 81 Oliver Hall I checked my wristwatch again. Ten minutes had passed since I parked outside the café, my eyes locked on the entrance. Every second felt like an hour. Jessica should have been out by now.I didn’t follow her lightly; I don’t make impulsive decisions. But something in my gut told me to. There was no question in my mind—if she was in trouble or being inconvenienced in any way, I needed to know. And I needed to be there.I stepped out of the car, straightening my jacket, my posture perfect, composed. The evening air brushed against my face, sharp and clean, cutting through the restlessness inside me. I moved with purpose toward the entrance, each step measured.She appeared just as I reached the doors, stepping out with the kind of casual grace that made everything else fade from my vision. My eyes locked on her immediately.Her brows furrowed slightly at the sight of me. “Huh… Why are you here?”“I’m here for coffee,” I said, calm, smooth, letting my gaze linger

Chapter 83 Oliver's apartment Jessica Hemsworth ‘Lynn Lancaster and Richmond Lee's. A smile crept up my face as I gently rubbed my palm over the invitation card Ms. Lynn had sent to me. Her wedding is in three days. My attention was drawn by the thick footsteps descending the staircase, and I quickly put the card away as Oliver walked in. “Hey! You are here…” I blinked as my eyes roamed his body for a second. He was fully dressed. “Are you going out?” “Hmm. We are going out.” “We?” “Ms. Lynn's wedding is in three days. We need to go shopping today.” “Shopping?” Right… I didn't think about that. I stood and grabbed the card. “Sure. I will go get ready.” “Hmm. Join me in the car when you're done.” As he walked towards the exit door, I headed to my room. Back in the living room, I stared down at my clothes one more time, letting out a sigh before stepping out of the house. After searching my closet for what seemed like forever, I managed to pick up a pair of beige je

Chapter 85Paragon Couture; RestroomJessica Hemsworth ‘Hey! Viktor signed the divorce. Let's meet’.I blinked, eyes glued to Mrs Holt's text on my phone.My inside bubbled with excitement, fingers tightened on the phone, and a smile creeping up my face.“Yes! It's finally over! This shit is over.” I giggled lightly to myself, kicking the air.Talking to that witch was a good idea after all. She wasn't entirely useless.‘Alright. Send me the address. I'll meet you there’.I stepped out of the restroom with a smile lingering on my face, and as I approached my office, I saw Mr. Hall stepping out.He paused, his brows knitted together once he noticed me.“What took you so long?”“Nothing. I was…”“Never mind. Come with me. We are going for a meeting.”My eyes widened. What meeting?But still, I followed him silently without asking questions.“Did something good happen? You look excited.” He asked as we walked side by side toward the meeting room.“Huh?” I looked at him. For a moment, I

Chapter 87Oliver Hall ‘Hey! Where are you? Why are you not here yet?’My eyes glued to my phone, staring at my text to Jess that remained unanswered. I had called her several times in the middle of my meeting earlier, but she didn't pick up.At first, I thought she left her phone in the office and stepped out, only to find out she stepped out for lunch and hadn't returned yet.It's 5 P.M already.“Ugh! This is driving me crazy.”For the umpteenth time, I dialled her number again, pressing my phone to my ear, but after a long silence, the call dropped. She was unreachable again. She must be in trouble.And without waiting for another second to pass, I grabbed my car keys and dashed out of my office. I met Justin, the HR as I walked briskly to the elevator.“I was coming to see you, Mr. Hall…” he said, walking beside me to the elevator.“I've put out a notice for the role of secretary, and about five people have applied already, Mr. Hall.”I paused and turned to him briefly. “I hav

Chapter 89Jessica Hemsworth “Oliver… Please… Fight for your life.” I whimpered running after the stretcher as the nurses took Oliver to the operating room for surgery. He had passed out.“Ms, we'll take it from here. You can't come in.” One of the nurses stood in my way, holding me gently as I made to go in with them.I shook my head, tears streaming down my cheeks. “Let me stay by his side, please… I need to stay by his side.”Though I knew it wasn't possible, but something told me that being by his side would help him overcome this.“I'm sorry. We can't allow you in.”As she turned to leave, I held her hand and looked into her eyes pleadingly.“Please save Oliver. He can't die no matter what, please.”She flashed me a faint smile and nodded. “We'll do our best.”And with that, she walked in, and my heart sank as the door shut behind her.I stood rooted to the spot, as if my feet had suddenly grown branches, eyes locked on the door.I heard whimpers behind me, and I turned to see
