I wiped the sweat from my forehead, busy transferring plants into the beautiful pots I had purchased. Goodness! I thought this would be easy, but it turns out to be quite a hassle since I have to secure them properly. If these plants die, it’ll be a total waste. Even though I have plenty of money, I spent a lot on these plants, including the soil and the gardening tools. I made sure to buy low-maintenance ones that thrive under direct sunlight. It’s a lot of work but incredibly satisfying, especially once I place them all out on my terrace.Before I knew it, afternoon had already arrived, yet my to-do list remained long. I never imagined that moving in would consume this much time. It honestly feels more challenging than hiking. Letting out a heavy sigh, I set my work aside for the moment. I’ll just continue tomorrow. After all, I don’t have a job yet, and no one from our company’s HR has called me since I submitted my resume. I should talk to my brother about it. Maybe they’re hesita

I suddenly woke up to the repeated sound of the doorbell. I sluggishly got out of bed, my eyes still half-closed. I quickly grew irritated by the continuous ringing of the doorbell from whoever was outside my door right now. They better prepare themselves, disturbing my deep sleep this early in the morning! Annoyed, I got out of bed and stomped my way toward the door. I opened it and instantly froze when I saw Griffin's smiling face. He froze too upon seeing me, his eyes dropping down to scan my body. I looked down as well and immediately covered myself when I realized I was only wearing panties and a thin crop top shirt. Well, it's true he has seen my naked body before, but still, we are starting over, and this is incredibly embarrassing since I just woke up. I'm absolutely sure I look a mess with bedhead.“He-Hey! Good morning!” I greeted him. “Come on in!” I said, opening the door wider. He walked inside and headed straight for the kitchen. “I'm sorry for how I look. I just woke up

I spent the entire day fixing up my terrace, and Griffin messaged me saying he was going to accompany his half-brother to buy some of his things, especially the business suits he'll be wearing when he starts working at the office. I completely understood, and it’s also a good chance for them to get to know each other better as brothers. I mean, they only met just now because their mother had forbidden them from knowing him before. I don’t know what exactly happened in their family, and I don't want to be intrusive in his life. But now that they are grown-ups, they have every right to make decisions for themselves. Their mother should just accept it, especially now that she and Octavius are separated.My gosh! Whenever I think about him, I feel so guilty, and now Griffin and I are in a relationship. I didn’t sleep with him when he was still married. I knew he was already divorced back then, and I was just bored. He was there, and I was horny as hell! I like older men, and Griffin is sl

I was the last one to be interviewed by the managing director, and I am more nervous now because this is the final assessment. Among those who went ahead of me, some came out crying, while others were happy because they got hired, though they were only a few. Of all the times to be picked, why did I have to be last? It only added to my anxiety, and I hope the managing director isn't bad-tempered. To think he’s Griffin's half-brother, I am hoping he will be fair with me, especially since there is a heavy name attached to mine. That is, if he even knows who I really am. I intertwined my fingers and was slightly startled when my name was finally called.I stood up and walked toward his office. I knocked on the door, opened it, and stepped inside. I froze when I saw a large man sitting in his office chair, his head bowed as he reviewed my resume. I couldn't help but feel a strange sensation, and I stared at him closely because he looked so familiar. He was wearing one of the suits deliver
