~ELENA'S POV~"Mrs Fox, you have an emergency here at home,” Nora announced over the phone. “Please, ma'am, you need to get here as fast as you can”.My heart skipped a bit, then I asked, “What is the emergency, Nora?” There was silence over the phone. “Nora! Nora! Can you hear me? What is going on?”.After a few seconds, she finally broke the silence. “Mrs Fox, I'm sorry but this is not something to discuss over a phone call,” she said, “it is something urgent that needs your urgent attention immediately ”.I was beginning to feel tense, so I grabbed my bag and car keys from the office desk. I dashed out of the office and almost bashed Mia, my office assistant. She was approaching my office with some documents I had asked for earlier.“I'm sorry, Mrs Fox, I didn't see you coming,” Mia said as she quickly moved aside. “Are you heading out, ma'am? What about the documents you asked me to bring to your office?”“Put it on my desk, I will attend to it when I get back,” I instructed Mia w

~ELENA’S POV~“I'm Max,” he offered.I hesitated, then lifted my chin, “Elena”.“Elena,” he repeated, as if trying it out.“Well, Elena,” he said, stepping aside and motioning towards the hallway, “I'm guessing you are headed somewhere before your little accident”.“Oh yeah, just trying to get back to my table,” I answered with a faint smile.“Okay, well, say hello to fate for me,” he smirked.“Who is fate?” I inquired with narrowed brows.He leaned in tenuously, voice low and coltishly. “She just swept you off your feet so you could fall into my arms,” he replied while grinning.Eyes rolled, but couldn't fight the curves of my lips, “that was cheesy”.For the first time all night, I didn't feel invisible.“Maybe. But effective,” he said, raising a brow, “did you come here alone?”.“No, I came here with a friend of mine,” I answered, pointing my index finger backward. “She must be waiting for me as we speak, so I'd better get going before she comes to find me”.“Do you mind if I join

~ELENA’S POV~“Elena, you need to eat. How can you care for your mother if you don't eat?” Max said as he pushed a bowl of soup and noodles in my direction, “You've been at your mother's bedside for the past two days. You need some time off to rest and eat well. You are so thin.”I grimaced. I looked at my arms and couldn't deny Max's statement. I had lost weight in the past few days. I accepted the meal and dug in.Max insisted that I take a break from watching my mother, even just for a few hours. I haven't left my mother's bedside since she was transferred to Dickson Medical Center two days ago. Thus, we were at a Chinese restaurant that was about to close, but Max’s family was well known with a higher reputation in the city, and the owners were more than willing to accommodate him.I felt better while eating. The soup and noodles warmed my stomach. I have not had a good meal for the past few days, and it's showing on me in the way I was eating, and at the same time, giving sensati

~ELENA’S POV~Max, jokingly, has always challenged my cooking ability, so I promised one day I'd prove him wrong by cooking for him, but being caught up in this whole divorce process with Alex and my Mother's health condition, I have not had the time to fulfill my promise.So, today, I decided to make dinner for us. “Max, you remember how you told me you were unsure of my cooking skills one certain time?” I asked with a smile on my face“Yeah… but I was only joking when I said that,” he replied with a smile on his face, “wait– you don't believe I meant it”“Well, none of that matters now because I made a promise that I'd cook for you someday. Today is that day, and I'm going to fulfill my promise.” I dropped my glass of wine on the table and jumped to my feet. I turned to Max, who was still sitting on the couch, stunned.“Elena, you know you don't have to do that, I have enough maids and servants who take care of all that,” He mentioned“One extra maid, tonight won't do you any harm,

~MAX’S POV~“They have been able to beat us to most major deals because they think outside the box!” Charles continued, “What is going on in this company? I thought we hired the best and most qualified engineers? I hope you all are aware this is over a hundred-billion-dollar project washed down the drain?”“Ryder, Josh? Answer me!” Charles thunderedThe moment they noticed me walk in, silence encroached the room. There were bold tablets with the name of every board member inscribed on them. These tablets were set on the long center table right in front of every seat in the room except the ones meant for their assistants.Charles and Ryder sat on each ends of the table. Every other seat was reserved for the directors and their assistants. Charles was the Executive chairman while Ryder was the CEO. I located my place and settled in with Steve sitting by my side. “I thought this meeting was by nine-thirty, this is still eight-forty-five.”“Something important came up and needed urgent a
