Dominic left his office, engrossed in reading comments. He wanted to log out, but his eyes kept drifting back to the screen, drawn to other comments that sparked his curiosity. He entered Rosie's office, his gaze fixed on his phone as he continued scrolling through comments that brought an excited smile to his face.Without looking up, he didn't notice the stairs ahead and stumbled, his phone slipping from his hand. His eyes widened in shock, but he quickly grabbed the phone before it hit the ground. "Oh, my!" He breathed heavily, his eyes still wide with surprise.Rosie's voice broke the moment. "Are you okay?" Dominic shook his head, closing his eyes briefly before turning to her with a smile. "I'm fine." Rosie's face lit up with a beam of concern, followed by amusement. "You seem lost in thought. What are you reading that's got you so carried away?"Dominic's response was immediate. "Haven't you checked the internet?"Rosie stared at Dominic, shocked, as she reached for her pho

"Oh, my…" Arabella breathed, her hands flying to her mouth to keep her voice low. Her eyebrows shot up in awe as she eavesdropped on Phoebe's conversation with an unknown person. She pulled her ear away from the door and shook her head, wondering, "How can she do this?"She took a step back, wrapping her arms around her waist and biting the left side of her lower lip. "What should I do?" She thought, her mind boiling with rage. She stormed towards the door, ready to barge in and confront Phoebe, but cautioned herself and stepped back. "I should inform Archie," she decided, quickly turning to head down the stairs.As she hurried down, her slippery sandals betrayed her, and her legs slipped, causing her left ankle to sprain. "Ouch!" She moaned, bending slightly to touch her ankle before ignoring the pain and rushing to the living room. She snatched her phone from the sofa and dialed Archie's number, but he didn't pick up. She tried again and again, her pleas growing more urgent. "Pick

Archie arrived in front of Maximo company and slowed down to drive into the premises at a normal speed. He parked in the wrong lane and rushed into the company. "Which floor is the chairman's office?" He asked the first female staff member he encountered, his tone urgent.The staff member, recognising him, pointed behind her. "Last floor." He nodded curtly and sprinted toward the elevator. He pushed a guy out of the way and entered the elevator, pressing the button for the top floor. However, the elevator didn't respond. "What!" He yelled, aggressively pressing the button repeatedly.The guy he'd pushed aside approached him calmly. "It's not working. I'm an engineer here to repair it." He ground his teeth, frustration building. "Gosh," he muttered, taking a deep breath. He turned to the engineer politely. "Please, is there another way to go up? A stairway or anything?" The engineer nodded. "There's a stairway, but why not wait? The repair will take less than twenty minutes." He ge

"Archie, what have you done for yourself…" Archie questioned himself, his mind replaying the past. "I shouldn't have done that…" He whispered, regret washing over him as he thought about the decisions that had led him to this point. Back then, everything seemed fine, but now he realised those choices had come back to haunt him, robbing him of his peace and happiness. The thought of making another wrong move, another silly decision, filled him with dread. He wouldn't be happy again if he did.He leaned his head back against the car seat, and tears streamed down his face, tracing the contours of his cheeks and chin before dripping onto his chest. He stretched his arms above his head, his body shaking with sobs. "Had I known, I wouldn't have done that…" He blamed himself, tears flowing uncontrollably. "I shouldn't have believed she'd help me. I should have reported it to the police," he sniffed, his voice cracking.He licked his lips, his tongue darting out briefly. "Archie, you fucked

Archie exhaled heavily, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. "Dominic…" He called out, pausing for a moment to give Dominic space to respond. Dominic turned his face away, his tone curt. "What?" "Does Rosie know about your feelings for her?" Archie interrogated. Dominic's expression changed instantly, and he looked down, unable to respond. His reaction spoke volumes, and Archie already had a sense of what was happening, but he wanted Dominic to confirm. Archie's voice was low and gentle. "Dominic, is my question hard for you?" He asked, his lips curving into a soft smile. "Have you confessed to her? Does she know how you feel about her?" Dominic shook his head, his voice barely above a whisper. "No." "Why?" Dominic lifted his head, his eyes welling up with tears. He struggled to maintain his composure, not wanting to appear weak in front of Archie. "I'm afraid she'll reject me," he confessed. "Rosie's just healing. I know everything about her, and I'm afraid she w
