After Mom scheduled the meeting with me for tomorrow, she left with Peter. We decided to have dinner out because Slater requested chicken and pasta. He loves pasta while I absolutely hate it.When we arrived at the restaurant, we ate quickly and went straight home afterward because I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching me. I didn’t bother mentioning it to Yuan; I knew exactly how he’d react especially now that we were back in New York. Maybe I was just paranoid.An hour later, we got home. I was still on the phone with Melody, who was already packing to return.“So, how was your flight? Any news about your company?” she asked again, making me roll my eyes into the air.“We landed safely, and the board meeting with the directors is already set for tomorrow. Do you know Eleanor?” I asked, motioning for Yuan and Slater to go inside the house first.“Eleanor? That sounds familiar. Wait…” she said, and I could hear her asking someone in the background. She came back a few

It was a week ago when that incident at Vertex happened, and until now, Yuan still has no idea. Only Melody knows, she’s basically been my walking diary since forever.Ever since that day, my paranoia hasn’t let up. As much as possible, I head straight home right after work, no matter how many times Yuan tries to drag me out for dinner. Even at work, I refuse to step outside the building unless it’s absolutely necessary. Anything else just feels like a waste of time.“You have a 3 PM meeting with Mr. Lim, Ms. Moretti,” my secretary said when I asked her what my last schedule for the day was. I simply nodded.I waited for her to leave before turning to Slater, who was quietly writing across from me.He insisted on coming with me when I left the house this morning. And when I asked him why, he just said he didn’t want me to feel scared, something I’m still trying to figure out.There’s really nothing wrong with bringing him here. He’s a responsible kid. He listens to everything I tell h

After we said our goodbyes, we went inside. I was shocked to see the living room packed. I mean, everyone. Grandpa Frank with Grandma Eve. Peter and Rei with their parents. Even Lando and Emerald, it made me raise an eyebrow.“Grandma!” Slater shouted as he ran toward Mom and the others.“Finally! I thought you weren’t coming back,” Mom said, and I couldn’t help but smile.I noticed Grandpa Frank staring at Slater as I approached, almost like he was examining him carefully. What’s going on? It’s not like this is the first time he’s seen my son. Why the reaction?“I never thought this boy would grow up to be so handsome. The last time I saw him, he was so small. Why do you rarely show us your son, Selina?”My jaw dropped as I turned to Grandpa Frank at his words. He wasn’t looking at me, his gaze stayed on Slater as my son approached him.“I missed you, Grandpa,” I heard Slater say.Grandpa Frank’s expression softened as he hugged my son. I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holdi

“Where are you two off to now? Last time you took him with you, I saw him leading some other woman to nowhere.”Tim and Yuan both just laughed. Did they think I was joking?“Eleanor was just too drunk that night, and we were only trying to help her. She’s just a friend, Love,” Yuan explained to me again.I knew he was telling the truth, he knows I can’t stand liars, but I couldn’t help feeling annoyed. I wasn’t sure why. Probably because of the bad encounter I had with that woman from the start.“Yeah, right,” I replied shortly.“Don’t worry. I’ll just discuss something with him and bring him back right away. This is really important, Selina,” Tim said, and I couldn’t help but laugh.I felt Yuan’s hand brushing my waist, so I glanced at him.“I’m just kidding. I’ll stay right here at the table,” I told him.He nodded and kissed me. “Don’t leave this spot. I’ll be right back,” he said seriously, a hint of worry in his voice.I knew he was still affected by everything that had happened

My smile widened as I looked at her. She was draped in jewelry, and her beauty was almost blinding.“Oh my God, I’m so sorry I didn’t recognize you. This is actually the first time I’ve seen you in person,” I said apologetically.She immediately shook her head and stepped a little closer to me.“Let’s just talk later,” she whispered before returning to her seat.I nodded and went back to mine as well. I caught the serious looks from the father and daughter, so I simply smiled at them. I then decided to approach Enrique, who stood up at the same time.“Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Lim. I’m glad you didn’t ditch me this time,” I greeted him jokingly.Our first scheduled meeting hadn’t pushed through because of an alleged emergency. I didn’t dwell on it, I’m not the type to chase people down anymore.“I’m very sorry about that, Miss Moretti. I’m glad I finally got to meet you. I’ve heard so many things about you, your mother used to talk about you all the time,” he said cheerfully, chuc
