Lahat ng Kabanata ng Regrets Come Too Late: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

Pamela suddenly felt a desperate need for a clear answer. "John.""Speak," John said, looking at her."After you and Sierra finalize the divorce, will you marry me?" Pamela asked.Her heart was pounding, not from excitement, but from the unease and fear of the answer she didn't want to get.John's usually composed features grew heavier. He clearly hadn't expected that question."I know it's a little abrupt," Pamela said before he could respond, not wanting the silence to turn awkward, "but I just wanted to know in advance, so I can be mentally prepared.""I gave you my answer at the very beginning," John said directly. "The result won't change because of anything that happens in between."Pamela forced a smile. "I see."John simply hummed with a nod."Will you marry someone else, then?" Pamela tested carefully.John's unreadable gaze fell on her. He knew exactly what she was thinking and why she was asking, but that didn't mean he would give her the answer she wanted.Pame

Nicholas didn't press Sierra to choose his company. He was only offering her an extra option. "Then I'll wait for you to treat me to dinner when you get your first paycheck. Once you start work, you won't be as free as you are now. If you ever have to work late, text me and I'll pick up Tommy."Sierra agreed. There was no need for formality between them. They had been close friends since childhood, always helping each other out when either was in a rut. Refusing him would only push them further apart.After they chatted for a while, Sierra informed the manager at Origin Games that she would take the job. He replied quickly and sent her a checklist of what she needed to bring for the onboarding.Sierra answered. With a stable job finally in place, she felt a little of the pressure lifted.Thinking about her mother's upcoming medical expenses, she went back home, logged into her side account, and uploaded several newly completed pieces so potential clients could see her style whe

Sierra froze and followed the manager's line of sight.John was sitting on the sofa by the window, holding a finance magazine in his hand lazily. As if sensing her gaze, he lifted his eyes and looked over."Mr. Henderson, do you still have Sierra's contract?" the manager asked.John's eyes looked at him.The manager became nervous by the way John was looking at him. He didn't press further and turned back to Sierra instead. "Why do you need the contract?"Sierra kept her tone vague in front of the manager. "I want to take another look at the details. If it hasn't been stamped yet, I was hoping to add one condition."Before she finished, someone walked in.The person held a contract in hand, walked up to John, and handed it over. "Mr. Henderson, the contract has already been stamped.""Give it to Sierra," John said, his eyes landing on her and his voice unhurried. "It's hers."The assistant from the legal team passed it to her as instructed. The moment the contract landed in he

Sierra had considered that this might all be a setup, but John hadn't approached her once the entire day. He hadn't even spared her a second look, as if she were just another ordinary employee at Origin Games.It made no sense for him to leave her alone at work only to stir things up for her at a company dinner."I'll come get you after I pick up Tommy," Nicholas said, uneasy about her going in alone. "Until then, find an excuse to stall and stay outside."Sierra was about to answer when the manager walked over. "Sierra, why are you still out here?""My friend called," Sierra said quickly, lifting her phone as a shield. "It's something urgent.""No matter how urgent it is, it can't be more important than the job you just landed," the manager replied, smiling lightly but sounding entirely serious. "The senior members from the company will arrive any minute now. As a newcomer, you can't keep them waiting, right?"Sierra's hand tightened around her phone.Back when she had been w

Everyone froze.They looked at one another, completely at a loss, with no idea how they had offended him."It seems you're not very happy about me taking over at Origin Games," John said lazily, smoothing his cuffs before he stood up. "In that case, I won't stay.""It's a misunderstanding! It's a total misunderstanding! How can we possibly be unhappy about you managing Origin Games?!""Having you here is our honor. Other companies would kill for this opportunity!""If we messed up with anything, please just tell us."Panic spread around the room.Everyone knew what John was capable of. He had surpassed his elder brother Solomon to become heir to the Henderson family. In the business world, he was seen as a trendsetter, the man who had turned more than one floundering company around.Now that they had finally managed to bring him in, there was no way they would let him walk out."Is there some misunderstanding?" Morgan asked. He was dressed in a white suit, looking refined and
