All Chapters of HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ANNADylan and Lea were making out right in front of me.It wasn't exactly a rare sight. It was normal. In fact, I was pretty sure they did this all the time. But seeing it with my own eyes felt like driving a blade straight through my heart.Just a few minutes ago, Dylan and I had been together. Laughing together. Enjoying each other's company as if there were no agreement between us.And now, I was watching my husband be intimate with another woman.My eyes burned as I watched how effortlessly Lea could stir Dylan's desire with her touch. She sat on his lap, their bodies pressed together. When their kiss finally broke, Dylan's gaze met mine.There was surprise in his eyes.But the very next second, Lea cupped his face and kissed him again.My lips trembled as I fought back tears.Even after realizing I was here, Dylan made no attempt to pull away from her. At the very least, he could have considered my feelings.Then again, why would Dylan ever think about my feelings?I wasn't impo

DYLAN“As for PayandC, I think we should officially announce the product at our internal meeting later,” I murmured, taking the file Erwin handed me before locking it inside the safe.“Won't it be a problem if Mrs. Anna knows about the project? What if she tells someone?” Erwin asked, studying me carefully.“For now, I don't mind if Anna knows. I'm sure she won't tell anyone.”“What makes you so sure?” he pressed.I held back a smile. “Anna isn't a socialite like Lea or my mother. She spends more time in the kitchen surrounded by spices than gossiping,” I replied, earning a narrowed look from Erwin.Silently, I added that even if she did tell someone, it would probably only be Vallen. And that man wouldn't care about my business anyway. Why would he concern himself with what was happening at my company? He had plenty of patients to worry about.“Once they finish the system, I'll talk to my father. Whether he approves or not, I'm moving forward with this project,” I said, resting my he

I'd sorted through the files on my desk and handed them to Erwin. "Based on what we discussed in today's meeting, there are a few areas we need to improve. As for the systems that are still experiencing bugs, I'll have the development team work on a solution."Erwin took the files from me.The phone on my desk vibrated again, the screen lighting up with another call from Lea. Erwin glanced at me before clearing his throat."You can answer it first, sir.""Forget it," I said, flipping the phone over with a loud thud.I turned my attention back to the folders spread across my desk."Also..." I paused for a moment and looked at Erwin. "I think we need to recruit more IT professionals to expand our capabilities. We need to innovate."Erwin remained silent, but my phone vibrated again, breaking our concentration. I let out a weary sigh before continuing."Our competitors have already started offering AI-powered fraud detection systems for digital banks. Meanwhile, we're still relying on se

“What did you just say? You're terminating all of our contracts?” I asked, panic creeping into my voice. My hand trembled slightly as I set the document back on the desk. “How can you just end our partnership like this?”Santoso crossed one leg over the other and stared up at the ceiling. “Of course I can.”“Yeah, I know, but why?”“First, I don't like doing business with people involved in scandals.” Santoso fixed me with a sharp look. “Second, your company charges premium prices, yet your service is subpar. There was a data breach in your application, and your response was far too slow.”“We've been working to fix the system, but...”“Third,” Santoso cut in, his expression hardening. “One of your competitors is offering a more advanced system at a lower price,” he said, forcing me to sink back against the sofa.Damn it. I couldn't argue with a single word.Seeing me fall silent, Santoso leaned forward, resting both hands on his thighs. “Dylan, ever since you took over your father's

DYLAN“I’m sorry. I think I was pretty unbearable last night.” I admitted it, and regretted, once again, the terrible habit I had whenever I got drunk. That was exactly why I preferred drinking alone instead of with someone else.I became clingy. Needy. I even did things I would never do when I was sober. And last night, it seemed Anna had become the victim of that habit.The soft hum of the engine filled the silence between us as I kept my eyes on the road. Several seconds passed without a response from Anna, making me wonder what was going through her mind. But when I glanced at her, her cheeks were flushed.She was looking at me.“No...” she said, dragging out the word awkwardly. She looked nervous, automatically scratching the side of her neck. “You just talked a lot last night. Don't worry about it.”Don't worry?I let out a faint scoff.How was I supposed to stop worrying when every time I looked at her neck, I saw that red mark?Even though my memory was hazy, I could still rem
