The CEO chimed in, "Christina, you're a veteran of the company. You must be an example. You're not allowed back to work until you finish your 8000-word reflection and read it out loud at the all-employee meeting!"

If that's how they want it, then we'll go our separate ways—what's theirs is theirs, and what's mine is mine. But the moment I took that stance, the whole family suddenly started panicking…

Warning!!! Adult Romance, sesuaikan usia kalian! Sorot mata Sunshine sinis membalas tatapan mata Lexy. "Seharusnya kau bisa mengerti keputusanku, aku terlanjur muak dengan semua permainanmu." "Aku akan memperbaiki semua kesalahanku, sejak awal, aku telah mengatakannya, aku akan memperbaiki kesalahanku," ucap Lexy dengan nada lembut. Sunshine tertawa pelan. "Kau memperbaiki kesalahan dengan menciptakan kebohongan." "Aku sedang berusaha memperbaiki hubungan kita, aku jatuh cinta padamu, dan aku menginginkanmu sebagai pendamping hidupku."
