Darwin continued to massage his throbbing forehead. In front of the man, as usual, were Kennedy and Randy accompanying him. The three of them had just finished having dinner together and were now continuing their conversation.
Earlier, before leaving work, Darwin had suddenly contacted his two cousins. After a heated argument between him and Veronica earlier in the afternoon, Darwin felt the need for someone to share his concerns with and to talk about what he was feeling at the moment.
"So, what were both of us called here for, anyway? We've been sitting here for over an hour, but you haven't said anything," Randy, who was growing impatient, finally spoke up. As usual, he was the one who often complained or talked a lot.
"Yeah, Win," Kennedy added. The man had been wondering since earlier why his cousin had invited them to meet. "Actually, what do you want to talk about?"
Darwin let out a long sigh.
For the first time in their marriage history, Veronica and Darwin enjoyed breakfast at the same table with a sense of calm. Veronica herself could see how her husband was devouring the food she had cooked so eagerly.Perhaps Darwin was starting to embrace his role. The man hardly talked or complained as usual. Instead, he was focused on finishing the chicken porridge in his bowl."Unusually voracious, the food suits Mr. Darwin's taste, huh?"Renata, who was pouring water by the side, chimed in. She was pleased to disrupt her employer, who was acting oddly this morning."Tsk, so many questions," he replied grumpily.But instead of being afraid or offended, Renata laughed. She knew very well Darwin's behavior was often like this."Oh, come on, just admit it, Sir. Besides, you're usually quite hearty when eating something not cooked by Veronica, right? You have
Darwin immediately approached after seeing Veronica suddenly stumble and fall into Sean, then faint. Taking charge of his wife, he took the initiative to lift Veronica's body and quickly carried her to the car parked right in front of the building lobby.With the driver, Darwin decided to hurry and take his wife to the nearest hospital. Instead of taking her home, which might lead to complications, he chose to have Veronica's condition checked by a specialist. He was afraid that something dangerous or serious might have happened to her.Upon arriving at the hospital, with the assistance of medical staff, Veronica was immediately taken to the emergency department. While the beautiful woman was being examined by the specialist, Darwin himself appeared to wait calmly right outside the room.Darwin sat in the waiting room for about 30 minutes. Before long, one of the female doctors who was likely attending to Veronica inside
Two days exactly, Veronica underwent intensive treatment and complete rest at the hospital. During that time, Darwin, who was so faithful, accompanied her and waited until Veronica's condition gradually improved.In order to fully immerse himself in the role, Darwin even took permission to not go to work. All emergency tasks and deadlines that couldn't be postponed, he chose to work on them while waiting for Veronica at the hospital."If I take a closer look, you seem to be really getting into the role, huh?" Veronica teased, while enjoying a piece of fruit she was having as a substitute for a snack.Darwin, who was sitting on the couch working on something at that moment, immediately turned to her. Smirking, he responded to the playful jab Veronica had just thrown at him."Isn't this what you wanted? I'm like this because I'm trying to keep my promise. Instead of something happening to my girlfriend
Right when dinnertime arrived, Darwin decided to head down to the first floor. Dragging his feet lazily, the man walked slowly towards the dining area.Just as he took his seat, Darwin could see how Veronica, who had arrived earlier, had a puzzled expression on her face. He wasn't sure what was actually happening, but he was convinced that his wife was clearly looking for something."What's wrong with you? I've been seeing you looking confused for a while now," Darwin asked as he scooped some rice onto his plate.While Veronica was busy inspecting each drawer partition in the kitchen set, she glanced over briefly. A few moments later, she chose to step forward and approach the dining table to speak with Darwin."Did you see my sushi box?"Darwin could see a clear sense of desperation on Veronica's face. Maybe she was tired or frustrated from searching for something that hadn't be
Darwin has just finished reading once again the document about the profile and some important information regarding the Leighton company. He did this on purpose so that he would be well-prepared and more knowledgeable for tomorrow's meeting with his business associate.Moving from the couch to the bed, Darwin intended to rest. However, just as he was about to lie down, he was suddenly startled by the presence of Veronica, who had just come out of the bathroom.Actually, it's not Veronica's presence that Darwin is concerned about. It's just that he was slightly taken aback when he saw the unusual appearance displayed by his wife as she walked towards the bed.Throughout their marriage, Darwin had never seen Veronica wear revealing clothing like she is now. Well, maybe not never. Perhaps he was the one who had been unaware or lazy to pay attention to his surroundings. Preferring to be preoccupied with himself or with Vivia
After attending a banquet event last night, today is the time for Darwin and several other business colleagues to visit two mining locations they will be working on in the near future.Picked up and departing around eight in the morning on a bus, they all embarked on a two-hour-long road journey. Around 10 o'clock, everyone arrived at the destination.Upon getting off the bus, everyone was asked to wait briefly at the first checkpoint. Before entering the site, all representatives from each company were provided with mining equipment first. From safety helmets, protective jackets, and even changing into suitable footwear for the mining site they were about to visit.Once properly equipped, everyone started touring the area. They were guided to see and directly inspect one of the largest tin mines in Malaysia.Initially, in today's agenda, only Darwin and Sean were going to represent Vortex and the In
Darwin had just finished getting dressed. Walking over to the bed, he found Veronica still fast asleep.Last night, after finishing up a report, Darwin had seen Veronica wake up briefly before falling back asleep. Now, feeling that his wife had rested enough, he took the initiative to wake her up.Besides, Veronica hadn't eaten or drunk anything since last night. He was worried she might be dehydrated or even weak due to not having any energy sources entering her body.For a moment, before actually waking her up, Darwin chose to observe for a bit. Gazing at Veronica's calm face as she slept. There was no longer that fearful expression he had seen before.If you really looked closely, Veronica did have a pretty face and a well-proportioned body like the dream women of men. But, for some reason, Darwin always brushed that aside. In his mind and heart, there was only frustration because Veronica's prese
It was already midnight, twelve o'clock. Darwin and Veronica were now both lying in bed, back to back.Knowing that his wife wasn't asleep yet, Darwin cleared his throat, summoning the courage from somewhere. This time, he deliberately tried to lighten the mood."You're not sleeping?" he asked, still lying back-to-back."Are you also wondering why I'm not sleeping?"Instead of an answer, Veronica asked back. Darwin even scratched his eyebrow out of confusion, trying to figure out how to express the rational reason why he hadn't fallen asleep yet."Just not sleepy.""Same here. Besides, I'm sure there's something you want to ask me, right?" Veronica guessed, as if she could read what Darwin was thinking."How did you know? Is your dad a psychic or something?""No, my dad's a businessman."Darwin stifled a laugh.
