David slowly regained consciousness, and his eyes fluttered open, only to be met with a shocking sight. He found himself lying naked, and next to him, peacefully sleeping, was Flora. Instantly, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he hastily removed the quilt covering his body. His heart raced as he realized he was only wearing his pants.His mind filled with a whirlwind of confusion and questions, wide-eyed and startled, David tapped Flora gently, hoping to wake her up without revealing his surprise. Flora rubbed her eyes, her expression feigning innocence and surprise as she looked at David, ready to greet him. However, he couldn't shake off the urgency within him."What happened between us?" David asked, his voice trembling with anxiety. He needed answers, he needed to understand how they had ended up in this intimate situation.Flora looked at him, her eyes widening in surprise. "What are you talking about, David? Don't you remember how you took my virginity last night?"Her words h

"If you're not bothered by David betraying our marriage vows, then you should start preparing for a divorce. Don't try to ruin my reputation in front of his father because I've heard he's taking your side," Flora said anxiously, her eyebrows furrowed with fear. She knew David's father didn't like her, so if Rowan tried to smear her name in his presence, he would believe it."Well, if you live honestly and without any secrets, what are you afraid of? Even if I tarnish your reputation, it won't matter if you're innocent," Rowan retorted sarcastically."Of course, I'm not afraid!" Flora's voice unintentionally trembled, revealing her nervousness."But regardless, you should be prepared to defend yourself against the accusation of killing my baby. The uncle David appointed and both of you should be ready because David's father will make you pay for it," Rowan threatened."Really?" Flora replied, her voice filled with unease."Even if I did it, do you really think David would leave me for

Rowan and Rolland accompanied Mr. Johnson into his office with hopes of retrieving their query letter. Deep down, Rowan suspected that he would issue them a one-week suspension and deduct it from her salary. Ever since that night, he had become a thorn in her and Rolland's sides. However, before he could process their request, he received a summons from the Vice President, causing them to return to their office. Rowan couldn't contain her excitement, even though she knew it was only for that day since it was close to her closing time. Tomorrow, she would have to face the query and the ensuing punishment.Coming back home now held a different feeling for Rowan, as David had been faithfully returning every day. She couldn't help but notice the stark contrast in her emotions - happiness and joy now enveloped her, unlike the past.After dinner, the two of them settled in the living room and watched TV, just like they had done a few days ago. Despite the humor of the movie they were watchi

As Rowan and Rolland reached the door, they were taken aback by the absence of anyone around. They exchanged puzzled looks, wondering if they had misheard something. Since there was no one in sight, they shrugged it off as a possible misunderstanding and moved on. A little while after Rolland left, David decided to send the maid to assist Rowan in changing her dressing. Rowan had already put aside her worries and engaged in a conversation with David, wearing a calm expression. She deliberately avoided mentioning the company issue until David left, even though he was expecting her to bring it up. Since that day, Rowan took two more days off to rest before returning to work. During her break, Rolland occasionally texted her about the shady things Johnson had been up to in the company, keeping her informed. Although Rowan hadn't figured out a solid solution, she didn't feel as anxious about the situation as she had initially. No matter how unsettling the news was, it didn't bother her

Chapter 37 Business as usualAfter expressing my opinion, I hope to be evaluated solely based on my work performance, rather than being judged because of David's influence. I want my capabilities to be the basis for every task I undertake, rather than being associated with David."After speaking, the president requested a private conversation with Rowan and asked her to return for a discussion. They both left the president's office.Once the door closed, Rolland turned to Rowan, leaning on her elbow."Hey, why didn't you tell me about your conversation with David? Are you trying to keep people worried?""I didn't mention it to him," Rowan replied, still feeling a bit confused. "I don't understand how it turned into this all of a sudden."Holland noticed that Rowan's bewildered expression seemed genuine, and she was also puzzled."Then how did he find out?"They both remained silent for a moment, and then Rolland clapped her hands."Forget it! Let's not dwell on it. Finding a solution
