Kyle tried his best not to get distracted as he maneuvered the stirring wheel. However, he lost control of himself when his mobile phone began ringing. That's when he also realized that a huge truck was coming on his way. SCREECH--! He was lucky that he stepped on the brake just in time before he collided with a container van which he almost bumped into when his eyes darted on his phone screen. Seeing that he received a call from an unfamiliar number just a couple of minutes after he left the building, he panicked for a moment. However, since he was determined to meet Anton Stanford even if it drove Ashley mad, he collected himself quickly and answered his ringing mobile phone. "Kyle Ashton, speaking?" He uttered in a cold voice. While waiting for the person on the other end to speak, bids of sweat trickled down his forehead followed by his thudding chest. No matter how much he tried to sound cool, his hands betrayed him as they trembled in nervousness. "This is Anton Stanford s

The warm sun rays penetrated through the curtain gaps causing Ashley to stir up from her slumber. A slight grunt escaped her throat before she unconsciously covered her face, blocking the warm blinding light while blinking several times to clear her blurry sight. Seconds later, she finally had a clearer view. She yawned and squirmed under the sheets. After sleeping for a couple of hours, she felt lighter and much better. The pain all over her body had subsided compared to the previous day. Her bones and joints seemed fine now and to assure herself that she recuperated enough, she began stretching. Since her specialty was based on keyboards, her concern was first focused on her hands, more specifically on her fingers therefore she tried to wriggle them and she's relieved to know that all of them have gone back to their original flexibility. The swelling of the skin has dissipated. She then stretched out her limbs, followed by her arms only to find out that there was still a tube c

Brenda stared at her phone in a daze for a long time. She was utterly dumbfounded."What did I hear just now?" She grumbled unconsciously. "Did he say... Athena's best friend?" She was trying to digest Anton's angry words in the back of her head and moments later, her eyes widened and her lips trembled upon realizing something."Was that woman... The one that..." Her words were left undone as she ran out of the building in haste to search for her.Earlier, before coming over, the head butler had specifically told her. "There's someone at Young Master's apartment unit. You must go there and deal with the situation as you see fit." The instruction clearly played in her mind as she frantically eyed the parking lot. The entire Stanford household had known Brenda's fondness for Pamela and how protective she was when it came to Anton that's why she assumed that her help was urgently needed to deal with some sort of thing like that. It never occurred to her that what she did was the tota

The female mechanical voice on the other end felt like salt in his wounds, leaving him speechless as he fought the urge to curse under the presence of the young lawyer for he didn't want to show how chaotic he was deep inside.'She erased her tracks quickly,' he thought sullenly as he mulled over everything repeatedly.Starting from their brief encounters in the past and so on. Everything that had happened between them recently has brought them to this very moment.It took him quite a while before he finally understood her motive for agreeing to his demand. After all, she had told him about this fact before she signed her name into the paper but he never believed her then. Not until now that she took this situation as an opportunity to sever ties with him completely.'How ridiculous!' He sneered but as soon as his mind flashed of the times their being together, his heart began to race for some unknown reason. There's no way that she would help him for no reason unless she...Anton's l

'Of all the places in NY City, why must it be here? And why now?' Ashley was taken aback by the sudden appearance of both him and Megan. It sent a chill down her spine to see them in the same place as her.With one tilt of her head, her shrewd adoptive mother would see him immediately, and knowing her character, Ashley felt goosebumps all over her body. She hadn't known anyone so blatant in revealing her inner thoughts other than her and she feared that she might spout nonsense when facing him.However, she didn't know why Anton was there. She couldn't help but think that he must be trying to find her but as soon as she recalled what happened earlier today, she shook her head.'Nah! That's ridiculous! He wouldn't dare go back in his words, wouldn't he?'She had worked under him for six months and she knew that he had a terrible temper towards her and the least he would do was to find her when he had already set her free. There's no way that the guy came all the way here just to find
