Back in my room, I began redrawing the blueprint based on Antoninus's design. Even though I was adding interior details and furniture within his framework, I was still filled with joy. But when I took the sketch and headed back to the "construction site," I realized there was someone else here?A tall, slender man was inspecting the wooden stakes that had been hammered into the ground. Was it Tiberius? He hadn't left the estate!I hesitated, unsure whether I should turn back. However, Tiberius suddenly spoke, "Vibia always wanted a cabin. Small, yet warm and cozy, away from the hustle and bustle. Just the two of us living inside."Was he talking to me? I glanced around, confirming that there was no one else here. I reluctantly approached, trying to engage in conversation. "And what happened later?""I let her down." Tiberius lightly tapped the wooden stake, his expression a mix of joy and sorrow. "I never fulfilled her wish, even until her death."

I turned around, shocked and touched. Antoninus was standing behind me. "This was constructed according to your drawings. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs adjustment. It's better to make changes now before it's fully built and becomes more troublesome."So, he took my drawings to build this?My nose suddenly tingled, and my eyes welled up with tears again. "Thank you..."I gently touched the dream-like little wooden house, my heart filled with a mix of emotions. "Can I take it back with me?"Antoninus didn't understand. "What do you mean?"I said, "Can I bring it to my bedroom?"I thought it would be lovely to wake up and see it every day!Antoninus hesitated, then inquired with the workers and designers nearby about the materials used and if they were safe. After some more conversation I didn't pay attention to, my focus remained on this beautiful little house.I saw a few figurine models beside the wooden ho

Roman provocatively glanced at Antoninus. "Cheer for me! I'll prove that his appearance on the court was a huge mistake.""Don't do this!" I reminded him, "You should remember that the match between you two is just an exhibition, right?"The purpose of an exhibition match is to liven up the atmosphere; how could they be competing seriously?But Roman gently caressed my face. He said, "The next match is a friendly match. However, unfortunately, there's no friendship between me and our Mr. President."Saying this, he picked up his racket and walked onto the court. Antoninus was also ready for the challenge.The two of them played back and forth on the court, dazzling the spectators and prompting continuous cheers from the stands. However, I watched with great unease.Their stances were nothing like an exhibition; it was more like a battle. Roman was serving directly at Antoninus's body each time!He treated the tennis ball as if it were

Antoninus was injured, but he still decided to continue working as usual. For the country, it was a good thing, but for me, it was different. Because he got hurt for my sake, I had to act as his temporary servant for these two days.During meals, his hand wasn't able to hold a fork properly, so I had to cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and feed him. While he worked, I had to sit beside him and assist him in his tasks. The President's work was dull, tedious, and incredibly boring."Next page," Antoninus said.I moved the mouse and told him, "Could you please add 'please'? I'm a person, not an emotionless tool. Thank you!"So, three minutes later, he spoke again, "Continue scrolling down, please."I rolled my eyes and threatened, "Antoninus, one day I'll make everything I see public. Then you can be charged with leaking state secrets!"Antoninus glanced at me and calmly said, "These aren't classified documents, and besides, you wouldn't un

I hadn't anticipated that not only Roman, but also Mr. Marcus would be here. I felt danger creeping in and turned to escape, but Roman caught my wrist. "Lily, don't worry. You won't be harmed, I promise."I struggled to break free, glaring at him in anger. I felt like a foolish little fish, lured into danger's edge by the anglerfish's light.Roman led me forcibly in front of his father.Marcus gestured for Roman to step back. "Please, have a seat, Miss Lily.""No need, thank you."Stubbornly, I remained standing, refusing to budge.He still wore a smile. "This is our second meeting, isn't it?""Mr. Marcus, if you have something to say, just say it!"His eyelids twitched slightly. "Brave girl, I admire your courage. Let's have a straightforward conversation.""I have numerous businesses here—gold, jewelry, and some other things. But our President can't stand that I monopolize this land. So, he wants to use the natio
