"I don't care. You have to figure out a way to make him go, or else you're covering my food expenses this month." Alicia raised her eyebrows."Hey, aren't you being unreasonable? Fine, I'll figure it out, but you're writing my reflection statement." Calla handed Alicia the paper and pen.Grinning, Alicia replied, "Even though writing a reflection statement for the husband is not my forte, I can definitely accomplish the task."Calla shook her head at Alicia's words. At least she didn't have to worry about the reflection statement anymore. But how could she ensure that Mercer would go on the trip?…Thursday night, Calla tossed and turned in bed.She had hoped to see Mercer over the past two days to ask him if he would join them on the trip. But he had been elusive, leaving her frustrated.She and Alicia had 200 dollars riding on this. What should she do?Despite her reluctance, Calla eventually picked up her phone and sent a text to Mercer. "Are you very busy lately?"She coul

On Friday afternoon, Atlas employees were granted an early leave. Four tour buses were parked in front of Atlas Tower, with employees boarding one after another.Sitting on the bus, Calla kept glancing outside. Most of the company's executives had already arrived, but Mercer was still nowhere to be seen."Is he coming or not?" Alicia couldn't contain her impatience."I don't know," Calla replied with a frown.Covering her face, Alicia lamented. "Oh, no. We're leaving in five minutes. My money!""Fine, I'll treat you to lunch every day for the rest of the month, okay?" Calla thought that since she couldn't finish all the food at the Riviera by herself, Mercer wouldn't mind her bringing some back."Mr. Garland! Mr. Garland is here!" a woman suddenly exclaimed.Calla looked up and saw a tall figure in a black suit walking toward them from a distance, followed by Simon and Ally, who were carrying luggage bags."He really came! We won!" Alicia grabbed Calla's arm excitedly.At this

"She's so disgusting," Alicia whispered in Calla's ear.Calla glanced at the two figures ahead and said, "Hang in there a little longer. We're almost there."Soon, the two-hour bus journey came to an end as the buses pulled into Luna Resort.Luna Resort was nestled among mountains and rivers, boasting not only beautiful scenery but also comprehensive facilities. As soon as they got off the bus, the refreshing air greeted them.Each group was assigned a tour guide. Then, Calla and the others received their hotel room keys.Mercer, Simon, and Ally naturally couldn't stay in regular hotel rooms. The resort's staff led them to the VIP wing as soon as they got off the bus.Meanwhile, Peggy stubbornly tagged along, dragging her suitcase behind her. It was obvious that she was planning to stay in the VIP wing as well."What a joke! She's bringing shame to all women!" Alicia scoffed."Aren't you tired from the ride? Let's go to our room." Calla maintained her composure despite feeling

Alicia had already mingled with some male colleagues.Peggy was even more extravagantly dressed today. She wore a backless gold dress that nearly exposed her backside. Despite its gaudiness, the men couldn't help but sneak glances.Meanwhile, Calla quietly sat in a corner, enjoying the food rather than seeking attention.As the dinner party was nearing its end, the evening emcee, Toby Davies, announced the start of the game session."Ladies and gentlemen, our first game tonight is a balloon transport competition. In these two boxes are cards with the names of everyone present."I will randomly select five men and five women to come up on stage," Toby explained while standing in front of two transparent boxes filled with cards.The balloon transport game required one man and one woman to form a team. They couldn't use their hands and couldn't let the balloon touch the ground. Instead, they had to use their bodies to transport the balloon from the starting point to the finish line.

Soon, the game began.At first, Calla was in front, with Mercer behind her. The balloon was wedged between her bottom and his abdomen. This immediately drew laughter from the crowd.However, this method proved too slow, so they changed tactics. They faced each other, and the balloon was now squeezed between their bellies as they held hands to synchronize their movements.Calla's hands were enveloped by his warm, large hands. Their faces were so close that they nearly touched.Suddenly, she felt a flutter in her chest, and her face flushed. She didn't dare look up at his eyes. His warm breath brushed against her cheek, making her feel a little ticklish.However, she had no time to dwell on these feelings. Even the slightest lapse in attention would cause the balloon between their bodies to drop.Encouraging cheers filled the air around her. Coming in last meant facing a penalty, so she was determined not to lose.Their coordination was quite good. Though not first, they maintaine

Toby counted down, "Three, two..."Mercer quickly removed his suit jacket and draped it over Calla's head. After pulling her into his embrace, he held her tightly against his chest.His actions were so swift and smooth.Calla opened her eyes to find darkness enveloping her, but she was tightly held in his embrace. Her forehead rested against his chin, and she caught a whiff of his distinct scent.The air was filled with cheers and screams. Calla didn't need to think twice to know how many women were now envious of her.But unlike before, she now wasn't afraid of their envy and jealousy. Instead, she basked in the admiration shining in their eyes.He stood tall like a sturdy mountain, providing her with a sense of security and affection she had never felt before.Surprisingly, she found herself not hating him as much as she used to. In fact, she even found herself eager to catch a whiff of his scent."Pour it!" Toby's command rang out, and a bucket of ice-cold water was tipped o

"Sure!" Alicia gladly agreed.On the way, she whispered, "Looks like the scrooge is treating you quite well. His expression changed dramatically when you fell just now.""He's just worried about my belly. Do you think he really cares about me?" Calla replied, though she couldn't deny the warmth she felt inside."Come on. Which of the women here wouldn't want that thing in your belly? Don't act innocent. By the way, the way the scrooge held you was so gallant—like a knight protecting a princess." Alicia clasped her hands together, and her eyes betrayed obvious envy.Calla pondered whether her encounter with Mercer was a blessing or a curse. Having him by her side gave her a sense of security, just like earlier when she felt like a fully protected princess.Throughout the years, she had always taken on the role of protector for her mother and sister. Even during her relationship with Tim, she was the one taking care of him. She had never experienced the feeling of being protected an

Upon hearing Ally's words, Calla stared at her with a puzzled expression.This was Mercer's room? Did Mercer really ask Ally to bring her here? Wasn't Ally afraid and wanting her company?Seeing Calla's puzzled look, Ally chuckled softly. "Sorry, Mrs. Garland, I had to lie in front of the other employees. It was Mr. Garland who asked me to bring you here."The title "Mrs. Garland" made Calla realize that Ally had known about her relationship with Mercer all along.It seemed Alicia's guess was right—Mercer was behind all of this."There's a hot spring outside. You can try it out. If you need anything, just call for room service. I'll leave now," Ally politely said before heading out."Wait..." Calla, who had just recovered from her shock, immediately stopped Ally."Do you need anything else?" Ally stopped in her tracks.Noticing Ally's politeness, Calla suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It struck her how being the CEO's wife changed things—but why did she feel so uneasy?"Um.
