Well, i am back after who knows how long. Life is as hectic as ever but got time to chill and write...tho needed to catch up on the story myself hehe.
Levian was still cupping Sherry’s face when suddenly there was a knock on the door leading towards the kitchen. Levian’s eyebrows slightly creased, but immediately returned to normal.Raising his head, he looked towards the door, only to find Sarah standing with a smile on her face.“What is it?” His voice was cold as he retracted his hands that were cupping Sherrry’s face. Sarah had seen them getting intimate and although it pricked her heart, she pretended to have not seen anything at all.Although she was unhappy, because Levian was still there, she could only fake politeness and act blind.“Levian, why don’t you come and help me in the kitchen?” She smiled politely. “I miss watching you cook.” She added with a smile that was laced with nostalgia and sadness. The pleading look on her face was enough to melt even stone, Sherry thought.Levian did not speak a word.‘Will he deny my request?’ Although it had never happened before, Sarah panicked when she was faced with the expressio
“Mr.Smith?” “Hmm?” Levian hummed in response as they were walking upstairs from the kitchen. He glanced at Sherry as if waiting for her to go on.“Err…” Faced with his curious yet patient gaze, Sherry bit down on her lips- unable to form words to express her thought. She wanted to ask how things were progressing on his side. After all, she had done her part of the deal and it was only right for her to question him.“Don’t worry,” Levian said when he understood her thought. He brought his hand near to her face and carefully swiped away the strand of hair from her face- tucking it behind her ears. “I’ve got you, alright?” His low voice reverberated softly.“Uhm,” Sherry hummed in response by slightly nodding her head. Whatever this man said, it always calmed her and showed her hope. “I will leave it to you then.”“That’s a good girl,” Levian giggled, feeling pleased. “Now, go get rest,” Levian smiled gently as he bid goodnight to Sherry. “What about you?” Sherry asked seeing that he
The inky darkness outside indicated the profound stillness of the night. Most people had already retired to their beds, but one man remained alert and wide awake, with no luxury of even considering rest. Levian sat in his study, surrounded by a cluster of important documents. He was poring over every detail with utmost care and precision, his concentration unbroken. There were stacks of papers and files scattered across his table, each one containing crucial information. Every so often, Levian would pause from his reading and tap his computer screen. He would then scroll through a series of detailed maps and data, scrutinizing each one with a critical eye. He was deep in thought, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the information in front of him. The situation in Udyous was getting worse. The rebellion and terrorism had already spread across the entire country like wildfire. If this situation was to continue, by the time they had reached the six-month mark, it might be muc
"Good morning, Sherry," Mrs. Rena greeted Sherry as she walked downstairs carrying her bag and key."Good morning, Auntie," Sherry greeted her as she sat down for breakfast. Levian was not in his study when she checked while coming for breakfast. "Did he leave already?" she asked Mrs. Rena. Even though she did not say "again," Mrs. Rena understood."Don't be sad, he is a busy man," Mrs. Rena said consoling words as she put warm egg toast on her plate. She placed a bowl of soup and smiled. "Drink it while it's hot.""What's for breakfast?" a sweet voice pierced the silence of the dining room. Sarah came out of her room dressed in a luxurious silk dress, her hair tied neatly behind her in a bun."Good morning, young miss," Mrs. Rena greeted Sarah with a bow. Sarah returned her greeting with her signature gentle smile. "We have soup and warm toast," Sherry spoke as she lifted her head to look at Sarah. "Come and eat before it cools off.""...," Sarah cursed inwardly as soon as she sa
As she watched Sherry leave the house, Sarah felt her phone vibrate. It was a text from her husband’s subordinate- the one whom she had paid to keep an eye on her husband in secret. Uneasiness crept into her heart as she looked at the png file that had been emailed to her. ‘He didn’t…right?’ Sarah opened the file with a tap on the screen. Her expression immediately became ugly as she looked at the adulterous couple in the picture. But what made her really angry was the place they were currently in. The presidential suite and the luxurious hotel…it was in this city! “Miss, are you alright?” She heard Mrs. Rena’s voice. ‘Am I alright?’ Sarah gritted her teeth as she stood up from her chair aggressively. Without answering the housekeeper, she rushed to her room and locked the door behind her.Taking a deep breath, she dialed a number. After a few rings, the other side picked up the call. “W-why did you come here?” Sarah yelled into the phone. “Do you have a death wish?!” “So loud
[3 days ago, Vincent Troy’s Mansion] “W-What? How could this have happened?” Vincent’s mother fell down on her couch when she heard the news. If not for her husband catching her in time, she would have hit her head real bad. “Vincent..are you sure the company is really going bankrupt?” A stern-looking man dressed in a tuxedo and formal attire asked Vincent who looked like his entire world had just fallen. “Dad,” Vincent looked up at his father. “I did not think my luck was this bad,” he smashed his fist into the cushion next to him. “We have to do something.” Vincent grabbed his head in anger. The idea of being poor scared him to death. He had seen people who were dirt poor. They were nothing more than pigs to him. If he could not save the company, he will lose everything. The man looked at his son and sat down on the sofa. “The shareholders will start seeing the changes in the stock market soon this way,” he sighed. “If you can’t save the company before then, we are better of
“Miss, where are you going?” Mrs. Rena asked Sarah who hurried away without bothering to answer her. Mrs. Rena watched the white BMW drive out of the villa with a confused expression. “Miss Sarah is acting weird today…” Thirty minutes later, the same white BMW stopped in front of a luxurious seven-star hotel. Sarah jumped out of the car and was immediately greeted by one of the parking attendants. Without waiting for him to speak, Sarah threw the car keys at the man. “Park it for me.” “Yes, Miss.” The parking attendant nodded. He wanted to ask her if there were any requests she had but she was long gone. “Some people really be rushing through life,” the attendant thought to himself as he watched Sarah march straight into the hotel. Once inside the lobby, Sarah looked around at the extravagant interior of the hotel. There were not many people around but it made sense. She took out her phone and called a number. “I am in the lobby,” she said, “I am here to see him.” After placing
The group entered a presidential suite that was elegant yet sophisticated in design. The suite has also been redesigned to be fit for holding private lunches and meetings.Mr. Victor Khas looked around and nodded in approval of the choice of place. As much as he was a businessman, he was also an aesthete. Roy led them to a room where they were going to have their meeting and lunch. As his boss was the one who called the meeting, he immediately took up the role of the host. He gave a professional smile and looked at Mr. Victor. “Please,” he asked Mr. Victor to take a seat at the top of the table which was followed by Levian sitting on an adjacent chair.“I am glad you agreed to this meeting on such a short notice.”Mr. Victor gave a joyful laugh and said, “You are lucky, a day late and I would have left the city.” After all, he had already been in this city for around 3 days. That was long considering how busy his schedule was.Donald Kruk looked at the ‘secret’ exchange of pleasa
