"That hurts!" Willow covered her eyes slightly when she clutched her forehead. She peeked at Theodore through her fingers, noticing how his smile had widened.It was a rare sight to see him smiling. As far as Willow could recall, Theodore's demeanor was always icy and unreadable, except when he smiled in such a way that terrified one to the core.Who knew Theodore would be one to tease others?"What? Do you want to pay Linda? I can help you get in touch with her," Theodore said."I'm not the one who instructed her to come here and cook," Willow huffed. "Do you have any idea how awkward it was to have someone come over here without my permission with all sorts of groceries in tow?""I'll inform you beforehand next time.""Next time? Please spare Linda and me, Theodore."Linda, a Master's degree holder in Financial Economics, was reduced to a mere cook. She might not say it out loud, but she must internally hate Willow to the core because of this.Theodore didn't respond. He held

Hailey's hands balled into fists. Once her plan was completed and she married Theodore, the first thing she would do was fire all of his female secretaries. That way, Hailey could reduce any possible risks in the future."Since Mr. Bassett isn't here, Ms. Godfrey, should we head home?" Hailey's driver asked."Head home?" Hailey took a moment to think. She then said, "Head to the bakery we went to last time and then to Bassett Residence."Hailey couldn't do anything when it came to Theodore. But since Madam Sara was fond of her, she had to do all she could to make a good impression. This was her last chance.They soon arrived at Bassett Residence. Unfortunately, Madam Sara was taking an afternoon nap."Come and have some tea, Hailey. It's a wonderful green tea," Ellie said. She had poured out a cup of tea for Hailey. "You came at a bad time. Madam Sara usually takes a nap around this hour right until 2:00 pm."Hailey's annoyance was clearly shown on her face now after failing to

After lunch, Willow poured a cup of tea for Theodore. "This is jasmine tea.""Thank you." Theodore took the cup and looked around Willow's house.It had two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. The house was built specifically for first-time homebuyers. Most people couldn't afford a decent, economically friendly house in Emperia even if they worked all their lives here. It was the city center after all."This house is built in a pretty good location.""Really? I've never done my research on it. But it is pretty convenient around here," Willow answered as she cleared the table. "It's all thanks to my friend for finding this place for me.""That lawyer friend of yours?""Yep."Theodore's brows furrowed lightly as he sunk into thought."Is there anything you need help with here in the house?" he asked."No." Willow shook her head. "I've already cleared everything away.""Good. Come with me to the project site later in the afternoon."Willow was left speechless. She told Th

What was she thinking?Meanwhile, Theodore was on the way back to Bassett Residence.The butler had called him earlier to tell him that Sara felt unwell all of sudden. He was requesting Theodore go back home as soon as possible.If it weren't for Sara's health, Theodore wouldn't have returned to the country to take over Bassett Corporation after his father's death."You're back, Mr. Theodore," the butler greeted."Where's Grandma? Why didn't you send her to the hospital?"The butler said in a hesitant manner, "Madam Sara said it wasn't a big deal, so there was no need to go to the hospital.""I'll give Terence a call." Theodore then prepared to call his friend over.Before he could make said call, Ellie came out from Sara's room. "You don't need to call Dr. Roth, Theodore. Grandma wants you to come inside right away."With furrowed brows, Theodore walked in."Grandma."Sara was sitting in her armchair. Her expression was gloomy yet not sickly at all."You're back," she sa

"Has the company received Bassett Corporation's investment funds yet? Good. Remember to maintain strict control during the procurement process," said the person on the other end of the line. "Alright, I'll be there in a while," Willow said.She set her phone down on a rack in the washroom and started putting on nude lipstick. With her good complexion, the lipstick made her appear elegant and composed.Bassett Corporation's investment funds were flooding in as the project progressed. Willow had been busy with the procurement process in the past few days. Now that it was over, all she needed to do was to survey the project site now and then."We're here.""Thank you, sir." Willow stepped out of the cab.She gazed at the dingy town before her. All she could see was how lively and thriving it would be in the future.This was Oldtown, a site in Emperia South, where her company was teaming up with Bassett Corporation. Their plan was to establish a vintage town featuring elements of l

Sonia clasped her arms together and said matter-of-factly, "Strand Real Estate's CEO, of course. Mr. Strand may have appointed you as project manager, but he didn't exclude anyone else from being part of the team. I'm just trying to help.""This is your definition of help?" Willow glanced at the house. The entrance was strewn with things. Someone had clearly tried knocking down the wooden front door. It was now hanging off its hinges.Sonia didn't care at all. "Did you lose touch with reality, Willow? We've already paid the old lady, but she refuses to move out. It's clear she's trying to scam more money out of us. Therefore, we can only resort to these tactics. Do you want to be responsible for delaying the project's progress?"Sonia then instructed, "Tear the place down.""Let's see you try!" Willow snapped."You don't need to go all out, Willow. Aren't you happy with me being the bad guy right now?""Sonia Sutton, as this project's manager, I hereby declare that you have been

Willow waited outside the hospital's entrance with her phone in hand.The August morning was somewhat cold, especially with the rainfall earlier. Willow was only wearing a thin knit blouse. She couldn't withstand the cold after some time and turned to go back to the hospital ward."Willow."Just then, a male voice rang out from behind her.Willow instinctively turned around. Before she could further react, she was pulled into someone's arms.Willow could hear the pounding heartbeat underneath the man's thick coat. It was as if the person had run the way over."I thought something happened to you."The voice that rumbled from above Willow's head made her stop struggling.It was impossible to fake worry over someone.Willow was so taken aback that she forgot to push him away. She was held by him out in public while passersby watched. It took a while before she returned to her senses."Let me go first."Only then did Theodore release Willow.The wind stirred her hair up, revea

Willow hadn't been cared for by someone in a long time. It was a strange warmth indeed.Later that afternoon, Hailey brought some foreign snacks to the Bassett Residence. All of them were Sara's favorites.Sara beamed at her, saying, "Stay for dinner tonight, Hailey. I need to thank you properly for bringing me so many treats.""No, thank you, Grandma. I still have errands to run later.""What sort of important errands could you possibly have? I'll ask Theodore to come and join us for dinner later.""I really can't, Grandma." Hailey looked troubled. "Grandma, it's best I don't show up too much around Theo. He's about to get married, after all. I still know my ethics."Sara's brows knit together."Anyway, I'll come see you again when I'm free. Bye now." Hailey then got up to leave.Sara exchanged some courteous words with her but didn't stop her from leaving.Ellie sighed after Hailey left. "Hailey knows what her limits are, Mom. She won't be coming to visit often now that Theo
