Martin closed the door behind him as he walked out from the winery, heading to the patio, where he saw Stephanie laughing together with Belle. It was a fine afternoon in Sonoma, the weather was great and his woman looked happier than she used to. A small smile appeared from his face, ‘Jacob was right, spend time with Stephanie for a while and shee how she was glowing and happier than before.’ Martin walked toward them as he carried a bottle of wine and two glasses for him and Stephanie.
Stephanie immediately smiled when she saw Martin come in. “Baby…” Her soft voice called him and he sat next to her, then landed a kiss on her lips.
“I am an underage teenager, hello!” Belle said it jokingly, noticing them to end their kiss.
In New York City“Mr Miller….” James walked to Luke direction after closed the door behind himLuke switched his focus from his document on his table to him“Update?” Luke asked shortly“Ms Young went to the office with Nathan. She arrived after lunch time.”“Her expression?” Luke asked more details“Darker than before. She looked pissed!” James mentioned as he handed Luke his iPadLuke saw Stephanie pictures there and he was wondering what had happened to her. ‘Was it about the previous thing with him?’&l
Soon after Stephanie closed the door, she went straight to her bag, taking her phone, dialing Nathan’s number.“Nathan, where are you?”“I see. Let’s go to the club then. The same place!”“No need! I will drive there,” She ended the call and quickly went to the closet to change her clothesAs she prepared herself to go out, she noticed that Martin didn’t come after her. ‘He might be comforting that bitch!’ She told herself. In less than 30 minutes, she is ready. She was about to take her purse when Martin walked into the bedroom.“You’re going out?” His voice was deepShe glanced at him
Stephanie walked out from the elevator, heading to her office but Kate stopped her.“Miss Young, the real estate agent, contacted me and wondered when you have time to have him in here?”“Oh, about that. Please cancel it, I will think again to get a new house.” She remembered about Martin who was angry enough to find about it“And, you saw them before, the one with me is Martin Clark, he is my boyfriend, and the other one is his PA, Jacob. It is their first time to come here but next time, when you see them, you should directly inform me, no matter if I am in the middle of an important meeting. Understand?” She added“Yes Ms Young.”“Tell Nathan to go to
The doctor walked out from the emergency room after checking on Elena. Martin quickly got up from the chair, walked toward him.“How’s her condition?” Martin looked worried“She is stable now. Our examination shows she took strong medicine that made her condition getting worse. I already took a sample from her blood and will come back with the lab result tomorrow.”“Mr Clark, no need to worry for now. I gave her medicine, she will be awake in a couple hours.” The doctor added“Thank you!” Martin said it shortlyJacob’s phone rings and after speaking with someone from the other side, he looks at Martin with a worried face.
In the morning, Stephanie noticed that Martin didn’t come home. She went to the office with a sour face. It was around 11 am, Kate spoke in the intercom, noticing her that Luke was waiting for her in the lounge. She asked Kate to let Luke get into her office. Luke walked in with a big smile but he noticed that Stephanie was in a bad mood.“I know how to make you smile again!” He walked toward her“Don’t you think we have to take a distance?” Stephanie got up from her chair, walked toward him“Was Martin who asked you to do that?”“Luke, let’s make this less complicated! Martin knew everything now and he suspected you for going after me just to piss him off. You better not play with him.”
Martin went back to hospital with chaotic thoughts. He doesn’t want to leave Stephanie behind but he remembers that Elena is his priority. However, learning that Stephanie had sex with Luke twice, it bothered him. He knew Stephanie sometimes went out and looked for a man outside for fun, but with Luke, he felt that she had a connection with him, it was beyond sex. ‘What should I do?’ He asked himselfMartin spent the whole night at the hospital and went to the office directly from there. Around noon, Jacob knocked on his door and went in.“We have an emergency meeting with AD Enterprise at 1.30 pm. But before that Mr Joey Callahan asked to have lunch with you now.”“We can go!” Martin answered shortlyEarlier he wanted to t
“I told you to end this, your obsession with me, because you have no idea who you are dealing with, especially who I am.”“Enlighten me!” Luke told her seriouslyStephanie sighed and Luke patiently waited for her to talk. She saw how persistent Luke is, she, then, gave up and decided to share the story with him.“I come from a mixed race family and my dad is one of the influential businessmen in the East Asia market. Short story, I, as the heir of family business, have to get involved from a young age and after school my dad handled the South Korea market for me, while he focused on Japanese and his right-hand handle China and Hong Kong. I worked mostly with Yoan, the guy that I am about to meet in Hong Kong. He was my right-hand person. In Korea, I had a boyfriend, Le
A Black Mercedes EQS stopped right next to the Jet. A tall Korean man got up from the driver seat. He smiled brightly at Stephanie and soon, Stephanie released her hand from Luke’s, and walked toward Yoan.“I miss you!” She said to Yoan“Finally I can see you again! I miss you more than anything….”“I thought you'd come alone, but who is him?” Yoan asked“Oh, he is Lucas Miller, my business partner. It just happens that we have similar travel schedules.”“And…..” Yoan was about to talk about Martin but Stephanie understood immediately“We can talk about Martin later….&rdq
