Nibel lowered his gaze. He was probably filled with disappointment toward the Yards.Sylvester spoke up before even waiting for him to reply, "When it comes to business, there are only benefits. Are you telling me you’re not using us, Mr. Nibel?”Nibel went up to him when he said that. "You’re right, President Yard. Since this is the case, let's part with no hard feelings.”Sylvester gave me a meaningful look before he left and walked out of the conference room.What did he mean by that look…I watched Sylvester's back as he left, only looking away once he was further gone. Somehow, something felt off.Then, my phone rang.It was a text message from Sylvester asking me to meet him when I was free and that he had something very important to tell me.What else was there between him and me?I could not think of this too much now. I put away my phone and refocused my gaze on Nibel."Why don’t you just stick with us, Mr. Nibel? Isn’t it cold up there at the top alone?" Theo reache

After we were done handling matters with the company, Theo and I went to Petra and Grayson's place in preparation to bring the children back.The two elder adults looked very happy, likely because I had not visited with Theo for a long time."Since you two are here, have dinner before you go. It’s not every day that you two visit.” Petra grabbed my hand with a look of expectation. I looked into her eyes and could not bring myself to refuse her. I turned to look at Theo. "Why don’t we eat before we go?""Sure,” Theo blurted out.I did not expect him to agree so cheerfully. Theo's impression of Petra and Grayson had not been very good ever since Petra treated me poorly after wrongly recognizing me as her daughter.Theo had been holding onto that despite that a long time has passed and so did not come around often.Hearing him agree, Petra immediately asked the maid to prepare dinner before dragging us to the living room to have a chat.It had been a long time since they sat down

"A masquerade?"I told Marius and Shannon about this idea of mine. Seeing how they reacted in unison, I knew they had not been expecting it.Marius and Shannon looked at each other. "Grant Corporation will be the organizer. Is President Grant willing to allow you this?”"Theo said it's okay."That was what he said last night.Their expressions were one of surprise. Shannon then snickered. "I didn't expect Theo to let you be so calamitous.""What are you saying? I just think our banquets before were too formal. Besides, it’s only for the staff this time but they can bring their relatives and friends and the like so it’s okay. What do you guys think?”Marius nodded when he heard what I said. "If President Grant has agreed, then who are we to say anything?”"Then, as my good friends, shouldn’t you guys support me?" I winked at them."How do we do that?”I smiled. "Help me with action, for example.""We’ll support you in spirit. There are still plenty of things to do at Green Or

The ball kicked off with everyone's anticipation. I looked at the two individuals standing at the door, masks donned but looking helpless, and could not help but smile. I walked up to them and could not hold myself back from saying, "I say, you two ought to look happier. Everyone who’s arrived does.”Even with her mask on, I could clearly see Shannon roll her eyes at me. Giving a stamp to the person who had just arrived, she replied, "If I knew I’d be the usher here, I wouldn’t have agreed to you.”“Exactly. Also, this stamp thing makes it look like we’re a nightclub,” Marius complained.I could not help but pout at what they said. "You can go in and play in a while when there are no more people. Hang in there!"With that, I went inside.At a glance, I saw Theo in the corner. He looked out of place in his formal clothes but seemed to fit in more with the mask on his face.I wondered if he could recognize me.Thinking this, I grabbed a glass of red wine and walked toward him.I

Someone else also showed up today, someone I did not expect.Cindy had brought Arthur over and I was stunned.“Hello, I’m Arthur Doyle. We meet again.”It was such a surprise.I greeted back in a friendly manner. “Hello.”“His shoot ended early today so I thought of bringing him over to relax. Help me look after him.” Cindy entrusted Arthur to me.Since we had met only once, I was not too familiar with him. I felt a little awkward after Cindy left and could only engage in stunted conversation with him. Fortunately, Shannon appeared.“Wanda, so there you are. Who is this?”I was still thinking about how to introduce Arthur when he introduced himself, "Hello, I’m Arthur.”Shannon tilted her head and looked at him carefully, "You look a lot like the new guy who became popular recently. Arthur Doyle, was it?”"It's me."Her eyes widened at Arthur’s admission. "For real? Wanda, since when did you know celebrities?”"It's not me. Cindy’s the one who brought him here. He’s an ar

The masquerade ball ended amidst laughter and joy.Shannon and Arthur seemed to have got along very well. They even privately made an appointment to meet each other for the second time. However, since Arthur was an idol, if Shannon were really interested in him, she would inevitably face a lot of problems in the future. Still, this was for a later time. I myself drank a lot tonight. Although I was a little tipsy, I was still sober, just a little red in the face.Theo glanced at me while driving and shook his head slightly. "You didn’t actually have to drink so sincerely.""I was happy. It's okay since it’s once in a while." I smiled in response to his words.Looking out the window, at the flashing lights, I could not help but let my thoughts float.I thought again of what Sylvester told me at the dance.The truth about my mother…"What are you thinking about?" Theo's words broke my thoughts.I wanted to discuss this with Theo and since he had asked, I told him about it honest

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Zeke."I took out some free time and went looking for Gareth.The housekeeper looked at me carefully and recognized me before slowly responding, "I'm sorry. Miss Lane but Mr. Zeke is on a business trip and won’t be around for a few days. I’m afraid you will have to come back in two days.""How unfortunate, then I'll come back another day." I thanked the housekeeper and turned to leave. I bumped into a woman who had flowers in her hand when I reached an intersection. "I'm sorry, are you all right?""It's okay."She had a nice voice and looked to be in her early forties.Gareth’s household was the only one here. Could she have also come to look for him?"Did you also come for Mr. Zeke? He went on a business trip,” I informed her.The woman looked up at me and froze.I could clearly see the shock in her eyes and she proceeded to stare at me for a long time.Her increasingly warm gaze made me a little uncomfortable and I stepped back. "I'm sorry. I’ll

Shannon’s interest was suddenly piqued when she heard this. She pulled out the chair opposite me and sat down. “How did you find out about it then?”"When I was chatting with Theo in the office, he actually said, intentionally or not, that he trusted Keith. It was probably a reminder to me but I thought it was a little strange. I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I only probably truly found out the day Keith looked for me alone.”"He came to you alone? Was he not afraid of being discovered?"I looked at Shannon and smiled slightly. "I bumped into him when I went to the best that time. He told me a lot of things at the time but he said something at the end before he left.”"What was it?"His words were still so exceptionally clear in my mind."He said he wouldn't participate. I couldn’t figure out what he meant at first but then I considered how calm Theo had been and all the clues that had been scattered about and guessed their plan."Shannon looked like she understood
