"I hope I can go back there someday. I will definitely miss Hawaii.”The sweet and unforgettable honeymoon is over. Marked by the landing of the jet that brought the newlywed’s home. Exactly at eight in the evening.Knowing for sure that she had returned to her home, Elice's lips moved reflexively. She expressed her heart's content and Garrett smiled."Luckily, I brought home a hula dancer."Elice glanced over and saw the amused look in her eyes. It seemed that the jokes about the impromptu hula dancer continue for the next few days. Elice obviously had to be prepared to hold back her laughter at every opportunity Garrett would tease her.Leaving the airport, Garrett, who kept Elice at his side, found Amber waiting for them. She took their luggage and greeted them warmly."Welcome, sir and madam."Previously, Elice had been addressed as Miss. To be called Madam now made her feel a little awkward. Especially since the address was given by someone older than her."Please."The couple fo

"Saturday night, at the Azure Hotel. It's the annual charity event that I used to attend with Grandpa when he was alive. For the past few years, I have gone alone. But starting this year, it feels like you two can accompany me."Dinner went on as usual, with delicious food filling the table and light conversation in between. And as always, Daphne dominated the conversation."We've always been regular donors every year. And I hope it will always be a tradition that you will continue," Daphne added. She turned to Elice. "I'm sure you'll enjoy this event. There are many paintings and other artworks that will catch your attention."Truth be told, Elice had no interest in paintings or artwork of that sort. But it seemed that the lives of the upper class always revolved around such things. Now that she had become part of that upper class, whether she liked it or not, Elice would have to learn to adapt. She would try. Maybe she would learn to like it. Elice nodded.

Stanley James Mendoza and Megan Alexander are a married couple who hosted the charity event. Held at one of the most prestigious hotels in Ashford City, the Azure Hotel had the honor of hosting the annual event that the noble family has always held. Featuring various stunning artworks, the funds raised would be allocated to various humanitarian activities in the country.It was the first time that Garrett and Elice attended the event. They felt a little awkward, but Daphne's presence made everything go smoother. The guests, who held respect and awe for the elderly woman, politely welcomed their presence, including Norah, who seemed nervous.A table had been set for the Morales family. Prominently placed. So, when Stanley opened the event, he easily singled out Garrett's family for recognition. He introduced them to all the guests as one of the charity's regular donors.Garrett and Elice naturally received more attention. In addition to the prestigious family nam

On the first Monday of the new month, Elice officially changed positions. No longer working behind colorful cubicles. Instead, she worked behind the door of her own room. Elice's feet kicked rhythmically, leading her to see the state of the room that was now her workplace. Ensuring her safety from the whispers of her colleagues. That was the good side Elice could get. Avoiding the gossip she could hear.In the room there was a desk with a chair. Different in size and design from the one she used before. There was a special cabinet for files, and there was also a set of couches. At least these were the furnishings that caught Elice's immediate attention when she first entered the room.Elice's room door was knocked. Her gaze immediately shifted there. The door opened and Hollis entered, both hands rubbing together."Mr. Hollis."Elice had not expected her mother's boss and good friend to come to her. It made Elice uncomfortable. She immediately said the middle-aged man's name with a st

A single knock brought Garrett's wandering eyes back to focus. He looked to the door of his office. Just then the door swung open and someone entered.It was Elice, carrying a tray. She smiled and walked over to Garrett. It was a cup of tea, which she placed on Garrett's desk."Thank you," Garrett returned Elice's smile. He glanced at the wall clock. It was already ten in the evening. It made sense for Elice to come to his office."Do you have a lot of work to do?" Elice asked, placing the tray on Garrett's empty desk and sitting down in front of her husband. She looked at a file that was open in front of Garrett, then back at him. "It seems you've been pushing yourself too hard lately, Garrett."Garrett sighed as he looked at the open file. Feeling a little guilty, he realized that he hadn't really touched it since. Instead, his mind had been occupied with daydreams."Is that so?" he asked."So, I see," Elice replied, her eyes showing concern. "You seem to be overworking yourself, an
