Sean's POVI was just about to calm Emi down, but the middle-aged woman had already started talking again. She looked at me sternly as if I shouldn't interrupt her."You realize you haven't left your room for two days. I'm grateful you're still receiving sunlight from the window, but you still need to get out of your room and tidy up for your good. I am sad to see you like this, sir."I didn't respond to Emi's thoughtful words, smiling faintly because I couldn't deny the middle-aged woman's words. I didn't have the spirit to do anything other than think about the company, especially Arabella, who hadn't given any news until now."Look into this glass, sir," Emi spoke again, directing my gaze at the mirror that was displayed and could still be seen from the corner of my bed. "You look very messy right now. From your greasy hair to the clothes you haven't cleaned since a few days ago, do you feel comfortable moving around in such a state? Even if you don't have body odor, you still have

Emma's POVI saw that Sean and the woman hadn't moved after a while. There were a lot of people there so I decided to step out of the cafe and keep a closer eye on them, hiding among the crowd. The next thing I knew, the woman took Sean's arm, and they started walking away."Where are they going?" I muttered to myself, shifting my position slowly so as not to be spotted and trying not to look suspicious. I was still watching them chatting even as they walked, especially the woman who was smiling brightly. "That woman seems to be close to Sean."I became more curious about their relationship to be that close and the incident that made them meet in broad daylight like this. Other than me, I realised several people were talking about Sean and that woman. Elle. I'm sure that's the woman's name."Again, Miss Elle is together with Mr. Sean. Their relationship seems to be good." I heard one of the people there speak.The person she was with nodded. "They look too perfect. Do they want to mak

Sean's POVI checked my appearance in the mirror, ensuring nothing was missing from what I normally wore to work. My phone had already given me the alarm that my plane was leaving in a few hours, so I looked back in the mirror and smiled, encouraging myself that I was leaving.I felt insecure but repeated Emi's complimentary words as I imagined Arabella waiting for me. I'll be fine when I meet Dallas later. After all, I had to face him to meet my beloved, now or in a few years.Of course, I couldn't imagine being able to wait that long. Just a few days would make me miserable. I opened the door to my room, my breathing slow. "Wait for me, Bella.""Mr. Sean is leaving already?" Emi asked, approaching me with hurried steps. She smiled encouragingly when she was in front of me. "You look handsome, sir. Miss Bella will surely be happy to see you visiting her this neatly."I smiled slightly, correcting the middle-aged woman's words. "I'm just about to meet Dallas, but thank you, Emi.""Che

Sean's POV"Hunting... you say?" Dallas seemed to think about my words for a few moments.I hadn't done any hunting in a long time other than when we were younger. I'm sure Dallas was the same since we'd both developed businesses after college, him continuing his parents' business while I created a new one. There were many formal events to attend to introduce our respective companies to the world in order to gain more exposure from all directions.Hunting is a pretty fancy hobby for businessmen, more so than golf, but it's a fun sport to do once in a while. I seem to recall this city offering such an activity somewhere. I'll have to find out more or have Sarah do it to shorten the time.I looked at Dallas, who still seemed to be thinking, taunting him a little to keep him from changing his mind. "Are you scared? I won't force you to do this bet, Dallas."Dallas looked offended. "I'm not scared. I should be the one telling you that. Don't let you suddenly run away because you're scared

Dallas PovI entered the forest in a different direction from Sean, not wanting our hunting grounds to get mixed up with each other. I wanted to defeat the man immediately and hunt multiple animals at once without any interference. Besides, if we came simultaneously, the animals might have already run away when they realized we were making noise with each other.I rode far enough until I came to a sturdy-looking tree and a more open sky than the side of the forest I passed through. "Over there...." I muttered softly, keeping an eye on one of the birds that seemed perched, unaware of my presence, and cleaning the inside of its wings.I shot the bird after a perfect aim, then approached it. It turned out to be quite a bit smaller than I had imagined. I held the bird's carcass in disappointment. "This size is not enough." I gritted my teeth.There should be plenty of deer or rabbits roaming around the forest, but I hadn't seen those two common animals since earlier. There were many birds
