Richard's POV"Yes, Mr. Richard. I apologize once again." Jeremy apologized before passing out of my sight.I ignored the apology and kept glaring at Jeremy until he disappeared.After Jeremy's departure, I breathed a sigh of relief. "For God's sake, it's even morning, and you're already causing trouble? Why don't you ever grow up, Krystal?" I asked, venting my frustration at the sleeping Krystal.Krystal didn't answer. She slept soundly with her hair scattered around her head. I rubbed my face roughly, feeling unhappy.The situation this morning was enough to send me into a state of confusion. Did Shawn miss out? Why hadn't he said anything about Krystal coming to my office? I left Krystal in the room and checked my cell phone. There were no message notifications from Shawn. My forehead scrunched up in surprise. What on earth was going on here?I need to call Shawn to find out the situation, but there's no way I can do that in this room.Who knows, Krystal is pretending to be asleep

Nikkie's POV "Aaaa!" I yelled in surprise. I quickly turned my body around and crouched down, covering as much as my brain could devise a solution. Plus, while facing the open closet I was looking for a towel inside.Stupid, how could Richard come in when I wasn't wearing anything?! Silly, why wasn't I aware and even forgot to bring a bathrobe before showering?"Nikkie... Are you okay?" Stupid Richard! Why is he still standing there?"Stupid pervert Richard! Get out!" I exclaimed as I grabbed a random piece of clothing to cover my front body. I used my other hand to grab another piece of clothing to throw at Richard. Richard looked like he woke up from a daydream, didn't try to dodge, and finally ran out. Thank goodness he didn't forget to close the door!I was out of breath, my face felt hot, and this was so embarrassing! I don't know how I will look at Richard after this. Aaargh! I want to sink to the floor and never see Richard again for the rest of my life!But that idea would n

Krystal's POV"Stop your foul talk and show me where that bitch is hiding!" I exclaimed angrily. My eyes were scanning around the room, looking for where Nikkie was.I locked the door and changed the password before entering the living room. "Nikkie! Where are you? Come out and meet me now!" I called out loudly.My ears hear the sound of the door handle opening. It was coming from Nikkie's room. I turned around and found that bitch Nikkie coming out of the room with confusion written all over her face.I stood at my waist, snorting sarcastically. My eyes scanned Nikkie from head to toe. My lips were pressed tightly together, trying to contain all the negative emotions I found hard to contain."You're finally out. Sharon! Sit there with Nikkie! And don't try to escape because I've locked the door and changed the password!" I ordered absolutely. Sharon and Nikkie looked at each other and then obeyed my orders. They sat side by side on the sofa with tense looks on their faces.I walked

Krystal's POV"So this is why you pay so much attention to Nikkie? Because the baby is yours and Nikkie's child? Since when did you develop feelings for Nikkie? You were even furious when I moved Nikkie out of our house. What did I do wrong? Is it because my body isn't perfect, because my eggs are badly damaged, that you've lost interest in me?" I talked nonstop.We were in one of the meeting rooms in the hotel restaurant. A private room that had a good view and guaranteed privacy.There was plenty of food on the table, but neither of us had the appetite to touch it.Richard had been silent all day. His eyes were only focused on the food on the table, not willing to look at me in the slightest. It felt even stranger, even though we were sitting across from each other like this."Answer me. Didn't you say yourself that you were ready to talk to me?" I asked.There was a long sigh from Richard before he changed his sitting position to a more upright one. Finally, for the first tim

Nikkie's POV"Stop it, Krystal!" I opened my eyes, recognizing the voice that had just managed to stop Krystal's madness. Yes, it was Richard's voice. How did he get in? Since when was he here? Suddenly, my field of vision was covered by Richard's broad shoulders. Sharon, who hugged me from the side, quickly pulled me away to the dining room."Richard? How did you get in?" Krystal exclaimed in astonishment. Of course, didn't she say she had changed the password? Krystal asked again with unconcealed astonishment. "How did you know about this place?" Richard stared at Krystal with a fierce gaze. His body position was in an alert pose. "That's not as important as how you ran away from our conversation. This is why I always avoid you when you ask me to talk. You always run away before we even get to the bottom of things!" Richard exclaimed in annoyance.This is the first time I've seen Richard upset with Krystal. Usually, no matter how angry, Richard would be patient. There would alw
