Bryce subtly glanced at Arthur. "He insisted on coming with me, saying he had to support his in-law's art exhibition. So, I waited for him to finish his tasks, and it took 30 minutes."Holly chuckled. Back then, Arthur would do everything to force her to leave. Nowadays, he couldn't help sticking close to her. She never expected the arrogant Arthur to have such a hidden side.It was a great contrast compared to his previous behavior, and Holly would've thought he was possessed if she didn't know better. She would never have been able to do that if she were in his shoes. It was too embarrassing.Arthur said with a chuckle, "Holls, Dad had high hopes for you since a long time ago. Back then, I'd always say everything about you other than your poor family background. Now that your family turns out to be so impressive, you're basically flawless."Hearing him refer to himself as "dad" and calling her Holls made Holly have goosebumps.She smiled and said, "Mr. Gabelman Senior, Bryce and

Yoel politely responded, "Thank you."Levi's appearance instantly dampened the lively mood. The crowd soon found their excuses and got up to leave.Soon, only Yoel, Holly, and the three Gabelmans were left in the open space. All five of them sipped on their coffee wordlessly, each with their own thoughts.Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded, "Why didn't you bring me along, Levi?"Holly's eyes twitched upon hearing that voice. She didn't have to look up to know that it was Samantha. She really was everywhere.Levi turned to look at her and asked, "Why are you here?"Ignoring everyone else, Samantha walked over to him and sat close beside him. She said sweetly, "You're my fiancé. You have to work on a daily basis, and it's finally the weekend. Wouldn't it be great for us to spend some time together now?"Levi scooted further away and distanced himself from her. "Did you track me down?"Samantha gave him a wink. "It's not nice to say that. I'm just caring for you."Levi eyed Bryce a

Someone knocked on the door as they were conversing. A young man in his late 20s walked in.He was dressed formally in a navy blue shirt, complete with a three-piece suit and a tie. He looked decent and carried himself dignifiedly.Christopher smiled kindly and told Holly, "This is my son, Gabriel. He's heard so much about you and insisted on following along when he heard that I was meeting you."Gabriel Fernandez carefully studied Holly before smiling at her. "I've been following you ever since you appeared in 'Treasure Talkers,' Ms. Sinclair. "Your live painting of 'The Crane' truly astonished the audiences. As expected, you're more stunning in real life, Ms. Sinclair."He had a polished way of speaking.Holly smiled slightly. "You're too kind, Mr. Gabriel. I'm just an ordinary person.""It's admirable how you're so modest despite your great reputation, Ms. Sinclair." Gabriel pulled a chair out and sat opposite her.The four of them ate and drank merrily. During the meal, Ga

Holly opened the message and saw that it was from Gabriel. It read, "I have a good impression of you, Ms. Sinclair. Would you like to go out for a movie during the weekend?"Holly replied without hesitation. "I'm sorry. I have a lover."She had wanted to say it back in the hotel. However, it was hard for her to bring it up when she wasn't close to him, and he was respectful of their boundaries as well.Bryce was happy with Holly's action. He took out the divorce certificate from his bag and placed it on the bedside table. "The documents are already prepared. We could remarry anytime we want."Holly eyed the documents wordlessly. She wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him. She then tipped her toes up and kissed him on the chin.Bryce pinched her chin and kissed her forcefully yet gently on the lips. His gentle fingers skillfully caressed her skin, leaving burning marks everywhere he touched. Holly felt her knees go weak.He carried her up and placed her gently

Holly raised her brows. "Really now?"Bryce replied without much expression, "I have face blindness. Other than you, everyone else looks the same to me."Holly burst out laughing.After Bryce was done stirring the coffee, he got up and walked to the landline. He then called Tobin and instructed, "Replace all our female secretaries with male secretaries."Tobin hesitated. "Our company has never hired male secretaries before. It's rare for men to work in this profession."Bryce said, "Replace them with older women, then."Tobin replied, "Oh. Alright, then."Holly opened up the thermos flask and handed him a cup. "There's no need for that. I'm just complimenting her on a whim."Bryce took the cup and poured some tea into it before pushing it back to her again. "No. I like the way you are now. Keep being jealous next time, and tell me whatever's bothering you. Just don't keep it in."Holly chuckled. Other men disliked jealous women, but not him. He was rather special.She gently
