“Charlie, I need to ask you to go.” Stephen said as he tried to keep calm and not panic. If Robert’s suspicions were true and Vanessa was indeed pregnant, then the child would not just be the most precious thing to Stephen and Vanessa, but to the entire Cho clan. It was the guarantee of the future, that the Cho clan would have a future.If Vanessa was not pregnant, then it would also be fine. They weren’t in a rush and in all honesty, Stephen didn’t want a child just yet. “Stephen, is something wrong? Why are you asking Charlie to leave?” Vanessa asked, worried about Stephen.“Fine, stay, Vanessa, can I have a word with you?” Stephen asked as he gestured for his fiance to go upstairs with him. At least there they would have more privacy.“Sorry about this Charlie, but your adopted son is having issues.” Vanessa rolled her eyes as she marched up the stairs.“It’ll be quick.” Stephen grumbled as he chased after Vanessa. When they were finally alone, Stephen locked the door behind hi

“What made you-” As Stephen spoke, Mr. Ong suddenly arrived in their office area.“Stephen Sy!” Mr. Ong shouted, furious possibly about the rumors that Stephen had gotten into trouble with the Chairman.“Good morning, Mr. Ong.” Stephen calmly greeted, not wanting to make things worse for him.His team eyed Stephen cautiously. They didn’t understand why he was so calm, it was as if there was no way he could be in the wrong, and yet it seemed like he had messed up in the eyes of Mr. Ong.All the members of Stephen’s team were quite aware of how bad Mr. Ong’s anger could get. He, after all, expected only the best from his people. “I sent you to complete a task and you failed at it so miserably that the Chairman had to scold you personally?!” Mr. Ong questioned, he was turning red in anger as he glared at Stephen.“Mr. Ong, who told you I failed in the task you asked me to do?” Stephen questioned his boss as he walked over to prepare coffee for Mr. Ong.He was still a guest in their area

Vanessa Ty smiled as she sat across Jacob Ling. “So how long have you and your boyfriend been together? The one that escorted you to my sister’s birthday party?” Jacob Ling behaved as if the rest of Vanessa’s team were not around.“Fiance.” She corrected Jacob Ling. “Fiance.” He corrected himself with a smooth smile, not showing that he was bothered by the fact that he had met Vanessa Ty too late.“We’ve been together for two years, but I’ve loved him for almost six years.” Vanessa plainly answered as their food was served. “What kind of man makes a woman wait four years to love her back?” Jacob Ling scoffed looking down at Stephen Sy.“A man that has eyes set on much greater prize, Mr. Ling.” Vanessa answered, addressing him as formally as possible.“Well, I believe that if a man truly loves a woman, he should not wait. Who knows, another man might also want that woman?” Jacob Ling said as a flirtatious smile crossed his lips. “And what if the woman doesn’t want him?” A familiar

“Why did you have to do that?” Stephen grumbled as he sat down across from his sister. He crossed his arms and glared at her, making Amalia frown.“You didn’t have to come.” Amalia grumbled as she waved a waiter to bring food and drinks to them.“If I didn’t show up, you and Robert would be all across the news. People will gossip that you are dating your dead brother’s best friend.” Stephen hissed as he scolded his sister. “I couldn’t let Jacob Ling getting his dirty hands all over my sister in law!” Amalia said a little bit too loudy, making Stephen throw her another glare. Amalia was quick to cover her mouth, realizing her mistake. Next to her Robert laughed and shook his head.“You know, she hasn’t been this way since before the incident.” Robert said with a sad smile.“The incident?” Stephen asked, confused by his friend’s words.“He meant since you died.” Amalia explained. Gone was her smile, she was now looking down in embarrassment.“I’m back now.” Stephen said as he tried

“The top floor?!” Carissa asked, panicked that they were going to the executive’s floor. “Won’t we get into trouble for going there?” “No, we’ll be fine.” Stephen said as he turned around to check on the woman. “She’s not injured.” Natalia told Stephen. “I checked her, she has a few scratches and her make up and hair are ruined, but nothing permanent.” Stephen nodded as Michael Ho handed the girl his handkerchief to clean up her makeup. “Wh- why are you being so kind to me?” The woman stuttered. “You’ll get fired for helping me, Miss Ye doesn’t forget and she has so much influence it’s almost impossible to go against her.” “Don’t worry about us.” Stephen said as he smiled at the woman, trying to give her comfort. “So tell me, what’s your name and what happened.” “Isabelle.” The woman responded as she kept looking down. “What Miss Ye said was true, I somehow managed to get Vice President Cho’s attention, but I don’t want it. I have a boyfriend and I love him and I don’t want to
