The evening was close, being a superior at work, Laura has several work loads resting on her shoulders.Her parents were wealthy quite alright, but she never wanted to grow in that manner, she wanted a passion of hers.While finalising her duties for the day, her cell phone chimed. A glance at it, a smile crept across her face as she recognized Gary's name on the screen. It was a pleasant surprise that he had taken the time to check on her."Hey," Laura answered, her voice filled with warmth and anticipation."Hey, beautiful," Gary's voice rang through the phone, and Laura's heart skipped a beat. "I'm coming to pick you up from work. Be ready."Laura opened her mouth to respond, ready to argue that she could make her own way home. However, before she could utter a word, Gary abruptly ended the call. A mix of emotions swirled within her, but deep down, she couldn't deny a flicker of joy at the thought of being picked up by her husband.An hour passed, and Laura's phone buzzed once ag

Gary sat in his sturdy study, engrossed in the piles of paperwork spread across his desk. The room was his sanctuary, a space where he could process his thoughts and find solace amidst the chaos of his life. The walls were adorned with bookshelves, filled with knowledge and memories that comforted him in times of solitude.He loved going through books during solitude, one which he engrossed himself with.While he checked through the book before him, he suddenly checked his wrist watch and realised he was already running out of time.He had to catch up with Michael, his old friend, and at the same time, he had been in the study since 5am.By that time, it was already 10 am.

With a cup of coffee in his hand, Gary sighed and said."You know, Micheal, I've been spending a lot of time with Laura lately, and I'm not sure what's happening to me. It's like... my heart flutters whenever we're together.""It's normal, that should happen, you guys are married." Micheal added with a smile."Yea, it is. She is totally different from Sandra, I must say." Gary added."In addition to it, Gary, if your heart flutters around her, it means one thing – you're falling in love."Gary's face lit up, a warm smile formed across his lips, after which he said. "You know, Micheal, I think you might be right."Just as Gary was about to share his newfound realisation, his phone rang, interrupting the moment.A brief glance at the screen and he saw Laura's name flashing across it.Excitedly, he mentioned. "It's Laura! She's probably done with work. I'll take this."Gary quickly picked up the call, his anticipation filled the room. But as soon as he answered, he heard a sinister voice

The warehouse buzzed with an undercurrent of tension as Gary approached the burly man, his voice firm and unwavering. He locked eyes with him and demanded, "Who is your boss?"The burly man glanced around, seemingly caught off guard by Gary's assertiveness. He hesitated for a moment before pointing towards a shadowy corner of the warehouse. Immediately, a figure emerged, dressed in an expensive suit that oozed opulence.

While the conversation between Mr Gordon and Gary were ongoing, Ethan, Mr Gordon's assistant knocked gently on the heavy wooden door before entering.He then approached Mr. Gordon respectfully and spoke in a measured tone, "Excuse me, sir. There is a visitor here to see you. He goes by the name of Mr. Kim. He mentioned that he would like to discuss a potential partnership with our company."Mr. Gordon, his interest piqued, glanced at Gary and then nodded. "Sure, Ethan. Show him in. Let's see what this Mr. Kim has to offer.""Yes, sir," Ethan acknowledged, jotting down the information in his notepad.
