Gibson was disturbed by Calista's recent inquisitiveness about him. It might be due to Gibson's somewhat distant demeanor towards Calista, but she shouldn't be so persistent in her questioning.Gibson remained silent for a while, growing frustrated with Calista's probing questions. Eventually, he chose not to respond and redirected the conversation."Come inside, you might catch a cold if you stay out too long in thin clothing like that," Gibson said as he walked into the house.Clearly, Calista was disappointed by Gibson's lack of openness. Gibson decided to retreat to his room and sat on the edge of the bed.Gibson continued to brood and contemplate his revenge against Hans, his former manager who had betrayed him and had an affair with Kiara. It not only destroyed his marriage but also cost him his job. His life was in ruins due to Hans, who not only stole Kiara but also his livelihood."What should I do?

Gibson felt something beginning to spread throughout his entire body. The passion he hadn't felt in a long time was now awakening, taking control of his sanity. His hands embraced Calista's small waist and pulled her closer to his body, eliminating the distance between them.Calista, caught up in the moment, responded to Gibson's kiss. Initially, Gibson was surprised because he hadn't expected Calista to reciprocate. He hesitated, thinking that Calista might be angry with him and slap his cheek for his impulsive behavior. However, what Calista did at that moment shattered Gibson's expectations, and he continued his kiss, channeling the rising desire that was surging through him. His other hand gently caressed Calista's back.Calista savored the kiss, causing her to wince. The considerable height difference between them made Calista slightly strained from tilting her head too much, and Gibson had to bend down further. However, Calista's attraction to Gibson's touch prompted her to rise

In the villa below, Sofia was occupied with her daily agenda. The morning started with cleaning the messy front yard due to the heavy rain overnight.After that, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Calista and Gibson. She took out apples and protein milk, peeled them neatly, arranged them on a plate, and placed them in the fridge to keep them fresh. Then, Sofia washed some vegetables to make a salad.Every morning, Calista would only eat one apple, a plate of salad, and a glass of milk. Sofia never missed any of Calista's instructions and had everything ready before Calista woke up.Once all that was done, Sofia would move on to prepare breakfast for Gibson. Just a few slices of toast and black coffee, simple and effortless. While setting everything up on the dining table, Sofia suddenly heard shouts, not too loud but noticeable.Sofia felt puzzled and glanced upstairs, right where Calista and Gibson's rooms were."What was that sound? It sounded like someone yelled. But

Calista and Gibson walked downstairs together. They appeared quite awkward, constantly stealing glances at each other. The awkwardness nearly caused Calista, who was walking ahead, to stumble on the stairs due to her own feet. Fortunately, Gibson's reflexes kicked in, and he grabbed her hand, bringing them closer.Calista widened her eyes as their faces got so close. She could even feel Gibson's breath on her face. Calista's heart was racing too fast. Her eyes kept staring into Gibson's, and she couldn't control her feelings, which were now fixated on Gibson's lips.Lips that were so sensual and captivating. They made Calista blush and feel a warmth throughout her body. So much so that Calista leaned in, and their lips were just inches away from each other."Are you okay?" Gibson asked, snapping Calista out of her trance."What? Uh, I'm fine," Calista replied nervously and pulled away from Gibson. She quickly continued walking downstairs.Calista felt extremely embarrassed by her inab

Gibson, still inside the restaurant, gazed at a woman who was none other than Almeta. She seemed to be contemplating the offer presented by Gibson."Alright, Gibson, I accept your offer."Gibson promptly extended his hand, attempting to shake hands with the woman before him."Pleased to work with you, Almeta. I'm sure you can do it in less than a week," Gibson praised Almeta."Thank you for your trust, Gibson. I'll do it as you promised."Gibson nodded and withdrew his hand after the handshake."Alright, I have to go now."After saying that, Gibson got up from his seat and walked out of the restaurant until his steps halted upon hearing a call from someone."Hey, Gibson."Gibson turned and was surprised to see who was standing before him."Richard?"The man named Richard smiled, stepped closer, and now stood right in front of Gibson."How have you been?"Gibson furrowed his brow, not understanding why Richard was being so casual, as if he had something planned for Gibson."What's up?"
