Kayla, in a haste, threw together an outfit. She selected a professional yet elegant slate gray pantsuit, tailored to flatter her slender frame.She paired it with a silky burgundy blouse and subtle gold accessories. The sense of urgency was palpable as she fumbled with buttons and zippers, attempting to remedy her tardiness.Checking the outfit in the mirror, she felt confident and ready to tackle anything the day brought, knowing Reynold stood by her side. She hurried downstairs where her car waited, thoughts filled with optimism rather than distressRey observed from the window, a subtle smile playing on his lips as she hurriedly prepared for the day.Lei, patiently waiting outside, greeted her with a quizzical look. "Your face seems brighter today. Did something good happen? By the way, did you hear? The supplier issue miraculously resolved itself.”Kayla, with a sly smile, replied, "Yeah, something good did happen." Her words hung in the air, a subtle hint that Lei was left to de

The old man’s request stunned Reynold, and he blinked several times, wondering if he’d heard well. But he had.“I did hear from Reizei that you have taken up the hobby of learning martial art.” The old man paused then continued. “And you happen to be learning from one of his rival.” ‘Huh? Master Ren was his rival?’Reynold looked at the cold, stoic Reizei for a moment and brought his gaze back to the chairman.“To make things more comfortable for you. How about we strike a deal. If you defeat any selected individual from this place, you are free to have it your way. However, if you lose, you have to accept an aide.”Reynold lowered his head, frowning a little as he took to thinking the chairman's words. He was not that confident in his combat ability but he was sure he had grown from the way he used to be.‘All I just need to do is pick the weakest.’Reynold nodded at the chairman. “Deal. Let’s do this.”Smiling, he signaled for the commander and the man in charge to come. The hulky

“Fight me again.” Reynold paid the young guy no heed. In fact this was getting hard to bear. He shook his head as if trying to shake of the brooding frustration within him. While keeping his eyes on the road. “I know you can do better than that but you went easy on me. So I want you fight me like you mean it.” “First of all young man. I am not going to fight and are you not supposed to be my bodyguard or something. This is odd, you are the one asking me to fight you when you should be protecting me.” Jovian frowned and looked away. He stared into the blurring buildings as the car zoomed forward, soon his face was filled with innocent glee as he admired views and appreciated the running wind. There was something about him that demanded that he should be let off the hook. He had an unnatural face, almost looking like a nerd but at the same time a subtle spark of ferociousness could be noted in his gaze. He arrogantly turned t

Kayla woke up sluggishly, after what she would describe as a tired night. Of course, it was great and eventful - she got to taste her husband on bed once again and she just had to admit…‘...I don't see myself getting used to it’She sighed and looked beside her. He was fast asleep, one of his hands around her hips. She spent a few more seconds staring at his face. It was a drop of innocence, spelling out the baby in him.He was handsome too, his shoulder had become wider than when she first met him, his arms lighter with muscles rolling under his skin lime twisted cords.Belatedly she looked up and saw that she was in her room, then heaved a sigh of relief. Gently, she removed his hand, trying not to wake him. She got up and was about to enter the bathroom when her phone vibrated.She picked up the full screen communicator and stared at its for a few seconds. Kayla's faced roughened with a slight brow and she entered the toilet with more haste than usual.—Kayla arrived early to the

Kayla hustled down the hall, heels clicking urgently on marble floors. She was running late for the merger negotiations thanks to the misinformation. She was sure this meeting was set for 10:00 AM, but as soon as 8:00 AM the representatives of the Zhang company were already around. Now she had to scramble to make it in time.‘...who the hell gave them a wrong information?’Were they the one given wrong information or was she the one?Rounding the corner toward a certain conference room, Kayla collided forcefully with another person. Papers exploded into the air as she crashed backwards, barely catching herself against the wall. “I’m so sorry!” she exclaimed. Then as she caught sight of the man she’d run into, her expression hardened.Tate. Her brother stood there straightening his suit, trademark smirk firmly in place as Kayla’s important documents fluttered around them. “What are you doing here?” She inquired with a frown.This was the main company, Tate was in charge of the packag
