"What are you doing?!" Tony demanded, quickly locking eyes with Michelle.Michelle scoffed with disgust. She realized Tony's eyes had just darted to her boobs.'Men are all the same!' she cursed inwardly.Ignoring Tony's question, Michelle pulled the left side of her blouse, exposing her shoulder and upper arm.Naturally, her left boob was now plainly visible. The light purple bra seemed too small to contain it.On instinct, Tony's eyes flickered again to Michelle's boob, but he quickly redirected his gaze back to her face.Michelle grimaced. Tony was starting to understand what was going through her mind."Resign and hand over the management of the branch bar to me. Otherwise, I will report you for attempted rape. That's the offer I'm giving you," Michelle stated.Michelle's long hair was now disheveled. She dabbed at her lipstick with the back of her hand, trying to make it look like she had just been forcibly kissed.Tony kept his gaze fixed on Michelle's eyes. An annoying thirst b

Inside the taxi gliding smoothly toward Vermaen Hospital...“Yes, I’ll be there soon. About five minutes. Please stay with Jade until I get there.”Tony spoke into the phone. Josephine, on the other end, said something, but only Tony could hear it.“Okay. Thanks.”He hung up and slipped his phone into his pocket, then turned his gaze to the window. Tall buildings passed by, standing firm and silent.In truth, Tony was anxious. He had been anxious since he left The Wild Deer bar. The incident in VIP room number 3 kept replaying in his mind like a film on a loop. And every time he rewatched it, a strong guilt surged, constricting his chest.‘You're stupid, Tony! How could you be so fucking stupid! You literally kissed Michelle and got caught up in that heated mess!’ he berated himself silently.Tony considered himself careless. His intention in keeping Michelle from leaving VIP room number 3 was to prevent her from slandering him as planned. But with that heated incident, Michelle had

After leaving Jade in the care of Carol and two nurses who would take turns watching over her, Tony headed to the branch of The Wild Deer bar. He had no choice but to leave the hospital because there was an urgent matter he needed to attend to at the bar.Tony had just gotten out of the taxi and was walking briskly into the bar area. The security guard at the front gate gave him a respectful nod, but Tony ignored him.Once inside, Tony asked where Michelle was. When he was told she was in her office, he immediately climbed the stairs and headed to her office.Upon arrival, Tony didn't knock; he simply pushed the door open.Michelle, who was sitting at Tony's desk doing something on his laptop, looked up, visibly startled. She then clicked her tongue in irritation and returned her gaze to the laptop screen."Michelle, what's the meaning of this? You changed the bar’s operating hours?" Tony demanded, closing the door behind him and walking towards the desk.Michelle didn't respond. Ton

The first security guard turned to Bjorn, who was still standing behind the closing gate, as if seeking an explanation. But Bjorn just looked back at him coldly.As the gate finally shut completely, the guard realized that whatever Tony was going to do to him and his partner was none of Bjorn's business.Cold sweat trickled down the back of his neck."I said, get over here! Now!" Tony barked.The two security guards were shocked, their eyes wide as if they'd seen a ghost.They then hurried toward Tony, stopping right in front of him.Tony stared at them one by one. The guards stood still as if being inspected by their superior.“How long have you two been working here?” Tony asked coldly.The guards exchanged glances, unsure who should answer. Finally, the first guard spoke up.“Q-quite a while, sir. About t-three years.”The first guard wondered why he was suddenly stuttering, but it was understandable. Tony was terrifying right now. They could even move a muscle.Tony continued to s

"I can’t believe this! You’re taking his side, Dad?" Michelle protested, her voice rising.Patrick sighed. He knew Michelle would react this way.But he couldn’t back down. He had an agreement with Tony. This wasn’t about pleasing his only daughter anymore. It was about maintaining his integrity as an honorable man.An honorable man keeps his promises. And that’s what Patrick was doing."Stop acting like a child, Michelle. I made this decision deliberately, with careful consideration. I handed the management of this branch to Tony from the start," Patrick said.Michelle stood stunned. Had she heard right? Didn’t last night her father promise to punish Tony severely and hand over the branch's management to her? Why was he changing his mind now?"Dad, you should punish this bastard severely! Now you’re giving him the CEO position of the branch again! What is this? I can’t accept this!" Michelle protested.Patrick took a deep breath, closing his eyes. His patience was wearing thin."Mich
