For a week now, Bill and Joana have been going to and from work together. They have now become closer to each other than ever before. Although each of them still hides their feelings and hides behind the wall of friendship, but the eyes that see their closeness can certainly judge if they have feelings for each other. It's only a matter of time before they are truly united.Bill himself still insists that he and Joana are only suitable as friends. But he did not hesitate to put his best friend's head on his shoulder when Joana was tired. He also did not hesitate to hug Joana when she was feeling depressed. And there were many more light touches that Bill did with affection. I don't know if there really is such a friendship between a woman and a man.Just like this time, after returning from the office, Bill immediately cleaned up and dressed neatly because he already had an appointment with Joana to have dinner together. Bill's appearance at this time looked more casual. He wears jean

Bill finally went down to the ground floor and looked towards the lobby from a distance. Sure enough, the person the receptionist was referring to was Miranda. His ex-wife was sitting on a sofa near the reception desk. I don't know what Miranda wanted at the moment, but it was definitely an annoying thing for Bill.Irritated, Bill let out a rough breath. He knew very well what Miranda was like. She was very persistent when she wanted something. It seemed like Bill had to relent a little and obey Miranda's wishes to talk to each other alone, although of course Bill really didn't want to do that. If left unchecked, it was not impossible that Miranda would make a scene in that place. That would definitely not be good for Bill and the office atmosphere."Please postpone my schedule this afternoon for two hours. I have an important matter to attend to immediately," Bill then asked his secretary over the phone. He couldn't afford to delay any longer. His business with Miranda had to be reso

Although the day had passed, Joana was still feeling very uncomfortable. The memory of Bill walking hand in hand with Miranda kept flashing in her head. Joana was jealous, it was inevitable. Although Joana tried as much as possible to think sane and prioritize logic, but still her feelings dominated."Mom, today we have an important meeting with one of our overseas clients. It's scheduled in an hour. Mr. Bill will be accompanying you," Joana's secretary informed her.Joana nodded in understanding. She remembered the meeting and had asked Bill to accompany her long ago. However, yesterday's events had made her a little reluctant to meet with Bill. At least, until the turmoil in her chest subsided a bit.If today's client wasn't one of the most important clients, Joana might have asked her secretary to postpone the meeting. But she couldn't do that since there was a big project to be discussed with the client."Are you okay, ma'am? Your face seems a little pale?" Joana's secretary asked

Bill's eyes slowly blinked so that he could feel the dazzling light of the lamp penetrating his vision. The man then closed his eyes again with a slightly furrowed brow, enduring the dizziness that was currently so prevalent.Bill groaned. There was something odd about it. His mouth was sore and his voice was stifled. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that his current condition was very poor. Bill was now in an unfamiliar room with his body tied to a chair and his mouth gagged with a cloth.The heart's intention was to scream for help, but what came out of Bill's gagged mouth was again only a stifled moan like before."Oh, you're awake." A masked man then came and approached Bill. Followed by another man who also wore a mask.Bill squinted his eyes slightly at the two men. Now he fully understood the situation he was facing. He was being kidnapped, for whatever reason. "You must be wondering why we tied you up like this, right?" One of the masked men asked Bill, as if he kne

The next day, Bill was taken away by two masked men who kept him overnight, blindfolded. He was directed to get into a car and did not know where to go. The distance traveled was apparently quite far although Bill did not know the exact distance. What was clear was that the man had fallen asleep before finally arriving at a place.When Bill opened his blindfold, the first thing he saw was a small house surrounded by very dense trees. It seemed that now he was in the middle of the forest, very far from the city center."Come on, get in!" One of the masked men carrying Bill pushed Bill into the small house, then closed the door from the outside and locked it. Bill was locked in a house that was only the size of his apartment bedroom."As long as the DNA test results aren't in, you stay here. Don't try to escape if you want to survive. There's CCTV inside recording everything you do, so we'll know what you're up to." Bill could hear the warning voice echoing in the room. There seemed to
