"I didn't expect her to be that crazy. I thought she had given up because she couldn't get in here. But it turns out she still has other ideas and managed to create a mess," said Chloe, sitting beside the gurney. Olivia shook her head slowly, still not expecting Arista's idea to break in wearing an older woman's clothes.The disguise was very successful. Everyone didn't even realize it. She really prepared everything well. And honestly, she didn't think that Arista would be so determined as to disguise herself and try to make a fake voice."What exactly is her purpose in coming here? It can't be to see my brother's condition, right?" Chloe turned around and looked at Jeslyn with confusion visible on her face.She really didn't know anything about the reason or anything about Felix's past. Apart from that, Felix didn't explain it to her, she also had no intention of asking. She thought it was just the past and didn't need to be discussed anymore. After all, they had already gone their
Secretary Jorell was startled and was about to open his voice to calm things down. However, one word after another continued to occur, making the meeting room instantly become crowded with words of approval.This was Secretary Jorell's first time, and now his head was spinning. He was running out of ideas to convince them that the project would run smoothly."Secretary Jorell, as the third highest shareholder, I want this project stopped," Mr. Atticus said firmly. "I don't want to risk letting the project run without a person in charge. Now it's better to focus on Chairman Felix's recovery.""Sir, that can't be-""But I think we should take a look," interrupted Mr. Wesley, the fifth highest shareholder. He looked at the people sitting there and then turned to Secretary Jorell. "Can you take me to the hospital? We should at least confirm her condition to make the right decision."Secretary Jorell's face changed as soon as he heard him say that. But a moment later, he flashed a faint sm
"No," Secretary Jorell replied nervously. But he tried to regain his composure and continued, "What could I be hiding? I was just surprised that you came out of the blue.""Really?" asked Clarita in confirmation, which was met with a firm nod from Secretary Jorell.And not wanting this to continue, he quickly looked away and asked, "Since when did you come? Weren't you unable to come here today because of an important client meeting?"As soon as this was brought up, Clarita's focus was diverted. She lowered her hand and walked towards the waiting chair. "Indeed. But everything went well, far beyond my expectations. That's why I decided to come."Secretary Jorell, who had secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded. He glanced at Felix and then caught up with Clarita and sat down beside her. "Your boutique is progressing well.""Yes. I'm very happy. It's all because of Felix's full support. If he hadn't approved of my desire to open my own business, I wouldn't be where I am today," said
"My brother is still on his way from out of town. I told him you guys wanted to meet, and he's coming straight home," said Jeslyn, who walked in front of Clarita and Secretary Jorell, leading them into the living room. "But you can rest easy. He has a very reliable driver for important things like this. It will probably be here soon.""There's no need to rush," said Clarita, sitting on the sofa next to Secretary Jorell. "Mr. Miles is very busy. It would be an honor for us to meet and speak with him in person.""What are you talking about?" Jeslyn chuckled softly. "It is my brother who is honored to speak with you."Suddenly, Clarita chuckled too."But, by the way, why did you want to see my brother? Is there something?" asked Jeslyn, looking at Clarita and Secretary Jorell in turn.But the man didn't seem to want to open his mouth. As evidenced by his gaze that had been fixed on the table with his mouth clamped shut."There is one thing we need Mr. Miles' help with," Clarita replied b
After all the planning and preparation, the much-anticipated meeting finally came.In her room, Clarita stood in front of the large mirror, staring at her neatly dressed reflection in blue cloth pants and a white blouse with lace on the chest. Her normally wavy hair in a striking color was now jet black and straight. Overall, her appearance was stunning, with a drastically changed aura.Unfortunately, on her beautiful face, there was no smile, and she looked pale. Even the makeup that was applied could not cover it up completely.Clarita took a deep breath and let it out, hoping her nervousness would disappear. However, it didn't and instead intensified. Cold sweat began to bead on her temples and neck, making her instantly want to cry."Why am I like this? It's okay, Clarita, calm down," Clarita muttered as she clutched her chest, constantly breathing in and out. "It's just a meeting, okay? There's no need to be nervous or scared. They won't eat you."Clarita nodded firmly and looked
Clarita, who had been calm, was instantly so nervous that her hands were sweating.However, at Secretary Jorell's side, the man still looked calm. "There is indeed a risk. But doesn't everything have a risk? This trip would not be fun without risks, even small ones.""But the risk in this project is very high. You can't play around with something like this," the other man said in a high voice that sounded arrogant.Secretary Jorell was still calm. He smiled and nodded slowly. "We know. Chairman Felix has reviewed it thoroughly and confirmed that the risk will not affect the project.""So? Right now, he's in the hospital. And according to the latest news, he's not making any progress. If this continues, Secretary Jorell, isn't that already a very high risk, even more than the project itself?" The other man replied but with much better speech than the previous men.Hence, Secretary Jorel, who had been on the verge of being annoyed, was instantly dispelled. His gaze turned to the man, an
"How did this happen?" Mr. Wesley entered his room while loosening his suffocating tie and turned around, pointing at the three men walking behind him. "Yesterday, you were so confident that I would be in charge. Now what, let alone in charge? I don't even have a chance! Argh! Incompetent!"Then he turned around and walked quickly to the sofa and threw his body roughly there. His irritation was running high, making him look sarcastically at those standing still in their places. "What are you doing there, huh? Are you going to be like that forever? Standing around like fools?"Immediately, the three men looked at each other and then hurried to sit on the sofa.They were the ones who had continued to oppose Clarita at the meeting."Sir-""Shut up! I haven't let you speak yet!" exclaimed Mr. Wesley, his eyes bulging with anger. "This is all because of you!"Mr. Wesley's index finger wagged, pointing at the three men there in turn. But afterward, he exhaled harshly and rubbed his face in
"Chloe, what happened?" asked Clarita anxiously with bated breath.Chloe, crouched down and crying with her face hidden in her hands, looked up. As soon as she saw her sister, her lips trembled again, with tears flowing even faster.Of course, Clarita panicked even more. She squatted in front of Chloe and asked again. "Why? What happened? Why are you crying?"Secretary Jorell stared into the room, looking at his master, who was still as before and then turned to Chloe, who was still unable to speak because of her sobs."Chloe." Clarita could wait no longer and needed an explanation.Chloe tried to stop her crying, but it wasn't easy. "Brother Felix, sister. Just now... Brother Felix was-""Yes?" Clarita looked at Chloe intently, waiting patiently for the girl to finish her sentence.Chloe's tears broke out again, making Clarita unable to bear it, and she immediately pulled her into her arms. Her tears fell when she saw how hysterical her sister's cries were. Chloe must have been scare
