"Felix," Ardo called in a low voice."I'm tired. I want to rest soon," Felix replied without stopping his steps as he began to climb the stairs.Ardo's steps stopped right in front of the first step. He looked at Felix's retreating back and finally said, "Alright. Tomorrow, you don't have to take me home. I can go by myself.""No, I won't. I'll come with you," Felix replied vaguely.Ardo sighed softly and continued to stare in the direction Felix had gone, even though the man was no longer in sight.As he turned around to go to his room, he was surprised by Benton standing nearby. "Oh my!""Sorry." Benton grimaced softly and stepped back to keep his distance."You just surprised me." Ardo really didn't have the energy to speak. So he looked down lethargically and was about to continue his steps, but Benton quickly blocked him, making him inevitably raise his head and ask, "What's wrong?""Mr. Felix-" Benton glanced at the stairs and gave Ardo a serious look. "Is he okay?"Ardo's brow
Ardo was stunned for a moment. It was only after Felix disappeared that he came to his senses and quickly grabbed his suitcase and chased after him.The place where Ardo lived was not too far from the Zay Group company. It was a small, simple apartment.Once the two were in a car traveling normally, Ardo asked seriously. "Felix, how did you know that last night's drink contained poison?"There was silence for a while. Finally, Felix answered calmly, "The smell was strange. It wasn't sweet or fragrant like a normal drink.""But what did they do that for?" Ardo turned his body to face forward and frowned in confusion while holding his chin. "No, that's not it... why are they so bold? Shouldn't it be done secretly with a poison that has no scent? Isn't that tantamount to showing the public? If anything happens to you, with so many people, isn't that tantamount to suicide? The two of them will not be spared from questioning and investigation."Then he looked at Felix with an earnest gaze.
After finishing his black card, Felix drove his car and stopped in front of a real estate building.He entered the building casually until a male employee came up to him."Can you help me?" Felix asked.The male employee frowned and gave Felix an annoyed look. "Are you sure you want to buy it? If it's just to look around, you'd better leave. My time is too valuable for someone like that."Instantly, Felix's friendly face disappeared and became flat. Even his gaze looked cold.No matter where he was, why did he always meet people like this?He felt like buying every building in the city and kicking out everyone with this attitude. How sickening!"No need, then." With that, Felix walked away without another glance at the man.He walked straight ahead and found a female employee talking to a male customer. It wasn't long before the man left, leaving the employee alone.Felix rushed over and said, "I want a house. Can you help me?"The male employee Felix left behind snorted sarcastically
"Stop being silly, Arista! You're my wife now. Look, we're even still in our wedding clothes, and you want to go see that poor guy?" Pablo shook his head in disbelief. His gaze was intense as he stepped forward and took Arista firmly by both arms. "Don't embarrass me, Arista. Let's enjoy our wedding day. Isn't this what we've always wanted?"However, Arista looked angry. Her eyes turned red, and she brushed off Pablo's hand, holding her arm, and stepped back. "Embarrass you? Pablo, do you think my good intentions are something to be ashamed of?""Don't you remember what happened yesterday? Your name was almost ruined! All your efforts and hard work could have been lost in an instant if Felix had died in our house! I just wanted to explain to Felix, at least, so he wouldn't talk about this to outsiders! Pablo, I just want to help you!" Arista cried with tears in her eyes.Seeing her like this, Pablo's heart ached.He immediately softened his heart and hugged Arista tightly. "I'm sorry.
After a few days, the final product of Mr. Adrian's urban-chic series was finally released.As expected, everything exploded. The public response was overwhelmingly positive, and in no time at all, the company's stock rose rapidly, putting it at the top of the list.Everyone in the company was happy—especially the Chairman, the board of directors, and some of the teams involved.Felix at the Zay Group also felt happy seeing articles about the Vogue Group and the urban-chic series.But in his heart, he secretly thought how good it would be if one day he could achieve what Mr. Adrian did.At that moment, Bella walked behind him on her way to Bertha's desk and deliberately glanced at Felix. When she saw what was on the computer screen, she became startled and exclaimed, "Oh my! What are you doing?"Everyone was shocked. Even Ardo, beside Felix, was stunned and turned his head in displeasure. "Why are you yelling?""Look!" Bella pointed at Felix's computer screen with an expression as if
"Clarita, you look even more beautiful in this dress. Look, your legs look even better. Ah, I'm so jealous." One of Clarita's friends sitting nearby looked at her adoring and enviously. "You... you always make me insecure every time I see you.""Hahaha, what are you talking about? You're pretty, too. All women are beautiful. But of course, I'm the prettiest," Clarita said as she tucked her hair behind her ear coquettishly.All her friends laughed.Among them, there was one friend of Clarita's who sat in the middle and didn't join in the laughter. She was focused on playing with the straw in her drink."Your beauty is incomparable," said another friend.The others agreed and noted Clarita's beautiful appearance in her tight sleeveless dress and high heels in a matching color."What's the point of being beautiful if you don't have a lover? A woman's beauty is for her lover. If you're still single at this age, what's the point? Isn't that a sign that no one wants her?" Suddenly, Clarita'
"I've made a reservation at the Japanese restaurant right in front of the company. You don't mind, do you?" Mr. Adrian glanced at Felix momentarily, then returned to the front.Felix shook his head. "No."The two walked out of the building with light steps. Mr. Andrian said he wanted to enjoy the evening breeze, and since they were close by, they didn't use the car.While waiting for the pelican crossing to light up, Felix suddenly felt like a pair of eyes were watching him. He immediately looked back. His sharp eyes narrowed as he saw the shadow of long legs withdrawing near the side wall of the Vogue Group building."Felix, come on!" Just then, Mr. Adrian's voice suddenly rang out, causing Felix to draw his gaze and find the pelican crossing already lit up."What are you looking at?" Mr. Adrian glanced back briefly as the two began to cross.Felix turned his head and smiled faintly. "Nothing."But after that, he glanced back briefly before choosing to ignore her.Clarita came out fr
"Where's Felix?" Mr. Zay, who had just arrived, approached Mr. Adrian and asked.Today was Mr. Adrian's happiest day. Although Mr. Zay displeased him, he smiled broadly and replied, "He's in the back. Let me take you there!"But Mr. Zay held him back. "No. Let your secretary take me. You stay here."Mr. Adrian frowned slightly in disagreement. But after seeing his secretary nod, he agreed. "Alright. Off you go!""Come, Sir!" Secretary Ash extended his right hand to let Mr. Zay walk first.Backstage, Felix sat pensively in front of the dressing table. His gaze was fixed on the mirror, which showed his reflection looking different.The person who had been doing Felix's makeup walked over to him and said with a smile. "There's no need to be nervous. This might be your first time, but nothing to worry about. You need to walk with confidence."Looking at still silent Felix, the man smiled again and patted him on the shoulder, then walked away.Felix took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.H
