"Now, let's give the bride and groom a round of applause!" an emcee exclaimed, breaking Jaiden's reverie. The audience clapped, flooding the room with roars and cheers. "Kiss, let's kiss!" shouted one of the guests, making the atmosphere even more boisterous. Vera's face turned red with embarrassment, while William could only scratch the back of his head. They both looked shy, but also very happy. The emcee saw the situation and decided to add a little spice to the show. "For the finale, let's see just one more moment of intimacy from the couple in front of everyone," the host said, getting the audience even more excited. With a distinctive voice, the MC again requested, "Don't be shy, William and Vera! We're all here to celebrate your love!" The remark was immediately met with applause and cheers from the audience, marking the culmination of the happiness felt by everyone in the room. William, who seemed to have gathered courage, slowly took Vera's arm. He looked at Vera with a ga
That morning, Vera was busy checking files at her desk. Suddenly, someone placed a cup of hot tea in front of her. Vera turned around and only managed to say "Thank you-" thinking that it was an office boy. However, she was surprised to see that it was Jhonas, Vera's own boss."Mr. Rivery?" Vera asked with furrowed brows, surprised. "Why are you giving me this tea?"Jhonas didn't answer Vera's question. Instead, he sat down in front of her without asking permission and started talking. "Vera, why didn't you invite me to your big party last week?" asked Jhonas, his voice full of disappointment.Vera was surprised to hear the question. She felt bad and honestly replied, "I didn't expect such a big party, Sir. I didn't think it would be such a big party."Jhonas seemed to understand, but he still felt disappointed."I'm sorry again, Sir," Vera said, her voice full of regret. "I'll be honest, I didn't expect William to throw such a big party. I thought he was just joking."Vera sighed, fe
William waited outside the office building in his car. When he saw Vera coming out of the door, he immediately opened the car door for her. Vera got in with a somber-looking face, different from her usual."Is your boss bothering you again?" William asked, trying to understand Vera's mood. He knew that Vera sometimes felt pressured by Jhonas' rather annoying attitude."No," Vera replied, staring out the window. "I'm fine, it's nothing." Her voice was flat, trying to mask her anxiety.William watched Vera. He knew that something was bothering Vera, even though she didn't want to admit it. "If you're fine, why do you look so glum?" he asked again, this time in a more serious tone.Vera sighed, then turned to look at William. "I'm just feeling a little tired, William, that's all. There are some things in the office that make me feel uncomfortable, but it's no big deal. I can handle it."Actually, it was the staff in her office about the branded bags. Vera really didn't mind, but she coul
"Beautiful flowers, for the most beautiful woman." William said those romantic words as Vera was getting into the car.Vera looked surprised. She received the flowers filled with happiness."Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart." William congratulated Vera on their third year of marriage."Do you remember this is our wedding anniversary?" Vera sat up. She hadn't fastened her seatbelt yet because she was first busy inhaling the scent of the flowers William had given her."Someone marked it on the calendar. There's no way I can't remember." William rolled his eyes. He should have known because Vera didn't seem to want this moment to pass."I did that on purpose." Vera admitted it because she knew most men would forget important moments.William just smiled."Like the flowers I gave you?" William asked hopefully as he watched Vera"I like them." Vera admits it and she doesn't get tired of inhaling the fresh scent of the roses.The first surprise had worked. It was just a matter of waiting for t
Jaiden, with a face full of anger, smiled sarcastically, "Alright, William. I'll prove to you that I can meet Sean Montgomery. And when that happens, I hope you're ready with your embarrassment!"William only showed a calm smile. "I will wait patiently, Jaiden."The tension in the room was growing. Sarah spoke up. "William, you're just getting carried away. You have the nerve to challenge Jaiden. Watch out, you'll embarrass yourself and Vera."William tugged at the corner of his lips. "I was going to say, prepare yourselves mentally!"Amanda was also annoyed at her son-in-law's attitude. "William, behave yourself!"William looked at his mother-in-law. "Mrs. Lyn, if you intend to move your business forward, you should entrust everything to your son."Amanda just snorted. Ever since Vera decided to reject many good men just to choose William, Amanda had been very disappointed with her ever since. "There's no need to talk about Sean Montgomery anymore," Amanda said, ending the argument
At first, Vera was skeptical, not believing that Sean, a man who had been known to be quite difficult to conquer, would take the conversation in a serious direction. She had always seen Sean as authoritative, assertive, and a little mysterious.However, her doubts were soon dispelled when they entered Sean's office. The room, which was usually filled with a relaxed and warm atmosphere, now turned into a serious arena for business discussions. In the center of the room, the Grand Street Commercial logo was displayed.They sat across from each other, on the large mahogany table that Sean usually used to confer. The discussion was in full swing, with Vera demonstrating her in-depth knowledge of the business and Sean making what seemed to be a very lucrative offer.Sean offered a contract with a fantastic value, reaching 500 million dollars. Hearing the figure, Vera suddenly panicked. ***William, as usual, picked Vera up in his favorite car. Along the way, Vera couldn't hide the big smi
This morning, as Vera was applying moisturizer, William stood behind her and said, "Ver, I think you should submit your resignation today."Vera, who was surprised, turned around and looked at William with a confused expression. "Resign? But why, Will?""Because you're working on something big. I think the preparation of the proposal to be submitted to Grand Street Commercial is quite draining." William tried to calm down Vera who looked confused and surprised.Vera, still confused. She looked at William. "But, Will, JL Corp is my dad's company. This is the legacy he left to me. Is it really natural for me to resign?""You didn't leave it."William smiled. "You're just giving yourself space to concentrate on bigger projects. You're not leaving JL Corp, you're taking it to the next level."Vera looked doubtful, weighing William's words."Vera, your company is public. Your mother is the biggest shareholder and you are under Jhonas Rivery." William explained to his wife as he took Vera's
"The project that will be undertaken with Grand Street Commercial is not a small project. They are investing billions of dollars. Can you handle that on your own?" Amanda asked."Think about it, there are a lot of big companies that will bid for them. How dare you challenge me."William still didn't answer anything. "You're even making my relationship with my daughter more fractured because of your attitude!" Amanda accused again dispassionately.William shook his head, denying his mother-in-law's accusations. "It's not that, Mrs. Lyn, believe me that Vera is capable.""I will offer you two choices. Vera resigns from her current position, or you give her the project."Amanda glared at that. "I'm sure she'll be able to do it," William added.Vera, who was stared at by her mother, could only swallow. Even though William was very confident in her, she also had to admit that her ability in business was mediocre. Yesterday, when she met with Sean Montgomery, they didn't talk much about
