The headlights of William's car should have made Vera realize he was coming. However, it seemed like they were so engrossed in their conversation that Vera didn't care. William turned off the car engine, thinking for a moment. Should he get off or not?Vera noticed William's arrival, the Ferrari car was quite conspicuous. The girl patted the thigh of the boy next to her, then she made a small run towards the car. Vera tapped on the glass. William opened the door immediately. The man put his foot on the ground and he greeted Vera. "Why don't you come down and say hello to me, instead of staying here?"William scratched the back of his head. "I thought you were busy, so it's not nice to interrupt." Vera laughed quite loudly at that. "What's busy? I was just waiting for you. Come on in." Vera took William's hand. It was an ordinary touch. They had been friends for a long time. However, for some reason tonight his heart was beating so fast, like there was something different about the
William was shocked. He stared at Vera wide-eyed, unable to believe what he had just heard. He never thought that Vera would actually like him.After the shock wore off, William felt happy."I'm sorry, Ver, that I couldn't dare to approach you. I thought... I wasn't your equal back then."Vera shook her head at William's confession. "Since when did I judge someone by their social status?"William knew that because Vera was very kind, it was impossible for her to judge someone by their social status. However, considering that there were many men who approached Vera, it was quite surprising that she said she liked William.Vera felt that the atmosphere between them was very awkward."I'd better go in first." Vera, stood up and walked slowly towards the door of her house, leaving William who was still sitting on the garden bench.William looked at Vera's back. Then, she stopped her steps. She turned around, her expression a little hard to guess. Every now and then Vera fluttered her hand
In the hospital waiting room, the atmosphere was quiet and tense. Amanda looked at Thomas with teary eyes and a heavy heart. Her husband was lying in the operating room, his life dependent on the expensive surgery. "No, Thomas," Amanda said, her voice hoarse, "my husband's surgery is very expensive. I'm going to tell the doctor that he can have regular care until we can raise the money to help him." Thomas looked at her with sympathetic eyes. "That's okay, Aunt Amanda," he said, "I'll tell my father to help with Uncle Lyn's treatment." However, Amanda shook her head, "No, Thomas, I'll work on this myself." Thomas did not give up as he continued to try and get Vera's attention. He glanced at Vera who was sitting quietly in the corner of the room. She seemed indifferent, unaffected by the situation that was happening around them. "I'm going to catch some air," Vera said suddenly, getting up from her chair and leaving Thomas and Amanda in the waiting room. The atmosphere became even
While William was busy talking to Vera, Thomas chose to have a private conversation with Sarah elsewhere. The dim lighting and the sound of rustling leaves, as well as the occasional howl of a dog, made the atmosphere even more intimate."I thought when you asked me to come here, Vera had nothing to do with William," Thomas said, his voice heavy and filled with disappointment. He didn't expect to see William with Vera again, especially at a time like this.Sarah snorted in annoyance, her face looking tense and uncomfortable. "I don't know how he got here either." she said, her voice filled with confusion. "No one told her about Vera's father's condition."Thomas pondered, trying to find an answer to the question Sarah couldn't answer. "Maybe Vera told him herself." he suggested, his voice still calm and steady.However, Sarah wasn't convinced by that. She looked at Thomas with a doubtful gaze. "Vera previously admitted that she wouldn't tell William because she was afraid Aunt Amanda
William's expression changed instantly. Both his brows furrowed and his eyes showed clear signs of confusion.He could not use a personal name to donate to Vera and invest in Jason Lyn's small company. Was it time for William to reveal his identity?Isn't there anything he can do for Vera?When William was considering this, Evan had a rather good suggestion for the man."Sir, how about you use the company name to invest and help Vera at the same time?"William, who was splitting his concentration between driving and listening to Evan, tried to focus when he heard his personal assistant's suggestion."If you use the company name, this will be your first investment in a small company and maybe you will get help to manage it again so that it can grow rapidly." Evan added.William thought this was a pretty brilliant idea."Okay." He agreed to Evan's suggestion. "Then, you take care of everything. Use the company name to invest in Jason Lyn's business and also contribute funds for his oper
Vera and her mother are in a tense situation, throwing sharp words at each other. The atmosphere in the house becomes stifling, emotional distress filling the room. Vera's emotions are running high, upset that her mother has interrupted her conversation with William. She felt her privacy had been trampled upon. "Mom, you shouldn't be like that!" said Vera, glaring angrily at her mother. Amanda, her mother, shot back a glare. "Vera, I allowed you to be close to William all this time because I thought you were just a good girl who felt sorry for him. But, if you fall in love with him, I won't allow it!" Amanda said firmly, without a hint of doubt in her eyes. Vera was silent, her eyes staring wide at her mother. She felt that her mother didn't understand her feelings and was only acting on what she thought was right. "You're even interrupting her when she talks!" she retorted, her frustration mounting. Amanda was annoyed too. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, trying to relieve th
Amanda and Vera get a ride in William's car. They headed to the hospital.After a long drive, they arrived at the hospital. As soon as William parked the car in the parking lot, Amanda immediately opened the door and got out. With quick and steady steps, she approached Vera who was still sitting in the car."Go see your father, see how he's doing," she said firmly, as if she couldn't be denied.Vera only glanced at William for a moment before lowering her gaze, showing the same hesitation and worry.Amanda, who looked rather annoyed with Vera's attitude, rotated her eyes. "Stop being intimate with him!" she admonished, pointing at William.Vera nodded, despite the sour look on her face. "Fine! But, you have to promise not to fight with him!"Amanda tugged at the corner of her lips in a sardonic smile, "Hurry up, Vera! I won't fight with that your William!"Vera nodded slowly and left.After Vera left, William approached Amanda. He stood tall in front of her, his posture strong and sur
When William was confused, Sean reminded him about an important meeting that would discuss their business prospects. "We're going to talk about a big project.""Maybe, I haven't checked my agenda again," William said, admitting that maybe he was wrong. "Alright, I'll prepare myself."After the conversation with Sean, William continued his journey back to the dormitory. Upon arrival, he rested well, preparing himself mentally and physically for the important meeting the next day.The next morning, William arrived at the large villa where the meeting was being held. The grand and luxurious property stood tall, reflecting the importance of the meeting that was about to take place. William gulped, feeling the weight of the responsibility resting on his shoulders.There was also Lucas Anderson, his grandfather and also one of the pioneers in the industry. Despite his age, Lucas still had a burning passion for the business. The two of them greeted each other, William always bowing and being
