Chris, Coldie, Yue Wang, and the other men in black suits gathered around in the sitting room, their expressions weary. Their eyes were glued to the big screen as today was the accession of Chris to become the CEO of RIC CORPORATION but why weren't they happy? Chris heaved a sigh as he rested his back on the chair massaging his scalp as he clasped his hands, his eyes glued to the big screen.Coldie wasn't left out as a gasp escaped his lips, his mouth heavy to say anything at the moment. "The chairman is supposed to be around by now since today is the long-awaited day." He said as he twitched his brows at the big screen."But you said he'd be home in no time, why isn't he home now or should we postpone the accession?" Chris asked, massaging his forehead, tired of the whole situation at hand.Yue Wang sniffed, using a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes. It's been three days and the chairman hasn't called home, even Coldie who everyone thought knew about the chairman's whereab
"Young master, the meeting was a success," Coldie said with a proud smile on his face.Chris couldn't believe that he was finally the CEO of the prestigious company. The higher-ups didn't make him feel uncomfortable as he enjoyed every phase of the meeting. Seeing his office made his heart clench in excitement."My office space is huge." He said, a gasp escaping his lips as he examined the interior of his office which was captivating with a manly aura.Coldie nodded in response. "I'm glad you like your office space."Chris walked towards his desk, his hands touching every part of the wooden desk, his name boldly written on the tablet on the desk. "Wow, I'm impressed. Grandfather already had everything done.""Yes, the chairman is always ahead of his subjects. Besides he'll be happy after knowing you're already the CEO." Coldie said, a satisfactory smile placed on his lips.A sigh escaped Chris's lips. He took out a chair and sat on his, sadness washed over his face as he crossed his l
The members of the board meeting believed everything Cosmos said about Chris becoming the next CEO. He distributed the documents with the Chairman's signature and Chris's signature to every member seated. They all flipped through the papers, their eyes staring hard at each part of the paperwork."The man does have a similar look to the chairman and the chairman told us beforehand that there'll be a meeting regarding the new CEO and that's why we're all gathered here." A man from the board of directors said."Of course. The chairman isn't in the country and every single detail about the meeting will be sent to him so we need to handle everything with care." Cosmos said firmly."Why don't he introduce himself?"On hearing that, Chris almost lost it, he was too nervous to face these people with stern-looking faces. His anxiety became clear to Cosmos and he can't let the meeting go on without Chris not introducing himself. That was necessary. He gave Chris a reassuring smile and pulled him

Chris couldn't believe what just came out of Cosmos's mouth. How could Cosmos be amongst the past CEO of his grandfather's company when they weren't even related by blood and if so why didn't he continue with the CEO task other than for them to hand it over to him? A whirlwind of thoughts clouded his mind as he couldn't keep his gaze off Cosmos who was standing in front of him, leaning on the cupboard. The more he kept staring at his face, the more bothersome he became. What were they hiding from him? What didn't he know? Chris was set to not only grant his mother's last wish but to unveil the chairman's secret and past doings."Young master, my face might end up having a hole if you keep staring," Cosmos said with a firm look on his face."Oh," Chris shifted his gaze away from him. "I didn't realize."Cosmos understood the expression on Chris's face. "Young master you don't need to be worried about how I first became RIC CORPORATION CEO. The chairman was desperate since he hadn't loc
On getting to the mansion, Chris sighted Yue Wang waiting outside on a chilly day. He hurried out of the car once it was parked and rushed to meet her, removing his jacket and placing it around her shoulders. "Let's go inside, it's cold.""I was waiting for you." She said as she turned to face her.Chris noticed she was shivering and held her by her shoulder as they headed inside. Cosmos stood still and watched them leave, he took his phone and took a picture of their backside before he followed them from behind.Meanwhile, Chris arranged for Yue Wang to sit close to the chimney. "It'll be winter any moment from now so keep yourself warm." He stood, trying to leave but she held his arm stopping him from leaving."Stay with me, Christopher." She muttered.Chris sighed as she sat beside her on the floor. "How can I be of service?" Yue Wang placed her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes as she savored her moment with him. "Let's talk about your mother. I think now will be a great ti
Back in the hospital, Larry held onto a clean wet towel, wiping the sweat out of Liana's face as she lay still on the hospital bed. Larry tended to be careful while he wiped the beads of sweat that formed on her forehead and shook his head while he examined her pale skin."You've become skinny." He said exhaling as he finished with his task, keeping the towel on top of a cupboard as he sat beside her on the bed.Liana sighed, she barely had the strength to speak and her voice was barely above a whisper. "Water." She muttered under her breath.Larry took a bottle of water and handed it over to her, with her trembling hands she was able to help herself, gulping them slowly down her throat as Larry gazed at her pitifully.When she was done, he kept the bottle of water beside him in case she needed it again."You look quite pitiful, I was scared to detach that I might lose you." He said removing the strand of hair that fell on her face. Her rubbed her numb lips with his thumb as he felt h
Immediately Liana left Larry seated in the sitting room, she headed straight to her room to freshen up only to find Richard seated on her bed, holding a newspaper.Liana stood frozen at the sight of him. What was he doing in her house? Her maid didn't even tell her beforehand or while she came. She gritted her teeth, clenching her fist beside her but she had to relax since she was still due for recovery.She cleared her throat to make her presence known to him. The moment he raised his head above the newspaper to look at her, a smile plastered on his face."Good to see you're fine." Richard closed the newspaper and placed it beside him on the bed. "I heard you'd be discharged today so I had to come see you myself." He said standing up as he walked towards her."You shouldn't have come, why do you care?" Liana asked, clutching onto her clothes from beside her.Richard stopped in his tracks, his eyes rolling around the room as if looking for something before it fell back to her. "This i
