"I called this meeting to let you all know that our automobile project is being canceled," Richard announced with a serious tone as he stood in front of the gathered staff at RIC CORPORATION, anxiety washed over his face as he was burdened by the news itself.Murmurs of disbelief and concern filled the room. Richard raised his hands to silence the chatter before continuing. "Unfortunately, we all know what happened to our CEO, Christopher Valgar, he's still in the hospital and is unable to oversee the project. Without his guidance, we can't move forward."Again, the staff murmurs filled the air. The senior staff raised his hand. "What about Miss Yue Wang, the CEO's assistant? Can't she take charge?" He asked.For once the other staff agreed with him. "She's capable.""It's her project afterward.""They're all her ideas so we can't abolish it when she can take charge."Richard listened to their murmurs and chattered and shook his head giving them a negative response. "Miss Yue Wang is
Larry sat close to the barman who was taking records of his sales. He kept sighing repeatedly, massaging his temple as he rested his head on the table tiredly."You don't need to get all worked out about your sister's son." The barman said without sparing Larry a glance. Both Larry and the barman were close friends ever since Larry was a daily customer in his bar. "Stick your nose to your sales," Larry said with his head still lowered on the table as he kissed his teeth. He murmured some words that were best known to him. When the barman was done calculating his sales for the day, he took a seat close to Larry, helping the latter raise his head from the table and directing his gaze to him."You look helpless...ish!" The barman said as he shook his head disapprovingly at Larry's looks.Larry pushed his hands away from his face, a disgusted frown settled on his face as he shifted his gaze away from his friend. "Man, you wouldn't believe what I heard Liana spout from the recordings," La
"Miss Wang, we only came to see if the CEO's condition has improved. We sincerely mean no harm." Richard spoke on behalf of his colleagues."Mr. Velvet, I understand and it's so kind of you and the team to be this thoughtful but we aren't accepting any gifts on behalf of the CEO and no one is allowed to see him." Yue Wang said with immense gratitude and her voice laced with regret.Cosmos wondered why she declined their entry to see the CEO, at least they were being thoughtful, he thought as he sat still, leaving Yue Wang to handle her colleagues."Can we drop the gifts instead?" Miss Blondie took the initiative to speak up as she stood beside Richard."Not at all, miss." Yue Wang disapproved abruptly. Before she or anyone could say anything else, a nurse came over to announce the closure of their visitation making them go back to their respective places in utter disappointment.When they were finally out of the hospital, Yue Wang heaved a sigh of relief as she sat back on the seat, b

He found the scene to be a very romantic one not knowing what was actually going on between the duo. He wanted to come down from his car but decided to wait until Sapphira was gone and made sure his presence wasn't noticed.Meanwhile, Cosmos felt uneasy wash over him as he pushed Sapphira away. "I wouldn't allow you to lock gaze with the young master." Cosmos said gritting his teeth."Well, then. Just know that, I'm not after him but the chairman. You should be after the young master.

He had demanded answers from the doctors, desperate for any shred of information that could shed light on Christopher's sudden seizure.Finally, the doctor emerged from Christopher's ward, his expression grave. Chairman Conrad wasted no time in intercepting him, his voice tense with urgency. "Doctor, I need to speak with you," he said, his tone brooking no argument.The doctor, a seasoned professional with a calm demeanor, nodded solemnly. "Of course, Chairman Conrad. Please follow me to my office," he replied, leading the way down the corridor.As they entered the doctor's office and settled into their seats, Chairman Conrad wasted no time in getting to the point.

Thoughts of Larry Conrad danced through her mind, his presence a constant shadow that loomed over her every waking moment.But alongside the flicker of longing for Larry, there was a deeper, more visceral sensation clawing at her insides. It was a feeling of dread, of something dark and foreboding lurking just beneath the surface. And as the minutes ticked by, it only grew stronger, until it felt as though she might suffocate under its weight.Unable to bear it any longer, Liana rolled out of bed, her limbs heavy with exhaustion.
