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
Some weeks passed and the chairman couldn't be contacted. Yue Wang was left disappointed about her failed marriage with the chairman while Christopher officially became CEO and resumed his duties.He left his office to take a tour around the company even after Coldie had shown him around, he wanted to tour around by himself. The staff couldn't keep him out of their sight as they marveled about how charming and manly his appearance was and were glad he was their CEO since they could get a sight of him all the time.Christopher didn't fail to notice the stares on him and whenever he turned to face them, they'd shift their gaze immediately, pretending to be working. A small chuckle escaped as he walked towards the secretary whose heartbeat accelerated at the sight of Chris and with the fact he was approaching her, her breath hitched.He placed his arms on her desk, his gaze not leaving hers and he turned to examine every one of the workers. "Why are they few?""The others aren't back fro
After a long day at the office, Chris forgot it was past work time and forgot about his meeting with Cosmos to take him home. He heaved a sigh and checked his wristwatch only to find out it was evening already.He arranged the few documents remaining for him to sign and walked out of the office only to find his newly appointed secretary waiting for him outside his office a smile flashed on her face immediately after she caught sight of him."It's past work time, why are you still here?" Chris asked, raising his brow as he checked his watch to know if he was mistaken or not.The secretary smiled nervously, tucking her hair at the back of her ears. "I was waiting for you to finish, sir." "Oh." Chris was quite pleased by her commitment to work as he let out a small smile. "Why don't I give you a ride home?""I'll be grateful sir." She said excitedly.Chris nodded in response and walked out of her presence. The latter stood there happily, jumping excitedly before following him from behin
Cosmos doesn't normally get invited to join the family for dinner except the chairman was around. But with Chris's invitation, he couldn't turn down because he was equally waiting and worried for him to arrive home without eating anything.They are in silence until Chris decided to come up with a heart thrilling question that made Cosmos almost got choked in his saliva.“Who was the very first CEO of RIC CORPORATION?” Chris asked, his question taking Cosmos aback as he almost spilled the water that was in his mouth on the food he was eating.He gulped hard, causing discomfort in his throat."I'm so sorry if that came as a shock to you." Chris apologized as he handed over a napkin to Cosmos who wiped the water from the corner of his lips."It's okay, I just didn't expect you'd ask that kind of question." Cosmos said while wiping the corner of his lips elegantly.So there must be something they're hiding, indeed. Chris thought to himself as he let out a sigh, shaking his head disapprovi
The sun flickered through Chris's window reminding him it was morning, he removed the duvet cover from his body, a mischievous grin plastered on his lips. "I didn't even blink an eye throughout the night." He groaned in frustration as he got up from his bed.He found his mother's note on top of his desk, her last words playing in his head as he kept the letter back to where he always hid it.Yawning, Chris walked to the washroom to get his mouth washed and decided to get some food before getting ready for the day. Immediately he walked out of his room, closed the door behind him, and turned around only to find Yue Wang coming out from her room, stretching her arms, yawning."Good morning, Miss Wang." Chris greeted me with a smile."Oh, Christopher, good morning.". She blinked repeatedly with her sleepy eyes.Chris tilted his head. She looked pitiful like someone who was being restricted from sleeping. He walked up to meet her, leaving no distance between the both of them."Go back to b
Richard was in his office on a cold evening when his secretary walked in to drop a document on his table.He took the document and dismissed his secretary only for him to be stunned by the content. "Wait, what!?" He exclaimed. He hastily stood up holding unto the documents.On getting to Lawyer Raphael's office, he hesitated before pushing the door open. "Lawyer Raphael, what am I seeing? Why would an article about Chairman Conrad's disappearance be published?"Lawyer Raphael dropped his pen on his desk as he raised his head, gazing at the angry lawyer in front of him who was clutching onto the document he was holding tightly."Lawyer Richard, the article hasn't be published, you're the first to see it." He pointed out.Richard gazed at the paperwork again, "Did the chairman really disappear? What's going on? The new CEO is on office even without the chairman? How is that possible?"Lawyer Raphael sighed, he stood up and walked towards Richard, resting on his desk. "Lawyer Richard, Si
"Richard, what?" Chris asked in awe as he removed the bed sheet from his body. Yue Wang was stunned, she tried to lean closer to hear whatever they were both discussing on the phone but it was as if they were speaking gibberish and she didn't understand any so she stayed still. "Young master, Richard Velvet will be your new lawyer and he'll resume duty next week," Cosmos said firmly, his voice cold and still as his voice resounded over the phone.Chris pinched the space between his brows. He stood up from the bed pacing back and forth with unease. "Cosmos, can you arrange for another lawyer? I don't think Richard Velvet will be eligible." Cosmos let out a low laugh. "I know your history with Richard Velvet, young master and that's the more reason the chairman appointed him as your lawyer.""Wait, the chairman?" Chris exclaimed almost yelling."Duty calls, young master. I'll be home during dinner." Cosmos informed before hanging up.At the mention of the chairman, Yue Wang felt uneas
The meeting between Cosmos and the woman came to an end. She had a smirk plastered on her face as she bit her lips while she watched Cosmos speak to her about the article and case regarding the chairman.When it was time for him to see her off, he hesitated."What's wrong?" The woman stopped, turning around to face Cosmos who stood there frozen holding her handbag."I don't think this is right. It... isn't." He shutters.The woman let out a low laugh. "You think so, huh? Everything I've been doing so far. I'm doing all that for you and when I become the wife of the chairman, you won't have anything to worry about.""But...but...still I can't go against the chairman and you don't have any right to threaten me with my secret." Cosmos retorted."Oh?" A smug look plastered on the woman's face as he walked towards him while Cosmos adjusted his gaze from her. The more he looked at her, the more angry he became, he clenched his fist beside him, clutching onto her handbag tightly. "Your secre
Yue Wang accepted the gift graciously, thanking Eleanor with a warm hug. "Thank you, Eleanor. It means so much to have you here with us."Eleanor's gaze shifted to Christopher, her expression softening. "You've grown into a remarkable young man, Christopher. I'm proud of the person you've become."Christopher smiled gratefully, touched by Eleanor's words. "Thank you, Eleanor. Your support has meant everything to us."As the evening wore on, Alexander grew tired from the excitement of the day.
