PERSONALLY, I DEDICATE THIS CHAPTER TO ALL MY READERS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT ARE FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND THE UNITED STATES. THANK Y'ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORTS....Yue Wang was greeted by the sterile scent of the hospital room as she stirred awake. Blinking away the remnants of the sleep in her eyes, she glanced around, her bisons quite blurry because she had spent all night watching over Christopher until she fell asleep in exhaustion.Gently lifting her head from the edge of Chris's bed, she peered over him to see how she was fairing, if he had at least regained consciousness, her heart skipped a beat as she saw doctors bustling around him. She only recognized the doctor who had been attending to him since they arrived but the other doctors didn't seem familiar and why were they swarming over Chris like bees? There was a flurry of activity, like something
Chairman Conrad rushed to the hospital ward where he met the doctors retreating from Yue Wang's direction to meet him. He was curious to know why there were three doctors instead of one and if anything had happened to draw their attention. At the thought of that, his heart clean he'd with anxiety. His mind filled with a million fears as he prayed for the recovery of his grandson.When the doctors walked closer in his direction, his heart leaped into his throat, his breath catching in his chest as he braced himself for whatever news they were going to break to him. The doctors stood in front of him, locking gazes with the chairman whose eyes searched for any kind of news using the facial expressions of the doctors but it was of no use because their expressions were void and icy cold."I suppose there's good news regarding his condition." Chairman Conrad said, trying to assure himself and bring forth positivity at least, he struggled to maintain posture while his voice wasn't as firm as
Cosmos was at the exact location where he was supposed to meet with Sapphira. He found other elites walking in and out of the hotel bar and decided to ask about the reservation that was made by Sapphira which was in a private area that only she could access."Thank you." He said to the receptionist as he headed to the reservation on the first floor of the hotel. On getting there he met Sapphira waiting for him, standing elegantly which her evening red dress as she held a wine glass, swiveling it as Cosmos gulped hard."Cosmos, my dear. You came just in time." Sapphira said as she took a sip of the wine, her red shades of lipstick staining the wine glass as she dropped it on the table beside her, grinning. "Let's talk at the balcony, I'll use some fresh air." She said leading the way.Cosmos heaved a sigh and followed her from behind quietly, his steps hushed. On getting to the balcony, she adjusted a sit-out for him which he found weird but sat without hesitation."So, why the meeting
Cosmos stood at the balcony like a statue. His head spinning with all sorts of thoughts. He wondered what he has gotten himself to by being an unknown ally to Sapphira. He felt guilty of leaving the hotel and going straight to see the chairman and his grandson but he had to, he didn't have any choice. He walked out of the balcony and saw Sapphira sitting on her bed, on phone with someone until he heard the voice that resounded over the phone."I'm at the company and Cosmos and I are talking about the current article." He heard Sapphira said with a small smile on her face as she winked at him.Cosmos lips were spread apart in utter disbelief. Just why does she want to implicate him. She even had the audacity to hand over the phone to him but he was washed in anxiety. He took the phone after Sapphira had muttered some unknown words to him. "Yes, Chairman Conrad?""Cosmos, I thought I told you to leave the article but why don't you listen?" Chairman Conrad said angrily, yelling over the
"Cosmos, what the hell? Can't you do anything right?" Chairman Conrad yelled angrily after hearing the loud thud that was caused by Cosmos who was helping himself to get up from the floor.He shuddered at the sound of Chairman Conrad's face but couldn't help but lock his gaze on Christopher. "The young master, is awake?"Before the chairman could give a reply to Cosmos, Yue Wang came out of the ward and stood in front of the chairman, interjecting in their conversation. "Of course, the young master is awake or do you have any plans to kill him?"Cosmos and Chairman Conrad were taken aback by Yue Wang's words. The chairman immediately warned her to watch her words meanwhile, Cosmos found her question familiar but if only she knew Christopher wasn't the target but Chairman Conrad."I can see the mistress is mad at me but I'm so sorry, I was with the editor-in-chief and we were talking about the proper-released article.""But the chairman didn't ask you to be in charge of any article."
"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
