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
"Larry, did you see the news?" Liana came out of her room, rushing to the sitting room where she found Larry focused on the big screen, his face void of any emotion as she thought about what was going through his mind. She moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulder behind him as she kissed his cheek. "You seem so serious, what's the matter?"Larry heaved a sigh. "It's nothing. I just think that they weren't supposed to disclose the news." Liana nodded her head in agreement. She unwrapped her arms from his shoulder and went on to sit beside him, cuddling each other on the couch. "Now we're living together what's your plans?""Plans? You want us to get married?" He teased chuckling, raising her chin.Liana was dumbfounded for a while, she shifted her gaze away from him, and a slight brush crept up her cheeks as she twirled her hair. "We shouldn't get married immediately, I don't even know your family or much about you.""Family?" Larry exhaled. "I don't know anything
"You have to take it easy or you'll end up in that hole." Came the voice of a man who pulled Richard away, right after he was about to fall into a nearby hole due to his drunkenness.Richard staggered, and the man held him carefully while Richard turned his head to meet the man's gaze, his blurry vision became clear at the sight of the man in front of him as he became still, his gaze not leaving the man's face."Aren't you going to let go of my arms now?" The man asked raising his brow.Embarrassed, Richard removed the man's arms from his hold, shifting his gaze away from him as he ran his fingers through his hair in embarrassment. Both men stood beside the hole, Richard refusing to say anything to the man standing in front of him as he kept sighing and refusing to meet the man's gaze.The man kept checking his watch as he waited for Richard to say something but the latter didn't move an inch. "Let's go back to the bar and talk." He said, leaving Richard all alone as he headed to the
