But whatever the reason, it wasn’t something she needed to understand. What she needed to do now was quickly go to the tea room and make the boss a cup of coffee.Had she known, she would have taken the day off. Then she could have slept in with her husband a bit more, or had breakfast together, or watched a movie, gone to the supermarket—anything would have been better than coming to work and being the target of someone’s anger for no reason.After making the coffee and bringing it in, Paula Joukanen didn't even look at her, instead directly throwing a stack of documents on the desk for her...All handwritten, with messy writing and mixed languages."I need this typed up in half an hour.""OK, I’ll do it right away."She was about to leave when Paula Joukanen spoke again, "Make sure to reply to those emails early.""I understand."As she left, Joukanen didn’t even lift her head once.No matter how good Monica’s temper was, she couldn’t help but get angry.Wasn’t this too much?Return
"Alright.""Okay, I’ll come pick you up later."Hanging up the phone, she turned to leave and saw Paula Joukanen standing at the tea room door, looking at her with a peculiar expression..."Boyfriend?""No," Monica smiled faintly, "my husband."Then she left, leaving Paula Joukanen standing there with a look of disbelief.***********"Enjoying springtime too much lately, huh?"Ryo brought out two cups of coffee, teasing Caesar, who had a joyful expression on his face.Caesar put his phone away and glanced at him, "You’re the one who’s been enjoying springtime."If Ryo's expression wasn’t one of someone who’s deeply in love, then what was it?But, then again, he always looked like that over the past few years."Yeah, had a three-day vacation on the island, did you gain anything?" Ryo sat down opposite him, sipping his coffee, casually asking."Not bad." Recalling the three-day vacation on the island, Caesar was extremely satisfied, though he tried not to flaunt it in front of Ryo.Show
"Christopher!" Joy stormed out, her heels clacking loudly on the marble floor.When she angrily flung open the office door, the person she was looking for appeared right in front of her. Good, saved her the trouble of searching."Joy, what’s wrong?" Christopher asked, his usual gentle smile on his face, looking at his furious wife with confusion."What’s wrong?" Joy nodded, pulling her husband straight towards the pool."Joy..." Christopher allowed himself to be pulled along. After glancing at Ryo and Eleanor, who were clearly waiting to enjoy the show, he seemed to understand.His son must have been a fish in a previous life; otherwise, why couldn’t he resist jumping into water whenever he saw it?Jumping in was one thing, but why get caught by his mother? Now, tonight, it wouldn’t be the child getting scolded but him.Their son was the darling of the family. Not only did his wife disapprove of swimming in deep water, but even his parents didn’t agree, yet he had turned a blind eye s
Another string of sighs followed. Monica quickly pulled back her hand, saying, "It's... just normal. You only get married once in a lifetime."She hadn't worn her wedding ring to work before, fearing it would attract too much attention, but now Caesar insisted she couldn't leave the house without it."True, but this pink diamond alone is something ordinary people might never earn enough to buy in their lifetime.""Well, her husband is rich and mysterious, not to mention he doesn't say much.""With a husband like that, Monica must be working just to pass the time, right?""Alright, alright, it's their business, don't be so curious. It's lunchtime, let's go."Seeing Paula Joukanen step out of her office, everyone scattered.Monica finally breathed a sigh of relief.People change so quickly. It's really hard to find genuine friends in the workplace.She used to think her colleagues were nice, but reality proved that you only truly know someone over time.Her phone vibrated, and she glanc
No surprise there.As they left, Caesar immediately leaned in to kiss her passionately in the car, their tongues intertwined without a care for the public.Monica held him tightly, her head tilted back for a deeper kiss."How about skipping the office this afternoon?" He asked between kisses."No.""Let's go home...""Don't."So stubborn!He closed his eyes, resting his forehead against hers to calm himself.After a while, he kissed her forehead gently, buried his face in her hair, inhaled deeply, and finally let her go."Tonight, I'll show you what happens when we get home." He started the car, teeth gritted."Can I apologize first?""An apology needs sincerity.""Drive quickly; I'm almost late."Her coy tone made the man driving itch with desire, wanting to take her home or to a nearby hotel.They arrived at the publishing house with five minutes to spare, just in time. If Paula Joukanen caught her late again, who knew what she would do."Oh, Monica, why are your lips so red?" Anni
"There won't be.""Take a painkiller first, then we'll go have breakfast."He helped her sit up against the headboard, placed a pillow behind her, and handed her a glass of warm water and a pill."Open your mouth!"She obediently opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.Whether it was psychological or not, her headache seemed to lessen almost immediately."You're so good to me, husband," she said, smiling sweetly at him."Flattery won't help. Resign immediately. I don't want my wife out socializing, drinking, and getting taken advantage of by others." If he hadn't arrived in time last night, it wouldn't have been just a simple case of being taken advantage of.If she hadn't fainted last night, he would have beaten that despicable guy to a pulp."I know. I'll submit my resignation today.""Just rest. I'll handle it.""Okay." She lazily lay back on the bed, not wanting to move, holding onto his hand."Did I throw up last night?" she asked."You threw up everywhere! You even soiled your
Though he disliked her working, if she found staying home too boring, he could at least provide her with an outlet.The cultural sector was unfamiliar to him, but for her, he had invested. Now, even Ryo and Lucas in London were interested.Both of their wives were notable in their fields—one a renowned novel translator with her own studio, the other, Ryo's sister, who started drawing out of boredom and became a successful manga artist with a unique style and a significant following, though temporarily paused due to pregnancy.Former doctor Ryo decided to invest in their careers, collaborating with Caesar and Lucas, securing control over Reccel, all for their beloved wives."Husband, I want to do something else now," Monica said, hugging him, smiling beautifully."Oh? Tell me.""Let's have another child, okay?"Her fair cheeks turned rosy, making his heart flutter."Are you inviting me to make a baby right now?""Mr. Caesar, do you accept this invitation?""Of course." He lifted her a
After each round of the show, the outfits worn by the models were quickly snapped up. Soon, the dozens of outfits Luccie had meticulously prepared were all bought, and those who didn't get one immediately placed orders for the new season.The final round featured wedding dresses, and the last model showcasing the most important piece was none other than the designer herself, Luccie.In a wedding dress of classic design, adorned with countless jewels, Luccie appeared even more elegant and stunning.As soon as she stepped out, Luccie received thunderous applause, but no one rushed to buy this special wedding dress.As the spoiled rich girl walked the runway, shouts filled the hall, "Where's the groom? Where's the groom?""Honey, is there really a groom?" Julie whispered to Ryo."No idea." He shrugged.Eleanor sighed deeply.Luccie had walked halfway down the runway in her wedding dress. Everyone thought there wouldn't be a groom, so some were already preparing to place orders for the dr
