Selena sat in her chair with her entourage of lawyers. She kept her head down most of the time, avoiding Tom's threatening glances. Selena wasn't afraid of Tom, she was just pretending to attract the sympathy of the people in the trial, including the reporters who had come to cover the news. She had even prepared a press conference after the trial was over.

"Based on the evidence in the form of recordings and witnesses, Thomas Monroe was found guilty of assaulting Selena Ryle. Thomas Monroe was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, one year of city detention, and ordered to pay a fine of one million dollars to the victim."

Tom's eyes widened. He looked up at his father who was sitting in the audience. Mr. Monroe's face was red with anger at the judge's verdict. He had tried to lobby the prosecutor and judge to free Tom. However, William Smith's power behind Selena was very strong.

Selena asked William.William, who was sitting in his chair doing his work, immediately raised his eyes to Selena who had just entered his room."I told you that if you want to enter my room, knock first," William vaporized."I knocked, but there was no answer. I thought it was something wrong with you," Selena replied.William clenched his hand on the table. "Get out, I don't need you. So, don't come back to my room."Selena gave a small smile. "Okay." She turned around, then said to herself, "Yes, reject me as hard as you can because no matter what you will bend your knees before me."William massaged his forehead after Selena left his office. It had been three days since Selena had worked in his office. If it wasn't for Noah's request, he wouldn't have accepted Selena to work there. Selena had no skills at all, let alone to be one of his team of secretaries. However, William couldn't refuse Noah's request. Besides, Noah promised that Selena would only

    For William everything was fine. He was just walking as usual with the intention of working. He didn't have time to look anywhere. At first he did see a glimpse of a man's shadow approaching him, but he thought the man just wanted to pass by because he was neatly dressed like an employee. Besides, the area could only be entered by employees in the company building or visitors who had registered at the reception. However, he didn't expect the man to run up to stab him in the stomach."I'm going to kill you!" The man threatened and continued to thrust the knife, even though he was in a bit of distress.[Someone has targeted you][Self-protection has been activated]Gregori, who was not far from William, immediately pulled the man who stabbed William.

    "How long are we here?" Selena asked Anne.The two women were still at the Pearl Hotel, which was being renovated. Anne was given the task of checking the repairs against the recorded data. She matched everything written in the documents and ticked the parts that matched."We have to check everything in the data and hand it over to Mr. Smith when we get back to the office," Anne replied."And why is this the secretary's job? Isn't the secretary just organizing the schedule and accompanying to work?"Selena complained, she wanted to get out of there and go back to the office to see William. Besides, she didn't want to linger in such a boring place with so much noise and debate. There were still places being renovated, so the sound of workmen and fine dust from the repaired parts of the building flew around."We also do this kind of work sometimes as secretaries because it's our job to make Mr. Smith's job easier. For the person who always accompanies him, there is Mr. Gregori."Selena,

When he was depressed and desperate, he decided to come to the Emerald Corp office building to find William and kill him.At that time, William was sitting on the second floor terrace of his house looking up at the night sky that was only accompanied by a full moon and a few stars. He found the reason very strange. For a homeless person, Luke's clothes were quite neat. In addition, the stabbing was very planned, even as if Luke knew when William left and returned to the office. William turned to the table beside him. He reached for his cigar and knife. After cutting the cigar he lit it with the lighter that was also on the table. While thinking about the problem that he still had to explore the motive for,

He was able to save up points because he didn't have anything urgent that made him redeem points. At least now he had the ability to protect himself, although the function was not optimal."Exciting story? What was it like?" asked William.A rough exhale escaped William's mouth.

    Noah took off her glasses and put them into the pocket of the blazer she was wearing. The two bodyguards following her came to a halt as she stopped. The few people in the lobby of the Emerald Corp building stared at her in amazement knowing that she was Noah Alexander, the supermodel who would become the wife of their big boss. However, Noah's gaze was only on the woman standing behind the reception desk. She tried to assess the slender woman with black hair that was neatly curled at the back.Beautiful, that's what Noah saw in Jane. However, Noah didn't think that Jane's beauty surpassed her. There was nothing attractive about Jane that she didn't have. If it was true that William betrayed her with Jane, I don't know what William saw in that woman."Good afternoon, how can I help you?" Jane greeted Noah who was standing in front of her desk.Noah smiled a simple smile. "I just saw you here," she said, not answering Jane's question at all."I've only been working here for a week," Jan

Noah was confused alone in her hotel room. Not long after, her cell phone rang and it was a call from the agency. Noah lazily answered the call. The voice on the other end was shouting and wanted Noah to come back from her vacation quickly. "Hurry back and work again Noah! I allowed you only two days of vacation, but it's been more than two days!""I'm just exercising my right," Noah said."Don't mess with me, Noah.

Whenever you need me, just call. I'll come," William said.Noah nodded, she flashed her sweet smile and William responded in kind.

    "Aaargh! Let go! Please don't hurt me!" Noah begged while continuing to curl up in pain. Her legs and hands were tied and the man, whose face was unclear, approached her with a crowbar. Noah struggled with a pleading look in her eyes, shaking her head and asking the man in front of her not to hit her. Unfortunately, the crowbar flew at Noah's head. The woman let out a long scream. Noah was breathing heavily, she was in her own room. Her head felt dizzy with her heart racing. Noah looked around, it was her room then she grabbed the glass of water on the nightstand. She gulped it down, the dream just now really drained her strength. She took a deep breath to normalize her heartbeat."It was just a dream," Noah muttered. She rubbed her face lightly, sweat soaking her face and body. Even though the air conditioning was at its maximum, Noah was still sweating. She looked at the clock on the wall, it was already 4am. She went to the window and opened the curtains. There was a marvelous vi

    Noah tipped her hat as the wind picked up. Her flowing hair was a little messy because she had long hair. Not all of her hair was covered by the hat, making it difficult for Noah. She held her hat and hair with both hands. Her gaze lowered, not knowing that someone was nearby. Noah was surprised when the person cleared his throat, scaring her. She was about to move from her seat but someone sitting not far from her pulled out a pocket knife from his pocket, Noah widened her eyes and shook her head slowly."Where are you going, Miss?" The person played with the switchblade in front of Noah. The woman looked around the park, it was quiet. She didn't realize that twilight had passed and turned dim. The park was deserted, there were probably a few people still in the park. Mostly lovers who were busy with their own intimacy. The distance between Noah and the couple was also quite far. Maybe if she screamed, people would ignore her. People would think that Noah was fighting with her boyfri

    "Good morning," greeted William as he approached Noah. He was taking a walk in the park. Little did he know that Noah was already there promoting the new summer edition of the drink. She was doing a photo shoot for this season's cooking magazine. William smiled, while a look of surprise was evident on Noah's face."Hi, why are you here?" Noah asked."Looking for some fresh air," William said."Heem, it's fresh here in the morning. I deliberately chose the morning time when I was offered a photo shoot for this summer drink.""Yes. I like the morning atmosphere here too. The sun is brighter this summer.""You're right," Noah agreed. They engaged in small talk that morning. William deliberately waited for Noah to finish the photo shoot. Then they went for a walk not far from the park. A classic coffee shop with a European feel became their choice to chat.

After all, William was not like those businessmen who liked to look down on models like her."Great performance," William said, clapping his hands as he met Noah in her office."Thank you. You're not home yet?" Noah asked conversationally."Waiting for you. How about I drop you off?" William offered. However, Noah politely declined. She said she would go to her agency's office first before going home. A disappointed William excused himself, a look of sadness and disappointment on his face and in his eyes. This made Noah feel guilty. However, she also didn't want to give William hope. Her heart is still closed to William.The man with thick eyebrows and blue eyes drove his car to his mansion.
