The sky is clear and the large buildings lined up in the city can be seen outside the glass. "How's your work?" Carter asked sitting around in his swivel chair. He saw Adamson looking at him indifferently. "They didn't see each other. I lied to your dad about it. I throw the gift and Oliver didn't even see that thing," Adam answered as he put down some files related to their work at the company, "Here are the files I retrieve. " "Good. Make my dad believe that Oliver will just waste his time ignoring his efforts like to turn him off. Dad will be pissed with that kind of attitude," Carter laughs as he imagines his dad being mad at his stepbrother for being ungrateful. He's been spying on his dad these days, he just wants to destroy his plans for Oliver. He is annoyed that Oliver is stealing his dad's attention, and he is also afraid of the time when the public will find out about the man he stepped on was a son of a CEO.

Oliver shared with me about that and he said that it might be the reason why Merideth changed," Adam sat on the chair in front so they could talk properly."What do you mean she changed?" "I mean, it might be the reason why Merideth left Oliver and chose to be with you," he clarified while Carter was still confused. "I don't get it. Merideth changed after her dad got into an accident and then left Oliver for me. Does it mean she's using me but for what?!" He took off his tie because he felt hot even though there was air conditioning. "What if Merideth threatened to marry you to save her dad? You can give them protection so she left Oliver because he has no power unlik

At the bakery. There is staff added inside the bakery shop and at the cafeteria so the work is efficient and fast. They already reached many customers after weeks they opened their business. "Adamson is so busy lately, but he texted me that he can still come here later in the afternoon, we'll just wait for him," said Julie who took over the business while Adamson was away, "Adam is such a workaholic. Does he even get enough rest?" "Yes, he is. He just focuses his mind on working, and running some businesses, he can't think of anything else but work. He hasn't had a girlfriend because he's so busy," Oliver shared as he was taking his lunch, "He's just an anti-romantic Adam, he's not into dating girls. He's a lonely man so I'm just wishing he has some time to date." "Funny. Adam and I are the same. I also don't have some time for dating. I just love to occupy my mind on working to provide my needs," Julie also started eating her lunch, she and Oliver were facing each other at the tab

When Julie went out, she looked for Merideth outside, he wandered around and she was frightened when someone pulled her to the corner. "What are you doing here Merideth? C-can you now remember me?" she asked directly and Merideth nodded. "I can now remember you. I'm also here because we need to talk," Merideth replied and pulled her inside her car. "For what and where are we going?" "Just shut up 'cause I'll find a safe place for us to talk," Julie just followed her and went inside the car and Merideth drove somewhere. Julie was sitting in the other seat just looking at Merideth who looked serious as she drove down the road. He also noticed that Merideth was watching the side mirrors as if she was looking at something. Julie looked back and didn't notice anyone following, "I just ran away from the mansion today," said Merideth, "I'm not allowed to go out but I just want to talk to you today, Julie.""S-sure, I'm just nervous now 'cause you suddenly came without telling me," she wip

Both of them still remember the terror night. They won't forget it but they replaced their nightmares with good memories. They have trauma whenever they pass the park they changed themselves to enjoy it there and believe that the gunmen are no longer there. They always go there after class and the two have a picnic, spending time together. "If you hadn't come that night, I might be dead now," Merideth thanked her friend for saving her from danger."You will survive even if I didn't come that night. I know you are brave enough as a woman Merideth, I know you can protect yourself," Julie smiled, she wiped the tears falling on Merideth's cheeks, "The truth is I'm really weak, I can't fight for myself. I made bad decisions that I didn't think twice about. I'm trying to turn into someone just to act as if I'm strong and independent. The worst thing I ever did is try to kill myself because I don't know what's happening in my life anymore," Merideth poured out her burdens, some problems tha

"Uncle!!" They both stood up and welcome their uncle who came from vacation in the province. "I have something for the two of you," he greeted them while he gave them strawberry jam made from the farm. The old man also sat on the bench so they make space for him so he can sit. "How are you, Merideth? I've heard you're already married," Merideth forced a smile, she didn't want to show that she was crying earlier but it was obvious, her eyes were swollen, "Yes, I've been married to a CEO's son for five months," she answered. "I'm happy for you Meri that you have found someone who will love you truly," Uncle Ben smiled at her, "You married a rich man so I guessed your living your life to the fullest?"

"There's a problem within the company," said Adam when he returned to the bakery shop. He and Oliver were in the cafeteria while Julie had not returned there. "What happened?" Oliver wanted to know."Carter didn't do his part. He let the workers suffer and many workers left the company and the CEO was hot-headed," Adam answered, "Your dad was disappointed in your step-brother. He deserves to be scolded, very arrogant, and mocking other people. Very callous.""Hmm...if workers leave because of mistreatment then they did a good decision. They don't deserve that. While the company should take action to resolve the problems of each worker," Oliver was looking around looking for Julie who hadn't been able to return. "The HR department's new policies suck. When you take sick leave, doctors' statements as oof of sickness aisn'tallowed anymore," Adam showed him a printed paper on the company's policy that he needs to analyze as the CEO assigns him to change the policies. "What?! Are they t

Oliver leaned against the railing of the cruise ship, breathing in the salty sea air. He looked out at the vast expanse of blue before him, feeling a sense of peace wash over him. He had always been drawn to the ocean, to its wildness and its beauty, and it was one of the things that had compelled him to accept his stepbrother's invitation to join them on this journey.As he stood there, lost in his thoughts, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind him. He turned to see his stepbrother, Jack, and Jack's wife, Sarah, walking towards him."Beautiful, isn't it?" Jack said, standing next to Oliver and gazing out at the sea."Yeah," Oliver replied, nodding his head. "It's incredible."Sarah stepped closer to them, a small smile on her face, but Oliver could see the tightness in her jaw, the way her eyes narrowed slightly when she looked at him.

He had been watching it over and over again for hours, trying to figure out if he recognized the person who had tried to burn down their building.Carter, his stepbrother, walked into the room and sat down next to him. "Anything new?" he asked.Oliver shook his head. "I've watched this thing a million times and I still can't make out his face. But I know he's in this building somewhere."Carter leaned forward and looked at the screen. "Maybe we should start asking around, see if anyone saw anything."Oliver sighed. "We've already asked everyone in the building. No one saw anything."Carter crossed his arms. "Well, we can't just give up. Our home was almost burned down. We need to find this guy and make sure he doesn't try anything like this again."Oliver nodded. "I know, I know. It's just frustrating."Carter stood up.
