Afraid that Jane would cause trouble for Eugene, although this was unlikely for several reasons, Kalix restrained Eugene to avoid any issues. He embraced her waist and spoke softly by her ear."Don't worry about her now, okay? There's still another time to deal with it, now is our time. I miss you."Hearing Kalix's sweet voice involuntarily melted Eugene's heart. She suppressed her anger, turned, and faced him. Her hands cupped Kalix's cheeks, tapping them lightly, finally compromising."Okay, I'll forget about this issue for tonight, but I'll handle it later if I see her again."Kalix quietly breathed a sigh of relief, stealing a gentle kiss on his lover's lips. Releasing the embrace, he returned to the dining table to continue their dinner.Observing his demeanor, Eugene snorted dissatisfiedly but didn't comment, calmly following Kalix.After dinner, Kalix brought Eugene to her room, unpacking various gifts he bought from Western State. He took out each item he thought suited Eugene
Kalix adjusted his expression, displaying his usual calmness as he explained flawlessly, "Yes, my past life. Before I met you."Eugene narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Kalix. It seemed calculated and meticulous, making Kalix feel a flutter in his heart despite his composed expression."Is that so?" Eugene leaned in, inches away from Kalix's face, their gazes locked."Yes," Kalix replied somewhat stiffly."Alright." Eugene stepped back, pushing Kalix aside, and walked past him. She left Kalix standing there momentarily before following her out of the bathroom.Eugene retrieved clothes from the closet, and Kalix followed suit. Eugene returned to the bathroom, with Kalix trailing behind. When Kalix tried to enter, the bathroom door closed right in front of his face, freezing his expression for a moment.Feeling his partner's anger, Kalix could only sigh deeply. Not wanting to disturb, he decided to use the bathroom in the adjacent room before heading to the kitchen to prepare break
Owen Financial Holdings is gearing up for a new chapter with the relocation of its corporate headquarters. The company's focus is shifting away from overseas, especially the Western State, to fully concentrate on development in Urdanica. Kalix, as the founder and largest shareholder, has planned this move to establish a stronger foundation for the company's future. Today's press conference will be a crucial moment to share the vision and reasons behind this decision. "It looks very handsome," Eugene praised. In front of the mirror, Kalix saw his reflection in a navy blue suit, with Eugene standing beside him, having just helped straighten his tie. Kalix nodded and responded, "You chose it for me, how could I not look handsome?" There was a small laugh, Eugene looked proud and happy. She patted her lover on the shoulder, who looked mature and composed, sometimes making their age difference seem doubtful. "Hopefully, everything goes smoothly. I'll wait for you here for dinner." "M
As a company that has been established for less than 5 years but has successfully ventured into almost every field, Owen Financial Holdings can be said to have a significant presence in the economic and business domain. Not only frequently discussed among new business circles, but it is also a topic of conversation among business veterans and is used as teaching material or an example in related faculties.Domestic economic news is currently buzzing about the return or relocation of the Owen Financial Holdings headquarters, widely known as OFH.Several TV stations highlighted the company’s first press conference, and there were also news forums that broadcasted it live, attracting a considerable audience. It is evident that it’s not just business enthusiasts discussing it, but also many curious individuals from the general public.When Kalix appeared on the screen, many people were surprised, especially when they saw the interaction between him and Sabrina.A few days ago, Kalix’s nam
Kalix didn't stay long there, when the banquet began, he spoke briefly before deciding to leave. Sabrina couldn't accompany him this time due to many things to handle, and Kalix didn't want to complicate things for her.Instead of using the front door, he took the back route to avoid crossing paths with people, especially with many reporters waiting outside for impromptu interviews. Kalix didn't want to reveal too much, especially concerning Dominic's family, as he hadn't secured support as strong as Dominic's family.As Kalix exited through the back door, his secretary greeted him by the car.The car drove away, and indeed, many reporters were still waiting around the building.Before Kalix could relax, he heard his secretary report, "Chief, someone from Dominic's family contacted a while ago."There was a furrow on Kalix's forehead, but his expression remained calm and indifferent. He didn't initially intend to engage directly with Dominic's family so soon, but the other party seeme
It was still 6 p.m. when they finished dinner. Eugene sat in front of the glowing television screen with her cupcake, occasionally glancing towards the balcony where Kalix was talking on the phone. The TV screen didn't interest her, but she had no other entertainment.Her phone rang, and Eugene picked up the flat object from the table. Glancing at the sender's name, her brow furrowed instantly.It was a message from someone she didn't want to think about. Eugene sighed in frustration, ready to toss her phone aside when she heard a familiar voice from behind."What's wrong? Someone bothering you?" She turned to see Kalix approaching, stopping behind her. He raised an eyebrow at Eugene and smiled."Why do you look a bit foolish?""Humph!" Eugene turned her face away, uninterested in what Kalix was doing.Kalix sat beside her, silently observing. His actions made Eugene uneasy, but her expression remained indifferent. If her cheeks weren't flushed, Kalix wouldn't know she felt embarrass
Inside the car, Jane lowered her head to adjust her bracelet, pulling the sleeve down to conceal it. She wore a bracelet identical to Kalix's.In silence, Jane softly inquired, "How have you been lately?"Kalix, uninterested in talking to others, especially Jane, remained silent, ignoring her question.Jane wanted to delve more specifically into Kalix's current situation, particularly his relationship with Eugene. Despite her secrecy, Jane had gathered information through the internet and some people who informed her. Their closeness seemed more than just dating, many speculated they were engaged or even married.Furthermore, Eugene frequently stayed at Kalix's apartment.No matter how pressing it was, Jane suppressed that thought and discussed serious matters with Kalix regarding Mr. Connor, as that's what Kalix wanted to hear about.After discussing work for a quarter of the journey, Kalix closed his eyes for the rest of the trip, disregarding the woman's questions about personal ma
In the midst of the dinner event, Mr. Connor had to step outside to take an important call, leaving Kalix and Jane in the room.Jane shifted her attention to the man across again. He had a handsome yet indifferent face. Her heart raced wildly. Jane never thought she was actually in love with Kalix until now, even though he was the last person she considered.Feelings can be a big joke in life.Jane pursed her lips and smiled.It was a genuine smile today, influenced by the joy from her heart.Kalix didn’t look at Jane at all, but that didn’t mean he didn’t notice. To avoid trouble, he had to be more cautious. So, the change in the woman’s mood didn’t escape his knowledge.Unable to pretend anymore, Kalix set down his fork and said, “I have to leave because there’s something important to attend to. Please convey my regards to...”“No. You can’t just leave like that. Don’t you want to please Mr. Connor?” Jane quickly cut Kalix off.There was a furrow on Kalix’s forehead, but he didn’t c
