It's impossible if he has to go back to New York, it's not certain that he won't be in a hurry to go to Los Angeles. This trip, which should have been beautiful, has now become a boomerang for Mary.
"Hey, smile. I get scared when I see you like this, or do you want to just go back to New York? "Just take the plane tomorrow morning," said James.
"Just shut up, James! I'm too lazy to talk, you've been talking all the time. Even though there's nothing wrong if I'm lazy, my heart is hard to predict, James. If it were possible to be heartless, maybe I would prefer that!" concluded Mary sarcastically.
In the end, James chose to remain silent and let Mary deal with all the worries that he always glorified.
After fifteen minutes, they arrived at one of the five star hotels in the hero city. Just as his feet got out of the car, his cell phone rang ag

"Ric, wake up," I opened my eyes, it turned out my brother had come home."Let's eat," he said."You guys don't eat there?" I asked."No, come on, after eating, take your medicine," he said.I then went down and approached them, my body really didn't hurt at all, my head which was bandaged didn't even hurt. I sat next to my sister."Sis Nofi and Sis Riko also have permission?" I asked."No, we were only absent in the morning, after that we went out again, coincidentally most of our work was almost finished," he said.We then ate together, after telling a few things, I took the medicine, after taking the medicine, of course the reaction was sleepy. I went straight back to sleep. Since I was sick, I never had any strange dreams, the last dream was when I met Leo. Hopefully this all lasts a long time. I slept for maybe ten hours, when I woke up, the only people in the room were my sister and Riko, they were chatting on the sofa."

My sister and I looked at each other, not long after the nurse came back and this time with the doctor, they looked in a hurry.“Eric, can you talk and sit down?!” said the doctor.I nodded, "Yeah, I don't know either, suddenly when I tried to call my brother and tried to move my legs, everything became possible," I said."Ryan, your sister really experienced an amazing incident. In my time as a doctor there has never been a case like this. On average, if someone falls from the third floor like your sister, rarely anyone survives, even if they do, it takes a very long time to recover. "The coma and critical period alone could last for weeks, not to mention the recovery, I'm amazed by you, Eric," he said."We were also shocked, Doc, I suddenly screamed and sat up, it felt like a dream," said my brother."Okay then, just in case Eric will still have an IV installed, also tomorrow we will first check Eric's internal organs and blood, fasti

A strong longing binds Charlie's soul this afternoon. There was a tightness in his chest when he remembered the image of his wife's face. Actually, this man couldn't be far from Mary, especially since he was still sick. Charlie really needs that figure to accompany him.“How do you become a possessive man? I've never been able to do that before. I really miss you, Mary. "I really wish I had breakfast fed from your soft hands this morning," complained Charlie. Yes, that complaint will never come true, considering Baswraa's attitude of always being resigned to what happened to her marriage.Since the beginning, Charlie has always held the woman he loves in high regard, so it is not surprising that he is the type of man who is often the victim of women's infidelity. Charlie is too patient and easily gives second chances. People think too positively.In the stillness of the afternoon, which had just reached eleven o'clock, Charlie wanted to go back to sitting

“Can you be honest? Actually it did happen, I mean, he wasn't here. But, he has warned me not to talk to you. Yesterday I told him that I talked to you, he got angry. But, it's okay, I don't want our friendship to be damaged. "Let this be our secret, after all it's been a long time since we've greeted each other, so... there's no need to worry about it anymore," said Charlie.Lea smiled, "That's crazy, the retribution for hurting a kind and sincere person like you is endless. But, I still thank God for giving me the opportunity in the past few days to continue talking with you. OK, I'll make the most of this meeting. I'm sure when Mary comes home, everything will change so much, you won't say hello to me anymore, I understand."There was sadness in Charlie's heart seeing Lea's devastated figure, but he couldn't hide this fact. Gradually, Lea will definitely feel strange if Charlie acts coldly towards her later. So, discussing this from the start was also one of t

Roland held back his laughter as he confirmed the sentence in his heart.“As it turns out, it's only natural that you hate Mary. By the way, why are we talking about those two! I forgot, I came here because I wanted to know more about you. "If it's possible, I'd like to ask for your cellphone number," said Roland.James smiled a crooked smile and nodded, she then handed me her cellphone, saying, "Just enter your number, I'll call you later. I don't want you to trap me and give my number to someone else. I've often had male acquaintances like that, most of them are afraid to approach me, so they ask their friends or whoever they think is suitable for me and get my number from that person! Irritating!""Oh yes? How come?" Roland asked, chuckling."I don't know, they don't have confidence because most of their faces and pockets are ugly!" James said casually. She doesn't care if she is considered a materialistic woman, because what she really wants is

Mary was quite worried if Satria took steps to discuss their meeting with Charlie and the other family. Mary just didn't want everyone around her to be in danger. Because, even if Roland is arrested by the police or defeated, the grudge in his heart will not disappear. He just didn't want Evelyn to get the results of what he had reaped so far."Gemi... forgive mommy, son... I hope Gemi is fine there..." said Mary, softly. His eyes looked teary as he stared at the bedroom window. You could say that longing comes too late, just like regret. Previously, she had always ignored Gemi, but now Mary felt how bitter it was to be separated from her beloved child.***Satria was sitting in a cafe not far from Mary's villa, he was staring at the cellphone in his left hand, while his other hand was busy stirring the drink in the glass."So indecisive..." he muttered.He went back and forth to send evidence of the recording and also his meeting with Mary to Bswa

The bedroom door opened, Roland then came in and approached, saying, "You're still sleeping, how are you, dear? Are you feeling better? The feeling, before I left, you were much fitter and more enthusiastic. Are you sick again now?”Roland's words were truly sweet and filled with concern. Mary felt like she wanted to vomit, seeing this, Mary also didn't want to lose and gave her best acting. Mary smiled and shook her head, "It's quite good, it's just that my body is still weak, honey... I still want to rest . By the way, how come you're home already? They said until the afternoon, it's not even afternoon yet, you've only been gone for half an hour.""Yes, that was the case at first, but I thought about it, it's better if I just stay at home to accompany you. I don't want to go far, I'm starting to miss the way it used to be. I'd rather be here and we'd hug each other. You know, this is Bali, the beaches and everywhere are filled with sexy women, but it feels like

Eddie looked out the window of his modest office, the bustling city of Warsaw sprawled beneath him. His company, established with his childhood friend Sam, had grown from a small startup into a moderately successful enterprise specializing in IT solutions. Despite their progress, Eddie knew they were still far from the big leagues.One gray afternoon, Eddie's phone buzzed on his desk, breaking his concentration. It was a message from Sam: "Important meeting at 3 PM. Don’t be late."Eddie glanced at the clock. It was already 2:30 PM. He quickly straightened his tie, grabbed his briefcase, and headed to the conference room. As he entered, he noticed Sam was already there, talking animatedly with a young man who exuded an air of confidence."Eddie, this is Sean," Sam introduced. "Sean Kowalski."Eddie extended his hand. "Nice to meet you, Sean."Sean's handshake was firm, his smile sharp. "The pleasure is mine, Eddie. I’ve heard a lot about your company. Impressive work you’ve been doing

“Eddie, you need to think this through,” his secretary, Lisa, urged as she shuffled through papers on his desk. “Keeping your distance from Agatha might not be the best strategy right now.”Eddie leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. “You don’t understand. I can’t afford to get too close to her, not after everything that’s happened.”“Look, I get it. But you’ve already agreed to help her with her family’s company. If you cut ties now, it’ll look suspicious,” Lisa replied, raising an eyebrow.Eddie sighed heavily. “It was a mistake to agree to that in the first place. I should have never involved myself in her family’s business.”“Eddie, this is a complicated situation. You know Agatha needs your support,” Lisa pressed, her voice steady. “She’s promised to start fresh, to make this work. You can’t just back out.”“Her promises don’t mean anything if it jeopardizes my own company,” Eddie countered, his voice rising slightly. “I have to think about my future, my business. I can’

“Eddie!” Jennifer called out as she stepped into the house, her heart racing.Eddie emerged from the kitchen, looking worn out and a little worried. “You’re back! How was your trip?”“It was beautiful, but… we need to talk,” Jennifer said, struggling to keep her voice steady.“Talk about what?” Eddie asked, leaning against the kitchen counter, sensing the tension in the air.“Andrew… he wants to marry me,” Jennifer blurted out, the words escaping before she could rein them in.Eddie’s brow furrowed. “What? You’ve got to be kidding me. You just got back from a vacation! Why would you even consider that?”“I know it sounds crazy, but he’s serious. He wants me to leave everything and be with him,” she replied, panic rising in her chest.“Leave everything? Jennifer, are you really thinking about this? What about us?” Eddie’s voice rose slightly, betraying his frustration.“I’m not saying I will! I just… I need time to figure things out,” she stammered, trying to make sense of her feelings.

Eddie leaned back in his chair, staring out the window as he waited for Agatha to arrive. The morning sun filtered through the glass, casting shadows across his desk, but the warmth offered little comfort. His mind raced with possibilities, scenarios of how this confrontation would play out. He could almost hear the tension humming in the air, a warning that things were about to get messy.When Agatha finally entered, she was all business, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor. Her expression was calm, but Eddie noticed a flicker of something in her eyes—nervousness, perhaps, or anticipation.“Eddie,” she greeted, her tone cool. “You wanted to see me?”“Have a seat,” he replied, gesturing to the chair across from him. He needed to maintain control, to keep the upper hand in this conversation.Agatha sat down, her posture elegant, but there was a slight tension in her shoulders. “What’s this about?”“Let’s not pretend, Agatha. You know exactly why I wanted to talk to yo

"Eddie, calm down. You're jumping to conclusions." Agatha’s voice was smooth, too smooth for Eddie’s liking. She sat across from him, legs crossed, sipping her tea as if the world wasn’t on fire.Eddie clenched his fists, barely able to control his rising anger. His office felt smaller, suffocating, as if the walls were closing in on him. “Calm down? Agatha, one of my subsidiaries just got shut down for a violation, and it happens to be the one your man, Charles, oversees. You expect me to believe that’s just a coincidence?”Agatha didn’t even flinch. She set her cup down delicately, her sharp eyes meeting his. “I understand your frustration, Eddie. But accusing me without evidence won’t solve your problem. Charles has been nothing but loyal, and whatever happened at that company was not my doing. You’re letting your emotions cloud your judgment.”Eddie’s jaw tightened. “You think this is about emotions? Agatha, I’ve been in this business long enough to know when something stinks. I j

"Jennifer, you need a break. We've both been working nonstop, and honestly, I think a vacation would do us both some good." Andrew's voice was steady but held a hint of concern as they sat across from each other in the quiet corner of a café.Jennifer stirred her coffee absentmindedly, her mind elsewhere. "I don’t know if I’m ready to go anywhere, Andrew. There’s too much going on, and I can’t just leave. Especially with everything at the office." She sighed, the weight of Frank's death still lingering in her voice, even though she had started to heal.Andrew leaned forward, his eyes locking onto hers. "You can't keep burying yourself in work, Jen. It's not healthy. You’ve been carrying a lot on your shoulders, and I get it. But you need to take care of yourself too. Just a few days away. Let’s go somewhere quiet, where you don’t have to think about business or Frank for a while."Jennifer hesitated, chewing her lip. She knew Andrew was right, but the thought of leaving everything beh

“Grace, I need to know exactly what’s going on,” Eddie demanded, pacing around his office. His voice was sharp, filled with frustration. “We can’t afford any more surprises, and this Wilford situation has already cost us enough.”Grace, sitting calmly across from him, nodded. “I understand, Mr. Cameron. I’ve already started pulling reports from the other subsidiaries. But, honestly, I think we need to have a bigger conversation about oversight. This isn’t just about Wilford anymore.”Eddie stopped pacing and turned to face her. “What do you mean?”She handed him a folder. “I’ve been digging, and there are minor discrepancies in a few other subsidiaries as well. It’s not at the level of Wilford, but it’s enough to raise concerns.”Eddie flipped through the documents, his brow furrowing deeper with each page. “How did this happen under my watch? I had systems in place, checks and balances—how did we miss all of this?”Grace gave him a sympathetic look. “Honestly, I think the company has

Eddie sat at his desk, staring at the numbers on the financial report in front of him. His heart sank as he scanned the figures again, hoping he had somehow misread the data. But there was no mistaking it—his company had taken a sharp hit, and the numbers reflected a significant loss.“This doesn’t make sense,” he muttered to himself, furrowing his brow. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed his personal secretary, Grace.Moments later, Grace appeared at the door, clipboard in hand, her face calm as ever. She was always efficient, always on top of everything, and Eddie trusted her implicitly. But today, something felt off, and he needed answers.“Grace,” he said, his voice sharp with urgency. “What’s going on with the numbers? Our revenues have dropped drastically. I need you to dig into this and find out where the problem lies.”Grace nodded, her fingers already flying over her tablet as she pulled up the latest data. “I’ll get to it right away, Mr. Cameron. I’ll have a detailed

Eddie paced back and forth in his office, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had just read Jennifer’s text: *"We’re heading to Aruba. I’ll be fine, Eddie. Don’t worry."* His gut told him something was off, but he didn’t want to overreact—at least not yet.He opened his contacts, his thumb hovering over a few trusted names. Maybe he could ask one of them to keep an eye on Jennifer while she was away. But before he could make a decision, Agatha appeared at the doorway, her presence calm and poised.“Eddie, what’s going on?” Agatha’s voice was smooth, almost soothing. She noticed the tension in his shoulders, the way he clenched his phone like it was the last tether holding him together. Eddie exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair. “Jennifer just texted me. She’s heading to Aruba with Andrew. Something feels… wrong.”Agatha raised an eyebrow, stepping further into the room. “Aruba? With Andrew? That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?” Her voice had a lilt of casualness, a

Andrew watched Jennifer run toward the car, her decision clear as she fumbled with her phone. His face twisted in frustration, his mind racing. He had spent weeks meticulously planning this, gaining her trust, making her think he was her escape. And now, Eddie had ruined everything. His phone buzzed in his pocket, but he ignored it, clenching his fists. Jennifer had already stepped away, halfway across the tarmac, but Andrew wasn’t ready to let this go so easily. With determined steps, he caught up to her, his voice low but urgent as he reached out to grab her arm. "Jennifer, wait."Jennifer stopped, startled, but didn’t turn around immediately. She seemed to wrestle with herself, not quite pulling away from him yet. Andrew took that as a sign to keep going."Just listen to me," Andrew urged, trying to soften his tone. "You don’t have to believe anything Eddie says. He’s trying to confuse you, make you doubt your own decisions."Jennifer shook her head, her voice barely above a whis
