Suzan racked her brains to make her position safe. She still did not want to admit that she had made a mistake. "Oh, Young Master, there seems to be a misunderstanding here! Just now the two of us were gossiping about our clients at the crossing a few days ago." Suzan said with an awkward face.“Right... that's right. Ah, let's put this misunderstanding behind us..." she continued while trying to keep the smile on her face from showing her racing heart. Suzan was very afraid that Henry would give a severe punishment or could end up kick her out from her job.Henry smiled slightly. According to him, Suzan was very good at making up stories and manipulating others. If only she used her skills in speaking for something more useful, maybe Suzan would be a reliable speaker. However, of course Henry already knew this girl's cunning, so it would not be easy to be fooled."Your client is also named Henry and has a wife named Lily? What a coincidence! Then, he also gave you $1000 as a tip? If
Early in the morning, Henry and Lily's room was knocked by Ruri, she informed them that their ship had entered Paradise Island. Lily who opened her eyes first became enthusiastic, because they had arrived at their destination safely.Lily rushed to the toilet to wash her face, after which she changed her clothes from last night with more casual clothes. Lily glanced at Henry briefly who was still sleeping before leaving him. She did not have the heart to wake up her beloved husband who looked very tired."Miss Ruri, come with me to have a look outside." Lily half ran. She couldn't wait to see the natural beauty of Paradise Island that she could only enjoy on the screen before that day."Yes, ma'am." Ruri nodded slowly and then following Lily from behind. Since the incident in the night before, Ruri had given more respect for Lily, because she knew that besides being rich, Lily was also kind, she is totally different from Ruri’s previous clients.Lily ran to the front of the ship, then
"Jo-Johan..." Lily looked surprised to see the figure. It was Johan Morris, Lily's friend from college.Lily's excuse was a little stuttered because she did not expect to meet Johan in that place, because they used to have a quite uneasy past story. Back when they were both in college, Lily and Johan had a romance. At that time, Lily was already close to Henry but because Johan expressed his love first, Lily chose to accept Johan.Not long after, Lily found out that Johan pretended to like her in order to win a bet. Hearing Lily was treated badly by Johan, Henry came to the campus and beat Johan up, making Johan embarrassed because he lost badly to Henry. From that day on, Johan hated Lily and Henry for lowering his self-esteem. Johan seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who had first intended to harm Lily."Why do you look so shocked when you meet me. Do I look so scary in your eyes?" Johan smiled sarcastically. "Oh yeah, I haven't congratulated you on getting married yet. I
Upon arriving at the room, Henry told Lily to immediately lie down on the bed so that she could rest well to recover her condition. Henry was worried that the accident that had just happened to Lily would affect her pregnancy.Lily shook her head softly, "Henry, my condition has getting well. Don't worry too much, 'he' is fine." Lily said while putting on a smile. Lily, who saw that Henry's face had not relaxed, then asked him to come closer."Try holding this, it's getting better isn't it?" Lily asked Henry to palpate her stomach to make sure that nothing happened to her womb.Henry complied with Lily's request, even though he felt unsure, but Henry still tried to believe his wife's words. He just hoped that their 'baby-to-be' was really in good health."Honey, we should postpone our trip to the beach today. I don't want you to get tired." Henry again persuaded his wife to stay in the room, but Lily immediately shook her head."Henry, moments like this are rare. So, I want to spend t
Henry walked away with an angry look on his face, he wasn't going to let Johan put them down like that. The arrogant man had really crossed the line this time, and should receive severe punishment. But, he still waited the best moment to make Johan pay for everything.Lily who saw the anger on her husband's face tried to calm him down. She also said that she was no longer interested in riding the jet ski, and asked Henry to take her to try something else."Honey, I know you really want to go on that jet ski, just relax, we'll find another renter." Henry didn't want to ruin his wife’s happiness, he had to fulfill his wife's wish because Lily was craving.Upon arriving at their Sun Lounger, Henry asked Lily to wait for him there, while he himself would find a solution to the problem they were facing. He didn't want her to walk with him all the time because it would make Lily tired.Lily was reluctant to be left alone because she was worried that Johan would come back to bother her. Howe
Lily and Henry relished every moment of their day at the beach. Having indulged in jet skiing, they decided to satiate their hunger at a local restaurant for lunch. Following their meal, they returned to their spot on the beach, basking in the sun's warm embrace until the late afternoon.As the day was winding down, Henry pointed out the almost dark sky and suggested, "Honey, perhaps we should head back to the hotel and continue our fun tomorrow." He noticed his wife's exhaustion and wanted to ensure she had enough rest for the next day's adventures.As Lily scanned the area, she observed that others were also beginning to depart from the beach and head back to their lodgings. Eventually, she acquiesced to Henry's suggestion, sensing that it was time for them to follow suit.Upon their arrival at their room, Lily decided to freshen up in the bathroom. Shortly after, there was a knock at the door, and Henry promptly answered it."Mr. Henry?" inquired the maid, seeking confirmation of h
If Daniel and Rosaline, who had entered the auction room first, had known that Henry and Lily were getting help from a high-ranking official, Daniel would have been burning with envy and resentment.As Henry and Lily entered the auction room, they were greeted with a sight of many guests already settled in their seats, awaiting the start of the event.The committee's representative approached their group, and upon learning of Sean Kingston's presence, invited him to sit in the front row as one of the honored guests. Meanwhile, Henry and Lily were relegated to the back, to fill in the remaining empty chairs."Mr. Henry, Miss Lily, if you'll excuse me, I believe we should part ways for now. While there are still many things I would like to discuss with you, I must delay it until tomorrow night," Sean Kingston said with a small smile.Lily looked over at Henry, who gave her a nod of agreement, before she turned back to the mayor. Despite being unsure of his true intentions, they couldn't
The invited guests immediately mentioned their prices, as the Master of Ceremony officially started opening the bidding."$110.000!""$120.000!""$150.000!"Within a short span of time, the bidding price had reached $200,000. Johan, who saw that, immediately opened his bid."$250.000!"Of course, the price wasn't finalized yet, as the next second another guest joined in the bidding."$270.000!""$280.000!"Rosaline, who heard the bids from the other guests start to increase drastically, immediately forced Daniel to speak up. She was worried that the dress she loved would fall into someone else's hands."Alright, Honey. It's time for me to step in!" Daniel grasped Rosaline's hand tightly to try and convince her that the dress would still go to them."$300.000!"Just as Daniel mentioned the number, another guest made a higher offer."$310.000!"Johan, on the other hand, didn't want to be left out. He voiced his bid again, which ended up at $400,000.However, the price was still too low.
