Edward spoke after being silent for a few seconds. "Sorry, I couldn't. I have things to do tomorrow."Dean chuckled. "What? On Sunday?"“Come on, better enjoy your weekend," he added.Edward, who had just started collaborating with Dean, felt reluctant to refuse it. "Okay, I'll go with you."***Leon had told Elena that he couldn't go home tonight because of work. He looked out his bedroom window and saw the cloudy weather. Leon's thoughts immediately turned to Elena. He was worried about his wife. What's more, Elena hasn't replied to the message Leon sent her."It looks like I have to go home for a while to check on Elena's condition," muttered Leon, who immediately left his room.Leon pressed the elevator button, and not long after, the elevator doors opened. Claire was in the elevator alone. They looked at each other, then Claire looked away from her ex-husband.An awkward atmosphere enveloped them. There were only silent glances between the two of them.Seeing Claire, Leon immedia
“Leon, did you hear me?” Elena exclaimed because Leon still didn't make a voice and was silent as if he were daydreaming."No, just forget it. When I go back to work, never leave the house again. Do you understand?" Leon ordered while glancing at Elena.Elena nodded slowly. "Okay, I understand. Sorry for leaving home without your permission."When he got home, Leon told Elena to sit down, and he covered her to keep her warm."Have you eaten?" Leon asked.Elena shook her head. "Not yet," she answered briefly.Without saying another word, Leon walked towards the kitchen. The man cut the vegetables and started preparing the pot. Leon's attitude today towards Elena was as cold as the weather outside, but he apparently really cared about his wife. Leon cooked soup for Elena.During cooking, there was not a single conversation between them. The sound of Leon's footsteps from the kitchen towards the bed filled their ears.Leon shifted the chair with his feet because his hands were full of a
"Okay, I'll order you another drink," said the woman as she stroked Edward's cheek, then left the room.Dean was starting to get drunk, so the woman he was with saw this as an opportunity for him to dig up information. The person Leon suspected was Dean; in fact, he didn't suspect Edward at all.Not long after, another woman came with a drink for Edward. She smiled warmly and handed the drink to Edward.“I ordered a mocktail for you. I hope you like it," said the woman."Thank You." Edward answered briefly and immediately drank the drink.Edward took one sip, but he felt a strange reaction inside him. He held his head while complaining, "I don't know why my head feels heavy.""Are you okay?" The woman took a seat beside Edward while rubbing his shoulder."Don't touch me!" Edward ordered."Sorry." She sighed and looked at her friend. 'It seems like she managed to get information from Dean, but why is it so difficult to get information from this man?' she thought to herself, complaining
Elena shook her head. “No, he's not angry. Don't worry," she replied, shrugging her shoulders.Benji breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad to hear that. You know, I keep thinking about that. I'm really worried that if he got angry with you, I would feel really guilty.”"When I got home, he even cooked soup for me." Elena talked about her husband's sweet treatments while smiling. “He treats me well.”"You are such a lucky wife," Benji responded.Barbara returned to the table with ice cream in her hand. “This ice cream tastes really good; don't you want to eat Elena's ice cream? This is your last day eating ice cream in this office.”Barbara's words made Elena's smile fade. The mention of the last day made her sad.“Stop talking as if this is the last day for me. We can still meet, or you can come to Wellington.”Lady Sofia came to the employee dining room, and her gaze met theirs. She smiled gracefully, and her steps were beautiful, like a model.Barbara is fascinated by Lady Sofia. She
Lady Sofia attended a party that her master was supposed to attend. She came there with her driver. At this party, Dean Romano was also invited.While at the entrance, Lady Sofia stood in front of Dean. The man looked at the beautiful woman standing in front of him. He had never seen her before."Who is she? I've never seen her. She is very beautiful. I have to be able to talk to her," Dean decided to himself.After the doorman finished checking, he let Lady Sofia into the ballroom. Dean's gaze couldn't help but follow Lady Sofia wherever she went.Dean showed his invitation to the doorman. “Please hurry! I have to talk to that woman," Dean ordered the doorman."Okay sir." He checked the invitation from Dean and scanned the man. Everything was fine. "Please, sir, you can come in."Dean stepped into the ballroom and looked for Lady Sofia, who had mingled with the group. He stopped in his tracks while looking around him.Dean saw Lady Sofia taking a drink from the table. Without thinkin
Dean stepped closer to Lady Sofia. He stood in front of Lady Sofia and greeted the other guests who were there. Even though Dean was talking to someone else, his eyes glanced toward Lady Sofia.“Are there many conglomerate heirs coming to this party?” Dean asked."I don't think so. Many families don't have a high enough status to attend this party, and it could be said that you are the heir of the richest family in this city," said the woman who had been chatting with Lady Sofia."I know that the Romano family will soon control the assets of this entire city and even this country. Nothing can stop us," Dean said proudly.When Dean was proud, the woman interrupted Dean's words, making Dean offended.“But aren't the Jensen family still invited to this party? He didn't come, but this beautiful woman is his representative," she replied while looking at Lady Sofia.Lady Sofia smiled faintly. She looked at Dean and nodded faintly. Dean's expression suddenly changed. She looked annoyed."I'v
The clock reads 4 a.m. Leon went to the residence of the owner of the black bracelet together with his subordinates and the police. They would arrest the man and ask him for information.They surrounded a house located on the edge of town. They looked at the man's house and saw a room with lights on the second floor.“I'm sure that's his room. That means he is awake now; we have to be more careful. Maybe he already knows we're coming," said one of the policemen to his friends. They sneaked into the house.After entering the house, there was no one on the first floor. Only silence and the sound of their careful footsteps reached their ears.“Is there no one on this floor?”"It seems so.""Are you sure?"They saw a room not far from there. They walked quietly to reach the room. They opened the door to the room, which was unlocked, and then immediately pointed their guns into the room.The policemen squinted because the room was so dark. They tried to enter the room and felt around the w
Arriving at their new apartment, Leon immediately went to look for a new job, even though he actually went to meet the two women he had ordered.Leon headed to an elite residential area in the city of Wellington. He purposely allowed them to stay there for a while because the place was quite safe. With tight security, Leon wasn't worried about their safety.The taxi driver carrying Leon frowned when he saw the address Leon was going to. Seeing Leon's appearance, which did not reflect someone who was wealthy, shocked the driver.“Sir, is this address correct?” asked the driver."Yes, that's right.""Do you work as a servant there?" The driver's question made Leon silent for a moment as he furrowed his brow."What do you mean?" Leon responded."I mean, you work as a servant there, right? That's why you want to come to that elite residential area? Seeing your appearance is impossible if you are the owner of a house in that area," said the driver with a slightly mocking laugh.Leon closed
