"What? Pregnant?" asked Louis.
Louis' eyes widened, rounding wide with a pounding heart. As a woman, she knew very well how it felt when someone was reportedly pregnant.
In contrast to Louis' response, Richard smiled and then laughed loudly, as if the middle-aged man had expected this to happen. The different responses shown by the two persons were confusing for Dylan and Maya.
Dylan glanced at Maya, the woman who was lying down seemed to shrug her shoulders; completely unable to understand the responses Louis and Richard were showing.
"But aren't you married?" asked Louis, looking at Dylan.
Dylan nodded. The man invited Richard and Louis to talk about it on the couch away from Maya, Dylan didn't want the conversation to dist
Dylan's conversation with Richard and Louis finally ended, they agreed to help Dylan in carrying out his revenge plan.Richard will help with the things he can help with, while Louis will make sure all of Dylan's plans have no gaps. In essence, they both made sure that Dylan would carry out the plan well.Maya felt happy, her heart which was previously restless and afraid, now subsided and relieved. Louis no longer suspects Maya, because Dylan explains Maya has nothing to do with Dylan's desire for revenge against Watson.Richard and Louis said goodbye to Dylan. He said that he was going back home because tomorrow they had to attend an important meeting with Sully Corp's officials."Be careful," Dylan said.Richard clea
***Three days later.The female doctor who had treated Maya came back. That morning, she arrived with two nurses; one of whom was seen pushing a metal push table with medicines on it."How are you feeling today, Miss Maya?" the female doctor asked, smiling in greeting with both hands behind her back.Maya nodded, then smiled broadly in return to the friendliness shown by her doctor, "I'm fine."The doctor immediately checked several things on Maya's body, ranging from eyes, heart rate through a stethoscope, to blood pressure.Maya always complied with what the doctor told her, taking medicine regularly and maintaining a good nutrition. As a result of her compliance, she rec
"Congratulations. Miss Maya is indeed pregnant," said the female doctor, older than the previous doctor who examined and treated Maya's anemia.Maya smiled, as they both sat on the chair in front of the doctor's desk. Maya's eyes were teary, shining brightly with happiness as she realized that her and Dylan's child was actually in her stomach.Dylan was just as enthusiastic, hugging her tightly with his eyes focused forward. It seemed that the middle-aged female doctor was still explaining things related to the age of the womb."Young wombs like this are prone to miscarriage. Make sure your wife is always well taken care of, try not to do heavy work," said the female doctor."Okay. I'll do it," Dylan replied."I'll write down
The door to Dylan's office was gently knocked, and he promptly instructed the person outside to come in. The servant nodded obediently, opened the door to Dylan's office, and saw his boss sitting on the sofa, accompanied by Maya and his two guests. The servant's visit to Dylan's office was not without reason. He came with the purpose of bringing the wine as per Dylan's request—the finest wine always available in the house."Do you know Nathan?" Dylan asked Helen.Helen shook her head; she wasn't familiar with the man named Nathan mentioned by Dylan. Dylan smiled, nodding."He's a business associate of mine, as Alfred also acknowledges. Do you remember when I explained the three unwritten agreements among the three families of entrepreneurs?" Dylan asked."Oh, so Nathan is one of them, right?" Helen asked.Dylan cleared his throat, maintaining eye contact with Helen while glancing occasionally at his assistant seated beside her.Unlike Maya, who sat on the long sofa opposite Helen, M
Maya returned to Dylan's study right after telling the servants about Dylan's lunch plans. The servants smiled, nodded obediently, and got to work quickly and deftly.The servants would make the best lunch menu they could. It was rare for them to serve lunch to the house's residents, given that Sullivan ate lunch at the company on weekdays.Although Maya had arrived, she did not hear what Dylan was saying. Dylan explained this while Maya was still downstairs.Maya's arrival distracted people's attention, staring at the woman intently."What's wrong?" Maya asked.Dylan shook his head, smiling as he patted the sofa beside him, asking Maya to take a seat, "Just a casual conversation with Helen.""Oh, I thought there was something," Maya replied, stepping around to reach the long sofa she had been sitting on.Maya reached forward, about to pick up the wine bottle. However, Dylan stopped her.Dylan's hand that held Maya's hand as she took the bottle startled the woman. She turned her head
"I see, huh? When exactly are you going to see Robert?" asked Nathan, staring ahead where Dylan was still standing next to Helen.Dylan held his hands up to his chest, his eyes looking at the fancy watch he always wore. It was 11am, making it impossible for Dylan to go to the Monarch."They're probably on their lunch break. If Helen doesn't mind, we can go after the break," Dylan replied.Helen nodded. After all, it was no problem for her to go with Dylan. There was nothing else for her to do today, nor was Helen's curiosity about the process of selling the shares in Monarch.Out of curiosity, Helen decided to go with Dylan. Helen's assistant had no objection to Helen's wish."After Rockefeller sold their shares to Sullivan,
The motorcade carrying representatives of the entrepreneur's family stopped. The three cars came to a halt when they arrived in front of the Monarch office, where the employees were about to return to work.The arrival of the three of them startled the people inside the lobby of the Monarch office. The employees stopped what they were doing, pausing in their steps with their eyes focused to the side."Who's here?" asked one of the employees.The co-worker next to him seemed to shake his head, not knowing about them at all, "I don't know, maybe they're Mr. Robert's guests."Dylan came out of the car first, followed by Nathan, and finally Helen. All three of them looked well-dressed, had handsome and charming faces, and most importantly, they came from prominent families i
"What? You want to acquire Monarch from me?" Robert asked.Robert's voice was raised at that moment, his serious face looking straight ahead at Dylan. The man didn't expect Dylan to propose something like that."Do you know what is required in a company acquisition?" Robert asked.Before Dylan proposed the acquisition, he had learned a lot about the requirements to offer the acquisition.He had just acquired a large stake from two prominent business families in the country; there were several files that Dylan needed to prepare to apply for the acquisition of Monarch."Did you think I didn't know about it? I knew it long ago, right before I bought the shares from Lawrence and Rockefeller," Dylan revealed.
