After getting the pills from Wilson to prevent Melissa from getting pregnant, they bid each other farewell. Wilson left Loren Tower, while Dylan got back into the elevator and went up to the top floor of the building. Dylan tucked the pills into his back pocket, hoping Melissa or Maya wouldn't spot them. Inside the elevator, Dylan wasn't alone; there were four other residents along with him."Are you a new resident at Loren Apartments?" asked a young woman, looking freshly arrived from a minimarket judging by the food bags she was holding.Dylan glanced to his right, carefully observing the woman, then nodded. He hadn't seen her on the VVIP floor of Loren Tower, indicating she was a regular tenant."Yeah. I'm in the middle of moving in," Dylan replied."Nice to meet you, I'm Fresca. I live in Apartment 67 on the 45th floor," Fresca introduced herself, not shy about making acquaintances with Dylan, who was new to her.Dylan raised his right hand and shook Fresca's hand warmly, introd
***Next Day.Last night was unpleasant for Dylan; being intimate with Melissa felt like a betrayal to him. But still, Dylan had to go through with it to prevent any suspicions from growing in Melissa's mind. However, Melissa's response was quite different. She seemed to thoroughly enjoy their time together, even though she dominated the night.Dylan's still injured condition left him unable to take control; Melissa, craving Dylan's body, had to take charge herself. She moved her hips wildly, her long sighs filling the air as her beautiful, smooth white skin glistened in the moonlight. Despite Melissa's unmatched beauty, Dylan couldn't fully enjoy it. Last night might have been the first time Dylan pretended to enjoy intimacy.Today was Sunday, neither Melissa nor Dylan had to go to the office. It was a day off for them. Dylan opened his eyes and glanced to his right. Melissa was peacefully asleep, bare-skinned, just like Dylan.He glanced to the left, checking the time. It was six
***The next day.Yesterday after Melissa returned home from hanging out with her friends. She told Dylan that Robert planned to have a talk with Maya.He was planning to make an investment in Monarch, even though Robert wasn't someone with power at Monarch anymore.Dylan certainly couldn't refuse. He just needed to talk to Maya to determine whether Robert's investment would be accepted by Maya.Later that night, Dylan called Maya. He told Maya that Robert was coming to make an investment, so Dylan asked her to be prepared.Today, Melissa had to return to work as before. The holiday weekend was over and Monday had arrived. Melissa looked ready in a shirt, black suit and knee-length skirt."You look gorgeous," Dylan complimented, seeing Melissa looking beautiful in the outfit.Melissa drew her lip line up, smiling happily with relief when Dylan said so. After she had finished setting up all her things, Melissa walked over to Dylan.She squatted gracefully, her eyes staring ahead as her
The elevator door opened, and several people exited, heading to the floors where they worked. Dylan and Maya stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the top floor of the Monarch building.Maya continued pushing Dylan's wheelchair until they reached the CEO's office. Dylan's eyes fell on Silva, who was already there.She greeted Dylan with a friendly smile, welcoming him to the Monarch CEO's office."Good morning, Mr. Dylan," Silva greeted, trying to make a good impression on Dylan.Dylan nodded, returning Silva's smile with one of his own."Good morning to you too, Silva," Dylan replied."There's something I want to ask you," Dylan said.Silva glanced discreetly at Maya. Maya nodded, allowing Silva to answer Dylan's question."Go ahead, Mr. Dylan," Silva requested."You've been working with Robert for quite some time, right? I want to know what you think of him?" Dylan asked.Maya's secretary looked surprised, her eyes widening. She never expected Dylan to ask such a question."I d
The main problem was easily overcome by Maya. If Robert didn't show good ethics in investing, Maya didn't need to plead with him. Dylan was proud of Maya's decision, something he probably never expected. Right after Robert and Maya's meeting lasted for a few minutes, Dylan's phone immediately rang. The call came in, showing Melissa on the line. Maya's attention shifted to the side, looking at Dylan who was checking his phone, "Who's calling you?" "Melissa," Dylan replied. "What does she want?" Maya asked, curious. "I don't know. I better take her call," Dylan answered. He picked up the call, hearing Melissa's voice loud and clear. "Dylan here," Dylan said. "Dylan! Did you reject the investment from Watson?" Melissa asked, sounding annoyed. "So Robert contacted you right after he was rejected for investment, huh?" Dylan asked. "No. He didn't call me, but his lawyer did. I can't believe it. What's your reason for rejecting our investment?!" Melissa demanded, speaking with fru
***A month later."You're showing good progress in your healing, Mr. Dylan," said the orthopedic doctor, examining Dylan's condition.A month had passed, and Dylan's condition was beginning to show signs of improvement.He had been undergoing a lot of walking therapy with Melissa, precisely one week before today's examination.Now, together with Melissa, they came to the hospital to check Dylan's bone condition.The orthopedic doctor who had treated Dylan in Nashville clearly stated that Dylan could now walk and carry out activities normally.However, the doctor advised Dylan to avoid strenuous activities, like worki
Dylan and Melissa's preparations were complete. They had prepared the dinner menu that would be served to Dylan's family.They said they would come to Dylan's apartment right after their work at Sully was over. However, it was unclear whether they would also bring Maya along.Various types of food were served, and Dylan cooked all of it as he recovered from his illness.Melissa had helped Dylan, but there wasn't much she could do. As for the rest of the cooking and frying, Dylan took care of that by himself.Dylan was still in the kitchen, washing his hands in the sink. Melissa, on the other hand, was near the dining table, trying to tidy up the plates and food."Looks like I have a lot to learn from you, Dylan," Melissa complimented."You'll be able to cook if you get used to it. Practice a lot and don't be afraid to fail," Dylan replied, still washing his hands."I really regret not learning to cook a long time ago. If I had learned earlier, maybe I would have helped you a lot thi
Since Richard and Louis had come to their apartment, Dylan immediately invited the two of them to go to the apartment room on the 50th floor.For Richard and Louis, this was their first time visiting Dylan's apartment.But it was different for Maya. This would be her second time visiting Dylan and Melissa's apartment.Deep in Maya's mind, she could imagine that the place must have been used by Dylan and Melissa to have relations.But Maya tried to banish those negative thoughts by thinking everything Dylan was doing was solely for the success of his second phase plan."Are you still feeling pain, Dylan?" asked Louis.Dylan shook his head, not feeling any pain at all, even when he was cooking."Thank goodness then," Louis replied, responding to Dylan's head gesture."If you're fully recovered, you can go back to Sully to lead them," Richard pleaded."He's just recovering. We'd better wait for next week so that he's 100% fit to return to work," Louis countered."I also agree with Mrs. L
