Heather's steel-blue eyes locked onto Henry, sending deadly gazes his way. A sly smirk formed on her lips as she taunted, "You're crossing your boundaries, Henry?"Her voice was a low, velvety purr that dripped with disdain. "You said you were looking for Caspian, but do I even look like him?" She scoffed and continued, "Please, get the fuck off."With a deep sigh, Heather's face displayed a mixture of anger and dissatisfaction as she turned away from Henry.Yet, he was unable to endure the embarrassment. How could a mere woman dare to scold him, a manager of Beacon Incorporation, a prestigious business empire under Kevin Sentinel?Ignoring Heather's dismissal, Henry signaled his bodyguards to block her path.As she observed the menacing glares in their eyes, she raised an eyebrow in surprise. Just their no-nonsense hairstyles were intimidating enough for her."Our boss is talking to you," one of them growled in a deep baritone voice. "You don't have the right to turn away from him."
Diana let out a frustrated groan as she watched Sylvie's face fall in disappointment. "Hahaha," she chuckled weakly, noticing the hint of disapproval on her friend's face."Ehn, didn't I warn you about him before you got into a relationship with him?" Diana asked with a soft sigh. "And now you're regretting it. It's even worse now that you've experienced it yourself. At least now you can't say I gave you a false impression of him," she added, leaning back and shrugging in disbelief.Sylvie's voice was heavy with sadness as she leaned in closer. "I think I made a huge mistake," she admitted glumly."My father was counting on us getting married if his friend won the mayoral election. And now that Jovan has won, Caspian has shown me his true colors," Sylvie confessed, her words trailing off in sorrow. Emotionally, she had been struggling since the fierce argument with Jenna.Gasping, Diana rolled her eyes around as she searched for the right words to say. "You know what? Just forget ab
Sophia was in complete awe as she entered the luxurious living room of Caspian's mansion. Faux-gold accents adorned the velvet furniture, creating a luxurious atmosphere. The color-changing chandeliers added a dazzling glow to the marble table and Victorian-style chairs for guests.Taking everything in, Sophia felt a comforting chill that brought relief from the sweltering summer. With a friendly smile that exudes warmth, Caspian, lounging in a plush armchair, made the entire room feel cozy and relaxed.But Sophia couldn't help but roll her eyes as Caspian joked about his mansion being a "cheap haven." She knew better than to believe that; this was anything but an expensive structure.Nevertheless, she played along and accepted his offer of chilled wine, champagne, or artisanal juice. The temptation of savoring top-notch wines and champagnes made Sophia's mouth drool, but she opted for artisanal juice instead.Taking a moment to collect herself, Sophia finally spoke up. "Your mansion i
"Your loyalty," Jenna replied softly, disagreement evident in her tone as she brought up Caspian's ex-girlfriend, Sylvie.Caspian remained firm, his words dripping with authority, "Maybe if time could be reversed, I wouldn't change my stance."Jenna couldn't help but taunt him, "You cheated on her with me." Caspian chuckled softly, his words ringing in Jenna's ears as they sat together on the sun lounger. She queried her lips at his use of the term "norms," but she couldn't deny his charm or the growing feelings she had for him.Jenna had a hard time finding the perfect words to express her feelings for Caspian, but she couldn't bring herself to say them. Instead of revealing everything, she left him curious and intrigued, indicating her deepening admiration for him.Caspian was anticipating Jenna to elaborate on her emotions as they sat in silence, both feeling at ease. Her continued silence shocked him, causing him to gasp and move nearer, urging her to explain.Jenna held back, o
"Wait a minute," Adrian said in a soft tone, "aren't you a medical doctor?"Caspian chuckled. "Well, I am a doctor, but not full-time. More like rare-time," he joked.Adrian burst into laughter, thinking Caspian was teasing him.But Caspian's expression turned serious as he affirmed, "No, really. I don't actually work in hospitals."Adrian's concern deepened as he realized Caspian wasn't joking. "I've heard about your skills, though. Please, I beg you to help me. I have only one granddaughter,"Caspian's smile returned. "Trust me, I'll do everything I can to help."Relief washed over Adrian's face as he thanked Caspian gratefully. "When will you be ready? We should go together to the hospital.""Is tomorrow okay?" Caspian replied casually.Adrian's face lit up with relief. "Yes, that would be perfect.”***Henry's hands became clenched into fists while he locked eyes with Frederick, the head of Department at Beacon Incorporation. He felt a mix of confusion and anger as accusations wer
With a jovial laugh, Mr. Rodriguez patted Henry on the shoulder, his wide smile exposing a flawless set of teeth. Henry's lips released a nervous chuckle while he felt uneasy under Mr. Rodriguez's firm grasp. "Hmm. There are a list of charges against you," Mr. Rodriguez said in a low voice, his tone laced with amusement as he glanced at the papers in front of him. "Sexual assault, embezzlement, conspiracy...quite the resume, wouldn't you say?" The mention of Heather's name caused Henry's heart to sink and a wave of panic to engulf him. Henry couldn't believe that Heather had actually pressed charges against him as well. Mr. Rodriguez didn't wait for him to digest the news and carried on. "Of course, we can't forget about your little plan with Caspian to embezzle funds from Kevin's company," Mr. Rodriguez added with a sneer, clearly enjoying every moment of Henry's discomfort. Yet, Henry persisted and gathered every ounce of confidence and authority he had. "So that's what t
Jenna's face lit up with a mix of excitement and satisfaction as she walked into the restaurant. With a widening smile, she made her way to the table, excited to meet Caspian for lunch. Before she had a chance to take a seat, a man's friendly smile and confident strides towards her drew her attention.As he came closer, Jenna raised an eyebrow in curiosity. She had no memory of ever having met this man before. "Hey sir, how may I help you?" she asked, her tone polite yet authoritative.Taking a moment to pause, the man's gaze swept over Jenna's face."You look familiar," he said, taken aback by her stunning appearance.Jenna furrowed her eyebrows, studying him closely."I'm sorry, but I don't believe we've met before," she replied calmly, trying to hide her confusion.Smiling, the man then sat across from Jenna, responding, “Not at all,” Sitting in Caspian's spot with a nonchalant familiarity, he made her feel uneasy."Excuse me," Jenna spoke up after a moment, her voice laced with
Caspian and Jenna's interaction caught Melinda's attention, causing her to clear her throat and watch them with suspicion. She couldn't shake off the uneasiness surrounding their relationship. Sensing Melinda's disapproving stare, Jenna asked sharply, "Is there a problem, Melinda?"With a forced smile, Melinda casually responded, acting as if she hadn't heard Jenna's question. Yet, a blend of dissatisfaction and curiosity stirred inside Jenna. It wasn't like her elder sister to hold back her opinion."Jenna," Melinda spoke up finally, unable to contain her irritation any longer. "You were so certain that Caspian was cheating on Sylvie with you, and now you're claiming he's your boyfriend?"Jenna let out a light chuckle, struggling to find the right words to explain herself. "I was just joking around," she said lamely."You said the other time that it's not funny for someone like Caspian to just leave his girlfriend without any reason....." Melinda chimed in.Interrupting, Jenna turne
