After Fiona had left for campus, Stephen felt relieved to be alone in the penthouse again. He was exhausted and desperately wanted to sleep, but his thoughts still revolved around his modeling career and his role as the President Director of Magnificent Emerald Group."I hope this is a good start for me," Stephen thought to himself.As he lounged on the sofa, Stephen checked his phone for notifications from his messaging app and call logs. When he saw Keyla Fox's name on his call log, he was surprised and curious about why she had called him. He contemplated asking her directly.Stephen muttered as he perused the list of phone numbers that had contacted him. "What's this? Keyla Fox called me?"He recollected the time on his phone when Keyla had made the call. "I think I was in the shower then!" Stephen said, pressing his index finger and thumb against his chin."I wonder what she needs."Next, Stephen checked his messaging app, but he didn't find any messages from Keyla Fox.Stephen th
Together with William, Stephen made his way through the bustling streets of Rosewind. It didn't take long from his penthouse to the police station.Upon arriving at the parking lot, Stephen entered the spacious and brightly lit lobby of the police station, with high ceilings adorned with modern chandeliers that gave a warm and welcoming atmosphere.There were several seats around the room occupied by several people waiting their turn to be served at the public service counter.At the end of the room, there was a small public courtroom where several people were attending a trial. Several security officers were seen patrolling and maintaining security around the lobby.In the lobby, Stephen was greeted by a police staff who then escorted him to the interrogation room."Welcome to the Rosewind police station, Mr. Stephen," a police officer behind the desk greeted him with a serious look.The police officer began the interrogation process with questions about when Stepehen first met Etta C
After finishing his business at the police station, Stephen went to the Magnificent Emerald Group office. In his luxurious workspace, he monitored the company's progress and checked the stock market of famous companies in Southroses.Accidentally, Stephen saw the stock price of Fun Milk owned by Billy Geoff drop dramatically."Unlucky for you, Billy! You've fallen from grace," Stephen grinned.The cancellation of the partnership between Fun Milk and Magnificent Emerald Group had a significant impact. While strolling around the city, Stephen noticed many restaurants and coffee shops that had previously displayed Fun Milk products had now switched to competitor brands.One of the reasons was due to the public's trust in Magnificent Emerald Group. According to netizens, an international company like Magnificent Emerald Group must have carefully considered decisions before making them. Therefore, the public's trust in the Fun Milk brand had plummeted dramatically.Furthermore, sensitive in
With vigilance, Stephen followed Billy, watching him from a not-too-far distance. Billy, who was moving his wheelchair quickly, unaware that Stephen was following his every move. Stephen began to anxious as Billy headed towards the highway and did not stop at the crosswalk. "Is he insane?" Stephen muttered, feeling worried that Billy would act recklessly and crash into passing vehicles.Stephen's worst fears came true. Billy continued moving towards the highway and stopped in the middle of the road. Coincidentally, at that moment, there was a car speeding towards Billy."Maybe this is the best choice for me," said Billy weakly. He took a deep breath and exhaled. With his eyes closed, Billy was ready to end his life.In such a critical situation, Stephen no longer thought about whether the person sitting in the wheelchair was Billy or someone else. With great speed, he ran and pushed the wheelchair, saving Billy from certain death.Because of Stephen's strength and speed, Billy almost f
Stephen got up from the grass, feeling like he had talked to Billy too much with no results. The brown-haired man was too arrogant and stubborn to accept Stephen's genuine help."Billy, don't blame me for not helping you. I made an offer, but you turned it down," Stephen said coldly."Your life is in your hands. If you're not wise, you'll fall into the same hole many times." Stephen turned around and left Billy alone. It wasn't that he didn't want to walk Billy to his car, but Billy would have refused before Stephen could even get hold of his wheelchair."I spent quite a bit of time with Billy, it turns out," Stephen muttered while looking at his watch. Next, he headed to the Coco Star tavern."Three glasses of hot chocolate," Stephen said to the woman in the black and white apron.Not long after, Stephen's order was ready. He handed the woman three $5 bills and left the shop.Arriving at the black Porsche Panamera, he immediately got in and greeted William."Sorry to keep you waiting,
"Fiona noticed her husband's unusual gaze and asked, "What's wrong with me?" She nervously felt as though time had stood still, and only she could feel the tension from Stephen's passionate gaze. Stephen blinked many times at Fiona's words, admiring her beauty. "Sorry if the way I look at you makes you feel uncomfortable," he said, smiling faintly. Stephen couldn't hide his admiration for Fiona, but he had promised himself not to force marital intimacy upon her. Fiona lowered her face, realizing that she had begun to enjoy Stephen's attention. She had even deliberately dressed up in a new dress from the penthouse wardrobe to welcome him in the afternoon."No," Fiona muttered."No?" Stephen's eyebrows furrowed."I…I allow you to see me, Stephen," Fiona said, trying to smile, but her smile looked stiff."I appreciate it."The two returned to chatting about Fiona's lectures and her work schedule as an assistant professor. Time flew by, and they became friendly and chatted happily on th
Stephen couldn't escape Fiona's beauty. Her oval face with gray eyes and pink lips looked so beautiful. Her slim waist, hugged by a soft dress, was perfect in his arms. The passion in Stephen's heart was growing, demanding to be satisfied."Fiona," Stephen whispered in a soft voice, as if hugging her waist was not enough for him.This sudden incident shocked Fiona and made her freeze. She stared at every detail of the sandalwood-scented blonde man's face, but her face was tense. She didn't know why her body was responding in a way she didn't expect.Stephen knew he wanted to kiss Fiona right then and there. However, before his lips touched hers, he remembered his promise not to rush her into a more intimate touch before she was ready. He pulled back his lips."Sorry, I didn't mean to—" Stephen let go of his grip and took a deep breath to relieve the turmoil of desire within him.As soon as Stephen released Fiona's waist, it was as if her airway widened. Strangely, even though she was r
With her arms folded across her chest, Fiona looked at Stephen. She was still hesitant to accept Stephen's invitation in her heart."Do you not believe in the credibility of Mr. Roy Potter?" asked Stephen, attempting to read Fiona's thoughts.Fiona shook her head immediately. "No! I believe him!""Then why are you still hesitant to accept my invitation to dinner at the golden chamber?" demanded Stephen.Fiona sat in the living room for a long time, considering various possible answers to the questions in her head. Unfortunately, she could not find any of those answers, so she gave up."Okay, fine. I'll come with you." Fiona got up from the couch, and she and Stephen stepped outside the penthouse and into the VIP elevator.Fiona did not speak with Stephen all the way to the golden chamber. After the elevator opened, beautiful maids in black uniforms with white lace bowed their heads, welcoming Stephen and Fiona.The golden chamber's door opened automatically, revealing an empty room. "W
