A knock on the door pulled Felix from his thoughts. Felix swiveled in his leather chair, the wheels squeaking against the hardwood floor. A woman peering in with curly dark hair framing her face stood at the doorway. Lines by her eyes showed that she was in her late thirties but that didn't dull her friendly smile. "May I come in?" she asked in a pleasant tone. Felix nodded and she walked inside, closing the door behind her. "My name is Charlotte. I've been your father's personal assistant for many years now." Charlotte smoothed her ivory suit jacket and extended her hand. "It seems I'll be helping you for a while as well."Felix had done a review on her, so he was well-informed. "Sure," he extended his hand and shook hers.She left and returned to her desk, leaving Felix in the room. He decided to start by reviewing the company's current financial statements, budgets, and targets. As expected, it was nothing less than perfect. Though, he knew he had to stay ahead of the game, just

The Porsche car came speeding towards Vito's car in a flash, closing the distance in just a few seconds. Vito leaned forward."Driver, what's the meaning of-" Vito started to say. But before he could finish, the Porsche appeared right behind his car, just inches from the back bumper.Vito's heart jumped into his throat. With a loud screeching of tires, the Porsche swerved right into Vito's lane, cornering him. The front of the Porsche filled Vito's entire windshield view.Vito's breath got stuck in his throat. Time seemed to slow down as Vito just reacted on instinct. He quickly wrenched the steering wheel from the shocked driver's hand slammed on the brakes as hard as he could.Vito's car screeched to a sudden stop, narrowly avoiding a disastrous collision. For a while, it was completely silent except for the pounding in Vito's ears. Through the windshield, Vito saw cold eyes staring at him from the other car. Whatever was about to happen, he had a feeling it wasn't going to be goo

As soon as the call ended, Shadow began again. He pounced with questions. "Mhm, can someone explain what's going on? Jake..." He drawled, giving him sarcastic glances."Ugh!" Jake sighed in irritation. "It's nothing! She's just a friend of Boss's friend," he insisted. But Shadow wasn't having it. "Suuure," Xander drawled, drawing out the word. The others howled with laughter. Felix was dumbstruck, looking at the seven of them as they laughed. This was a side he never knew they had. Who would have thought those stoic bodyguards would actually be this playful and lively? They were now joking and teasing like brothers.Even Jake, who he had been close to never showed this side to him. He was always just stern and ready for action. Their laughter was infectious, and soon, Felix found himself smiling as he watched them.**The car made a sharp turn to the left which revealed a long driveway to the Kim Mansion. Felix looked at the sides and noticed the grapevines were heavy with grapes a

Vito was having his own round of frustration. But even though he knew going against Jericho was a huge game, Felix was way above that game. The mere mention of his father's name was enough to make him shake in fear. So, he had no other choice but to just comply. The next day, he woke up and went through his daily morning routine. At breakfast, he began thinking about how he could get information on the location of the kidnapped girl. Given his close working relationship with Jericho as his manager, it wouldn't be so hard to linger around him. Except that Jericho was not one to divulge secret information without interrogation. He had taken on a few dirty jobs for Jericho, but that was only when directly asked. He took a deep breath and let out a hiss. From the adjacent room, his wife walked out carrying a pan filled with pastries, flashing a smile at him. She set the pan down on the table and took her seat beside Vito. But, he didn't notice her arrival. “Honey, what is tr

The days passed by, and it was already the evening for the gala. Felix exhaled a long, stressful breath, blowing air to his face. He returned home, taking a long shower and reclining against a chair close by. These days have been really tiring and stressful but he knew it was worth it. He watched himself grow from being a lover boy to a business-minded person and there was no going back. He had closed a deal within the space of two days. His eyes shot open as he took short, slow-paced strides to the room adjacent to his, which was Elsa's room. He walked over to her reading desk nearby. “I'm finally bringing you back today,” the corners of his lips wrinkled into a soft smile. He sat down and opened one of the notes which happened to contain business strategies she wrote while she was around. He saw one that caught his eye; the one she wrote about the Gregory's Gala. He recalled how she looked forward to the Unicorn Ball and Gregory's Gala to promote her business as she
