"Unhappy with your superiors?""No.""Unhappy with me?""No, I wouldn’t dare." Realizing she had been trapped, she quickly added, "Boss, I…""Not daring to complain doesn’t mean you’re not dissatisfied. Have I ever scolded you?""No.""Harassed you?""No." Her heart skipped a beat, her face burning."Then why avoid me?"Cornering her against the wall, he pressed for an answer.Logan, doesn’t this count as workplace harassment?"Boss, I haven’t been avoiding you." She couldn’t meet his eyes, feeling dizzy, either from lack of oxygen or his proximity.Realizing his actions were inappropriate, Logan finally stepped back.Relieved, Arbesa’s legs almost gave way, but his intense gaze made her stand firm. Luckily, the elevator dinged, opening to save her..."Logan, I… I’ll go ahead." She practically fled.Logan stuffed his hands in his pockets, watching her retreating figure thoughtfully.****Arbesa barely remembered how she got home, only that her legs gave out as she shut the door.The m

At the Blaicher’s house,The table was set with various dishes, a rich dinner spread.The parents had planned to dine out, but their son called, saying he would join them. Abecca Blaicher, back from Paris, hadn’t had a family dinner in a while, so she had the butler prepare dinner, waiting for her son.Despite saying he’d be home by six, it was past eight when Logan finally strolled in."I’m going to be a father."Before Abecca Blaicher could complain, his first words left her stunned.Tom Blaicher quickly regained his composure after the initial shock."Who’s the mother? Why didn’t you bring her?"For years, the couple had been frustrated by their son’s indifference to marriage, leaving them helpless. He wouldn’t date or even entertain the idea, preferring casual encounters at clubs.They had lost hope of having a grandchild, but now he dropped this bombshell, leaving them both astonished.But who was the mother?That was the key question."Yes, who’s the mother?" Abecca Blaicher reg

The wedding of the sole heir of the Lien family was grand. Everyone they knew or had business dealings with received invitations, including the senior managers of the company and the entire secretarial office.Inviting the entire secretarial office might have been unusual, but Logan had his reasons.The secretarial office members felt proud when they received their boss's wedding invitation, boasting about their importance. But seeing the bride shocked them speechless.Could it be?The person marrying the president was Arbesa, the small assistant they often bossed around?So, the president knew everything they did to her?Would tonight's grand wedding feast be their last meal before collective unemployment?Hence, while the wedding venue was filled with joy, the secretarial office table was gloomy.Conversely, the table of close friends near the bride and groom's table was lively and cheerful.This table was reserved for members of the Council of Dawn, even the elderly Justin, with hi

That night at the Dawn Council was filled with laughter and chatter. The three newest members were, of course, the stars of the evening, surrounded by family members and invited guests.Norman, now able to walk on his own, after presenting his gifts, separated from the crowd and sat down on a long sofa, holding a tall crystal wine glass. From afar, he watched the children with a faint, almost invisible smile on his lips.Cratsy, while intermittently looking at the three adorable children, couldn't help but let her eyes follow Norman's figure. Eventually, their eyes met across the room.His handsome face, which had captivated her for years, still stirred her emotions. When his deep black eyes looked at her, she felt something different. It was the first time she had seen him like this, and the toy she was holding to play with the children almost slipped from her hand."Cratsy, come with me," Mrs. Eldor, the hostess of the party, whispered in her ear. She had been standing close by and

His words made Cratsy stop in her tracks, "What do you mean?""My leg has healed, I don't need anyone taking care of me anymore. Between us, no one owes anyone anything."Whether it was saving her life or her persistently caring for him, it all ended in the scheme she had a hand in last night.He despised women who schemed like that.She should never have trapped him, never.No one owes anyone? Did he mean he wanted to kick her out?"Because of last night, you're...""I hate women who use tricks."He had slowly begun to accept her presence, but waking up to the sight of the girl he had tormented last night, he felt a pang of sympathy and started considering living with her harmoniously, maybe even accepting her.But hearing her admit to orchestrating everything filled him with indescribable anger."So, I'm the type you hate the most?"He didn't answer, but his indifferent retreat spoke volumes. He truly despised her, from beginning to end."Norman, no matter how hard I try, you won't
