“The company was perfect before you left to see Mr. Liam, and now everything's all a mess. What did you go there to tell him? Because I know this is only coming from there. There's no doubt about it.”Charlotte's face turned pale, her frustration palpable as she tried to explain. “No, Mom. Nothing of the sort happened. Mr. Liam and I had a peaceful—very peaceful conversation.”“Very peaceful conversation?” Aria repeated, raising an eyebrow as she frowned angrily. “Then what happened? Why are investors pulling out?” “That I don't know,” Charlotte responded, her voice faint.“You better do something fast. This company has been in existence for a long time. I see no reason why investors should be pulling out now.” Aria continued, her frustration palpable. “If there's anything you've to do. Better do them. Because I told you to let Harry go with you but you refused. Now, everything is gone.”Harry stepped forward and for the first time, he opened his mouth to speak, his voice calm but r

Chapter 113The phone rang but ended when there was no response from the other end. “They aren't answering. Where could they be?” He mumbled to himself. He exhaled, “Maybe I should try one more time,” he added.He redialed the number, staring at the screen, waiting for it to be answered. It rang a second time, however, there was no response.Anthony sighed. “I just wanted to inform them that I bought the villa but there's no answer from them.” His mind moved with one possibility. Maybe, they might be busy with something, I'll call back later.”With that, he pocketed his phone before taking his heels toward his room. Once he unlocked the room and entered, he started gathering his things, and not long after, a staff member walked in after a brief knock on the door.“Here to help you gather your things, sir,” he said promptly but respectfully. Anthony raised an eyebrow, gratitude in his voice as he replied. “Please, do. Thanks.”Soon, everything belonging to Anthony was all parked an

Benjamin pulled out a chair for Sarah to sit down before taking his own seat. “Thank you,” Sarah muttered before settling down. “You're welcome,” Benjamin said warmly. He then called out to the barista. “Please, get us two cups of coffee,” he said to the barista before turning to Sarah to ask. “Or is there anything you want him to mix with yours?” She shook her head. “No. Let it be that way.”“Alright,” Benjamin replied. “Please, make sure it is just as natural as she has mentioned.”The barista nodded, taking note of it, and then walked away. As he left, Benjamin shifted slightly on his seat, focusing on Sarah. “He’ll serve us soon,” he said before hesitatingly asking. “But what is a pretty lady like you doing outside so late at night?”Sarah's brows rose. “Came to have some coffee with a friend.” “Oh, that's nice. Isn't she around yet” “He,” Sarah replied, “but I think he might be on his way now.”Benjamin's face twisted into a slight frown, but he smiled softly. “Is he your

“The way you tolerated how Benjamin spoke to you,” Sarah said, her voice faint.Anthony smiled and spoke dismissively. “It was actually nothing. It got nothing on me.” Sarah smiled at him and shifted the subject to a different one. “Let's go and get something over there,” she pointed toward a colorful stall. Before a word could drop from Anthony's mouth, Sarah was pulling him toward the ice cream stall. “Come. We're getting ourselves ice cream,” she stated cheerfully, excitement parting her lips.A small smile played around Anthony's lips as he let her lead him toward the colourful ice cream stall. The aroma of fresh waffle cones and ice cream filled the air. Getting there, Sarah stood in front of the stall with Anthony closely behind her. The vendor looked up, wearing a smile as he greeted them politely.“Good evening ma’am. Good evening, sir.”Anthony only nodded, giving the vendor a gesture of reciprocity while Sarah actually responded. “Good evening,” she said, scanning the menu

Sarah swallowed hard before responding. “Really don't know if it's sensible enough to say it, but I wanted both of us to work together.” Her voice cracked slightly. “Like you joining me in my company, we can probably both share the profit. What do you think?” Anthony raised an eyebrow, his expression soft as he stared at her, utterly surprised. “Really? You want me to work with you in your company and share your profit with you? Why?” Sarah nodded her head, confirming. “Yes. I really don't want you to continue with your driving job. That must have been so stressful for you, which I know, so I'm suggesting you join me on this. I believe together, we can achieve something remarkable.” Anthony's stomach twisted with emotions. He never expected to hear such a wonderful thing from Sarah. It was a thoughtful suggestion. However, Anthony wasn't someone whom Sarah was taking him to be. Jokingly he replied, trying to dodge the offer, instead of rejecting it like it was never a good
