"Take a seat," Sarah said, slowly pulling away from Melissa.Melissa swallowed the embarrassment that threatened to flush her cheeks and neck. Then, she stood up and dusted off her knees before she walked back towards the couch.Sarah slowly poured in her glass halfway before she carried the two glasses towards the couch and set on the coffee table close to Melissa.Melissa looked down at it, then back at the woman in front of her."You know why I am here," she started, her voice low, almost reverent. Like kneeling and crawling for a woman she had met countless times as nothing but a mere secretary had killed a pride in her that she didn't even realize existed."Yes. Of course. Why else would I go through the trouble of bringing you here?"Melissa nodded slowly. "Then I need to know why you are doing this too. If you hate Amelia despite everyone else raving about how nice a boss she is, then I need to know why. I need to know why I can trust you. I have been betrayed one too many time
Chapter 114
Coulter had changed into a comfortable pair of black loose pants and a white loose shirt, his hair a little damp like he had just come out of his own shower too.He was standing by the large flower vase in the sitting room, his hands tucked into his pockets, his eyes thin as he watched nothing in particular. The tablet was completely gone now, almost like he didn't want the trace of it anywhere close to Amelia.And maybe he didn't. His world may be all diamonds and super cars, but it was also enemies and conspiracies that a heart like Amelia's might not be able to take. Or maybe it could, and with the video he had seen of her mother, he just wanted to make sure she didn't have to.The small ding sound of the elevator caused him to turn back, just as the doors opened and Amelia stepped out.With no clothes in the massive walk in closet for a woman, she had changed into one of Coulter's white button down shirt that rested a little below her thighs, her hair let loose down in a slightly

Amelia stirred, her hands immediately reaching out to the side of the bed where she knew Coulter would be. It was warm, obviously having carried the weight of his body and his scent through the night, but it was empty. Her eyes immediately flew open, and she sat up, her lips parting.The drip that had been connected to Coulter's arm was now lying on the edge of the bed, discarded. The computer for his vitals was off, the oxygen mask that he never wore back after removing it last night lay on the floor, too.Alarm bells immediately went off in Amelia's bead, and she quickly got out of bed and ran out to the sitting room, her heart pounding fast and hard.She took the private elevator down, her phone clutched in her hand and ready to call Ian if she didn't find Coulter. Her heart pounded as the elevator stopped, and the doors slowly opened. She stepped out, her eyes sweeping around the massive sitting room.To her surprise and relief, Coulter was sitting on the large couch, his back re

Melissa closed her eyes as the hot shower pelted down on her back. Her mind was to clean between two places, the voice on the phone from last night, and the photo of NS plastered on the news announcing the Singapore expansion. She let out a small sigh as she pushed her hair to the back, her eyes slowly opening. Everything her self-preservation instinct and just her general distrust of people kicked in, she remembered the Singapore expansion and how Amelia's name was now spoken in places she had only dreamed of.And that was why she was here at the very first ray of sun, preparing to go and see if there was any genuine trace to the man or woman who had so confidently told her they had carved a path for her.Would the path lead to Coulter? To the sort of money that NS now had? She didn't mind either, to be honest. So, for today, every thought of rationality took a back seat.She dressed slowly, her eyes darting towards her pgone occasionally. There was only a simple plate number and t

Amelia settled on the dining chair that Ian had carefully drawn out. The table was spread with simple yet filling dishes, a single bucket of wine resting on the side.Ian took the seat opposite and watched as Amelia picked up her cutlery, and then slowly set it back."I am still a little angry."Ian nodded slowly. "I know. All the more reasons why you should eat more so you can have the strength to punch me in the face."Amelia rolled her eyes, then grabbed the cutlery again. "I can't believe I barely know the man I claim to love."Ian popped a piece into his mouth and chewed slowly. "You do know him. A lot. I think you have seen him at his most unguarded. He just... kept a few things away. We all have a few secrets, don't we?"Amelia thinned her eyes at Ian. "Do you?""Not from him, no. He will find out either way. It is very hard to keep a secret from him."Amelia chuckled. "He is observant. Very."Ian slowly nodded again. They fell into comfortable silence that was only punctuated
Chapter 110
For a long moment, it seemed like the air had been sucked right out of the room. Amelia's fingers that had been holding on to Coulter's slowly loosened, and her eyes went blank. Almost like seeing her emotions washed out in one second.Coulter almost regretted telling her. She would be right if she walked out right now. If she wanted nothing to do with the man who directly caused her suffering, and only salvaged it because of a chance encounter.If not for Melissa's nonsense, Coulter would have never known that Ian's earnestness had cost an exceptional woman like Amelia to lose her entire hard work. Neither would have been there for when those men dragged her to that path.He closed his eyes and swallowed, then opened them again, as if it would somehow help. As if it would reset everything to when she looked at him like he was a whole gift.Amelia suddenly broke into a laugh, then shook her head as she finally let go of Coulter's hand. "You are joking, right? You... you can't do that
