“Nothing.” He had no intention of making his wife worry about it as well. “I just wanted to make sure.” “All right.” Neither of them spoke for a few moments. “Just be patient a little longer,” Robert said. “Once Nadine finishes middle school, I’ll arrange everything. You two can move to Velora, and we’ll live together.” There was a brief silence on the other end. “Are you serious?” “I’ve thought it through.” Her voice brightened. “All right. I’ll wait.” Robert smiled faintly. “Don’t push yourself too hard over there,” she continued. “Your work is important, but don’t forget to rest.” “I know.” “You always say that. You’ll be in trouble if I hear you’ve gotten sick again.” Robert chuckled. “All right. I’ll take better care of myself.” “Good.” They talked a little longer before ending the call. Robert placed his phone on the desk. His faint smile slowly faded as his gaze returned to the message he had received a few minutes earlier. His fingers tapped lightly against th

Eric looked at him for a few moments. “Does every relationship really have to begin with someone confessing their feelings?” “Absolutely. That’s an unbreakable rule.” “Why?” Andreas frowned as though the question itself were strange. “Because if neither of you says anything, how are you supposed to know where you stand?” “Aren’t someone’s actions enough to show how they feel?” “That’s different.” Andreas shook his head. “You can treat her well, and she can do the same for you. But until someone says it, you’re still not in a relationship.” Eric fell silent for a moment. “So you think confessing your feelings automatically makes the relationship official?” “If she says yes, of course.” Andreas looked at him in bewilderment. “How exactly did you think people started dating?” Eric chuckled. “I was just asking.” Andreas shook his head helplessly. “Sit down. Sit down.” Eric pulled out a chair and sat. Andreas adopted a serious expression, gesturing with both hands. “Since th

Dominic fell silent.Three pairs of eyes watched him, waiting for an answer. But instead of answering Eric’s question, Dominic let out a sigh.“Don’t ask me something like that. How could I leave my current job? It’s my only source of income.”“How much do you make now?”“Fifteen hundred dollars.” Dominic paused. “I recently got a hundred-dollar raise. They said I was doing a good job.”Eric straightened the spoon beside his plate.“Do you want to go to college or not?”Dominic frowned. “You keep asking that. Are you planning to pay for my education?”“Why not?”Dominic fell silent.He had thought Eric was merely teasing him. However, there was not the slightest hint of a joke in Eric’s expression.“Don’t joke about something like this. I might actually take you seriously.”“I am serious.” Eric smiled faintly. “How about this? My company will give you a scholarship. In return, you’ll have to work for my company after you graduate.”Dominic looked even more surprised.“But—”Eric raise

After speaking with several guests, Eric finally had a moment to breathe.However, before he could leave, someone was already walking toward him.“All your hard work has finally paid off.”Eric turned.Xavia stood before him with a faint smile.“Congratulations.”“Thank you.”Xavia’s gaze briefly dropped to Eric’s shoulder. She then opened her small purse and took out a handkerchief.“There’s a small stain on your suit.”Eric followed her gaze and only then noticed it.“Oh, good thing you saw it.” He accepted the handkerchief and cleaned the stain from his suit.Xavia merely smiled as she watched him.“Thank you.” Eric returned the handkerchief.Xavia nodded slightly before placing it back in her purse.Not far away, Andreas and Dominic noticed the two of them and began speaking quietly while occasionally laughing.Xavia looked back at Eric.“So, what am I supposed to call you from now on? Mr. Brown, Mr. Eric, or Young Master?”Eric smiled faintly. “Call me whatever you like, as long

Not long after Eric took his seat in the front row, the opening ceremony finally began.An emcee stepped onto the stage and welcomed all the guests in attendance. After a brief introduction, the mayor of Oxfield was invited to deliver a short address before Robert’s name was called.Applause sounded once again.Robert rose from his seat and walked toward the stage.As the company’s president, he had overseen nearly the entire process of establishing the company over the past month. He thanked everyone who had helped, then briefly explained the company’s direction and its plans once operations officially began.However, not all the attention was focused on him.From time to time, several pairs of eyes shifted toward the front row.Eric sat calmly among the other shareholders.Among the businesspeople, government officials, and pharmaceutical industry figures filling the venue, he looked remarkably young.“Is that Eric Brown?”“Yes.”“He’s so young.”Most of the people attending already

One month passed.In that short time, many things had changed.The pharmaceutical company that had existed only as a plan on a table one month earlier had now been established.The headquarters in Oriville had begun operating two weeks earlier. Rather than constructing a new building from the ground up, they purchased an existing property and renovated it to suit their needs. Most of the company’s administrative and management affairs were now handled there, while its main production facility was located in Oxfield.Robert had kept his word.With the support of the twelve families, many things that should have taken months were completed far more quickly. Specialists were brought in, supplier networks were established, distribution channels were prepared, and the facility they had acquired in Oxfield was renovated and adapted to meet their production requirements.Eric himself was not heavily involved in any of it.Over the past month, he had spent most of his time refining the formul
