YOU'RE LETTING ME WIN, AREN'T YOU?
"Stubborn man? Is taking care of you, being stubborn?" Christian tilted his head, brows lifting slightly.Rosaline’s lips curled, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Taking care of me or hiding things from me, Mr. Sargent?" She suddenly leaned forward, pushing him back until he was lying against the pillows. "I... I'm not hiding anything from you," he stammered, her hair fell like a curtain around them as she hovered above him."Liar," she whispered, her hot breath brushing his cheek. "Do you know how you’ll be punished for lying?" Christian’s eyes widened, his pulse skipping a beat at her bold move. "Wh… what are you doing, Rose?" His voice cracked, while his hand instinctively went to her wrist, though he didn’t push her away.Rosaline’s smile only deepened as she pinned his hands to the bed. "Don’t you know what I’m doing? Or are you planning to play innocent till I complete everything?" "Rose…" Christian’s throat went dry as he stared up at her unbuttoning his shirt buttons.Th
IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE COMPANY?
"Suspect?" Andrew quietly repeated those words, "To be frank, there are many to suspect, from person to person, name to name, can't settle suspicion with one person." Kira’s eyes flickered with hesitation. "It has to be someone high up. Lower management doesn’t have this kind of access, maybe if we check deep into those lists, we can come to a conclusion about whom to suspect..." That thought twisted something inside Christian’s chest. High up meant someone close to his family, because all of those people in higher up positions weren't someone ordinary or strangers, so all of them were known and trusted by his family for so long.He masked his reaction, nodding firmly instead. "I’ll cross-check the vendor history tomorrow, maybe we can trace the original authorization.... But, I advise till we find something it's best to stay silent, don't inform to anyone for some time." Luna wasn't totally calm at the same time not anxious either, "But Chris, if we hide it for so long, do you kn
THAT ISN'T A CLERICAL ERROR
"Did you say anything?" Christian stared at her with a puzzled face, Rosaline shook her head, "No, nothing... Why don't you come and take some rest?" Christian got up from the laptop, and followed her, "Let's go." "Listening to me, that easily?" "Understanding you girls is too difficult," Christian huffed, "You people will complain if we men don't listen to you, and also will complain even if we don't listen, why exactly should we do?"Rosaline gently twisted Christian's ear, "No need to do anything, just act normal than the way you act sneaky all the time, you men are nothing but too cunning..." "Oh? Then why didn't you marry a woman?" Christian hissed, making her twist his ear a little more, to which Christian yelped, "ahhh, it's painful!" Rosaline raised an eyebrow, "then tell me, will you make fun of me once again?" Christian shook his head with a pout, Rosaline chuckled and let go of his ear, "enough of those dramatics, let's go and take rest." Without arguing further, Chr
YOU TOOK LEAVE?
"Work from home?" Edward on the other side in the call was surprised to hear that from Christian who is a workaholic, while Christian hummed with a tired face, "Yes uncle, Rose's health is not good, I'm taking care of her, right now I can't attend the company, please help me with this..." Edward smiled softly, "That's not a problem at all, take care of your wife, I'll handle everything for you." "No... No," Christian objected to his uncle handling everything, "I'll take care of it, all I need is permission to work from home, that's it." Edward tried to make Christian take proper leave, but since Christian insisted stubbornly, Edward gave up, "Fine, you can work from home, I'll make arrangements for that." "Thanks uncle," Christian grinned happily, and hung up the call.As he went to check on Rosaline, she was sleeping peacefully, without disturbing her, he sat right beside her to check her temperature, since the temperature cooled down, Christian took a breath in relief and went t
DO I LOOK LIKE A CHILD TO YOU?
"You…" Rosaline’s voice trembled as she pressed her weak body against his chest, her arms circling his waist. Her skin burned with fever, yet her words carried warmth that pierced straight through him. "You never disappoint me with your love and care, I will never regret choosing you as my life partner… With you by my side, I've no regrets in this life...." Christian froze for a heartbeat, his heart tingling at her words. The sting behind his eyes threatened to spill into tears, but he bit them back, wrapping his arms around her trembling frame. He buried his face into her hair, inhaling her scent mixed with medicine and fever. "She really chose me.... Me, of all people…" He wanted to say something calm, something reassuring, but all that came out was a choked whisper. "Stop it Rose... Don’t say it like you’re saying goodbye, you’ll be fine and I’ll make sure of it."She laughed weakly, her voice rasping. "You sound like you’re about to fight death itself for me." "I would." His
LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU
"She must be fine," Christian prayed within himself silently standing in front of the guesthouse Rosaline currently staying.The path outside Rosaline’s guesthouse was too quiet. "Why is she staying here rather than being in Valemire's mansion?" Christian mumbled, raising his head and taking a look at the guesthouse to which he reached after receiving the location from Rosaline's mansion, "Is it really serious?" Christian’s usually steady footsteps had turned restless, pacing before the door like a man with no anchor. "Please be safe!" He had dropped everything at the office, ignoring Andrew’s teasing grin and the questions from Kira, Tanya, and Luna. None of that mattered now.What mattered was the voice of Rosaline’s assistant over the phone:"Miss Valemire is sick… and she is resting now, and doesn't want anyone to disturb her."And then, silence.With a deep breath, he got into the guesthouse, the assistant immediately rushed to Christian, "young master, why are you here?""I
