AM I RIGHT, CHRIS?
"That guy deserves this," Luna said while holding Christian's hand, gently he patted on Luna's hand, "looks like you're worried about me...." Luna hummed quietly, "I was scared to death thinking you really fell in that bastard's trap." "Why would I?" Christian chuckled, Aurora's eyes reddening with furiousness after looking at Christian and Luna's closeness.Adrian cleared his throat, "it's good to control your possessiveness, if not, that guy will be freaked out, he is too naive!"She just rolled her eyes, Andrew and Kira also slowly went to join Luna and Christian.All the people who are in the waiting hall surrounded by a thick air with tension, the silence was so sharp it felt like it could cut even a glass.The servant threw water on the face of Oliver, while he laid half-conscious on the couch, water dripping from his hair, and Mia sat on the floor beside him, shaking, nervousness evident on her face as all her plan changed out of a sudden.Her dress was thorn with visible ski
WHERE EXACTLY?
••NO POV••"What are you all doing here?"The voice drifted through the dim corridor, calm, and steady, cutting through the rising panic like a clean blade.Everyone turned sharply to see Christian who stood a few steps behind them, hands tucked casually into his pockets, posture composed, suit still perfect and elegant as if he had stepped straight out of a magazine cover instead of a scandal.The servant who had confidently accused him earlier was startled and his face turned pale as if he saw a ghost.Aurora exhaled in quiet relief, "Thank God!" Andrew almost collapsed dramatically, Luna slapped her own forehead.Adrian's eyes narrowed with a knowing smile, "this little one is a magician for real!" Edward’s brows twitched, half worried and half relieved.For a moment, no one dared to speak.Christian stepped closer, his gaze sweeping across every stunned face, and his voice remained soft, but it carried through the hall with razor-sharp clarity."Is something wrong? Why are you
WHY IS SHE HERE?
••NO POV••"What’s wrong now…" He muttered under his breath, his tone was calm but turned alert because of sudden power cut.He blinked in the deep darkness, his gaze shifting toward the doorway and the door was slightly opened.As he adjusted his eyes to the dim light, a figure appeared at the end of the corridor. He could see a woman hesitantly stepping quietly, her perfume heavy in the still air but he felt that perfume was familiar."Mia?" He whispered under his breath, frowning, "why is she here?" Mia looked anxious, and confused. "Oliver? Are you here?" That was all it took, Christian understood everything. Oliver’s strange confidence, the drugged drink, bringing to a place like this, all of it pieced together in an instant. Without another word, Christian stepped to the side, silent as a shadow, and slipped out through the second door, closing it softly behind him. The faint sound of the latch clicking echoed in the silence. Inside, the faint creak of footsteps and
OUR STAR OF THE NIGHT
"Judging by your reaction," Aurora looked at Adrian with a soft expression, "You've became fond of Chris, by any chance, do you want to make him your godson?" Adrian smiled at her faintly, "I don't think I deserve to be a father.... That's why I was deprived of that title long ago...." Those words have a deep meaning and emotional pain hidden as well, Aurora who knew it very well, said, "Forgetting is always hard, that's why people always replace those sad memories with happy memories, same goes to people as well!" He understood what she was trying to say, and in return hummed, "I'll try." While Aurora, Adrian and Edward are having normal conversation, the event night continued in glitter and gold with other employees receiving appreciations and few other awards as well.Soft music drifted through the ballroom, laughter and conversation echoing from every corner, crystal glasses chiming against one another in a celebration that seemed endless.Christian stood near one of the marbl
ISN'T THIS UNUSUAL?
"Mr. Edward," one of the partners said from the corner of the hall, rising from his seat, his tone polite but edged with arrogance, "I have nothing against this young man, but isn’t it a little… premature to call an intern Employee of the Year, when it's just a few monthi?"The sudden voice from the crowd cut through the happiness of everyone like a blade.The air turned heavy, while laughter faded, every head turned toward the man who spoke.Edward’s hand, still resting on the microphone, paused for a second. His composed smile didn’t waver, but his eyes sharpened faintly, the glint of steel beneath calm waters.Another voice joined in to support those earlier words."I agree," said a woman from the opposite table. "He’s talented, yes, we all know that, but the award is meant for full-time employees, isn’t this… unusual?"Luna clenched her jaw in anger, Andrew muttered under his breath, "What’s wrong with these people? Are they jealous of his achievement or what?" "If not that," Ki
AS EXPECTED
“Excuse me, Mr. Chris!” One of the staff called out softly as Christian was checking the lighting settings near the stage. “The guests are being seated for the award segment, we specially escorted all the special guests to their assigned seating.”Christian nodded with a soft smile. “Alright, keep the presentation ready, and make sure the microphones are working perfectly, no disturbances should arise, please be careful.”The man hurried off, and Christian exhaled slowly. “What a headache!” He wasn’t nervous anymore, just restless, the room glittered brighter than before, laughter and gossips echoing through the high ceilings. Everything looked like a dream on the outside, but inside, he couldn’t stop glancing toward the balcony.That uneasiness from earlier refused to leave.It sat quietly under his ribs, a weight he couldn’t even explain.Luna’s voice cut through his thoughts. “Chris!”She hurried up to him, holding a clipboard. “All the executives are ready, Mr. Edward said the a
