Today was important for all the employees at Pegasus Enterprise because the new chairman was arriving for the first time today. As a result, every security officer was resolved to make sure everything was in order.

 The security guard had a shocked expression on his face when he saw what happened. As soon as he saw the bleeding car driver he recognized him as the son of Pegasus Enterprise general manager, Mark Collins 

 “Sir Mark, are you alright?” in a concerned tone the guards hurriedly rushed to help Mark get back to his feet.

 “Where the hell have you idiot been?” Mark groaned while covering his bleeding nose.

 Being scolded by Mark made The security guard frown. He fixed his furious gaze at Chris, seeing how poorly dressed he was in cheap outfits gave the security officer the free pass to look down on him and shouted, “What do you think you’re doing? How dare you cause a ruckus on Pegasus Enterprise ground?! Apologize to sir, Mark right this instant?”

 “Shouldn't you be asking me what happened before judging who's at fault?” Chris remarked.

 “I don't have to waste my time asking such a useless question. It is clearly obvious that you assaulted sir, mark first.” The security guards ignorantly lashed out at Chris as he was obviously making a biased judgment by taking Mark's side. Why did you have to come on a day like this to cause a ruckus.” He lamented.

 Mark pointed at Chris. “ I suspect that this man has sinister thoughts and is here to intentionally cause trouble for us today. I hope the security department will fulfill its duties. Otherwise, don’t blame me for docking your salary! Also, the newly appointed chairman of the company will be coming to the office today. If you don’t receive him properly, you’ll lose more than just your salary. Do you understand?”

 After all, Mark was the head of the Human Resource department of the Pegasus Enterprise and the general manager's son as well so he had a significant amount of authority.

 The security officer knew that this was a serious matter as well. Looking at the burly and tall Chris, he was worried that he might not be able to stop him alone, so he hurriedly reported the situation over his radio. Soon, the captain of the security team made his way over with more than ten fully-armed security officers.

 “Hmph!” Mark raised his chin smugly at Chris. “I told you that I was going to make you regret hitting me.” 

 At that moment, his cellphone began ringing and he hurriedly picked it up when he saw it was his father, the general manager calling him.. “Hello father,”

 “Brat! Where the hell are you right now? I just got word that the CEO would be arriving in five minutes. I told you to arrive early today. “

 “Dad, I've already arrived but I got assaulted at the parking lot.” Mark lamented 

 “What?!.....Which bastard dare to lay a hand on you on the company ground?! Are you alright?!” the general manager asked in a frantic voice. “Where are the security officers?”

 “I'm just bleeding in the nose and the security guards just arrived. They are going to take care of him so I'll be heading inside now.” Mark explained.

 “Good, tell them to break that bastard leges and arms.” 

 Mark hung up the call. “It's a shame I won't be able to watch you get beat up.” He said sneering at Chris. “I'll leave him to you. The CEO would soon arrive so get rid of him before then!” He instructed before walking away into the building.

 “Sir, I'm going to ask you to leave now or will be forced to throw you out of the premises.”. the head of security addressed Chris in a stern voice.

 “I can’t leave because I still have unfinished business here. Besides, none of you have the authority to throw me out.’

 The head of security officers laughed. “A pauper like you can’t possibly be here at the Pegasus Enterprise to sign a contract. It would be wise for you to comply with our terms or don't blame us for using violence against you.”

 Chris snorted coldly. “It seems like my expectations of Pegasus Enterprise were too high after all. This place is filled with many fools that need to be educated.”

 “What did you say?!” Hearing Chris' words, the head of security flew into a rage and waved his hand at the security officers around him. “You dare insult Pegasus Enterprise. Since you are tired of living l, I'll make sure to give you the education you deserve. Hit this arrogant bastard and throw him out!!”

 The security officers immediately surrounded Chris 

 At this moment, a shining brown Bentley sedan car drove into the parking lot. The security guards' hearts skidded as this car was the designated vehicle that was assigned to transport the new CEO to the company.

 Shortly afterward, the intimidating figure of a young man stepped out of the vehicle.

 The security guards quickly recognized this man as the new CEO of Pegasus Enterprise, Elliot Brown, whose arrival they had all been expecting. 

 All the guards at the parking lot abandoned Chris and bowed their heads to greet Elliot. “Welcome to Pegasus Enterprise, Mr. Brown. We have been expecting your arrival sir.

 When Elliot saw the group of people bowing in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Chris but no one could see the shock in his eyes since he was wearing sunshades. Ignoring the security guards, he directly walked towards the group in hurried steps with his gaze fixed on Chris.

 As soon as he arrived in front of Chris, he took off his glasses and bowed deeply. “Mr. Chairman, you are already here. Forgive me for my tardiness. I should have arrived here before you and should be the one welcoming you instead.” he said in an apologetic tone.

    Ethan, who had been waiting by the car, caught sight of her vehicle disappearing into the distance. “Let's head to Cross Corporation.” Chris said As soon as he stepped into the car. Ethan turned to him. "Sir, I just saw the madam's car." Chris’s gaze snapped toward him. "Where?" "She just drove past the hotel. She saw you with Emma." Chris’s brows furrowed. "Follow her." Ethan immediately started the car and pulled out into traffic, but the city’s congestion worked against them. Within minutes, they lost her. Chris clenched his jaw, irritation flickering in his sharp eyes. "Head straight to the mansion," he ordered, hoping she had gone home. But when they arrived, Eva was nowhere to be found but Kate and Bruce were in the house. “You are back home early today?” Kate said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. Chris ignored her nagging. “Isn't Eva home yet?” “No, she is probably still at work. Do you think everyone is as jobless and irresponsible as you? Kate retorted. For

    About an hour ago, Chris leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished desk of Pegasus Enterprise. The floor-to-ceiling windows of his office reflected the golden hues of the late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the luxurious space. He had just finished reviewing a high-profile acquisition deal, but his mind was elsewhere. Eva. He knew he had failed to pick her up the previous evening. It was a minor misstep, but one he didn’t want to repeat. Their relationship was a delicate balance—one he wasn’t willing to tip over. He glanced at his watch. There was still time before Eva was scheduled to leave the Carter estate, but there was another obligation he had to tend to first. Standing, Chris grabbed his suit jacket and slipped it on with effortless precision. "Ethan," he called as he stepped out of his office. Ethan, who had been waiting outside, straightened immediately. "Sir?" "Prepare the car. I’m stopping by the hotel before he

    A few murmurs of agreement rippled through the room. Eva’s gaze sharpened, already sensing Eric’s intention to undermine her. She exhaled slowly, keeping her voice calm yet firm. "I find it amusing that you’re concerned about punctuality when this very meeting was only possible because of the business deals I secured for this family. Or would you prefer to discuss the countless contracts I’ve personally overseen that have elevated the Carter name?" Eric’s smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, but he quickly recovered. "Of course, we acknowledge your contributions. But it isn’t enough. You still have many other responsibilities to the family and as head you need to set an example." Eva folded her arms. "Oh? Do enlighten me." Eric leaned forward, his gaze gleaming with false sincerity. " You know this would have been much easier if you didn't have to drive all the way here.Why don’t you relocate the Carter family to your current mansion? It’s extravagant and more than spacious

    Back in her room, Eva leaned against the door, her hands balled into fists. She groaned in embarrassment, not sure about what she just did. Her mind was a storm of emotions—confusion, frustration, pain. The sight of that lipstick stain haunted her. Her stomach twisted at the mere thought of Chris with another woman. She had spent the entire day yearning for his presence, regretting how she had treated him… only to now be met with something that shattered her fragile resolve. Was she really being foolish? Had she been longing for someone who had already moved on? She shut her eyes, inhaling sharply. This feeling—this uneasiness gnawing at her—was unbearable. But there was nothing she could do about it. Not right now. As the night deepened, Eva lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her heart aching with emotions she didn’t know how to handle. And Chris, on the other side of the mansion, was just as restless—completely unaware of the storm brewing in Eva’s heart. T

    “Where have you been all day, Chris?” Kate’s voice rang through the house. “Do you even know what time it is? You think that you can. Just come and go as you please” Chris’s voice was calm, composed. “I had things to take care of, Mother.” “Oh, so you disappear for days, come back whenever you please, and don’t even think to explain?” “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Kate scoffed. “Do you even care about this family? About Eva?” Eva clenched her fists. Why did Mom always have to bring me into everything? Chris remained patient. “I do care, Mother. But I had no choice. I had something important to handle.” Kate exhaled sharply. “You better not bring trouble to this house, Christopher.” Chris didn’t respond. He quietly climbed the stairs. Then came the sound of footsteps. Eva barely had time to react before she noticed Chris making his way up the stairs. Her heart pounded. Would he come to her room? Would he apologize? But instead, he walked straight past her

    The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the Cross Corporation building in a soft glow as employees exited the towering glass structure in waves. Eva Carter stepped through the revolving doors, her heart pounding with quiet anticipation. Her gaze instinctively swept across the bustling street, searching for the familiar sleek black car that Chris always parked near the curb. But he wasn’t there. She frowned, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly. Maybe he’s running late. It wouldn’t be the first time Chris had kept her waiting due to work, but he always showed up. Always. Minutes ticked by. First five. Then ten. The occasional rush of a car passing by barely distracted her from the growing tightness in her chest. She took a deep breath, pushing away the creeping unease that threatened to settle. He’ll come. He has to. But when thirty minutes passed with no sign of him, the bitter taste of disappointment curled on her tongue. She felt like a fool standing there, waiting. No ca
