Fire spread rapidly up along the building’s exterior, due to the building's cladding, the external insulation, and the air gap between them which enabled the stack effect. It was the deadliest structural fire in the UK since the Piper Alpha disaster happened in 1988, and the worst UK residential fire happened since World War II.”
When I’m finished, I see Mr. Kruger and his assistant are stunned at where they stand, utterly dumbfounded, taking their time to digest and react.
Before they are going to say a word, I continue, “If there is a fire happening in your residential building, and your residents did not manage to escape, everyone is trapped and burnt alive… How many lives do you t

The next day, as usual, I went to Juicy Punch to get myself a cup of fruit juice, and also to take a look at Daniella, reminding myself of the fact that I am fond of Daniella, not Jamie.After I arrived at the office, I spent the whole morning in Jamie’s office, working at the coffee table next to the window.The time is almost lunch time when somebody suddenly knocks on the door.Jamie remains his eyes on his documents when he mentions, “Come in.”Soon after Jamie answered, the door opened. There, Mila walks into the office with a phone in her hands. She gives me an awkward smile as she proceeds to Jamie’s table.“Good morning

A few seconds later, Justin finally answers the call.“J-Justin.” by his name I called.“Henrietta, how rare it is for you to use Jamie’s intercom.” in an instant, Justin recognized my voice. He then asks chuckling, “What is it? Are you requesting more excitement from me?”I frown, I warn with my tune lowered, “Stop making jokes… Jamie asked for your presence in his office.” and secretly, I whisper to him, sending him a signal, “Quickly come and save me.”As soon as Justin hears me, his voice turns more serious as he asks, “Are you in trouble?”

After Justin and I left Jamie’s office, we proceeded to the basement carpark and got in his Bentley directly. We drove out of the office building immediately to make our horrible lie convincing.While we saw Melonie on our way out. It reminds me of the person Justin and I saw when we came out of the pantry yesterday.Mila said the video clip was sent via email anonymously; clearly the video was taken from the outside of the pantry, and the only person we saw when we came out was her——Melonie Myers.Could she be the one who recorded the video and sent it to the HR department?Yes, it could be, or I’ll even say it must be her, but why? We didn’t even know her until yesterday, why did she

It’s Jamie. He is calling Henry Nosrevi.I let my eyes remain on the phone screen for quite a while, yet my sight gradually loses focus due to the alcohol.Although I am still a little angry about him deciding to accept Dylan Watkins as his potential marriage partner… I think I should answer it, shouldn’t I?I don’t know why, but I want to hear his voice now, so badly.Without trying to figure out the reason for this call, I swipe the green button and pick the phone up.“Hello…”As I answered, I realized my voice sounded so ebrirated. Although it might be

The next morning, right after I bought my juice from Daniella at Juicy Punch, I went straight to Coffee Bloom to get Jamie his favorite breakfast——grape wine lamb and porcini lasagna with a cup of ristretto.Although it’s always the same, I still hope he likes the breakfast I bought for him. Even if I am not looking into a mirror, I know I’ve let a broad grin appear on my face.I bet I look like a little girl who just bought a chocolate for a senior she admires. But who cares, I ain’t going to deny that anyway.However, just as I am walking back to the company building, a scene happening in front of the main entrance causes me to stop my step.Ther

Sun rises up high by the time we are about to go out for lunch. I was ordered to move the car from the basement to the main entrance and wait for Jamie who was caught by a sudden phone call.I am supposed to be inside the car enjoying the air-conditioned indoor environment by now, however, instead of that, I am bending my waist looking into the drain cover next to the car’s tyre.I place one hand holding my long wavy hair to the back to avoid them from veiling my sight as I look down, and another holding a piece of used tissue paper containing bird poo in it.Just a few seconds earlier, before I decided to get down from the car, a crow stopped by and pooped. Its poo dropped and streamed down all the way down the windshield.

That night, after I styled my hair, put on a white T-shirt, a navy blue blazer and trousers, and a pair of brown leather shoes, I drove a red Lexus LS 500 and set off for Jamie’s place.Victor’s friend rented me a red Lexus LS 500 when I went on the last date with Jamie in New York City. I fell in love with the car, and so I bought the same model in the same color. I hope it helps Jamie to recognize me when I arrive.After a few minutes of travel, I finally arrived at Jamie’s place. As instructed by his butler, I stopped the car next to the fountain, just right in front of the main entrance of Peyton Mansion.The sky has completely turned dark, the orange lights around the mansion are lightened up. The water in the fountain reflects the lights as it splashe

That night after we went to the light art exhibition, I sent Jamie back to his place. We stand in front of the fountain as we greet each other.“Thank you for this lovely night, Henry.” said Jamie, giving me a kiss on the lips, “Goodnight.”I can’t help but let a smile appear on my face. Gently, I caress his face with my fingers, “Goodnight.”With a sweet smile, he turns around and walks towards the door, my hand slips down his arm and palm.He turns back to me and gives me one last smile before he walks into the door.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&um

After a few minutes travelling in my red Lexus LS 500, Jamie and I finally arrived at our destination.

The house is fully furnished and renovated. It is ready for people to move in and live in it. I am the architect who designed and built the house, however I haven’t decided what to name it yet.

April 2023. Two years later. It is spring in Chicago again, a time when the florals come back to life again, well so do the people. The warm breeze brings the voile curtains up, allowing the morning sunlight to shower on my white bed through the French windows. That is when I am woken up by the sound of this hectic city. I stand on my balcony in my robe, yawning and stretching my body at the same time. “Good morning, Chicago.” I take a glance at the scenery of the city from the top of this building, I see people and vehicles all over the streets, everyone is ready for work and vac

Air flow, machines, birds chirping, and a woman sobbing… Those are the first things that come into my ear when I gradually return to my consciousness.They sound really vague at first, but turn louder after as I slowly open my eyes too.There, I find myself in a ward bed. My face is covered with an oxygen mask. My arms are surrounded by tubes and wires.And, I see someone burying her head in the bed, holding my hand tightly in hers.“I’ve lost our baby… I can’t lose you too, Henry… Please wake up...” she sobbed.Slowly, I raise my other hand, and lay it on her head. I caress her gently, stroking her hair th

It is almost midnight when I sit in my living room alone, waiting for Jamie’s butler to show up. It is always a quiet night like this that makes people feel lonely, isn’t it? Tears ooze out of my eyes abruptly, they trickle down my face one after another. No matter how many times I wipe them off, no matter how hard I try to stop myself from crying, my tears just won’t stop. I cover my face with my palms to cover my sound, I sob as quietly as I can, not hoping to wake Jamie up. I try to stop myself by clearing my head, yet every quiet moment like this keeps reminding me of the fact that we’ve just lost our child. Our dear child… If you can hear us,

She had been crying for days, she didn’t eat much. She fainted a few times. She became so tired and weak, that the doctor kept her in the hospital for another few days.Tonight, Jamie is just sitting on the bed, sometimes leaning on my shoulder, imagining how different our life would be if everything never happened, how our life would be if we hadn’t lost our child.What gender will it be? Will it be a little princess? How heavy will she weigh when she is born? Will she look more like Jamie or me? What name will we name her? How will we celebrate her first birthday?

A Key to the CEO's Heart Chapter 208: Gone
“Jamie…”Not knowing how much time has passed, I gradually woke up when I heard myself mumbling.I first feel my senses are unblocked, just like when one who sinks in the ocean for a long time gets back up from the water.The next thing I feel... is my body covered in pain, especially my head.“Umm…”Holding the pain back, slowly, I try to open my eyes.It is the moment when I open my eyes again, bright light seeps into my eyes. I squint into the light, my eyes take quite a while to adapt to the light.
