At the entrance of Suntec International Inc. As Rebecca and Loraine were walking out from the entrance, a motorbike suddenly drove past and the passenger on the bike snatched the gift pouch in Loraine's hand away. Loraine was shocked, and she started screaming, "Help! Robbery! Stop the motorbike in front!" At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz motorbike came and stopped in front of them both. The person said to Rebecca, "Get on!" "Miss, no," Loraine held her hand and said cautiously. Bellamy smiled and said to them, "You could follow at your own pace." He accelerated and disappeared out of sight in just a few seconds. It didn't take long for him to catch the culprit, and he stopped at approximately ten meters in front of them. He went forward and gave the motorbike a kick, and the rider immediately fell to the floor. The pillion passenger was more alert, hence, he was managed to keep his balance. Bellamy went forward to him. Meanwhile,
"Okay," Stella responded. "By the way, what do you think about the Minister of Finance vacancy? A lot of people are interested in this position, and I think that it is unlikely to stay vacant for too long, at most until the beginning of New Year. What do you think?" Bellamy continued to ask. Stella paused and her expression became serious. She stared at Bellamy and answered, "The position will usually open for election because they are too many candidates competing for it. Hence, it won't be guaranteed that it could be filled up by someone from our side. I wanted to have a discussion with you regarding this matter. I was thinking of creating some problems, but..." Stella paused on second thought. "But what?" Bellamy asked. "Although we had defeated Christian Saltzman successfully because of what had happened to Allen last time, I am afraid that we will jeopardize the reputation of A Country and cause the currency to drop if we were to cause another big
He kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and it tasted salty. Stella slowly began to feel better as she asked, "What's the time now?" Bellamy looked at the watch on his wrist and said to her, "It's 8.10 p.m. right now. Are you feeling hungry?" Stella nodded, "I'll ask Lynette to send the food in here. Do you want to hide somewhere first?" "No problem." Stella then called Lynette. "Madam, are you feeling hungry? I'll prepare the food right now," Lynette answered. "Yes. Please prepare a bigger portion." Lynette smiled and understood what she meant. After that, she hung up the call and went to prepare a sufficient amount of food. She knocked on the door before entering the library. Stella opened the door. "Madam, here's your dinner. I will bring the test papers that I have read for you later, and I have already categorized them to your liking. I will also bring some with me later when I leave, I think I'll be able to do a
She held a few stones in her hand at once, and she threw them away one by one. She did it as though she was throwing her anger away. Why was she even angry? She knew that she was a few years older and not as good-looking as Yvonne even with makeup on. Sean was just stating the truth. "How about I ask the makeup artist to teach you some techniques later?" Sean said. Eli glanced at him and answered, "Why do I have to be so pretty for? My future husband would be worried if I were to attract unnecessary attention from those unnecessary people." Sean frowned. "Are you trying to upset me on purpose?" "I have nothing to say to you since we are on different levels. It's really difficult to communicate with each other when we don't even get each other," Eli said as she threw all the stones in her hand away. After that, she clapped her hands and said, "Are we leaving now?" Sean held her hand tightly and said, "You know that I like making jokes. Are you
"You saved the universe in your last life. So, don't thank me. Thank the universe." Eli was speechless. Yvonne covered her mouth and laughed, "Both of you are so funny. So, what did I do in my last life then?" "You are the universe," Eli said to her. Yvonne burst out laughing to tears. Sean put down his cutlery and said to Eli, "Alright, we will leave in five. You should wear a jacket. The weather forecast said that it would be cold today." "Could I move my computer to your office since you have a meeting in the morning? There are a lot of important documents in your office computer, and I am afraid that I would delete some by accident," Eli asked him inaudibly. "Follow me later, I will bring you around the Cabinet," Yvonne said to her. "The Cabinet? But I want to level-up my character since they will be fixing the bug in the game tomorrow," Eli rejected her politely. Yvonne looked at Sean. She was once again surprised by
"I am just doing what I should be doing. These things must be settled quickly, or else we will lose our window of opportunity. I am sure that you know our opponents will not leave us any room for mistakes," Sean reminded him. "Yes, I will make the arrangements immediately. By the way, your meeting starts at 9 a.m." "Okay," Sean answered and looked at Yvonne. Yvonne nodded with a smile and said to Eli, "Follow me." Eli walked toward Yvonne and turned to look at Sean before leaving. He was also looking at her, smiling. There were times where Eli couldn't understand what Sean was talking about. Why did Secretary Parker say that he had better foresight than his father just because he wanted to meet the entrepreneurs? He seemed to be so different from the young wild boy whom she knew from before. He seemed to be more mature, sophisticated, and shrewd. She felt as though he had truly transitioned from a boy to a man. She had a st
She recalled her past with Stella. They had gone to the same hospital for their internship, and they naturally grew close to each other because they were both new to the environment. Stella was naturally distant, and thus there wasn't much interaction between them. There was once, towards the end of the semester when Eli had caught a cold. She was nauseous for the entire day and she couldn't complete her thesis. She thought that she was screwed. However, she never expected that Stella would complete and submit her thesis for her. She had always been a person who cherished acts of service. Ever since then, she got closer to Stella and both of them became close friends. If it weren't because of what had happened to her mother, Stella would still be her best friend. Unfortunately, there were no ifs, and her mother would not come back from the dead. Stella was already so ahead in life, and Eli felt that both of them were living in two different
She thought that it was impossible just by listening to it. "I wouldn't be here if I knew how to do all those things. Please let me go. I am so tired and I just want to take a nap," Eli yawned. Yvonne sighed. "Alright, you can take it slow then. By the way, Sean is still in the meeting now. Would you like to come over to my room? You can rest there," Yvonne offered. "Thank you, Mrs. President. You are the best! Let's go!" Eli urged as she held Yvonne's arm. Yvonne smiled and brought her to the room. Eli took off her shoes and her clothes, then she snuggled into bed and covered herself up with the blanket. After that, she waved at Yvonne and said to her, "Please close the door for me on your way out. Thank you!" Yvonne closed the door for her. Eli stared at the ceiling and started to think about everything that had happened just now. Her heart felt oddly melancholic. Yvonne had talked to her about making things go according to her will
