"Hey, you've done so much for me, thank you," William said when he finished the soup."Nothing. No need to thank." Jessica said."No. I want to repay you for your kindness towards me." William emphasized."Repay?" Jessica frowned."Uhm..." William nodded. "Just tell me what you want." He added."Actually, you don't have to, but if you wanted to, I'd tell you," Jessica said. "Let's go to the movies, okay?" She added after thinking."Okay. I agree. Please wait for me to change before we leave." William got up from the bed."But, are you okay? I mean, you're vomiting, are you sure you can handle it?" Jessica asked with concern."I'm fine. Anyway, I'm a man. I'm not weak." William walked over to a cupboard, but Jessica was surprised to see him open it. There are many clothes inside."I didn't know that you have your own closet here," Jessica exclaimed."I usually sleep here, when I get tired and can't go home. So I have to bring some clothes here." He says.Jessica nodded.William took of
After visiting the store to buy two boxes of ice cream, he and she went to the amusement park, taking the first cable car ride. Looking down from the cabin, the city night appeared shimmering in the colored lights. The stars were so close, shining outside the transparent glass. Cindy felt like the stars were falling around her.“Eat ice cream in winter, sit on the cable car to enjoy the night view. It's amazing." She said dreamily.Mike turned his head to look out the window and said. “I feel as if we are going back to four years ago, living and loving, not worrying about anything.”Cindy is gentle. "I don't want to leave you alone."“I am sorry for causing you so much suffering over the years. You are a kind, honest girl who always sacrifices for others, how can you abandon me to marry a rich man? I understand, but I realized it was too late for us to part until today.”“I did not believe in Cindy in my heart, so God punished me, letting me live in hatred and pain for the past four y
"I'm Maya." The person on the other end of the line said."I know. Is something wrong?" Linda asked."Can we talk for a moment?" Maya suggested."Okay." Linda agrees because she wants to know why Maya wants to talk to her.In the coffee shop.Maya sat across from Linda. She started after drinking some coffee. "Did you hear from the doctor that someone paid for your brother's surgery?""How did you know that? Did you..." Linda raised her eyebrows."Yes. I am the one who paid for you including medicine and surgery. Now your brother's health is very good."Linda frowned. "Why do you have to do that?""Because I want you to do me a favor.""What is that?"Maya took out a box from her bag and pushed it toward Linda. She looked around and lowered her voice. "Let's put this shipment in Skymond's warehouse."Linda is still confused. "What is this?" she asked, looking at the box on the table."Fake Jewelry and Gems.""What?" Realizing she was a bit loud, Linda spoke softly. "What the hell are
Cindy agrees. “So the plan is to design a product that is impressive, to sell in the big market, and to save Skymond from its current situation.”“Yes. Twinkle Jewelry Magazine - one of the most influential magazines in the Gem world, On every special occasion they choose a product from companies and brands to post on the cover. The selected product will be the product with the highest sales. Last year, they chose a DOJI product and the next day it sold a lot.” Mike said.“Our company has never been chosen?” Cindy asked.“Only introduced, but at the last minute, it did not surpass the product of the DOJI brand. It can be said that DOJI is Skymond's rival.” Mike replied.“So, you mean if our product gets featured on the cover of Twinkle magazine, that means Skymond will be saved,” Violet said.Mike nodded. “Yes but no this is not easy. The director of Twinkle magazine - Jeanne - is very careful in choosing products. The first priority is creativity, originality, and difference. So the
Cindy opened the lid of the box to let Jeanne see the product from inside.Jeanne was a bit surprised but that expression quickly disappeared. She regained her cold appearance.Jeanne cleared her throat and spoke. “This year, I will not choose the product. If I do that, other companies and brands will say I'm not fair to choose the design of a company that has been involved in a scandal."Everyone looked at each other, bewildered."Why?" Cindy asked.“People don't misunderstand. I will give up the position of a judge to people who are more professional than me.” Jeanne replied.All eyes looked at each other, confused.“Who can be more professional than you?” Mike frowned and asked."Follow me." Jeanne went to the entrance of the newsroom. Everyone followed her.Then Jeanne took the microphone and spoke. “Guys, I'm the director of Twinkle magazine. I want you to take a look at this design and evaluate it, is it the best for this year's Christmas season or not."As soon as she spoke, pa
"Cindy." Violet excitedly entered the office, calling out."What?" Cindy was startled, looking up at her cousin.Violet is very excited."To celebrate Christmas, the company organized a picnic at the beach for all employees.""Oh, really?""Hey. There's more. I heard we're going to charter a yacht to go out.""Yacht?" Cindy asked back as if she didn't hear well."Yes." Violet nodded excitedly."I think I won't go," Cindy said."Why don't you go?" Violet frowned and asked."Violet, have you forgotten? I have a fear of water." Cindy reminded her cousin."Oh." Violet's excitement immediately dropped."Because I was so excited, I forgot that you have a fear of water every time you go on a cruise." Violet is sorry."You can still join other employees," Cindy said happily."I won't go without you," Violet said."Why not? You said you should get along with the other staff. Don't miss your trip because of me." Cindy tried to cheer up her cousin."Never mind. I'll stay home with you.""Violet,
Her heart beat faster and she felt her body tremble. Cindy clenched her fist. 'No. No. I can't do this.' She said to herself. 'This is a bad idea. I can't take the risk. I think I'd better stay in the cabin.'Just then, Jessica's secretary approached her and told her something.Jessica turned to Cindy and said. "Sister Cindy, I have some work to do, I'll be back in a bit."Cindy nodded. Jessica and her secretary left.Because Cindy was standing sideways, Jessica didn't notice her pale face.Right after Jessica left, Cindy decided to go back to the cabin, but just as she turned around, Linda blocked her way."What do you want my help with, Linda?" Cindy asked, trying to sound casual."Are not," Linda replied. She looked at Cindy's face as if she were studying Cindy."Your expression is quite pale. I heard that in the past, the director canceled the yacht charter because of someone. Everyone said that person was you. Could it be... you have a fear of water?" Linda didn't care, her tone
In the hospital.Cindy's ward. Mike and the doctor were standing beside the bed where Cindy was sleeping."Let her stay here to observe more. Let's pray that everything will be okay." The doctor told Mike.Mike silently listened to the doctor. His shirt is still wet but he doesn't care. What's important to him is Cindy's peace.He is blaming himself. Last time, she almost drowned. This time, he shouldn't have agreed to Cindy's request. This bad thing won't happen.Cindy is pitiful. She drowned twice, but luckily, Mike saved her in time.The doctor left, and Jessica and Violet entered Cindy's hospital room."Brother, I brought you some dry clothes. You should change before you catch a cold. Cindy will be fine. We'll take care of her." Jessica said.Mike quietly took the clothes that Jessica brought and he walked into the bathroom.Violet stepped closer to the hospital bed. She held her cousin's hand."Violet, have you called Aunt Ann?" Jessica asked."Yes. I called." Violet nodded. "Sh
"Why?" Violet asked again. "You should know that GemWorld is a big company. Sir Tom doesn't choose you easily if you don't have a unique talent and focus. With this course you will learn more ideas and above all, you have the opportunity to be known and shine in the jewelry design industry.""I know. This is the problem. Besides, working at Skymond isn't such a bad idea.""Are you hesitating because of Mike? You don't want to leave him." Violet couldn't help but ask.Cindy looked up at Violet, sighing deeply."No matter which path you choose, I support you." Violet put her hand on Cindy's shoulder, cheering her on.After work, Mike drove Cindy home. He noticed all the way, Cindy didn't say a word. Sad face. Occasionally she would sigh.Mike asked. "What is bothering you?"Cindy out of her dream, looked at Mike and spoke hesitantly. "I have a problem...""What is that? Tell me. You know you can tell me anything." Mike took her hand, his other hand still on the steering wheel.Cindy tel
"Wait. Don't tell me you're in X city?" Rose asked."Let's keep this a secret," Maya replied."What are you doing there, Maya?" Maya asked. "Are you following Mike again?""Rose, only you can understand me," Maya replied."Maya, you still don't give up on that man?""Rest assured, I'll be back when I'm done with them.""Them? Who?""Mike and Cindy.""Cindy? Is she back?" Rose looked surprised."Yes. I don't want to see them together. I hate them. If I can't be happy, no one can." Maya clenched her fists."Maya, you're just ruining yourself. Stop and come back before it's too late. You can't win against true love. You know love is power. The more you hate them, the more you hate them. the happier they will be." Rose said."No. I don't want them to be happy."Rose sighed. She knows that Maya is very stubborn. She wants to advise Maya again."Maya, give up, give yourself a chance. Don't hold grudges. In this world, love isn't everything..." But before she could finish her words, Maya dis
"Instinct," Cindy answered briefly. She didn't mention Jessica because she confirmed it was true, then she told Mike.After all, Jessica is also his sister. The sister has a lover, of course, the brother needs to know what kind of person it is."Okay, okay." Mike didn't want to argue with Cindy. "Come with me, Mr. Tom wants to talk to you and he wants to know the details of your design," Mike said.Meanwhile, William was walking to the exit. But he stopped when he saw Jessica. She was a few meters ahead of him.William immediately regained his composure. "Jessica." He tried to call her.Jessica turned her head to the back and saw William, her steps were faster."Wait, Jessica," William called her again.But that only made her walk faster."This." Jessica heard William calling her. She went to the parking lot to leave as soon as possible.William could not let go of this girl."Jessica, wait." William continues to chase her, but she won't stop.William ran and held Jessica's hand. He g
"But not now. Mike, I have work to do. It's time to visit." Cindy said in a sweet voice. She turned to face Mike, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips."Let's talk after the show, okay?" She speaks."Alright," Mike replied with a wide smile on his face. "I'm going to talk to the guest now, honey, don't stress too much, I'm here and everyone is here to support you." Mike touched Cindy's face."Yes." Cindy nodded a few times."Goodbye." Mike kissed Cindy's forehead before he left.Cindy went back to work, the staff were looking at her and smiling, making her blush.Then they seriously continued to work.Cindy continued to check the jewelry samples when Jessica arrived."Sister Cindy," Jessica called Cindy.Cindy turned her head to see who called her name."Jessica!" That Cindy waved at Jessica when she saw her.Jessica wore the same dress she wore the night she met William at his bar."You look so beautiful." Cindy compliments Jessica."Thank you, Cindy. You're g
"Cindy!" He called, immediately getting up from the couch and approaching Cindy.He pressed near the head of the bed to call the nurse and doctor and then he sat on the bed, Mike holding Cindy's hand and touching her face. "How do you feel?" He asks.Cindy could see the worry in Mike's eyes."I'm fine. Where am I?" Cindy asked."Are you in the hospital," Mike replied.Cindy suddenly remembered what happened the day before. Now she's still a bit scared.Mike read Cindy's mind, he said. "It's okay honey, you're safe now." Mike tries to reassure Cindy. "I asked the police to arrest Linda.""It's not serious. You don't have to." Cindy said."She almost took your life, why do you say it's not serious?"“She was just jealous of me, so she…”Mike put a finger to Cindy's lips. "This time I won't let anyone hurt you anymore." He hugged her. "One more thing, Linda is involved in the fake gems scandal, so the police need to question her."Cindy is shocked. "Why would Linda do that?""I think she
"Recall that you owe me money. Even though your brother had a successful surgery, he needs to stay in the hospital for care. I can provide all of his needs while he needs them. you're in prison. And one more thing, Mike will definitely fire you through this incident. How can you provide for your brother's needs then?" Maya threatened."But rest assured, I will hire a lawyer for you," Maya added.Linda has become silent. She is stupid. If she hadn't cooperated with Maya in the first place, had she told Mike the truth, none of this would have happened.Maya is a crafty person. Now Linda doesn't know what to do but listens to Maya.She has nothing left for her but her brother. If she was imprisoned, there would be no one to take care of her brother.Linda is also unable to work and she cannot provide for her medical needs. How could she refuse this offer?"Okay. I agree. But make sure you keep your promise, Maya." Linda said."Of course," Maya replied with a smirk."Ok. It's done. I shou
