Meanwhile, after Sherly's father left, everyone talked about what to eat for lunch. In the end, they wanted to eat something different from what they eat. Sherly ordered food for the rest of her people before she, Maria, Kim, and Alex went out to have lunch by themselves.As Sherly and her three trusted aides, Maria, Kim, and Alex, entered the bustling restaurant, they scanned the room for an available private space. They wanted to have something more private, so they're trying to find a place where there's a room partition. Then, in the middle of their conversation, not far from where they were, Sherly's sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar face in the middle of the crowd.Sherly knew that he saw her, and all he could give him was a subtle nod in acknowledgment. Well, as she was thinking before, she felt that she became a little immature as she did not listen to his explanation. But Sherly really had no heart to do that before. And now, she is hiding because she doesn't want him to
"Boss."Sherly raised her head and met Kim's eyes. "Hmm?""There's someone lurking outside. I don't know who it was, but I think I saw that person once with you."Sherly raised her eyebrow and took the tablet from Kim's hand. Indeed, she saw a familiar face. Sherly sighed. She gave the tablet back to Kim and said, "Don't worry, I'll deal with this. You guys don't need to be alarmists as he is harmless and on our side."Kim did not ask about it, as he nodded his head and left. Well, he is indeed not harmless because they aren't his target. Besides, he has always been by George's side. Sherly stepped out of the building, her eyes narrowing in curiosity as she spotted Lary fumbling around near their office. Sensing something amiss, she approached cautiously, her senses on high alert."Lary?" Sherly called out, her voice cutting through the air and causing Lary to startle, nearly dropping whatever he was holding.He's been like this for a while, so Sherly knew why he was startled. Howeve
When the night fell, Sherly was alone in her bedroom. She stared at the crying as her eyes continued to cry. Sherly then took her phone, her fingers trembling as she dialed Solace's number. After a few rings, her friend answered, and Sherly wasted no time in pouring out her regrets.She really wanted someone to talk to right now. If she can't talk to her best friend right now, she really doesn't know what will happen to her. Her mind's full of thoughts that she can't sort out."Hello?""Sol." Sherly's voice quivered with emotion."Hmm? Sherly, what's wrong? Did something happen to you?" Solace asked with worries in her voice. "I feel so stupid, Sol." She sobbed and added, "I feel so stupid for not listening to George's explanation. I should have called him and talked it out; I should have listened to him as he coaxed me, as he made things better for us, but I let everything spiral out of control instead. And now, I've stopped contacting him altogether."Solace listened intently, her
In the dimly lit corners of the underground market, a lot of people decided to go there and talk to others to get the information they needed. In the middle of the hushed murmurs and secret exchanges, whispers of the Information Center's appeared again, sparking a mix of curiosity and speculation among the gathered individuals. When the information center disappeared, everyone went mad. Especially the mafia bosses, since they're particularly the people who could meet someone from the center. Not only that, some of the mafia from the other country also sought information and asked for an explanation when they learned that the information center had disappeared. However, now the information center is starting to move. As they huddled together in small groups, their voices barely above a whisper, rumors began to circulate, each more intriguing than the last.At one shadowy corner, a group of hooded figures discussed the latest hearsay with hushed urgency. It was as if they were part of t
Meanwhile, in a clandestine meeting room deep within the Rui Lin Mafia's headquarters, George and his top lieutenants gathered to strategize their next move against the Vile Mafia. With the Information Center's support, they devised a plan of attack designed to strike at the heart of their enemies' operations, crippling their infrastructure and dismantling their power base from within.As the hours passed, the tension in the room mounted, anticipation building with each passing moment. Finally, word came through that the operation was a success. The Vile Mafia's operations had been disrupted, their assets seized, and their leadership thrown into disarray.Sherly and George exchanged a nod of satisfaction, their alliance proving to be a formidable force against their common enemy. But even as they celebrated their victory, they knew that the fight was far from over. In the shadowy world of organized crime, new threats lurked around every corner, and they remained ever vigilant, ready t
After Sherly told them that she'd go and meet them before she left, all of her friends teased her. It is either that she should come back with him or that she should have his child after that, and that they should have given them a wedding invitation. Everything may have looked teasing, but Sherly knew that there's something hidden in it. It was all their wish, and if she had to sum it all up, they all just wanted her to be happy. As the taxi wove its way through the city streets, the driver looked at the rearview mirror and asked Sherly, "Do you mind me opening the radio? It's been a habit of mine to listen to some news while driving, so if it is okay with you, can I open my radio?"Sherly looked up and smiled. "Yes, you can." "Thank you," the driver said as the driver idly flicked on the radio, filling the car with the sound of the news bulletin. Sherly listened attentively as the reporter's voice filled the vehicle, detailing the recent events in the ongoing mafia conflict."The
Sherly felt heavy in her heart as she stood in front of George's ward. She really doesn't know what she should do at times like this. She stopped for a moment, took a deep breath, and released it slowly. She closed her eyes before opening it again and holding the door.As Sherly gently pushed open the door to George's hospital room, her heart sank at the sight that greeted her. It was like her heart was getting gripped tightly and was about to burst in pain. George sat in silence by the window, his gaze fixed on the world outside, devoid of any emotion. Sherly felt a pang of pain in her heart as she took in his distant expression.What happened to him? How did he become like this? Did something happen before they lost contact? Or was it because of her? If it is, somehow, even though it is painful, she felt that it was pleasing to her.Does he really love her?Quietly, Sherly approached him, her footsteps barely making a sound on the floor. For some reason, Sherly couldn't understand w
In the hospital room, George's voice was filled with a mixture of remorse and urgency as he began to explain himself to Sherly. He watched her closely, hoping to convey the sincerity of his words through his eyes."Sherly, I need you to understand." The grip he had on Sherly's hand tightened a little as he assured her that everything was really real and that everything he wanted to say, he wanted her to believe. Meanwhile, Sherly only rubbed her hand against his hand and listened to him. George then took a deep breath before continuing. "That day, the person I was with was Andrea," George confessed, his voice laced with regret. "We had an arrangement, a contract of sorts, that if we didn't find anyone else, we would marry each other. But things changed, Sherly. We both found someone we truly cared about. That is the reason why we decided to meet each other after years of stablishing our contract."Sherly listened intently, her heart heavy with the weight of George's revelation. Who wo
"Is everything okay?" Sherly asked her friend George when she was given the folder containing the things they would need for their wedding.They invited an organizer, but it was not enough for them. For this young couple, marriage is one of the strongest things that can bind them to each other, which is why they want everything to be perfect. Therefore, everything the organizer needs to do must be known by both of them.George nodded slowly. "Everything has been arranged. I have given the names of our guests to the organizer and planner after I have confirmed with them the design of our invitations and stationery."Satisfied, Sherly smiled and nodded. "That's good. The sooner the invitations are given to us, the better." He held George's hand and then said, "So, are you ready? There is no going back. If you go back, you will have a cut on your neck."George laughed softly. "You're really going to tell me that, Sherly?" He raised his eyebrows. "Shouldn't you be the one to be afraid?" h
As Sherly stepped out from behind the curtain, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement mixed with nerves. This wasn't the first dress she tried to put on her body, but it still gave her the same feeling of excitement and happiness. No matter which dress she picks up, it is still the same. The soft white fabric of the wedding dress cascaded around her, the intricate lace details adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble.This dress is much more satisfying.Solace's eyes widened in awe as she took in her friend's appearance. She had been in her place before, but she couldn't help but gasp and feel amazed when she saw her best friend wearing a wedding dress. Clapping her hands with excitement, "Oh, Sherly, you look absolutely stunning," she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration.Even those ladies who had been assisting them for an hour nodded their heads with satisfaction in their eyes. After all, they seldom see women who could fit their wedding dresses perfectl
Meanwhile, Keisley splashed in the water with Gio, their laughter mingling with the gentle lapping of the river. With the child by their side, they couldn't help but feel it was more lively than they imagined. If Gio weren't with them, they would surely be sitting and talking only. They won't even bother to go to the water and swim. The cool water provided a refreshing escape from the summer heat, and Keisley reveled in the joy of the moment, his carefree spirit infectious. Keisley is the most outgoing person in the family, and with Gio's personality, they got along well. Since Keisley has the same wavelength as Gio, the adults let them play. After all, they don't want Gio to get bored since this is their first time camping.However, the mood shifted when Sherly noticed the distress etched on Solace's face when she sat down beside her. This isn't the first time she saw pain in her best friend's face, but this is clearly not normal. With keen intuition, Sherly approached her friend ev
As they planned at night, their activities will start in the morning. Thus, as the morning sun rose gently over the cabin, the air was filled with the crisp scent of pine and the sounds of nature awakening. It is rare for them to have this kind of peaceful atmosphere since they are all living in a bustling city and working in a chaotic world, and it is kind of refreshing for them. After a hearty breakfast shared by both families with teasing and talking about various matters, Solace's brother, Harvey, suggested a fishing trip to the nearby river. Keisley and Kyle eagerly agreed, albeit with different approaches in mind. This is new for them, and they wanted to discover if they had a talent for it or none at all. Also, they wanted to feel the good air in the morning, which surrounds nature.An hour later, as they returned from the riverbank, Kyle and Keisley carried a small bucket containing only three fish, their expressions reflecting their contrasting personalities. Well, they do
It's been a long time for Sherly and Solace to have time together without their beloved by their sides. Usually, before they found their man, they had always been together, and they had never been away from each other for a long time. Even though Sherly was studying before, she always had time to be with her best friend. However, the moment they finally found their loved ones, they finally had no time together.It's been a week since they finally had time together, and they decided to go to a cafe near Sherly's best friend's house. Since Sherly's best friend is pregnant, she doesn't want her to travel too far. The ambiance of the café that they chose was really good and relaxing. The smell of the coffee inside makes them feel even more relaxed. Since then, both of them have been fans of coffee, and whenever they had time and money, they would buy a cup of coffee for each other. The cafe's relaxing ambiance immediately embraced Sherly and Solace as they finally found a moment to catch
As soon as George received the urgent call from Marie, his heart sank with worry. He knew that when Sherly was in a bad mood, it could spell trouble, especially in matters concerning the security of their information center. She sent him a text message, and even though he tried to soothe her through messages, it seems that it wasn't enough for Marie to call him. Without wasting a moment, he rushed to the headquarters, his mind racing with concern for his beloved. He doesn't want his lover to feel frustrated after all.Upon arriving, everyone in the information center did not care. After all, they knew why George had come here. They may not know why he and their boss were close, but they know that George's girlfriend is close to their boss. Thus, when George visited, they didn't care at all. When he arrived at Sherly's office, George found Sherly pacing back and forth in her office, her brow furrowed with frustration as she spoke rapidly with Marie and the others. Sensing her agitatio
In Sherly's office, the room was filled with a soft glow from the computer screens in front of them. Scorpio and her aids were all sitting at a conference room's table, and they were all poring over the latest data and intelligence reports that came into their systems. Normally, when the agents finally had important information, they all went directly back to the headquarters and made up a report. However, right now, with advanced technology, they could give a report even if they're in the most isolated part of the earth.While they are busy reading and investigating the facts of the information, suddenly, a flashing alert caught not only Sherly's attention but everyone in the room, indicating a breach in the system. With a furrowed brow, she quickly traced the intrusion back to the source, and her expression hardened as she realized what had happened.When her teacher was alive, he tried his best to make her knowledgeable about hacking. Now, this kind of breach isn't that hard for he
As Sherly's aids, Marie, Alex, and Kim, gathered around the table in their private meeting room, the tension in the air was palpable. It was because of the recent news that they had just received. They were poring over the latest report that had come in regarding a rival mafia boss in country M who was attempting to establish his own information center, with intentions rumored to be aimed at undermining theirs.They dont know if the mafia boss is still sane and on his right mind since his decision was futile or just trying to make them feel threatened. As if they are. They are just kind of feeling weird since they are making a lot of noise in the underworld internationally.Some of the mafia members all around the world are trying to seek information from them about this kind of thing, and they could easily get information from this so-called new information center in country M.This makes Sherly want to laugh her ass out. After all, once you're running an information center, you must
As Sherly stepped out of the elevator onto George's floor, she couldn't help but overhear the hushed whispers of the newcomers behind her. This isn't that rare for her since her people inside the information center are always chatting about different information as well. They spoke of a woman in the mafia who had attempted to seduce George but had only ended up humiliating herself."Did you see that woman? Oh my god, how could she do that kind of thing? Isn't she new as well?""Right? She's new but tried to climb to the boss's bed. Isn't she shameless?""Uh-huh, she really is. I heard that a lot of people prior to us had been warning her not to do something stupid, but she still did."She snorted. "She's someone who couldn't afford to be in a lower class first. In the end, she humiliated herself.""Well, it was boss Goerge we're talking about. He had a girlfriend, and as to what I've heard, he loves her so much. However, that woman did not listen. If boss George wanted to kill that tim
