After Serene and Paige had separated ways, the words of Paige kept on resonating in Serene's head, no matter how hard she tried, she could not just stop thinking about it. A soft sigh slipped past her lips and she pinched the space between her brows in exasperation. She pressed her back against the seat of the car and closed her eyes. "Miss, we are at your stop" after a while, the voice of the driver reached her eyes and she opened her eyes. "Oh, thanks" Serene mumbled gently and got out of the car. She paid her fare before turning around and walking away. It was a good thing that the area Steve bought his apartment was a private residential area, if not, she may have been noticed by someone each time she went out but because of the privacy of the area, she could move around easily as much as she wanted without having fear of her identity being discovered. Serene walked to the door and opened it, she entered the door and closed the door behind her. Just as she did, she heard a voic

Serene looked up as her ears picked up the sounds of approaching steps, the doctor in his white overall met her inquiring gaze and he gave a slight nod, he walked ahead of her and she immediately followed after. "How is she feeling now?" She asked the robust doctor who had always attended to her mother as soon as they entered his office, she looked him in the eyes, trying to appear as calm as she can ever be. "Worse". He expressed with a sigh and looked at me with pity. Serene nodded, the response was expected and she understood what he meant quite well, as it was until that moment, they had always said that it was hopeless for her mother to ever become better. She would have to be stuck in her delusions until she die. "Miss, I really don't want to blame you in the past after seeing how relentlessly you have always watched over your mother however, there may have been a little hope if you had brought her here a little earlier" the doctor placed his hands on the table and stared at
"I may be useless, but I won't let you die..." A resolute thought rushed into Serene's mind, her heart was filled with new encouragement and she stood up from the corner she was huddled in. She did not know for how long she had slept but she only knew that she was so depressed that she cried herself to sleep. By the time she rose up, it was already late in the evening and the sky had become darker. She drew in a deep breath and looked at the figure in the bed, after a while, she turned her eyes away and walked out of the ward. Little did she know that just as she had left, the sickly young man on the bed opened his eyes, his thick dark lashes fluttered lazily and his lips were pressed together with difficulty. "Sister..." he blinked, a tear trailed down his pale face and fell on the pillow. Serene flagged down a taxi in front of the hospital building and gave the address of the most popular club to the taxi driver. In a few minutes, the taxi stopped in front of the club and Seren
"About the job, I don't really know much about the job description but I know that it will definitely pay well. You remember Betty White, our classmate in high school who now works as an assistant to a top model in the country? I met her by coincidence in a mall yesterday and she briefly mentioned the job. She did not also say much and just said that her boss needed a lady urgently for a particular job and she was going to pay well. They can't go public about the job for some reason. Anyway, that is not the case now, I was able to get the contact address of the person we can talk to. I really hope you can take this job, so I already helped you to book an appointment with them for tomorrow. I will send you the details too" Paige carefully said.She secretly lowered her eyes and stole a glance at her friend to see what her emotions were like but as usual, Serene's face remained calm and expressionless. There was only a tint of redness on her cheeks that was caused by the alcohol she dra
"I look forward to doing business with you, Mr. Crawfard" In a dimly lit private room in a high class restaurant, a young man in a well-tailored and ironed expressed deeply, he leaned forward and shook hands with the other occupant of the room who was a slightly older man. The man who seemed to be in his early fifties smiled and shook the young man politely. "It is indeed a pleasure, Mr. Jobbs. Your grandfather speaks very highly of you and you have truly proved your worth in this collaboration. Hopefully, we are very satisfied in the end" The man said. "Mm" The young man nodded. "Since it is done, we will take our leave first." The older man uttered and stood up. Steve Jobbs stood up alongside the older man and gave a slight nod in acknowledgment. The older man smiled in satisfaction before walking out of the private room with his assistant after him. After taking a few steps away from the private room, the man paused his steps and tilted his body a little bit in the direction
The two men stepped out of the Private room and walked out of the restaurant. The night was already basking in a starless night. The rays from the streetlights around every corner illuminated the area. The city was even as active at night just as it was during the day. Steve walked in the direction where his black Ferrari was parked. His assistant also maintained a good pace behind him and as soon as they got to the car, he walked forward and pushed open the car door. His boss was just about to step in when he suddenly opened his mouth. "Eh, Mr. Steve..." James called and the man paused. He threw him a glance and arched a questioning brow."What is it that you have to say?" Steve queried calmly."Boss, your smell... I think your body have been corrupted with the scent from other people. Do you want me to send the suit to the laundry?" James asked. Steve's brows furrowed, he subconsciously raised his hand to his nose and took a whiff of the smell of himself. He had first expected to
Serene woke up at exactly seven that morning, she yawned and stretched lazily. She shook off the old blanket that she used to cover her body and climbed out of the bed. She stumbled to the bathroom and subconsciously turned on the tap. Cold water gushed out of the tap and she was forced to take a step back. She raised her brows and turned off the tap again. It looks like they have pitied her again and gave her water. She took her toothbrush and forcefully squeezed out the last toothpaste from the tube to brush her teeth. After brushing her teeth, she returned her toothbrush and stole a glance at her reflection on the mirror. She had a straight long hair that was very thick and full, her heart-shaped face made her appear delicate and cute, the kind of innocent beauty that made people's heart fluster. The years of hard work had made her skin darker but she still met with the latest beauty standard of the girls of her age. She dropped her eyes and and looked at her palm. She saw the c
