Laughter filled her ears as soon as she walked into the ward and she arched a surprising brow. She looked in the direction of the bed, she saw her brother was sitting straight and Paige was sitting on a chair close to him. She had no idea what Paige must have said to her brother that made him have such a beautiful smile on his face. The smile was gentle and it brightened his dull face. This scene that she saw when she walked in melted her heart. "Sister" Jordan said as soon as noticed Serene's presence. Serene smiled when she heard her brother's voice and she hurried towards him. "How are you doing?" Serene asked. "I am very well, look at me, I feel so good already" Jordan answered. "Mm" Serene nodded, "that is good". "How are you doing, bestie? I thought it would still take a while before you arrive and I was keeping your brother's company" Paige uttered with a smile. Serene returned her smile and said, "thank you" "Ah, it is nothing, I was just telling Jordan about the new j
"Are you hiding something from me?" Paige asked after a moment of silence. Serene did not raise her head to look at her, she tightened her fingers around her cup and shook her head. "What can I be hiding from you?" She mumbled. "Rene… I know you" Paige uttered with a soft sigh. Serene raised her head and arched her brows. She was only quiet for a moment before she opened her mouth to talk again. "You are not allowed to lie to me" Paige suddenly pointed and said. Serene arched a brow before she helplessly closed the mouth that she opened. She fell speechless. Paige sighed softly and pushed her cup aside, she leaned across the table and faced her best friend. "Rene, did anything happen lately?" Paige asked. Serene lowered her eyes and did not answer immediately, she could not help but think about the question Paige asked her. Did anything happen? Yes, something did happen and it had been making her filled her mind with uneasiness. The man… Steve, he has been treating her diffe
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
