The woman in the photo looked almost forty. She had blonde hair and deep wrinkles around her eyes.“How old is she?”“She’s 37.”“Fame got married so young. He’s only 26.”“His dad lost a lot of money in Australia, and he met his wife there. She’s rich, and she owns a huge farm. But she refused to help him for free, so Fame married her.”Fame’s wife was abroad, so he lived off her money and pursued a wild lifestyle here.He probably thought that he could get away with it since his wife was far away and oblivious.“Anything else about Fame?”“Honestly, it’s crazy.” Sophie kept scrolling through the photos. “This one’s Zoey. Fame met her in a nightclub. She’s pretty well-known there. She’s gorgeous, and she has a great figure. She got together with Fame even before Cecilia, and Fame really likes her. My company signed this one as a model before. After her contract ended, she switched over to Fame’s company. That’s when he got involved with her. Then, there’s this one, and this on

Sophie was sitting by the window and staring outside.“What are you looking at?” I asked.“The stars.”“Are you okay?” I looked outside. “It’s going to rain tomorrow. There aren’t any stars tonight.”“If there are stars in your heart, you’ll see them.”I patted Sophie on the head, but she pushed my hand away. “Go to sleep, pregnant lady.”“What’s wrong with being pregnant? Don’t make fun of pregnant women.” She could keep looking if she wanted. I lay down to sleep.Just as I was about to get comfortable, her phone rang.She checked it and declined the call. “Was that Lance again?” I asked.“Yeah.”“Did you tell him?”“I did. I told him that I don’t like being with a player.”“What did he say?”“He said, ‘you have to try everything life offers.’”“And how did you respond?”“I told him he’s never tried dying, so why not try that?”Sophie and I were skilled at arguing. No one could match us, but what did it matter? Life was not a debate where the winner got everything.

Freeman Corporation was a family business. So, anyone with the last name, “Freeman,” had shares in the company.My dad and uncle each owned 30%. The other 40% was split between Sophie, Bryce, Oliver, and me, with each of us having 10%.Since Bryce passed away without children, my uncle decided to give his 10% to Sophie. However, she did not want it, so that 10% was still sitting there.The executives were all eyeing it. The company had a rule that executives who had worked there for 20 years or more could receive shares as bonuses. My dad and uncle had planned to give 5% each as bonuses, but they did not need to anymore.That 10% share was a prize that everyone wanted.These bonuses were useful. It helped keep people loyal to the company. Big companies were worried that experienced employees who knew the company well might leave. This would result in a big loss.It also helped to keep the shareholders in check.However, Oscar was not friendly with me. He was probably worried tha

According to my knowledge, Freeman Corporation had taken over Cameron Hill, but I was not sure about the details.One of our branches handled land development, so I called Sophie. She had just arrived at the office and had not even taken a sip of water.“What’s up, Ms. Chairman?”“Check the details on Cameron Hill.”“Okay, hang on.”A while later, Sophie called me back. “Cameron Hill is government-allocated land. Zach didn’t pay the full amount previously. The contract says that if construction doesn’t start within six months, the government can reclaim the land, keep the money, and re-auction it to other companies.”“Zach agreed to that? He must’ve been really confident about the project back then,” I said.“Everything was fine until Cecilia screwed it up.”“Got it.”“Why are you so interested in Cameron Hill?”“It’s one of your branch’s key projects for the second half of the year.”“What? I haven’t even looked at the plans for the second half yet!”“There’s no rush. Just

“Yonder Trading won’t just last five months. It’ll last five years or more. As long as I’m alive, Yonder Trading will survive,” Zach said while he looked at me. It was as if he was making a promise.This was an office, not a wedding. I did not need such dramatic declarations.I smiled and took a sip of water. “Talk is cheap, Zach. You’ve been in business long enough to know that words don’t prove anything. But I’ll keep the contract. Once I’ve decided, I’ll let you know.”“Alright.” He placed his hands on the table but did not get up. Instead, he asked, “Want to have lunch together?”“I’m eating in the company cafeteria. If you don’t mind that, you can join me.”Most of the executives ate in the cafeteria unless they had appointments. I needed to get to know everyone better for them to accept me.“Sure,” Zach said without hesitation.When we entered the cafeteria at lunch hour, everyone stared at us.The cafeteria had two sections: one for regular employees and one for executiv

“I trust you.” He gave me another piece of pork rib. “The food in your cafeteria is delicious. I wonder if I can come here often for lunch?”“You can. Just mention my name.”Zach left after lunch, and I went back to my office to rest. There was a couch in the office, so I could take a comfortable nap.As I passed the staff lounge, I overheard several women talking about me and Zach.“Ms. Freeman is such a love-struck fool. After Zach hurt her like that, she still brought him to the office on her first day.”“Yeah. How could she be the acting chairman? I don’t know what Mr. Freeman was thinking.”“She’s lucky to be born with everything handed to her. She’s the heiress to Freeman Corporation.”“If she runs the company, it’ll probably be called Gordon Corporation in a few years.”“After the Gordon family kicked him out and Cecilia cheated on him, Zach is now clinging to Ms. Freeman.”“He’s not only clinging, but he’s also using her as a rebound.”“Hahaha. Neither of them is an

Nathan Sullivan was a bit chubby and short. He was not even as tall as my bookshelf. His hair was also messy, like a dog had licked it. Even flies would not land on it.He stood before my desk and adjusted his glasses. “What’s up, Cassia?”I noticed that he called me by my first name instead of “Ms. Freeman.” That meant he did not respect my position as acting chairman.I stared at him in silence until he started to feel uncomfortable.He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “Cass…”Then, he stopped and quickly corrected himself. “Ms. Freeman.”“Is your computer broken?” I asked out of the blue, and he was confused.“Huh?”“If your computer isn’t broken, check the project application I just submitted in the system.”“Ms. Freeman, I don’t think Yonder Trading is the best choice—”“I don’t need your opinion on contracts over ten million.” I interrupted him.A department manager should not be able to question my decisions. They saw me as someone with no authority.He was sho

“I don’t discuss business after work.”“We don’t have any personal stuff to talk about.”He made it sound like I wanted to talk about personal matters with him. I could not care less about his problems.“I’m hanging up, then,” I said.“I’ll drop by Freeman Corporation tomorrow morning to see you.” Then, he hung up.‘That jerk.’ My heart was racing with anger.He treated Sophie terribly but acted as if nothing ever happened. Even if he had no feelings for her, what was wrong with talking sincerely with her?Was it so hard to thank Sophie for all the care she had given him?Cameron Hill was a big opportunity, so everyone with power wanted a piece of it.If Freeman Corporation had teamed up with Jenkins Corporation to acquire Cameron Hill, it could have become a top project. However, Gordon Corporation had acquired it, and it had been sitting idle for almost six months. If the approval for the project expired before any progress was made, the hill would be viewed as abandoned. As

Sophie knocked on my door the next day around 7 a.m.I only managed to fall asleep at about 2 a.m., so I had a bad headache. I sat on the bed as she ran over excitedly and asked, “Are you busy this morning?” “Go away.” I lay down again. “Come to the city hall with me. I’m getting married!”“Why do you need me there? Am I going to breastfeed you?”“You don’t have milk right now.” I was disgusted by our conversation. Rachel sat up from the bed and asked, “Why are you going to the city hall?”“To get married.”“Shouldn’t you be going to a church for that? There’s supposed to be a priest with a bible that asks if you’re willing to marry this person next to you regardless of… something?”“That’s a religious wedding. Besides, it has to be lawful. What we’re doing today is the legal side of things.” Sophie carried Rachel up from the bed. “Do you want to be a witness to our marriage?” “Yay, sure!” Rachel immediately beamed and agreed. “I want to be the priest who holds the bibl

Cecilia had no shame at all. I would be speechless if this worked on Zach. After a while, she walked out dejectedly with her flowers. It seemed like she did not even manage to enter his office. She stood there in annoyance for a while before she suddenly looked over in my direction. I could see her, but she might not be able to see me. I was on a high floor, and the sun was blinding. Right then, Hailey gave me a call. I knew that she wanted to rant about Cecilia. Sure enough, Hailey started to complain, “Ms. Freeman, Cecilia is really shameless. I’ve never seen such a shameless woman. When Mr. Gordon was cut off from Gordon Corporation, she abandoned him immediately. Now that she knows he’s going to be Gordon Corporation’s acting CEO, she instantly starts visiting him again. I really can’t stand her.” “Hasn’t she always been like this?” I was unfazed. “Fortunately, Mr. Gordon is not willing to see her.” Hailey sounded relieved. “Do you really think he won’t see her fo

I looked at Austin’s pale face, and I was at a loss for words. His argument was reasonable, and I had no way to refute it. I was upset, but I could not cry. I felt a heavy feeling in my chest, and I found it hard to breathe. He looked at me and suddenly smiled. “Look at your face. Have I ever said that I liked Sophie? I don’t like girls like her. I prefer girls like you who are smart, beautiful, and decisive. Why don’t you marry me after you give birth to your babies?”I did not want to joke around with him. It was not funny.After that, Lucy exited the bridal shop and got into the backseat of the car. I stood in front of the bridal shop and watched as his car disappeared into the corner. “Cassia,” Sophie called out to me. I turned around. “What?”“Whose side are you on? I realize you’ve been extra nice to Austin recently. Have you forgotten that he’s a jerk?”“Watch your mouth.”I got into my car unhappily. “I’ll make a move first.”“Aren’t we having dinner together to

I knew that he was looking at the photos of him and Sophie in her wedding gown. Perhaps this would be the only time in his entire life that he could stand next to Sophie while she was dressed in a wedding gown. I felt the waterworks coming. When I tried to look for tissue papers in my bag, Zach called me. He sounded a bit excited. “Cassia, there’s this person overseas who has the same blood type as Austin. He has ALS, which is a fatal motor neuron disease. His family has already signed an organ donation form for him, and his condition recently worsened. He may pass in a month’s time, so I got in contact with them. His family has agreed to donate his heart to Austin.” “Really?” It was good news, and I almost leaped in joy. I glanced at Austin excitedly. He was staring intently at his phone, so he did not notice me. “Does Austin have to leave immediately?”“It’s still early. We can leave when the donor’s condition worsens.” I estimated the time. Zach said that it would ta

Sophie could easily start a fight wherever she went. I immediately went over and saw that Austin’s forehead had turned red. It seemed to be getting swollen. I kicked Sophie in anger. “Is there something wrong with you? What are you doing?” “Why did you kick me? Didn’t you hear what he just said?”Austin bent down and picked up Sophie’s phone for her. “Luckily, your phone screen isn’t cracked. It’s fine if my skull is cracked; it can heal.” Sophie took her phone, and it immediately unlocked due to face ID. Her wallpaper was a photo of Kingston and her. She had just changed the wallpaper yesterday. It used to be a photo of me and her. Austin was the one who had taken that photo. Even though Austin was not directly in the photo, it felt like it was a photo of the three of us. He must have noticed it. He smiled and said, “I’ll make a move. Tell Lucy I’ll be waiting for her in the car.” Austin walked out of the bridal shop, and Sophie looked dispirited. “I was quite happy, bu

“You’re getting married too?”“I’ll be your best man or maid of honor. What? You’re too cheap to pay for the outfits?”“You, my best man?”“Look around you. Are there any single people left?”Sophie rolled her eyes. “Hah, I wasn’t planning on inviting you.”Kingston tried to shake Austin’s hand, but Austin ignored him. Sophie got mad and pulled Kingston away. “Don’t pay attention to him. He thinks he’s too good for anyone. He’s crazy.”“Sophie,” I warned.“What? He’s always acting crazy!” she yelled.I was not sure if Austin really wanted to be Sophie’s best man, or if it was just an excuse to come here.Anyway, Austin went to change too. I could not tell the difference between the best man’s and groom’s outfits. However, the difference between the bridesmaid and bride was clear.While Sophie was posing in front of the mirror in her wedding dress, Austin came out of the fitting room.Austin was very thin, and the suit hung loosely on him, but it still looked good.He had a

Sophie’s wedding preparations were progressing quickly. She limped to work in the mornings and dragged me along in the afternoons to buy wedding stuff.I felt like the wedding was just an excuse for her to go shopping.“This afternoon, Kingston and I are trying on our wedding outfits. You should come too.”“It’s your wedding. Why should I come?”“To help me choose! I look good in everything, so it’s hard to pick.”“If it’s that hard, just buy them all. Aren’t you rich?”“Why are you so grouchy?” She leaned closer and observed me. “Cassia, are your hormones off balance?”“I’m pregnant, so everything’s a mess right now.”After some thought, I called Austin and told him, “Sophie’s trying on wedding dresses this afternoon.”“Okay,” he replied in his usual lifeless tone.“Aren’t you going to say anything to her?”“Don’t eat too much. The wedding dress will be a pain to alter.”I was so angry that I hung up. He was so stubborn. I was sure that he would regret it and cry later.M

Austin was the weakest among us when we were kids. He could not climb trees, run, or do anything physically demanding. Instead, he would play board games and puzzles with us.Sophie always thought that he was smart, and she admired him.I never imagined that someone I grew up with might die so soon.“You should leave,” he said weakly. “She should be done by now.”“Austin.” I wanted to say something more, but he turned his back to me.He did not want to listen, so I had no choice but to leave.As I reached the door, I heard him say, “Actually, this is a good thing.”Was he saying that Sophie marrying Kingston was a good thing?What was good about it?I felt like grabbing Sophie over. I wanted to point at the dying man in bed and say, “This guy loves you more than you know. He helped you test Kingston’s character. He thinks about you all the time. He comes to see you every night using his half-sister as an excuse, but he’s dying. He doesn’t want you to be sad, so he plans to die

“I just went for a checkup.” Austin walked over to me. “Why are you sweating so much?”He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and gave it to me. Honestly, only Austin would still carry a handkerchief in his condition.I wiped my sweat. “I came with Sophie to get her cast off, and I thought I’d stop by to see you.”“Get her cast off? I thought that wasn’t until next month?”“She insisted on getting it off today. The doctor checked, and her bone is healing well, so it’s fine for her to take it off.”“When did she start caring so much about her looks?” Austin walked back to his room, and I followed him.He sat down and seemed a little out of breath. I had already asked the doctor about him. Austin could not engage in any physical activity; he could not even walk fast.I was about to pour him some water, but he waved me off. “Don’t bother. I’m not thirsty. How could I let you take care of me? I might be a patient, but you’re pregnant.”At least, he could still joke. If I were him
