“Yeah?” I mumbled while I chewed on my pie. “Go ahead, Tyler.”“The guy from Jenkins Corporation...”As soon as Tyler spoke, I knew that he was talking about Austin. He must have learned that Austin wanted the Cameron Hill project.“Austin,” I said.“Yeah, Austin. He has good judgment, and Cameron Hill’s a solid project. If it works out, it’s a guaranteed win. He came to see you today, didn’t he?”“Yes, he came to discuss a partnership.”“What did you say?” Tyler looked at me.“I was about to reach out to you, but you came to me first.”Tyler smiled and said, “So, you’re thinking about having our three companies work together?”“We can split the profits and share the risks. There won’t be added pressure on our own companies, and we all benefit.”Tyler looked at me for a while, and I just focused on eating my dessert. Honestly, I liked the pie crust more than the filling.Then, Tyler said, “You can finish the crust. Don’t worry about the filling.”“Is that okay?”“Why not?

“That’s too soon.”“You still have twelve hours until 10 a.m. The budget plan doesn’t need to be detailed. We just need an estimate, so it won’t take long.” I felt tired and yawned. “That’s it for today.”After the meeting, Sophie and I went home. “Are we really working with Austin?” she asked.“Yeah, and since you’re in charge of the real estate branch, you’ll handle the project.”Sophie was surprised. “I’ve never worked on such a big project before.”“You have a team. They can help you. This way, you’ll work closely with Austin.”“Who wants to work closely with him?” Sophie quickly responded.I was not sure if she was being honest. I was so tired, but I still had to report to my dad later.We bumped into Zach in the parking lot. Since both our buildings shared the same parking lot, we would probably see each other a lot.“Out so late?” he asked.“We just finished,” I replied.Sophie came up to us and said, “Excuse me.”She stood between us, and Zach stepped aside.Just b

“We get by with respect, but she gets by with no shame.”“Hey, do you think Zach will help her?”“You should ask Zach, not me.”Sophie looked at me. “So, you’re not getting back together with him?”“You and Oliver are the same. He asks me every morning, and you ask me every night.”“We’re just worried that you’ll forget the pain once you’re over it. Maybe next time, I should write down everything Zach did to hurt you and stick it on the wall. You can read it every day to remind yourself.”I did not want to deal with her.At 10 a.m. the next day, Sophie and I arrived at Gordon Corporation and met Austin.It looked like he had decided to team up with Gordon Corporation after some thought.Tyler welcomed us warmly, and as expected, I saw Zach in the meeting room.Austin was a little shocked to see Zach, but he quickly understood.He muttered, “So, it’s just a front.”Officially, Timothy was the person in charge of the Cameron Hill project at Gordon Corporation. However, Zach w

Fame’s wife had finally made her move, and she did not disappoint. She knew how to make an impact.She was probably not going to hurt Cecilia. Maybe she just wanted to scare her a little. If it had been a real kidnapping, would they have allowed her to keep her phone? Either way, it was enough to leave Cecilia completely terrified.Zach continued eating like nothing was happening, and Sophie sneered. “Let’s see how long he can keep acting so calm.”He finished his meal first and told us to take our time. Then, he walked out of the meeting room.Sophie watched him leave and said, “I bet he’s off to rescue Cecilia.”“What’s the bet?” Austin asked.“Two slaps.”Sophie had always been violent, and Austin chuckled. “Stop being so extreme. What if you lose?”A few minutes later, Zach returned and placed a peeled orange next to me. “I just tried it. It’s sweet.”I stared at him, and he motioned for me to keep going. “Take your time eating and have a short break. We’ll resume our me

“No.”“What about your eyes?”“I have amblyopia with an eye-power of 0.5.” He closed his eyes, and the eye drops streamed down the corner of his eyes. He then wiped it with the back of his hand. If he had treated it earlier, it would not have ended up like this. Sometimes, I really did not understand Zach and his actions. Sophie said, “We’ve only been strategizing on paper this entire afternoon. When are we going for a field visit?” “Tomorrow,” Zach said. “Are you guys okay with that?” “Yeah.” “What about you, Cassia? If you don’t feel well, you can excuse yourself.”“You don’t have to worry about me. Besides, I’m not that late into my pregnancy. It’s not like I’ll give birth on the way there.”So, we planned a field visit to Cameron Hill the next day. My legs felt a bit heavy after sitting in the meeting room for a whole day. I had also taken my shoes off when I sat down. I made an awkward discovery that I was not able to put my shoes on again. Sophie had already s

Sophie went drinking, and I spent my quiet time leisurely watching some TV shows. Sophie had a bad habit when it came to watching shows. She would not have the patience to finish them, but she wanted to know about the plot. So, she would watch the final episode on her phone and spoil the ending for me. I felt like killing her whenever she did that. She would even provide spoilers on variety shows by saying things like, “The red team lost.” Not long after Sophie left, she sent me a bunch of photos. The lighting in the photos was bad. After some squinting, I saw a woman in the photo. Her face was injured, and her clothes were torn.Oliver was sitting beside me, and he glanced at the photos too. “Isn’t that Cecilia?” I only recognized her after Oliver pointed her out. How did she end up like that?“Where did you get these photos?” I asked Sophie.“A paparazzo I’m in touch with sent them to me. His industry colleague sent them to him, and I sent them to you. You can also sen

Austin carried Sophie into her bedroom and laid her down on the bed. I noticed that his hair was drenched in sweat, and his usual pale complexion had turned red. He was breathing heavily when he said, “Help her wash her face and make her a honey drink to sober up.” “You get some rest. I’ll get you a towel!”I entered the washroom to take a towel. After I came out, I saw Austin sitting next to Sophie and looking at her. His gaze was deep and meaningful. He did not usually look at her like that. I walked over and passed the towel to him. “I’ve asked Mrs. Scarlett to make her a cup of honey drink. What happened? Why did Lance bring her to a hotel?” “She told Lance that she didn’t want to go home tonight.” Austin took the towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead. “She didn’t want him to go home either, so Lance had no choice but to bring her to his hotel.”“Then, did he do anything to Sophie…?”“When I went over, they were still fully clothed,” Austin said. His breathing re

I pulled away her blanket so that she could see her cartoony pajamas. She looked down and screamed, “Why am I wearing pajamas?! Who helped me change?” “I did,” I answered. “Mrs. Harrison and I helped you change. You’re too heavy for me to handle by myself.”“Then, why is he here?” Sophie pointed at Austin. “You still weren’t back at midnight, and I didn’t have Lance’s number. So, I called Austin. He picked you up from Lance’s bedroom.”“Nonsense,” she denied. “I don’t have any recollection of that.”“How much did you drink to black out like this?” “I didn’t black out. I was very sober. I remember every single detail.” A drunk person would always claim that they were sober. I was too lazy to argue with her, so I just tossed her a wet towel. “Take a shower. You reek of alcohol.” She then got out of bed. “I want to shower in your room.”“Why? Don’t you have a bathroom here?” “There’s a pervert here.” She ran to my bedroom, and I shrugged at Austin. “She’s shy.” “If she

Suddenly, I felt as if I did not know Austin anymore.The Austin I knew was cold, both inside and outside.Sophie once told me that he was like a thermos. He was cold no matter what.Perhaps that was true for others, but he had the warmest, most loving heart for Sophie.I did not know what to do with his request. Austin’s fingers felt so cold in my hand, like they would never warm up.I did not even remember how I left the hospital. As Zach drove, I curled up in the passenger seat and pressed my face against the window.He glanced at me and nudged my head away. “Isn’t your face cold?”My heart felt even worse.Why was life full of sickness and sadness?Love seemed like a joke. When two healthy people met, their feelings were not mutual. But once they finally loved each other, there was cancer, car accidents, or other heartbreaks.Was this a TV drama or some kind of soap opera?By the time I got home, it was 7 a.m. The weather was beautiful, with the sun shining brightly.Th

“There’s still another round of bidding for the project. You should stay in the hospital and leave it to your team.”“Cassia, you’re so bossy. You can control Zach, but don’t try to control me.” Even though he was weak, I still felt like hitting him every time he spoke.“Austin, when someone dies, they lose everything. If you don’t take care of yourself, who will?”“My body never listens to me,” he said softly. “If I can’t find a donor, should I just kill someone for their heart?”“Just stay in the hospital and wait for a donor. You’ll get one within three months.”“Even with a transplant, there’s only a 30% chance of success. That’s how bad my condition is.” He closed his eyes and looked tired.“At least there’s a 30% chance.”He remained silent, and I was having a headache from lack of sleep.I heard that Zach had arranged for a nurse to stay with him 24/7. I needed to go home and rest.Before I left, I told Austin, “If you try to leave the hospital, I’ll tell Sophie.”He i

With that, I called Mr. Pepper. I felt bad for waking him up in the middle of the night, but thankfully, he lived in our house.He was still groggy, but he helped me downstairs after he washed his face with cold water.My legs felt weak, and Mr. Pepper tried to comfort me. “Don’t worry too much, Ms. Freeman. Mr. Jenkins is young. He should be fine.”However, his reasoning was not sound. Death did not care how old you were. It would just take you when it was your time.When I arrived at the hospital, Zach was waiting for me at the entrance.He held my arm and probably noticed that I was shaking, so he reassured me, “He’s in the ER. The doctor said he passed out not long ago. He took some medicine when he first felt ill, so it should be okay.”I looked up at Zach under the bright hospital lights. He took off his coat and wrapped it around me.I had left in such a hurry that I ended up wearing one yellow shoe and one white one.Soon, Austin was brought out of the ER and into a reg

“You can eat them if you want. Otherwise, I’ll just throw them away.” “Don’t waste food.” She picked up an escargot with two fingers and sucked on it, like she was eating a field snail. I sat across from her and watched her eat.“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m cute?” “Yeah,” I said. “You look like a cute little pig when you eat.”“Why are you being so mean? Are you upset because of Cecilia? Are you worried that Zach might go back to her?” I got up from the couch. I was not going to waste my time worrying about Cecilia.I was actually thinking about Austin’s pale face.“Take your time eating. I’m going upstairs to hang out with Rachel.” I nodded at Kingston.Soon after, Cameron called. He was going to Switzerland for business, and he would drop by West City once he was done.Rachel quickly said, “Dad, don’t pick me up yet. Cassia’s taking good care of me. Don’t worry.”Cameron sighed on the phone and laughed a little. “Cassia, I don’t know if I should

I switched seats in the hall three times, but Cecilia stuck to me like glue. I could not get rid of her.By the time Zach finished his interview and came over, she was still challenging me. “Cassia, it doesn’t matter how much you do for Zach. Even if you give him everything, including your heart, he’ll come back to me as soon as I smile at him,” she said.Just then, Zach appeared next to our table. Cecilia kept going, as she was completely caught up in her own delusions.I looked up at Zach and said with a smile, “When did you become a butcher who took hearts?”Since he showed up, I took the chance to escape. I stood up and said, “Well, Zach’s here. Cecilia, why don’t you charm him and give him that smile you were talking about?”Then, I quickly slipped away. All evening, she had been annoying me like a fly. It totally ruined my appetite.I found a quiet spot and placed my food on the table. As soon as I sat down, Zach came over and sat across from me. I looked behind him and

When Zach saw Wilson Corporation’s bid, he tossed it aside. This meant that it had been eliminated.Wilson Corporation did not have enough funding, so they would not make it to the next round. If they could not keep up in terms of cash flow, it would delay the whole project.However, it would not be fun to eliminate them in the first round.I picked up Wilson Corporation’s bid again. Austin looked at me and asked, “What are you doing?”“Just having some fun.”Wilson Corporation would not make it to the final round anyway. At least, they could enjoy making it to the next round.When the names of the qualified companies were announced, Cecilia’s expression was strange. She looked both nervous and confident at the same time. It was like she had a split personality.The moment Zach read Wilson Corporation’s name, Cecilia quickly stood up and turned to me.I saw pride, satisfaction, and joy in her gaze.She raised her chin as she walked up to receive the bid from Zach. She was acti

There was nonstop clicking from the cameras, and their flashes were so bright that they almost made my eyes water.Just then, Zach handed me a pair of glasses. I put it on, and another reporter asked, “There’s a rumor that Zach was recently fired from Gordon Corporation’s board? Is it true?”Tyler laughed. He looked at Zach and then at me before he said, “You just said that it was a rumor, right?”I scanned the crowd and quickly spotted Cecilia. Her face was pale, and it looked like she was about to cry.At this point, she should realize that Zach had not been fired. He was not the nobody she thought he was.He was still the same Zach. In fact, he was even better. While he was away from the spotlight, Zach set Yonder Trading up for the next five years. Even without Gordon Corporation, he could still succeed in the business world with Yonder Trading.Cecilia was dumbfounded, but it did not seem like she could cry. It was almost funny.Her attitude had been completely different

Cecilia walked toward me in her high heels. “Cassia, you’re acting like a saint again. When Zach’s career fell apart four years ago, you stayed with him for three years. Now, you’re getting back with him again? You love him that much, huh? I’m telling you that Zach is a lost cause. No matter what you do, he’s not going to make a comeback unless you hand over Freeman Corporation to him. Other people date for fun, but you? You’re ready to risk everything for him.”“Cecilia.” I looked her straight in the eye. “That’s enough. No matter what, Zach used to be completely devoted to you. Not only have you dumped him, but you’re trash-talking him behind his back.”“Behind his back? I’d say the same thing to his face.” Cecilia raised her chin. “Sure, Zach loved me, but I don’t want some lovesick fool. It doesn’t matter that he turned against the Gordon family for me. Did I ask him to? If his life is a mess now, it’s his own fault.”“His fault is falling in love with you.”Cecilia smiled smug

The past few days had been particularly hectic. The signing of the Cameron Hill project was around the corner, and we were going to open for tender on the signing day. Once the project began, we would subcontract to many construction companies. We had a few construction companies under Freeman Corporation. However, it was going to be hard for us to tackle such a big project on our own. Hence, we needed to look for subcontractors. Doing both the signing and the tendering on the same day was a first in the industry. Actually, I did not want to rush things like that, but Austin wanted to be quick. He was afraid that his body would give up on him. Meanwhile, I was afraid that I would accidentally tell Sophie the truth one day. Sophie could not make it to the signing. She could not walk well, and she was basically resting. We had released the news about the tender a few days ago, and I had received tenders from many companies. Wilson Corporation was one of them. I glanced at the
