“Sorry, but no.” If she had a better sense when it came to men, she would not still be single at twenty-six.I got in the car and told Mr. Pepper, “Just drive around for a bit before heading home.”“Isn’t Ms. Sophie Freeman coming with us?”“No, don’t worry about her. We’re leaving first.”Mr. Pepper took me for a drive, and the car moved slowly through the busy city like a turtle.“It’s rush hour. There are lots of people and cars,” he said.The city had a morning rush hour, evening rush hour, and even a late-night rush hour. It was always crowded.I leaned against the window and looked outside. The weather was nice tonight, and the warm breeze felt good on my face.While we stopped at a red light, Mr. Pepper suddenly said, “There aren’t many female bike riders these days.”Hmm?I looked ahead and saw a motorcycle pass through the intersection. The rider was a woman, and she looked cool with her helmet on.She was fully geared up, so I could not see her face. However, I rec

“Don’t make it sound so bad. Don’t you think Kingston’s a good match? Not only is he handsome and dependable, but you two also get along.” I walked out of the bathroom, and she followed closely behind.“When did you get so into matchmaking?”“Just stop hanging out with Lance. Kingston’s a great guy.”“Why Kingston? Sure, he’s nice, but his dad is Mr. Hanson. Isn’t that kind of weird?”“What’s weird about it?” I sat down at my vanity to dry my hair. The blow dryer hummed as I spoke. “Isn’t it better this way? We already know each other.”While I dried my hair, Sophie stood behind me and watched. Suddenly, she rushed over and unplugged the blow dryer. Her face lit up with realization as she pointed at me. “Wait a second. You’re trying to…”“Hey, hey.” I took the cord from her hand. “My hair’s still wet.”“Cassia, don’t tell me you’re setting me up with Kingston to get on Mr. Hanson’s good side?!”Wow, she figured it out fast. She was smart.I snapped my fingers. “Bingo, my dear

Oscar took the book from me. I assumed that Ellie had already told him about Sophie and Kingston. He stood there and contemplated as he watched the elevator numbers change. Just before we reached my floor, he spoke.“Ms. Freeman.”“Yes?” I looked up with a smile. “What is it, Mr. Hanson?”“I wasn’t home yesterday. Why don’t I treat you to a proper meal sometime?”“That sounds great. I haven’t had enough of Ellie’s cooking yet.”Soon, the elevator doors opened. While I was stepping out, Oscar added, “Looks like you’ve been busy lately. Are you planning to visit Mr. Harrison, Mr. Lewis, and Mr. Lawson too?”I smiled. “I told you I only stop by if I happen to be passing by. I’m not visiting everyone.”Oscar smiled in return and held up the book in his hand. “I’ll give this to Kingston. Thank Sophie for me.”I whistled as I walked into my office, and Benjamin came over. “Ms. Freeman, you seem pretty happy today.”Of course. I managed to get along with someone as difficult as Oscar

“There hasn’t been much work to do recently, but I’m still getting paid the same,” she whispered with a grin. “Why not enjoy it?”“Good point.” I patted her on the shoulder. “Use this time to focus on planning your wedding.”“Well, we do have two big deals coming up. Mr. Gordon has brought in new clients.”“Oh?” I looked at her. “Are they from our potential client list?”“No, they’re brand new. We’ve never gotten in touch with them before.”Zach was impressive. Even with everyone going against him, he still managed to land big deals. Did he cut ties with the Gordon family to prove that he could make Yonder Trading successful without their help and mine?The company sign had previously been taken down. But earlier, I noticed that it was back up. Nothing had changed.When I walked into Zach’s office, he immediately supported me, as though I was fragile or something.I waved him off. “I can walk by myself.”The blueprints were spread across his huge desk. There was a digital vers

There were many red circles on the entire calendar. From a distance, they looked like red flowers.I did not realize when it happened, but I had become the focus of Zach’s life. About 80% of his to-do list for the month involved me.Was I touched by this?No.I put the calendar back and relaxed in his chair.It was comfortable. I should ask him where he got it and buy one for myself.Zach returned with the water and handed me the cup with a straw. It reminded me of that time in Madrid.I had a question, so while I was drinking, I asked, “Why did you go to Madrid back then?”“You were in trouble. How could I not go?” he replied without hesitation.I finished the water in silence and gave him back the cup. “Thanks.”After that, we continued looking at the map. He placed a pillow on my lower back so that I would be more comfortable.Zach had always been thoughtful and considerate.At lunchtime, Hailey brought the food.I had a good nose. As soon as she brought it in, I could

It was 3 p.m. when I left Yonder Trading.We had not finished going through the blueprints, but my eyes were too tired to keep going.I joked that if I kept looking at them, I would end up dying on the papers.I stopped by Oscar’s office to quickly update him on the Cameron Hill project.Since it was part of Freeman Corporation’s plan for the second half of the year, Oscar had no objections.We talked for a bit, and I planned to have my dad call Oscar in the next few days. After that, we would sign the contract. I had to offer him this courtesy.Older guys like Oscar were about to retire, so they did not have big goals anymore. As long as they received a nice retirement package or got rehired, they would be happy.Oscar just wanted respect. If I gave him that, everything would be fine.When I returned to my office, I was surprised to see a new chair there. I took a closer look and found it familiar.“Where did this chair come from?” I asked Benjamin.“Mr. Gordon’s people deli

“I don’t dislike a lot of people. Does that mean I should date all of them?”I just looked out the window.“Cassia, there’s a new place selling buffalo wings on Commercial Street. Do you want to give it a try?”“I don’t feel like eating something spicy.”“I’ll get you dessert.”Sophie loved buffalo wings and ate them everywhere.Mr. Pepper parked the car at the corner of the street because he could not drive any further. So, Sophie and I walked hand-in-hand toward the new buffalo wings place. It was a long walk because it was on the far end.On a separate note, I had not been shopping in a while. I just did not have the time.There was a store we used to love years ago. It sold cute, girly clothes. I did not know when exactly, but one day, I just decided that they were too childish.I looked at the store as we walked by. I was about to turn away when I saw a familiar figure.A tall and slim girl was walking out of the store with her hands full of shopping bags.Lucy?She

Shortly after, the waiter brought us two iced teas with lots of ice.Sophie finished hers and shivered from the cold.She finally calmed down and looked at me in frustration. “Why did you pull me away? I should’ve slapped her.”“Why should you hit her? You’re not with Austin. Why do you care? Even if Lucy cheats on him with a hundred men, it’s none of your business.”My words made her realize her situation, and she stared at me. “Oh, yeah.”“Also, you’re the deputy manager of Freeman Corporation’s branch now. You’re not in the same position as you were before. You can’t just go around cursing and fighting.”Sophie sighed and hid her face in her hands.I knew that she was upset. She could not move on from Austin.While she was in her feelings, I quietly ordered a bunch of my favorite food.Since the place sold buffalo wings, I ordered some wings and fries. When Sophie finally looked up, she saw the huge platter of wings and complained again, “What’s this? Some kind of soggy mes

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
