Everyone started whispering among themselves in the meeting room. I remained calm and collected as I observed their expressions. Cecilia frowned. I believed that she was unhappy with my arrangement. Even if she was unhappy, she could not do anything about it. She really thought that after Zach transferred his shares to her, they would be more powerful? She was wrong. Their powers would only weaken, not strengthen. Due to the transfer, Zach had lost some of his rights. I was the most powerful shareholder there. They were both just small shareholders in my eyes. Zach browsed through the proposal and said, “I’m fine with it.” He was very decisive. Cecilia cocked an eyebrow in surprise, but I guessed that she would not say anything about it. She had always been a considerate and nice girl in front of Zach. She put the file aside and smiled gently as she looked up. “I have no opinion. I’ll go along with Zach.” I closed my eyes. Both of them were seated together. When I

“Isn’t life all about desires? They keep us going.”Sophie leaned on the table with both hands and looked at me. “You have a point, but I’m still not giving you any coffee.”I hated milk. A few days ago, I pretended to be sick and ended up drinking so much milk that I almost threw up.Sophie swapped it for soy milk, so I took it after some thought.She sat across from me and watched me eat as she held a glass of wine.“Why are you drinking wine in the middle of the day?”“It helps me sober up. You wouldn’t get it.”Tsk. She was practically turning into an alcoholic.She finished her wine, and I finished my milk.Then, she raised her chin at me. “How did it go?”“I changed the company’s rules. From today onward, I’m in charge of Yonder Trading. Zach and Cecilia are just minor players.”“Nice.” She gave me a thumbs-up. “Don’t go easy on those two.”“I won’t.”“Have you called Hayden?”Just hearing his name made me feel uncomfortable. “No.”“Call him, then. You made a scene

Sophie was in a grumpy mood today.I did not think that I had done anything to upset her. Usually, Zach would be the one to annoy her, but even then, she would not get this angry.So, what was going on?As I left the coffee shop, I tried to give Austin a call.As usual, his phone was hard to reach. It took three calls before he answered.He sounded lazy. “Huh? Are you feeling better now?”“I’m going to shut you up. Everyone’s opening line is almost the same.” I was frustrated.“Send me a razor blade. I’ll kill myself.”It was rare for him to joke around like that, so I asked, “What’s going on? Any good news? You seem to be in a good mood.”“Not exactly good news.”“What is it, then?”“A friend of mine returned from abroad.”“Is it a man or a woman?”“A man.”“How is that good news?”“I didn’t say it was good news. I lost contact with him, but now, we’re talking again.”“Oh.”After the call ended, I realized that something was off. The only person who could make Sophie

I covered half of my face and looked at Sophie with sympathy. After I heard her out, it did seem like she might be right.I grabbed her hand as she paced back and forth in front of me. “Calm down. I’ll find out where they’re having dinner tonight. Then, we can check it out.”“Are we going to eat with them?”“Don’t be silly. We’ll just hide and eat at our own table.”“Really?”“Of course.”I talked with Sophie for so long that I was several hours late for work. However, it was okay. I was the boss and the largest shareholder. No one could say anything to me.When I opened my office door, I saw Cecilia sitting on the couch.I immediately turned to ask the secretary outside, “Why is she in my office?”“Ms. Wilson said that she needed to see you.”“Next time, tell her to wait in her own office when I’m not here. Only let her in once I’m back.”“Got it, Ms. Freeman.”I walked in and slammed the door. I did not have to be polite in front of Cecilia.After I hung up my coat, I

“Cassia!” Cecilia suddenly stood up and slapped me.I did not anticipate it, so I failed to dodge it in time and took the full force of her slap.Her nails were sharp, so they left scratches on my face as her hand left my cheek. It hurt a lot.When Cecilia slapped me, she was anything but gentle. Her eyes were wide open, and she gritted her teeth like a wild animal.I was not the type to start fights, but if someone attacked me, I would definitely return the favor.I quickly jumped out from behind my desk and slapped her back.It was loud and clear.It was strange how things turned out. Had this been Cecilia’s plan all along?Did she know I would hit back and Zach would walk in at that very moment?He happened to see me give Cecilia a fierce slap on the face.He was clearly stunned for a moment before he instinctively caught her.My slap had sent her falling into Zach’s arms. She groaned in pain and rested against his chest.I did not hit her to the point of death, did I?

Later, whenever my mom talked about it, she would say, “Cecilia has always been so sensible and considerate. If you and Sophie could be like her, your aunt and I would be thrilled.”I would reply that if Sophie and I were like Cecilia, she would have more to cry about.Hearing Zach bring up this old story just made me furious. I practically rolled my eyes to the back of my head.“I’ve told you many times. Believe it or not, it was Cecilia who tricked Sophie into poking the hornet’s nest,” I said. He probably did not believe me, but he did not argue and handed me a folder. “This contract is from Dustworld Corporation. Take a look.”He left after I accepted the folder. He was probably rushing off to comfort his precious Cecilia.I tossed the folder on the desk as I sat down and felt a knot in my chest. Even though Zach did not say much, the look in his eyes was just as bad as an insult.A little later, Hailey knocked on the door. She came in with a small bottle of antiseptic an

Whenever we saw detectives in movies wearing khaki trench coats and fedoras, we would joke about how they were trying too hard to look like detectives.Sophie was clearly not thinking straight. Confusion often did not result in the best judgment.She took off her sunglasses and looked around furtively.“Stop acting like that. Austin won’t notice us if you behave normally.”“Maybe we should just leave.” Running away was usually not her style. Sophie seemed tough most of the time, but she was timid when it came to romance.“Can’t you be a little braver?”“It’s not about being brave.” She looked at me and suddenly widened her eyes. Then, she pushed my hair aside. “What happened to your face? Oh, my God. Did that b*tch slap you?”She guessed correctly. Only Cecilia would have a grudge against me.“Keep your voice down. Aren’t you afraid of being spotted?” I pushed her hand away and covered my face with my hair again.“Why didn’t you fight back?”“I did, but I fell into a trap,” I

“You ordered them, so you have them yourself.” I pushed the soups back to her. While we argued, I suddenly saw the waiter bring some familiar people to a table at the front.It was Zach and Cecilia.“D*mn it.” Sophie saw them too. “Those two jerks. Cassia, go over there and slap them.”“I want to, but won’t that expose us?”“True.” She sighed in frustration. “Why does everyone end up here? Is this the only restaurant in the area?”It was quite the coincidence.So, I kept turning my head during dinner. I looked at Austin, then at Zach and Cecilia. I felt like I was spinning around.Cecilia was gazing at Zach with a gentle smile. I thought she almost fainted from that slap, but she seemed fine to me.If Austin were not there, I would have gone over and slapped them. Did they think I was dead?While I was getting upset, Austin stood up and walked over to them.I held my breath. It appeared that Austin had spotted them. He said something to Zach, but we could not hear it.Howe

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
