Randy looked serious, listening to what Stella was explaining to him. The two of them had been discussing job evaluations that needed to be completed before the day after tomorrow.Stella, with all her abilities, conducted the analysis. Meanwhile, Alvin, who was also in Randy's office, had the task of jotting down key points that Randy would later review after everything was finished."I think the plan you outlined is clear and can be implemented right away. After this, ask the planning division to coordinate directly with the field for immediate execution," Randy instructed Stella.While engrossed in work discussions, there was a knock on the door. Shortly after, Verona entered intentionally, stopping by the leadership office to meet her son."Mama," Randy greeted when he noticed Verona entering his office. "Why didn't you let me know you were coming?"Verona just smiled, walkin
"Uncle didn't need to go that far, making announcements and all. I feel embarrassed," Ghea expressed while applying makeup in front of the mirror, getting ready to attend her father's birthday event shortly."On the contrary, I want to apologize to you, Ghe. I'm really sorry if I didn't know at all about you being troubled by some staff in the office. Being a husband, it's hard to accept when people talk negatively about your wife, especially comparing her to other women," Randy replied, looking at the female staff who had gossiped about Ghea and then giving them a stern look.Ghea stopped applying her makeup, turned, and smiled at Randy. "But, thanks a lot for standing up for me. Actually, I could handle it myself. Just waiting for the right time."Randy chuckled. "No need to bother. It's my duty to protect you. From now on, if anyone disturbs you or says anything negative, please tell me. Don't stay silent. I feel usel
Upon arriving home and changing clothes, Randy immediately approached Ghea, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. After observing his wife's face for a moment, he decided to walk towards the dressing table to grab the medicine box, then returned to Ghea's position.From his eyes, Randy clearly saw the reddish bruise on his wife's cheek. Moreover, there was a dried bloodstain on Ghea's lip, a result of the slap she had received earlier."Let me help you with this," Randy said softly. Taking cotton and alcohol, he gently dabbed it on Ghea's injured lip. Once he was sure it was clean, Randy applied a special ointment to prevent any red marks from forming."Your cheek is red, Ghe. Does it hurt a lot?" Randy then asked, extending his hand to gently caress Ghea's bruised cheek, trying to provide comfort and replace the pain caused by the earlier slap from Clara."No, Uncle," Ghea whispered weakly. Finall
Ghea woke up earlier, blinking her eyes repeatedly. Instantly, she felt aches throughout her body, an unusual pain she had never experienced before in her entire life. Bringing her hand to her lips, Ghea gently rubbed them. They felt a bit numb and slightly sore. Surely, this was the result of the kisses and bites Randy had given her relentlessly last night during their intimate encounter.Ghea then closed her eyes tightly, attempting to recall what she and Randy did last night. After a short while, her cheeks turned bright red. It felt so embarrassing because she had boldly surrendered herself last night, giving Randy what he should have gotten since their first night of marriage."This is all because of Joshua!" Ghea muttered in her heart, cursing. "If he hadn't instigated everything, there's no way I would have been so heated up and dared to initiate intimacy with Randy first. Plus, all the videos he gave were useless. None of the styles
Ghea appeared visibly annoyed, wearing a frowning expression. Currently, she was in the dining room having breakfast with Randy before heading to work. Despite her husband offering to take the day off, considering they had just been 'busy' and even repeated the act earlier in the morning, Randy was worried that Ghea might feel tired or uncomfortable at the office later. While Ghea pouted, Randy continued to smile. He even casually fed Ghea with the fried rice on the plate, encouraging his wife to finish the meal that Sandra had prepared for them. "Don't keep frowning, dear. You enjoyed what we did this morning, didn't you? If I noticed correctly, you didn't want to stop, did you?" Ghea immediately lifted her face, sighing and squinting her eyes as she still felt irritated. "You're shameless!" "Well, your husband is like this, Ghea. Just admit it, you also enjoyed what we did last night and this morning, right? How about we repeat it tonight? So Mama's grandchild can be launched q
"Ghea...""Ghea Mariana Donovan.""Ghe woy, Ghe!"Joshua was on the verge of losing patience when he needed Ghea's help urgently, but his friend was just staring blankly with a smirk on her face. He wondered what spirit possessed her today. Nevertheless, observing her since this morning, it seemed like the girl with long hair was in a good mood."What's up, Joshua?" Ghea replied annoyed. Pouting her lips, she glared at him with irritation. "What do you want?""Oh, why are you annoyed? I should be the one complaining. I need a recap of the procurement division's documents regarding last month's procurement. You checked and saved them, right? There are a few items that need to be re-entered."Ghea sighed. She opened her desk drawer and searched for what Joshua asked for. Once found, she promptly handed over the documents."Here!""Thanks, Ghea, you're a lifesaver. Don't pout like that. Your charm might fade away.""Whateve
A tall and graceful woman walked briskly into the lobby of the Akasia Group building. Her straight, flowing hair complemented her attire: a black blazer and heels from a well-known brand. It was Giselle Annastasia Donovan, the second child of Maxwell Donovan, who happened to be Ghea's stepbrother. It was unclear why she had gone to the trouble of personally coming to Randy's company. After briefly inquiring with the receptionist about the location of the executive office, Giselle headed straight to her destination. Upon reaching the door, a secretary greeted her, asking about the purpose of her visit and whom she intended to meet. "Can I help you?" the secretary inquired. Giselle turned, removing her previously worn sunglasses, and then responded, explaining her reason for being there. "Where's Randy Walters? He's in his office, right?" Giselle asked, pointing to the room in front of her. The secretary nodded, smiling, trying to maintain a friendly demeanor. "Mr. Randy is indeed
After Giselle left the office, Randy wasn't just sitting still. After attending the meeting, he was accompanied by Alvin, choosing to go out briefly to meet someone to clarify something that he should have done a long time ago. Driving for about twenty minutes, Randy and Alvin finally arrived at their destination. As they had made a prior appointment, he was immediately welcomed by the on-duty staff to approach the person who was specifically waiting for him in the room. "Papa," Randy greeted upon entering the room, addressing the figure he wanted to meet. On the other side, there was Maxwell Donovan, who was originally sitting in his office chair. He stood up, walked closer. The middle-aged man briefly hugged Randy, then invited his son-in-law to sit on the sofa beside him. "Please have a seat, Randy. There are indeed many things we need to discuss right now," Maxwell said. As if he could read what his son-in-law might want to convey to him after this. Randy nodded. Believing th
Randy glanced at the circular watch on his left wrist, feeling uneasy. He was both hopeful and worried that he might be late to pick up Ghea and then take his wife to a dinner event with the extended Walters family. It required extra persuasion to make his wife agree to attend the dinner tonight. It wasn't because Randy had any issues or objections to what his wife wanted to do. Since Ghea entered the last month of her pregnancy, she became the type of woman who preferred to stay at home, lounging in her room while enjoying snacks and watching Korean dramas. Actually, Randy had no problem with whatever activities Ghea wanted to engage in. As long as Ghea was happy, he was fine with it. It's just that sometimes it became a bit troublesome for him. Due to her extreme laziness, Ghea often refused to go anywhere. "Darling... I'm sorry I'm a bit late. The traffic on the toll road was really bad." Upon arriving at the house to pick up Ghea, and now that his wife was already in the car,
"Ghea, Mom, I beg you, please drop the charges against Giselle's husband. Mom, I know he's wrong, but at least show your compassion." "After trying to live peacefully for days, Clara suddenly visited Ghea at her residence. Despite what her stepmother had been doing all this time, she approached and pleaded with Ghea, asking that her youngest daughter be released or at least given a lenient punishment." "Clara felt Giselle didn't deserve a harsh punishment. Especially after all the things she and Giselle had done, Maxwell also took a firm stand. The man she had been with for thirty years was now filing for divorce. He didn't even want to accept an apology for what he had done to Ghea." "Enough, Mom, suffering from being kicked out and divorced by Dad. Now, Giselle is Mom's only hope because Mario is not willing to help at all. That's why, Mom, I'm asking you, please free Giselle in any way you can." Ghea sat silently in her seat, listening. For a moment, she didn't comment on the r
Ghea has sighed deeply countless times. She feels extremely nervous thinking about Randy's reaction when he meets Giselle in a short while. Ghea is actually angry about what Giselle did. However, her heart still feels afraid and worried that her husband might lose control and be provoked emotionally. Ghea only just found out that Randy can look so terrifying when angry. This is something she really wants to avoid. Then, when the person they've been waiting for finally arrives in the investigation room, Ghea observes and can clearly see that the first thing Randy does is smirk. He tries to control his emotions by remaining calm, but he always appears alert. Randy continues to watch from a distance until the woman they've been waiting for finally speaks up and starts talking. "What's really going on here? Why did the police officer call me all sorts of things to come here?" Giselle asks casually when the woman is seated in front of her. "We deliberately called and asked Miss to come
After receiving the news from Alvin the night before that the suspected person who hit Ghea had been apprehended, Randy decided to go to the police station early in the morning. He intentionally brought Ghea along because the police needed her statement to further investigate the accident that had befallen her some time ago. Exiting the black Range Rover he was driving, Randy tightly held Ghea's hand as they walked together towards the interrogation room. Once inside, they were directed by the officers to check the man who had been successfully detained. There, a man around 35 years old sat on the defendant's chair with his head bowed. Randy then cast a penetrating gaze, assessing the appearance of the man who had caused his wife's accident and might have led to a miscarriage. Randy's jaw seemed to tighten. His calm face slowly turned red. Emotions were clearly evident on the man's face. If there were no police officers present, the narrow-eyed man might have attacked or sought rev
"Ghea, forgive me, Papa couldn't be there to protect you." Maxwell hugged his daughter, who was now sitting on the bed in her room. He was extremely saddened by the recent tragedy that had befallen his daughter. "Why apologize? It's not Papa's fault. It's just a stroke of bad luck. The most important thing is that Ghea is okay." "But, Papa is really sad to hear about your accident. Papa is worried that something bad might happen to you." Ghea smiled, gently stroking her father's hand, trying to reassure and calm him. "Ghea is fine, Papa. No need to worry, let alone think about anything bad happening. I promise not to make Papa sad like this again." After ensuring that his daughter was fine, Maxwell and Mario decided to go down to the first floor while chatting with their son-in-law. "Randy, thank you for keeping Papa and Mario informed about Ghea's condition." Since he arrived, Maxwell appeared anxious and worried. He was undoubtedly shocked by the recent unfortunate events. M
Upon hearing the news that Ghea had been in an accident, Randy felt his heart almost stop beating. Confronted with the reality that his wife's life might be in danger, he suddenly found himself short of breath. He couldn't speak now. Just silent for a moment, until the police finished delivering the news through the phone call he received. "Ran, what's wrong with you?" Darwin wondered when he saw Randy's face, which was once relaxed and playful, now turning pale. His cousin seemed to stand up quickly, getting ready to leave. "Ghea had an accident, Win. She's in the hospital now." Darwin was startled at that moment too. Both equally shocked to hear the news Randy had just conveyed. Without much thought, he offered to accompany Randy, who might be in distress or unable to think clearly. Driving his vehicle at an above-average speed, Darwin and Randy arrived at the hospital in just 10 minutes. Walking briskly, they went straight to the emergency unit. There, several police officers w
Meanwhile, Randy, bombarded with so many questions from Darwin, didn't answer immediately. Adjusting his sitting position, he then slowly began to explain. "The story is quite long, Win." "As long as it takes, I'll listen," Darwin quickly responded. "Don't worry; my schedule is clear today." "Do you remember Agista, right?" "Yeah, your ex who left to marry that sugar daddy?" "Hmm..." Randy sighed lazily. "Yeah, she became the representative for Velfire. Velfire appointed her to oversee the progress of the project in Indonesia. She was placed in Akasia's head office for two months." "And then?" "So, a while ago, I had a business trip to Singapore. It was also for a meeting with Velfire to discuss the collaboration's progress. Initially, everything went smoothly. No problems at all." "Well then, why did you unilaterally cancel the partnership, Ran," Darwin interrupted. Randy hadn't finished telling the story yet. "Listen first," Randy growled. He explained the matter to his cou
"I'm heading to work now. You can relax at home." Randy had just finished his breakfast. Accompanied by Ghea to the door, he prepared to leave for the office. "I'm sure you'll miss being able to peek into Uncle's office or hang out there as usual," Ghea complained with a gloomy face. For almost two months of interning at Randy's office, she had gotten used to spending the whole day meeting and interacting with her husband. "Don't be sad like that. I'll be thinking about you at the office. Or, how about this. What if we have lunch together later?" "Yes!" Ghea replied immediately, nodding her head. The girl responded enthusiastically to her husband's invitation. "Should I pick up Uncle from the office or what? Anyway, I really want to meet Uncle for lunch later." Randy laughed. Fondly, he cupped Ghea's reddened cheeks. He was somewhat surprised to see Ghea acting so spoiled. Her behavior was indeed very different from before. Usually, Ghea often hesitated to express her feelings o
Upon careful consideration, there are many reasons why being with her husband, Randy Walters, is highly enjoyable for Ghea. Aside from her husband's handsome appearance and athletic physique desired by many women, Ghea acknowledges that the youngest of the Walters family is skillful in the bedroom. Every time they are together, Ghea has been charmed and satisfied numerous times. For example, on a night like this, reflecting the intense longing after being apart for two days, Randy clearly doesn't allow Ghea to move an inch from the bed. He continues to caress her, worshiping every inch of Ghea's body with great intensity. Ghea's eyes then close. Sensing vividly how Randy's lips kiss her wet shoulders and the exposed neck, causing her hair to stand on end. Right when he lifts his face, intentionally approaching and parting his lips, Randy then slips his tongue into Ghea's mouth. Playing around there. Deliberately teasing, until eventually, Ghea responds in kind. Meanwhile, Randy's h
