Finally, the president signed a new contract with Yuna, which took immediate effect. Yuna's cold eyes scanned across these authorities who were now terrified by Yvan. Without another word, she turned around and left. She eventually decided to give Rose the power to finish up the last part of their project. She could just guide them online, working from home. When she got out of the research center, Yvan's Maybach was already parked right in front of her. "Get in." "I've called a cab," Yuna said. "But I saved you just now. What? Are you going to turn against me this soon?" Yvan fired back. "Get in. Don't make me repeat myself." Pursing her lips, Yuna had no choice but to get into the passenger seat, and the car sped off. Yvan was driving, but his eyes would rest on her occasionally. He asked with a frown, "Why didn't you tell me right away when something like that happened?" Calmly, Yuna replied, "I could handle it myself." Yvan snickered. "By talking it out with all o
Yuna moved away her suspecting gaze without another word. She merely lowered her head and read the document in her hand. Yvan's eyes were still narrowed, not moving his gaze away from her even for a second. Feeling uncomfortable being watched by him, Yuna had no choice but to speak up. "When we reach a certain age, our bodies wouldn't be able to work as hard as we used to. So you don't have to be bothered by what I said just now." "Really?" "Of course." Yuna nodded ever so genuinely. "But it's right to take some rest in between work." Yvan didn't argue with her further. Right then, Michael entered with some coffee and afternoon snacks. He felt at ease when he sensed nothing bad was going on between the two. After placing the drinks and food on the table, he left. During the break, Yuna didn't try to go into personal topics with Yvan. She focused on the contents of the document the whole time. Yvan, on the other hand, would steal a few glances at her every now and then. Havi
Yuna paused for a second. There was a look of surprise on her face. Yvan's expression didn't change. "I'm saying that so you won't keep giving me strange looks all the time. I can't focus on work." Yuna wondered if she didn't manage to control her facial expressions well enough. "What? Now that I'm giving you a chance, you don't want to ask any questions? Do you enjoy making assumptions?" Yvan shot her with rapid-fire questions. Yuna felt as if Yvan had seen through her. Indeed, she was going to think about it herself. Maybe if it piqued her interest again, she'd ask Kiara about it. "Did you have a fight with Daisy?" she asked, her face tense. "No." Hearing that answer, Yuna thought that she had, in fact, been overthinking. "Why would we fight if we're not even in a relationship?" Yvan asked her. Yuna felt a mix of emotions when she heard that. It seemed like she might be misinterpreting the situation, but was there any other way to understand it? Were Yvan and Yuna
Yuna knew that there was food at Golden Prestige, but she didn't think that Yvan would bring her there for supper. Besides, there were all sorts of people in the place. Wouldn't that make it easier to expose them? As Yuna followed Yvan inside, she tried to lower her head as much as possible, not wanting anyone to see her face. Yvan noticed her trying to act discreetly and sighed. He grabbed her arm and went straight into an elevator, which took them to the fifth floor. When the door was opened, Yuna found the place familiar. It was Gabriel's private lounge area. Instantly, Yuna relaxed a little, and she followed Yvan inside. Gabriel and Lucian were chatting away. Gabriel happily downed a mouthful of his drink, but he spat it all out the moment he saw Yvan and Yuna. Lucian waved them over with a smile when he saw them appearing together. "Ah, we're having quite the unexpected guest." Yvan sat down and said, "Ask your men to serve us supper." Gabriel wiped his mouth and quick
When he heard that, Gabriel chuckled again. "So that's how it is. How are you planning to celebrate your birthday then?" Yuna answered casually, "I'm not planning to celebrate it." "Why would you do that?" Lucian asked. "You can only celebrate your birthday once a year, so you shouldn't say that. Why don't you spend your birthday here this year? Birthday celebrations at Gabriel's place are always full of surprises. You can also bring your two kids over." That instantly made Yvan and Gabriel turn over to look at him. Gabriel almost gave him a thumbs-up. Yuna put her cutleries down. "There's no need for that. My children are scared of strangers, and I rarely bring them to crowded places. Dr. Storm, I understand that you're being kind here. But everyone has different ways of celebrating their own birthdays. I don't enjoy celebrating birthdays myself." "I see. What a huge shame." When Lucian spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Yvan, but Yvan said nothing during the entire conversation
Yvan stared at him. "Why would she want to keep her distance?" "She's married and even has kids now," Lucian explained. "People would misunderstand if she keeps lingering around you." Gabriel quickly added, "It seems that the news of Yuna having children hasn't gotten out yet, right?" Lucian argued, "But that will happen sooner or later. At least that's how she's feeling now, and obviously, she would stay away from Yvan." After that, he asked, "Have you investigated the kids yet?" Yvan didn't say anything. Seeing his reaction, Lucian yelled in shock, "Don't tell me you're not planning to investigate anymore. Aren't you curious whether those kids are yours?" Yvan merely drank his alcohol. "Forget it. I thought you'd find out about it sooner than me. If that's the case, I'll investigate it for you. I'll tell you the results the day after tomorrow." Still silent, Yvan gave his permission without a word. …The day after Lucian gave his promise, he visited Sherry's photo
What she said rendered Lucian speechless. "Ms. Scott, don't be upset. There must be some sort of misunderstanding." Lucian raised both his hands in surrender, looking sincere. "Why would I believe you? Rich people like you enjoy doing this sort of meaningless stuff. You'd never consider other people's feelings as long as it makes you happy. It's a trait that all of you big shots share!" Sherry was so mad that she didn't bother to watch her words. Lucian didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "Ms. Scott, we're at your photo studio now." Hearing that, Sherry then looked around. Her workers were staring at her. Feeling it was the right moment, Lucian said, "Why don't we find a place to sit down and chat? I'm a friend of Yvan's, so I know more about his side of the story. I can tell you what I know." "Why are you doing this?" He shrugged. "Yuna is now a friend of mine too. I can't just watch two of my friends being in such a tense relationship. We're all adults now, so why make
"As per your request, I haven't done anything yet except silently observing your father's actions." With a serious look, Liam said, "Your father is indeed plotting something in secret." Yuna wasn't surprised when she heard that. She now held thirty percent of the company shares, and with Blake's recent action causing the shareholders to lose faith in him, Herbert had to make some preparations for his son. Besides, Herbert had been surprisingly silent for the time being. He never asked to meet her. There must be something going on, seeing how silent he was. "That's expected. He must be focusing on Blake right now. He's also probably thinking of how to steal my shares," Yuna said. "I've settled everything for you, so you can return to the company anytime." Liam forked some food and placed it on her plate. "Is your work at the research center done?" "Yes, it's all done. I'll prepare myself to return to the company soon." Yuna raised her wine glass. "Thanks for helping me out, Uncl
