Yuna thought she could leave, seeing Yvan almost finished with his food. However, the waiter brought two plates of desserts into the room. She watched with her mouth agape as Yvan grabbed the spoon and enjoyed his dessert. "What's so weird?" Yuna instantly shook her head. "Do you know how bad of a liar you are, Yuna?" Yvan said casually without lifting his head. Yuna touched her face before realizing that his eyes were already on her. "These are all traditional family recipes. Even the desserts are homemade. Try it." Pursing her lips, she didn't say anything. But she took the spoon and started eating. The texture was indeed amazing. "I'm just asking you to have a meal with me. Do you have to be so on guard around me?" Yvan exposed her. "I don't recall you telling me to have a meal with you." "Couldn't you tell?" Yuna shot a bewildered look at him. "Mr. Jenkins, I'm not your assistant. How would I be able to guess what you're thinking?" "Back then, didn't you want
The next day, Yuna received a call from Diana before she even reached the company. Looking at the time, she realized it had been a while since she met Diana or had a call with her. Getting a call from her at this hour might not be a good sign. She answered it. "Yuna Feron, what do you think you're doing? Why are you ruining Yvan and Daisy's relationship? Just because Yvan divorced you back then? I'm telling you, I don't like you, and I don't want you as my daughter-in-law. No matter what kind of tricks you're playing now, you'll never be able to set foot in the Jenkins residence again! Even if you have Yvan wrapped around your little finger now, he and Daisy will never break up!" Diana yelled a bunch of expletives at her. Yuna wasn't that dumb to not know what was going on. She was wondering if something happened between Yvan and Daisy again. After thinking for a bit, she figured there was only one possibility. And it was related to the text Kiara sent her earlier. Yuna sai
Darren's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "No, I should be addressing you as Ms. Feron, the junior CEO of the Feron company." Yuna said, "I'll do the same to you then." That instantly made Darren laugh. "Doesn't that put more distance between us now?" Yuna replied, "Did I say anything wrong though?" Darren nodded casually. "You're new, so you don't know about all the courtesies. It's okay. I can teach you. In our case, everyone else would think we're close if you called me Darren. It will attract more business opportunities for you as well. It's called building connections." She remained impassive. "You're quite resourceful, aren't you?" "As a businessman, I have to be." Darren said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you since we know each other." Yuna didn't want that at all. Yvan alone was bothersome enough. With Darren in the picture, she'd be in an awkward position, sandwiched between those two. And she wasn't that dumb. "Thank you, Mr. Bowman.
Right at that moment, the office door was opened again. This time, Yvan came in. When he saw Darren sitting beside Yuna, he scrunched up his brow. His expression also darkened. The one suffering the most here was Mr. Adam. He was so horrified that cold sweats were forming on his forehead. He regretted being arranged to meet up with Yuna to sign the agreement. He couldn't afford to offend either of these big shots. "Have you signed it?" he asked Yuna. "Yeah." Suddenly, Darren said, "Can't believe you'd do the work yourself, Mr. Jenkins. Right after you announced your breakup with Ms. Bailey, you're being all lovey-dovey with your ex-wife now." Right now, Mr. Adam wished he wasn't here. He didn't want to hear any of that. Yuna raised her brow and said, "Mr. Bowman, watch your words." Darren shrugged. "Sorry, I wasn't attacking you. Don't think too much about it." Yvan ignored that loudmouth. He looked at Yuna as he said, "Take the agreement and follow me." Indeed,
"It was just signing an agreement." "Did you forget about what happened with Darren just now?" Yvan's tone was somewhat filled with reproach. "I didn't know Darren would be there too." "That's why I said I'd come with you to sign the agreement!" He pulled them back to the main topic. Yuna was left speechless. "Nothing bad happened. Besides, Darren wasn't there because of me." Yvan suddenly braked the car. It caused Yuna to jerk backward. She glared at him in shock. "How can you be so sure he wasn't there because of you?" Yvan asked, frowning. Yuna started thinking again after hearing that question. The date for signing the agreement was fixed early on. If Darren wanted to, he could've sent anyone to check on the date, and he'd know about it. So, he certainly would've known about today's event. Besides, the reforestation work for Thornbeak Hill wasn't much. He didn't have to do it himself. With that thought in mind, Darren's appearance did seem suspicious. Watching t
Yuna made a look at Vince. He then closed the door and left the office. She put her things down and ignored Yasmine. Seeing that, the satisfaction on Yasmine's face was instantly wiped off. It was replaced by discontent. She followed Yuna behind. "I'm talking to you right now. Are you deaf?" After that, Yuna suddenly turned around. She stared at her with a dark look. "Think about how you should be speaking to me." Yasmine was instantly mortified. She nearly stumbled backward. Her mind went blank, and she forgot what she had to tell Yuna. Throwing her a look of disgust, Yuna sat down. Yasmine gritted her teeth but continued smugly, "I'm here to congratulate you. I can't believe you'd be so capable of reaching where you are now. Let's see, are you planning to take over Dad's position next?" "Does your Mom know you came here just to speak nonsense?" "Wasn't I right?" "Seems like your Mom doesn't know what kind of stupid daughter she gave birth to," Yuna said casually. Y
Yuna wasn't surprised by what Harry said. "It'd be unbelievable if you manage to find something about him." Her words made both Sherry and Harry stare at her in disbelief. Yuna then confessed how she found this website, what she did, and how much she paid for the service. After hearing that, Sherry shrieked, "What if it's a fraud?" Yuna shook her head. "I just wanted to find some clues as soon as I could back then. That's why I gave it a try. It did help me, but I didn't expect their service to be so good. Society obviously does not accept their background, but they're doing this with their lives at risk." Harry raised an eyebrow and calmed his nerves. "Organizations like this are quite common indeed. Still, it's rare to see one around us." Sherry widened her eyes. "If that's the case, Jeremiah is a real person. He's just getting paid to do his job?" "You can say so." Sherry asked curiously, "What if he sells you out one day?" Yuna squinted. "That would only happen if
As they made their way to the Salt Oasis Spa, Yuna called Yvan in the car. The moment it was answered, she yelled, "Yvan!" "What do you want from Yvan?" When she heard Daisy's voice, Yuna was dumbstruck for a few seconds. "Why are you answering the call?" Yvan never allowed anybody to touch his personal belongings. But he actually let Daisy answer his phone. Despite her thoughts, Yuna quickly regained her senses. She shouldn't have believed the news. If Yvan had no feelings for Daisy, he wouldn't have tolerated her actions again and again. As for why Yvan would do that, Yuna couldn't guess, nor did she want to know. "I have something to talk to him about." Daisy chuckled softly. "Yuna, how rude of you to call now. Don't you think it's inappropriate to call Yvan at this hour? What kind of urgent matter would you need him for? I know Yvan invested some money in the Feron company. He even helped you in getting a project, but that shouldn't be an excuse for you to look for hi
