Yuna gave Elizabeth a suspicious look and then turned her gaze away."I'm afraid I can't help you with that."At her words, Elizabeth's expression instantly changed. Still, she held off her emotions and smiled. "Why? Oh, is it because I did things that upset you before? If you don't want to tell me, that's okay. If I were you, I would do the same too."But you know, I really want to turn over a new leaf. I don't want to keep arguing with you like this. When you want something, it's best to pursue it through legitimate means, right?"The more Elizabeth spoke in this manner, the stranger Yuna felt.She didn't believe someone's attitude could change so suddenly unless it was intentional."My work situation with Carl was entirely different from your work situation with him. So, my experience won't be of much help to you. As for what you said earlier, I'll keep it in mind. I hope you genuinely feel that way," Yuna said.Hearing that, Elizabeth nodded with enthusiasm. "Alright, I'll
In the end, Rosie's words convinced Elizabeth. She nodded and said, "Okay, I won't lose my temper easily." For the sake of getting Carl, she was willing to endure a little discomfort.When the day came that Carl was hers, she could deal with Yuna as she pleased. She would wait for that day to arrive.At this point, Elizabeth was already fantasizing about her future. She believed that the day would arrive very soon.Before she left happily, she gave Rosie a VIP black card.With the black card in her hand, Rosie was overjoyed. She immediately made a phone call."How did you calculate everything so accurately? Elizabeth really gave me a black card. She even said I could buy anything I want.""Well, Elizabeth is always generous. Since you gave her an idea, she'll definitely reward you," the man said with a light chuckle. He added, "Just follow my instructions. If she approaches you for advice, tell her what I told you.""Okay.""Don't get carried away whenever you see money. If
Half an hour later, Carl sat in the restaurant of a high-end hotel, holding documents detailing everything about Stanley.The photos on the documents were familiar to him, but he couldn't quite understand why. "Is this information true?"Even though their companies were already working together, he'd only ever spoken to the second biggest shareholder of Devito Corporation. He needed to go over the partnership with Stanley again since he was the biggest shareholder.If he hadn't seen the photos, he wouldn't have asked that question.Behind him, his assistant reassured him, "Don't worry, boss, it's all accurate. We've also got a clear picture of Devito's financial situation. There won't be any problems."Carl nodded, closing the file. "When is he arriving?""According to his last message, in a few more minutes," his assistant answered.Just then, the front doors opened. Yvan entered the restaurant, followed by Terry and his entourage.When they approached him, Carl stood up. "M
Cedric was just about to continue convincing Yuna to take the day off when his phone rang.The call was from Carl.He picked up the call. "Yes, Carl?"Upon hearing this, Yuna kept quiet and continued drinking her coffee.Cedric listened to Carl speak for a moment before replying, "Does it have to be tonight? Alright, then. Surra is here too. Yeah. Okay."After he ended the call, Yuna asked curiously, "What was that about?""You know Carl was in talks for a partnership with Devito Corporation, right?" Cedric said. He continued, "The company's biggest shareholder came to Phoenix City to meet Carl tonight. He had just invested another 500 million dollars into the project, so we're speeding it up a little. He wants us to have dinner with Mr. Morgan. I have to call Caleb and Lucy too."Yuna was a little startled. "So now we have 1.5 billion invested in the project? Why is Devito Corporation so confident about it?""It's not just Devito. Carl has high expectations too." Cedric paus
Just when Yuna was about to avert her gaze, she felt that someone had been observing her closely. That feeling was oddly nostalgic to her. She tried to search for the person who gave her that familiar gaze, but it was to no avail. Her gaze finally landed on Stanley, who made eye contact with everyone. His good looks made him look dashingly handsome when he smiled. Yuna thought she might have been overthinking things. "Everyone, meet Mr. Morgan. The reason we gathered here today is to talk about our latest project." Carl was introducing Stanley but got interrupted. Stanley smiled brightly and said, "There's no need for formality. Let's treat it as a friend's gathering. We can chat as we eat." Stanley sounded like a friendly person, and everyone started to warm up to him. And so, the dinner party had officially begun. Everyone was having a good time drinking while discussing work. Cedric and the rest introduced themselves to Stanley. When it was Yuna's turn, she only brie
Meanwhile, Yvan had moved into the apartment he bought at the last minute.Though it was quite a distance from Yuna's villa, at least they were in the same neighborhood. They were likely to encounter each other. This was the best Yvan could do to stay close to Yuna's side. He thought of moving next to Yuna, but that would be too obvious. It might even worsen things. While standing on the balcony, he tried to look at the villa Yuna was staying in. Though it was far away, he couldn't help but imagine Yuna living there with the twins. While he was deep in his fantasy, Terry appeared behind him and handed him a photo. "Mr. Jenkins, we manage to take some photos of Ms. Feron's villa and the twins with her." Upon hearing what Terry had just said, Yvan quickly looked at the photo. Indeed, it was them in the photo. Harry and Sherry were in the photo, too. They must have come to celebrate the New Year's with Yuna. Looking at how happy the twins were, Yvan was filled with envy. Th
Yuna took a cab to the research center the next morning. She had this strange sense of nostalgia when she saw a car pass by. She tried to look at the car plate number, and the number rang a bell to her. It reminded her of Stanley Morgan. Does he live here? With doubts in her head along the journey, Yuna finally reached the center. Who would have thought she would see the car in the parking area again? Soon after she walked in, she saw many of her colleagues running in one direction. And when she was about to stop a colleague to ask, her phone rang. It was Cedric."Cedric," Yuna answered. "Are you here yet?" Cedric asked over the phone. "Well, I arrived just a moment ago," Yuna replied briefly. "Great. Come to the third meeting room after you have changed your clothes. Mr. Morgan is here." Yuna thought about the car she saw this morning. She was almost certain that the car belonged to Mr. Morgan. She didn't expect Stanley to live near her. Speaking of which, there w
Yvan rested his gaze on Yuna. But when she was about to look up at him, he quickly averted his eyes again. He then walked past her and left.Eyes on his back, Yuna almost had a feeling that this man was actually Yvan.Why did they look so alike? But his face didn't look like Yvan's at all.Cedric was standing beside Yuna. Noticing that she was still staring at that man, he asked, "What's wrong?"Yuna shook her head. "It's nothing. I just thought that Stanley seemed familiar."After hearing that, Cedric looked shocked. "I can't believe you feel the same way.""You think so too?""Yeah, but …" Cedric frowned a little.He tried to recall Stanley's face again."From what I remember, this was our first time meeting Stanley. Since he's a foreigner and we've seen many of them, maybe that's why we think they look alike."His theory seemed more reasonable.She nodded. "Probably."…As Yvan sat in the car, he looked outside the window.He stared at Yuna, who was about to enter the
