When they returned to Everly's apartment, Mary squealed gleefully. "You are so amazing, miss! Especially that part where you threatened them! That look from Mr. Lawson is so amusing to watch. Hahahaha!"
Everly was amused at how Mary acted. A smile formed on her lips when she squealed a laugh while recalling the scenarios that happened in the conference room.
"Especially that part where you said, 'How about I terminate my contract with this company right here, right now'. That look on their faces. Miss, it's really fun to watch." Mary laughed so hard that her cheeks reddened. Her eyes squinted in delight.
"Okay. Okay. Enough with that, Mary." Manager Kim said. Mary immediately halted and took a seat on the sofa.
Manager Kim went into serious mode and looked intently at Everly. "You shouldn't have done that, Everly."
"It's fine Manager Kim. I have everything covered." Everly held her hands gently, assuring her that everything would be fine.
"B
Everly called Manager Kim to her apartment. Around 9 o'clock, Manager Kim knocked on Everly's apartment, which the latter opened immediately.After taking her seat, Manager Kim asked. "Is there something wrong, Everly?" Everly shook her head. With her usual calm voice, she said, "I'm planning to schedule the press conference next week. Please organize it for me.""Are you really sure about this, Everly? There's still time for you to change your mind." Manager Kim proposed. In her mind, it's okay if she lost her job. She doesn't want Everly to get entangled in her mess.Everly gently held her hand. "It's okay Manager Kim. I can handle it. Trust me.""But Everly, we're still not sure if we will win this. We haven't contacted Dr. Lee yet, which is a very big help to us. And Dr. Wu is also out of reach. The hospital said he filed a leave."After their discussion of Manager Kim's issue, Everly directly wrote a message to Dr. Lee. However, she waited and
In an exclusive hotel suite, inside the bedroom, a woman dressed in a short fitted red dress crawled towards the man lying naked on the bed. Her hands touch his chest and begin to fall in excruciating slow designs.Mr. Lawson lies still on the bed while his hands roam toward the woman's body, slowly unzipping her skimpy red dress. Patricia stood up and removed all the clothes on her body, leaving her naked.Mr. Lawson's eyes sparkled with lust as he stared at the woman's body. Patricia mounted him and sat at the top of him. She smiled seductively and slowly rounded her body, which heightened the l*stf*l atmosphere permeating the room.Hours slipped so fast. The steamy activity ceased a little as both of them lay on the huge bed, completely naked. Patricia's head rested on Mr. Lawson's chest and used her fingers to draw circles on it. While Mr. Lawson's hands went to Patricia's br**st and he gently played on them."It will be Everly's press conference tomo
"Everly, are you ready?" Manager Kim walked inside the room. There she saw Everly standing in front of a mirror, wearing a long-fitted brown dress and a cream-colored leather jacket. Her hair was tied up in a lower bun with some hair loosened around to accentuate her face."Everly, you look gorgeous as ever." Manager Kim couldn't help but compliment her. To Manager Kim, she was the only artist that could pull off any clothes and hairstyles. No matter what Everly wears, she can still come out gorgeous.Everly smiled while looking at her reflection in the mirror. "Yes, Manager Kim. I'm ready.""Let's go. Everyone is waiting for you."They are currently at The Royal Hotel where they are doing a press conference. Ever since the news spread, a lot of people have been paying attention to it. Even Everly's fans protested about it.A lot of her fans commented that she doesn't have to protect that kind of manager. That Manager Kim is just a replaceable one.
"Miss Everly, is it true that you faked the report to save your manager?""Miss Everly, why did you fake the report? Did your manager threaten you?""Miss Park, what can you say about how this event turned out to be?"Everly got attacked by so many reporters. Fortunately, there were already guards stationed near the stage so they managed to stop them from going forward.Despite the wild reporters, Everly's eyes remained on the man on the stage. Her patience had finally snapped. What she hated the most were those hypocrites. Just like this doctor spouting lies just to reap benefits.Everly stood up and walked closer to the man. Her eyes got colder and colder. Dr. Wu got surprised at her actions and moved a step back. "What are you doing Ms. Park"Everly stopped when they were one a meter away. "How much did he pay you?"Cold sweat broke down on him. He became nervous all of a sudden. "I-I don't know- know what you are talking about." H
Mr. Lawson slammed the door to his office. "SECRETARY CHOI!"His voice was so loud, so thunderous, that it made Secretary Choi, who hurriedly went inside, jump in fright. Mr. Lawson became a different person. His eyes had warped into a miserable black. The frown on his face makes it startling to look at."Ye-Yes sir" Secretary Choi stammered. He was paralyzed on his spot, the menacing figure of Mr. Lawson is so frightening, making his heart palpitate so fast.He balled his fingers into a fist and slammed his hands on his office table. When Mr. Lawson saw the vase on the table, he immediately smashed it on the ground in his anger."TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED BACK THERE?! WHERE DID THAT DR. LEE COME FROM?!"Secretary Choi jumped in fright. He lowered his head, refusing to look at him. His body is trembling slightly because of the fear."I- I don't know sir. O-on the r-report gi-ven, Dr. Lee wasn't me-mentioned." He nervously said. Terror sucked the
"CHEERS!" Manager Kim raised her glass and proposed a toast.Everly, Mary, and Director Jackson stood up and raised their glasses as well. "CHEERS!""Cheers to our success!"Manager Kim booked a private room in an Italian Restaurant to celebrate their success. An ivory wall background with Italian murals was hung.Muted lighting with hanging light pendants sets the ambiance of the room. She was really thankful for everyone's help.Her lips curled up in a big smile all the time. Her heart is full of gratitude. She's really lucky to meet them."Manager Kim, you should say something!" Mary urged."That's right! Say something, Manager Kim," Director Jackson seconded.Everly didn't say anything and just looked at Manager Kim. Waiting for her speech. Her slender fingers caressed the glass of wine. While the side of her lips curved up. Feeling happy for her manager.Manager Kim cleared her throat before saying anything.
Sunlight shone through the curtains as Everly slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes blinked slowly as she tried to clear her vision. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was still early.Her mood uplifted when she thought of her schedule for today. She will be visiting Dr. Lee today.Manager Kim had already told her the address of the hospital so she wouldn't have a hard time finding it. She reached for the remote control at the bedside table and opened the curtain.A smile formed on her lips as she lifted the comforter. She happily hummed a tune while walking toward her walk-in closet. Her heart was full of joy. "What should I wear today?"Her eyes landed on the pink floral dress. It's a cotton dress with red and white roses on it. There's also a white pearl belt around its belt."Should I wear this? Isn't this a little extra?" She roamed once more while holding the dress in her hand. Contemplating on what outfit she will be wearing.She can
"Everly Park?! The Everly Park?! That singer Everly Park?! That's you?" Diane exclaimed in surprise.Her eyes widened and her mouth gasped and opened wide. Her eyelashes flattered cutely, which made her look adorable.Everly smiled and discreetly said, "Shhh. Let's keep it a secret."Diane covered her mouth instantly and looked around before nodding her head repeatedly. Everly laughed at her.She couldn't help but pinch her cheeks softly. "You are so cute. Do you know that?"Diane grinned sheepishly. "Of course, I know that." Her voice sounded proud and confident.She moved closer to Everly and whispered in her ears. "Are you really Everly Park?"Everly nodded before answering. "Yes. I am really Everly Park. "She whispered.The two of them continued to whisper in each other's ears. Giggles and soft laughter are heard from both their lips.They are oblivious that they are being watched for a while now by Dr. Lee.D
Today is finally Everly’s most awaited concert. Although the performance will start at 6 pm, people were already lining up in the concert hall since early in the morning. It was an overwhelming crowd.Fans were bringing banners and light sticks to show support for their idol. Even if Everly was just new to the industry, she was highly anticipated by people. Not just because of her elegant and pretty face but also in her music.People loved all the songs she released. Even the debut song she sang during Manager Kim’s wedding, brought her millions of views on every social platform. With that, she was branded as the new pop sensation in the music industry.Backstage, Everly and her team were already starting their preparation. Manager Kim was so busy doing errands. She wanted to make sure that nothing wrong will happen for today’s concert. She doesn’t know why but she doesn’t want anything wrong to happen with her concert.“Iris! We will be starting in a few hours. Are you ready?” Manage
Afternoon came and Hans went ahead to his scheduled appointment. Jonathan messaged him that he was already on his way to the mall that’s why he bid farewell to Everly and went on his way.Everly’s concert hall and the mall are only a few blocks away so Hans managed to arrive there earlier than Jonathan. He waited at one of the coffee shops on the second floor of the mall.It didn’t take long for Jonathan to arrive. he ordered some drinks for himself as well and sat down on the seat in front of Hans. “So, why do you want us to meet here? Are you going to buy something?”Hans nodded, “Yes, I need your help with something.”“What is it?”“I’m planning to do a surprise proposal to Iris at her concert,” Hans said with pride. He had been thinking about it for so long already. There are already a lot of things that had happened between us.They had already been separated by death twice already and a lot of unrealistic things had already transpired in their story. They encountered problems an
For the last 2 weeks, Everly had been constantly busy. Most of the time, she would leave before the sun rises and comes back when the sun was down. Even if she and Hans stayed under the same roof, they rarely spent time together due to her busy schedule.Hans understood it clearly. After all, it’s Everly’s passion and he was fully supporting it. Currently, it’s the weekend and of course, Everly was not at home but instead at the concert hall since she had another rehearsal.Her first ever concert is about to happen in 3 days so her schedule is pretty hectic. She was even busier than Hans who was a doctor.Speaking of Hans, he was left alone in their villa. He doesn’t have any work schedule for this day. Aside from that, he has a plan later on that’s why he stayed home.Later at lunch, he will go to Everly’s workplace to send her some homemade lunch and then in the afternoon, he will be meeting Jonathan at the mall. He needed his help with something important. It’s a surprise he will b
Hans was so surprised to see Everly in his office at that moment. “Hey, I thought you were busy today with your concert?” He walked closer and took the cake into her hands.Everly smiled brightly at him and kissed him on the cheeks, “No matter how busy I am. You are always my priority. So, congratulations on your promotion Dr. Lee— I mean, Director Lee.”“Thank you! Thank you for coming. I really appreciate it.” Hans took her to the couch where Jonathan was looking at them with a deep frown on his face. “Guys, a little consideration please?… "Hans just laughed at him, “You have a wife on your own. I’m sure you two were more PDA than us.”Jonathan looked at him in disbelief. He turned his head towards Everly with a baffled look, “Iris, is this really my friend?… I’m sure the Hans I’ve known for so many years wouldn’t say such things.”Everly just chuckled lightly before answering, “I’m not quite sure myself. I also get surprised sometimes.”Jonathan shook his head and looked at Hans w
Months have passed by since Everly’s return and everything went as normal as possible. Director Jackson and Manager Kim had already come back from their honeymoon trip and went back to their respective works.Mary also decided to open a shop for her to pass the time. Her mother, Mrs. Watson was helping her in managing it. Jonathan was also in full support of his wife’s business. It was a cafe and Mary found a very promising location which is located near the hospital. Manager Kim helped her in acquiring that land.Currently, the shop was still under renovation and it will officially open its doors in a couple of weeks. On the other hand, Director Han, Jonathan’s father decided to resign from his work and wanted to enjoy the rest of his life leisurely.A lot of people disagreed with his sudden retirement but he was stubborn and firm in his decision. He said that he also wants to spend more time with his granddaughter and be with her as she grows up. After all, he had never gotten to do
The wedding reception has come to an end. Director Jackson and Manager Kim were now off on their honeymoon trip directly. They chose to spend their honeymoon abroad where they will be traveling from country to country to visit lots of places. They rarely spent a vacation due to the nature of their work that’s why President Song gave them this special wedding gift. A 3 weeks vacation and 5 plane tickets that they could use to whatever country they want to visit. He was very generous to them. At the airport, only Jonathan and Mary came. David went home right after the ceremony while Mrs. Watson went home as well together with Maverick. She brought with her baby Everly since it was already past her bedtime. “By the way, where is Hans?… Did he go home early? I didn’t see him right after he made his congratulatory speech.” Director Jackson confusedly, “Weren’t you together with him at the wedding hall?” Jonathan smirked, “He run away from who knows where dragging a woman with him.” “Ru
The hour that everyone was waiting for has finally come. All the guests, friends, and families were already gathered at the wedding hall, waiting for the groom and bride to make their entrance.The venue is located in a private garden owned by President Song, the CEO of the company where both Director Jackson and Manager Kim were working. The theme of the wedding is white and blue. White flowers with artificial blue-colored roses were elegantly arranged around the place.A large white grand piano was placed on the stage. Everyone was so excited about this day. Jonathan, David, and Hans were seated in the front row together with Mary, Mrs. Watson, and Maverick. All of them were dressed according to the theme. All of them were dressed in different shades of blue.When the wedding planner signaled, the wedding was about to begin. The singer was also being escorted to the stage. All eyes were on her, some were amused, excited, confused, and a lot more reactions. After all, she was a nobod
Jonathan booked a private hotel room at one of the most exclusive hotels in the city, The Ridgepole Hotel. It was not easy to book a room in this hotel since it needs membership. And there are a lot of criteria to be a member of this hotel.He was not the one who was a member of it but his father. Since it’s a special occasion for Director Jackson, he asks for his membership card to be able to book a room.As the time run so fast, it was already 8 in the evening. It’s the time he set for them to arrive. Jonathan has already arrived earlier than the rest of them. He ordered food and drinks for them.Not a moment later, Hans arrived as well. Then followed by Director Jackson. It was a very private and small celebration but it was enough for everyone.“So, how was the singer Manager Kim told you about? Did you meet her?” Jonathan asked as he served the canned beers he bought earlier.Director Jackson took one and opened it. He drank a mouthful before answering, “Yes. I met her earlier th
5 days had already passed since Hans got discharged from the hospital. Jonathan and Director Jackson scolded him so hard after he had woken up. Fortunately, nothing wrong came out from his test results so he got discharged immediately.After that short encounter he had with Everly, he didn’t know whether it was a dream or reality. When he woke up, it was like what he had experienced was a total dream. But it felt surreal and his memory of her was completely encrypted in his mind.He knew it wasn’t a dream. He had already talked with Everly to the other dimension. Hans even tried to ask Jonathan and Director Jackson if they knew someone named Everly but they did not know anyone.So, Hans didn’t push that topic and just let it be. Since it was Everly’s wish and sacrifice, he would respect it. It’s okay if she has been forgotten by everyone in the world, as long he still remembered her, it’s more than enough.“Dr. Lee, you have a call from from Dr. Hans.” his secretary said. Hans was cur
