"What's wrong, Farrah?"
Kurt's voice caused Farrah to shift her gaze to her husband. Consciously, she knew she had been staring at the spot where Ariel had disappeared from view. She shook her head. "Nothing." Farrah replied.
Kurt glanced at his wife briefly before returning his gaze to the phone. He sighed deeply.
"Ever since Ariel left earlier, you seem to be thinking about something," Kurt said. "What's going on?"
Unaware that her husband was actually watching her, Farrah remained silent for a moment. Uncertain whether to answer her husband's question or vice versa. She hadn't answered the question because something had occurred to her.
"Ariel's behavior seems different than usual."
As she said this, Farrah's forehead seemed to wrinkle slightly. Her hand rested on the dining table, fingers rubbing together. She seemed lost in thought.
"Different than usual?" Kurt asked, confused. "What do you mean, Farrah?"
"I mean..." Farra

The Billionaire Who Saved Me A Point
"Is something bothering you lately, Garrett?"That night, as Garrett and Elice hid under the covers in the dim light of the remaining lamp in the room, the question sounded faint. It greeted Garrett's sense of hearing and made him turn to Elice. She shuffled closer, approaching him, and Garrett greeted her with outstretched arms. He let Elice rest her head on his arm and reflexively planted a kiss on her forehead. It was a gesture that had become habit without command."I always have something on my mind."Elice's eyes closed briefly, enjoying the gentle touch on her head. But when her eyes opened again, Elice's voice was back."That's not what I meant. I know you always have a lot to think about. But this feels different," Elice said, lifting her head slightly. She looked at Garrett. "Do you have a problem?"Could what Garrett was thinking about now be classified as a problem? To be honest, Garrett wasn't sure if he should even be thinking about it. Sometimes Garrett wondered what go

On the first Monday of the new month, Elice officially changed positions. No longer working behind colorful cubicles. Instead, she worked behind the door of her own room. Elice's feet kicked rhythmically, leading her to see the state of the room that was now her workplace. Ensuring her safety from the whispers of her colleagues. That was the good side Elice could get. Avoiding the gossip she could hear.In the room there was a desk with a chair. Different in size and design from the one she used before. There was a special cabinet for files, and there was also a set of couches. At least these were the furnishings that caught Elice's immediate attention when she first entered the room.Elice's room door was knocked. Her gaze immediately shifted there. The door opened and Hollis entered, both hands rubbing together."Mr. Hollis."Elice had not expected her mother's boss and good friend to come to her. It made Elice uncomfortable. She immediately said the middle-aged man's name with a st

Three o'clock in the afternoon was an unusual time for Garrett to leave his magnificent office. But an exception was made for this day. Especially since he was driving his own car. And without anyone to accompany him."Mr. Dirk will be expecting you. At half past three at Coastal Bistro Restaurant."Those were Amber's words that successfully made Garrett cancel his schedule until six in the evening. Anything that had to do with his work could wait. His schedule could still be rearranged. But meeting someone who knew for sure the facts behind his father's accident was clearly something that could not happen twice.Garrett impatiently parked his car in the lot. He almost hit a car next to him, but luckily he hit the brake pedal at the right time. He took a deep breath. He tried to calm down.When he entered the restaurant, Garrett immediately went to the table that Amber had reserved for their meeting. He sat down and checked his watch. It was still ten minutes before the appointed time

A single knock brought Garrett's wandering eyes back to focus. He looked to the door of his office. Just then the door swung open and someone entered.It was Elice, carrying a tray. She smiled and walked over to Garrett. It was a cup of tea, which she placed on Garrett's desk."Thank you," Garrett returned Elice's smile. He glanced at the wall clock. It was already ten in the evening. It made sense for Elice to come to his office."Do you have a lot of work to do?" Elice asked, placing the tray on Garrett's empty desk and sitting down in front of her husband. She looked at a file that was open in front of Garrett, then back at him. "It seems you've been pushing yourself too hard lately, Garrett."Garrett sighed as he looked at the open file. Feeling a little guilty, he realized that he hadn't really touched it since. Instead, his mind had been occupied with daydreams."Is that so?" he asked."So, I see," Elice replied, her eyes showing concern. "You seem to be overworking yourself, an

Expressing her love with all her feelings, Elice took a short breath. Just before she closed her eyes. Just before she touched Garrett's lips with hers.Garrett obviously wanted to return this expression in the same way. But when Elice kissed him, he could only freeze. With a heart that seemed to stop beating. And when Elice pulled away from the kiss, there was only one word Garrett could utter."Elice."At close range, Elice smiled. Her eyes were serene and full of love.What Elice expressed. What Elice was doing. It was clearly not just an expression or an empty action. For even without speaking or doing anything, Garrett dared to swear. This love shone through so vividly.This feeling filled Garrett's chest. Amidst the pressures of work and the question marks of his family tragedy, he found that there was a reason that could make him endure. There would always be a reason to persevere. And that, of course, was Elice herself."I love you too."Just like Elice, Garrett leaned closer

Here's what happened next. Garrett paused, leaning on one elbow as he looked at Elice, whose eyes were beginning to fade. She looked tired, but at the same time incredibly happy.Elice's smile curved perfectly. With a hint of sadness in her eyes, she whispered to Garrett, "I feel like I'm going to fall asleep at any moment.At that moment, Garrett realized that it wasn't just sickness that could be contagious. Instead of frowning, a moment after Elice said that, a chuckle came out of him, tickling the corners of his lips and causing Garrett to smile as well."I think I might fall asleep soon, too," he said, not at all with the intention of reassuring Elice, but rather feeling the heaviness in his own eyes. Garrett yawned, and in his sleepiness Elice chuckled.Garrett wanted to respond to Elice's laughter, but his body felt incredibly tired now. So he settled for a stifled chuckle, shifting and adjusting the pillow under his head.But before consciousness left him, Garrett made sure to

It wasn't just Garrett who thought the situation was odd. So did Amber. As someone who had been directly involved with Dirk and Dakota for the past few days, the incident clearly took her by surprise. It made Amber feel almost unable to raise her face in front of Garrett. Embarrassed. Like someone incompetent. "Is everything okay?" Sherly's question made Amber turn. She looked at her colleague, forced a smile, and nodded. "I'm fine," Amber replied. "Thank you." Exhaling, Amber tried to contact Dirk and Dakota again. Alternately. Repeatedly. Ignoring a pair of eyes that had been looking at her phone screen all along. Clearly seeing whose name Amber was calling. * "Don't get used to contacting me suddenly like this. If your husband finds out, he might think we're having an affair." Nelson said after sipping his latte, grinning mischievously. It looked funny to see Amber's disheveled face in front of him. The middle-aged woman scowled. "You know what? My husband is worthy of being
