Since it was lunch break, only a receptionist waited in the lobby. She stood and smiled at Emily. “Miss Brooke, it’s great to see you again. Want to see Mr. Jefferson?”
Emily nodded and smiled a little. “Yes, but don’t tell him. I want to surprise him again.”
“Ah, Miss Brooke. You are so romantic. Mr. Jefferson is lucky to have you.”

She should already be here.”Taking a deep breath as she already got used to seeing her husband’s impatience, Elsa took her phone. “I’ll check on her.” When she heard the notification that her daughter’s phone was inactive, she called the EO’s staff. “Where is my daughter now?”“Ma’am? She should be on the way to the church. I’ll wait at the church gate to see if she’s coming.”

I heard you are on the list of the ten most eligible bachelors. You won’t have any trouble finding a woman who wants to be your wife.”“No, Aunty.” Jacob shook his head. “Emily is different.”“Oh?” The woman raised her eyebrow. “How?”“She’s a good woman, and sh

The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 87: The Silent Syndicate's Meeting
At night, Harold attended a meeting of the Silent Syndicate in the headquarters. The agenda was to determine their next leader. It was a regular thing they would discuss every decade. Considering they could choose a new leader after a decade, it would ensure that the syndicate wouldn’t have a bad leader for too long.Five-year leadership changes were suggested because a decade seemed too much. However, most leaders opposed the feedback in the last meeting. It was impractical to change a new leader every five years. Besides, creating a leadership structure required a long time. Changing it every five years would be unproductive.Harold willingly stepped aside for a new leader to take his place. It wasn’t a big deal for him to be the highest leader or not because he was already busy in his business too. Yet, since most of the Silent Syndic
