A red-haired woman walked to a hotel. She wore all white, following the order from the one who contacted her on the phone. The woman entered the elevator and strolled through the hall on the third floor of the large hotel. She stopped outside room 333 and knocked on the door. 

Someone, a lawyer, opened the door and stared at the red-haired woman. “Ah, you’re here. Good! Please have a seat!”

The red-haired one took a seat and waited for whatever the first one would say. It was for a job, and she needed it badly.

The lawyer opened a folder and took some paper inside. “It’s a contract for the job and an NDA—non-disclosure agreement. If you want to take the job, you must sign both. You can’t disclose anything about the job and everything relates to it, including the one who

    Elsa called Jacob when he was in the middle of the Gold Cleaner’s meeting. Since he silenced his phone, he didn’t know Elsa called him. After the meeting, he checked his phone and excused himself to others so he could call her.“Aunty, how are you? I hope you called because you had news about Emily.”“Yes, I do! Emily texted me again to tell me she’s healthy. So, I was relieved to know that. But there’s something you need to know. Emily called me from abroad.”“Where?”“Argentina.”He raised his eyebrow because it was far from their country. How she could go there alone was a mystery because Al and their people should already check all airports.&nbs

Find Emily Brooke’s location in Argentina.”“Yes, sir. Right away.”After ending the call, Al frowned. “Are you sure the info is valid?” Somehow, he doubted it because it was too easy. He tried to find Emily’s location for months and couldn’t find her at all. Suddenly, Jacob got Emily’s photo just like that. It was too much of a coincidence.“Why? Do you think Emily’s mother lied?”

    Emily gulped because Harold was right, but she didn’t want to take advantage of his kindness. If he truly loved her, it would be bad for him to marry her while she couldn’t love him back.“I can’t ….” She shook her head again. “Let’s not discuss it for now.” She was quiet for a while. “You are a kind man, Harold. I want you to be happy. I can’t marry you because I can’t love you back.”He sighed because he truly expected her to accept his proposal, but she tried to be fair to him. So, he reached out his hand to hold hers and kissed the back of her hand.“Baby, it’s okay if you haven’t loved me. I can live with that.”“No, it’s unfair.” She insist

They’re on the way here.”“Okay,” Jacob said calmly. “Let me know if all is good. Good job of contacting the fire department!” Then he ended the call.Having a fire accident in summer was normal, so he thought a little about it.

However, he stopped because of Harold’s words.“Her first hello was the fire.” Harold chuckled because Gwen’s idea was splendid. “I guess you must admit she has a creative mind.” Then he walked away.Jacob turned his body to talk to Harold, but the man talked with someone else. He couldn’t make a fuss because they were at a gala dinner. Many people were near them too. Besides, he didn’t have any p

She looked radiant and peaceful.He missed her more than he wanted to admit, but it was shocking to see her pregnant. Was Gwen right? Was Emily pregnant with another man’s baby? What if it’s his?His thumb caressed her face in the picture. Then he tried to analyze the surroundings. It could be everywhere because nothing was unusual he could recognize to help identify the place. However, his mind wandered to what Harold said.It was obvious Gwen and Harold knew each other. It was possible Gwen worked for Harold. Also, Emily used Montgomery’s Express on the day she ran away. Was Emily with Harold? Could it be that the baby was Harold’s?

Then he forced a smile. “It’s okay if you don’t want to marry me now. Maybe you want to enjoy your time alone first.”But then Emily shook her head. “No.” She held both of his hands. “I want to make you the happiest man, Jacob.

The offer is fifty trillion with fifty years of credit and a trillion of payment each year and a trillion for the down payment,” Jacob said.Harold whistled to hear the number, but he knew with various businesses the Gold Cleaner had, fifty trillion was a reasonable price. “Anyone in your team want to enter our boat?”“Nope, they are happy with us.” He was smiling when saying it. “So, it will be purely a facility, land, building, systems, and the networks we will sell and transfer to you.”

It was an unforgivable act because Stanley’s betrayal cost Art’s life.Jacob’s eyes were chilly when he gazed at Stanley. “You told us earlier that Gold Cleaner is your family and will stay like that.
