Clarissa was furious when she got home. She threw her purse to the ground in frustration, and as if that wasn’t enough, she began picking up flower vases and hurling them against the wall. The maids stood watching, but none dared say a word."What is going on?" Agnes emerged from her room, looking confused. She glanced at the broken vases, then at Clarissa."Mom, it's that good-for-nothing, ungrateful Dorothy! She humiliated me today!" Clarissa screamed.Agnes walked toward her cautiously."Do you want to sit and talk about it?" she asked gently, taking Clarissa’s hand and leading her to the couch. As she walked away, she turned to a maid and gestured for her to clean up the mess Clarissa had made.Once they were seated, Agnes rubbed Clarissa's back soothingly, waiting for her to calm down before speaking."I was shopping at Florida’s Designs, one of my usual places, and I bumped into that slut! She was with another man, and they were shopping together," Clarissa began angrily. "I ask

After a while, Griffin returned to the corner where he had hidden Chole. She sat on the floor, looking at him without a hint of regret."Is it until you get yourself into real trouble one day then you'll learn your lesson that stealing is a crime?" he asked with a scolding voice.Chole let out a small scoff. "How about you finish what you were doing earlier, you two-faced loser?""Excuse me?" Griffin gave her a confused look."At least you should have told me you were booked for tonight!" Chole snapped, standing up. "You kept me waiting while you were out with some other girl!"It was only then that Griffin remembered Karen. He closed his eyes, silently cursing himself."And I don’t want to stay connected to you, so don’t bother convincing me to keep quiet about your boss’s secret. I won’t say anything," she added, turning to leave but stopping to glance back at him."And next time, don’t chase me again. I stole that money because I was trying to pay you back the debt I owed!" she dec

"Master... Master Kai," Emily stuttered, seeing Kai casually walking toward them. She glanced between Dorothy and him, unable to think of a convincing lie."You're not moving, Emily. The young mistress just told you that you're fired, so start packing your things. Or do you want me to have security give you a special escort?" Kai asked, his tone casual yet serious."Master Kai, I can't leave," Emily said."Why not?" Kai asked dryly, crossing his arms over his chest."Because I love you, Kai," Emily cried. "Don't you see? Everything I've done, the reason I took this job as a maid here, is all because I love you," she added desperately.Kai didn’t look moved by her confession."That's not enough reason for you to still be standing here," Kai said, his tone flat."Mr. Stefan doesn’t know you’re kicking me out," Emily said with a hopeful smile."You should thank God for that. He would’ve done it himself, but it slipped his mind. You think we don’t know you’re working for his mother, Emily

"It's always terrifying," Levi said as he approached Stefan and Dorothy, with Emily by his side. He was dressed in his usual style— the darkest shade of black suit that ever existed and thick black gloves. One hand was free, which he used to hold Emily’s.Emily wore a black dress along with black net hand gloves. She looked different—paler than usual."What is so terrifying?" Dorothy asked, trying to ignore Emily’s weird presence."The red carpet, the cameras, the reporters, and most importantly, the lights," Levi replied, shaking his head. "It's a miracle I escaped the carpet.""What are you doing here, Levi? You're not even a tycoon," Stefan asked, his expression reasonable but firm."I'm not a tycoon, but I have a lot of money, so what does it matter?" Levi rolled his eyes before glancing at the woman beside him. "Sorry for my manners. Meet my date, Emily. I’m sure you already know her."Emily remained silent, making no movement, which made Dorothy question whether she was doing ok

"We have five minutes left," he mumbled to Tristan.Tristan stared at Stefan, wondering why he wasn’t panicking despite being on the verge of losing his company.

Dorothy was speechless—Stefan’s proposal caught her off guard. First Lady of his company? There was no time to process what was happening. From being the unpopular daughter of a family to becoming the First Lady of a wealthy man's company—it felt surreal."Do you think I can do this?" Dorothy asked in a low voice."I think you're perfect for the title, young mistress. You have a way of surprising everyone with your fierce leadership. You'll do just fine," Kai piped in."Thank you so much. I'll do my best to help this company grow, and I won't disappoint you, Stefan," Dorothy said gratefully."You could never disappoint me, love," Stefan replied. He turned to Kai and Griffin, nodding for them to leave."Work starts tomorrow. I'll see you then," he dismissed them.Now, it was just him and Dorothy alone in the office. "Come here," he said, tapping his leg. Dorothy hesitated briefly before sitting on it. She was so small, sitting on one of his legs got nothing on him."How are you feeling

"She was watching porn before her big presentation.""This is so disturbing to watch.""So unprofessional."The boardroom erupted in murmurs. Dorothy frantically tried to shut the video off, but each click only revealed more explicit content."I was just practicing a few minutes ago... everything was fine," she mumbled, embarrassed and confused.Stefan's eyes darkened at the scene unfolding before him. Griffin, standing behind him, stepped forward."The meeting is over for today," he announced.The murmurs continued as the board members filed out, some throwing Dorothy disgusted looks."I'll take that," Kia said softly, gently removing the laptop from her hands. He exchanged a silent look with Griffin, signaling him to leave. The two men exited, leaving Dorothy and Stefan alone in the boardroom.Dorothy stood frozen, unable to meet Stefan's gaze.

Stefan entered the room and found Dorothy sitting on the bed, writing on a sheet of paper. Around her were several crumpled papers, and she looked troubled."Love, what are you doing?" he asked, coming to sit beside her."I'm trying to prepare a startup speech for the presentation, but I can't seem to come up with a good one," Dorothy pouted, tossing the last paper onto the floor.Stefan sighed and sat closer."You don’t have to overwork yourself or prove to anyone that you deserve the title I gave you. Love, you know I don’t play with my business. I wasn’t stupid when I asked you to be my First Lady," Stefan told her.Dorothy bit her lip. He was right—she worried too much about what people thought. Ever since Stefan announced her as First Lady, she had been receiving disgusted looks from women and criticism online."Thank you," she said, smiling in appreciation."Now, will you drop all this and at least eat something?" Stefan asked. Before Dorothy could respond, he added, "If you say

The boardroom was filled with business clients, including Stefan and Dorothy. Each person had a bottle of water, a pen, and a notepad, listening intently to the man standing at the front of the room."And with this idea of mine, I’m sure we can make this company a better place," the client concluded, and everyone in the room applauded."Thank you, Mr. Jay, for the excellent presentation. We will take some of your ideas into consideration," Kia said before opening the large book in front of him. "Next week, Mrs. Dorothy Everest, you will present to us." He said with a strictly professional tone.Dorothy looked momentarily thrown off, but she forced a smile and nodded."That’s all. The meeting is dismissed," Kia announced, and the boardroom slowly emptied.Dorothy, in Stefan's office sighed, lost in thought, until Stefan hugged her from behind."Are you thinking about your presentation next week?" he asked softly. Her silence gave him the answer. "Love, you shouldn’t worry. You’ll do gr

Finn held Dorothy's face as he stared deep into her eyes. "Look at you," he murmured, his deep voice cracking slightly. He admired her for a moment before speaking again. "You look so much healthier this time. Are you all finally getting along?" he asked.Dorothy grinned from ear to ear at the question. She turned back to look at Stefan, and Finn followed her gaze. It was then he realized there were other people in the room, including someone he did not recognize."You should give the credit to my husband, Dad. He took really good care of me," Dorothy replied.Finn froze, his hands dropping from her face."Husband?" His eyes flickered between Stefan and Dorothy. "When did you get married?" he asked, squinting in confusion."Mom didn't tell you I was married?" Dorothy asked, looking unsure.Finn turned his gaze to Agnes. Though his expression remained calm, she knew she was in trouble. He forced a smile before shifting his attention to Stefan, who stood behind them with his hands burie

A knock sounded on Chloe's door, and she opened it with frustration. Seeing Griffin’s face almost made her slam it shut again, but he held it firmly, preventing her from doing so."I wanted to ask how your first day at work went," Griffin said."You're a scam, Griffin! You told me the pay was huge, but guess who's not getting paid? Me!" She yelled the last word, pointing at herself."Why won’t you be getting paid?" Griffin asked, raising a brow."Apparently, I don’t know anything about trading, so they won’t let me join their internship program unless I pay them to learn," Chloe complained."And you think that's wrong?" Griffin narrowed his eyes."Didn’t you hear what I just said? I’m supposed to be making money, not paying them!" Chloe said, exasperated."Chloe, if you're interested in the class, I can lend you some money. At least learn a good skill—you’ll make more than twice what you spent," Griffin offered.She shot him a look. "Why would you want to help me? I don’t owe you anyt

He was tall and dressed in an exceptionally dark suit. His skin was the palest Chole had ever seen, but it only enhanced his striking appearance—especially the silver lip ring that stood out against his complexion."Hi there," he spoke with a slight smile. He probably thought it looked friendly, but instead, it carried a dangerous edge—one that somehow made him look even better."Who... are you?" Chole asked, blindsided by his male beauty."Levi," he replied simply. "I overheard your frustration. You need money, but you don't want to work for it. I understand that, and I can help you.""How?" Chole asked, confused.Levi smiled slightly and pulled his bare hand out of his pocket, stretching it toward her."Take my hand.""Why?" Chole eyed him warily."Trust me," Levi replied, his patience thinning.Chole hesitated, glancing between his hand and his face. "Are you saying you'll give me money?""Try me," Levi smirked."Don't try him," someone said from behind.Chole turned to see Griffin
