Kelly understood these principles well. After giving it some thought, she started to calm down. As Summer had pointed out, while there were plenty of men with impressive qualifications, finding someone who would treat her well was of utmost importance."I understand. I'll wait and see then."With Kelly's spirits lifting, Summer felt relieved and proceeded to share the second piece of good news."Actually, I have another thing to tell you. Remember when you asked me to help you find a job?"At Summer's reminder, Kelly remembered she had been unemployed since returning to Rosseera City. As such, she asked Summer to help her look for a job.Now that Summer had brought it up, Kelly felt hopeful and quickly inquired, "Did your husband arrange it for me?""It's all set, but it wasn't my husband who arranged it. Zach took care of it."Kelly was taken aback to learn that Zach had arranged it. Hadn't she specifically mentioned wanting to work at Quigley Group? If Zach was involved, did t
Summer inquired, "What changed? Weren't you just keen on finding a suitable blind date? Why the sudden agreement?""Don't be ridiculous. Why would a remarkable woman like myself rush into marriage? Right now, my focus is on building my career and financial stability. Blind dates can wait."Kelly was now in high spirits. Why had she never been in a relationship? That was because she always held the belief that a strong, independent woman didn't need a man. Moreover, she was confident in her ability to earn money and lead a fulfilling life on her own terms.Kelly was resilient and self-assured, so finding a partner was not a pressing concern for her.Kelly appeared much calmer now, no longer perturbed by the news of Zach and Yolanda. She lay on the bed with a blissful expression, seemingly consumed by the happiness brought on by the job offer.Two days passed, during which Kelly settled into her new role at Myers Corporation with Zach's assistance. Initially unfamiliar with the wo
Summer couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. Was Felicia's death truly a suicide?"James, have the police confirmed it as suicide? Do you think this is likely?""She committed suicide," James said matter-of-factly as if he had witnessed Felicia's death with his own eyes.But Summer couldn't reconcile this with what she knew of Felicia. Despite her family's financial woes, Felicia was resourceful and had a knack for making money. It seemed unlikely that she would resort to suicide."James, do you have evidence to support that conclusion? We can't make assumptions about a person's life without proper investigation," Summer insisted."She liked Zach. When she couldn't handle his rejection, she killed herself."Upon hearing James' explanation, Summer found it difficult to comprehend. Felicia was the one who had left Zach initially. Now, because he had feelings for someone else, she couldn't bear it and resorted to suicide? It seemed absurd.James stepped forward and p
Seeing Summer like this, James was taken aback and asked, "Summie, what's wrong?""James… I-I made a mistake! I made a mistake!"James understood the weight of Summer's words. She likely felt culpable for Felicia's death, believing that her intervention led to the tragic outcome. If it weren't for her, Zach and Yolanda wouldn't be together, and Felicia wouldn't be dead. Summer felt responsible for Felicia's death. The burden weighed heavily on her heart, her chest tightening with each passing moment. Waves of guilt and fear washed over her, consuming her thoughts entirely."I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Felicia… It's all my fault." Overcome with emotion, Summer collapsed to her knees, her tears flowing freely as they blurred her vision.Summer couldn't understand why she felt so distraught. Logically, she shouldn't have been affected by Felicia's death, yet an inexplicable sadness consumed her, gnawing at her emotions like a relentless demon. Her tears flowed uncontrollably. In that
Yolanda was a kind-hearted woman, and even though she and Felicia were rivals in love, she would probably be devastated to find out about Felicia's death. Summer felt uneasy and decided to give Yolanda a call.However, her attempt to connect failed, leaving Summer anxious about the unanswered call."James, do you think Yolanda is okay?" Summer asked James. But even with his vast abilities, James couldn't know everything."Let me call Zach and ask him," James said as he picked up his phone.Zach and Yolanda were a couple now. As such, James believed that Zach would have the best grasp of Yolanda's well-being. Yet, when James attempted to contact him, Zach's phone was switched off, intensifying James' apprehension.Summer felt something was off and asked, "What's going on?""I think something happened to them," James surmised, his hope conflicting with the troubling thoughts brewing in his mind.While Summer grappled with guilt over Felicia's passing, the remorse felt by Yolanda a
Upon receiving the clue about their presence on Greenleaf Road, James wasted no time in driving there with Summer in tow. Despite an exhaustive search, their efforts proved fruitless, and Zach and Yolanda remained elusive.Greenleaf Road, now eerily deserted, was illuminated only by sporadically flickering streetlights, with the occasional passing car adding to the desolate ambiance.Unease gnawed at Summer as she scanned her surroundings, acutely aware of every passing moment. Despite her vigilance, there was no sign of Zach or Yolanda.Doubt crept into Summer's mind as she voiced her concerns, "Are they really here?" "It's uncertain. They could have left already. But the technical report confirms their presence here just ten minutes ago."Considering the time it took to arrive, it was likely that Zach had been present fifteen minutes prior. Although Zach wasn't here, he definitely should be somewhere nearby. Based on the images James received, it was clear that Zach and Yolan
Observing Summer trembling, James discerned her fear and gently rested a hand on her shoulder.James' shoulders were broad and strong. Summer could smell the scent of orchids from his body when she was near. It momentarily calmed her frantic mind. However, Summer found herself puzzled, wondering why James always carried a pleasant scent with him. She couldn't quite identify the fragrance, but it was undeniably appealing. She wondered if he habitually wore perfume. Despite her curiosity, Summer didn't dwell on it too long, as James interrupted her thoughts by patting her on the shoulder and announcing, "Found them."James was right. Roughly 30 feet ahead stood Zach and Yolanda, their figures exuding an air of desolation and loneliness, as if enveloped by sadness. Relief washed over Summer as she hurried toward them."Yolanda, Zach. Thank goodness you're both okay."Yolanda seemed surprised to see Summer. "Summie, why are you here?""I came to look for you guys. I heard about wh
At this moment, Yolanda was especially gentle. When Zach was sitting on the ground, she didn't hesitate to sit down next to him, disregarding the fact that she was wearing a skirt. They didn't exchange any words, but there was a tacit understanding between them.From their current situation, Summer knew that both of them would probably sit there for a while. Perhaps this silent sitting was a way for them to mourn Felicia.Summer also observed a moment of silence before uttering a silent prayer. Even though she didn't like Felicia, paying respect to the deceased was still necessary. After that, Summer and James left.Their purpose was to ensure that Zach and Yolanda were fine. So, after seeing that they were safe and didn't do anything stupid, they felt reassured.Time would heal all sorrow and pain in people's hearts. About a week later, Zach, who had been immersed in grief, gradually recovered, and Yolanda returned to her usual cheerful self. They continued to live their lives lik
