The third most luxurious car; after Bryson and Chairman Paul’s car, packed at the Regency Hotel entrance. Porters opened and Sadie got down while Kaylie got out from the other side.

Bryson hurried closer. “Welcome, Mom.” He greeted, smiling.

Kaylie stood beside Sadie, her face lacking enthusiasm. “Good afternoon.”

Bryson withered his face. “What happened?” He showed concern and shifted his gaze to his mother, inquiring, “Did anything happen at home or on your way here?”

“Not at all,” Sadie responded. “She’s just worried the chairman will blame her because Gage didn’t come with us.”

“Don’t worry. Dad won’t be angry at you. He knows it’s impossible to convince. He only wants you to try,” Bryson consoled. “He won’t harsh you, trust me.”

“Do you think I should just go back?” Kaylie whispered. “Maybe he won’t be mad if I’m absent as well.”

“You should stay,” Bryson advised. “Leaving is disrespectful to him. He won’t like that. Just let’s go in,”

He wore a smile to calm her. “And ple

    “Don’t worry, dear. It’s just that time of the month again. He’ll be back soon.” Sadie persuaded, calming Kaylie, whose worry was written all over her face.Kaylie furrowed her face, staring at Sadie’s face, confused. “That time of the month?” She repeated, asking, “what are you talking about, ma?”“That’s how he always left the house anytime between the twentieth to the end of the month,” Sadie explained, and knowing the question that might come next, she added, “no one knows where he goes. The last time the chairman tried investigating, it led to a furious argument.”“But-” Kaylie wanted to talk but didn’t complete her statement since she didn’t want the concern in her mind to reflect in her voice. However, she couldn’t hide the one overwhelming her face when she found out Gage and Richard had left the house at an early hour- before anyone woke up.“They’re done with the meal. Go take your bath and come out so we can eat,” Sadie persuaded, her lips filled with a beam. “You shouldn't

    The third most luxurious car; after Bryson and Chairman Paul’s car, among all the attendees’ cars packed at Regency Hotel entrance. A porter rushed closer and opened the left side door for Sadie while another one hurried to the other side to open for Kaylie.Immediately as Sadie stepped out of the car, Bryson, who had been waiting for their arrival, hurried closer and bent his neck. “Welcome, Mom.” He greeted, smiling.Kaylie walked to their side, standing beside Sadie in her maxi-blue gown. “Good afternoon,” she greeted, her face slightly cast downward with a dull expression.Bryson withered his face, staring at her. “What happened?” He showed concern and before Kaylie could say a word, he shifted his gaze to his mother, inquiring, “what happened? Did anything happen at home or on your way here?”Sadie shook her head. “Not really,” she responded. She faced Kaylie, adding, “she must be sad because she couldn’t convince Gage to be here. She’s afraid your dad will give her a hard time.

    “Hun!” Kaylie was shocked, her widened eyes locked with Gage. Her thoughts tangled in a mix of surprise and wonder.She never expected he would come, and maybe her prayer answered. However, what was he doing? What’s his motive behind the charming presentation of her?Gage’s eyes sparkled, brightening his smile as he waved at her. “Come closer,” he cooed.Kaylie had no idea what was going on and before her mind could process Gage’s words, her feet already obeyed. Her gaze lowered, and she took her steps slowly until she arrived in front of him.His gaze lingered on her face as if he was taking in her intricate details. “She’s the first and only person to ever accept me for who I am,”“She’s the first whose presence makes a significant difference in my life. For this reason, she’s irreplaceable, and for many reasons, I can never trade her love for anything.”He kissed her hand and raised his gaze, staring into her eyes with an admiration that seemed to shine from every pore. “Goddess, I

    “Put me down.” Williams instructed.“Why?” Cohen questioned. “Don’t you want me to be your carrier anymore? Have I offended the young master?”“No,” Williams answered and explained. “You can’t enter the restroom with me on your shoulder. Except…”“Say no more…” Cohen uttered and instantly went to his knees.“What are you doing?” Williams with his eyebrows raised.“I’m doing all I can do to make it easy for the young master to get inside. I want you to comfortably enter the restroom without getting down from my shoulder, so I will crawl in,” Cohen explained.“Hun!” Williams exclaimed and tried to stop him. “Don’t do that.”Williams wanted to get down from his shoulder, but Cohen quickly crawled.“Gosh!” Williams sounded in disbelief. He glanced back at his mother’s face, expecting her to intervene, but seeing a smile on her face made him face his front and direct his words to Cohen. “Why will you do that?”“This is my duty…” Cohen uttered in a cool voice. “You’re my young master and as

    Anna abruptly opened the door and banged in, panting. “Ma! Ma! Ma!” She shouted, running towards Patricia’s desk.Patricia was shocked, and she couldn’t utter a word. Instead, she widened her eyes and watched Anna arrived in front of her desk before she could pull a word out. “What happened?” She asked, the worried in her voice cooperating with the concern in her voice.Anna breathed heavily as she bent her back and placed her hands on her knees.“What happened?!” Patricia raised her voice. She was getting more scared by Anna’s reaction.Anna panted for another second before she raised her hand and stood straight on her feet. “It’s him…” she uttered, but couldn’t complete her statement.She pointed her thumb at her back, crossing it over her shoulder without looking backward. “It’s him…” she continued, struggling to complete her statement but couldn’t.“It’s who?” Patricia asked, with her lips already quivering. “Calm yourself and talk, Anna.

    Kaylie trudged into the room. As she reached the bed, she fell her bottom onto it with a soft sigh. “Oh, my,” she muttered. “Listening to that woman drone on about what I’m not doing is exhausting,”Her gaze drifted to Gage, who had only looked up from his phone when she entered. She shook her head, frustration etching on her face. “My mind was racing with anger. It’s a waste of my time.”Gage dimmed his phone screen and shrugged his left shoulder, his expression empathetic. “Sorry you had to go through that,” he said, his voice infused with understanding. A warm smile crept onto his lips as he tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry, it’ll all be over soon. It’s just a matter of time, right?”She nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes.” She lifted her left hand, revealing a small pill vial. “Here.”His brow furrowed in curiosity. "What's that?" he asked.“Something Sadie gave me,” she replied flatly. “A sleeping pill she wants me to feed you tomorrow morning so you’ll be out unt

    Kaylie slowly opened her eyes, lifting her head from the bed. She turned her head, catching Gage staring at her with a subtle smile. “What are you staring at?” she mumbled, her brow furrowed in a mixture of sleepiness and curiosity. She brushed her hand over her face, yawning, and crawled backward, resting her back against the bed header, her eyes never leaving Gage’s gentle smile.“Gage,” she whispered his name but despite his gaze on her, he didn't respond and his expression was unreadable. Her face scrunched up in concern as she observed him for a few seconds, wondering what was going through his mind. When he still didn't react, she raised her voice slightly, calling out to him again. “Gage.”Gage flinched. “Hun!” A tone fled his mouth, his eyes broadened, shocked. He was miles away, lost in thought and her raised voice caught him unaware, leaving him stunned.She paused for a moment, allowing him to compose himself, before asking, “What are you thinking?”He stared downward and

    “Ta-da, I'm ready!” Kaylie announced, striking a pose with her arms stretched out to the sides and a bright smile.Gage turned around, and his eyes widened in awe as he took in her transformed appearance. “This is... wow,” he stuttered, struggling to find the words to express his admiration.Kaylie had already dressed up, but Gage had asked her to change into something else because the original dress had been a gift from Bryson, and Gage wanted her to wear the one he had given her instead.“You like this?” She asked, still smiling.Gage slowly shook her head. “No…” he gave a simple response. A smile appeared on his face and he raised his voice, confessing, “I love it!”He swiftly steered to her front, gently taking her hand and turning her around to look at her backside as well. He gazed into her eyes, his face radiant with admiration. “You look stunning,” he complimented, his voice filled with sincerity. “We should get more dresses in this style. It suits you perfectly.”“Thank you.”

    Kaylie entered the house in a slow stride, a look of concern etched on her face, and as she arrived in front of the room, Richard came out.He bent his neck. “Welcome, ma.” He greeted.Kaylie was too worried to respond to his greeting. Instead, she let out her worry. “How's he?” She asked. “Is he sleeping?”He nodded. “Yes,” he responded, and Kaylie instantly walked past him, but he stopped her. “He’s asked to be alone, and I think we should respect his wishes and let him have some quiet time.”Kaylie scoffed. “I appreciate your concern, but I think I can handle this. As his wife, let me take care of this.” She made a point and took another step forward, and as she laid her hand on the lever, his words stopped her again.“He said it was because of you.”She slowly turned around, her face furrowed confused, and as her eyes landed on him, she asked, “What are you talking about.”Richard sighed. “I don't have all the details, but from what he told me, it sounds like he's really passionat

    “What’s the difference between here and the atrium?” Kaylie threw a question from behind, slowly taking her steps as she entered the atrium, lightly holding a glass of wine in her right hand.Gage glanced backward at her, and wihtotu saying a word, he escorted her with his eyes until she arrived befoer him.“You were angry because the host and your father lavished praises on Bryson, and left the hall all because you didn’t wnat to hear Bryson’s voice,” she let out, staring into his eyes. “Now, tell me. the hall is just a few steps away from here. isn’t his voice reaching ehre?”“It does,” he answered in simplicity. he avereted his gaze from her, staring at his front. “But I did the least I could. I can’t help hearing his voice since you insist I should say, but I’m not seeing his face,”“That’s the hardest to bear.”She shrugged, exhaling softly. she wore a smile and slightly bent her neck. “Anyway, thanks,” she appreciated.He gazed at her, and knowing what he would say, she instantl

    “Hello,” a smiling lady approached Kaylie. She arrived at their table, stood behind the chair next to Gage, and faced Kaylie, curtsying her head. Good afternoon, ma.”Kaylie slightly bent her neck. “Good afternoon.” She responded, her brow furrowed, staring at the lady with unfamiliarity, a welcoming beam slightly curled into her lips.“How’re you doing, ma?” The lady asked, and before Kaylie could utter a word, she chuckled lightly, saying, “it’s obvious you’re doing great, ma. Your expression says it all.”Kaylie beamed. “Thank you.” She said.“I’m Sofia, from Eon Lumina,” the lady introduced. She took out a business card from her purse, stretched it out to give Kaylie, and waited for Kaylie to skim through it before proceeding. “Eon Lumina is an upcoming modeling company.”Kaylie nodded, showing she was paying attention, even though her eyes were fixed on the card.“I’m the company representative.
