Recalling that disruptive moment at the hotel when he attended a business gathering, Terrence's lips curved up slightly. Somehow, he felt happy and proud of his wife for her unintentional distraction. At least she never let him down during that hour using her crafty way.

Kim and Ashley noticed the changes of his face while his eyes darted to oblivion. They cast curious glances towards each other then to the man who was currently lost in his terrain of thoughts but after a few seconds, everything went back to normal.

Terrence faced them both after gathering himself together and curiously asked, "If you sent the wrong file, which one was the right one? Why didn't you sent it again?"

"Ah, ahm..." Ashley couldn't help faltering while speaking. "Actually, Miss Zenith isn't aware of it and I haven't had the chance to tell her about it. I was about to tell her but we ran into another problem yesterday so I pushed it aside for the meantime."

He was currently standing beside the elevator doors and now he was massaging his temples as the liqour's effect he had consumed earlier with Terrence kicked his gut.

The driver replied politely while taking his reward from his client. "Your welcome." Anton muttered before he ascended to the empty elevator. The driver then left. Anton stared at his roo

    Terrence could feel that the doctor was displeased with him. By the looks she was giving him, he was certain that she was really upset but why? 'Could it be that Athena was in a dangerous situation right now?' he thought and his insides felt even more uneasy as he followed her in. He spun his head around and he saw his wife sleeping soundly with a drip attached in her arm. He took a step, about to approach her bed but the doctor's words made him halt. He froze as he felt surprised!. "Mr. Adams, please focus on me so you could take care of her and the baby properly in the future." "You mean the baby, is safe?" he affirmed thinking that he might have heard the physician wrong but the doctor nodded and smiled helplessly at him. "Yes. The baby is safe but I would like to remind you about something, Mr. Adams." The doctor breathed and went, "Your wife's condition is sensitive. If you want the baby to stick in her womb, you better think twice..." He frowned. "Doctor, what do you mean?

    Perhaps Athena enjoyed the process of her make over so much as she didn't notice that she had been sitting in her comfy chair for almost three hours. If not for Vincent who came up to inform them that the car has arrived, she wouldn't realize that her husband has been gone from her sight for a couple of hours already. Curious, she asked the butler. "Uncle where was he?" "You mean your husband?" "Yes. Have you seen him?" "Ah," Vincent smiled. "He went to get the car ready for you and he also left a few instructions." "Instructions?" Her newly trimmed brows raised as she asked. "What instructions if I may ask?" "He said that he won't be here to pick you up and that someone else will do that for him. He will wait for you at the venue, Mrs. Adams." Vincent narrated fluently according to Terrence's instructions earlier. "Since that was the case, please tell the driver to wait for a little bit longer." She said without thinking too much.

Even her pregnancy was being reported to him and he firmly instructed that no matter what happened, the innocent child must be born safe as it has nothing to do with what she has done. Therefore when she suggested for an abortion, the nurse shook her head and refused her request right there and then saying that... "I'm sorry, Miss. We're not abortionists. That was against the law of human and God." Hearing this, Hannah laughed. "Do you think I still care about that goddamn law? Look where I am." She said, "I'm here in jail so why should I give a sh*t about the law?!" "Miss," the nurse sighed helplessly and replied, "...why do you sound like you have lost all your hope? Have you known that you might given the chance to come out if you truly show your sincere repentance? You're convicte

    Ashley felt her knees turning jelly when his cold and dominating voice rang in her ears. 'What was he doing here?' she wondered. The man's oppressing aura was too much for her to bear, turning the usually peaceful atmosphere into tense. However, this was the area that men are strictly forbidden according to the establishment's rules and regulations therefore she has all the freedom to move whether he likes it or not. Moreover, working hours has long been ended after he dismissed her harshly at the office so why was he still barking at her at this hour? As per their agreement, she has to look and obey him as her boss during working hours but not in places like this. This is the moment of her privacy and she had all the freedom to do whatever she wanted therefore she turned around without hesitation and spoke in an ironic manner.

"Aren't you done yet? What took you so long?" Anton asked her coldly. She swallowed hard before she replied. "Y-yes, Mr. Stanford. It was done now." "Put them all in the safe." He barked. "Hurry up! We don't have much time left!" Ashley nodded as she stood up. In one swift, she took all the documents from her table then she scurried out, heading towards the CEO's office.
