Bianca's heart was beating wildly. She had the urge to run out of the door. Her anxiety reached a maximum as she saw the office door that opened suddenly. Many scenes from horror movies flashed past her mind. A lot of ghost stories happened in offices around midnight. Was she going to encounter one in real life? Bianca began to regret not leaving the office sooner. Why must she stay in the office alone to work overtime? The footsteps got closer and closer, and she trembled more and more violently… A handsome and graceful figure appeared in front of her. The man was dressed in a light-colored suit that made him look like a model. The sculpted features and profound gaze made him look like a marquis in an oil painting. That person was none other than Luke Crawford. Bianca heaved a sigh of relief. She opened her eyes wide in surprise. "Why did you come here?" She knew that Luke was a workaholic. Most of the time, he would get off work later than her. Why did he have the tim
Despite the chilly weather in the night, Luke broke out in a cold sweat when he could not see Bianca. He parked the car by the roadside, and his sharp gaze pierced every dark corner. He thought of many horrifying possibilities. Could someone have abducted her? After all, Wayne Blatt had not been brought to justice. That man would do anything, now that he was forced into a dead end! Luke hurriedly took out his phone and began to dial her number. He did not want Bianca to follow him to the basement parking lot because the place was not well-ventilated. He did not expect her to disappear after leaving her alone for a short while… Luke had just dialed her number when he noticed a frail figure appear at the entrance of the office building. It was Bianca. Luke dashed up to Bianca and hugged her tightly. "Where were you? Why didn't you wait for me?" He roared. He hugged her so tightly as though he wanted to fuse her body with his. Bianca could feel that Luke's body was sha
The moment Bianca saw the notification, she immediately clicked on it. Her mood instantly came crashing down when she read the contents of it! The Galleria was regarded as one of the most well-known department stores owned by T Corporation. They had more than 400 stores, and because of their excellent locations and high-end interior, they had tens of thousands of customers every day. The annual turnover exceeded 100 million dollars. How did it suddenly collapse? The media had eyes everywhere. With such a major accident involving the Galleria, even if T Corporation immediately dispatched their public relations team to deal with the issue, it was impossible to suppress this news.Bianca froze. She called Luke and wanted to ask about the situation, but no one picked up the call. She assumed that he was in an emergency meeting with the management team. One thing that frightened her the most was that there was an unread message on her phone from Rainie. Raini
Many people were crowded in front of the site of the accident, and everyone looked somber. Bianca pushed through the crowd and stared at the ruins of what was left of The Galleria. It was a sea of red under the rubble. The paramedics carried the little girl on the stretcher and placed her on the flat ground. Blood was still flowing, staining the white cloth... Bianca could not see the girl’s face because she was covered with a white cloth, but the little girl seemed to have two pigtails... Judging from her figure, age, and hair, it seemed to fit Rainie's description. Bianca covered her mouth and kept shaking her head desperately, forcing herself not to cry. ‘No, nothing bad would’ve happened to Rainie!’ Rainie was so well-behaved and sensible. She would not leave her just like that! "Rainie, tell Mommy that it’s not you, okay? You told me in the morning that you were going to bring home a bouquet of roses for me. I’ll wait for you to come home… Y
Bianca hurriedly tied up her messy hair and hurriedly left the site, intending to rush to T Corporation. Her eyes were red and swollen, while her black suit was stained with sand, mud, and debris. However, Bianca, who had always been obsessed with cleanliness, could not be bothered to clean herself up now. She was hoping to get a ride to T Corporation. The weather in September was unpredictable as it changed as it pleased. The sun was still shining a moment ago, but the wind suddenly turned violent and stormy clouds followed. The thunder rumbled, and torrential rain pattered against the windows. The rain fell ceaselessly, and the dark sky seemed like it was going to burst at any second. The wind carried the rain while the rain urged the wind like they were chasing one another in a competition. The city was covered by a misty curtain of rain. The weather was already terrible, and because of the accident at The Galleria, there was heavy traffic on the
Bianca’s tears looked like beads of pearls that fell from the corner of Bianca's eyes. Luke leaned over and gently kissed the teardrops at the corner of her eye as he said, "It's okay, I’ll take care of this. I’ve gone through so many life-and-death situations. This won’t knock me down. The worst-case scenario is that I’ll have to start over from scratch. If I become a pauper, you won't look down on me, will you?" Bianca's tears were salty and bitter. He knew that she was worried about him. His woman had always been strong, and her tears at that moment contained fragility, helplessness, and her concern for him. Bianca’s lips were trembling as she grabbed his arm fiercely, saying, "Luke, I'm serious. How are you still in the mood to joke around?" Luke lowered his head and kissed her from the corner of her eye to her lips. "Silly, no matter how terrible the storms are, as long as you’re by my side, nothing else matters. Trust me." His sexy thin lips were lik
Minimal light shone through the dark tomb. The only thing visible was the body of the tall and fierce figure that was seemingly shrouded in spots of light. It was rather peculiar. The man's voice was hoarse like a ghoul’s. "All of the evidence in The Galleria has been destroyed?" The thin but capable subordinate smiled slyly, answering, "Of course, Boss. We’ve been with you for so many years, don't you trust my capabilities? Before choosing to target The Galleria, I did my research and studied hundreds of internal structure diagrams of the commercial buildings under T Corporation. None of them had any major problems, so it was not easy at first. However, during the investigation process, I found a flaw in The Galleria. The Galleria has a flat structure, which has many advantages, but it’s extremely sensitive and the planning must be precise. The initial chief architect of The Galleria was Wesley Jacobson but he suffered a myocardial infarction and passed away halfway through
Leia could not help but break out in a cold sweat. Her door had been specially made. How did Wayne get in? Leia instinctively wanted to shout for help, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her lips were sealed tight by Wayne. Her cry for help became fragmented. The night light in her room emitted a faint green light in the dark, reflecting Wayne's hideous face. It made Leia fear for her life. "You… What do you want from me?" Leia struggled desperately, but she was too weak. "I want… you! My boo, do you miss me?" Wayne was so strong that it seemed like he was crushing her chest and sucking all the oxygen from her mouth. His touch disgusted Leia. However, his skillful teasing gradually turned her on. Leia's pajamas were torn into strips and thrown on the floor. Under the dim light, Leia's tears slipped from her eyes. One could not tell whether it was from joy or humiliation. Ten intense minutes later. Wayne cuddled Leia, feeling
