“You already have a boyfriend?!” Ursa exclaimed as soon as Katherine told her.   “Yes, mom.”   Ursa felt a slight pang in her heart. She wasn’t able to watch over her daughter for 8 years. She didn’t get to experience being confided on by her daughter about her crush or having suitors. And now suddenly she’s told that her daughter already has a boyfriend!   “What’s his name? Is he an old classmate? A neighbor? A workmate? A person from a blind date or dating site? A friend? A friend’s relative?” Ursa shot one question after another.   ‘I should have asked her if she had anybody wooing her. It’s my fault. I still saw her as my little girl.’   Katherine sat by the hospital bed and held her mother’s hand.   “His name is Morris. You could say he’s a workmate. A friend’s soon-to-be relative. And a friend.”   “Morris..”   “

Then suddenly, she felt something poking her from beneath her. Their rhythm was momentarily disturbed as she glanced down. Her eyes went wide in shock. She wanted to get off of him but he held on to her tight, bringing back her lips to his.   She could feel his raging shaft under her, poking her.   ‘Is this the effect I have on him?’   They continued to kiss, his one hand holding her head close to him, the other hugging her. He didn’t dare move his hands or he might touch him somewhere that would shock her.   She finally had the sense to push him gently, stopping their kisses. Their lips have already turned red as well as the skin around their mouth.   She giggled seeing how ridiculous they looked. She hugged him, resting her chin against his collarbone.   However, the raging thing did not subside.   Morris had closed her eyes. Now that h

I seem to have misheard you..” “I said, what if I get a place of our own?” She gasped. “So I heard it right.. Wait.. what? Why?” He rubbed her thumb. “I want to take you to work, and pick you up after. I want to spend more time with you..” She was shell-shocked. ‘Isn’t it too fast? Wait, is it? I know we’ve known each other for a long time and I do want to spend more time with him. But is it really okay? It’s not even a week since we became a couple.’ He didn’t hear any word from her after that. At a red light, he took the opportunity to look at her. He felt guilty for springing up such a proposal on her. He only wanted to be with her.

Days later, the media was buzzing with news and gossip as talks about a member of the great families inheriting a business circulated. Everyone, especially those of the great families have tasked their members to attend the event in order to represent them. This would show that they support the family's decision and congratulate the heir. At the event, politicians and notable businessmen were in attendance as well. It was their opportunity to mingle with the elite and gain connections. The family's relatives were in attendance as well. One of them was the most excited, not because of the heir, but because of his cousin whom she has admired for a long time. Elyse Pascow was all dressed up and ready to head to the event. Her mother, Meraud Pascow had hired a hair stylist and makeup artist for her. She looked at herself in the mirror. "Dear, you look like a princess..Red suits you!"

As the event commenced in The Paragon Plaza, the host acknowledged the arrival of the guests. He had also called Lillian Forrest to the stage who gave a brief history on Forrest Hospital. Then it was Priscila’s turn to speak. She acknowledged the advancement that the hospital has gone through over the years while she was the President. They both expressed their support for the heir. At that moment, the host then called Sterling Atkins to the stage. Applause resounded in the plaza. “Good evening, thank you for coming. As a grandson and son, I’m thankful to them who are also my predecessors. They have guided me all these years and I am grateful for that. Today marks the day of a new leadership but I assure you, that we will always respect our history and stand by it. I am enthusiastic for our future endeavors! Look forward to it!” With that, he toasted to their future success.
