Caraline held her breath for a moment, quickly closing her eyes because she didn't want to see the show on TV. It was annoying, why did her time with Deric have to be spent watching horror movies?"Oh my." Caraline hurriedly released her grip on Deric's waist, then scooted to the end of the chair. She was so scared and surprised that she accidentally hugged Deric. It was embarrassing, but she liked it."Why do we have to watch a shitty movie like this?" Caraline covered her face with a pillow. She peeked at the TV for a moment, then turned to Deric."Are you afraid of horror movies?" asked Deric without looking at the TV screen, "I can change it if you want."Caraline snorted in annoyance. Deric seemed to be insinuating. "I-I'm... not scared. It's just that I thought we could watch another movie."Deric turned his head with a chuckle. "You must be scared.""Stop it. You're making the atmosphere even creepier.""Let me guess, you must like comedy genre movies?" snapped Deric."Don't ta

To make her plan a success, the first thing Caraline did was move her bottles to the center of the table. After that, she pretended to drink her chocolate milk until it was the same as Deric's. The next step was to exchange the man's drink for hers. However, she had to put the bottles together first. That way, Deric wouldn't suspect that the drinks were switched.Caraline let out a long breath as her plan succeeded. A smile spread across her lips. In the dimly lit room, her face seemed to glow with happiness mixed with tension. "This way Deric and I will be kissing each other indirectly," she murmured."Did you enjoy the movie?" asked Deric as he turned his head."Of course," Caraline replied. She quickly grabbed a pillow, covering half of her face. However, when she looked at the screen, a scary-looking creature with blood flowing suddenly appeared. She was so frightened that she hugged Deric again.Caraline pretended to be closed during the hug. She deliberately hugged Deric quite s

Luck was on Caraline's side as Deric was back in his original position. She could get back into the action. Caraline couldn't afford to be so reckless that she lost focus. When she was about to hug the man, she had to make sure that Deric was in position.Caraline couldn't help but watch the movie again. Even though she had reached half of the story, she didn't understand the story at all. She was only focused on finding a moment to hug Deric, and that was even more difficult after what happened earlier. Time crawled quickly. The movie was boring. Eventually, Caraline began to feel sleepy. She yawned a few times, leaning her back against the back of the chair. Her eyes felt heavy until she finally fell asleep.Caraline's face landed on Deric's shoulder. Her arms reflexively embraced the man's body. The corners of her lips lifted perfectly. It felt so good that words could not describe it. This was the first time she had ever done something like this with a man.Caraline woke up a few

Caraline was stunned with her gaze fixed on Deric who was still swinging on the tree branch. The woman wanted to see Deric in his current state longer, but she didn't want to make Deris suspicious and think anything.Caraline quickly turned around. "Damn, I forgot to bring my phone.""Are you willing?" asked Deric."I-I... don't want to do a sport that makes me look as dirty as you," Caraline snapped."Well," said Deric, "your little hands definitely won't be able to lift your body weight even once.""What?" Caraline reflexively turned around. For the second time, she was treated to the sight of Deric's sweat-soaked upper body. It was so annoying, it was hard to keep her eyes off of it.Deric laughed, continuing his pull-ups. "Get ready, to go to the office.""You have no right to order me around!" Caraline folded her arms across her chest, keeping her eyes on the surface of the lake while occasionally watching Deric's movements. "Wait a minute," she muttered.Caraline tucked a lock o

"You almost fell over when you were trying to do pull-ups. Do you remember?"Caraline closed her eyes, massaging her forehead lightly."Can you get off my wheelchair? I can't hang from this tree forever."Caraline quickly got out of the wheelchair and walked towards the fence. Her gaze occasionally turned to Deric. "Why does it have to end this quickly?"Deric flung himself into the wheelchair. The landing was perfect. He tried to stabilize his breathing, which was labored from the exercise. "That was fun. We can do it again later."Caraline quickly straightened her back. Her lips couldn't contain the explosion of happiness. A smile appeared despite her best efforts to prevent it. Her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid it would explode. For the past few days, she had been driven crazy by a man named Deric."Deric likes it. Does that mean he'll do it again with me?" Caraline patted her heated cheeks. "What should I do now? It looks like I'm going to have to tone down my gang

"Don't ever dare to peek," Caraline reminded Deric before the act. The woman let out a long breath, stroking her suddenly pounding chest. It's not that hard, Caraline. Isn't this what you always wanted? she thought to herself.Caraline started by drying Deric's face. She moved slowly with her gaze fixed on the man. She took this opportunity to gaze at all the sculpted features of the man with the blue bead. What a perfect masterpiece God had created. Eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheeks, everything was flawless.Caraline let out another long breath as her hands move toward Deric’s neck. When her fingers accidentally touched the surface of Deric's skin directly, she reflexively moved the towel away from the man's body. However, it wasn't long before she was back in action."No peeking," Caraline pleaded as she adjusted her suddenly irregular breathing pattern."Fine," Deric replied."Don't talk back to me. I don't want to hear your voice at a time like this. You should consider yourself

"Henry Hulbert?" Caraline sat back on the couch and placed the remote on the table. Her focus was on the television screen. "Isn't he the Vice President of Universe Corporation? I'm surprised that he'd want to be on screen."Caraline turned up the volume on the television, leaning her back against the chair. "I can't miss this.""How are you, Mr. Henry?" the host asked with a bright smile.The tall, handsome man replied with a faint smile, "Fine.""You look even more stunning than what I've seen on the internet and in magazines," teased the woman host in brown, "my body hasn't stopped shaking until now."Henry Hulbert chuckled softly. The screen switched to the female audience. They applauded and chanted the man's name."Mr. Henry, thank you for your time on our show. Can you tell us what you've been up to lately?""I spend more time with work than on personal matters. But, to be honest, I like what I'm doing now. Right now, my team and I are busy with business expansion to the blue c

The sound of clapping and screaming could be heard on the screen. Henry Hulbert smiled as he glanced at his watch. On the left side of the screen, a column containing comments from netizens was deliberately displayed."Mr. Henry, can you name the President of Universe Corporation?" the host asked.Henry Hulbert shook his head. "I can't tell you because it's about his privacy.""What about the initials of his name? Can you tell us?" The host shifted his seat slightly forward."Tell us!""Tell us!""Tell us!""Tell us!"The studio audience shouted the words in unison while clapping their hands. Realizing this, the host stood up while encouraging with hand gestures. Henry Hulbert just laughed while looking at the enthusiasm of the audience."Do viewers and netizens at home want to know too?" the host asked, "if so, you can leave your comments on our show profile page."Shortly after, the show went to a commercial.Caraline chuckled. "This show makes me curious and annoyed at the same tim

Caraline and Helen's gazes fell on the same spot. The two women immediately broke their gaze. There was a momentary awkwardness."That's a pretty easy code to crack," Caraline said."You're right," Helen agreed, "I'm going back to my room."Caraline nodded briefly, flipping back to her phone. The article about Henry Hulbert's impressions and the code the man had given became a hot topic that topped the national news in no time. Several news websites and even videos used it as content to attract as many readers and listeners as possible.Caraline let out a long breath, trying to get the subject of the President of Universe Corporation out of her mind. She was just as curious as the viewers. However, she had no idea who the man was.Caraline ran her fingers through her hair. When she saw the palm of her hand, she remembered what happened this morning. Her body suddenly shook as if she felt the tension when drying Deric's body. Her intention to check the file sent by Helen was lost."God

Caraline rolled her eyes, smiling slightly. "I don't think I'm the only one curious about him. The news about the Universe Corporation President's figure made it to the top of the news today.""You're right." Diego nodded. "I'm honestly curious about that too. I heard that only a few people were able to meet him in person.""Did Henry Hulbert not tell you about him?" Caraline asked."Not at all. I think it's a privacy thing." Diego leaned back in the chair, giving Helen a brief wink."You stay here, Helen," Caraline said, pulling Helen's hand away. Her gaze was still fixed on Diego. She knew what that brief wink meant.Helen, who had half stood up, sat back down.There was a moment of silence as Caraline and Diego's gazes fell on each other."How was your weekend?" Diego asked, leaning back in the chair."I enjoyed my weekend," Caraline replied as she envisioned the moments she had spent yesterday. Starting with the arrival of Deric's three brothers, Catherine and Wilson's visit, the
