All Chapters of My Annoying Roommate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

When Howard and I entered the meeting room, only a few board members were present—Dr. Michael Raymond, Omar Tyson, Sophia Carter, and Derek Vaughn.Since most of the major shareholders were in this room, we began without delay.As I made my way to the CEO’s chair, I noticed the subtle shifts in their expressions. Omar’s brows furrowed, Sophia’s lips parted in barely concealed surprise, and Derek, ever composed, merely adjusted his glasses. Only Michael and Howard remained unaffected. Until now, only a select few had known the truth about my existence.Once seated, I turned to Mr. Derek Vaughn, our legal advisor. “Mr. Vaughn, please start the meeting.”Derek nodded, flipping open a file. “The issue we are facing is the sudden acquisition of Tyto Corp shares by an unknown entity. Based on the transactions traced so far, we believe that the purchases are being made through offshore accounts and intermediaries. Howeve

The moment Haze and Mr. Howard disappeared into the building; Cain let out a low whistle beside me.“Well, that was unexpected,” he muttered, but this time, there was something different in his voice. Amusement. Intrigue. A flicker of excitement.I glanced at him. “What?”He grinned slightly, rubbing his jaw. “I was already interested in her, but this? This just made her a thousand times more interesting.”I rolled my eyes. “Cain, you just confessed to liking her. You don’t have to act like she’s some unsolved mystery.”“That’s the thing, though.” He turned to me, eyes gleaming. “She is a mystery. And I like mysteries.”I exhaled, shaking my head. “Let’s just go to your office.”He led the way, walking with a slight spring in his step that hadn’t been there before. Unlike me, who was still trying to process the shock of se

The air was thick with anticipation as Ethereal Reverie unfolded under the dazzling lights of the grand venue. It was the biggest fashion event of the year, a gathering of the most influential designers, models, critics, and journalists from around the world. The energy was electric, a mixture of excitement and curiosity buzzing through the elegantly dressed attendees.Among the distinguished guests, Richard found himself slightly out of place, yet undeniably captivated. He hadn’t planned on attending, but Katy had worked her magic, successfully convincing him. Now, standing among the elite of the fashion world, he marveled at how much had changed. His writing career had flourished—his novel was gaining traction, his articles receiving widespread recognition, and he and Katy had even started co-writing pieces for fashion blogs. Today, however, he wasn’t just a journalist; he was here as Katy’s partner, experiencing this world through her eyes.

I stood at the bar, my fingers absently swirling the contents of my drink. The buzz of the event, the laughter, the clinking of glasses, all seemed distant to me. I had been dragged here by Katy—again. While she thrived in this world, surrounded by designers, models, and critics, I felt like a fish out of water. I was a writer, a man who preferred the quiet hum of my thoughts, not the noise of high society.Kathy was beside me, with her eyes scanning the crowd as she sipped her champagne, clearly in her element. She was dressed to impress, as always, effortlessly catching the attention of anyone who happened to look her way.Kathy: “Richard, look over there.”She nodded subtly toward a figure across the room. I followed her gaze, and immediately, my attention was pulled to Haze. Standing tall in her celestial-blue gown, Haze drew every eye in the room. It wasn’t just the dress—it was the way she carried herself, confident y
