Shelly knew the secretaries revealed the story to her just to make her mad. Since she joined the company, she noticed that the secretaries were rather fond of Paige. She had no idea how Paige charmed them. “Madam is really a happy girl, and the boss treats her so well,” Gloria lamented. Sandra and Margaret nodded in agreement. “The boss really does treat the madam well.” Shelly could not bear to listen to them anymore. Must they talk about how well Chris treated Paige in front of her? “Shelly, do you think the boss treats the madam well?” Gloria asked Shelly with a smile. Shelly replied dully, “I don’t know.” Gloria chuckled. “I guess so. You’re still new. You’ll know when you’ve been here long enough.” Gloria was wrong because Shelly did not want to know at all. After that, Shelly decided to ignore the secretaries and send Joneus a text. Since Chris was not attending the party, she did not want to go as well. She was tired, both mentally and physically. She wanted

The next morning, Chris and Paige woke up early and had breakfast before heading to the airport. At the airport, Paige and Chris met up with Sierra and spotted Randall by Sierra’s side. “Paige.” Sierra greeted Paige with a bright smile. Paige responded with a forced smile and then cast a cautious glance at Chris. As expected, Chris’s expression was pretty unpleasant. Sensing Paige’s gaze, Chris glanced at her coldly. “I have no idea why Randall is here,” Paige quickly explained to Chris in a hushed tone, afraid he would bereave her at the next moment. Chris simply glanced at her coldly and said nothing. Paige was afraid he did not believe her. However, she genuinely had no idea why Sierra was with Randall. At that moment, Sierra and Randall walked up to them and said with a welcoming smile, “Let’s go.” Paige looked at Randall. “Randy, why are you here?” Randall smiled as he said, “It’s been a while since I saw Hannah, so I thought I’d drop by.” Paige was speechles

Sierra looked at Randall and asked, “If you think Chris still loves me, why does he treat me so badly?” She stared at Randall, hoping to get an answer from him. She needed the affirmation that Chris still loved her. “What do you think?” Randall asked as he looked into her eyes. “You betrayed him by cheating on him. Can’t he give you the cold shoulder?” Sierra was silenced. She had been living in regret since the very first day. She blamed herself for succumbing to the temptation and cheating on Chris. She was filled with remorse. “Chris is a man with such high status and power, yet you betrayed him by cheating on him. You should be grateful you’re still alive,” Randall said. Sierra remained quiet. “It’s because he still loves you that he can’t bring himself to hurt you. Otherwise, you’ll be living a life worse than hell,” Randall said. Sierra looked at Randall, seemingly convinced. She believed that Chris still loved her, and Randall was right — Chris still had feelings

Paige had no idea until she heard Chris, and her eyes widened in shock. Then, Chris pounded her harder, making her groan. It got so loud that it reached next door. …Hannah and Norman accompanied Sierra back to her room. It was Hannah who booked their rooms for them, which were three adjoining rooms and all of them suites. After Hannah left, Sierra opened the window and pressed her ear against the wall, listening for sounds next door. At first, it was silent, but she suddenly heard some strange noises. As an adult, she knew what the noise was. She was so furious yet sad that she immediately burst into tears. She knew she should not have eavesdropped for her own sake, but she could not help it. The groans lasted for a while before they quieted down. By then, Sierra’s tears had ruined her makeup, and she sat against the wall, her face buried in her hands as she cried. She was consumed by sorrow and could hardly catch her breath. She hated herself for succumbing to temp

Chris, in a half-asleep state, instinctively pulled her tighter into his embrace. Paige kept her eyes open and listened carefully to the crying, which came in intermittent sobs. Terrified, she clung tightly to Chris, seeking comfort in his embrace. However, the sudden hug woke Chris. He looked at her in his arms, and she seemed scared. Scared? Of what? “What’s wrong?” he asked. His voice startled Paige, making her jump. She looked up immediately and accidentally hit her head on his chin. The collision was loud. Chris grunted painfully. He did not expect the girl to have such a hard skull. Paige looked at him with teary eyes, which baffled him. He was the one whose chin she knocked into, but why was she the one crying? Nevertheless, Chris asked, “Did it hurt?” Paige nodded with her teary eyes. Seeing her exceptionally pitiful look, he gently stroked her head to comfort the girl. Paige blushed at how gentle Chris was to her, which was rare.After a few pats, Chris
