"I'll keep trying and get that contract signed as soon as I can." That was all Zara could promise then.Stefan gave her a long look and then nodded. "Make it quick.""I will." Zara turned to leave. Stefan's voice stopped her, however. "I'm taking away your bonus for the month."Zara had to bite her tongue to stop herself from cussing out Leah in her head!She left the CEO's office, feeling like she had a lump in her throat. She had worked for years without ever losing a bonus. This was just her first month at Schmidt Group! Not only had she failed to land the contract, but she had also become the latest office gossip. It seemed like things were only going to get tougher from here.It took Zara a while to calm down and steady her nerves. She wanted a drink of water, yet her water bottle was empty. She got up and headed to the break room.The break room, like the bathroom, was always buzzing with rumors. As Zara got closer, she overheard two colleagues chatting."That's Ms. Nox

Yaxley's eyebrow shot up, and he replied without missing a beat, "Of course. You're my cousin, aren't you?""Remember what you promised today." Leah hung up. Yaxley stared at his phone, half annoyed, half amused. Who could possibly bully her?Leah was her parents' only treasure, their darling daughter. They loved her more than anything. Anyone who messed with her would have to answer to them....In the evening, Zara was scrolling through her phone on the way to the subway.Cecil was texting her, curious about her new job.Zara was feeling down and told her all about her rough day. Cecil's temper flared up like a match to a fuse, and she ranted about Leah non-stop before finally ending with a verdict: [Seems like anyone who falls for Yosef has a screw loose.] It was just like Beatrice, Leah, and… Oops? Cecil caught herself and added: [Except you, of course.]Zara's lips twitched. [No need to make exceptions. I was pretty messed up before too.]Cecil shot back: [Everyone mee

Zara said flatly, "Mr. Webb, I've got to catch the subway, so I'm heading off."She started to walk away, but Yosef did not try to stop her. A few steps later, the honking behind her became relentless. They were like invisible ropes trying to pull her back.Zara's steps slowed to a halt, her heart racing with a feeling she could not quite name. She turned to look back.Yosef was still standing by the roadside, bathed in the glow of a streetlamp that draped him in a soft light.Zara figured the drivers who were getting blocked had not lost their cool completely because the license plate was special and Yosef looked anything but ordinary.With a determined bite of her lip, she walked back, opened the car door, and climbed in.Yosef's lips curved into a small smile as he got in too, and the car finally roared to life.The driver asked, "Mr. Webb, where to?"Yosef said coolly, "That's up to Zara." Zara had to pull up the map herself. She handed her phone to the driver, who set it

It was Nina from the office who told Zara.She said Leah went to hang out at a bar with some friends after work yesterday. Suddenly, the music stopped, the bright lights came on, and police officers showed up.Everyone thought it was just a regular check for banned stuff or fire hazards, but a lot of people were crowded around one of the private rooms. Curious, Nina pushed through the crowd and saw them helping a woman out.The people watching said the woman was drunk and someone had been mean to her.The woman kept her head down, her hair hiding her face. Her head was buried in her clothes, so the others could not see who it was. Nina, however, recognized her clothes.Leah had been wearing that same outfit when she came to cause trouble at Schmidt Group yesterday...Zara was shocked.She did not like Leah's weird behavior and the scenes she caused. Even so, she had never wanted anything bad to happen to Leah, especially not like what happened last night.Did Yosef not tell Cha

Zara slid two of the photos forward."These two seem a bit familiar. They stopped me on the street last night after work, asking if the Brite building was nearby." The officers did not show any reaction but pulled out another photo. It was a photo of those two men asking her for directions. "They just showed you their phones to ask for directions?"Zara nodded. "That's right.""If it was just for directions, why did you try to stay out of the surveillance cameras' view?""Trying to avoid the cameras?" Zara blinked in surprise. "I wasn't hiding. I was on my way to the subway station when they stopped me around the corner, so we stopped to chat. This isn't a hidden spot, is it? The main road is just a few steps away."The officers stayed quiet.Zara bit her lip. "If I was really trying to dodge the surveillance camera, it wouldn't have caught me, right? But it did, didn't it?"The male officer replied, "It did, but the video is blurry, and it looked like you guys were trying to

Yaxley listened, his face a mix of emotions. He was trying to decide if he could trust Zara.Zara took a deep breath and said clearly, "Ms. Nox, you think I'm against you because of Yosef."But I broke up with Yosef over six months ago, and I've never thought about getting back with him. Not before, not now, not ever. So, I don't see why I'd consider you a rival in love."Right when Yosef walked into the police station with Charvi, he heard Zara's strong words.He stopped, looking at her with a deep, dark gaze.They stood at opposite ends of the hallway. Zara looked past Leah and Yaxley and met his eyes, her heart skipping a beat.She did not lose her cool and went on, "Also, Morter Corp just pushed back our meeting. They might still work with Schmidt Group, so you can't say you wrecked my deal. No deal wrecked, no grudge."And lastly, I'm just a regular employee and have no backer. You have the Nox family and the Lark family. Why would I mess with you and get myself into troubl

"I didn't do it."Zara had lost count of how many times she had said those words in the last hour."I wouldn't do something like that. Even if I did do it, I wouldn't leave a trail of breadcrumbs for the police to follow."Yosef's expression, which had been kind of stern, relaxed a bit as he let out a soft huff. Zara could not tell if he actually believed her or not. She clicked her seatbelt back into place, not really trying to make him believe her. She texted Shelby: [Hey Shelby, can you chat later? I ran into some trouble. Let's talk on the phone.] Shelby did not text back right away. Yosef, not showing much emotion, asked Charvi to drive and casually asked, "Do the Nox folks know what's going on?" Charvi answered, "Yeah, they know, but they're on vacation in Newland. It'll take them a while to get back, so they've left Mr. Lark in charge of everything." Zara wanted to know more and leaned in a little. "Charvi, didn't you go looking for Leah last night?" Charvi peeked a

Shelby felt the heat from Harper's body and could not help but grip the floor with her toes. She whispered, trying to push him away, "Stop it... This is about Zara.""What's up with Ms. Lowry now?" Harper asked, sounding like he did not really care. He gently pushed her shirt collar aside and kissed her neck. "Didn't she head over to the Schmidts of Westwood? How could she cause any trouble?"Shelby's neck was sensitive, and she shivered when Harper's lips touched her skin. She pushed against his chest, trying to focus. "What do you know about the Nox family of Sylverton?""Yaxley's aunt and uncle?" he asked."Yes."Harper shrugged. "I think they have just one daughter. They got her late in life and spoiled her rotten. She's running some project for Yosef now, right?"Looking up, he started putting the pieces together. "Wait, is Ms. Lowry in trouble with the Nox family this time?"Shelby did not answer. She was finding it hard to talk.Harper gently pushed her back onto the bed

The secretary looked down and handed over a bag."Thanks for your hard work. I'll give you a raise next year," Harper said, accepting the bag and shutting the door.The living room was softly lit by a circle of lights. Harper spotted Shelby's bag tossed aside on the couch.She usually brought work home and kept her bag in the study, locked in the safe. Today, she was swept up in his embrace as soon as she walked in. Her clothes were shed along the way, and she had not managed to put her bag away.Harper glanced upstairs. Seeing no one, he opened Shelby's bag and found a box of pills.He pulled out the blister pack, noting that two rows were already gone.He was doing all the hard work, and here she was, taking birth control?He pulled out a strip of medicine from the bag he had just received and snapped off two rows. He checked to make sure they matched her medicine perfectly before slipping them into Shelby's box.Harper's lips curved into a smile after he made the swap. He cl

Zara did not want any trouble, so she quickly wrapped up the call. "Thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Lark. I've got it under control. It's late, so you should head home and get some rest."She hung up, but in a flash, Yosef yanked her out of the room and pinned her against the wall.Instinctively, Zara pushed against his chest. "Yosef!"With one hand on the wall and the other lifting her chin, Yosef's presence was intimidating. "Do you always talk about stuff like this? Have I never helped you? Didn't I help you out at the Hoster family's estate? What about the incident at Epitome Gastronomy? And your mom's artificial heart, didn't I help with that?"Zara turned away, breaking free from his grip. "Those were Mr. Lark's words. If you have a problem with that, you should take it up with Mr. Lark. What's it got to do with me?"Yosef did not respond to her comment but looked straight into her eyes. "Think back a little. When you were in trouble with debt collectors, wasn't I there to he
