Chapter 111

Andreas' POV"They're so stubborn." Arnold, my long-faced secretary, complained after meeting with the representative of the company that was in the proposal stage.I sighed heavily, my chest feeling a bit tight because of them. "Yes, they are a bit difficult to deal with." They got me involved in a lot of deals that I needed to give them.I know that in business, I have to be ready to make a lot of offers that make business partners interested, but making offers also requires a lot of thought. I couldn't just give them an offer without thinking about the losses I'd face.Because of that, I thought more that negotiating in business is not an easy matter, but this kind of thing is better compared to my other problems. The difficulty with work was certainly easier when compared to the difficulty felt by the burden on my heart.Arnold kept pace with me. He just kept a few steps behind me. "But it's fortunate that we reached an agreement together quickly, so they didn't trouble us any lon

Chapter 122

Andreas’ POV"You should have lunch first, sir. It's already 3 pm, and you still haven't stopped yet." Arnold's voice spoke in a rather irritating tone. He sounded both tired and frustrated looking at me.This wasn't the only time I'd heard him remind me to eat. It was God knows how many times I'd forgotten. He kept going back and forth from his place to my room to deliver files that needed to be signed, show me reports that needed to be checked and outline the rest of my schedule."Yes," I replied to get him to stop babbling further. My head was already busy enough with the various things I needed to do, and I didn't want to be burdened with his equally annoying ramblings.I deliberately didn't look at him because I didn't want to see the annoying expression on his face. It would further worsen my situation and disturb my emotions. He can be more annoying than James sometimes, but no one can match her work performance, so I don't want to replace him with someone else, even though he

Chapter 113

Andreas’ POV"There's still time before the flight. You sure you don't want to do it at the nearest hospital?" Arnold had been watching my movements with his hawk-like eyes for some time now.He kept complaining since early this morning. I don't know when he woke up, but when I started blinking, I already saw him standing guard in front of me. Arnold said he found me on the floor in an unconscious state, and after that, he immediately contacted the doctor to treat me a few hours ago.As far as I remember, I went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night with a very dry throat, and even though the temperature in my room was quite cold, I left the air conditioner on. Then I walked out to get some water, after which I don't remember anything else.I didn't feel any specific pain, so I didn't think that I would suddenly collapse. I shook my head and kept walking towards the airport. "No need, there's not that much time." I couldn't miss my flight in order to arrive on time. This proje

Chapter 114

Vanessa's POV"What is that guy really doing? Why is it so hard to reach him?" I planted my feet on the floor, pushing my chair around as I flopped back against it helplessly.Andreas is annoying!I didn't understand what he was thinking at all, why he who promised to take care of everything for our togetherness had suddenly become unreachable like this.I slammed my hands together on the table. "Doesn't that guy know how crazy I've been waiting to hear from him here? Doesn't it occur to her that this attitude of hers could get me in trouble?" I let out a heavy breath from my chest.I had mixed feelings, I was upset, and I was worried about how he was doing since he didn't tell me at all. I was afraid that he was going through a difficult situation and again not telling me and facing it alone directly. I was dreading the thought of him, not even knowing that I was busy thinking about him here.I groaned helplessly, dropping my body to rest on the table. "I miss him..." I spoke softly,

Chapter 115

Vanessa's POV"After this, we meet with the marketing team around 3 pm. So we still have to go back to the company." Jesse opened my schedule that he had recorded in his tab.I, who walked ahead of her, could still hear her clearly because I stopped in front of the elevator. "Alright, we'll head back to the office then." I went inside as soon as the elevator doors opened.Thanks to my busy schedule these past few days, my mind, which was previously grumpy at Andreas, finally took a break from thinking about him, although not completely. I still thought about her a few times a day, but not as badly as when I had free time.Because I was busy, I was required to be productive. I thought about many things, visited many places and engaged in social interactions that were certainly more draining than when I was working behind a desk, checking incoming files, thinking about projects to be developed and all sorts of things that were done in my room, of course.Usually, at night, I think about

Chapter 116

Vanessa's POVJesse came over to me and grabbed my wrists, pulling them back. He whispered near my ear, "You need to calm down, miss. Don't fall for his words."I tried to calm down. I tried to control myself since I was tired from work and had to go back to work again, but him. That man made my patience that I was trying to maintain fall apart. I didn't want to show respect and be polite in front of him.I gave him a sharp look, walking towards him, emphasizing that I wasn't intimidated by his words. "You don't know anything about us, but you talk as if you do." I furrowed my brow. "Do you think you're better than him?"He nodded, looking at me indifferently. "Of course, I'm better than him. You shouldn't compare me to him." He spoke calmly, addressing me like he was an expert when it came to speaking.I hated the calmness she showed, as well as the patience she had shown in the past when dealing with me. He made me feel like I was the guilty one while what he said was true. George

Chapter 117

Vanessa's POV"Andreas?" my eyes opened wide to see the name written there simply without any words, but it had my entire attention on it.I blinked my eyes and checked once more. Didn't I see it wrong? I was sceptical that Andreas had sent the flowers. But when I looked again, he actually had his name written there. My lips twitched into a restrained smile.The confusion and annoyance I felt earlier somehow disappeared from inside me and only left a warm sweetness in my chest. Is this what it feels like to fall in love again? This is how it feels when there's not just hope from the person you love, and that person shows their effort towards you.Yes. Andreas is not the type to hide his love. He tends to be reckless in showing and expressing his feelings. It's just that this time is different. This time, it was even more special because I had missed her for so long because I had held myself back and bottled up my feelings for her."So, are you going to throw away the flowers?" Jesse's

Chapter 118

Vanessa's POVWhat the hell is going on?Why does this seem so unreal? Am I dreaming right now?I shook my head, then tried to slap my cheeks without taking my attention away from Andreas, who was currently still kneeling in front of me. I was afraid that this was a dream if I momentarily switched and made him escape my sight, but if this wasn't a dream, why was it so unreal? Suddenly Andreas, who couldn't even tell me the news, appeared with a ring box in his hand and proposed to me.There's no way this is real, but I wasn't asleep earlier. I'm in a fully conscious state. What's really going on? Is this a manifestation of my imagination?"Miss?" Jesse's voice jolted me. Suddenly, I glanced again at her. I don't know when she appeared there when only a few moments ago I saw her upstairs doing something for tomorrow, but now she's just downstairs. Has she finished organising my schedule for tomorrow? It can't be that fast.I wrinkled my forehead to look at him. "What are you doing here

Chapter 119

Vanessa's PoV"Dad... mom?" I was startled and pulled Andreas behind me, my eyes rounding on them.What is this? Why are my father and Maria suddenly visiting my office simultaneously? Why they arrived at the most inopportune time for me, yet the most suitable time for them, was getting in the way of my relationship with Andreas.I tightened my grip on Andreas' arm, ignoring the gazes of the others, except for my father and Maria. My eyes only watched their movements and the changing expressions on their faces. "You can't do anything to Andreas." I lashed out at him. This time, I wouldn't let him say anything to him.I wouldn't let any harsh words directed at him hurt him. I regretted not being able to do something about it, not being able to defend him from his father's scolding and making Andreas take all the blame himself, making him such a pathetic figure. I knew he was hurt at that moment, but he persisted and stood there while placing me behind him so that only he was being star

Chapter 120

Vanessa's POVI put my phone down on the table in annoyance. It had only been a day since Andreas proposed to me, and now all the media were busy creating their articles and making me the topic of their conversation on various platforms.As if Andreas and I were their hot catch, everyone talked about me with various comments and opinions. Of course, I didn't expect everyone to agree with what we were doing. I didn't expect them to accept it. I had also expected negative comments on our decision, and I prepared myself for that. Even so, I was still annoyed. I didn't expect that there would be that many people interested in talking about topics about other people, even though they didn't know them personally.Suddenly, I felt like I was a celebrity and that something about him could be the talk of the whole country. I didn't expect being a businessman, even his personal life, didn't escape the talk of the people.I shifted my gaze towards the doorbell ringing, noticing Andreas, who had
