Nothing changed in my life after that. Everything seemed normal as usual, but there was one thing that made me feel like I was stepping into a vast space. I no longer felt suffocated, and the weight that had been suffocating my chest seemed to be lifted. I entered the DnA Property building with a light step, accompanied by a whistle that showed my mood was at its best.Occasionally I returned the greetings of employees spread across several divisions. Most of them I didn't really know. However, because they were wearing DnA Property ID badges, I assumed they were part of my staff.I ignored some whispers that caught my attention as I made my way to the room on the twenty-fifth floor. Was there something wrong with my attitude this morning? I tried to remember. Ah... maybe it was because I had slightly lowered the cold expression that was usually carved on my face. Replacing it with a slight smile and a light greeting.However, is that such a strange thing? Shouldn't a boss greet his e

Maria stared at the food she had just finished making. Occasionally she asked the main gatekeeper if the guests of this family had arrived. Maria had no idea that the woman really existed here.Actually, Maria didn't want to make any food, but she realized that her position here was only that of a butler. The person in charge of taking care of all the needs in this big house, especially the banquets.“They're coming!Fortunately, the glass that Maria was arranging did not slip from her grip. She rubbed her chest slowly. Ordered some of the servants to prepare to serve well even though ... half-heartedly. The first time she met the beautiful woman, Maria felt sympathy. How her love story with her master had to end because of a marriage arranged by the great master.She also thought that the woman who bore the status of Mrs. Roderick Langley was just taking advantage of the opportunity. Unfortunately, time passed with that assumption just broken. It wasn't just Maria who felt how sincer

Evangeline dried her hands after everything was settled. Assisted by Harley in tidying up the somewhat chaotic kitchen area, they were all able to sit back and enjoy the passing of the day. In fact, Evangeline could have done everything herself, but the girl she had only just met, not yet a day old, did not hesitate to get involved in the kitchen sink.She said, “You have prepared us a delicious breakfast. A lunch that makes us reluctant to leave the sofa. Surely it's not just washing dishes, I can't do it?”Not only Harvey, Giselle, and Ursula shared the same task. Evangeline was at a loss for words to refuse and ask them to sit still.“We have to move around a lot, Eva,” Giselle argued with a crisp laugh. In her hand was a vacuum cleaner ready to clean the remaining dirt on the living room floor.Meanwhile, Ursula argued, ”I have to burn the new calories that have entered this body. Blame Eva for serving delicious beef teriyaki today.”Never mind. The three of them are indeed hardhe

I didn't expect you to turn to another man so quickly.I almost dropped the plate I had just washed. I didn't expect there to come a time when I would be alone with a man I didn't want to see again. Although... it's difficult. Since his arrival, I have kept my distance so that we don't greet each other. Occasionally I would only interrupt the conversation with small talk.I tried to normalize myself. I couldn't be affected by his arrival. Out of the corner of my eye, I realized that the man was not far from my back. The small kitchen and the placement of furniture, which was far different from where I used to live, made us quite close.“What do you need?” I asked, trying to calm myself. I didn't want my hands to tremble even though my heart was praying that Roderick would quickly leave me alone.The intimidation that Roderick brought to my life made it easy for me to remember that the man didn't care where he put pressure. Like now, as soon as

On the way home, Marguerite Langley didn't say much. She looked straight ahead while occasionally enjoying the nighttime road. Sometimes they were still caught in a little traffic jam at some central point, but it didn't last long. For the rest, their trip back to the Langley residence went smoothly.“I hope this is the first and last visit to Evangeline's house, Mom.” Roderick Langley said while adjusting his seat. He had wanted to talk since earlier, but the interruption of the many messages that Isadora Kensington sent made him impatient to approach the woman immediately.“You forbid your mother from having a relationship with someone else?” Marguerite glanced at her son. There was resentment and anger that she could not express easily.“Mommy can have relationships with other people, as long as it's not Evangeline,” Roderick said in a final tone. ‘Instead of spending unnecessary time with her, why doesn't Mommy try to get close to my future wife?”Marguerite's stomach felt like it
