“Keep quiet and stay still,” Eric said softly, his tone low and firm.

Her heart beats faster, confusion filling her chest. This is not what he is supposed to be doing, Tessy thought inwardly.

This is for Jessica.

But Eric did not seem bothered.

Holding her hand with tenderness, he looked at the ring on her finger for a moment, turning her palm to several angles.

Then he spoke softly, almost to himself. “Beautiful,”

The attendant nearby smiled.

“It fits perfectly,” the male attendant added swee

    They smiled and sat down to drink. Ice clinked softly against the glasses as they poured wine.Evans pointed at the call girls to leave them alone.After the two girls left, Evans uttered, dropping the glass of wine in his hand onto the table, “I tried Ethan’s phone number but it doesn't connect?”“Ya, he went on a tour of the state. After that he will proceed to the countryside to spend time with his parents, he will also be getting married in the process,” Eric responded calmly.Evans chuckled at the thought of Ethan getting married soon.“So when is Ethan swearing in?” Evans asked. He left the country shortly after the election results were announced.“The swearing in will be in eight weeks time,” Eric answered, sipping from his cup slowly.“Okay and I was thinking that you will bring your new girl with you as you are coming,” Evans asked about Jessica.Since Eric got together with Jessica, Evans had not seen her. It was only Ethan who had met with Jessica and disapproved of her i

Her cheeks red from flushing.Eric, however, remained unmoved.Then the attendant cleared his throat nervously.“The price is two hundred million dollars’ sir,” the attendant announced carefully.Tessy’s eyes widened immediately.“Two hundred… what?” Tessy repeated in shock.She turn

    Ethan looked very surprised. Turning to Tessy, Eric said, “Tessy, go back to your office.” Tessy nodded immediately and left the office. The soft sound of the door closing filled the quiet room. Ethan turned sharply to Eric. “Eric Edison, are you telling me you are interested in both sisters?” Ethan asked. Eric’s face remained expressionless. “Stop talking nonsense. I don’t want you getting close to her,” Eric replied coldly. “Why?” Ethan asked. “Do I need to explain to you? You are getting married in few weeks’ time.” Eric reminded Ethan as if he had forgotten. “Hmn, collecting her phone number doesn't mean I am going to chase her. I just feel this connection with her, as if I have known her for years,” Ethan said while leaning back in his chair thoughtfully. Eric laughed at Ethan while muttering, “Poor opening line.” Ethan was annoyed and wanted to hit Eric. He pointed an annoyed finger at “A governor should not fight.” Eric said quickly with a smile. — The next day.

    Eric’s eyes narrowed slightly.“I am happy,” Eric answered too quickly.Ethan tilted his head slowly.“I am not convinced, dude,” Ethan said.“I said I am happy,” Eric repeated, almost raising his voice this time.Ethan simply smiled like he had heard enough lies in his life.“Alright… then when am I going to meet her?” Ethan asked.“You will see her soon,” Eric replied, already reaching for the lunch container Tessy had brought earlier.He opened it and placed it on the table, and immediately the rich aroma of the food spread lightly through the office. Then he poured drinks for both of them. Ice cubes clinked softly against the glass cups.Ethan watched closely.“Did she cook this?” Ethan asked casually.“No,” Eric replied. “My personal assistant got it for me. She happens to be the elder sister of my woman.”Ethan thought it was Tessy who cooked the food which happens to be the truth. But Er

    Tessy, standing at the corner of the office, felt her heart tighten. Fear crept into her heart. She was afraid he would immediately notice that the food was not from the Edison Hotel. But Eric did not say anything. He continued eating, slowly at first and then he paced up, as if he was beginning to enjoy it.Tessy blinked in surprise.This was not what she expected.She had been ready for him to push the food away or question it sharply, but instead, he kept eating until the last spoon.When he was done, he leaned back slightly and drank some water.Not even a grain was left.Tessy could hardly believe it.Eric raised his eyes and looked at her.His expression was unreadable.“The food is delicious,” he said finally. “Better than the previous ones.”Tessy’s breath caught for a moment.Then he added, more slowly,“Are you sure this is from the same staff at Edison Hotel?”His eyes stayed on her

    One of Eric’s luxury cars was parked outside.She was surprised.Before she could think further, the driver saw her and quickly stepped out of the car.“Good morning, ma,” he said with a smile.Tessy nodded slightly.“Good morning. What are you doing here?”“I have been sent to take you to the Edison Hotel to buy breakfast for the boss.”Tessy was even more surprised. The boss was always cold to her, yet sometimes he did things that made her wonder if there was more to it. For a moment, her heart shifted, but she quickly corrected herself.“Tessera Stone, don’t get carried away,” she warned herself quietly.Then she faced the real issue in front of her.Should she follow the driver to the hotel and pretend? Or should she tell the truth?After thinking for a few seconds, she chose the simpler path.“Sam… can you keep a secret?” she asked.Sam paused. He did not know what to expect, but he liked

    She had not expected to see Jessica in Springfield. And worst still, she had not expected her here at Edison Global at all.Jessica had left in a hurry months ago, leaving only a note saying no one should look for her.But now how did she end up here? “Oh! I didn’t expect to run into you here,” J

    Jessica stepped out slowly. The air outside felt different, almost unreal.In front of her stood a large white mansion. It looked like something out of a dream.She paused for a moment and stared at it before continuing forward.Jessica slowed her steps unconsciously, afraid the moment would end to

    Jessica turned around, and her expression froze for a brief second when she saw him. He was tall, well-dressed, and clearly rich.His suit looked expensive. His steps were calm and sure. Behind him, six men in dark suits followed quietly, their stern presence making the area around them suddenly
