“Is it that bad?" She pressed on. Sick? How come?

"He has a terrible fever," Casey sighed. "The doctor said it's complete exhaustion. He hasn't slept or eaten properly in days because of all that corporate stress, and he spent the whole of last night working. He nearly collapsed the moment he got home from the hospital."

Anika stood up from the lunch table so fast her chair scraped loudly against the floor. Tobey’s sharp eyes tracked her instantly, his brow furrowing, but she completely ignore

    Christopher sat perfectly straight. He hadn't thought it through before the words simply blurted out of his mouth."Hydration is important during work hours," he commanded, deep voice carrying a strange, intense authority.The entire table went dead silent. Cassandra stopped reaching for her napkin, and Paul’s chopsticks hovered mid-air. Everyone just stared at the supreme Vanguard Chairman, completely baffled as to why a multi-billionaire titan was giving a random lecture on workplace health metrics during a sushi lunch.Sensing the dense, bizarre atmosphere, Christopher’s face twisted into an annoyed frown. He cleared his throat, trying to force his rigid corporate mask back on. "I am talking about Anika’s water," he muttered bluntly, gesturing toward her glass. "You should drink more water. It's a standard operational focus."It was incredibly awkward. Anika blinked, her face heating up from the sudden spotlight. She quickly took a tiny, compliant sip of her water just to break the

    "Don't tell me 'Rianna' calling is another reason for you to run off and ditch work again, Missy?" Tobey asked, his arms still crossed as he stared down at her face.Anika, already startled by his sudden voice, finally seemed to relax. She let out a quiet, internal breath of relief. Thank goodness, she had changed Christopher's number in her contacts last night into a random girl's name. If she hadn't saved it as 'Rianna', Tobey would be looking at the supreme Chairman's actual name right now, and adding 2 plus 2 to become 22.Anika quickly put on her classy front, pretending it was just a call from a regular friend. She shrugged it off with an unbothered smile, looking up at him. "It's just this needy friend of mine. It doesn't matter, Tobey. You don't have to worry about me running off again.” She swallowed, her eyes still fixed on him. “Let's get back to work."Tobey rolled his eyes, clearly still skeptical, but he didn't press her further as they packed up their folders and left.

    Without looking back at Anika, Tori stormed past her, her heels banging violently against the tile floor as she ran straight into the Director's private office."You promised me!" Tori yelled, slamming her hands onto his table, completely abandoning her professional face. "You said the position was mine! I want an explanation right now!"The Director didn't even flinch. He calmly closed his laptop, leaning back in his leather chair with a cold, unbothered expression. "The directive came straight from the executive board, Tori. You have offended someone very powerful. I suggest you pack your bags and report to your basement position immediately."Tori’s face twisted in pure, ugly rage. She changed her voice, her tone dropping into a sharp, threatening hiss. "I will make you pay for this. Do you know who I am? Do you know who my mother is?"The Director let out a short, mocking laugh, looking at her with absolute indifference. "I don't need to know who your ancestors are, Miss Gold. You

  • Revenge Of The Secret Heiress    The Office Queen

    Tori Gold stood in the middle of the large, glass-walled office space on the third floor of the department, holding a stack of luxury design catalogs. Two assistants were busy rearranging the sleek mahogany desk behind her."Move that lamp to the left," Tori commanded, her voice echoing loudly across the open floor so everyone could hear. She tossed her hair back, a proud, smug smile on her face. "The view from this window is perfect. I told you all, this managerial position belongs to me. My family's connections always deliver."Her colleagues nodded quickly, offering fake smiles. Everyone on the floor had heard her bragging about her new position all morning.Right then, the glass doors of the department slid open.Anika walked in, holding an audit folder, with Tobey walking right beside her. She was calmly pointing at a spreadsheet, talking to Tobey about the numbers as they walked toward the storage office.Tori froze. The moment she spotted Anika’s classy, unbothered posture, the

    The wedding reception was buzzing with music and loud laughter. At the front VIP table, several guests looking all wealthy, gathered their heads together bragging about their latest success. "My son just secured a real estate partnership abroad," an older businessman boasted, swirling his drink. "Millions on the table before the quarter even ends."A woman in a silk dress nodded, eager to jump in. "That's nothing compared to my daughter. She was just featured in the global fashion registry last night. The praise she's getting is incredible."Desiree Gold took a slow sip from her glass, waiting for the perfect moment before she chirped in. "Oh, those are lovely achievements," she said smoothly, capturing the attention of the table. "I guess I can talk about my sweet Tori over here.” She said, smiling proudly. A lady said out loud, “Oh come on. What great news have you got to say now? The Golds are always celebrating hehe!” She giggled and everyone laughed with her.Desiree said at la

    Across the elegant hallway, inside Christopher’s apartment, the morning sun was doing nothing to cure Casey’s splitting headache. She groaned loudly, pressing a cold ice pack against her temple as she slumped on the kitchen island.The front door clicked open and Lara walked in. Still dressed in her crisp, high-end private nurse uniform, looking a bit tired after finishing her long night shift at the VIP wing. She took off her coat, her sharp eyes scanning the messy apartment before locking onto the miserable girl."Where is your brother?" Lara asked, her voice calm and professional as she set her medical bag on the counter.Casey just let out a heavy groan, burying her face into her arms. "Check the next apartment. He’s probably with Anika."Lara paused, her brow furrowing. "Who is that?""Our neighbor," Casey muttered into her sleeve, too tired to explain.Lara's mind instantly flashed back to yesterday afternoon. She remembered the lady who had barged in carrying a container of por

    He asked and she nodded. "Good. Let's keep up the good work.""Did you also promise her the same thing? Did you sleep with all of them too?" She scowled at him.Rufus just ignored it. These idiots didn't know that he had no power to make any of them managers or assistants. In fact, he'd even put in

    Anika frowned at that message. She had been texting and calling Anna since then, but she didn’t pick up. Now that it was late, she wanted to talk?She just tossed the phone onto the bed and sighed. Tomorrow was another day; she would see her then.The next morning, as early as dawn, Carlos’s call h

    Anika just stared at him as he explained, then, to back up all of his points, he paused, opened the black bag he'd been carrying, and brought out a neat brown envelope. She frowned but collected it from him to open it. This was his proof after all. NOTICE OF INHERITANCE. To Ms. Anika Delacroix

    Rufus stepped forward. "Get on your knees right now and pay respect to miss over here!" He ordered. Then ran over to Anika's side. "Miss, welcome. We're so sorry for this mess." He turned to Anna again, "are you deaf! Get on your knees and apologize right now! No sir, I'm the manager. Let me discip
