Adine paced back and forth from the living room to the bedroom, cradling her phone between her cheek and shoulder. A severe conversation was evident from the woman's facial expression."Can we meet tomorrow?" Adine asked the person on the other end.["I'm free for lunch; let's eat at our favorite restaurant from our working days. I'll pick you up tomorrow, okay?"]"I don't want to inconvenience my friend," Adine said.["We're like siblings; don't overthink about it!"]"You truly are the best friend, Monica. I can't wait to put together some plans for them," Adine said, restraining her anger.["Great! That's my smart friend. But are you sure about this?"]"Monica, I'm serious this time. Are you willing to help me?" Adine asked pleadingly.["Relax, my friend, I can't refuse you. Tomorrow, I'll try contacting someone reliable. The job will be discreet, and I guarantee it won't be easily traced."]"Thank you, Monica, my dearest friend." Adine's tone was smooth and alluring. "See you tomor

"You are always reliable; I made the right choice in selecting you as my assistant," praised Dominik to Arion."You're too kind, sir, considering I'm just doing what is expected of me," Arion replied with a shy smile. They both laughed, and although Dominik's requests were sometimes absurd to Arion, they never shook Arion's loyalty.Arion fell silent for a moment, briefly recalling memories of his past and his encounter with Dominik. The two were brought together when Arion, facing a financial crisis while studying in Germany, sought employment at the Einhart family mansion. His family in Seoul, South Korea, had gone bankrupt and could no longer support his education.With determination, Arion applied for a job at the Einhart family mansion. Despite the occasional absurd requests from Dominik, their close bond led Dominik to ask his family to help Arion.Arion managed to finance his education independently and support his family by working for Dominik's family company. "Arion, take a

"Tired today," Adine said as she stretched her arms upward. The laptop screen was still open, displaying a black-and-white sketch."My body feels uncomfortable. Very tired and want to sleep," Adine murmured while massaging her forehead, feeling a headache.The woman glanced at the wall clock hanging right in front of her. The time showed it was still seven in the evening."I think I have a fever," Adine mumbled again, rubbing her forehead and sensing her body temperature.Adine quickly closed the laptop and tidied up all her work. Her body swayed as she rose from the chair.She felt a bit dizzy, and her vision blurred. Perhaps, due to the fever, her eyes felt hot."I hope Dominik doesn't come tonight," the woman whispered, hoping.Without entering the bathroom, Adine uncovered the blanket on the bed. Her slender body was ready, dressed in pale yellow Korean-style pajamas.She hurriedly lay on the king-size bed and wrapped her entire body with a thick blanket up to her neck."Oh God, w

"It looks like what Adine said was right; Rico and Laura must have applied for cooperation with Dominik's company. Duh, seriously, Laura is a snake woman, I'm sure she must be trying to trap Mr Dominik." Monica did not stop grumbling down the hallway after her feet had just stepped on the floor after getting out of the lift.Her mouth stopped when she saw a strapping figure before Adine's apartment door. Her steps were slow as she eyed the figure there."It's that annoying bodyguard," Monica muttered curtly. Her steps quickened again, and she quickly approached."Aren't you tired of standing here?" Monica asked in a nosy tone.Willy only glanced at Monica's figure; perhaps because she was equally annoying, she looked away again."Eh...instead of being ignored, I want to meet your lady!" snapped Monica. "If you don't move, how can I get in?"Willy only had a flat expression; he knocked on the door of Adine's room. While Monica spluttered with annoyance, she could also be alone without

"Who's calling like they're possessed in the morning!" Adine ran from the walk-in closet to her room while grumbling.Adine rushed to the nightstand and grabbed the mobile phone lying there. She frowned at the identity on the screen."Hello, Mrs Nita, I'll be there in a minute," Adine said to the person on the other side.["Adine, can you come here soon?"]From the tone of the woman called Nita, there was a tone of concern."What's wrong, Mum? Did something happen to father?" Adine started to worry about what happened.["Adine, I can't keep preventing it..."]"What do you mean, Mum?" said Adine quickly. "I beg you, don't speak halfway, Mum." Adine's chest began to pound; she was afraid something would happen to her father.["Mrs Melisa came here and forced Mr Michael to sign something."]Adine seemed to go limp, her chest was hit by something really heavy. She staggered for a moment, imagining what that demonic woman had done to her father."Please block me first. Don't let me sign an
