Yuna rested at home for another day.Even though her left arm required a longer time to heal, it wouldn’t affect her work efficiency, so she returned to work right after her rest day.She had only expected to take a half-day leave but didn’t expect something so serious like that to happen, putting her out of commission for more than half a day. This was the first time she was woefully unprepared for a situation, and she hoped it would also be the last.She quickly got back into her role once she stepped foot into the research center. However, Donovan was able to use her absence yesterday as leverage on her.“Even if you are the backbone of Mr. Jenkin’s important research project, you should still have some semblance of a good working attitude. Did you know your absence yesterday scared everyone on the project? We all thought you abandoned us and left the country,” he mocked.Yuna cast a quick glance at her teammates, but they were all silent and avoided her eyes—neither confirming
“Just a thank you?” Yvan raised an eyebrow, looking at her coldly.Yuna looked at him and said, “I will repay you by finishing the project ten days ahead of schedule—two months earlier than expected.”At these words, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “So, you originally could have finished it in fifty days but lied to me and said it would take sixty days?”Yuna’s brows twitched as she retorted, “Then why don’t you put yourself in my shoes? Maybe I worked overtime to shorten the schedule.”That made Yvan speechless for a moment.But the next second, he stood before Yuna and said, “What I need is quality. I don’t want to be disappointed with the finished product if we shorten the schedule.”“Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”“Are you the client, or am I?”Yuna raised her brows and calmly replied, “Mr. Jenkins, have you forgotten the terms of our agreement? We are equal parties, not a client and a contractor.”Yvan’s gaze became stern.“Since I said it, I am naturally confident abo
Sherry had reserved a private room at the restaurant they frequented during their college years. The moment Yuna stepped out of the car, a rush of memories from their college days overwhelmed her. Filled with curiosity, she exclaimed, “I can’t believe this place is still here.”Harry raised his brows and said proudly, “The restaurant was about to close down, but Sherry and I invested in it to keep it open, and we even included you in it.” Yuna was very moved by this revelation.Harry patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t get emotional here. Let’s go in.”The dishes had already been served in the private room, awaiting their arrival. Once they were seated and the door locked, Harry placed a flash drive in front of Yuna and said, “The thing you asked me to find is in here, and there are also some extra goodies included.”Yuna was surprised at how efficient Harry was. “What are the extra goodies?”“Blake’s love affair,” Harry replied.Sherry exclaimed, “Harry, why don’t you quit yo
“Follow closely and don’t lose them. This might be our chance to earn a sizable bonus.”Harry and Sherry wanted to see Yuna’s twins very much, so they kept requesting that she show them her children. She estimated the time and realized that the two little ones ought to have finished their breakfast and still had some time before going to school, so she decided to try to video call them. However, the video call failed several times with no response from the other end.Harry speculated, saying, “Maybe they left their phone in the room and didn’t notice it ringing?” Regardless of the reason, Yuna had never lost contact with them before. Hence, she decided to call Aunty Reina. Luckily, she answered quickly. Speaking fluently in Caytheran, Yuna asked, “Reina, where are Natalie and Nathaniel?”Reina was surprised by her question. With a laugh, she said, “Miss Surra, are you kidding me? Didn’t Mr. Xavier bring them to reunite with you?”“What? Are you sure?” Yuna’s face turned pale wi
At the pet store, Spencer remained oblivious to the fact that he had been exposed and was being dragged around by Natalie to admire the various small animals. Nathaniel trailed behind, stealing glances at the persistent paparazzi who continued to document their movements, all while discreetly checking his phone.As he looked at the trending news and the missed video calls from his mom, Spencer suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He’d wanted to take a photo with his phone earlier but accidentally switched it to silent mode instead. That caused him to miss the flurry of calls and notifications. When he checked his phone, there were almost hundreds of missed calls and messages.There were calls from Surra, his older brother, his agent, his assistant...and the list went on.Spencer felt like his brain was about to explode. He knew he was doomed.Quickly putting away his phone, he picked up the twins with both hands and rushed out of the pet store at breakneck speed.Natalie circled her ar
Yuna rushed to Bryndale and was led into the neighborhood by Spencer’s driver.A large group of fans and paparazzi was already gathering outside the neighborhood.The moment the news went viral, the fans went into a frenzy. The paparazzi, determined not to be outdone, also joined the pursuit, all striving to obtain the latest updates.When Yuna and the rest got to Spencer’s home, the first thing they saw was Spencer’s manager making calls one after another endlessly. “Mommy!”Natalie was the first to spot Yuna. She swiftly rushed over and hugged the latter, expressing her affection in a cute and endearing manner.Paisley was caught off guard by how Natalie had called out to Yuna. She rushed to the guest room while explaining, “I’ve told you that she’s Spencer’s sister. He’s just taking care of his sister’s child. You don’t believe me? Fine. We’ll go to the hospital tomorrow and have them do a paternity test. How about that? Spencer’s career is just taking off now. He’s usually a
Natalie nodded obediently. “I remember. They are your closest and best friends. Hello, Aunt Sherry. Hello, Uncle Harry.”Sherry almost melted because of how cute Natalie was. She immediately put Natalie on her lap as she could not bear to let her go. “Yuna, she’s just like you when you’re a child.”On the other hand, Nathaniel sat very quietly to Yuna’s right. “Uncle Harry. Aunt Sherry.”Looking at Nathaniel, Sherry thought he was extremely handsome. “Nathaniel really has what it takes to be a model. Yuna, you’ve done a great job delivering such a handsome child!”Harry was driving, so he looked at Sherry through the rearview mirror, smiled, and teased her, “Sherry, stop drooling. You’ll frighten Natalie and Nathaniel.”Finally, the mood was lifted.For a moment, Yuna forgot about what was troubling her earlier.After they returned to the apartment, Harry and Sherry started playing with the children. Yuna had been telling the children about them ever since they could remember, s
They immediately moved out.Fortunately, Yuna did not have many things. They swiftly relocated overnight, and it was already past midnight by the time they finally settled down.Yuna first put the children to bed before returning to the living room to have a discussion with Sherry and Harry.“It’s too risky for them to stay,” she said.“It’s a little risky, but as long as Yvan doesn’t find out about this place, we can still hide them here for the time being.” Harry raised his eyebrows and said, “Also, didn’t you say you’ve shortened the time frame of your plan?”While snacking, Sherry asked curiously, “Yuna, if it’s shortened, will your plan be affected? Will you have enough time to find the culprit and deal with the Feron family?”Yuna nodded. “Yes.”Harry looked at her. He could more or less figure out some of the things she had in mind. “Yuna, if you’re too pressed for time, you can leave the children to Sherry and me. You can just do your thing in peace. I can tell the child
