As the day went on, the gossip intensified, with everyone eager to find out about this mysterious woman who had captured the heart of their handsome big boss. But then they knew the Woods family had always been mysterious in their ways, and Sebastian was no exception.Rumors and wild theories spread like wildfire, adding an air of excitement to the usually serious and dull workplace environment of Woods Corporation. They were all eager to see their boss in love, hoping it would bring a positive change to the company.Back in his office on the 80th floor of the building, Sebastian couldn't help but smile as he overheard bits of the gossip floating in from every corner. His employees, of over eight thousand people, worked tirelessly to meet his high standards, knowing that failure was not an option.He expected nothing short of excellence and rewarded those who delivered results. Competence was valued above all else, and those who fell short, faced the consequences.So, on a typical day
A few moments later, the stunning redheaded and curvy beauty, nicknamed Woods Corporation's most gorgeous and sexy staff, Rachael Lind, walked into the CEO's office. Dressed in a tailored custom-made business suit that hugged her curves in all the right places, Rachael effortlessly combined professionalism with a touch of undeniable sensuality. Beyond her stunning appearance, the 26-year-old's reputation in the company was one of unwavering dedication and exceptional competence. She was known for her sharp intellect, problem-solving skills, and ability to handle high-pressure situations with composure. Her colleagues admired her not only for her beauty but also for her exceptional work ethic and leadership qualities. Everyone, including Sebastian, agreed that she was a significant asset to Woods Corporation. As she walked into Sebastian's office, her beauty and radiance were hard to ignore, yet the stoic man behind the desk did not even bother to cast a glance at her. Instead, his a
Skyline Events Company.âMiss Allen, stop staring into space. I need you in my office now!â Kourtneyâs wandering thoughts were rudely interrupted by her immediate superior, Brianna Martins.âSure, Maâam, I'll be right there,â she replied, putting up a fake smile to mask her disdain.As Kourtney stood up to follow the older woman, she wondered why her presence was suddenly needed. But she was even more worried after being caught drifting off by the infamously harsh and bossy Brianna Martins. But can you blame her for pondering too much?These last three days after Kourtneyâs breakup and eventual flash marriage have been an emotional rollercoaster for her. As she walked behind Jessy towards the office, her thoughts almost drifted back to base again. Kourtney bit her lips in frustration, struggling to maintain her composure and concentration.Off course, she's been doing everything she can to avoid Brandon and Kathlyn. But those two have shamelessly been parading themselves around her at
The sterile, white hospital room was filled with the soft hum of machines, casting a pale glow on the sculpture-like figure lying in the bed. Tubes and wires were attached to the patient, monitoring his vital signs for any improvements.His personal doctor and close friend, Ryan Turner, had worked swiftly to stabilize him by putting him in a medically induced coma.After what felt like an eternity, Sebastian Woods began to regain consciousness.Jamie, his dedicated assistant, had been keeping watch by his side. Right now, he was going through some work documents, but his eyes occasionally strayed to the man's still form.Then, suddenly, there was a twitch of movement. Jamie's eyes widened in surprise, and he leaned forward, his voice soft and full of relief."Sir⊠you're finally awake."Sebastian's eyelids fluttered, and he blinked several times, trying to focus on his surroundings. His voice was hoarse as he spoke."How long have I been out?"Jamie checked his wristwatch before answe
Kourtney glanced at her ringing phone and sighed. She reached for it, taking a quick look at the caller ID. It was an unknown number, and immediately, she assumed it was one of her ex-fiancĂ©âs family members calling again. She shook her head and silenced the call, her expression twisting slightly to frustration.Liam raised an eyebrow, noticing her reaction. "Everything okay?"Kourtney shrugged, offering a half-hearted smile. "Just another call I'd rather not deal with."âOk then. But I'm being serious here. I'm not leaving without you. Let's go grab something quick before work hours resume,â Liam continued to insist.Kourtney stretched her arms lazily overhead. "I promise I'll take a break soon. Just let me finish this one last section of the draft, please.ââLiam is right, Kourt. Weâve seen how hard you've been working since yesterday, and we have no doubt the Silverstone Gala will be a massive success. But you need to take a break, okay? It's still one month away anyway,â Kourtneyâ
âYes. Itâs your husband. Or did you forget you were married?â Sebastian sneered.âI⊠Iââ Kourtney was rendered speechless, and panic welled up inside her.She struggled to find the right words to say. Instead, she felt a lump in her throat. It wasn't that she had forgotten her marriage, but the emotional stress and torture she'd been through these past few days were quite overwhelming. So much so that she hadnât had a chance to think about anything else, and thatâs why his words caught her off guard.âAnd why the hell were you cutting off my calls? I did say I was going to give you a call after we got married, didnât I?â Sebastianâs deep voice resounding through the phone line held a trace of anger and malice.Kourtney took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.âI... I didn't realize it was you. Okay?â she managed to respond.âAnd even if I did, itâs not bad to ignore you, as well,â she wanted to add but dared not to.How was she supposed to know he had been the caller all this tim
Sebastian's voice turned cold and ruthless. "If you refuse to come to me, I'll have no other choice but to purchase your workplace and then have you fired. Then you won't have to worry about your precious job anymore. How about that for a twist?âKourtney's eyes widened in shock, realizing the depth of his threat. The line went silent for an instant, the weight of his words hanging in the air.âYou⊠you won't do that?ââWatch me!â Sebastian sneered coldly before turning to his assistant, who stood by the side with a funny expression on his face.âJamie? How much does that âSkyline Eventsâ cost? I would gladly burn down the whole building afterward since I have no use for it.ââYou...â Kourtney was stunned into silence, grappling with the realization that he was willing to go to such extreme lengths to exert control over her. He was being such a heartless and unreasonable jerk yet again.âTick-tock. You have thirty minutes to get here! Thirty!!!â Sebastian snorted coldly before hanging
âBoss. Here's video footage of the Madame eating with her office mates around when you called.Sebastian squinted his eyes as he observed the footage closely. His wife was eating with two others, a female and a blonde âmale,â chatting and laughing happily.He sat up straighter on the hospital bed and watched intently. At the time of his call, only the male was with her on the table.He couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy and anger once again as he watched the two of them."Who's that guy?" Sebastian demanded, his voice cold and commanding as he pointed at the male figure in the video.The security guards glanced at each other before one replied, "We're not sure, Boss. Seems to be one of the Madameâs coworkers or a friend."Sebastian clenched his jaw. He didn't like the idea of his wife spending time with another man, especially in a relaxed and friendly manner, despite it being her workplace. Was she that close with all her male colleagues?"Keep an eye on him. I want to know m
