June 15th, Wednesday - 1st day Like any other day, when Lily woke up early in the morning, she would do some yoga exercises before taking a shower. But this morning, she had to pay extra attention to her make-up, carefully applying layers of concealer to hide her panda eyes because she had a sleepless night. Not being able to fall asleep was torturous for Lily. She kept on tossing and turning because her mind kept thinking about Zhuo Jingren’s proposal even though she had flatly rejected him there…

Zhuo Jingren slumped into his swivel chair, his face dark and jaws clenched. "I want to know everything that happened seven years ago," he said to Secretary Go who had entered his office after Lily left. "And I mean everything. Talk to the doctors who tended to her and her mother then. Something else must have happened that night of the accident." Zhuo Jingren closed his eyes and massaged his temples. The look in Lily’s eyes earlier told him that he must have missed something from his investigations.…

"Why?" he asked, his brow furrowed. "I don’t know you. Isn’t that enough of a reason?" she retorted. What this man did upset her, but for some reason, thinking about their unborn child made Lily a little soft towards him. "I don’t really see any problem with that. We could spend the rest of our lives getting to know each other," he insisted, inwardly praising himself for having the courage to say these things to Lily. "You use to be a shy little boy," she recounted, her gaze calm. "And…

"Haha..." Lily gave a fake laugh. "Nice one... You..." However, her face quickly stiffened as she cast a look at Secretary Go and then back at her driver. "Is this a joke?" she asked, unable to process the current situation. A myriad of expressions flashed on Lily’s face as reality sank in for her. She took a step back, her gaze darted back and forth between Zhuo Jingren and Secretary Go. "You pretended to be my driver!" Lily accused Zhuo Jingren. "Correction. You thought that I was your driver,"…

Zhuo Capital was a 15-storey building that stood in the middle of bustling Kowloon, Hong Kong, a prime location. The drive from Lily’s residence to Zhuo Capital in Kowloon was about an hour’s journey. An hour’s journey was nothing to Lily but this time, with Renren in the car, Lily felt like time was crawling by. She was very unsettled, not knowing what to do or say to ease the awkwardness in the air. In the end, Lily could only remind herself over and over that she would call the security agency…

Lily woke up early in the morning to prepare for her meeting. It was still five in the morning so she decided to do some Yoga before taking a shower. She then donned on a white blouse, paired with a black dress pants and a black blazer. She chose to let her hair fall loosely on her shoulders instead of tying them up. After putting on some light make-up and spraying her signature scent, she was certain that she was presentable for the meeting. By the time she was done, it was already seven in the…

Lily paced back and forth inside her room. Her hands were balled into a fist while trying to control her trembling nerves. Renren was the man that she slept with seven years ago! How could the world be so small? Was this some sort of a joke? Though Lily thought of it as a one-night stand, she could never forget the man’s low voice,the bobbing of his Adam’s apple, the crooked smile on his beautiful lips, his gasps and grunts. How could she forget the best sex in her life? It was exactly…

Once Lily was in her room, she closed and locked the door behind her. Knowing that there were still guests in the house, Lily didn’t take her time to wash up. She took a quick hot shower and changed into her pajamas before walking out of her room. Seeing that Mrs. Arison was no longer in the living room, she instantly relaxed and walked towards the kitchen to grab some crackers. "Eh? Why are you still here?" she furrowed her brows when she saw Renren laying out some plates on the table. "Miss Li…

"I think you might not have heard my question earlier," Lily’s stern voice echoed inside the living room, waking up Mrs. Arison from her stupor. "So, I am going to ask you again. Why are you here harassing my friend instead of taking care of your son at the hospital?" "I... Lily darling, how could you say such things?" Mrs. Arison widened her eyes, her face turning red from being caught red-handed. However, she refused to back off. "I was not harassing her. We just had a little misunderstanding," she…

"I’m called Renren." Lily raised an eyebrow at the mention of the name. However, she chose not to say anything and let Renren continue. "I just turned 31 two months ago. Single and never had a girlfriend." Lily’s instantaneous soft giggle made the atmosphere lighter. Single and never had a girlfriend? Just what kind of man would say something like this when introducing themselves? Ah... she had stumbled into a clown! Lily awkwardly turned her giggles into coughs when she noticed the man eyeing…
