"Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable. Please leave a message after the beep..."

The automated voice irritated her as she put down the phone and grumbled in frustration. Her curiosity intensified and the fact that she couldn't get an instant gratification became intolerable.

In a conference room at the headquarters of the Leng's Corporations, the senior executives were conducting quarterly reports. During his presentation, the company's director of publicity, all of a sudden, caught glimpse of a partly hidden and partly visible smile at the corners of Aaron's mouth. Shaken by the connotations of Aaron's smile, he didn't know whether he should go on with his presentation or not. Looking around with his peripheral vision, he found that all his peers were gazing at him with sympathetic eyes. Everyone who worked in Leng's Corporations knew that Aaron always wore a cold face and that smile would only appear on his face when he was about to fire somebody. With that thought in mind, the director of publicity couldn't help thinking whether he was going to get the axe today, even though he didn't know what his mistake was.

"Well..." he said, mustering up his courage to face the music. "Honorable CEO, is... is there anything wrong with my report?"

His voice brought Aaron back to reality. In an instant, the smile disappeared from Aaron's face and he cast a curious glance at the director of publicity, who was sweating profusely, and said, "Do you think there is anything wrong?"

The director of publicity found himself in a more difficult situation with that question. While cursing at Aaron silently in his heart, he pretended to think seriously. After a short while, he said, "We've decided to invite a popular star in H Country as the tourism ambassador for the new quarter..." When he concentrated on his presentation about the plan for the following quarter, the director of publicity regained his self-confidence. Without pause, he stated his program smoothly till the very end.

"Hmm." Aaron nodded his head in acknowledgement. Then he asked, "The amusement park is going to celebrate their second anniversary. Has the Dragon Empire Group submitted their plan yet?"

"Yes, they submitted the plan yesterday."

"Well, I want you to cooperate with them in case they need anything else!" Aaron ordered and then continued. "If

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

Ximena spent the rest of the day in a good mood. The air was sweet. Her world had been cast anew and she was savoring every moment. As she looked at the newly-grown branches of the hyacinth, Ximena wore a smile that almost never left her face. Although Freya was happy as any mother could be for their child, there was something bothering her. "Ximena..."

"Yes?" Ximena turned her head to look at Freya, who was sitting on a chair in front of her. "What's the matter, mom?"

"Ximena," Freya called her name again with a heavy expression on her face. Out of a sincere heart and the earnest wishes of a mother, she asked, "What are your future plans with Aaron?"

It turned out this was something that was bothering Ximena as well, but she had managed to keep it hidden under her happy thoughts. "I don't know..." She sighed and her nostrils twitched like they always did when she was nervous about something. "Mom, I don't know what to do. I have been thinking about that since I came back from Dragon Island, but I haven't been able to come to a decision yet. But I know that when Aaron was not here with me, I felt empty. It was as if something was missing in my life. He's busy every day, but I know that he will come back to me sooner or later. The thought of that makes me feel at ease."

Pursing her lips slightly, her eyes looked a bit sad as something came to her mind. She continued, "I can't bear the thought of leaving him... but I..." She didn't know how to put her feelings into words. Feeling at a loss for words, she sighed with exasperation.
