Everyone's got the stwenty-four hours, and until | figure out how to play the money gand dodge the
risks, rushing in would just getwrecked faster.
Better play it safe for now, take things slow. Keeping steady is way more important.
Work got pretty crazy in the afternoon. Everything piled up, and | barely had tto take a sip of water.
During a meeting, | noticed my phone buzzing with a text. | glanced at it quickly-it looked like a video.
The video showed sguy flexing his abs, but his face was hidden.
|
| didn’t want anyone aroundto see, so | just glanced at it and quickly turned off the screen.
When a guy’s loaded, there’s never a shortage of women throwing themselves at him.
But when a woman's got money, guys get even bolder.
I've had plenty of so-called handsguys chasing after me, calling“big sister” like it’s skind of turn-
on.
Seven send all sorts of suggestive pics and videos in the middle of the night.

After the meeting ended and night had fallen, | was sitting in my office, buried in paperwork.
My phone buzzed a few times in a row.
[Vic, why are you leavingon read?]
“777.”
[Just lurking and not commenting? That's a bit rude, isn’t it?]
When | saw that galaxy icon, it hit me-this was Ryan's account.
| grabbed my phone and scrolled back up to the video, only to find he'd already unsent it.
A flash of those thick veins standing out beneath his skin, disappearing under those black slacks, flickered
through my
mind.
For sreason, it felt like déja vu-just like that scene in the bathroom the other day.
| quickly replied, “Sorry, | didn’t have tto reply earlier. What's with that video you just sent me?“-Victoria
“Was | being too much?” Ryan shot back almost instantly,
“No, not at all... | was just a bit surprised,” | replied.

“I just finished training. I'll cfind you. Where are you?” Ryan asked.
| glanced out the window. Thad flown by while | was busy-it was almost seven already.
“I'm at the office!” | replied.
“Are you working late tonight?” he asked.
“Nope, you don’t have to call the way to the office. How about meeting near my place? Dinner’s on me,” |
said.

When | got home, Ryan still hadn't shown up yet, which meant | had just enough tto hop in the shower and
slip into my favorite loungewear.
Since | lived alone, | always kept my place super tidy-it’s a habit I’ve had since | was a kid.
And lately, as my mood’s gotten better, I've started decorating a bit-buying fresh flowers, and whenever
something cute or interesting catches my eye, | just bring it home.
Watching my place slowly turn into my dream hgavethis quiet, happy feeling inside.
Maybe this is what it means to really live.
Truth is, I've been wanting a pet for a while now, but work's just way too hectic. | barely have tfor myself, let
alone taking care of a little furball. I'd hate to bring one hand end up not giving it the love it deserves.
But | know, once life chills out a bit, I'm definitely getting one-no doubt about it.
| was just putting the flowers in water when the doorbell rang.
| walked over and opened the door-Ryan was standing there with a big bag, and there was that faint, familiar
smell of freshly baked bread in the air.
| froze for a moment, guessing Ryan had probably asked his housekeeper to bake my favorite bread for me
again.
“Had the housekeeper make all this for us. Con, let's eat,” Ryan said, dropping the bag on the table and
unpacking
everything one by one.
“You really didn’t have to go to all that trouble,” | said softly.
“It’s no trouble at all. We've got to eat anyway,” Ryan replied with a grin, his deep eyes roaming over me. “Did
