Ophelia spoke with determination, a stubborn look in her clear eyes.


    Trent turned his head and met Ophelia''s gaze, feeling oddly intimidated by whatever it was in her eyes. He found that the strong aura from Ophelia was somewhat simr, but he couldn''t quite ce where he had seen this before. He sighed and gave in. He said, "Okay, as long as Keh agrees to your development. I have no objections."


    Trent''s words caught Ophelia by surprise. She thought, "His tone is so confident as if it is obvious that Keh won''t approve.


    Trent added, "If Keh agrees to your development, then I have nothing else to add. He thought. "If anything goes wrong, someone else will take the me; it wont be my concern.


    Meeting Trent''s crafty gaze, Ophelia furrowed her brow. She tried to read something from his expression, but saw nothing.


    Trent continued, "You only need to submit a feasibility report for thend development and the seawater test data. If it''s approved, you can start the development"


    This was exactly what Ophelia wanted to hear. She said. Thank you, Mr. Louis


    Trent sighed. He thought. She is too naive. It isn''t that straightforward. But perhaps it''s for the best; by the time she finishes all this, I might not be in this position anymore. What happens then won''t concern him" After leaving the Urban Development Bureau, Ophelia received a call from Keh.


    Keh asked, "Where are you! Come to the Sinir Group"


    Ophelia replied, "Alright" She rarely questioned Keh''s intentions. If free, she''d go wherever he wanted her to be.


    At the top floor of the Sinir Group Keh sat on the spacious leather couch, one hand supporting his forehead as he rubbed his temples.


    "Mr. Sinir, would you like to take a break: You''ve been pulling two all-nighters in the office since you got business trip" Mark suggested from the sile. He couldnt figure out what was happening with Keh. back from you

    "When did it be your job to meddle in my business! Get out Keh snarled, feeling an unexpected irritation.


    Mark was taken aback by the reprimand. For somewhat, he felt Keh had be much softer with his criticismstely.


    However, just as this thought appeared, he saw Keh lift his gelids. He had a deep crease from the corner of his eyes to hus temples, his dark pupils like the turbulent waves of a deep sea Mark back went rigid, and he was out of Keh''s sight in less than a second, as if his feet had wings.


    Once Mark left, Keh picked up the phone and dialed a number. Then, he pressed it to his ear. He asked, "How much time do I have left?" He closed his eyes as if waiting for a verdict


    On the other end of the line, Konn''s voice came through He said. "What are you talking abour? It''s not that serious, Keh. Now is not the time to be stubborn, you need to have the surgery soon." Keh was irritated the moment he heard this, and darkness once again clouded his eyesN?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Ronin called "Hello? Keh


    Keh said. "No one can know about this. You understand the consequences if they do." Chapter 213


    Before Ronin on the other-end could say anything, the call was abruptly ended.


    Just then, Ophelia pushed the door open, holding two cups of coffee.


    Keh tightened his grip on the phone. He asked, "Has work been keeping you busytely?"


    "It''s fine." Ophelia replied as she ced the coffee on the marble dining table nearby.


    She continued, "Not really busy. I''ve got professionals handling most things. Chloe manages things at thepany, so I mainly deal with a few design projects and asionally teach a couple of sses at Denex University." She thought, ''It''s quite manageable!


    Keh said, "Starting today,e work at Sinir Group. You can choose either the position of Vice President or President."


    Ophelia was confused.


    Keh''s words left no room for negotiation.


    Ophelia thought, "It is pretty sudden. Why would he suddenly make me the CEO? If I be the CEO, what about him?"


    Keh asked, "What? Don''t you want to work with your husband?"


    Ophelia replied, "It''s not that. I''m just not sure why." She thought, ''If so, wouldn''t I be under his watch all the time, unable to do what I want?"


    The fleeting emotion in her eyes didn''t escape Keh''s notice, He sat on the table, one leg resting on the ground while the other was bent on the table, and he beckoned to Ophelia with a finger. "Come here," he said. Ophelia walked over to Keh.


    Keh said, "Let me hold you." His deep voice had a hint of weariness.


    Ophelia didn''t say a word. She just walked over and embraced Keh. She let him bury his head in her neck.


    After a long time, just as Ophelia felt her right shoulder going numb, Keh''s soft voice echoed in her ear. He said, "Do whatever you want, I got your back."


    "What?" Ophelia asked. She was confused by his sudden remark. She wondered, "Do I hear him correctly?


    Keh straightened up. His brow slightly raised with natural confidence. He softly ruffled Ophelia''s hair and asked, "What''s up?"


    "You know what I want to do, are you sure?" Ophelia asked. She blinked her pretty eyes and looked at Keh seriously. Keh replied, "Yeah"


    Ophelia thought, ''Something''s not right with him. Her eyes fell on Keh''s ck phone She thought, ''Who has he be calling earlier? Who did he meet while he was on his business trip? Why does he seem different now that he is back? The past two nights, he hasn''t been dingy and has been workingte at the office. And now he''s agreeing to my slum development n An unusual feeling grew inside her. She asked, "Why did you have mee to the Sinir Group?"


    Keh said. "If not here, how do you n to do what you want? You can choose the CEO or the Vice President position Ophelia said, ''T''ll be the CEO, so what about you?" 10:15 Fri, Nov 22

    He replied, "Til be the Vice President or your assistant; whatever makes my dear wife happy, we''ll do it that way." He added. inside, I won''t hesitate even if I have to dismantle the entire corporation! Keh lifted Ophelia''s chin. Gazing at her lush lips, his Adams apple above his tie moved involuntarily. He said, "TII do whatever youmand."


    Those words came from Keh''s mouth with an indescribable sensuality and allure. Especially thest two words. He was like an irresistible male enchantress.


    Ophelia tugged at Keh''s tie, meeting his eyes. She thought, He doesn''t even know how much I missed him.


    ''Since he returned, he''s been going straight to the office. I might have thought he was meeting another woman on those business trips if I didn''t trust him.


    Ophelia said, "Then, former CEO, please take me on a tour of your lounge-no, I mean mine."


    Their eyes met. Ophelia was like a lively little fox. Even faced with this big bad wolf, she was no longer afraid.


    The lounge was a duplex with direct ess to the rooftop.


    Ophelia was sincerely exploring, but just as she reached the corner of the stairs, Keh pressed her against the wall.
