Get Rid of Him
[COMPLETED] ---------- "For ten years, I have loved you in vain. Now, my love has withered." Liliana Xin was treated like wallpaper in her four years of marriage with her CEO husband Asher Shen, despite her best efforts to build a happy home. She thought she could endure his neglect, but when a miscarriage got her nothing but a cold shoulder from her husband, Liliana decided enough was enough! "Divorce me this instant." What's the use of wallowing in self-pity? Shouldn't she be her own boss and lead a life without begging for a man's love anymore? It was time for her to squeeze out massive alimony from this apathetic man and leave to become a successful woman on her own! On her healing journey, Liliana crossed paths with Lucas Liu. The younger man had the same forlorn look in his eyes, reminding Liliana of her misery. "Join me. I'll make you more powerful." She promised, wanting to save him to repay him for his kindness. He was there for her at her lowest. With Lucas and her friends, Liliana continued moving forward. She didn't look back at the people who had never cherished her. They were no longer important to her. But there's someone that wasn't happy with this new development. Asher reappeared, his frosty cold mask was replaced with deep regret and longing. "I was wrong. Please, come back! I'll do anything!" Liliana scoffed, turning her back on her first love. She won't repeat the same mistake of loving him ever again. ------------ WSA 2023 Entry: Billionaire/CEO/Mafia Exclusive cover by @khaizusan (Instagram) Tags: slowburn, weaktostrong, boss-subordinate, divorce Please note that the characters are not OP from the start.

Let This Be Your Good Luck Charm
More than two hours later, Liliana and Lucas finally came up with a few conclusions.
For the beginning stages of the cafe, only a few positions would be opened. Two cooks, one kitchen assistant, one barista and two helpers.
These positions might have changes in the future when the time was appropriate. There were also suited to the size of the cafe.
Lucas and Nancy already had their roles.
"Miss Xin, I don't need to bake cakes or make pastries all the time. I can assist in the kitchen if we're short-staffed. I learned a bit about coffee-making before so I can also help with it. Maybe one barista is enough for now."
Lucas knew Liliana wouldn't run out of funds even if she hired more people. But, it was better to be realistic.
As someone who used to work at a cafe for three years, Lucas had his fair share of required knowledge. He really wished that Liliana's cafe would be on its way to prospering.
