Chapter 1CHAPTER 1 - EMPTY

"Mrs Ginny," called a woman who was now right in front of her.

"I think Hendry Cho has heard all this," she continued.

"Listen to what?" Ginny asked. Trying to be busy reading all the articles about her company. The Royals, the UK's largest perfume company which has been recognized by various parts of the world in Europe.

"That you can't lead The Royal well," the woman said quietly.

Ginny take a deep breath. She knows very well that her biggest mistake by working with a foreign company a few months ago had a very bad impact on the company and also his career.

Both The Royal and himself, received a lot of scary criticism from various parties. Even the sales of The Royals perfume had a lot of setbacks.

"I would never give this company to anyone," Ginny said quietly. She tried to control the tone of his voice so as not to sound angry or vibrate.

"Just to manage it, you just need to rest and let someone else manage this company of yours,"

"Oh, Ivanka ..." trying to roll eyes while holding her forehead with one hand. "How can I put my trust in someone else to manage The Royal?" Ginny continued.

"In the future of your career and also the safety of your company," said Ivanka again.

Ginny shook her head vigorously. "Nope! I have you as well as staff who are very competent in their fields. I can protect all of this."

Ginny couldn't easily trust other people, especially if she had to trust someone else to manage the company she had worked so hard for herself. Of course she would reject it outright.

For Ginny, The Royals are a part of her life, her happiness that can support herself and her small family. Since childhood Ginny was raised alone by her biological mother. Her difficult life made Ginny determined that when she grew up she didn't want to make her child feel the pain she felt.

"Have you visited your mother's grave?" Ivanka asked then.

"Not yet," said Ginny. "This weekend I'm going to visit him with Fiona and Dave," Ginny continued.

Ivanka smiled as she gently patted Ginny's shoulder. "Stretch your shoulders, I'm sure you can get through this," she said.

"Certainly."

***

Nothing is impossible for a Ginny Albright, she is willing to do anything so that she can make her little family happy. Ginny always put material first for her life and also for Fiona and Dave.

Ginny was willing to work hard day and night so that she could provide for Fiona's needs. Her mediocre childhood life made Ginny think that all the materials she got could make herself and those closest to her feel happy.

There's nothing wrong with that, but the problem is that Ginny always hides all her sad feelings alone. She always carries the burden that she had alone.

"I can't look after Fiona tonight, please help me..." Ginny sulk at Dave.

"Are you going to another meeting?" Dave asked softly.

Ginny nodded her head. "I'm sorry Dave, I promise when all this case is over I'll be back to spend my time with you and Fiona,"

"Take care of yourself, Fiona and I miss you so much. But before you go, can we have dinner together first?"

Ginny bite her lower lip as she glanced at the watch wrapped around her wrist. Her face showed that she really had to leave immediately.

Luckily, Dave really understands Ginny's busy schedule, who is currently taking care of the good name of The Royals and also The Royals' income which is decreasing day by day.

"Go on, I know you're in a big hurry," Dave said as he rubbed the top of Ginny's head gently.

"Thanks, Dave." Ginny smiled and left.

There was something Ginny knew about Dave. About a man who has lived with him for years. Behind the affection and attention that Dave showed, Ginny knew very well that Dave was having an affair with another woman behind his back.

Ginny didn't want to show how disappointed she was for Dave, she was too busy thinking about Fiona's happiness. Over and over again Ginny blamed herself for everything that had now happened to her life.

She felt that Dave betrayed her because she couldn't work harder and couldn't give him what he wanted.

"Are you crying?" Ivanka asked from the car in the courtyard of Ginny's luxurious mansion.

"Good grief!" Ginny quickly wiped her tears and smiled at Ivanka. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"To pick you up to accompany you to a meeting," said Ivanka later.

"Go home, after all you only need to work in the office," said Ginny while still getting on Ivanka's car.

"I'm your private secretary, aren't I? I have to accompany you wherever you go," Ivanka replied and drove slowly.

Even though she is no longer young, Ivanka is still healthy and can do anything. Her husband was long gone so she preferred to accompany Ginny wherever Ginny went.

"It's about Dave?" Ivanka asked carefully. Ivanka already knew what Dave was really doing behind Ginny's back. But, he didn't have the heart to tell Ginny the truth.

"Dave?" Ginny asked back. "Of course not, how can Dave make me cry. He's the most perfect man I've ever had," said Ginny.

"Then?" "The Royals. I'm thinking about the fate of my company," said Ginny again, faster than ever.

Ivanka paused, then smiled. "Our trip today isn't for a meeting, is it?"

"Ha?" Ginny was surprised. How can the woman who is now beside her always know what she wants.

"You lied to Dave?" Ivanka asked again.

"For what? I really have a meeting. Don't you see my schedule that today I need to meet some important clients," Ginny replied.

"There is no meeting today, rest. I know you desperately contacted all important clients of The Royals and they all rejected you," said Ivanka firmly.

Ginny covered her face with her hands. It feels like the world is really against him now. How can the company he built is now almost bankrupt, and the man he loves so much is playing crazy with other women behind his back.

"Take me to that place," Ginny said quietly.

Ivanka knew very well, now Ginny was just trying to avoid Dave and didn't want to show the sadness and pressure she was experiencing in front of her husband.

"Aren't you tired?" Ivanka asked while pouring Ginny's favorite white wine.

"I just need to work even harder to make Dave and Fiona happy," Ginny said.

For Ginny, the most important thing was the happiness of the people she cared about the most. She forgets, that his happiness also needs to be found.

"Ginny Albright?" asked a handsome and tall man who was now right beside her

It’s a difficult life, but it’s a happy one. A freak accident puts an end to that. As Leslie lies dying on the road, watching Calliope breathe her last, she curses her helplessness. Calliope’s crochet fox seems to hear her. It opens its mouth and asks, “Do you want to see your daughter again? If so, follow me. Her soul has already left for another world.” Leslie agrees. That’s the last thing she remembers before losing consciousness. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself—or rather, her soul—standing beside her unconscious body on a hospital bed. “How is this supposed to help me find Calliope!” she exclaims. “This is not your body. Your body is dead. This is my original host, Charlene Li,” explains the toy fox. “You can possess her body to find Calliope, but if you do, you must finish her uncompleted mission for her.” “And what mission is that?” “To marry the second most eligible CEO in the city.” ‘This,’ Leslie concludes, ‘is a scam.’ But she has no other choice. ********** Meanwhile, the second most eligible bachelor in the city, Calix Xu, is patting himself on the back for thwarting his grandmother’s attempts to marry him off.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?
