Lily and Mira stood outside chatting when a car pulled up in front of them. The door opened, and Leon, Mira’s fiancé and a popular actor, stepped out. He wore a mask to conceal his identity, avoiding unnecessary attention in public. 

“There you are,” Leon greeted warmly as he approached. He placed a gentle kiss on Mira’s forehead, a small gesture that made her smile. Turning to Lily, he added, “Hi, Lily” 

“Hello, Leon,” Lily replied politely with a smile. 

“Why don’t we give you a ride home?” Leon offered, taking Mira’s hand in his as he spoke. 

Before Lily could respond, Mira giggled and interjected, “Oh, no need! Lily’s boyfriend is coming to pick her up.” She grinned mischievously and added, “I think we should wait until he gets here.” 

Leon nodded in agreement. “Of course. It wouldn’t feel right to leave her here alone at this hour.” 

Lily immediately shook her head. “That’s really not necessary. You two should go ahead. I’ll be fine,” she insisted, not wanting to trouble them. 

Mira, however, wouldn’t hear of it. “No way, Lily. We’re staying. It’s too late to leave you by yourself, and it won’t be long anyway.” She turned to Leon for support. “Right, baby?” 

Leon gave a small nod, siding with his fiancée. “She’s right. We’ll wait with you.” 

Mira smirked playfully. “Besides, maybe I’ll get a chance to meet this mysterious boyfriend of yours.” 

Lily chuckled softly at the teasing. “Sure, if you insist.” But as she glanced at her phone, a strange uneasiness -settled in her chest. She couldn’t explain it, but something felt off. Shaking her head, she tried to push the 

feeling aside. 

Meanwhile, Assistant Ben was having a rare good evening. The past week had been overwhelming, with Corporations taking on numerous new projects. He had worked tirelessly, often sacrificing sleep, to keep up with the demands of his role. 

Today, however, felt different. To his surprise, his boss, Mr. Ethan, had allowed him to leave work early. Though Ben liked to imagine it was because his boss genuinely cared for him, the reality was far less flattering–Ethan simply needed to pick up his wife, and no urgent tasks required Ben’s attention. 

Still, Ben was secretly grateful to Lily for bringing a positive change to the workplace. Since her arrival in Ethan’s life, everyone at the Corporations had enjoyed a slightly less stressful environment. 

After finishing a simple dinner at home, Ben changed into his pajamas, ready to catch up on much–needed sleep. Just as he was about to climb into bed, his phone buzzed loudly on the bedside table. 

Frowning at the interruption, Ben grabbed his phone. The call was from an unknown number. Confused but curious, he answered, “Hello?” 

A harsh male voice came through on the other end. “Your precious boss has been in an accident. He’s currently admitted at Life Care Hospital.” 

The words hit Ben like a thunderbolt. “What?!” he nearly shouted, his voice trembling with shock. His hands began to shake as panic set in.

stared at his phone, his mind racing.

Assistant Ben stared at his phone in disbelief, his mind racing. The person on the other end had already hung up, leaving him in a state of panic. Shaking himself out of the shock, he hurriedly opened his closer and threw on the first clothes he could grab. 

As he ran toward the door, a sudden thought froze him in his tracks. Miss Lily! He slapped his forehead in frustration. How could he forget her? Without wasting another moment, he pulled out his phone and quickly dialed her number. 

Meanwhile, Lily stood outside with Mira and Leon, anxiously waiting for Ethan to arrive. She had tried multiple times to convince the couple to leave, but they insisted on staying with her. Though she appreciated their company, her growing unease gnawed at her. 

Ethan was late–far later than usual. Something didn’t feel right. 

She pulled out her phone, ready to call him, when it buzzed in her hand. The screen lit up with a name she hadn’t expected: Assistant Ben. 

Frowning, she answered the call. “Hello, Assistant Ben?” 

The voice on the other end was frantic. “M–Miss Lily… It’s about the boss. He… He’s been in an accident. He’s at Life Care Hospital.” 

For a moment, Lily’s world came crashing down. Her breath caught in her throat, and her knees buckled. “W–what?” she whispered, her voice trembling. 

“Lily!” Mira cried out, rushing to catch her before she collapsed completely. Leon stepped closer, alarmed by the sudden change in her demeanor. 

Clutching Mira’s arm for support, Lily pressed the phone back to her ear. “What did you say? Are you sure?” she stammered, desperately hoping she’d misheard. 

“Yes, Ma’am. I’m on my way to the hospital now. Please come as soon as you can,” Ben’s voice pleaded before the line went dead. 

Lily’s hands trembled, and the phone slipped from her grasp, falling to the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered, “Ethan…” 

“Lily, what happened?” Mira demanded, her voice filled with concern. “Who was that? Why are you crying?” 

Leon placed a steadying hand on her shoulder. “Talk to us, Lily. What’s going on?” 

Choking back a sob, Lily managed to speak through her tears. “Mira… Leon… please take me to Life Care Hospital. Ethan… he’s had an accident.”
