Roza froze. Her heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp icicle.
“Alright.”
She responded softly, her trembling hand reaching into her coat pocket. Slowly, she pulled out a badge that she had kept close to
her heart, clutching it tightly in her palm.
Then, she turned around.
At this moment, Axel was looking at her intently, extending his hand toward her.
Roza pressed her pale lips together and placed the badge in his palm. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, his strong hand
suddenly wrapped around hers and pulled her forcefully.
Caught off guard, Roza was pulled into his embrace. Without giving her a chance to react, Axel held her by the waist and sealed
her lips with a passionate, intense kiss. The kiss deepened, bing more demanding. His possessiveness overwhelmed her as
he explored her lips and tongue.

Roza’s mind bechazy, her nerve endings tingling as if electrified. She began to embrace him passionately, responding to him.
After a long kiss, Axel reluctantly pulled away from her lips, gently holding her chin with his fingertips, a slight smile playing on his
lips. “Earlier, your face went pale. Were you scared that | would really leave and take it back?”
“No, you're so full of yourself...” Roza's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked with emotion.
“That stubbornness—did you learn it from your master?” Axel sighed, both indulgent and helpless, pulling her into his arms again.
“What's the use of having everything else? | don’t care. | only like you. You're the best thing in the world to me.”
In that moment, all hesitation and doubt shattered one by one under the man's unwavering decision.
“My darling Roza, please be my girlfriend.”
Axel’s eyes shimmered with a sincere light like twinkling stars. “From now on, letlove you, cherish you, and take care of you.
Whatever you've lost before, whatever you haven't received, letslowly find it back for you. Please, givethis chance.”
He wasn’t good at fancy words, and these few sentences were the best he could muster after racking his brain.
In the end, Roza couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. Tears streamed down her face as she nodded gently.
In that instant, Axel felt as if the whole world had burst into color, with fireworks exploding in his heart.
He gently cupped her neck again and kissed her deeply, their embrace tender and passionate.

Bella was busy with her eldest brother's handover, so she couldn't go to Savrow for the appointment with Roza. Instead, she sent
her second brother to retrieve the clothes.
Picking up the clothes was secondary. The main goal was to create an opportunity for him to meet Roza. Even if both parties were
interested in each other, without a meeting, how could sparks of love possibly ignite?
Bella was busy all day—reviewing project proposals, studying the executive profiles of the group, assessing the current financial
situation... Although Justin was there to help heranize, she still felt dizzy, tired, and sore.

“Phew... I'm so exhausted.”
The petite woman leaned softly into the man’s embrace, resembling a beautiful but tired robot. “How can there be so much to do?
Did my eldest brother live such a busy life before?”
“Are you regretting it even before taking up the new position?” Justin chuckled softly, reaching up to massage her sore temples. “As
someone who's been through it, | have to warn you, this is just the beginning. When you officially take over, countless tasks will
await you. You'll be even more stressed then.”
“Regret? Hmph, those words don’t exist in Bella Thompson's life dictionary.”
Bella lifted her little face, pouting. “Just watch. Not only will | do it, but I'll do it well. Just like when | took over the KS World Hotel. |
said | would surpass the Salvador Hotel, and | did. Look, didn't | do well? Impressive results, right?”
Justin adored her proud and playful demeanor, kissing her forehead. “Looking back, your spirit is unmatched. My Bella is
exceptionally talented, exuding queenly grace.”
He added, “Or perhaps | should give the Salvador Hotel to you. You would surely bring new vitality to it.”
“Um, let's et about that. | know you have a strained relationship with your father, but let's not go too far.”
