Paul was usually not one to raise his voice. Hearing his shout, all three in the room fell silent.
“…I’m not sure what’s going on, but let’s go down quickly.”
Louisa rose from her seat and suggested.
The three hurried out of the room.
However, Paul, who had already come up the stairs and was standing at the end of the hallway, was visible. Edward, puzzled, asked,
“What’s the rush? What’s happening?”
“Mr. Theodore Gilford is urgently looking for you, Master. He says it’s an emergency and asks for you to come out quickly. And this.”
Paul handed him a small piece of paper he was holding.
“A telegram?”
“Yes. Mr. Theodore Gilford asked me to give it to you.”
Edward took the paper from Paul and unfolded it.
Reading it, Edward’s face froze.
What does this mean?
As his hand trembled, Louisa, sensing something was seriously wrong, asked,
“Ed?”
Hearing her call, he lowered his head.
Louisa’s worried face was visible. Edward clenched his trembling hand.
He needed to calm down. Panicking would solve nothing.
“Ed? Are you okay? What’s happening?”
Louisa’s voice reached him. He took a deep breath.
Staying here would only worry Louisa more. It was a race against time, and every minute counted.
He quickly made a decision.
“Sorry… sorry. You go ahead to the party.”
“Ed!”
Edward left, ignoring Louisa’s call, and hurriedly ran out.
Louisa, unable to even think of changing her dress coat, helplessly watched her husband’s retreating figure. She couldn’t hide her confusion and asked,
“Paul? Do you know what’s happening?”
“I’m not sure myself. Only what I’ve just told you…”
“Did you say it was Sir Theodore Gilford?”
“Yes, Madam.”
‘Sir Theodore? That must be something about the company.’
Louisa recalled her husband mentioning the company wasn’t doing well recently.
She had never seen Edward look so pale. Was there a serious problem?
Maybe Geoffrey Curtis would know if it was about the company.
‘Right. I’ll send a telegram to Mr. Curtis—’
As she was about to head to the telegram office, she stopped herself.
‘No. Even if I ask, he won’t tell me.’
Geoffrey was a man of few words, and without Edward’s permission, he would not reveal anything.
Hopefully, it wasn’t something serious.
With anxiety, Louisa clasped her hands tightly and said,
“Let’s start preparing again. It’s His Majesty’s birthday, after all. We must be there on time.”
She resumed her solo party preparations.
“Gilford!”
Screeching to a halt, Edward’s black car stopped abruptly.
Gilford, holding a folder of documents, ran towards him.
“Master!”
Bang, Gilford roughly closed the car door as he got in.
“Is everything else ready? Do you have the blueprint?”
“It’s not with me. We need to go to the lab.”
“Damn it.”
Gilford, usually so concerned about appearances, cursed softly.
“Hold on tight.”
Edward floored the accelerator. With a jolt, the sudden start threw both men backward due to inertia.
“The patent office employee lost the documents, so they can’t proceed with the evaluation,” Gilford explained anxiously.
“Fortunately, I knew someone who informed me immediately. Otherwise, if we had waited for the official communication, it would have taken at least a few days to get the message.”
“Is it an accident or a scheme?” Edward muttered.
“It’s obvious. The documents were lost right after submission. It couldn’t have happened unless someone took them.”
Again, the vehicle jolted, rocking roughly. Gilford grabbed the handle attached to the door.
“Who informed you?”
“A patent office employee named Wornon. We’ve had a lot of dealings, so I’ve had a few things over him.”
“Good job. If this is successfully resolved, I’ll give you a bonus.”
Gilford would normally have been openly pleased, but he still spoke with a voice full of tension.
“I’m not sure if we can make it in time.”
“It’s fine. Today is a royal-hosted party, and if a noble is missing on such a day, it’s as good as advertising that I’m the culprit. They can’t do anything today.”
“But it’s still a patent we need to capture.”
“True, my research is remarkable.”
Gilford chuckled at his joke.
“Seeing you joke even now, I guess you’ll be fine.”
As they approached the lab, the gatekeepers came to check the visitors.
But the speeding car didn’t slow down. The gatekeepers, realizing an emergency, shouted,
“Stop them! Intruders!”
Then one of them recognized the car’s number and shouted,
“No, it’s the boss! Open the gate!”
“What? Wait, it’s not fully open yet!”
“Watch out! It’s going to hit!”
Crash!
The car recklessly smashed through half of the gate and stopped abruptly in front of the lab with a screeching halt.
Attracted by the noise, Jeffrey rushed out of the lab. Seeing the wrecked car and familiar faces, he asked bewilderedly,
“Boss?”
“Jeffrey! Bring the blueprint!”
“What?”
“The blueprint!”
“Yes, yes!”
Confused but obedient, Jeffrey hurried off at his boss’s command.
“Where’s the blueprint?”
“Here!”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
