" Come here, follow me!"

  The moment that the stepmother was awoken from her daze, she immediately took Ray's hand and brought him to the upper floor of the building.

  While holding the stepmother's hand, Ray could feel that her hand was very smooth, unlike a woman in her thirties.

  It might not be comparable to Kyouko or Anna, but it still gave a very pleasant feeling to be held.

  The two entered the lift and went to the 79th floor, where the stepmother's office resides.

  Ray's stepmother was different than other secretaries. Because the boss was often away and only took over when something important happened, most of the thing inside the company was handled by Ray's stepmother, and she had her own office.

  You might say that it was stupid to let someone completely unrelated to you control your company. But Ray's stepmother and the Goddess sister were very close that the Goddess sister could leave the company in Ray's stepmother's hand without any fear.

  The Goddess sister one rescued Ray's stepmother before, and since then, Ray's stepmother has been very loyal to her.

  Ray's stepmother led Ray to her desk and let him sit on the chair while she was standing next to Ray, like a wife patiently waiting for her husband.

  " Ray, tell mom, how are you going these days?"

  " I'm very good, mom. Since coming to this city, I felt like my life had been getting a new turn. I've met some good friends, a good teacher and now I even have a beautiful and lovely stepmother by my side. It would be greedy if I was to want more, wasn't I?"

  Ray's answer was clearly out of the stepmother's prediction.

  Before, she had prepared herself in case that Ray would hate herself. But now that Ray said he was glad to have her by her side, somehow, her heart felt very warm.

  Her eyes almost got moist, but the stepmother was able to control herself.

  " Thank you, ray. I am also lucky to have such a lovely son like you."

  The two looked at each other intently, and if people looked at it, they would definitely mistake it as a pair of lovers.

  Ray's stepmother's face was so beautiful that people often mistook her age as in the early twenties.

  The two then began to chat, from something simple like their daily life or their hobbies to something more serious about love stories.

  Ray's stepmother laughed, smiled, and sometimes frowned when she heard Ray's stories. And unconsciously, the emotion she had revealed after only a few hours with Ray had exceeded all the emotion she had in all her life before.

  The relation between the two had gotten so much closer that some skin contact and hug began to act as a norm for the stepmother.

  But that happy time was always fated to last very short.

  Not long after Ray and the stepmother came to her office, a superbly beautiful woman came to the office lobby.

  Her smooth silk purple hair flowed like water, and her face was as charming as a Goddess.

  Her lips looked like it was very soft to kiss, and her eyes captivated everyone who saw them.

  The Goddess sister has come to the company to look for Ray's stepmother.

  She ignored everyone else and quickly went to Ray's stepmother's office.

  She opened the door as if it was the most natural thing to do, but she was very surprised when she saw a man inside the office.

  The Goddess Sister knew that her secretary had secretly married someone. But even though she never met her secretary's husband, she knew that it was definitely not this one.

  The man in front of him looked very charming, but he was only about 17 or 18 years old. And there's no way it was her secretary's husband.

  The Goddess sister's thought was full of question marks.

  Luckily, Ray's stepmother was quick to respond and started to explain the situation.

  " Miss, this is my stepson."

  The expression on the Goddess sister's face was full of disbelief. The stepson was way too charming, and she would rather believe it if Ray's stepmother said that Ray was her new boyfriend.

  But the weird expression quickly disappeared as Ray's stepmother continuously explained the situation, and in the end, the Goddess sister was somehow able to accept the fact that Ray was the stepson of her secretary.

  " Okay, okay, I understand. You don't need to explain anymore."

  The Goddess sister could only shake her head helplessly. Ray's stepmother was way too passionate when she explained about Ray.

  The two then continued to chat for a while before the Goddess sister's face suddenly turned serious.

  " That's enough talking. now let's get on to the serious matter."

  Looking at the serious expression of the Goddess sister, Ray's stepmother also knew that this was the time to get serious. She coughed twice to calm herself and immediately entered her work mode.

  " Okay, Miss, what is the business for today."

  The Goddess sister looked at Ray's stepmother, who quickly entered her serious work mode and nodded full of satisfaction. She is really worthy of being her right-hand man.

  " It's about the Vice-governor birthday party. At first, I thought I would be attending the birthday party with my little brother, but just now, I was told that my little brother was injured on a practical exam, and he couldn't come…"

  The Goddess sister didn't need to finish her explanation for Ray's stepmother to know what was going on.

  With his little brother out of the play, the Goddess sister currently had no one trustworthy enough to accompany her in the birthday party.

  It was not that the Goddess sister didn't have any male acquintance.

  In fact, she was a very social person with many acquintances.

  There was no way she could be a cold woman that was not close with anyone else and became the richest woman at the country at the same time.

  Nonetheless, being acquainted didn;t mean that they were trustworthy enough to accompany the Goddess sister to the birthday party.
