Chapter 54


    Ang felt a bit surprised.


    ''He could''ve taken care of his showerst night, but he had me do it. Is he messing up with me?'' she wondered.


    Seeing Ang''s displeased expression, Kevin couldn''t resist speaking up. "Everything okay with Mr. Sinir?" Ang shook her head, "No issues. You guys can head in. I''ve got to head to work."


    "Sure thing."


    Once Ang left, Kevin and Tony went into the vi.


    Keh''s face was cold. "What was Ang asking you at the door?"


    "She asked about how you bath."


    Keh frowned, a touch of coldness in his eyes. "What did you tell her?"


    "I said you usually handle it yourself."


    Feeling Keh''s mood sour, Kevin had a bad feeling.


    "Did I mess up, Mr. Sinir?" he asked.


    Keh''s expression stayed indifferent. "Next time Ang asks about me, just tell her you''re not sure."


    "Got it."


    He rubbed his temples, feeling a headacheing on.


    Their rtionship was already tense, and he didn''t know how to handle it if she found out he lied.


    *****


    Throughout the day, Ang was on edge and annoyed because of Keh''s antics from the previous night. To make matters worse, Frank fueled the fire by bringing a new contract for Ang to sign.


    After going through it, Ang circled several ring issues and tossed the contract in front of Frank.


    "I''m starting to wonder if you''re a spy from our rivalpany, Mr. ck. If I sign this contract, Empyria Group might copse tomorrow, and we might even end up in jail."


    Lowering his head, Frank scowled at the circled areas.


    This contract came from Peter, who developed a grudge against Ang after their confrontation. Peter created this contract as a trap.


    Peter said that he just nned to give Ang a minor setback and promised to clear the debt Frank owed him once Ang signed. That was why Frank agreed.


    "Ms. Lewis, what does that mean? I''ve given my all to thispany for years, and everyone knows it. Sure, this contract has ws, but they are honest mistakes. Why doubt me like this?"


    Lately, Ang didn''t want to target shareholders, especially afterying off many employees. However, Frank''s recent behavior left her no choice but to let him go.


    "Remember, Mr. ck, I''m the one who gave you those shares."


    Frank''s face stiffened. "What are you suggesting? While it''s true you gave me the shares, don''t forget, I''ve done you a solid!"


    Ang smirked, nodding. "True, but managing apany isn''t your strong suit. Enjoying dividends at home every year sounds good, doesn''t it?" Frank''s face turned sour and angry as he stared at Ang. "What do you mean? Are you asking me to resign?"


    Entering the board was a hard-fought battle for him, and Ang, on her return, wanted him out. ''Just uneptable,'' he thought.


    "Mr. ck, your department consistently performs the worst. I don''t want to embarrass everyone. Within three days, resign from the board on your terms. Thepany will provide the dividends you deserve, and you''ll have plenty of time to enjoy life."


    "You!"


    Frank was nearly boiling with anger, his face filled with resentment.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Ang stayed calm, looking at him and saying slowly, "Think it over and give me your answer."


    Frank red at Ang, gritting his teeth. "No need to think. I won''t resign from the board. Even if you''re the CEO, you don''t have the authority to dismiss me."


    With that, Frank left in a huff.


    Back in his office, still upset, Frank dialed Peter''s number.


    "Mr. Wilson, when are you avable? I''d like to meet regarding the proposal you mentioned. After some thought, I think it''s a good idea."


    After Frank hung up the phone, a cold glint flickered in his eyes.


    ''Ang, if you''re gonna be ruthless, I''ll y hardball too,'' he thought.


    In the evening, when Ang got back home, Keh was in the living room, going through some papers.


    When he heard the door open, he set the files aside and turned to Ang. "Dinner''s on the table. Grab a bite."


    Ang''s face was frosty as she


    walked over and took a seat across from him. "Let''s hold off on dinner, for now. Before we get to that, M Sinir, care to exin why, even though you''re perfectly capable of handling your own bath, you had me do it for youst night?"


    Keh stayed cool, locking eyes with Ang. "Sure, I could manage it myself, but it''s easier if you do it, and besides, you''re my wife." Ang tightened her lips and dered coldly, "I''m not doing that anymore."


    Noticing her slightly flushed ears, Keh chuckled, "Fine."


    After dinner, Ang cleaned up and grabbed some fruit before heading to the living room to watch TV while snacking. ncing at Keh nearby, she couldn''t help but furrow her brows. ''Isn''t he supposed to be working?'' she wondered.


    After a while of TV, Keh, finding


    it a bit dull, turned to Ang. Seeing that she was enjoying it, he couldn''t help butment, "Is that really that interesting?"


    "If you''re not into it, go and work in the study or find something else to do."


    When he saw Ang''s indifferent look, Keh''s gaze intensified. Just as he was about to say something, the doorbell rang unexpectedly. Ang got up to answer the door and was surprised to find Owen and Upton outside, both looking a bit disheveled.


    "Are you here to meet Mr. Sinir?" she asked.


    Owen and Upton clearly didn''t expect Ang to be there. They exchanged nces, and Owen smiled, "Yeah, hope we''re not interrupting."


    "Not at all. Come on in."


    After settling them in the living room, Ang went to make coffee.


    Owen and Upton sat on the couch, their faces full of concern.


    Keh''s demeanor was chilly. "I''m not dead yet. No need for the sad faces."


    Owen sighed, unable to hold back. "Your legs. Are they really incurable?"


    When Keh had the car ident, Owen and Upton were on a business trip abroad and only learned about it upon their return. And they immediately rushed here.


    "I don''t know, but there''s probably not much hope. Colin said it hit the old injury spot and it''s worse this time. Standing up again is pretty much impossible."


    Seeing Keh''s calm attitude, Owen frowned, "I''ll go abroad and find some experts. There might still be a shot."


    Upton, who hadn''t spoken, suddenly suggested. "I remember your leg got fixed by that miraculous doc, Avery, right? Why not have him check it out?"


    Keh pressed his lips together. "We''ll discuss itter."


    Even though Avery had healed his leg before, Keh had never met the person. He even didn''t know whether the doctor was a guy or not. Ang was always the one in touch with the doctor.

    Despite Ang promising to find a way to heal his leg once he recovered, Keh didn''t hold much hope.


    After a moment of silence, Owen spoke up. "Why do I feel like you''re not as worried about your leg this time?"


    Keh, about to respond, saw Anging over with two cups of coffee.


    She set the coffee in front of Owen and Upton, her expression calm as she said, "I''m heading back to my room. Call me if you need anything."


    After Ang left, Keh spoke expressionlessly, "When the ident happened, I had a gut feeling and mentally prepared myself that I might not walk again."


    Besides, he didn''t want to divorce Ang. In his heart, if sticking around meant she''d help him through a life of not being able to stand, it didn''t seem too bad.
