When he turned around, he saw her hurrying toward him. She asked, “What are you doing here?”
*Farrah! How dare you ignore me? I asked you for a million dollars, didn’t I? When are you going to give me the money?” Steven angrily grabbed her by the collar, wanting to snatch her bag. “You’ve leerhed off me for years. If you think you’re sovering ties with me and getting away just like that, you’re wrong!”
“What the hell are you doing? Let go! Let me go!” Farrah panicked. They were at the company’s entrance, and she didn’t want people to gossip if they caught her in a tussle with him.
The bodyguards didn’t approach to help. They didn’t know how she and Adrian were related, after all. They had no idea she was his wife.
Just then, a silver Bentley pulled over nearby. The door opened, and Corey Moore got out. He was young and handsome, and his simple outfit of a white shirt and black pants made him look chic.
As
soon
as he shut the door, he saw Steven and Farrah in their tussle. He was dazed when he caught a glimpse of Farrah’s side profile.
Was that the Farrah he knew and remembered?
He hurried forward, forgetting all about his arm, which had yet to completely recover. “Let her go!”
Steven was even angrier now that someone else was trying to break up the fight. He started hitting Corey, and they soon got into a fight.
“Stop it!” Farrah was stunned by this. She didn’t have time to see who the newcomer was–she had to break up the fight!
Just then, the bodyguards noticed that Corey was now involved in the fight. They hurried over to help, chasing Steven away after subduing him and giving him a fierce warning.
“Ouch!” Corey clutched his arm,
Farrah was anxious. “Are you okay? How’s your arm?”
She looked up, finally getting a clear look at Corey’s face. She was shocked and stared at him in disbelief. “Corey?”
His arm hurt like hell, but the fact that Farrah had recognized him after so many years delighted him. “You still remember me, Farrah!”
The memories of their time together in high school flooded his mind. He and Farrah had been in the same class, and he’d crushed on her like crazy. On the night of their high school graduation, he’d mustered the courage to confess his feelings to her. She’d let him down gently, though.”
Graduation generally led to separation, so Corey and Farrah hadn’t seen each other since.
Soon, the pain in Corey’s arm overwhelmed him, pulling him away from memory lane. He winced. “Ouch…”
“Hurry up and let me see.” Farrah rolled his sleeve up as she spoke. “Did you fracture your arm?”
“Wait, you can tell?” He was surprised. “I’ve just recovered from that.”
“I think you’ve fractured it again. You’ll need to do an X-ray at the hospital,” Farrah said. “You should head to the hospital now. It’ll be bad for you if you don’t get this attended to immediately.”

He was happy to see her so concerned about him. “Can you come with me, then?”
“Of course, I’m going with you!” He’d gotten hurt because of her, after all.
And so, Farrah accompanied Corey to the hospital. On the way there, she called Marie and asked for the day off.
An hour later, Corey sat on the bed in his ward. He’d already done an X–ray, and his arm was in a cast again.
He watched Farrah. She sat on the chair beside the bed and focused on peeling an apple for him. The atmosphere was peaceful.
Then, Farrah said, “You have to rest well and take good care of your arm, okay? It won’t be that easy to deal with it if you fracture it again.”
She was worried about him. When he looked into her eyes, he felt a familiarity that he hadn’t felt in a long time. It came from the memories of his youth.
Corey felt like he was dreaming. He couldn’t believe the heavens had arranged for them to meet again.
Farrah occasionally glanced at him while peeling the apple. “Are you working at Prestige Group, too? I’m in the design department, and today’s the second day of my internship. What about you?” Corey answered happily, “I’m Mr. Locke’s special assistant. I work at the CEO’s office.”
