After breakfast.
Starla headed straight to the Hoggart Group headquarters. Under Elmer's strict instructions, the executive team was slowly integrating her into the corporate machinery.
His goal was clear: he wanted her positioned as a secondary authority within the empire!
Given her prior experience running a biotech firm in Marina City.
She adapted rapidly.
Right around noon!
Her phone buzzed. It was Herbert Farley.
"Lunch together?" he asked as soon as she answered.
Starla paused.
She checked the time.
"Is there something specific you need to discuss?"
"I'll be heading back to Marina City in about two or three days," Herbert said smoothly.
Starla was quiet.
Going back to Marina City!
It felt a little sudden.
"Alright, then."
"I'll pick you up."
"Okay."
After hanging up.
Starla stared at her screen in silence. He was leaving in two days.
He was maintaining the perfect distance.
He knew she despised feeling suffocated right now, and he respected that boundary flawlessly.
Now that he knew Yardley wouldn't dare cross her, he felt secure enough to leave!
...
For lunch!
Herbert chose a new restaurant, but the flavor profile was exactly what Starla loved.
His attention to detail was impeccable.
He had committed every one of her preferences to memory.
"How's the food today?" he asked, his voice warm and steady.
"It's perfect."
She picked up a piece of Sweet and Sour Chicken Pieces he had placed on her plate. It was her absolute favorite cuisine.
Herbert smiled softly, pleased with her approval.

"You're a failure as a husband and coward as a Man" This is what i want to say in Fairfax hahaha you dont deserved a wife if you cant protect her...
Hahaha This plot of story i hate about, choosing another girl instead of your own wife is something unreal, you didnt considered your wife feeling, you didnt even trust her and later on you will say sorry?? Was sorry will fixed everything you've done? Was sorry fixed her heart? it was unfair for your wife, you must choose your wife whatever it is. You know your wife well more than anyone else and the only person she should lean on was the person who pushes her away...
