      &quot;Here you go honey..&quot; My mom bought me a corn soup and I smiled.
      &quot;Thanks mom.&quot;
      &quot;Are you sure that you don't need to go to the hospital? It's been a week.&quot;
      &quot;I'm fine, mom. I'm getting better.&quot;
      &quot;How come your boyfriend never comes to check on you?&quot; My mom hissed and that's right. Austin never came to check on me. He only called for a couple minutes and it was like 3 days ago. He never cared about me. It's crazy..
      &quot;We video call a lot, mom.&quot; I lied.
      &quot;At least, he needs to spare time for you.&quot;
      &quot;He's a busy mom and I have to understand that.&quot; I smiled weakly and scooped a spoon of the soup.
      &quot;Mom.. this is the best.&quot; I pointed at the soup and she smiled.
      &quot;I'll make it again if you want to.&quot;
      &quot;I want it.. pleas

      &quot;That's all for today gentlemen, you can dismiss.&quot; I said and all my employees left the meeting room. Suddenly Blake knocked on the door and walked inside.
      &quot;Why knocking you idiot when the door is widely open?&quot; I hissed and he chuckled.
      &quot;How's the deal?&quot; He asked.
      &quot;Everything is good. Violet is really useful for all these deals..&quot;
      &quot;Dude.. Using her is not a good thing.&quot;
      &quot;I'm getting married to her anyway.&quot;
      &quot;What?&quot; He asked me in disbelief.
      &quot;We're getting married in 2 months.&quot;
      &quot;So you like her now?&quot; He teased me and I shook my head.
      &quot;Not a bit, I'm just using her. I will get married to her and divorce her after I get the York Company deal.&quot;
      &quot;Dude, you're a devil! How can you be so cruel? Using her like

      &quot;Violet.. Violet..&quot; I called her as I walked into my apartment in New York. Where is she?
      &quot;Violet..&quot; I called again and looked around the living room and the kitchen but none. I walked inside my room and saw she was laying on my bed.
      &quot;Violet.&quot; I called but there's no answer from her. I walked towards her and she's sleeping.. wait.. why is her face so pale and she's sweating? I quickly put the back of my hand to her forehead. It's burning..
      &quot;Violet.. Violet..&quot; I called and shook her body. She opened her eyes.
      &quot;Hmm?&quot;
      &quot;You're sick.. Let's go to the hospital.&quot; I said and she shook her head.
