The atmosphere in one of the private rooms in one of the famous restaurants became quiet. Elizabeth was still sitting where she was with a frightened look on her face, but in her heart she was really annoyed.

Wasn't the plan perfect?

She had approached Mrs. Collins, had her blessing, and asked for dinner together with Michael.

They should have had dinner together by now, and started over their relationship!

Why did everything turn out like this?!

Meanwhile, Michael looked at Elizabeth who currently looked very frightened. It made Michael a little uncomfortable to see the woman who put on such an expression.

However, Michael knew he had to do something.

He had warned her not to do anything, and instead of listening to him, she did something!

Elizabeth had crossed a line she shouldn't have crossed.

"Tomorrow, you don't have to come to work at Collins."

Michael's cold voice filled the silence in the private room.

"What?!" Elizabeth immediately snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Michael's words. "You fired me?!" asked Elizabeth, rising from her seat.

"You should be grateful I just fired you!" said Michael irritably, not expecting the woman to look annoyed instead of grateful.

"You met my mom, lied to her, and now you're lying about your pregnancy!" continued Michael.

Elizabeth fell silent when she heard that. She didn't expect Michael to find out that she lied about her pregnancy!

"It's because I love you, Michael!" said Elizabeth desperately.

"But I don't!" Michael argued emphatically.

Over the years he has been close to Elizabeth, but only as a friend with benefits.

He didn't want to take the risk of going outside to find prostitutes and ruining his reputation, so he did it with Elizabeth.

But Michael never once fell in love with that woman.

"This is the last warning, Elizabeth! You should be grateful I just fired you!" threatened Michael in a stern tone, the expression on his face also showed that he was serious about what he said.

"The finance department will pay your salary in full this month, and you will also receive severance pay. It's my kindness because you've been with me all this time. I hope you find your happiness, Elizabeth."

After saying that, Michael immediately left the room.

He knew he should have been more strict with Elizabeth, but it seemed the best for her. With the amount of money that woman earned, she can start a new, more decent life.

At least… that's what Michael thought.

However, Elizabeth's expression looked very annoyed as soon as Michael had left the room. Her hands were tightly clenched.

"You fired me just because of this?!" Elizabeth muttered then bit her lower lip.

"No, Michael! You are mine!" Elizabeth whispered quietly and coldly.

Her plan this time was too hasty as she thought Michael would follow Mrs. Collins' orders, but it wasn't over yet! Michael couldn't just let her go after all their years together!

***

After leaving the restaurant, Michael immediately started his car to go to his apartment. He looked at his watch which was already nine o'clock when he finally got out of the private elevator that took him to his apartment unit.

Michael sighed in disappointment when he saw that the lights in the kitchen and dining room had been turned off. That meant the Twins had gone to bed.

The living room, dining room and kitchen were on the same floor and were not separated by a door at all, so turning off the lights signaled that the Twins and Sarah had entered their bedroom.

Michael's gaze then suddenly caught the figure of someone standing on the balcony with her back to him, it was Sarah.

Michael just stared at the woman for a while, maybe right now Sarah just wanted to see her favorite sight and didn't want to be disturbed, so Michael decided to immediately go to the second floor to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Michael immediately went back down to find something he could eat in the refrigerator, but he was surprised to see Sarah still in her position. Michael decided to immediately walk over to the woman.

Once he finally stayed a few steps near Sarah, Michael's hands subconsciously rose and yearned to move into the gap between Sarah's hands and her waist.

Hugging her from behind, as they had often done in the past when he still thought that Sarah was his wife.

Michael stayed where he was, he wanted so badly to hug her, but… he knew Sarah wouldn't like him to do it, but he wanted to hug her!

***

Sarah stared at the city view that she never got tired of seeing, the occasional night breeze hit her and made her hair hit her face, but Sarah didn't mind that and just brushed her hair behind her ear again.

At this moment, Sarah's brain was thinking about something. That is her career.

She had applied to many small clinics and hospitals for the position of a doctor, but for several days no one had called her except for an interview offer at that time.

She knew that right now her life and the Twins were decent, they didn't have to pay for their housing or food, but this was only temporary.

They will only stay here for a few months, and after that they will return to their real world.

Sarah also didn't expect any inheritance from Mr Collins, she knew it would help her a lot to support the Twins, but her pride wouldn't allow it.

They were her children, and she could support them herself!

"Should I apply to work as a cashier?" Sarah thought as the thought crossed her mind.

If she applied as a cashier, whether it was in a restaurant, cafe, or shopping mall, Sarah believed her chances of being accepted would be even greater.

Her salary might not be as much as a doctor's salary, but at least she would earn money every month and be able to save it for the Twins' education expenses later.

Sarah shook her head immediately. She didn't mean to belittle the cashier, but she had fought hard during college, clinical clerkship, and residency as a doctor with sweat, blood, and tears!

She couldn't just throw away all her hard work. She could have lowered her ego to become a regular doctor instead of a surgeon because surgeons were busier, but if she had to leave to become a doctor and switch professions, Sarah wasn't ready to do so.

"What should I do? Should I think about becoming a surgeon again?" Sarah thought and sighed.

Steve again offers her that he can help her to work in the hospital where they worked back then but that as a surgeon when she visits Steve's house, but Sarah refuses the offer.

Suddenly, Sarah was surprised when she noticed Michael's presence.
