As their departure after lunch approached, a pang of reluctance settled in Annabelle's heart. Her affection for Jeremy had blossomed further during their seclusion.

You can marry someone else or do whatever else you want. There's five million dollars in this card." Despite succumbing to his desires with Annabelle, his heart harbored a gnawing fear. The call from Natalie two days ago served as a stark reminder. He couldn't lose her.
Annabelle stared at the card, taking a deep breath. "Didn't you promise I could stay as long as I behaved? Haven't I been compliant? I cater to your every whim, and when you lose interest, I'm simply your secretary again. Haven't I been flawless at work? Is this still not enough?" Her fists clenched, her heart a constricted knot. It had to be Natalie. This ordinary woman threatened to unravel all her meticulously laid plans.
"No," Jeremy replied curtly.
He rose, methodically putting on his clothes. The finality in his demeanor brooked no argument.
Annabelle's face drained of color. "Since starting college in Jipsburg City, I vowed never to leave the city. Mr. Hughes, you can't be this selfish. I can resign, disappear from your sight entirely." Her voice trembled with forced resolve.
