Chasing After My Wife Chapter 108
Advertisement
There's a freshly brewed coffee and it was still steaming hot. She picked up a brown tray that she found from one of the cupboards, placed fourteen saucers and fourteen cups on it.
"Boss Madam, let me pour the coffee. It will be bad if you get a scald from it." the bodyguard stated and helped her.
Jillyanna didn't argue with him and decided to find teaspoon for each coffee. She placed two sachets of coffee creamer on the saucer since she didn't know if they like it black or creamy.
"What's your name?" Jillyanna asked the man who's helping her.
"Just call me Top, young madam." he answered her while pouring the coffee.
Jillyanna nodded her head to acknowledge him. "Thanks for helping me Top. Just carry these and give to the shareholders. It looked to me that they will sleep anytime soon in that boring meeting. I'll bring the one for Travis."
"Yes young madam." he uttered and continued what he was doing.
Jillyanna found it a bit funny because his way of calling her changed time to time but the word 'madam' remained. She just smiled at him and prepared the coffee for Travis.
She didn't want him to drink a black coffee since it's troublesome if he can't sleep at night. She looked for a powdered milk and make a milk foam out of it to substitute it for a creamer.
She asked Top to pour a half cup of coffee and placed it on a saucer. With the milk foam she had on one hand, she tried making her own latte for Travis. She's not a master of making latte and could only make the simplest heart design.
After making his latte, she prepared her own warm milk since she didn't want to drink fresh milk.

Top just waited for her to make sure that she won't have a hard time bringing her glass of milk and latte for Travis.
Top walked first so that he can open the door for her. Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw a tray of coffee cups.
"I was really about to sleep. Even though we are talking about money, I still feel sleepy." one of the shareholders stated. Some people nodded their heads in agreement and some just smiled.
Jillyanna walked to Travis and placed the latte in front of him. "No black coffee for you. It's troublesome if you can't sleep at night."
Travis looked at her and smiled cheekily. "Right. We need to wake up early tomorrow so I should sleep and not cause you any trouble."
Some paused midair from drinking their coffee and some stopped stirring it after putting the creamer. What he was trying to imply was as clear as day!
Her blush crept from her neck to her face. She was so embarrassed with what he said even though they were not really doing anything.
"Stop spouting nonsense!" she whispered, still flustered from everyone's attention. "I will really kick your ass if you spout nonsense again."
Travis just chuckled and raised his hand to surrender. Since there was no table for Jillyanna to place her glass if she sits on the couch, she pulled up another swivel chair and sat beside Travis instead.
"Are you almost done?" she inquired after seeing the marked agenda on a document opened on his laptop.
Travis drank his latter before answering. "Yup. Two more bullets and we're done."
She read the documents because something caught her interest. "What if you make a reality show?" she asked Travis after reading the last agenda. "I checked your programs before and there was no reality show ever made."

Travis noted that on his laptop. "Like what kind of reality show?" he asked her since it was a good idea and the might even get a huge profit if it was planned accordingly.
Instead of continuing their meeting they all turned their ears on her. For shareholders, the most important thing is for them to earn money.
Jillyanna paused for a while to think of a good program. "How about a program that involves missions for your artists? I mean, you have plenty of artists who are inactive due to some circumstances. You can involve them so that they can earn for their family, too. You can also try making a program where your artists do some babysitting for a week so that they would know how parents feel when they take care of their child."
These were just suggestions out of nowhere but Jillyanna would soon receive plenty of grateful messages for what she did today. On a whim, she didn't know how many people she helped out just because of these suggestions. Well, that's a story for later.
"That sounds plausible. Do you think our artists will agree to it?" one of the shareholders voiced out his worry.
He was right, they have to check on their artists to see who would be available. There were many things to consider so they kept it for now and would talk about it some other times.
Jillyanna didn't mind though. She knew how difficult it is to prepare for a new program and it takes a lot of time for planning.
"I'll think of a way to make it." Travis whispered to her.
"I prefer the first suggestion I made. It can help a lot." she whispered back.
Travis nodded his head and typed what she wants on his laptop. "You are amazing."
"Of course I am." she stated with a proud face, praising herself happily.
Diego couldn't help but make a dry cough to get their attention. Jillyanna looked at him with a raised brow. "What? Are you jealous?" If she wants, she can be bold and shameless, too.
Diego smirked and glanced at everyone. "Stop acting like we don't exist, okay? We are still in the office." he retorted back at her.
She didn't say anything back to him but she turned towards Travis instead. "Your friend is jealous and was still making excuses to involve everyone."
Travis patted her head gently with a faint laughter. "I agree. I agree."
Looking at them, everyone felt a little bad for Diego because he was the target of their bullying.

The Sun's Remnant
Two people are transported to a world with magic, but it is no Wonderland. When the god of light died, he decided to take the world with him. At least, that’s what many believe in the Kingdom of Rhine, a once vast kingdom of which only a small corner remains — and even that is threatened. On one side, by the Twisted Forest, a corruption spreading from the deathplace of the gods that has already swallowed up most of Rhine. On the other, by the resurgent Kagrathan Empire, resurrected by the infallible God-Emperor Karlatz. A holy order of knights carry out their mission despite the death of their god. A band of talented misfits prepare for a heist out of their league — by stealing. Mages hunt for secrets even as the world ends. A ruler does what must be done to save the living, no matter the cost. Into this world of magic and murder, two adrift souls are inexplicably dragged: a mother estranged from her young daughter due to her own mistakes, and a young man with a love of fantasy who has gradually drifted away from his friends and family. As they each struggle to find their place in this world, they must also answer the question: do they want one?***Content Warning: I've drafted about 100,000 words (most of the first volume), and there is no sexual content so far, though I may add it in the future. There is occasionally gore and traumatising content as the story demands. I commit to keeping all of the above non-voyeuristic. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
