I stopped smiling the moment I found out the only person I had in mind wasn’t the one at the doorstep.

Michael was the only person I wanted to meet. Nonetheless, I looked at Jackson in the eyes and asked, “What brings you here today?”

Only a limited few were aware we had been residing at that particular place. Therefore, I was shocked when Michael’s secretary showed up out of nowhere.

As we weren’t really acquainted with one another, Jackson answered my query with a courteous smile, “Mr. Garcia, Mr. Shaw has sent me here.”

I thought he has forgotten all about me, but that was never the case! He has sent his secretary over to check on me!

As thrilled as I might be, I kept my emotions to myself and asked in a calm and collected tone, “Why has he sent you?”

Since not many were made aware of our relationship, I thought it would be better to keep our relationship confidential from everyone, including Jackson.

When he heard my query, he handed me a check, “Mr. Shaw wants you to have this.”

Two million only.

I gaped at the amount involved and lost myself in the process of thought at the presence of the check.

Why has he asked his secretary to bring me a check? What exactly is he up to?

Seconds after I returned to my senses, I took a peek at the check and stuttered my question at Jackson, “W-What is he up to? W-Why has he sent you over to hand me a check?”
