“If you keep acting like this, I’m really going to get mad.” Oriana pulled out her ultimate trump
card.
Sure enough, it hit him straight in the weak spot.
Micah immediately went silent. He didn’t dare argue, not even a single word.
They stayed frozen that way for a moment before Oriana’s heart softened again.
“I’ll text you whenever I have a moment, okay? I’m just going on a two–week trip. It’s not dangerous over there, but I might be busy. In the meantime, you can focus on your work. When I get back, I’ll apply for a few days off, and we can go somewhere together. Anywhere you want.”
Her voice was soft, coaxing.
Micah’s resolve wavered. “You’ll be pretty busy once you’re back, won’t you?”
Seeing the tension in his expression ease, Oriana followed up gently. “No matter how busy I am, I’ll still make time for you first. I’ll miss you too.”
Those tender, quiet words shattered the last bit of resistance inside him.
His cold, rigid expression finally melted.
“Promise me. When you come back, we’ll go on a trip.”
“Okay, I promise. If you’re worried, I can talk to Mr. Harris now and give him a heads–up about the leave?”
Micah’s lips curved. “If you ask, he’ll make things difficult for you. I’ll handle it.”
Oriana blinked.
Once she confirmed that Micah had truly calmed down, she let out a discreet sigh of relief. Only after the whole ordeal did Oriana finally have a moment to check her phone.
In the group chat, Zara and Lily had already exchanged more than three hundred messages. Oriana popped in and was stunned. “What on earth did you two talk about? That’s a lot.”

Zara replied, “Oriana, finally! You’re here!”
Lily chimed in, “You’re off work? We’ve been waiting for you!”
Oriana typed back, “Waiting for me?”

“You haven’t scrolled up, have you? I’ll just tell you. This afternoon’s top headline blew up. Luna got photographed at a prenatal checkup!”
Zara was always enthusiastic about gossip, and she summarized it quickly.
Oriana’s brows lifted for a moment. After a second thought, a chill crept up her neck.
Micah had really called it. Grant’s situation was nearly identical to Micah’s.
Their visibility was so high now that even their family members were under a microscope.
Lily added, “Oriana, did you read it? Or did you get busy again?”
“I’m reading,” Oriana replied.
“We’re betting on when Luna and Grant will get their marriage license. That’s definitely going to be the next big headline!” Lily was excited.
Oriana replied, “Well, then, congrats to them.”
“Once they get their license, they’ll be stuck together forever. Cheers to the lovely bitch and the jerk!”
Zara huffed. “Too bad. Every time they get a bit of buzz, preorders for Grant’s robot surge. I heard he picked up almost a million more orders this afternoon. Filthy rich!”
She sent that as a voice message–her voice practically grinding with resentment by the end.
Oriana chuckled and was about to tell Zara to calm down a little when Micah suddenly spoke. “Unless something unexpected happens, they’ll probably register their marriage in the next few days.”
Surprised, Oriana turned to him. “You saw the news too?”
Micah crossed one leg over the other, looking entirely at ease. “The Center departments are following it as well. A buyer from Dudbein approached us, hoping to purchase robots. We turned him down. So naturally, he’ll shift his interest to Grant.”
Oriana frowned slightly. “What does buying robots have to do with getting a marriage license?”

Kieran, who was driving, couldn’t hold back a laugh. Eyes fixed on the road, he answered while stifling his amusement, “Because Mr. Caldwell set a trap for them.”
When Oriana looked at him, Kieran elaborated, “Mrs. Caldwell, do you remember? At the Summit, Luna brought Grant over to greet Mr. Stone. She even used that moment to push rumors about how close they supposedly were to him.”
“Yes, I remember.”
“The visitors from Dudbein hold Mr. Stone and several of our national elders in extremely high regard.
“So when they approached Grant, odds are they were hoping to build ties with Mr. Stone. And now that Luna’s pregnancy is public, they’ll care even more about whether Grant’s connection to Mr. Stone is solid. To prove that, Grant pretty much has no choice but to get the marriage license.”
