"I wish it’s only a month, but it will probably take two to three months or even more..."
"Three months?!" Kate’s heart jumped. "What do you mean three months? Michael told me only a month?!"
"I... I need to prepare everything here. I need to focus on all the legal documents in New York. I get help from my cousin, so everything should be smooth sailing until I can get what I want."
"What are you doing in New York, exactly?"
"I’m going to start my own media company, Kate. It will be a publishing house and also an advertising agency. They require a lot of legal proceedings, but if everything goes well, I... I can bring you to New York to start anew."
"Start anew..." Kate processed Henry’s words briefly and asked, "Do you want me to resign from Emperor Publishing and move to New York for that new company you want to build?"
"Yes," Henry replied firmly. "This is exactly how I want to protect you. I can’t keep you safe while we’re under my father’s company. I need to be independent from him first."
"Henry, this is a big and risky step, you know that, right?"
"I—I know that you love that publishing company so much. But this is the ticket to our freedom," Henry said. "Please, give me a chance, Kate. I promise that I will give you the good life you deserve."
