Sean’s anger was overwhelming. He opened the car door with one hand and dragged her out of the car. “Do you really wanna kneel? Are your knees really that weak? Do you like kneeling so much?” Veins were throbbing on Sean’s perfect face, and he dragged Jane all the way to the entrance of East Emperor International Entertainment Center, tossing her onto the ground. “Since you like kneeling so much, show us, Jane Dunn! Put on a show for us, right here!”He really did not know why he was so angry!
Jane stood in front of Sean uneasily. Soon, someone knocked on the door, and Sean said in his deep magnetic voice, “Come on in.”Jane looked at the person who entered with some panic— It was Alora Smith, the one who had interviewed her three months ago.“Hi, Alora.” Jane’s heart was in her throat. She carefully glanced at Sean, who was sitting on a single-seater couch, and then she turned to look at Alora, who had suddenly appeared here. Her heart was pounding; she had no idea what this unreadable man was planning now.“Greetings, Mr. Stewart.” Alora was wearing a perfectly-tailored white suit, and it did not diminish her charms at all. She knew exactly how to behave in front of Sean, saying, “How may I help you, sir?”Jane found Alora’s attitude toward Sean a little strange, as though Sean was her patron or boss… What Jane did not know was that Sean really was Alora’s big boss. Jane had spent three years in prison, after all, and everything had changed in those three years.“Do y
The more Jane thought about it, the harder she shook her head. “No, Mr. Stewart, I don’t want to go to the P.R. department.” She pleaded in a panic, “I know I was wrong, please spare me, Mr. Stewart. I already did three years in jail and paid the price for what I did. Give me my bank card, sir, and I’ll disappear right away. I’ll go far, far away, and I swear that you’ll never see me again.”All Jane could do was plead. She did not notice the surprise in Alora’s eyes when the latter heard about
Jane turned around to look at Alora, giving her a tragic smile. It was only then that Alora saw the bloody teeth marks on Jane’s pale lips. “A-Are you alright?” Alora asked.“I’m fine.” Jane stood up, her body swaying. Alora could not bear to see her that way, so she was about to help Jane when Jane steadied her footing, giving Alora a pale but grateful smile. “Thank you, Alora.”“Are... you sure you’re fine?” Alora could see that Jane could barely stand straight, so it was really hard for her
It had been three days. Three days after Jane was transferred to the P.R. department, she had yet to earn a single cent. She glanced at the time and saw that it was 23:07. That was precisely the time when business started booming here.The entire P.R. department was empty, and she was the only one left in the waiting room. All of her colleagues in the department had left to do their jobs. To be honest, every member of the P.R. department here at East Emperor earned quite a lot. The clientele co
The boy was just over twenty, his hair dyed ash brown. He just radiated youthful arrogance.Right now, he was sprawled over the couch, but when he saw Jane enter the room, he suddenly leaned forward, the necklace swaying in the air with him. The boy pointed at himself and gave Jane a smile, saying, “C’mon, clownie, smile one for me. Over here, yeah! If it’s a nice smile, I’ll make it worth it for you.” He threw a thick wad of cash at Jane’s feet, not holding back in the slightest.That only ad
“I…” Jane opened her mouth to decline instinctively. In that darkness, Sean’s lips curved… He knew it, he knew that the proud Miss Dunn would not be able to give up her dignity and take this insult lying down.“I get to keep all this money if I pick it up within a minute, you say? And you’ll give me another fifty thousand too, right?”Jane could not continue what she wanted to say after that initial “I”. The scene before her eyes returned to that dark prison and to that silly girl, the only one who showed her any kindness. That dream she saw as she lay dying… All the thoughts ran through Jane’s head, and she forcefully changed her mind. Her pride? Did she have anything like that?Right now, Jane Dunn had nothing. No family, no relatives, no friends, no past… All she had left was herself.What use did she have… for her petty pride?!The cocky boy chuckled. “Of course. I keep my promises.” There was a hint of jest in his eyes as he looked down at the comical woman on the floor.“Ok
Outside the room, Alora turned around the corner. The moment she raised her head, her gaze turned sharp, and she quietly walked until she was right outside the room. “What are you doing, Luna?”The cold voice appearing suddenly behind her made Luna, who was standing outside the room, jump and turned around. When she saw who it was behind her, her pretty face immediately turned unnatural. “N-Nothing, I’m not looking at anything…”Luna was the hostess in charge of Room 606. However, the young ma
"Your grandfather loved your grandmother like a man possessed."By the time I finished hearing out my grandparents' story, I fell silent. I no longer blamed my grandfather for not knowing his heart, and I no longer blamed Grandma for being uncertain. It was just as Grandma Alora said. It was only because one of the two of them stopped obsessing and took a step back that they ended up living happily ever after. I could not help but wonder. What if Grandma simply refused to turn back at the e
Even then, I found it unbelievable. I ran to my dad's room and immediately asked, "Is Grandpa a pervert? I saw him hugging Grandma's foot just now. Does he have a foot fetish?""Your grandfather is warming your grandmother's feet. Your grandmother's body isn't in its best shape, and her hands and feet are always ice-cold. Your grandfather can't bear to see her like that. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and never mention it to him.""But why?""Because your grandfather will make you writ
My name was Luka Stewart. It was a weird name, right? Like ‘look! A stew.’My grandfather gave me my name. All my many years of experience as a kid told me that my grandfather was not a good guy.All else aside, just look at the name he gave me. He had a perfectly nice name himself, but he had to give me such a weird one.However, every time I protested about it to him, he always said that it was my dad's fault. If Dad had been a girl, that would have been his name instead. See, Grandpa was
On the twentieth day after the surgeryHe saw the person he had his heart set on.“Elior said you were at your wedding on the day I woke up.” He fell quiet again after his initial excitement. It felt as though there was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to pull the thorn out, but it hurt just to touch it.“Is Michael Luther… good to you?”“Yeah, pretty much.”There was pain in his eyes and he hurriedly lowered them, putting on a gracious act.“Congratulations. From now on, you’ll finally be
“Not too long ago, I woke up one morning and realized that I was trapped behind bars again. He had installed metal grilles over all the windows in the room.“In my eyes, those bars were no different from the ones in prison six years ago.“He tried everything to imprison me. He only finally let go when he’s sick and dying.“He said something about getting tired of this game and getting bored of me. I believed him.“He’s dying, so he lets go.“Is that supposed to show how generous and loving
“See? Master White agrees. Move aside and don’t stop me, the boss is in a lot of danger right now!” Dos’ expression was vicious. “I need to stop…”Halfway through his sentence, the three people outside heard some mortifying noises coming from inside the room.They were all experienced in the ways of life, so no matter how slow they might be, they still understood what those noises meant.Dos’ face instantly turned completely red.“Go on, kick the door down. Your boss is in danger,” Alora tea
After the second apple, there was the third... By the time he reached the fifth, he looked at the apple in his hand with a troubled expression. No matter how much he liked fruit, he still could not eat so many at once. Besides, he never liked apples to begin with.“Eat some more, or you won’t have the strength,” she said calmly. He was completely stumped. The strength? The strength for what?The wheels in his brain were still turning as he tried to process her words when the woman by his bed
At the hospital, the ward door opened without a sound. This time, Dos did not report the arrival in advance.When Elior arrived in a hurry, he immediately saw that woman.Before he said anything, Alora pulled him back out into the corridor. The door opened and closed again.The man on the bed lay on his side, fast asleep.No one knew what he was dreaming about, but the deep frown on his face showed that he did not have pleasant dreams.His hand rested on the covers, his wedding ring still a
"Don't worry, this time Sean Stewart won't disturb you again. He never will anymore. "Go and do what you do best, Jane Dunn. Run away!"With those words, Alora turned and left.She did not know what she was mad about. Perhaps she was not mad at all, just a little sorry about the whole state of affairs.It was almost as though she was the one who was not getting her happy ending. In her eyes, one of them had done wrong in the past and was now filled with regret, determined to turn over a n
