“What on earth do you want?!” Jane’s hands were clenched into fists. What else did this man want from her? “Mr. Stewart, look! Look at me carefully! What else do I have that a prince like you would need to waste your time on?!“Tell me! Just tell me, and I’ll give it to you! All of it!” Why did he have to barge into her life again? What was he after? “Mr. Stewart! I’m no longer the Jane Dunn you once knew! Please know that!“I can’t tell, I really don’t know why someone as rich and respected a
She slowly raised her head, just as quietly lowered it again, and then raised it once more. She repeated that cycle three times before she finally made up her mind, gritting her teeth and stretching out her arms. Without even blinking, she threw her arms around the man’s neck. The entire time, her body shook.“Don’t you want me, Mr. Stewart?” As soon as she said that, her entire neck turned bright red, and an unspeakable sense of shame filled her chest. She had learned that line by watching ano
“From now on, you’ll stay here.” Sean led Jane back to the 28th floor of East Emperor, adding, “I’ve already submitted your resignation letter for this place. Once you join Stewart Industries, you’ll just have to stick with me.”“I was doing fine with my job!” She glared at him. What right did he have to make that decision for her?“Oh, really? Do you really think a job selling your services to men is ‘fine’ by you? Jane, even if you wanted to keep working there, I don’t want you to.”Jane wa
She involuntarily obeyed. The entire time, the palm on her back never once left.Just like that, the man and woman walked through the lobby as everyone watched, stuck in such a suggestive pose as they headed into the CEO’s private elevator.The moment the elevator doors closed, Jane saw so many pairs of disbelieving eyes looking her way. She was startled again and almost instinctively lowered her head… I-If any of them recognized her…Ding-dong.The elevator stopped. When the doors opened, J
“Did you just say that Miss Dunn called my name in her sleep?” If he understood that correctly, ‘Luca’ was supposed to refer to him, right? Zach had quite the peculiar expression on his face right now… Cough cough, could it be that he was truly that charming? Aside from the time Haydn brought Jane to their meet-up, he had really only met Jane that one time.“Stewart, did she really say ‘Luca’?” Zach continued to act dumb, out of curiosity more than anything else.Before he could finish that th
Jane's face paled. The way the secretary examined her in deep disbelief made her ashamed of herself. Such looks seemed to remind her over and over again about the harrowing torture she endured over the past three years. She wanted to live with dignity and self-love too, you know. She wanted to have her pride and self-respect in her life too…"Secretary Davis.” Jane wore a white and awkward smile. “It’s been a while.”Even that greeting sounded pale and empty.Secretary Davis could not belie
While Jane was still stupefied, Sean reached out his hand and rubbed her head. “Alright, I’ll go call for delivery.”Jane was still somewhat dazed when the food arrived… and she gave Sean, who was standing at the window, another careful glance— This was her first time seeing Sean Stewart compromise on anything.As they ate, Sean forced Jane to eat another half a bowl of rice.“Why aren’t you drinking the soup? Is it bad?”He had not seen her drink even a sip of the soup the entire time.Wit
Her family… They had not given in like cowards! They were after the grand prize that fell from her hands!“Jane Dunn, don’t you want to see what your Storge Trust has been reduced to today?” This woman had single-handedly built up that fund, and it was worth almost half of the Dunn family fortune!Back when Old Master Dunn was still alive, he was especially fond of his granddaughter. He even favored Jane over his grandson, Jason…No one knew why the old man was so fond of his granddaughter, J
