“I’m sorry.”The man put the teacup down elegantly.That was it? The woman looked at him in bewilderment. That was her cup. She had never met anyone like that. Cups were personal items. Could such a highly personal item be used back and forth between strangers?She was slightly annoyed now. “Mr. Luther… Right? I can lend you my recliner, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for Mr. Luther to use personal items such as a cup without my permission. Say, do you usually have a habit of drinking out
“Hey! Boss!”Not far away, the woman squatting on the ground turned her head back after hearing his voice. She looked puzzled. “Anything else, Mr. Luther?”“Boss, my name is Michael Luther. You haven’t told me your name yet.”The woman was stunned… When was the last time someone had asked for her name?“Just Boss. Call me ‘boss’.” Name? Name, huh? She did not know what her name was either. She gave herself a self-deprecating laugh.Michael’s heart stirred. Then, his dim eyes lit up again. “
The contents of the USB flash drive were copied into the laptop next to him. Elior was just about to open the file when a hand was placed on the back of his hand. “Just a reminder, you better be mentally prepared.”Elior was stunned for a while. Ray’s expression was very serious. This was rare… Was it really so terrible?Feeling skeptical, Elior opened up the video file. It was fine at first. Suddenly, Elior widened his eyes and exclaimed, “What is this!” He pointed at the video that was cur
“Are you really… showing this to Sean?” Elior raised his head and looked at Ray as he stood against the light. He could not see Ray’s expression clearly, but he saw Ray nodding his head.He sprung up from his seat. “Okay. I’ll come with you.” No one knew what Sean would think after watching the video.The two of them headed for Stewart manor.…At Stewart manor.In the study.There were three men. Two were leaning against the corner of the desk with their arms crossed while the other reeke
The weather was great this morning when he woke up.After taking a shower and putting on a bathrobe, he sauntered out of the bathroom and was just about to pull the curtains open when he heard two knocks at the door.Michael dropped his hand that was holding onto the curtain and walked toward the door.With a soft click, the door was open.The two people in and outside of the door were stunned at the same time.Michael paused for a while. The next moment, a sly look in his eyes flashed and
“Why the effort?” Michael laughed delightfully. Even his eyes were shining. “I heard that Dali Ancient City is bustling with energy. You can find a lot of strange and interesting things there.“I was planning to go and take a look anyway. Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with this place. Since Boss has promised to gift me a tea set and recliner, why don’t you be the good person that you are up until the end and go shopping with me around Dali Ancient City?”The woman said without a single hesit
There was a dedicated bus in every small town to get from Erhai to Dali Ancient City.Unlike the big bus in the city, these were small buses with only a dozen seats.At this moment, the woman and Michael were in the pickup truck on their way to Dali Ancient City.There were large farmlands along the way. Here, towering buildings were nonexistent. Michael rolled the windows down. “Music?”“Up to you.” The woman narrowed her eyes in a languid manner. She leaned against the front passenger se
She picked up the cup and took a sip. “Your tea is still the best around here,” she said without answering the question, looking at the owner who had just walked over. “If you like it, I can give you a can when you go back.” The owner of the tea shop was a woman in her thirties. They had appreciated each other’s company for three years.Michael was seemingly picking out a tea set, but he was actually paying attention to Jane out of the corner of his eye the whole time.“Found anything you li
