“But…”“This is the meeting room. It’s a place of business.” She looked at Vivienne, and there was a determination in her eyes. “Vivienne, you should know how important this is to me.”Not just her, it was for Dunn Group as well.Since Joseph had taken away most of the fluid funds, if they did not inject new blood into Dunn Group, the company would not be able to hold on for long. By then, there would be a lot of people who would want to take their life when they were down. The business world
Callen Feroch looked at the outstretched hand. She looked thinner than she was before.Without a word, he stretched out his hand to hold the frail palm. There was a sense of mismatch when the calloused palm grabbed the weak-looking palm.His heart ached with discomfort... ‘She has grown thin.‘Maybe if I had given her the 500,000 bucks that time, she wouldn’t be like this today.’Her fingertips brushed his hand a little…"Mr. Callen, please have some self-respect."Callen froze... ‘Self-respect? Did she just ask me to have some self-respect?’With a little unwillingness, he put down his hand that held her palm.His gaze fell on the scar on her forehead. It reminded him of the time when he felt a tiny itch on his lips when he gently kissed her scar. He abruptly turned his head to prevent himself from touching it again."This scar...""Mr. Callen, I think I may have miscalculated our collaboration this time.” As she patted down her clothes, she said, "So, I'll leave."If she
Jane once again walked out of the meeting room. Callen sent her off this time. They seemed to be having a good conversation.Vivienne first saw Jane's figure and was about to ask, "Have you reached an agreement?"A tall figure then appeared in front of everyone."This is..."Jane stepped aside. "Let me introduce you. This is Callen Feroch, the representative of the second party’s company."Naturally, Vivienne, who was in charge of the project, stepped forward and held out her hand. "Hello, Mr. Feroch, I'm the...""Vivienne, I'll follow up on this project."Jane calmly interrupted Vivienne.Vivienne's eyes showed puzzlement."We'll talk once we're back," Jane whispered in Vivienne's ear.Callen Feroch personally escorted them downstairs to the main entrance.There was a trace of surprise in the eyes of the female secretary beside him. She looked at Jane one more time... The mysterious CEO was not often seen in S City. It was rumored that he owned many industrial chains, and t
"You did this?" Jane suppressed her anger. Her eyes ran through the mess on the ground. She was obviously asking whether the man opposite her caused the mess."I'm sorry."The man apologized in a cautious whisper, his eyes full of guilt.However, Jane almost laughed in anger. Looking at the man behind the sink, he used to be too proud to admit mistakes so easily, but now, he was quick to do so.However, in Jane's eyes, there was another kind of anger coming from the depths of her heart. Not just anger, but a wave of vague anger that came from the heart.She did not realize, of course, that her anger at this moment was not directed only at the man who had made such a mess in her house.She gave the man a cold look and sulkily took her phone out of her backpack without a word."It's me, Elior. What time will you arrive?" she asked the person on the other end of the line. A black figure came hurtling toward her from the side. The phone in her hand fell with a snap to the ground. Th
The room was very quiet with just the two people sitting on the sofa. Jane contacted the housekeeper.The housekeeper had yet to arrive. She and the man sat on the sofa while waiting. The man sat silently, looking straight at her with his eyes… He had been staring at her for the better part of an hour.However, no.No meant no.She could not relent.It would be fine as long as she did not see his pleading eyes. No matter how he was behaving now, his coldness and cruelty from those past decades had already been etched in her mind.Looking at the same face, Jane did not think she could be amnesiac and forget about the past.She had made up her mind to send him away. She just had to wait for Elior to take him away.She would not have that inexpressible feeling in her heart.As time went by bit by bit, she raised her wrist for the third time and glanced at her watch. Beside her, the pair of burning eyes almost scorched her to bits.She only turned her head away, allowing the ma
While they were taking the elevator down, Jane looked at the man behind her. For a moment, she thought that something must be wrong with her head.Just like that, he had badgered her into agreeing to take him out.The clothes he was wearing were from yesterday. As he dried his clothes and shoes and put them on, she was a little worried about being recognized. "Lower your head."When the man saw her turn, he obediently stuck his head in front of her, revealing the back of his head. Still, she had to tiptoe a little to pull the hood of his jacket on. "When we get to the supermarket later, no running around and don't pull your hood off.""All right." Jane felt a little relieved when the man nodded heavily.He followed Jane and opened the passenger door of the car before getting in.He also followed what Jane did when he saw her fastening her seatbelt.Jane put on a straight face all the way, angry with herself for loosening her tongue. Why did she agree to him?She wanted to be an
When they were back from the supermarket, Jane was poker-faced all the way.Her car stopped in the underground parking lot. The man willingly carried the daily necessities when they got off the car.It was originally supposed to be a simple trip to buy some necessities, but after taking him there, she got...Jane looked at the heap of items with a poker face.She really felt that nodding her head and agreeing to take him to the supermarket was the biggest mistake she could make.The man, wi
“I don't like the pink bunny slippers you picked out for me.“I don't like kitty toothbrushes, not to mention the water glass.“I was lying to you about the pink bunny slippers!"She said at the end, louder and louder, and at last, she was almost shouting at him.Anger and discomfort.This anger and discomfort had come so suddenly and so unreasonably as well!Jane's cheeks were red as she stared at him angrily. The man was so stunned by her roar that he fell on one knee and looked at her w
