Sanya.Banyan Tree Hotel.“Relax.” Leaning flirtatiously toward the woman’s ear, the man in the light tuxedo spoke softly. The woman stepped back slightly. Even though it was an involuntary action, it still did not escape the eyes of the man. In a flash, he had already taken two steps backward in a gentlemanly fashion. He laughed lightly. “Jane, you’re too nervous.” Her palms curled up as she felt a stickiness in the heart of her palms. ‘Of course, I’ll be nervous… The person that I am a
Thus, it would make sense that he would not attend a party like this. However, what was surprising was that the person was just Michel’s head secretary. The mere appearance of a head secretary could attract the attention of the elite in the business world. The woman lowered her head. It was a while before she raised her head again. “Callen, thank you.” The latter replied calmly, “Don’t rush to thank me. I’m just a referrer. Whether or not you manage to get a chance from Michel, it’s up to
This meeting went on for almost an hour. As always, Callen Feroch stayed at the corner of the bar, quietly drinking wine while talking to the head secretary. When Jane walked out of the sliding glass doors, he put down his glass elegantly and stood up. “Let’s go. You’ve been rushing to catch your plane the whole time, and have had no time to rest. You must be tired. Shall I escort you back to your room?”“Callen, wait. Won’t you have a drink with me?” Michel smiled and looked from the g
“Collaborators who only report the good news and not the bad news can be seen everywhere. Her frankness, self-confidence within that frankness, and comprehensive analysis... Everything is very convincing from all angles. With this type of collaborator, it’s very easy to settle down and listen to things from her point of view. “As expected, Callen, you deserve to be called hunter.” For some reason, although the nickname ‘hunter’ used to make Callen feel proud in the past, it only felt and sou
It was just the speed at which she switched really made Jane’s head turn. “Oh right!“Nearly forgot about the important matter. “Jane, that idi… Mr. Stewart, he’s doing quite well. You can work on the project in Sanya at ease. Don’t worry, he’s not naughty, and he’s also eating. He’s even cooking his own food.” “Mhmm.” Was that so? However, even if she was not there, it did not matter to him. It was still the same? Regardless of whether it was lucid him or insane him, Jane Dunn was ju
It was also at this moment that she had no more reasons to stay here. “Thank you, Callen.” He had really, really helped her a lot. If it had not been for Michel, she would have had to take the long-winded road. If it had not been for Callen, she would not have had a chance to meet Michel. She bent over to give him a 90-degree bow. Of course, this was definitely not enough, but it was able to express her gratitude. A large, strong hand gripped her shoulder. Confused, she lifted her head
When Callen heard the term ‘hunter’ again, he discovered that he disliked this term even more now.The expression in the eyes of the woman in front of him was super clear, and she was so rational. At this moment, he was experiencing a feeling of distress.The money he used previously and the opportunity he had given her now, she said that there was no difference between the two.He really wanted to say, ‘Yes, there’s a difference.’However, the next moment, he could not debate… Was there rea
Her brain gave herself an order.Stop her action.She was a qualified implementer, so she wanted to struggle away from the broad and thick arms around her body… It was definitely warm. The warmth emitted from Callen’s chest was something that she had once longed for in an unknown amount of time. There was no fixed person for the warmth that she longed for, anybody would work.However, now, she had become not used to being close to others.Especially when it was this person.“I admit that I
"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
