Underground car park.
Troy opened the back door of the car, and Russell sat in the back seat.
Nathalie wanted to follow and sit inside, but she saw Russell taking off his suit jacket and placing it on the seat next to him.
Nathalie knew what the man meant; he didn't want her to sit inside.
She could only close the back door of the car and sit in the passenger seat.
Throughout the journey, Nathalie kept trying to chat with Russell, but he only responded briefly. In the end, he took out his laptop and started typing directly.
Nathalie felt a great sense of frustration, especially when she learned that Russell had ended up in a wheelchair because he was trying to save Zoey. This made her hate Zoey even more.
The high and mighty Russell, surprisingly, became so infatuated with a woman that he disregarded his own safety in order to save her.
Zoey was unworthy, she didn't deserve it!
She tightly held her handbag, she was deter
When Russell returned to the apartment, he only smelled a sweet and sour scent in the air, and did not see Zoey's figure.He put down the gift box in his hand, took off his suit jacket and hung it at the entrance, and walked into the bedroom, but Zoey was not there.He guessed that Zoey was probably sketching in the study.Gently pushing open the study door, I saw Zoey already asleep, lying on the desk.Walking up to the table, he looked at the girl's delicate and peaceful sleeping face, and his heart softened.He bent down to give Zoey a light kiss on her cheek, but when he was just inches away, the girl grabbed hold of his shirt collar.Zoey opened her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like raven feathers. "Does Mr. Maddox want to steal a kiss?"Russell leaned on the table with one hand, while the other rested on the back of the chair. His dark eyes, like the vast deep sea, were profound and mysterious."I really wanted to,
The coffee shop downstairs from the Maddox Group.Zoey and Nathalie sat face to face.Nathalie ordered a cup of black coffee and slowly sipped it. Then, she placed it on the table and looked at Zoey, saying, "I was very dissatisfied."Zoey raised an eyebrow slightly, "So, I came here just to listen to you complain?"Nathalie stared at Zoey with a resentful look in her eyes, slamming her hands on the table, causing the coffee in her cup to spill over. "What is it that I lack compared to you? I am not inferior to you in terms of looks, physique, or talent. Why did Shen choose you? He ended up paralyzed because he saved you! Do you know how much he suffered? Have you been there for him during his most painful moments? Did you witness the difficulties he faced when creating the Storm Organization? Did you accompany him through the process of slowly standing up and walking again? Have you ever created artificial intelligence with him? No! None of it! It was me
Upon hearing Russell's question, Carolyn nodded and said, "Yeah, I think Lola is really great. It was her who helped me find Carsen to fix my robot dog that night."Russell fell silent for a moment and then asked, "How did you happen to meet her?"Carolyn said, "My robot dog malfunctioned and ran off without following the route I planned. I found it in the backyard based on the location on the remote control."Russell, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced back and said, "So you met Lola in the backyard?""Yeah," Carolyn blinked her eyes, "I found the robot dog and was walking back when I met Lola at the corner."Russell furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did she appear there?""I didn't ask. She asked me how I ended up there, so I told her about looking for the robot dog," Carolyn felt he was very serious, like interrogating a criminal. "What's wrong, Russell? Do you have any questions?"Russell lowered his gaze and said, "It's noth
After a week of working day and night, thirty-five sets of dresses were completed.When the crew members saw these beautiful dresses, their eyes couldn't help but light up.Whether it was the design, craftsmanship, or materials, everything was of top-notch quality, even the buttons were exceptionally exquisite.A good movie is not only about the actors and the plot, but also about the costumes and props.Madeleine had many dresses because she was the female lead. She couldn't help but admire each exquisite dress."Zoey, your design is truly exceptional, surpassing even the Star from Galaxy Studio. However, I also appreciate the design of Star. To be honest, your design styles are quite similar."Just as Zoey was about to reveal that she was Star, she saw Hailey, who had been kicked out of the design studio by her earlier, walking towards her.Hailey greeted Madeleine first and then smiled, pursing her lips, saying, "Ms. Harmon."
The man in the back seat of the car closed his laptop on his lap, and he looked at Zoey. His thin lips moved slightly as he spoke that sentence.Zoey looked at him with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his straight nose, giving him a restrained yet sexy look.She leaned in, extending her index and middle fingers to dance on his arm, tracing along his arm all the way up to his shoulder, neck, and finally his handsome chin, before pinching it.She raised an eyebrow and said, "Excuse me, sir, who do you think you are to speak such frivolous words to me?"Russell chuckled lightly and reached out to wrap his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. "I was your man."When Troy opened the driver's cabin door, he happened to hear this sentence.He sat down and immediately raised the partition.Zoey glanced and chuckled softly, "Troy was sorry."Russell lightly brushed his nose against hers and said, "Don't wo
The next morning.When Zoey woke up, she saw Russell gazing at her affectionately."Awake?"Zoey, afraid that he would come again, instinctively moved back a little.Unexpectedly, the man embraced her, and the scorching heat instantly spread throughout her body, making her face blush and her heart race uncontrollably."I had to go to the film crew later, I couldn't be late.""Hmm," Russell caressed her smooth back, inch by inch, eroding her rational nerves.He was extremely gentle, "Zoey, did you feel comfortable last night?"Zoey bit her lower lip, listening to the man's enticing voice."Don't speak.""Hmm." Russell parted her lips with his fingertips and lightly brushed his fingertips against them. "I won't say, just do."He turned over and pressed the person down, "Zoey, you promised to compensate me."Zoey had just wanted to ask him when she had agreed, but before she could speak, the man's kiss
When Zoey found out that Toby had become the scapegoat again, she laughed heartily while eating the Spicy Prawn that Russell had peeled for her, saying, "Forgive me for being so heartless."Russell meticulously peeled the shrimp for her, which looked very pleasing."Brothers are meant to have each other's back."Zoey said, "I could already imagine Toby saying, 'Brothers are meant to stab me twice.' Hahaha..."Russell saw her laughing so happily and fed her a peeled Spicy Prawn, saying, "Then I will trick him a few more times in the future."Zoey hesitated for a moment, "I wonder if Leanna will be questioned by her family?"She was too busy laughing and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her hands, then picked up the phone and called Leanna.Leanna proudly boasted to Zoey about how she had tricked Toby, when suddenly Toby's deep voice could be heard."Sorry, I need to have a chat with Leanna."Zoey looked at the disconnecte
It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Zoey and Russell were unexpectedly greeted by an unexpected guest.Leanna stood at the entrance, wearing a set of Pikachu pajamas, her hands fiddling with the drawstring.She blinked at Zoey and then asked Russell, "Um, can you lend me Zoey tonight?"Russell's face immediately darkened like ink upon hearing the words. He looked at Toby, who had just walked in through the door, and asked, "How did you guys come here?"Toby raised his hand and pressed his forehead, "Leanna and I got married, so we moved out to live together. She suggested moving here, but I never thought you guys also lived here, let alone on the same floor."Leanna took a step forward and held Zoey's arm, "I don't care, tonight I want to sleep with Zoey."Zoey patted her hand and said, "Okay, I will go downstairs with you."And so, Toby stayed at Zoey's house, staring at Russell with big eyes.The two of them sat on th
Since the opening, Joselyn had not seen Brodie for a week.She was very busy this week because the opening day brought her a lot of fans of Kristian, Madeleine, and Zoey, which in turn brought a wave of consumers, so her art studio received many customers every day.These customers naturally had some comic fans, and they were very interested in Joselyn and Dwayne's drawings. However, the number of their daily artworks was limited, so the customers started making appointments.Joselyn and Dwayne used to paint in the studio until midnight, and then Dwayne would take Joselyn back home.The news of their relationship spread, and it became more and more exaggerated. It was even rumored that they had reached the point of meeting each other's parents and getting married.Of course, this was what Deborah said.She sat in the studio, looking at Joselyn's studio not far away, her heart filled with jealousy.In just one week, they earned nearly
How was she supposed to say this?He held her tightly and repeatedly said sorry to her.The whole thing was already quite ambiguous, and now their interaction has become quite delicate. If they were to speak about it, both of them would feel awkward.Joselyn was also curious, why didn't Brodie dare to apologize to her face?Could it be that a man's ego was at play?Doesn't letting go of her mean that he actually liked me a little bit in his heart?She thought all night but couldn't come up with a reason, but she did gain something, a pair of dark circles under her eyes.Joselyn lowered her gaze guiltily and said, "I have nothing, there is no need for me to deceive you."Brodie breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.Joselyn felt a bit awkward, it was just an apology, why couldn't he say it in person!Brodie nodded, "That's good."Afterwards, the two of them remained silent.W
Joselyn was suddenly pulled into someone's arms and found herself lying on the strong chest of a man.She looked at Brodie in astonishment, "Professor Keller, you have had too much to drink."Brodie looked at her, his eyes dark and deep behind the lenses. He raised his hand and gently caressed the girl's delicate face, "I'm sorry, I really am sorry."Joselyn was very puzzled, "What sorry, what are you talking about?"Brodie didn't say anything more, but simply pressed her head against his chest.Joselyn listened to the man's low sobbing, and the constant rise and fall of his chest, knowing that he was crying.Didn't he just distance himself from her?Is it not to the extent of feeling guilty?Joselyn wanted to get up, but she found herself tightly bound by the man and unable to move at all."Professor Keller, what happened to you in the end?"Brodie just kept saying sorry.After a while, the man stopped nag
Kinley and Laurel were discharged together three days later, and they went straight back to the Rosario's manor.Kinley called Joselyn and asked her to come to the Rosario's manor for dinner in the evening. He said that the butler would come to pick her up.Joselyn glanced at her wristwatch and realized that there was still one hour left until the agreed time.She contacted the butler and asked him to wait outside the flower shop in the community.She saved the sketch, took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes, and left the study to freshen up. After applying a light makeup, she changed into a casual wool knit suit and paired it with a matching tan long coat and snow boots. She grabbed her bag and went out.She went to the flower shop outside the community, picked two big bunches of carnations, and drove to the Rosario's manor.The butler said, "Tonight, the Rosario's manor had an important guest."Joselyn, who was smelling the fragrance
At that time, Deborah received photos sent by a private detective.There were people kissing on the ground, others buying couple-themed milk tea, and some happily dining at a fondue restaurant. Each photo stimulated her nerves and ignited anger in her heart.She didn't understand why Brodie would be interested in Joselyn, a stupid person, and she didn't understand what was wrong with herself.She thought about the comic convention that would take place in ten days. Her eyes flickered as she came up with a brilliant idea.She dialed a phone number and said, "Noah Wilkerson, are you going to attend the comic convention in a few days? How about I give you a gift?"***Joselyn didn't know what was wrong with Brodie, as he had been maintaining a distant and indifferent attitude towards her since that night.She invited him to have a meal, but he didn't go.She invited him to the art studio, but he said he didn't have time.Sh
At that moment, Joselyn could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.She thought, could it be that Brodie wanted to kiss her?Was she going to accept or refuse?Oh my God!How could she have such a thought?If it were Dwayne instead, she would definitely have refused immediately.What to do?Oh my God!What was she thinking, after all?Brodie extended his fingertips and wiped them on the corner of her lips, "Got a little bit of hot oil on them."Joselyn's face turned red all of a sudden. It turned out that she had thought Brodie wanted to kiss her.She sighed, feeling a hint of disappointment in her heart."Thank you. Shall we continue?"Brodie nodded lightly, "Okay."After Joselyn finished her explanation, Brodie started to pick up his pen and tried to draw.She discovered that the painting Brodie had done was probably the likeness of a woman, and she couldn't help but become
Joselyn didn't understand Brodie's meaning. "What did you say? What would Dwayne misunderstand?"Brodie said, "You guys are not dating, right? Knowing that we had a close encounter just now, he might mind or even misunderstand you."Joselyn blinked in surprise and said, "Dwayne and I, boyfriend and girlfriend?"Brodie was also stunned, "Isn't it?""Of course not!" Joselyn laughed out loud. "Him and me, how could it be possible? Even if the world were to collapse, no, I should say even if there was only one man left in the world, we would never choose each other."Brodie didn't know why, but hearing her say that gave him a sense of relief.He probably felt a sense of guilt, maybe because he thought he had crossed a boundary with someone else's girlfriend.However, just now could also be considered taking advantage of Joselyn."I feel sorry, regardless of whether you had a boyfriend or not."Joselyn pursed her lips apologe
Brodie didn't order anything, and Deborah seemed a bit awkward."Why didn't you eat?""Not hungry."Deborah said, "So, how about you order a cup of coffee too? Just watching me eat like this makes me a little uncomfortable."At this point, Brodie had to call the waiter and ordered a cup of latte.Deborah asked, "Professor Keller, why didn't you have any plans to get married? I'm just curious, like you have already achieved success in your career, why are you still single?""Because I didn't meet anyone who made my heart beat faster." Brodie was determined to be straightforward and make the other person give up.Deborah paused, her hand gripping the knife and fork tightly, "What kind of girl would make you fall in love?"Brodie recalled Margaret, "big eyes, with two dimples when she smiled."Deborah was not familiar with Margaret, so she automatically thought of Joselyn.It was this jerk who ruined her chance at lo
Brodie suddenly realized that he had gotten a little too close to Joselyn these past few days, only to find out that she already had a boyfriend.He got too close, which was very inappropriate.It seems that he will have a sense of propriety in the future.He felt a bit uncomfortable for some reason, but he didn't know why.He walked over and sat across from Dwayne only after seeing the two of them separate.Joselyn used a fork to serve him the spinach, saying, "I thought the spinach was delicious, I didn't get to eat it during the previous two fondue meals."Dwayne asked, "When did you have fondue again? Why didn't you take me?"Joselyn glanced at him and said, "What do you mean, taking you everywhere? Brodie and I ate together.""No, that won't do. Next time, I must be there!""Going, going, going, so annoying." Joselyn had a disgusted look on her face.But in Brodie's eyes, their interaction was just the playfu
