Tiffany lowered her head in fear of being noticed. “No need. I’m going the other way since I still have something to do. You can go on ahead.”Jackson was not blind nor was he a fool. Girls, generally, only carried handbags that were huge enough to hold a phone and some cosmetics to work. However, Tiffany had been bringing a black garment bag to work lately, and it was obviously not something she had just bought. He was quite curious about where she went in a rush after work. He complied but asked the driver to stop the car at the intersection. He watched as Tiffany entered a cab and ordered the driver to tail them. The driver was a little confused. “Sir, aren’t you going back to dine with madam today? Where are you going? We’re running late...”Jackson frowned. “Inform my mom that I won’t be back for dinner today. I’ve got something else to do.” He followed Tiffany all the way until he saw the taxi stop in front of a nightclub. After hesitating for a moment, he asked the driver to s
The man remained silent.Tiffany cursed inwardly. Why was he acting aloof when he came to this kind of place to have fun? She was still new to this industry. Now that the atmosphere had turned awkward, she did not know how she should proceed.She recalled the teachings of the madam of this place and guessed that the man in front of her must prefer the more passionate and playful type. At the thought of her empty wallet and the 1,200 dollars that Lillian had just spent this morning, she gritted her teeth and latched herself onto the man’s arm. “Why are you so quiet, sir? I’m sorry. I just started working here, and I’m not good at pleasing the guests yet. Would you like to call a few more girls in here to have fun together?”However, Tiffany panicked when the man grabbed the hand she had placed on his chest. Did she encounter a pervert? However, in just a blink of an eye, the man released her hand and said, “Are you really this short of money?”Tiffany started. She did not expect the
Tiffany’s voice choked a little at the end. In order to hold back her tears, she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it all in one go. Fortunately, she was no stranger to wine and had drank her fair share of alcohol in the past. Being able to hold her liquor at least allowed her to work in this kind of place.Jackson also felt that he was getting a little emotional tonight. He took a deep breath and softened his voice. “You can treat me as a stranger and just tell me whatever you want.”Tiffany drank the wine that Jackson paid for as she muttered, “Alright, I’ll tell you if you want to hear it. It’s true that my family no longer needs to pay off any debts now, but I’m still as broke as a church mouse. After my ex-boyfriend broke up with me, he returned all the money I spent on him when we were dating. It was close to $300,000. That’s a lot of money for me. I was hoping to save enough money one day and buy a house in a good location. But my mom spent all that in just the blink of
Tiffany kept thinking that something was wrong. Why was this guy helping her? She stood up and suddenly felt the world around her spin. She must have drank too much just now and got dizzy. Jackson managed to catch her in time. Tiffany felt his soft palms and involuntarily leaned against him. Jackson felt something soft pressed up against his chest before a nice scent wafted into his nose.He took off his coat stiffly and put it around Tiffany. He only now knew what was in the black garment bag that she brought to work every day; it was the dress she was wearing now. It had quite a bold design and was very revealing.They went outside, and when the cold wind blew, Tiffany staggered to the side of the road and retched. Jackson handed her a tissue. “Are you alright? I saw you finish half a big bottle of pure vodka. You must be feeling really bad now…”Although Tiffany was dizzy, she wasn’t deaf. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I’ve never drank that kind of pure manly alcohol!”Jackso
Eric was intrigued when he noticed that Mark was catching up to him. Both of them started racing against each other until they parted ways at an intersection. Even then, Mark didn’t slow down. Arianne’s heart beat crazily as she clung to her seatbelt for dear life. “What are you doing? I’m scared…! The road is pretty dark and slippery, can you slow down?”Mark slammed on the brakes just as the car reached the luxury residential area. There weren’t many cars on this road at this hour and no cops would issue any tickets here. Arianne patted her chest for a long while to calm herself down. “Why did you decide to come pick me up? I can come back by myself…”“Come back by yourself? Do you mean getting Eric to send you home, instead?” There was jealousy in his tone.“I usually take a cab home by myself. Eric only gives me a ride on the days I work overtime. What’s wrong with that? You can just tell me directly if I’ve upset you in any way. Don’t use such an extreme method to frighten me.
Nina saw her rushing down the stairs with a flushed face and teased her with a smirk, “Seems like Mark was too excited… It hasn’t even been that long since you were discharged…”Arianne was so embarrassed that she wanted to die. “What are you talking about…? That’s not it… I’m exhausted. I’m just going to take a shower and sleep.”Mary glared at Nina. “Don’t poke your nose into other people’s business, young lady! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Mind your own business!”Nina disagreed with her. “We’re all adults here, what are you worried about? Given the sexual tension between them earlier, I thought they were going to do something. Seems like I got excited over nothing. Both of them usually just look so ‘sex depraved’. Aren’t you curious too on how their relationship will develop?”“It’s not like you don’t know that madam is in poor health. Sir is understanding toward her. You’re the only one making wild guesses here. I think you’re too bored out of your mind,” Mary brushed her o
“You say that nothing happened between us, but why were you sleeping in the same bed as me? Please use your brain even when you’re lying. I’m an adult and I can take responsibility for my own actions, but I just can’t stand looking at guys like you who wouldn’t take responsibility for yours!” Tiffany was extremely vexed. No matter how she looked at these details, it didn't seem like nothing had happened.“Excuse me? You were the one who didn’t want to go home or give me your home address. I had no choice but to bring you back here since I couldn’t send you home. I don’t have a bed prepared in the other rooms. This is the only room where we can sleep in this house and I’m not going to sleep on the sofa. Besides, I was dead exhausted from taking care of you the whole night. Where else would I sleep if not on the bed?” Jackson poked his head out of the bathroom while brushing his teeth as he complained to Tiffany about her over the top behavior.Regardless of whether Jackson was telling
It was almost lunch time when Jackson called the department of design. The supervisor shouted at the top of her lungs, “Tiffany Lane, Mr. West is looking for you! Hurry to his office!”Tiffany’s brain nearly exploded at the mention of Jackson’s name. “Got it!”On her way to the office, she kept thinking about what Jackson would do to her in the office. Could it be that he wanted to continue where they left off from last night? Otherwise, why would he suddenly look for her?She took her time walking to his office, then lifted her hand to knock on the door. She had already made up her mind. If Jackson was going to ask her for a favor, she would never agree. This wasn’t something a human with conscience could do...“Come in,” Jackson’s voice came from inside.Tiffany calmed herself down and pushed open the door. She kept a distance between them and stood at the door. “What’s the matter?”Jackson picked a document up without even lifting his head. “Send this to Glide. Since Arianne i
