Filla walked in, holding a folder.She wore a business suit, her hair in a high bun, looking quite a bit like Prisley.But Filla's makeup was heavier, her clothes more expensive, making Prisley look fresher in comparison.Steve exchanged a meaningful glance with Heather.Seeing Filla, a small smile appeared on Heather’s usually poker face."Hey Filla, didn't expect to work with you," Steve greeted casually. He sat aside, watching them gossipingly.Filla went straight to Heather’s chair and sat down as if she owned the office."Heather, I have a proposal to discuss with you." She glanced at Steve, her expression wary.Heather smiled, "Go ahead, Steve's not an outsider. He'll be overseeing your investment department. So you'll report directly to him from now on."Filla shifted slightly in her seat, letting her skirt ride up just a bit. She leaned forward, ensuring Heather got a glimpse of her neckline."Heather, I've put a lot of thought into this proposal," she said, her voice dropping
Heather stood by the office window, looking a bit frustrated. Filla's performance today had been embarrassing.Steve asked, "What are you going to do? How are you planning to handle this? You've always been good at selecting talent and have the best people in every department. But now, it seems Filla might be staining your career."Steve wanted to tease him but felt the situation was too serious for that.Heather turned around, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness and irritation. "Removing Filla from her position is going to be complicated. You know I owe her mother a debt."Years ago, Filla's mother was Heather's private tutor. During an outing, Heather fell into the water and got tangled in debris, unable to save himself. Filla's mother jumped in to rescue him, but she was swept away by the current due to exhaustion.Heather's father valued loyalty and decided to raise Filla, providing her with a good life and quality education. So, Filla grew up close to Heather and David.Steve
Heather angrily opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards them.Prisley and Mark were in a deep embrace, not noticing someone approaching.Suddenly, Mark was yanked away and got a hard punch to the face. He let out a painful groan.Prisley screamed, "No! Heather, stop!"But Heather was like a madwoman and didn't listen at all.Mark was not one to back down. After taking the punch, he stepped back, adjusted himself, and lunged at Heather.The two started fighting fiercely, exchanging punches and kicks.Prisley shouted, "Stop! It's not good if someone sees this!""YYou both have reputations. Don't act like this. Heather! Mark!"But the two madmen didn't listen and continued to fight intensely.Prisley couldn't decide whom to help. In her heart, she didn't want either of them to get hurt.Seeing that persuasion was useless, Prisley stepped forward to separate them.Heather swung a punch, but Mark dodged, and the punch landed heavily on Prisley's abdomen.Prisley let out a s
In David's office, on the comfortable chair, Filla was sitting on David’s lap, kissing him passionately."Filla, I've wanted to fuck you for a long time. How did I not know you were this wild?" David said playfully.Even when Filla and Heather were dating, David coveted Filla’s beauty. But Heather’s dominance kept him from acting on his desires.The more unattainable something was, the more David wanted it. He had no real feelings for Filla. He just wanted to obtain something that was challenging to get. And taking her from Heather made it all the more satisfying. That sense of achievement was far greater than closing any business deal.David harbored deep-seated jealousy and a desire for revenge against Heather. He had even tried to seduce Prisley, but she never gave him a chance. Now that Filla was offering herself, David had no reason to refuse.Filla's hand slid down from David’s chest, moving slowly to his lower body. She unzipped his pants and, with a provocative smile, asked, “
Filla, determined to please David, used every trick in her book. She employed her mouth, her hands, every method she knew. Finally, David let out a low moan and went soft, sweat dripping from his forehead."Bitch, you're amazing. Just like you said, I would enjoy you." David cleaned himself up and zipped his pants, looking satisfied. He didn't even give Filla a kiss or a touch, his eyes cold and indifferent."Will you fall in love with me?" Filla asked seductively, her voice soft and silky, her eyes filled with hope.David laughed with sarcasm and disdain. "How could I fall in love with you? How ridiculous! Filla, you and I can only be secret lovers. Don't think too far ahead."Despite having anticipated this, Filla still felt a bit uncomfortable. But she didn't want to anger David."You’re such a slut. Heather enjoyed you for so many years. He really knows how to enjoy life.""I hope you'll come back tomorrow. We'll try something different."David lit a cigar and started making calls
"Boss, I'm sorry, but Prisley's medical records have been taken and deleted."Heather's face darkened. He knew it had to be Mark. Only he had the motive and the ability to pull this off. The question of whose child it was weighed heavily on Heather's mind.He never had any longing for family. In his eyes, so-called family ties were just about blood and money. Otherwise, they were like strangers. They wouldn't exchange more than a few words, nor would they share any happiness. From a young age, Heather had always kept things to himself.But since Prisley came into his life, things had changed. She brought a new energy to his daily existence.Every day, she would tell him so many things, share her happiness, and notice when something was bothering him. She would gently coax him until he felt better.Looking back, it seemed so luxurious. This was the kind of affection money couldn't buy, and Prisley had given it to him for four years. But now that she'd decided to leave, it was something
Mark returned home, happily handing Prisley a gift box, his eyes full of joy. “What’s this?” Prisley asked, taking the box from him. “Open it and see.” Mark’s smile was gentle.Prisley felt a bit puzzled. “Is today some special occasion?” “With you here, every day is a celebration. Congratulations, today you’re mine.” Mark looked satisfied, opening his arms toward Prisley. Prisley smiled and walked into his embrace, letting him hold her. “And tomorrow? Will we celebrate too?” “Of course, as long as you don’t get tired of me.” They both laughed and looked into each other’s eyes.Mark unwrapped the gift box, revealing an expensive emerald necklace inside. The craftsmanship was intricate, and the gemstones were of the highest quality. He lovingly placed the necklace around Prisley’s neck, then pulled her into a tight embrace, unwilling to let go. With a mix of seriousness and humor, he said, “I often wonder, what would my life be like if I hadn’t crashed into you that day
Prisley was in Mark’s arms, feeling a bit uneasy despite the intimacy they’d just shared. She told him she was tired and stopped talking.The sex with Mark was enjoyable, but deep down, she felt unsettled.Prisley never truly loved Mark. But seeing how hard he tried to win her over, she didn’t want to hurt him.From the day she agreed to be his girlfriend, she kept telling herself that love could grow. Mark was on the same wavelength as her. They understood each other so well. They could laugh and cry together. They didn’t even need words to know what the other was thinking.A person so in tune with her had to be the ideal boyfriend, right?But she realized she was wrong. After the physical pleasure faded, Prisley saw that Mark hadn’t touched her heart. Looking into Mark’s sincere eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth.“This will have to do,” she told herself, “I can handle it. I’ll keep the lie for his sake.”That’s why Prisley could never say “I love you” to Mark. E
