"I'm not bored," Colin replied in a measured tone.
Leah strolled over and took a seat in the chair next to him, propping her chin up with one hand as she looked at him.
"What are you looking at?" Colin inquired.
"I'm looking at you. You look handsome," she said without hesitation.
After all the time she had spent pretending to be a proper lady in front of him, she figured it was time to drop the act and be herself.
At her words, Colin's gaze wavered for a moment.
Leah seemed different today.
It wasn't just her words but her whole demeanor.
Her delicate, doll-like face was adorned with vibrant peach-toned makeup. Her dark eyes, like precious gemstones, stared at him, and her rosy lips curled into a faint, lazy smile.
This was the real her, wasn't it?
Emotions flickered in Colin's eyes.
He spoke slowly, "Is that so? Have you decided to change your approach today? Well, it won't work on me."
"Jackson," a crisp call came from the back seat. "Here, boss!" Jackson responded, feeling an unexpected wave of unease. "The day after tomorrow, you need to arrange a meeting with Mr. Baron. Mention it tomorrow," the boss said. "Boss, isn't that a bit rushed?" Jackson asked tentatively. "Do as I instructed," the boss replied firmly. "Alright." Sigh. It was another day where the boss seemed to be acting impulsively due to love. Diana sat in the car, reading John's messages, her heart filled with fluttering excitement, despite the directive to focus on work. But, truth be told, she missed him. As Diana glanced out the window, she noticed something. "Wait, Lynn, pull over." When the car stopped by the side of the road, Diana opened the door and got out. She surveyed the delicately decorated flower shop before her. Since it was still early, she decided to take a look inside. The inter
"No," Diana replied curtly. If it weren't for Kevin's sake, she probably wouldn't have said another word to him. She couldn't help but feel wary of this man, almost as if it were an instinctual reaction. The shopkeeper pursed his lips, swiftly took the money, and then approached Yosef. "Are you feeling unwell? Maybe I should... I could take you to the hospital," he stammered as he got closer to Yosef. As he drew near Yosef, the shopkeeper's face grew even redder. Up close, this man seemed even more handsome. He exuded a natural air of elegance and nobility, making him appear incredibly regal. Yosef paid her no attention. He watched as Diana hurriedly walked towards the door, clutching a bouquet of flowers. It seemed like she was genuinely preparing to leave. This woman... Could she be any colder? A surge of displeasure washed over him inexplicably. He moved closer, about to reach out and grab her
"Take that, you bastard!" Stanhope let out a painful cry as he fell to the ground. Ben wasn't done. He charged forward, delivering blow after blow. "Help! Somebody, please help!" Several onlookers stood frozen. Usher, his face impassive, said nothing. He knew Ben needed to vent his anger, so he let him pummel Stanhope for a while. When he felt it was enough, he calmly said, "Ramingo, control your men." Ramingo glanced at Anthony and Leo standing nearby. "You two, get in there." "We got it!" Anthony rolled up his sleeves, and together with Leo, they joined the fight. "You sissy! I've been fed up with you for a long time!" "Why are you crying? You're a pathetic wimp!" The two of them leaped into action, adding their punches to the mix. Ramingo rubbed his temples. "Stop, I told you to break it up, not join in." "Like this? Weren't we supposed to help them fight?" Anth
In response to Leah's puzzled gaze, Diana shrugged, "I'm already spoken for, I'm not here to dance today... You too, dressed so casually. It's such a great opportunity; aren't you going to invite Colin?" Leah rolled her eyes, "Don't even mention it. Colin is trailing after the professor again today, working on some paper. There's no way he's coming." "I can see your path to winning a man is long and winding." Diana clicked her tongue twice, then started cracking some sunflower seeds while keeping an eye on Lily, who was sitting not far away. Lily was also not dressed up, sitting in a chair in the lounge area with a gloomy expression on her face. Without a doubt, her expression was as if her parents had just died. A hint of coldness curled up at the corner of Diana's lips. She had brought this upon herself; she couldn't blame anyone else. Tonight's drama was something she was looking forward to. Lily sat in the c
Seeing Lily's distressed expression, Cartman, who had his arm around her waist, reached for her backside. "Get off!" Lily suddenly screamed, pushing him away forcefully and delivering a sharp slap. "I'm done playing with you!" With that, she turned angrily and made her way toward the exit. She couldn't stay here any longer; she was afraid she might lose control and confront that shameless Diana. That shameless, two-faced woman! Flirting shamelessly, and now she was trying to seduce her Noah! Lily was ready to expose Diana for who she really was! Lily's face contorted into a grotesque expression. Just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly tripped her from behind. With a loud "thud," she crashed to the ground. The deafening noise startled everyone nearby. Lily felt dizzy and a sharp pain shot through her knee. She glared fiercely at Cartman, who stood before her with an indifferent expression
"Colin? What brings you here?" Leah asked. "Just passing by," Colin replied. Leah hesitated, her mind racing with an incredible thought. Could it be that he had actually come to find her? That couldn't be possible, could it? "You seemed to be having a great time dancing with Harper," Colin suddenly remarked. Harper sensed that something was amiss. "Colin, what's going on?" Leah, seeing his demeanor, was briefly surprised. Then, she suddenly let out an innocent, playful smile. Colin pursed his lips. "Come here," he said, taking the initiative to walk toward the exit. Harper was visibly displeased. "This guy, why is he ordering people around like this? Leah, I..." "Harper, I'll catch up with you later. See you!" Leah immediately let go of the hand she had placed on Harper's shoulder. Harper was taken aback. "Leah, why are you listening to him like this?" "No choice, I like him!" Leah blurted out.
Lost in thought, Diana suddenly heard hurried footsteps approaching from behind. "Diana, wait up!" Diana halted in her tracks and turned around. She saw Noah chasing after her. He briskly approached Diana, panting slightly. Diana found it a bit odd. "What's up?" "Diana, did you just say you liked someone earlier, or were you just messing with me?" Noah inquired. He had just pondered it for a moment and felt something was off. Diana had always liked Luke before, and he hadn't heard about her being interested in anyone else. So why did she suddenly mention having feelings for someone new? "Did you make it up to reject me, Diana?" Noah scratched his head, looking somewhat distressed. "Do you really dislike me that much? Actually... I kind of like you. Let's start as friends; can you give me a chance?" "I didn't lie to you," Diana responded, puzzled. "I have a boyfriend." Noah spontaneously asked, "What's yo
As if he wanted to meld her into his body. "W-wait..." Diana found a moment to catch her breath, her face suddenly turning beet red. "You don't mean to do it here, do you?" "Mm." John responded with a low, throaty sound, not giving her a chance to speak, as he moved in for another kiss. At the same time, he reached out to unfasten his belt. Diana reached out and grabbed his shirt, her breath quickening in an instant. John, burning like a raging fire, had her completely defenseless. But... She found herself utterly infatuated. Just then, a sudden knock on the car window startled Diana. She turned to look outside the window. There, she saw a face that filled her with disgust. "Diana? Is that you in there?!" Outside, Lily tapped on the car window, trying to get a glimpse of what was happening inside. Earlier today, she had lost sight of Diana, and after calming down, she had
