"Perhaps my father and I are still waiting for you. Enjoy your meal...""You... Rapunzel, let's go!" Chairman Lampo, who was also in a sorry state, being treated like this by Damian Desmond, had lost all face and naturally had no intention of saying anything else."Father..." Rapunzel Lampo didn't want to go, looking bewildered at the imposing, cold-hearted man.Angry to the extreme, Chairman Lampo pulled his daughter out the door, only to see Anna Desmond walking in with a stiff face. "Chairman Lampo, Miss Lampo, let me see you off."In the office, only Damian Desmond and Fiona Forger remained.She looked at him urgently, her hand not caught in his grip pulling on the man's sleeve. "I'm truly sorry for unintentionally ruining your business...""Are you a fool?" The man lowered his head to look at her; his voice was cold and distant, making Fiona Forger nervously bite her lip."You are my assistant, not a servant. You don't have to serve those two idiots. Do you understand?"The boss
"But doesn't the assistant have to accompany you on business trips?" Fiona asked."Not this time." He had initially planned to take her along, but considering her recent exhaustion, he thought it would be better for her to rest instead of traveling around and overeating."But I still want to go to work. What should I do now?""Next time, we'll go together." He almost softened when he saw her pitiful expression. "If I bring you along, I won't need to work. So, stay at home and wait for me."What does he mean by bringing her along and not needing to work? Boss, he can't control his reactions, and he blames her?"You can't resist temptation. Remember, don't tease those vixens when you're out." Miss Forger felt it necessary to warn him now that she no longer needed to sleep."There's already a vixen at home who's caused me to lose my appetite. It's not about desire; it's about eating out."Fiona couldn't help but stroke her imaginary beard. "Boss, is it possible to lose your appetite over
Being the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family took work, especially when the elders didn't recognize her. Alice knew that she would gradually experience the consequences, and if her husband didn't stand by her side, she couldn't imagine how she would get through the days.Not to mention that this was Mr. Peter Desmond's second marriage, and he was no longer young. Moreover, Alice was not the one with power in the family. In addition to her age and appearance being inferior to that of Alice, Mr. Desmond's first wife was someone who could be compared to her. It was standard for people to make such comparisons.The only fortunate thing for Alice was that Mr. Peter Desmond didn't live with his father, Desmond. His children were all grown up, so they didn't need a stepmother like her to take care of them.Alice believed she could secure her position in this household if she could seize the opportunity to become pregnant with a child.In the main house's living room, when meeting with other
Mr. Peter Desmond and Alice were the last ones to leave because before leaving, Mr. Peter Desmond made a visit to the patriarch's secluded quarters, going alone."Peter, it seems like the patriarch doesn't like me much. What should I do?"As the car left the Desmond family mansion, Alice pressed the button to raise the privacy divider between the front and rear compartments before daring to voice the discomfort that had plagued her all day.Due to having limited opportunities to meet regularly, apart from a monthly dinner, Alice had few chances to win the patriarch's favor except for the little boy, who only started calling him "grandfather" tonight.Because of that one word, "grandfather," the person who had always felt young suddenly began to feel old. Even though his face and figure still maintained the appearance of someone in their 40s, he was already approaching retirement age.But the girl sitting next to him was only 29 years old, which was still considered young for a woman a
Although Miss Forger's clothes were loose-fitting, based on the experience of observing Norman's women, she knew for sure that she wasn't a cup D.After so many years, she hadn't grown up a bit! On the contrary, her slim waist and long legs were not wrong.When Norman offended Miss Forger, she became furious and said, "You lascivious person, have you seen enough? If you don't let me go, I will tell him you are treating me disrespectfully."Treating someone disrespectfully is not a minor offense, and Norman Desmond dared not look at her anymore. He immediately let Fiona Forger go..."Fiona Forger, you can be promiscuous, but your words must be proper!" This time he spoke very earnestly.Just now, on the phone, the eldest brother even told him to have less lonely contact with her in the future. If the eldest brother heard her vulgar and inappropriate words, he might have punished him severely when he returned."Are you scared?" Miss Forger pouted."Fiona Forger, let me tell you, I'm not
"Narcissistic?""Thought you could move the whole Earth.""Well, moving the whole Earth might be difficult." Norman Desmond suddenly closed in, pressing her against the elevator wall. His arms blocked both sides of her, making it difficult for her to move. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "But moving you is quite easy."Liliana Forger, who had always known this man was a rogue, only now deeply understood that all the rogues combined were not equal to one of his fingertips! His tongue was a rogue, and his actions were even more despicable...After he finished that sentence, he pressed even closer to her. "Do you want to try if I can move you?"Without waiting for him to finish, she lifted her foot, intending to kick him. But perhaps it was because this Young Master Norman had teased girls too much; she guessed what his next move would be and quickly dodged it.At this moment, the elevator door opened just in time, and she said, "Crazy," before stepping out, with that rogue nat
They went to lunch with the chief secretary to take advantage of this break time to further cultivate their relationship."Assistant Forger is truly a special person." Aboli Brian raised her eyebrows and spoke. The girl didn't recognize her, indicating she didn't pay attention to her during their time at the restaurant.From childhood to adulthood, her presence had always been the center of attention among the crowd. But on that day, when she went to the restaurant with Loona Richart, Damian Desmond, and Fiona Forger ignored her.They are a couple!The two other secretaries just smiled without making any comments. At this moment, Anna Desmond also arrived, and the four of them sat down together, discussing non-work matters.When Fiona Forger returned to the office and opened the door, she saw the familiar tall figure standing by the window. She rushed over, leaping into his arms, and happily said, "Boss, you're back..."The man tightly embraced her, leaning down to inhale her familiar
Angela Zylians was stunned, clearly surprised by the man's request. She didn't turn around and replied, "Alright, may I ask what kind of tea the CEO would like?""Anything is fine." Jacky Forger threw those words at her and didn't say anything else. She could only leave to make the tea.When Anna Desmond returned from the CEO's office and heard that Jacky Forger wanted tea, she was so surprised that her eyes almost popped.What's gotten into him today?Usually, he only drank pure coffee, so when did this CEO change his preference?Her secretary should know better. Over the years, she had memorized the habits and tastes of essential guests who frequently visited the company. CEO Forger and her boss had similar preferences, always sticking to pure coffee.Who would have thought he suddenly changed his taste? That's strange! Last week, they were still drinking coffee during the meeting!"Angela Zylians, do you know how to make tea? Just make a pot of whatever he wants." Remembering her t
"What?" She opened her eyes and turned around, her clear gaze meeting his deep one."I'm sorry. And... thank you.""I love you."Between them, there was no need for words like "sorry" and "thank you.""I love you too." His words had barely finished when his warm lips sealed hers, and in his heart, he silently vowed to love her even more, erasing any lingering hurt and scars she had endured.o0oOn their wedding night, though late, it finally arrived.This was destined to be a gentle and dreamy night, a night he had been waiting for so long.He was careful and tender to the extreme when treating this girl he loved and cherished.And she, her restless heart, couldn't hide her anticipation.The water in the bathtub rippled incessantly due to their late-night intimate combination.In the warm bedroom, the curtain lightly swayed in the night breeze."Still hurting?"He held her and pityingly kissed her sweat-drenched long hair.Ember Canen shook her head, her small, blushing face brimming
"Yes." Brad reached into his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, and handed it to him."You can go back now. Please help me lock up on your way." Holding the pack of cigarettes, he pulled one out and lit it."Alright." Brad knew that, at this moment, his boss didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. The mess in the office could only be cleaned up by the cleaning staff tomorrow.He silently left, casually closing the office door behind him.Chris Desmond picked up his mobile phone, now turned off due to the earlier throw. With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked to the window and looked down at the mesmerizing night scene below. However, he had no mood to appreciate it.When the call connected, he exhaled a puff of smoke and decisively said, "Immediately arrange for someone to go to Malaysia. I want to know her exact location within two hours."They couldn't hide her away like this, preventing him from meeting her. If there were any issues or requests, they should tell him. He would d
The whole family came to the house only to leave empty-handed. In the end, everyone went their own way.Originally, Damian Desmond intended to take both mother and child home before heading to the company. However, both insisted that he go to the company, so he could only lead them along.Upon reaching the office on the top floor, Mr. Desmond went to work while Mrs. Desmond comfortably lay on the sofa reading a comic. Oh, not the 18+ type, but a parenting comic.Young Mr. Forger was sitting at the desk chatting with his father for a while, but he got bored and ran to the IT room on the 19th floor to play.The people in the IT room saw the young prince arrive and hurriedly welcomed him, offering various drinks and breakfast with care.After playing for more than two hours, young Mr. Forger finally got up lazily when the upper floor called to remind him to come to eat."Young prince, if the CEO finds out you're playing like this, we..."There would be no place to hide!But would they da
But family members, at least, should be notified, right?Speaking of family, she had yet to tell her mother. She should find an opportunity to talk to her.She reclined back onto the bed, tossing and turning for a while without being able to sleep.So, she picked up her phone again and went online. When Jacky Forger returned to the room and saw her still messing with her phone, he snatched it away and placed it on the bedside table."Go to sleep." "And you? Are you still busy?"It was almost midnight."Tomorrow, I have to go to Lyon for a trip. Do you want to come with me?"Liliana usually handled the matters over there, so now she suddenly mentioned her unsuitable physical condition as an excuse. He would still have to go there to take over the work, conveniently monitoring the ongoing projects' progress."Do you want to take me out?""If you say you want to, then sure."They were a married couple, yet he didn't have much free time for her. Their wedding had been delayed, and they di
She discreetly glanced at him and saw that he was still motionless, with an unpleasant and frightening expression on his face.If this had been in the past, seeing him like this would have made her legs tremble and unsteady. Even though they had been living together for a while, looking at him still sent shivers down her spine.Carefully approaching, she bent her back to lift the tea tray, but she heard him speak..."Come here!"These were just two simple words, yet they held a power that made others hesitate.She let out a sigh and obediently walked over. Before she even reached his side, he stood up and pulled her towards him. He used force to press her onto the sofa, and before she could react, his entire body was pressing down on her."Jacky..." Angela Zylian let out a cry. Her chin was held and turned towards him; his lips, carrying the faint scent of cigarettes, were pressed tightly against hers.She knew he was angry. From his actions, she could sense the invisible anger he was
As soon as Mrs. Robinson asked this question, Angela Zylian froze. She thought they knew the situation, but being asked like this caught her off guard. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Ultimately, under Mrs. Robinson's scrutinizing gaze, she decided to tell the truth. "Previously, we had a... romantic relationship...""And now?" Mrs. Robinson had already guessed the answer to this question. There was nothing new here. What she wanted to know was the current status.After all, they hadn't been living together before.A couple of times, Mrs. Robinson and Liliana had been to her brother's apartment, but they had never seen any trace of a girl."Now she's my wife. Any objections?" A familiar voice replaced Angela Zylian's answer.Jacky Forger had returned home at some point. Holding a document folder and a freshly removed vest, he stood at the living room entrance. His casual gaze swept over his mother and sister. "Why didn't you let me know before coming?"When his mother ha
One of the reasons Angela Zylian came to France was because Jacky needed an assistant. However, she could look for another job if he didn't need her."Don't you like this kind of life?" He set his coffee cup down, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then leisurely asked."Not necessarily."Being at home every day, taking care of household chores, and cooking for him made her happy, but there wasn't much to do with just the two of them at home.Most of her time was spent reading books or daydreaming, which was becoming monotonous."Let's talk about work later." He stood up and proposed a different idea to her. "If you're bored, consider furthering your studies."At any rate, going to school was better than going out to find a job where she might attract unwanted attention from other men. While there were undoubtedly men at school, the situation was much simpler overall.After CEO Forger approved her plan to continue her education, Angela Zylian eagerly focused on her career.Going back
In the RoomTiffany sat on the bed, swinging her legs back and forth as she looked at her mother, then glanced at her "sister," her small mouth sealed..."Brother-in-law said he's the father, so... who is the real father, after all?""Tiffany, come here." Mrs. Canen waved her hand, and Tiffany obediently hopped off the bed and ran to her.Taking a deep breath to regulate her emotions, Mrs. Canen looked at the little girl and asked..."Tiffany, if you had another father like your brother-in-law, would you like that?"Following her thoughts, the little girl nodded."Then let's start telling the old stories..."o0oThe heavy rain in Singapore had finally stopped, but November in Paris brought continuous drizzles.Though she wasn't going to work, Angela Zylian woke up early daily to prepare breakfast for him.Their married life had officially begun, and everything else felt new apart from becoming more familiar with each other's bodies.During this period, they were trying to adapt to eac
She admitted it with her mouth, causing a sharp, intense pain to surge through his chest, a pain so fierce that it numbed his heart and soul.No wonder every time she was stimulated to the point of regaining her memory, she looked at him with so much fear, tears streaming down her face...So, this was the truth.So, that wretched, damn person was him. Like a madman, he pounded his hands on the steering wheel several times, finally burying his face in it.Why did this foolish woman forgive him? Why couldn't she open her mouth and say something to him?Why was she so foolish?"Chris, I..."She reached out to him, but the man who had buried his face in the steering wheel suddenly lifted his head, looking at her with eyes blurred by her tears, staring at that familiar face...Why?Why was it him?He got out of the car and circled to help her open the car door, wordlessly pulling her out."Wait outside for a while."Saying that, without waiting for her reaction, he got back in the car, sta
