Angela Zylians walked to the end of the hallway to answer a phone call and returned to her room about ten minutes later. She had just been persuaded to drink a few glasses by her colleagues. As someone who didn't drink much, she felt a bit overwhelmed but couldn't refuse. After all, she had to socialize when going out, and it would be good to make connections in the future. That's what she told herself.As she turned towards their room, she saw a man standing there. She thought she must have mistaken him for someone else, so she blinked a few times, only to realize the person standing there was indeed their boss. Had she gone in the wrong direction? She turned back and looked at the other end of the hallway. She had been walking with everyone earlier but had not paid much attention to the room numbers. Was it on the right or the left? She stood there in confusion, feeling a bit drunk and disoriented. It seemed like she had gone the wrong way!She turned around and started walking in t
It's not that he's not at ease, but seeing her laughing and talking happily with another man, he feels uncomfortable, even if that person is his cousin."The eldest brother is strict with girls!" Sivan Alexander pouted as he watched the boss's figure."You should find a girl to manage too!" Chris Desmond teased him."Forget it, and it's difficult for me. I prefer to find an independent and mature girl, so I don't have to worry too much," Sivan Alexander shrugged. He preferred to find a girl who was independent and more capable.o0oWhen Leon Alexander saw his cousin coming, he knew it was time to retreat, so he politely placed his glass on the table and disappeared."Look, I mixed this glass; try it!" Fiona Forger presented a glass of colorful wine to the man with enthusiasm.Damian Desmond lowered his head to look at the glass of wine, and in the end, he couldn't resist the expectant look on her face. He took a sip...If it weren't for respecting her, he would have to spit out the si
Sigh, their child doesn't need them. Should the two of them be reprimanded a bit? But the boss said boys should learn to be independent from a young age, so it's better not to control them too much as long as it's within acceptable limits.Fine, if he doesn't manage, she doesn't work!But her birthday is in two days, and as far as she knows, the boss's birthday is less than a week apart. She wonders how to celebrate it properly.The boss said he doesn't have a habit of celebrating birthdays, so if she likes, they can celebrate together. She remembered that he had mentioned wanting to take her to the beach to stargaze last time, which sounded like a good idea. It felt pretty romantic!Fiona Forger was flipping through the boss's work schedule, trying to see if he would be accessible in two days when the office door was pushed open; Anna Desmond appeared at the door..."Fiona, come with me to conference room number 1." Anna Desmond's tone was severe, and her expression carried a hint of
She quickly turned her head. "Why is this instruction different from what I saw this morning?""Huh?" The man responded absentmindedly, as if he needed to hear what she said clearly.Fiona Forger slammed her hand on the hand that was mischievously moving. "This instruction fundamentally differs from the one I saw this morning."She opened her tablet. "I made a copy of it. This is the content I copied from Angela Zylians' tablet this morning."The man held her waist, pulling her down to sit upright on his lap. "I know.""Did you even look at it to say you know?" Caught in the masculine scent of his cologne, she couldn't help but lean into his chest."Girl, since when did you start saving evidence?" He lightly nibbled on her earlobe."Anna told me that at work..." She slightly evaded but couldn't avoid him. "...especially for important matters, it's better to have a clear memory. It's best to make a copy."Anna Desmond had taught her many things about work, making her understand that it
"Why do you have the leisure to call me?" She deftly shifted the topic."Your work is probably busier than mine. Girls shouldn't take risks like that. Take care of your health," Chris Desmond said with concern."Chris, you're kidding. How can my work compare to yours?""Let's not compare our work anymore. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together," Chris Desmond invited."Sure." They probably hadn't seen each other for three or four months. Although she had often been to the Desmond Corporation for business, she had never met him. Besides, she was alone when she returned home. Liliana Forger immediately agreed.After confirming the time and place, she hung up the phone.Liliana Forger rarely arrived on time, but today she intentionally changed out of her office attire and put on a modest, short dress. Her typically neatly tied hair was let down and flowed down her back. She lightly touched up her makeup and left.The secretaries in the secretary's office couldn't help but think
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Aboli Brian sat up from the bed and hastily removed the face mask, only to realize that Wilma Bonet had entered the room at some point with a curious look on her face."Sis, what's wrong?"Aboli Brian let out a sigh of frustration. "Today, I offended Fiona Forger.""Oh, you offended her?" Wilma Bonet's eyes lit up with excitement. She sat down on the bed and held her sister's hand. "What did you do?""Why do you seem so thrilled, like you're watching a funny play?" Aboli Brian frowned at her sister, finding her laughter rather inappropriate."I just thought that maybe you difficultly dealt with her for her to bear.""Do you think I dared to confront her right before Damian Desmond?""What's so good about her that the man sees her as a treasure?" Wilma Bonet said with a frustrated tone, a hint of resentment in her smile, and complete jealousy in her eyes."Regardless of whether she's good, you can't underestimate the power of
In the past, even though she always followed him, he would never say such hurtful words. But when she abandoned all shame and dignity this time, his every word felt like a slap, hitting her repeatedly.If he thought of her like that, then there was no longer a need for her to pretend to be a delicate young lady. If she didn't do it, then fine. If she did it, she would do it shamelessly. So she directly threw herself at him, entwining...But before she could do anything, Fiona Forger had already left!The only thing she didn't expect was that Fiona Forger didn't have the slightest doubt and instead humiliated her to the greatest extent in her life."You... you've gone too far!" Loona Richart picked up her clothes thrown on her body and used her hand to wipe off the things sticking to her face. The slimy feeling almost drove her crazy. How could she go out and meet people like this?!Thinking about how she was seen like this, she was about to go mad from all the gossip circulating after
"Cherry Desmond, do you believe that just by saying a few words, you won't be able to borrow a single penny?" Assistant Forger was also getting irritated. It was clear that this young miss intentionally wanted to argue with her. "Moreover, in the past, you helped me hide many things from the boss. He respected me and didn't question you. Are you sure you want me to bring up the past to him?""Fiona Forger, is this a threat?" Miss Desmond stood up, her tall stature and high heels making her look down at the seemingly innocent face curled up on the sofa."Yes, it is a threat. You don't have to accept this kind of threat." Miss Forger chuckled, feeling even more satisfied with herself.She's good at this! But she couldn't ignore this threat. She may have to ask Miss Forger to say a few things.She had to eat it even if she couldn't swallow her anger! However, she couldn't scold or get angry with her beyond her words!"Fiona Forger, you truly have no conscience, always seeking benefits fo
"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
