"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
It couldn't be denied that, in certain aspects, he still held traditional male beliefs. Many years ago, their grandfather intervened and separated the two of them, and if it hadn't been for him voluntarily giving up, this relationship might have continued.Social background and status weren't the most important factors for a man. What mattered most was whether he had the trust, courage, and determination to go after what he wanted and whether he could lead a woman to follow him without regrets for the rest of her life."Brother..." Cherry Desmond understood his intentions and earnestly defended Kellan Lutz. "When I saw you this time, he didn't know about it. Do you remember what you once said to me? That a person with strong determination cannot fail? He is also such a person. Although not many people currently value his research project, it may have a difficult start, but I believe he will shine one day.""This week, I have to go to the United States. Wait for me to return, and then
Jacky Forger's icy gaze suddenly darkened as he squinted at her. "Why are you still here so late? Can I assume that you were waiting for me?"He had paid little attention to the late hour and the person hiding in the parking lot until the car turned into the exit, and he accidentally glanced at the rearview mirror, only to find a familiar figure.He had given up on looking for her, but unexpectedly, she appeared before him on her own accord just a week after that evening.He parked the car, walked back to the parking lot, and was surprised to see the girl sitting on the ground, crying uncontrollably. He had no idea when she had started crying, but every step he took seemed to coincide with her sobs.Why would she, who had a comfortable life, come to his place to enjoy the breeze? And at such a late hour?With his provocative gaze, Angela Zylians lowered her head and noticed that a button on her shirt had come undone, exposing a portion of her fair chest. Instinctively, she used her ha
Throughout the afternoon, she couldn't focus on her work at all. She made consecutive mistakes, and Anna Desmond thought she might be unwell, so she allowed her to leave halfway through the day.But could she go home?She was still a new employee and couldn't let her matters affect her work. If not, she might be fired even before the end of her probation period.So she gritted her teeth and persevered. Anna Desmond noticed something was off with her and guessed something might have happened with her family or friends. However, she said nothing, knowing she couldn't force her to go home. She just advised her to tidy up meeting notes and avoid idle thoughts.Until the end of working hours, she diligently completed the tasks assigned by Anna Desmond. After finishing, she felt an overwhelming exhaustion throughout her body. She couldn't even take half a step and sat in the office, feeling completely drained. The person who used to be there was gone. At least here, she didn't feel suffocat
Lying in the same position for too long, she was afraid her mother would suspect something, so she deliberately moved a bit, transitioning from a tilted position to lying on her back.Suddenly, her mother's fingers gently touched the still swollen red side of her face, slid down to her slender chin, and the rough touch and faint smell of cigarettes shook her. Then she felt something cold touch her lips.Her heart trembled, and her eyes flew open, meeting a pair of deep, unpredictable eyes.She was shocked but could only widen her eyes, staring dumbfounded at the person who had just pressed their lips against hers.It wasn't her mother. The person who had been by her side all this time was Jacky Forger...The man's lips quickly withdrew, his cold expression unchanged, but his eyes held a trace of anger and unease from being caught in the act. Especially when she opened her eyes in surprise and looked at him...He stood up abruptly, his voice low and stern. "Stop using those eyes to sed
