"Just an excuse!""Why are you so hurry to introduce me to your parents, Miss Canen?" Chris Desmond chuckled softly."I just want to get married!" Miss Canen couldn't help but give him a nudge."That's right, I'm craving to get married and die!" he replied."Oh, should we find a time to meet my parents, invite your father and mother for tea?" Ember Canen suggested.After she spoke, the smile on Chris Desmond's face faded by more than half. "Let's discuss it later.""Don't the boy and girl like me?" Seeing his expression change, Ember Canen couldn't help but worry. She had been studying abroad since she was seventeen and only returned a few months ago. Combined with her lack of interest in keeping up with the news, she learned about his parent's divorce after joining the company. After starting work, she naturally would have a different free time than newcomers to chat with superiors, so she didn't know the details of his parent's divorce.Seeing her concern, Chris Desmond gently strok
"Damian is a workaholic, both in the past and now. It must be tough for anyone by his side, right?" Alice casually remarked, but she subtly revealed her intimacy with him in front of Fiona Forger. "When we were studying abroad, he used to work until midnight. No matter how I urged him, he wouldn't stop. We even had arguments that lasted for days."Although Fiona Forger was simple-minded in some aspects, she was still perceptive in certain areas. This lady was flaunting her past closeness with Damian Desmond as if she understood him well.They were both married to other people now, and Alice even married her ex-boyfriend's father. Wasn't it shameful for her to casually discuss their past as if nothing happened?Wasn't it too shameless?Fiona Forger met her suggestive gaze and replied, "He is very comfortable to work with. He doesn't have any special requirements. Just being by his side is enough. By the way, does Mr. Desmond know you're here today?"Fiona Forger brought up Mr. Peter De
However, most men didn't like strong-willed women. Women who were too independent would put pressure on men. Their intelligence of Alice lies in not appearing too strong in front of men but also not being so weak that men would find her boring.After chatting for a while, knowing Alice wasn't too bad at golf, Mr. Peter Desmond's friends suggested playing a round with her. With Mr. Peter Desmond's agreement, Alice temporarily stepped back, changed into golf attire, and her radiant and graceful figure became even more apparent."Chairman Desmond is truly fortunate." One of his friends who didn't go to play teasingly said, "You can go out of the living room and into the bedroom."It couldn't be denied that initially, Mr. Peter Desmond was attracted to Alice because of her youth and beauty and decent education and background. He understood that when men socialized, especially during important events, they needed a companion with a "wife" status by their side. That's why he married her.Mr
In the evening, of course, Chef On took charge of the dinner. Cherry Desmond was by his side, laughing and offering to help. The warm and sweet scene made it evident to anyone how their feelings were progressing.Fiona Forger couldn't help but feel a little envious. When the boss returned, she would go to the kitchen and prepare a delicious meal for him to taste.The house boss was always busy with work, and if she asked him to go to the kitchen, it would make things difficult for him. So, she let Cherry take care of these minor matters.After dinner, Cherry Desmond took out the engagement gift and handed it to Fiona Forger, who happily accepted it. Before leaving, Fiona Forger couldn't help but ask, "Are you not going to attend your engagement ceremony?" Cherry would feel a sense of loss if she missed the opportunity to receive her blessings."It's not that I don't want to go, but I'm afraid that old man will hit me with his cane. If he chases me away, it's fine, but if I leave, then
When they held hands and returned to their small villa, Miss Forger's steps were messy.Upon returning home, their first concern naturally revolved around the main bedroom on the upper floor, where they had both been eagerly anticipating their time together. They spent the whole afternoon passionately, indulging in each other's company, locking themselves in the room and not wanting to leave. If not for Puddy knocking on the door, they would still sleep soundly, not wanting to wake up.They had planned to prepare a delicious meal to surprise the boss but were exhausted. They had to rely on the mansion's kitchen in the evening to deliver their food."It's your fault." Miss Forger drank her soup and gave a satisfied look to the man sitting beside her.It wasn't fair; why did he always put in the effort while she couldn't even lift a finger? She hadn't even had a chance to try on the gift that Cherry had given her and see its effectiveness.But she was already exhausted without it, so ad
Miss Forger was genuinely angry! The father and son's behavior was truly disrespectful! She woke up early to make breakfast for them, wasn't that easy enough? And they dared to act so picky!Upon hearing her criticism and seeing her angry face, Damian Desmond put down his chopsticks, about to say something when Puddy, sitting across from him, gave him an unhappy look and said, "Miss Forger, if you stir-fry the green chilies normally, not as sweet as sugar, maybe Dad and I can reluctantly cooperate and console your delicate soul a bit.""What do you mean?" Miss Forger was initially confused, then picked up a chili with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, only to hurriedly spit it out within two seconds. It was too spicy!It turned out that earlier, after dismissing the staff, she absentmindedly mistook salt for sugar and put it in. No wonder someone like the boss, who was never picky about food, couldn't eat it because the taste was bizarre.How could anyone swallow that? She had i
Damian Desmond decided to include the project that Kellan Lutz proposed as one of the year's five essential categories for the Desmond Group. He requested that Kellan Lutz be in charge of this category because he was the one who came up with the idea.Of course, participating in the Desmond Group's projects meant Kellan Lutz had to give up his university job and officially join the company. This was a challenging decision.After conveying his request to Kellan Lutz, Damian continued, "If Mr. On doesn't want to resign, you can think about it a little more. If this category is not included in the Desmond Group, I can invest personally, but it won't have the same significance as originally intended."Due to the stubbornness of the patriarch, it would undoubtedly be challenging for Cherry and a university professor without any achievements to get married. If he invested in this project, the recognition would still go to the university. However, if it were included in the research categori
A bunch of troubles in the house had been neatly resolved, even though it lacked money, which was Jacky Forger's shortage, no one came to pressure her to pay, and she could take her time to do it. Logically speaking, she should feel relieved, but that wasn't the case. She didn't feel relieved at all! How could she feel relaxed? On the surface, it seemed like it had ended between her and him, but in reality, because she repaid the debt, their relationship was still entangled like an invisible thread that couldn't be unraveled.In this life, there was only the fear of being unable to erase it. Lost in thought, the meeting room door suddenly opened, and she raised her head, facing a pair of cold and familiar eyes...In that instant, she felt numb, unable to move. Jacky Forger didn't expect a small assistant like her to appear in such an important meeting. As he touched her clear eyes, in just a blink, he took the initiative to move away, not lingering on his much thinner face for more tha
