"Sorry, I already have plans." Waverly straightforwardly refused. "I won't take no for an answer. Otherwise, something will happen to you." Joseph hinted. After saying that, he hung up the phone, signaling Joshua to drive away. Waverly put her mobile phone aside irritably. Joseph was still fooling around with a few women with ease. He was not worried about the consequences at all. Waverly had planned to look into some company registration's matters and not cook for Joseph, but he definitely wouldn't let her go so easily. She couldn't help but feel annoyed to the bone. He already had Yasmine. Why would he keep pestering her? "Waverly, come to my office," Yasmine shouted. Waverly took a deep breath and walked towards the door with a notebook in her arms. Judie stretched out her leg sneakily, hoping to trip Waverly. Waverly noticed her extended foot but pretended not to see it. She went around it instead. "What a nasty pers
It was not that Waverly didn't remember, but she just didn't believe it at all. Waverly and Joseph were enemies who hated each other. Whenever they were together, she felt like the world was spinning backwards; everything felt wrong. There was no way in hell she was going to wait for him to become the President, and to think that she would have to wait for him and Yasmine to get a divorce too... No, she would not let him be the President. She would do everything she could to stop him. "I remember it now," Waverly answered weakly. "From now on, don't just remember it. Make sure that it's etched into your brain forever. Do you hear me?" Joseph scolded fiercely, and his tone carried with it a threatening nature. "I'm not deaf," Waverly complained. Joseph's gaze turned even more vicious as he locked his gaze onto her. "This is just great. You have yet to put your arrogance away." Joseph turned around and walked upstairs. Waverly held his arm
Waverly realized that it was Qianna. Ever since she made peace with Lenold, she had not made an appearance for a very long time. Waverly was surprised to see her. "What's the matter?" Waverly asked coldly. "Thomson came to me and asked me to introduce someone to you. I'll be holding a banquet at my place tonight. You should come. However, don't flirt with Lenold again. Otherwise, you'd better watch out," Qianna warned. Waverly had already thought it through - the matter of finding a partner. She could only find someone who was from the Harington family. Only then would she have the ability to go against Joseph. The Harington and Mccarthy family didn't get along well with each other. Plus, her status and background were not something that could be proud of, so she had to let go of her other ideas for now. "Thank you for your kindness, Qianna, but there is no need for that," Waverly rejected her invitation. Qianna raised her eyebrows and looked a
"How long do we have to wait until we can eat?" Joseph changed the subject. "Ten more minutes," Waverly answered. He turned around and went out of the kitchen without saying another word. Waverly let out a sigh of relief. She quickly held onto the sink, supporting herself as she rested for a while; her legs had gone weak like jelly during their stressful exchange. After a short rest, she continued cooking. Ten minutes later, Waverly went out and saw Joseph sitting on the sofa with his phone in his hand, typing a message with his head down. "It's time to eat," Waverly shouted at him. Just then, Hayley came rushing through the door with a bottle of wine in hand. She felt a little surprised to sense that the atmosphere between them was not as negatively-charged or as tense as it was before. As Hayley didn't want to eat with Joseph, she went to the kitchen without greeting him. "Madam, are you all right?" Waverly nodded. "You should sta
Wow. This guy had always been quite the devil since he was a child. "The memory is vague, but yes, I vaguely remember that. Why?" Waverly asked, her gaze lowered. "There was something along the lines of: In one's life, without failure, he would not be as happy about the success he achieved. Without sadness, he would not be able to appreciate the joys. Life wouldn't be complete without a few terrible incidents. After all, only in the darkness can one see the stars." Waverly had long forgotten about this passage. "It sounds like younger me had quite the literary skills." "That's why it has nothing to do with my taste. Up until now, I don't think I've ever experienced any failure, nor sorrow. Though I do want to do a few horrible things, and you are one of them," Joseph admitted with a smile. Waverly looked at his big, presumptuous smile and felt that he was too arrogant for his own good. He was so conceited that it drove people mad. "Coinci
She loved the great man with such care and humility. There were many things that she wanted to know, such as Yazoo's secret, the reason why Bellamy She closed her eyes and tears started to stream down her face. Hayley felt sorry for her and sat opposite Waverly, "We don't need to be strong anymore. Let's leave everything to the President. As long as we live life as he has arranged, everything will be okay. It will be easier for him and us too ." Waverly opened her eyes and looked at Hayley, "A long time ago, I had a friend. She was really beautiful, lively, cheerful, and helpful. She got along with others well. When we were still in high school, she caught the attention of a successful man. He arranged a prestigious university and an exceptional job for her. Every month, he gave her enough money to squander. When she was in college, she married this man. Guess what happened in the end?" "What happened?" Hayley asked. "Two years later, the man found a
Bellamy answered the phone call. He smiled and said, "Have you eaten yet? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be a little busy these days, right?" "I've eaten. Fortunately, I am only an assistant. I don't need to do most of the work. No matter the circumstances, I have indeed been the wife of the President for five years. I have done plenty of business receptions with you and those events are still easy for me till this day." Waverly said with a smile. "That's good. I thought you were going to draw comics. I am still waiting to see your published comics too," Bellamy said in a breeze. "Bell, I have something to tell you. I don't want to carry out any business receptions anymore when you come here," she returned to the topic at hand. Bellamy withdrew his smiling face and furrowed his brows. There was a sharp glint in his eyes as he asked, "Why? Are they making things difficult for you?" "I've already thought about it. If I come out to welcome you, there wi
Yasmine paused, "Who told you that I have found a chef?" "Then, can you swear that you haven't found ONE?" Waverly asked in return. "If you can't find one, then it'll be up to me to do so instead. I am the person-in-charge of this business reception after all," Yasmine said in a self-righteous manner. "Before I could even start looking, you already found someone. Are you so sure that I won't be able to find a chef, or have you already made up your mind to prevent me from finding him?" Waverly asked directly. "I don't know what you're talking about. Besides, should this be the attitude you have when you talk to a superior? Or do you think that you are still the President's wife?" Yasmine snapped angrily. "You don't know what I'm talking about? Then, I will explain it to you. Since you have found the chef, you don't need me to do anything else. No matter what objective you have, I advise you to spend your time and efforts elsewhere. Otherwise, you will becom
