Chloe paused with her fork halfway in the air and shook her head after thinking for a moment, "I don't remember. In a moment of emergency, I didn't have the time to study its details.""Oh... why didn't you take a picture of it with your phone?" Flora wailed softly. Oh my God! Finally, she had a chance to see it, and this woman insisted it was a snake, making her doubt whether Kevin was one of the brothers of the Smith Family!"Take a picture? I'm lucky to have come back alive!" Chloe exclaimed with lingering fear. "Darling, do you know Kevin's identity? Heaven help me, if I get fired tomorrow, I won't let you off the hook!""What identity? Isn't he just an assistant in the company?" Flora asked cautiously. As far as she knew, he was just an assistant!"Just an assistant would have been fine, but Mark informed me that that man was the CEO who took office in the company three years ago! Oh my goodness! This is a big mess!" Chloe panicked at the thought.Flora was shocked, staring at he
"Oh, um... she never mentioned it. She suddenly moved to Germany. Maybe she had been planning it for a while but just didn't tell us," Mrs. Smith chuckled. After speaking, she lowered her gaze slightly, avoiding Maxwell's piercing gaze.She felt that it wasn't necessary to tell Maxwell about this question. It wouldn't have any meaning even if she did!"Alright, you should go out early. We'll talk again tonight," Mrs. Smith urged, trying to steer the conversation away from this topic, as she didn't want Maxwell to continue asking.Maxwell had his doubts, but seeing that Mrs. Smith seemed unwilling to discuss the topic further, he didn't press on. He lightly nodded and said, "Then I'll go out first." After speaking, he turned and walked towards the door. Chiyoko, who had been excited all along, hurriedly caught up. It was rare for Maxwell to agree to take her out, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity!Sitting in the car, Maxwell controlled the vehicle expressionlessly. He agreed
After all, he was a handsome man, and Flora felt embarrassed to look at him. Moreover, that face was once something she despised deeply, and looking at it would only bring up painful memories. She lowered her head, holding the documents, preparing to leave.As she had just taken a few steps, Kevin's calm voice suddenly came from behind, "Bring me a glass of water.""Oh, okay," Flora responded professionally, turning back to the water dispenser, pouring a glass of cold water, and walking over to him. Staring at his strong back, she suddenly wanted to see clearly, what kind of tattoo was hidden beneath the blue shirt. Was it as Chloe said, a snake?While Kevin's personality was somewhere between Maxwell and Oliver, that touch of elegance was something she could only see in Oliver. She had never seen Maxwell carry himself elegantly!"Miss Flora, what are you daydreaming about?" Kevin glanced at her disdainfully, mockingly. In front of him, she seemed to enjoy daydreaming, was it just bec
Flora hesitated for a moment, but obediently turned around and stared at him, "Mr. Kevin, is there something else you need?"This man was too wicked and dangerous, she couldn't stay any longer. Why were men with such faces so despicable? She really couldn't understand!Kevin had already regained his usual charming smile and said, "I was just joking with you earlier, Miss Flora. Don't take it to heart."Now it was his turn to set the rules of the game. He didn't want to scare away this timid rabbit with a dirty mind. After all, who would play with him then?!Upon hearing this, Flora felt a bit relieved and giggled, "Uh...hah, I know you were just joking, so I won't take it to heart.""That's good. Go and attend to your tasks now. Be downstairs at ten o'clock sharp, and accompany me somewhere," Kevin instructed seriously.However, Flora was shocked and blurted out, "Accompany you, Mr. Kevin?" Did she hear him correctly?"Is there a problem? My personal assistant?" Kevin looked at her wi
Maxwell Smith?! It turned out to be Maxwell. This time, she was certain that she hadn't mistaken him. This familiar yet unfamiliar, cruel yet bloodthirsty man! Why was it him? Kevin... Is he really just Kevin? But why would he plot against her? Intentionally leading her to willingly put herself in front of this man she was desperately trying to avoid? As soon as Maxwell heard that familiar voice, a hint of surprise flashed through his mind. He quickly opened the door and realized that it was indeed her! What were the odds of such a coincidence? A sneer appeared on his handsome face as he mocked, "Miss Flora, what a coincidence! Everyone is looking for you." Flora screamed, raised the gift box in her hand, and viciously threw it at his face before turning around and running. Maxwell was too preoccupied with his surprise and mockery, completely unaware that she would suddenly do this. He staggered backward, urgently trying to dodge to the side. The gift box grazed his eyebrow, causi
Flora instinctively leaned back and stared at him, asking in a daze, "What do you want to do for me?" His smile looked so unreal! It made her feel uneasy. "I will avenge you," Kevin glanced at the Sunshine Hotel building and said. Flora looked at him in surprise, observing him. He wanted to avenge her? Was he this kind-hearted? "How?" she asked curiously. What kind of trick was he playing again? "Kill him!" Kevin said those words while keeping a smile on his face, as if killing someone was a trivial matter, one that didn't even warrant blinking an eye. "Kill him?" Flora asked, dumbfounded, unable to grasp the concept behind those words for a moment. It wasn't until Kevin nodded that she finally reacted, but she didn't answer him. Kevin opened his specially designed notebook and began effortlessly typing away with his ten fingers. Flora leaned against the car door, staring at him with a mixture of fear and disbelief. He was going to help her kill Maxwell? She should be happy about
"Damn it! You're such a troublemaker!" Maxwell muttered under his breath as he dragged the terrified Flora towards the nearest exit. He should have let her go and fend for herself, but his grip on her hand remained firm, unable to let go. Did he not want her to die? He didn't even care that she might drag him down! If something happened to him today, it would be because of her inexplicably complex feelings! "Where is the emergency exit?" Maxwell asked coldly. Flora, who had a moment of clarity upon hearing those words, pointed in another direction and said, "Over there, follow me." She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the direction of the emergency exit. However, instead of leading him to the safety door, Flora led him into the employees' break room. Several lazy employees were startled by their intrusion. Before they could utter a word of complaint, their attention was captivated by the astonishingly handsome Maxwell, their faces filled with both surprise and admiration. M
"Well, then... Why did you come to the 30th floor?" Flora asked in astonishment. Did he know that someone wanted to kill him? Then didn't she just do something incredibly stupid? And she even courageously came out to save him. Oh my god!"I just came up to show my face, considering the enthusiastic invitation from those pesky Japanese. Who knew..." he laughed, who knew she would come in for no reason and ruin his whole plan! He should have been angry, but there was something unexpected that made him even more delighted, and that was finally seeing this audacious woman."Why... didn't you say it earlier?" Flora murmured, her face full of frustration. Kevin! That damn bastard! It was because of him, not his nonsense, that she wouldn't have come back!"What? Having regrets now?" Maxwell took a step forward, one hand gripping her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace, closely examining her tearful face.Flora nodded, "I regret it!" She truly regretted it, she was filled with remorse
