At the Foster family estate, Ruby was playing with her new pet cat when Regina suddenly barged in, looking all disheveled. It gave Ruby a huge fright.Ruby frowned a little, a look of disdain discreetly flashing across her eyes. "Why do you look like that? How improper."Regina felt indignant. "Ruby, it's all thanks to Nikita that I ended up like this. She still hasn't given up on Nathaniel, and she even hit me!"Ruby's expression darkened at the mention of Nikita's name. "What did you just say?"Regina showed Ruby the video she took of Nathaniel and Nikita going downstairs one after the other. After Ruby had watched the whole video, her expression turned terrifyingly dark.At noon, when Nikita went downstairs for lunch, Regina blocked her way again. Nikita was exasperated.She was about to say something when Regina spoke up first. "Ruby wants to see you."As soon as Regina finished speaking, Nikita put on a stern expression.Regina led Nikita to a restaurant. Ruby was sitting
With that, Ruby grabbed her purse and left. The butler hastily went after her.Regina's face was as pale as a sheet. She sat where she was for a long time, and she finally moved her fingers after a while. She balled her hand into a fist.The meal ended on an unhappy note.After Regina left the restaurant, she got into her car and made a call. "Let's meet up. I'll visit you at your company."Zachary sat in his office, and his gaze traveled all over Regina's body without restraint. It was seriously off-putting.He was about to touch Regina with his hand when she suddenly spoke up. "I wonder if you've missed Ms. Shea, Mr. Fletcher."According to what she knew, Zachary had coveted Nikita for a long time.Robin Group had recently been planning to enter the jewelry industry, and they had partnered up with Gray Group. Mason was away on a business trip, so Nikita was the one handling the important business.There was a dinner appointment between Robin Group and Gray Group that night, b
Zachary held a position higher than the original person in charge, so the employees from Gray Group didn't dare offend him.Fortunately, the two male colleagues from the marketing department, who had attended the appointment with Nikita, were great drinkers. They were the ones handling the toasts throughout the meeting, so Nikita didn't touch the alcohol.Both parties were in an animated discussion. They were about to finalize and sign the contract when Zachary poured out a glass of wine and nudged it in Nikita's direction."Are you looking down on me, Ms. Shea? I didn't see you offering me a toast tonight. Do you still want the contract signed or not?"When he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Nikita.The employees from Gray Group were extra anxious. They had drunk a lot of wine tonight, so if the contract was ruined by Nikita's hand, they would go crazy in anger.The men from the marketing department glanced nervously at Nikita. Nikita calmly raised her glass and sa
When Zachary saw Nikita grabbing her phone to call for help, he raised his hand and slapped her phone away. Then, he pinned her onto the couch and reached out to tug at her clothes.Nikita began struggling, but Zachary had a huge physique, and she couldn't quite catch her breath as he weighed upon her. She was no match for him in terms of strength, either.As the drug began to take effect, Nikita felt like all her energy was sucked out of her body. She began to struggle more feebly.Suddenly, the call went through on her phone, which had fallen onto the floor. Nathaniel's voice rang out."Hello?"After waiting for a few seconds, Nathaniel still hadn't heard Nikita's voice. He glanced at the screen in confusion as he called again, "Nikita? What are you trying to do?"Suddenly, Nikita's slightly distant voice rang out on the other end of the line. She sounded resistant."Let go of me! You jerk! Let go!"Feeling annoyed, Zachary slapped Nikita across the face."Why even bother sh
Nikita Shea pushed open the door to the presidential suite. It was dark inside, so she reached out to turn on the lights. Before she could do so, a man wrapped his arm around her waist and pinned her to the wall.Amidst the darkness, the only thing she could feel was the warmth of the hand on her waist. It was so fiery that it was as if the air would combust from the heat.Nathaniel Foster had been away on a business trip for half a month. It looked like she would be in for a rough ride that night.He pressed his lips to hers, taking her breath away. She rested her arms by his neck, unable to breathe. When her legs were about to give out on her, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist.Nathaniel didn't even bother taking her to the bed. He pinned her down and had his way with her right then and there. When they were done, he carried her to the bathroom. Her mind was in a mess from the lust and passion. It was only when the water from the showerhead trickled down on he
Regina stood there for a while, looking taken aback. Ultimately, she didn't do anything other than repeat, "I'm sorry…"Nikita looked at her calmly before sighing softly. Then, she said, "You don't have to piss around your territory like this. There's no competition between us."Her attitude was calm and aloof, but Regina still felt like she'd been seen through. She paled and stammered, "N-No, it's not like that. You've really got the wrong idea…"Nikita wasn't in the mood to listen anymore. Her fingers flew over the keyboard before she handed Regina some papers. "You can go back to your desk and check your email for the tasks I've assigned you. The necessary information is here. You can email me if you have any questions."Regina took the papers and flipped through them. Then, she looked up, her expression distressed.Nikita frowned. "Is anything wrong?""Ms. Shea, I…" Regina seemed to be frightened by her tone. She lowered her head, looking a little ashamed. "Can you teach me h
Nikita turned around as surprise flitted past her eyes. It was Regina and Nathaniel.Regina cheerily bounded over to Ruby and linked arms with her affectionately. She smiled and said, "Sorry, Ruby. I don't have much money because I've just graduated this year, and I've been too busy to buy you anything."All I can do is give you a scarf that I knitted. Once I get my salary, I'll definitely make it up to you. Is that okay?"The ice in Ruby's eyes melted away as she smiled and said dotingly, "Oh, you. I'm happy enough that you're here. To think you knitted me a scarf! The day Nathaniel learns to treat me like you do will be the happiest day of my life."There was a clear sense of affection in her words that one would only appear when she was around friends and family.Nikita frowned. She had a general understanding of the Foster family's friends and family, but she couldn't recall any of them having Lane as a last name.Regina also dressed quite plainly in daily life. Even today, s
Nikita didn't understand what exactly Nathaniel wanted her to do. She clenched her fists tightly, ultimately unable to hold herself back as she asked, "Did you consider my situation when making that decision?"She couldn't keep her voice from trembling as bitterness spread through her. Did everything she'd done over the past three years mean nothing to him? Was she only worthy of being a stepping stone for Regina in his eyes?Nathaniel's gaze turned frosty. "Don't push me. You know very well what you should and shouldn't do."Nikita fell silent. After a while, she smiled self-deprecatingly. "Of course."She'd expected too much. Nathaniel had always known where to draw the line with everything. She was a fool for allowing herself to fall into his trap.She returned to the secretariat department and saw her colleagues chatting and gossiping cheerily about when Nathaniel and Regina would make things official. After all, judging from the current situation, Regina was the only person
