Falling for My Contract Lover "I'll do my best"
Ronald Richardson sat beside Murray, feigning nonchalance as he glanced to his left, where Haley Bertie was asking Jean Harry if she wanted some cake.Jean agreed, and Haley stood to fetch a slice from the table. Just as his hand reached for a piece of red velvet cake, Ronald abruptly stood up, stretched out his arm, and snatched the slice Haley was eyeing.In front of everyone, he offered it to Emily, "Try this? The best cake in Sandviken."Emily internally scoffed at his childishness but accepted the cake without a change in expression. Having only eaten lunch that day, she was famished and didn't care whose cake it was.Besides, she was a stranger to this group and unlikely to cross paths with them again, so she wasn't bothered.She tasted the cake, finding it delightfully soft and sweet but not cloying, perhaps the best red velvet she'd ever had.Undeterred by Ronald's public slight, Haley Bertie even smiled at Emily, asking warmly, "Do you like it?"Emily's eyes widened in surpri
Falling for My Contract Lover "Damn it, this is pointless!"
Ronald Richardson fumed inwardly, his shots shaky, further marred by the poor angles of his initial attempts. After several strokes, the triangle formation remained unbroken."Damn it!" He cursed under his breath, shedding his carefree and rakish demeanor to focus on finding the right angle.With a series of sharp and precise shots, "thud, thud, thud," Jean stood firm and unshaken.Ronald was pleased. Straightening up, he began calculating: just three more shots and victory was his.Murray Gibson, rusty from years without play, was no match for him, and Haley Bertie, barely able to hold a cue, was not worth considering.This game was as good as won.A confident smile spread across his face. With two more strokes, only two balls remained under the wooden plank. One final shot and the game would be over.Bending over for his shot, Jean's foot shifted slightly, disrupting the balance. The board tilted, and she tumbled off the pool table.Fortunately, Haley Bertie, standing by, caught Jea
Falling for My Contract Lover "I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should"
Suppressing the tumultuous anger brewing within her, Emily steadied her emotion.Having spent a year by Murray's side, she had studied ways to appeal to him. Although most attempts backfired, there was one tactic that never failed: showing vulnerability.Emily lowered her gaze to compose herself, then looked up again with a façade of frailty and helplessness, her doe-like eyes pleadingly fixed on him.Murray let out a faint chuckle, discarded his cigarette, and with three swift strokes, Emily found herself safely on the table. The night's victor was Murray.The crowd, led by Beau Acheson, began to cheer. "Gibson is unbeatable in everything he does, a source of envy for ordinary folks."Baird Brooke added fuel to the fire, "Murray has to treat us to late-night snacks tonight."Murray, discarding his cue, nonchalantly agreed, "Whatever."
Falling for My Contract Lover "I've never seen you take this much interest in anyone"
Emily's blunt tone caught Stacey off guard. "Go ahead," she urged, perplexed.Emily didn't mince words. "Focus on yourself and mind your own business, thank you."Stacey, accustomed to a life of smooth sailing and rarely hearing a harsh word, was taken aback by such a direct rebuke from a younger woman, especially when she believed she was offering well-intended advice.Caught off balance, Stacey remained silent, relieved when a car horn indicated Murray's arrival.Without another word, Stacey headed straight for the car, following Emily.Once in the car, Emily instinctively sat in the back seat while Stacey took the front passenger seat.Upon noticing Stacey's sullen demeanor, Murray inquired, "Upset about waiting?"Stacey forced a smile. "What kept you so long?"As Murray maneuvered the car, he replied, "Had to take
Falling for My Contract Lover "Murray's got a sweetheart?"
Murray chuckled, "Just by asking one extra question, how does that mean I'm interested?"Stacey laughed along, "I know you asked because of Ronald."Murray cleared his throat, neither confirming nor denying.Stacey, as if struck by a sudden thought, perked up. "Do you think Ronald is after this girl because she reminds him of Jean from the past?"Murray stared ahead, his expression unreadable. "Not sure."Stacey turned to him, her gaze laden with meaning. "Do men always fancy girls in their early twenties?"Murray's lips curled slightly. "Not necessarily. It depends on the person. A woman's allure isn't tied to her age."Stacey was pleased with his response, affectionately brushing her hand against his handsome cheek.Seizing the moment, she asked a question that had lingered on her mind for a long time. "Why haven't you shown any sign since I returned? What are you waiting for?"Murray was briefly taken aback, then smil
Falling for My Contract Lover " It's just a diversion"
Forced into another bath, Emily observed a stark change in Murray. Not only had his demeanor shifted dramatically from just moments before, but he was also efficiently handling work emails while seated on the sofa.Murray asked, "Can I use your phone?"Busy loading clothes into the dryer, Emily nodded towards the bedroom with her chin. "It's on the bed. You can get it yourself."Rising, Murray headed to the bedroom. Emily tossed his clothes, save for the coat needing dry cleaning, in the washing machine. Now, he was just wrapped in a towel.Moonlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a glow on his back. His figure was alluring.Emily couldn't help but admire the contours of his back and the indentation at the base of his spine, thinking to herself how unfairly blessed he was by nature.It felt unjust, but what was the use of being upset with fate?Nonetheless, Emily fetched Murray's clothes from the dryer and took
Falling for My Contract Lover "Hello, who is this?"
Emily's eyelids drooped, a single tear tracing down her cheek, shimmering briefly before falling to the floor.Murray watched the tear disappear into the darkness, unmoved.He leaned forward to grab Emily's phone, unlocked it in front of her with a few taps, then tossed it back onto the table, his voice cool and detached, "I really dislike these little games of yours!"Realization dawned on Emily as she saw the images of the man and woman in the photo album. In her haste to lock the screen, the interface had stopped on the photo of Stacey and the man at the restaurant.Murray had stumbled upon these photos using her phone and assumed she was scheming, intentionally trying to slander Stacey.Understanding the reason behind his anger, Emily found herself regaining composure.She laughed, her voice even colder than Murray's, "Did I take the phone and show it to you myself?"Murray didn't respond, just stared at her.Emily co
Falling for My Contract Lover "Who's the lucky guy?"
"Can't you even recognize your boyfriend's voice?" came Ronald Richardson's passive voice over the phone."Fuck off, asshole."Emily hung up the phone, wishing to smash the screen. Ronald was like a plaster that, once applied, was impossible to shake off.No sooner had she hung up than the phone rang again. She didn't answer, staring blankly at it.Suddenly, she remembered what Murray had said to her last night. He had mentioned he didn't mind sharing her with Ronald Richardson.As she thought about it, a smile crept across her face, like a rose dipped in poison, beautiful on the outside but filled with deadly venom.The phone kept ringing stubbornly, and Emily finally answered."Don't hang up; I need to talk to you," Ronald Richardson said, probably fearing she'd cut him off again. His tone was much more serious."Speak." Emily stirred the boiling noodle soup with her chopsticks."Where are you now?""At a friend
