The light in Christian’s eyes dimmed, and he went to the study as usual as if nothing had happened.He closed the door, loosened his tie, neatly rolled up his cuffs, sat in the leather chair, and rubbed his eyebrows.He had always been hacking his way through difficulties and could sweep away all obstacles. He had never felt tired before, but when the servant had told him that Jessica would not come back, he had suddenly felt exhausted for no reason.He hadn’t talked with her for only two days, but he missed her very much. He just couldn’t get her off his mind.Before they got married, he had taken his office as his home. This place used to be so quiet and cold that it hadn’t looked like a home at all.But after Jessica had become the hostess of the family, Christian felt something was missing every time he couldn’t come back home, and sometimes, he even felt a little guilty.She hadn’t been home for days on end, and he felt hollow as if his heart were hanging in the air, swaying
Jessica had thought it was just an ordinary party, but it turned out to be held in a very private resort.She vaguely felt that something was wrong. The consumers who came here were all high-end people. She thought they might have invited not only the contestants and staff to the party today, but also...But she didn't think too much. She just wanted to relax. Before she reached the party, she saw Alice coming from a fork ahead."What a coincidence!" Alice said, "Why are you here?""The program group is having a party here," Jessica said bluntly, "Are you here for the party?"Alice raised her eyebrows, "I'm not attending the same party as you. This place is run by my friend. I'm a regular visitor here!""Then, I hope you will have fun tonight."Alice was blocking her way, so Jessica leaned away from her. When she was about to walk away, Alice asked from behind, "Are all the guests in the program group coming?" She wondered if Wade was here..."I have no idea."When she turned
Mr. Weston started to sexually harass her. Jessica suddenly woke up, breaking out of the panic completely. She knew she must find a way to escape!She stood up abruptly, and the two men were startled. But they quickly reached out, intending to pull her down.Jessica took the opportunity to say, "I want to sing!"Before the two men could catch her, she quickly ran to the side of the stage to select songs.The two men behind her looked at each other and laughed presumptuously together. Making sure that she didn't run to the door, they sat back down on the sofa and gave up chasing her.Jessica was trying to buy herself some time.She wanted to figure out what was going on here.She had never seen these two men before, but she knew very well what dirty purpose they had.Mr. Weston was drunk, yelling, "How lucky we are to be able to hear Jessica sing!"Ignoring what he said, Jessica pretended to sway to the melody, but her eyes were looking around.All these contestants here with
"Oh, it's Miss Alice!" Weston loosened his grip on Jessica's waist.Alice still smiled as if she hadn't seen Jessica. Alice walked forward, picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Weston. Weston took it in a hurry.Also, Alice picked up another glass of wine. "Mr. Weston, haven't seen you for a long time. Last time, my father took me to have meal with you! Cheers!"Then Alice drank the glass of wine in one gulp."Ha ha, Miss Alice is so sassy!"A smile flashed through Alice's eyes. She curled her lips with a smile, "Mr. Weston, you also need drink the glass of wine in one gulp."Weston raised his hand and gulped the wine down. At that moment, a man contained Jessica and dragged her to sit beside Alice and Weston.Alice reached out to pick up a full glass of wine on the table and put it in front of Weston. Then she continued to drink.Weston glanced at it. A trace of embarrassment flashed through his eyes. He hid his embarrassment quickly. He took the glass but put it on the
Jessica and Alice retreated to the door as they pretended to fight with each other. Jessica remembered that Alice had said this place was owned by one of her friends, so she pinned her hope on Alice, believing she could open the door.But suddenly, Jessica’s waist was grabbed by Mr. Weston from behind."Miss Bailey, I’d like to apologize on behalf of Jessica. Please wash the clothes yourself. Jessica can't go! She must stay!""Miss Bailey, though you came here uninvited, if you don’t want to go, we can have fun together!"Mr. Weston was still acting greasy. He gave a smirk as if he had seen them through but decided not to expose their plan. Jessica kept struggling, but he pulled her back into his arms.His big face approached Jessica with disgusting and foul breath.Jessica raised her hand and slapped him!Mr. Weston glared at her furiously, "How dare you!"He yelled that he would beat Jessica up. Jessica held Alice’s hand, and they stepped back together. They were definitely n
Jessica turned around. It was Christian! "Why are you here?" She asked in a low voice. "Are you okay?" Christian did not answer her question but asked back with concern. "Who the hell are you? How dare you mess with me!" The man who was beaten covered his mouth and rolled on the ground. Since his face was swollen, his speech was slurred. He was still screaming, but he shut up immediately when he looked up and saw who was standing beside Jessica. He spoke haltingly on his knees, “Mr... Mr. Maddox..." "I did not know that you were also playing here. I am so sorry for accidentally annoying your female companion..." the man explained in a panic and stammered from nervousness unconsciously. Christian did not have time to bother with this man. He angrily shouted, “Get out!" Christian’s voice was so sharp that the man was frightened. “Okay. Okay. I will get out right now..." He ran away in a flash in case the power came
Jessica understood Christian's hint. He once said that her father's death might be related to a foreign consortium...Christian had explained this to her several times. She might be able to believe him..."Don't you think nonsense! Leave everything to me." Christian embraced her, and his voice reassured her.They snuggled together-She had avoided him for days, and the long-lost sweet feeling rushed to her heart.In the dull moonlight, Jessica gently closed her eyes and allowed herself to relax in his arms.Christian stroked her back with his large palm. The warmth of his hands provided a steady stream of energy to her body. All this energy was proof that he cared for her-"I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt..." She smiled."Give me the benefit of the doubt?" Christian suddenly put his head against hers, gently.Jessica turned her head slightly to look back. His eyes reflected in her eyes, as if they were shining stars with the outline of her face faintly reflected in them
"But why did you come here?" Jessica asked suspiciously.Alice frowned, "I just want to know who is coming today!"She met Jessica outside the box today and heard her say that the crew of the girl group show was gathering here, so Alice wanted to know if Wade was coming.She later asked her friend to help check and found that Wade didn't seem to be there, but Alice was reluctant and went in to find out for herself."I happened to see that the party wasn't as simple as you said. I just came to relax." Alice said casually.Jessica didn't think much of it. She thought Alice was concerned about who was coming to play and was looking out for her future rival of girl group show, but didn't think of Wade."How do you know I'm not talking about relaxing in that way?" Jessica asked.Alice rolled her eyes at her, "Although I don't like you, I'm not so far gone as to misunderstand your character."At that time, Jessica went on stage barefoot, and she was not afraid of being misunderstood
