The wedding came to a complete end.The departing guests, still lingering with the memory of the extravagant wedding just now, couldn't help but continue their discussions, with some gossiping specifically about Britney.Britney and Karsyn didn't want to listen to gossip as they walked out of the Platinum Hotel.As Britney stepped out of the hotel door, pink and yellow rose petals filled the air, falling slowly from the sky like snowflakes. Instantly, a refreshing floral scent filled the air.Britney looked a bit stunned...She stretched out her hand, took a piece of delicate and dripping flower petal, and laid it quietly in her palm...While everyone was surprised and discussing, two drones appeared in the sky, trailing two red banners."Britney""I love you."At this moment, an elegant and tall figure emerged from behind a nearby marble pillar and walked straight towards Britney.With a large bouquet of roses in hand, he knelt down on one knee, his voice deep and filled with tendern
Although she was already past the age for falling in love, Britney still couldn't exclude these feelings.Britney was taken to a super-sized pink hot air balloon and, with the help of the staff, she and Manuel boarded the balloon and slowly ascended into the sky.Looking at every blade of grass and every object on the ground, slowly shrinking, everything seemed to disappear except for them.Facing Manuel alone, Britney felt a sudden panic and a hint of shyness in her heart."Because time was tight, so many things were arranged by them. But they were all my ideas... Is it a bit childish?" Manuel's usually cold face showed a rare hint of nervousness.Actually, these should have happened twenty years ago. Unfortunately... it was twenty years too late.Britney's exquisite features brought a slight smile to her face. It was unexpected to see that Manuel, who had previously left a cold and distant impression on people, had such a side."I have never been in a relationship before, but I will
Quinten's words made Britney furrow her brows and stop the action of picking up the food."Manuel used to be such an outstanding person at Goldmoor. Although I didn't have much interaction with him, just a few encounters made me realize that he was not ordinary! I even thought he would take over the Castro family business in the future, but I didn't expect him to suddenly go to the training area!"Quinten seemed lost in memories, his face becoming slightly solemn, as he spoke in a deliberate manner."Dad, do you mean to say that his going to the training area wasn't so simple?" Britney knew very little about these matters, after all, in the past, her eyes were only on Conrad.Quinten nodded.“Dad, if Manuel really is that exceptional and becomes the son-in-law of the Hammond family, we won’t be at a loss!” Britney picked up a piece of crispy duck and handed it to her father. “If you really have concerns, you can help me assess the situation when both families meet the day after tomorr
Such a straightforward and bold confession...Britney's heart stirred a ripple.Suddenly, her phone rang.Britney picked up the phone,“Britney, you’ve hit the jackpot, haven’t you? I thought a man like Manuel wouldn’t understand anything about romance, but it turns out he’s not at all hesitant in pursuing women!”The corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards, Britney smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect it either.""What a domineering CEO! I envy you so much!" Karsyn's eyes were filled with hearts. "Where are you? Do you want to come out for a shopping trip?"“I’m on my way to work at the Hammond Group.”"Do you have to be so boring? The Miss of the Hammond family, still has to go to work?”Seeing the familiar grand buildings outside the car window, Britney said, "Karsyn, I got to go ! Just come pick me up after work."By the time Karsyn finished speaking, the vehicle had already stopped at the door.Before getting off the car, Britney said to Bryant, "You don't have to wait
Britney had stayed up until the early hours to write this and was naturally clear about it."Chairman, rather than sticking to the rules, it is better to take risks and start anew."Indeed, if Britney's plan could succeed, the Hammond Group would take a big step forward and overcome the bottleneck it has been facing for so long. However, if it failed, it would also bring certain crisis to the Hammond Group!Quinten pondered for a moment and closed the folder. He skillfully pressed the speed dial and said, "Malia! Notify all department vice managers and above positions, we will hold a meeting in ten minutes sharp!"Hanging up the phone, Quinten handed the proposal back to Britney, saying, "You get ready!"Britney nodded, knowing that her father had agreed to her plan, and began to prepare for what lay ahead.Ten minutes later, all managers and above positions of the Hammond Group gathered in the conference room.Britney followed Quinten inside and went straight to the furthest position
"Yes, Chairman!"“Good. Then we will temporarily establish the Marketing Department Group B, with Britney as the group leader. You can choose staff from the company above the manager level as you see fit, primarily to execute and complete this project. As for the existing Marketing Department, it will be Group A, and Group B will need their full support unconditionally.”"Yes!" Kyson Leonard, the former deputy director of the Marketing Department, stood up and responded.Everyone clearly felt the chairman's favoritism, and although other employees had objections, they dared not speak up."Alright, let's adjourn!" Quinten announced, and then called out to Britney, who was packing up, "You stay!"Britney finished packing her things and walked up to Quinten."Chairman!""No one is here now; you can still call me Dad!" Quinten pointed to the lower left position, gesturing for her to sit down."Business is business, and family is family! In the company, you are the chairman, but at home, y
At half past two in the afternoon, the fast food on the table had been sitting there for almost half an hour. Britney crawled out from the pile of files and noticed the meal box; only then did she remember that she hadn't eaten yet.“Ding ding—”Just as she was about to open the packaging to fill her stomach, a chat notification sounded from her computer.Britney busily clicked on the flashing profile picture.'Hugh': Darling, did you look for me?'Britney': Um. With an eye roll.Hugh is Britney's senior, Hugh Donaldson, whom she met while studying abroad. He may seem unreliable when speaking, but he is exceptionally reliable when it comes to doing things.People who don't know him think that he liked her, but in reality, he was like that with everyone.'Hugh': Give me two minutes...Britney’s eye twitched slightly. It was a coincidence that she met this guy, and they often communicated online without meeting in person. She had been worried that Conrad might misunderstand their relati
Most of the shareholders tend to stand on the side of the chairman, after all, the Hammond Group, under Quinten's leadership, has been distributing generous dividends year after year, and the amount has been increasing each year. However, Axel also has his own network within the company, such as Chace Larsen, one of the shareholders, who is a supporter of Axel.Axel took the lead in convening this Board of Directors meeting.Without waiting for Axel's response, Britney continued, "If my proposal is implemented this time, the year-end bonus will increase by at least 30% compared to last year."Some shareholders, upon hearing about the money, had already started calculating how much of the 30% they could get for themselves.But Axel clearly didn't care, as he coldly snorted with an arrogant expression."If it cannot be achieved, then our company will lose a couple hundred million?"Axel's words caused a commotion in the office!A few billion, not just a few million! Those who held fewer
Britney's ears turned red. "Manuel, you are shameless!"He actually wanted to take advantage of her curiosity to satisfy his own desires!No one is more shameless than him!Manuel seemed satisfied with Britney's reaction. The corners of his mouth slightly lifted as he forcefully blocked her with his strong arms, and he attacked with one hand...The sound of a man's voice lingered in her ear."What is a face?"He had long abandoned her when he was with her. Besides, can a face provide him with meat every day?No!What was it used for?His gaze deepened, he lowered his eyes and glanced at her body pressed against his chest. With each rise and fall of her breath, just one look was enough to drive someone crazy.Although both of them were wearing clothes, their posture was ambiguous. Manuel had one hand around Britney, preventing her from escaping, while his other hand was groping her tender flesh around her waist, th
"To be honest, at that time, I was really confused!" Carlos shrugged.At this moment, the boy who had just gone out to fetch water bumped into the door with his body, holding two cups of water in his hands.Specifically, Britney's drink was bought outside.Britney took it and thanked the boy."Carlos, there was no milk tea that Ms. Hammond liked. So I just bought a random cup..." The boy leaned in closer to Carlos's ear, his voice getting quieter as he spoke."It's all good! You don't have to go out and buy it just for me," she heard the boy's voice in the quiet environment, as they were close by.She also knew that in a place where such men were prevalent, it was impossible to have any other options, so she started off by saying plain water.Carlos raised his hand in the air, but he didn't wave it down. "Get out!"Britney looked at the way the two of them interacted and couldn't help but wonder how they ended up together.
Britney lifted her fingers lightly from the computer keyboard, a mocking curve forming at the corner of her mouth.She would look quite attractive if she could use that confidence to work hard. But the key is, what's the use of just boasting about it without actually doing anything?Geovanni, with his unrestrained nature, was only suitable for living under the radiance of his parents and coming to work at the company.Laughing and shaking her head, Britney continued to type on the keyboard.Her patience with Uncle's family was only limited to this point. If they caused any more trouble, she would no longer tolerate it. No matter how much she said, it was useless; the other party needed to know when to stop.Britney's work status was still good for the day. She managed to consolidate the reports submitted by each person before leaving work. She planned to take the remaining work home to work overtime.She did not forget the phone call in the
Mrs. Castro was a kind and gentle woman. She lived in a small house on the outskirts of town. Every morning, she would wake up early and tend to her garden. She loved flowers and took great pride in her beautiful roses. In the afternoons, she would often visit her neighbors and chat with them over a cup of tea. She was well-liked by everyone in the community. Unfortunately, Mrs. Castro passed away last year. Her presence is greatly missed, but her memory lives on in the hearts of those who knew her.Britney had heard this nickname so often that she had become accustomed to it.After saying thank you to Bryant, she entered the office building, wearing high heels.Clock in, take the elevator, go straight to the department floor, walk into her own department, Britney entered the workplace, exuding confidence and composure."Come with me to the office!" Britney stood in Hugh's workspace and said to him."Good!"Hugh responded by folding the alre
Britney applied ointment to herself in the bathroom.Suddenly, the body no longer had the burning pain, but instead gained a cool and comfortable sensation.The pain momentarily eased...Manuel, this man, is truly someone who evokes both love and hate!Britney twisted the ointment cap, turned on the water in the sink, released hot water, and began washing her face and brushing her teeth.I applied skincare products and saw my face in the mirror. I didn't know if it was because Manuel had just made me angry, but my cheeks were still a little red.After leaving the bathroom, Manuel was no longer in the room.As Manuel said, the ointment's effectiveness was indeed quite good. After a few minutes, walking became much easier, and the pain that felt like tearing was no longer present.When Britney was changing clothes, she almost didn't recognize her own body.His whole body was covered in bruises, as if every pore was complai
At this moment, the sound of a text message suddenly came from the phone on the bedside. Before I could reach out to touch it, Manuel pressed down my jade arm.The smooth and tender skin was like the finest silk, with a faint pink hue on top."The light..."Britney, who was pinned down on the bed, slowly opened her lips. Manuel looked at her slightly parted lips, and his eyes sparkled with a radiant and gentle light.In the end, she couldn't really let go of these things.Manuel turned to the side and switched off the dazzling crystal chandelier in the room, leaving only a warm yellow bedside lamp.The atmosphere became even more enchanting, with a hint of ambiguity.The long black wavy hair was spread on the soft bed, with fair and delicate facial features. Her eyes, as black as ink, shimmered with a mesmerizing glow under the warm light. A gentle smile slowly appeared at the corner of her lips, and her eyes were filled with a tender
Diana seemed to be immersed in memories of the past."He actually asked me out, but he didn't mean anything else. We just talked about the past, and he also knew that I was already married and had a happy family with a precious daughter, which made him happy for me. He also kept praising you in front of me, saying that you are more outstanding than me."At this point, a proud smile appeared on Diana's lips."I went... I was almost scared to death! I thought a cheesy plot from a children's book was going to come to life. Turns out, Britney is actually that person's child!"Karsyn couldn't help but interrupt.Britney gritted her teeth and tapped the driver's seat. "What are you saying!""How is that possible? He had been abroad for several years when I got together with Britney's father and had her," Diana patiently explained, without blaming Karsyn for his thoughtless words.Karsyn sighed and patted her chest.Damn it!Th
Outside the luxury boutique, two women left."Baron, I..." Skyler hesitated, unable to speak."Skyler, let's terminate the contract! I can't afford it anymore..." The obese man handed the drink he had bought to Skyler and left without looking back.Skyler stood in place, looking dejectedly as the man walked away, the drink in his hand still warm.The heart felt like it was missing a piece.In this unfamiliar city, it was him who brought himself from the countryside to this city, and now he is also leaving. So what will she do? Go back to the countryside again?Britney and Karsyn exchanged glances, and Karsyn shrugged.They really wanted to watch a play unintentionally.Britney whispered a few words into Karsyn's ear, and Karsyn's eyes lit up. They pulled out a business card from their bag and, together with Britney, walked towards Skyler."Hi!" Karsyn greeted Skyler proactively. "This is Galaxy Entertainment Wayne's cont
Britney had already started surrendering her weapons while accompanying Karsyn to browse through the entire women's clothing stores at Universal Mall, even though they hadn't finished scanning half of them.Finally, Britney was exhausted and dragged Karsyn to a restaurant, intending to take a break and replenish some energy.Karsyn's combat effectiveness was famously good, and she had a fruitful harvest. Britney just picked two pieces of innerwear.Britney picked a spot with a good view, and she felt like this whole trip was just for seeing Karsyn and being bothered.Britney put her shopping bags away, sat down in her seat, and felt completely relaxed.I was exhausted by Manuel in the evening, busy with work during the day, and then came back to clean up the clothes after work.That was not enough energy, no matter how good it was."Why did you only buy two pieces of clothing today? And they are all innerwear..." Karsyn looked at Brit
