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
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
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 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
"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'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
Manuel had a straight back line, with attractive curves, and he was wearing a pair of dark-colored sweatpants on his lower body."Britney, why don't you come closer and take a look? I don't mind..."He turned towards Britney, his eyes surging like waves, and a deep voice resonated between the two of them.A strong and powerful upper body, with clearly defined and soft lines of an eight-pack abs, appeared before Britney's eyes...In that moment, all of Britney's rationality vanished, and her mind went blank.Suddenly, he looked up and instantly plunged into the bright galaxy that was as dark as a night pool."I... I'll tell you later," Britney said, closing the door behind her. She stood at the doorway, touching her flushed cheeks and taking a deep breath, trying to compose her fluctuating emotions.Early in the morning, seeing Manuel's bare upper body was really not a good thing!Although she wasn't particularly passionate, she
"Wait a minute!" Britney looked up from the documents.Malia stopped in her tracks and asked, "Team leader, do you have any further instructions?""Has Barrett been with the company for a few years?" Britney casually asked.Malia thought for a moment, "Barrett, it should have been over ten years, he is considered a senior member of the company. What's wrong, team leader?""Not a big deal. You can go down."Malia was a little stunned by Ms. Hammond's question, but she didn't ask any more and gently closed the door when she left.After Malia left, Britney went through the materials she brought one by one. After confirming that there were no issues, she took the files and went directly to the floor where the chairman was located, using the elevator.The chairman's secretary saw that it was Britney, and did not stop her, and told her that the chairman was inside.She knocked on the door of the chairman's office, and waited for perm
The resignation of ordinary employees does not bring much impact to the company. However, it is a different story for the company's senior management, and even for long-serving employees."It is best to prevent certain things from happening in the first place, but to be so bold as to challenge the company directly. That shows that he is not afraid of offending the company, he has a backup plan."Quinten looked at his daughter, whom he had raised for twenty-four years, in astonishment. She calmly and eloquently described the complicated relationship, analyzing the situation with her sharp mind. She displayed a calm and composed demeanor, far from the inexperienced young woman who had just entered the workforce. Instead, she seemed like someone who had been in the professional world for many years, handling matters with composure and confidence."If he was trying to use this backdoor to gain the company's favor, I don't think it was necessary," Britney pursed her
Looking into the mirror, Sierra touched the necklace around her neck.The more people praised her, the more her heart floated with beauty...Regardless of whether the other person was flattery or adulation, the more she looked at herself in the mirror, the more beautiful she felt. Especially with the expensive necklace around her neck, it further accentuated her beauty.Unfortunately, as soon as she thought about it, she realized that the necklace did not belong to her. She was only helping someone else choose it to give to someone else. She felt extremely frustrated.In fact, beautiful jewelry did enhance people's facial features.But in Raiden's eyes, they were all the same, just a few diamonds, like glass beads, then added to various parts of a little cat or put on wings or something, just changing the design...He generally wouldn't choose these seemingly complicated things, just paying the money is fine.He just wanted to make th
Actually, she had always had a dream in her heart, which was that the prince would drive a luxury car and stand in front of her with a bouquet of flowers...This scene appeared many times in her dreams, but she never expected that someone would actually do it."Um. I had time."Sierra nodded shyly.I thought to myself that I hadn't been able to contact my aunt and uncle, and I didn't know if they were at the villa or not. I decided to go out with this man first and check on them later when I could get in touch with them.Now, she completely forgot that Stephanie had warned her before that Raiden was a playboy.Raiden smirked and gentlemanly opened the door of the passenger seat for Sierra. After she sat inside, he walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat.Sierra sat in the car, lowered her gaze, and looked at the large bouquet of roses, immersing herself in the fragrance of the flowers. It was her first time rec
On the balcony outside the second floor of the villa, a slender figure was wrapped in a dark robe, standing there. The faint sunlight shone on the tall male body, creating a golden halo around the figure. The sharp short hair was topped with water droplets, giving it a cool and sexy look.Manuel had just finished taking a shower when he received a call from Cortez, reporting on the situation of the Maxwell family at the hospital. The cigarette butt flickered at his fingertips, and his sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down with each exhale of smoke rings.His cold narrowed black eyes deepened in color when he heard Cortez say that Maxwell had been arrested and the conflict between Jamiya and Stephanie had escalated. However, there was no extra expression on his face, as if everything had been expected long ago."Um." There was only a faint response before hanging up the phone.After finishing the cigarette in his hand, Manuel entered the bedroom. He pulled
"Stephanie, how could you..." Jamiya scolded.With an incredulous expression on her face, she couldn't believe that her daughter had easily pointed out her son.But compared to Jamiya's strong protectiveness towards her calf, Stephanie appeared much more rational."You should go and ask the doctors and nurses here first, to see if you can take him away," Stephanie said calmly, but beneath her calm exterior, there was a storm brewing.The remaining two police officers heard Stephanie's words and did not give them a hard time. They approached the glass and took a look at the person in the intensive care unit she had just pointed out. One of them went to find the doctor, and after a few minutes, Geovanni's attending physician, Dr. Cortez, rushed over. The three of them were communicating.At this moment, Jamiya finally realized that her daughter's actions were entirely because of Geovanni's current state, which the police officer couldn't take away.
The entire Goldmoor was cleansed by the night rain, seemingly washing away the sins of the night. The sun slowly emerged on the horizon, heralding the start of a new day.Karsyn held her phone nervously."How are you? Where is Britney now?" Andreas sat on the edge of the bed, shaking his silly sister.When he was heading home from the Seventh Club, he overheard people talking about something. Curiously, he approached and listened. To his surprise, it was actually about his friend Britney...What happened to them in the end?They all didn't know. According to Mr. Castro, they sent the person who was rear-ended to the hospital and then came back, but with Mr. Castro taking care of the rest, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.He didn't want to hear that there was no major issue. All he wanted was one hundred percent certainty.He made several phone calls, Britney's phone was turned off, Bryant's phone couldn't be reached, and Raid
People over here haven't even recovered from their sadness to make a decision, but these two individuals have already started discussing calmly about which arm or organ the person is missing.Everyone wanted Bryant to stay in the hospital for a few days, worried that he had hit his head and might have some aftereffects. However, he couldn't hold on and insisted on going back...So Manuel instructed Raiden to take Bryant home and have him rest for a few days.Manuel and Britney returned to the villa, and it was already dawn."I'll go take a shower first." Exhausted after a night of tossing and turning, Britney, who was already extremely tired, looked at her muddy body and didn't want to just lie down and go to sleep like that. She decided that even a quick shower would be more comfortable than sleeping in her current state."I helped you!" Manuel took a step forward and opened the bathroom door for Britney."No need! You were injured too, but
The doctor in his fifties walked out first, while the other unrelated medical staff left from the other side.Jamiya immediately got up from the chair and ran over, with Stephanie following behind. The two of them hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my son (brother)?"Maxwell walked with heavy steps and followed along.The attending doctor was surrounded by three people, took off his mask, and said, "The person has been saved, but once his condition improves a little, we will proceed with the next surgery.""Being alive is enough, being alive is enough... Doctor, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate well and let him recover quickly and undergo the surgery." Jamiya's suspended heart finally settled.No matter what, as long as you are still alive, it's good.Before, they said her son had only one breath left, and she knew it couldn't be true when she saw him for the last time.How could her son have had any trouble?Maxwell and
That night, there was a close encounter with life and death.The lights in the hospital poured down, Manuel's cold and rigid facial features were too terrifying, and his aura was too powerful, leaving the nearby doctors standing there at a loss, not daring to say a word."If your hand were disabled, I would have to find someone with all four limbs," Britney threatened, seeing that Manuel was still unmoved.This man really didn't take care of himself at all. Although he knew he wanted to protect himself, his hands were definitely injured badly.The man, who had been staring at Britney's wound, barely reacted when he heard her words. "Let's go!""Mr. Castro, come with me over here," the doctor said in a pleasing manner.At that moment, Raiden walked up to Manuel from a different direction."You go first, I'll follow," Manuel glanced at the older doctor.The doctor quickly said, "Okay!"After the doctor left, Raiden whisper
Raiden bumped Bryant's arm, indicating him to look at the affectionate couple after the robbery.Raiden has always been puzzled as to why there are so many flowers and plants outside, yet they insist on hanging themselves on a tree.However, seeing Manuel cherish someone so much, Britney wondered if she had saved the Milky Way in her past life.Britney let Manuel carry her onto the car.Now she is covered in mud everywhere, originally wearing a white evening gown, but now she looks like a beggar who has just come out of a garbage dump.There was not a single clean spot, whether on the body or on the face.Just as she was putting her down, Britney caught sight of the large patch of crimson on Manuel's arm, illuminated by the dim light inside the car."Manuel, what happened to your hand?" Britney pulled his hand over, blood had already soaked through his white shirt, flowing down his arm onto the back of his hand.It was as if at
