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

    The board meeting ended with Britney achieving a complete victory.Axel left with a dark expression, fuming with anger."Quinten, your daughter’s presence in the business world is just like yours back in the day!” Jaylon exclaimed, pulling Quinten aside.“She’s too arrogant; she still needs more refinement!” Although he said this, Quinten couldn’t hide his pride. Seeing Axel’s defeated expression, he was pleasantly surprised that his daughter managed to stun him.“New talents emerge with each generation! We old guys should step aside and let more young blood into the company!” another shareholder, Brendon Kidd, chuckled.“Exactly! Hearing her passionate speach just now made me feel like I was back in my fighting days again! Hahaha…”Britney and Malia tidied up the files in the conference room. Just as they walked out of the room, their phones rang.Looking at the time, it was already five o'clock. Time really flies!“Since there’s nothing else today, you can leave work early.” After h

    Karsyn walked ahead, grinning, “That’s a secret!”If she told Britney, she would probably just turn around and leave. She's not that dumb.In the long corridor, a man approached them, and upon seeing Karsyn and Britney, he greeted them enthusiastically.“Did I see that right? I never expected to run into two beauties here!”Britney glanced at Karsyn, who responded with a look of complete ignorance.Karsyn couldn't believe she would actually run into someone like Michael Lindsey in a place like this. He was a wealthy playboy, average-looking, and usually thought with his lower body. Of course, he used to be her suitor."Didn't you say you went abroad for development?" Karsyn scrutinized the man in front of her."The plane just landed in the afternoon!" Michael flirtatiously winked at Karsyn. "Karsyn, do you have any free time to come and sit in my private room?""No time!" Karsyn dodged his grope."Don't worry, they are all our former high school classmates," Michael reassured, leaning

    Britney retorted. Karsyn and Britney found a spot a bit away from the others."However, how could the former playboy Darius, be willing to settle for just one girl?" Karsyn felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction as she saw Claire's increasingly darkened face. "You must have some hidden ailment that forces you to settle, right?"Darius smiled back at Karsyn with a mischievous grin, not taking Karsyn's joke to heart. "Karsyn is still so good at making jokes!"But originally holding Claire's hand, he withdrew it."Karsyn, you're not any better! All these years, you still couldn't get Franklin!" Claire was infuriated."What's the matter? It's better than some women resorting to surgery just to keep a man! Is that chin fake? And that chest! I remember your chest wasn't this big before!" Karsyn couldn't help but feel the urge to pinch Claire's almost bursting, fair skin, just to verify if it really was as described, fearing it might burst if he applied too much force."You!" C

    After hanging up the phone, Britney went to the restroom and came out after changing her necessities.The scene in front of her made Britney pause in her actions of tidying her light hair, and something heavy blocked her heart, causing her breath to slow down for a second.In the dim light, not far away, a man and a woman leaned against the wall, appearing ambiguous.From Britney's perspective, it seemed like they were kissing.Her luck was so good that she could go buy the lottery!Should she go forward? Or should she run away?"Manuel..." Nylah Jefferson slurred, attempting to kiss his lips."Don't be like this!" Manuel pushed her away, keeping a safe distance, his thin red lips pursed into a straight line. He knew Nylah had an excellent tolerance for alcohol and it was impossible for her to get drunk.“After all these years, can’t you feel anything for me? Even just a little bit?" Nylah looked at the cold and resolute handsome face with anticipation, hoping to find even a trace of

    In the dim night, the most luxurious Seventh Club at Goldmoor was bustling. Karsyn, with a flushed face from drinking, was half asleep and half awake, feeling as if his whole body was like a sponge, floating...In a daze, she had no idea where Britney had gone!Of course, others would prefer Britney never to come back! After all, Britney was not that easy to deal with.Claire gave Halle a look, and Halle understood. Blushing, she leaned towards Michael and said, "Michael, how about I give you a big gift?"Michael raised an eyebrow, his gaze following Halle's towards Karsyn's blushing face. Then, he threw a wicked look at Darius.Good things are meant to be shared! This has always been the hobby of the wealthy.Halle picked up a bottle of tequila here and walked towards Karsyn, twisting her waist, but her eyes were full of malice. Sometimes, making a man bow down and submit is not only about knowing how to please him, but also about knowing his preferences! Instead of letting him beg a

    The woman before him, with her dreamy eyes looking up, her cheeks flushed from alcohol, resembled the peach blossoms of March."Who are you?" she asked, followed by a loud burp, as the taste of alcohol sprayed out, spreading in her mouth, even Karsyn herself grimaced in discomfort.Ernesto smelled a pungent odor, and a hint of disgust appeared on his cold and austere face.The words after "It's you..." were not spoken yet. Karsyn, as if suddenly remembering something, raised her finger and provocatively lifted the handsome man's chin, "You are the male escort I hired, right?"Male escort...Karsyn's hazy eyes failed to notice the icy, piercing gaze of the man directed towards her.Karsyn swayed and turned around, muttering, "So much for a top tier."Ernesto stared at the crazed woman in front of him, wishing he had never been here. But he had no choice but to listen to Manuel's words!So he said, women are really troublesome creatures!"Come on! Come over here with me. Haven't you rec

    "Rylie, do you have a crush? I'm still single!" Taking advantage of the gap while the boss was on the phone, Jacob activated his flirting skills."No, and I don’t want you! With my beauty, how could I let a flower be planted in dung?" Rylie flatly rejected him."Rylie, you were not adorable!" Jacob shook his head in disappointment."Sorry, you have already lost me, my cutie...""Ezequiel, can't you take a break?" Scott, a colleague from the Technology Department who was also transferred here, saw Ezequiel still typing away on the keyboard."Before, there were still some tasks unfinished, but anyway, there haven't been any assignments given now," Ezequiel adjusted his glasses and continued.The people Britney chose this time were all young, and there was no generation gap in their conversations. The key point is that, for Britney, the older ones lack passion, although their skills are good, they are more conservative and do not meet her requirements. Moreover, the older ones with good

    The sky was gradually getting dark...Karsyn received a call from Andreas, but it was not his own voice.Albert, who was Andreas' childhood friend, was Albert Fitzpatrick.The voice on the phone was very noisy, and Karsyn couldn't hear very clearly. However, she understood roughly that she was asked to hurry to Seventh Club because Andreas had an argument with someone.That person was none other than Geovanni from last night!"Franklin, I'm really sorry. I'm going to stand you up today!" Hanging up the phone, Karsyn stepped on the gas pedal and accelerated the car to 150 miles per hour."Do you want me to accompany you?" It was evident that Karsyn was anxious."No need! It's nothing, I'll just take you back to the apartment," Karsyn forced a smile to reassure Franklin. She had noticed earlier that Franklin seemed a bit tired, and although she didn't understand the details of his work, she didn't want him to be distracted or burdened b

    Today, Geovanni did not come to the company and did not ask for leave from the company.And Malia told her that on that day, as soon as she and Hugh left, Geovanni claimed to have something to do and didn't go to the dinner. They should have left the company one after the other.Originally, Malia didn't pay much attention to it. However, after two consecutive incidents, the team leader asked her to pay attention to the morning news, which made Malia think that this matter might be related to Geovanni, so she reported it to him.Britney had just come down from the Board of Directors and let Hugh into the office, instructing Malia to brew two cups of coffee.Britney sat on a leather office chair, while Hugh sat across from her."Hugh, put aside what you have on your hands for now.""Did you want me to investigate this matter?"Hugh and I were truly on the same wavelength when it came to work, we could basically think as one."Yes

    She should have realized the reaction of Uncle's family earlier, but she didn't expect Maxwell to actually threaten her father."Dad, I'm sorry!"If Uncle's family targeted her, she could handle it on her own or ignore it. It seems that this time, the Maxwell family wants to take advantage of this opportunity to force her father to step down.Quinten lovingly patted Britney's head and said, "Britney, you did the right thing! If Geovanni continues to be spoiled like this, he will surely be ruined!""Yeah! Big brother and the others were completely unaware of Geovanni's problem and were still protecting him," Diana said."But, big brother said so, what should we do next?""Mom, it's okay. You don't need to worry," Britney reassured."Diana, you go to sleep first," Quinten pulled Diana's clothes closer, considerately escorting her to the bedroom door and comforting her with a few words.Seeing Diana return to the room, Quinten fin

    Manuel didn't eat much, but Britney did. Manuel kept serving her food, and unknowingly she ended up eating more.After dinner, Karsyn quickly disappeared with Andreas.Manuel gave a perfect score to the actions of these two siblings. Britney ate a bit too much and suggested that they take a walk together.The two of them, like an ordinary couple, walked hand in hand and took a stroll in the nearby park. There were elderly people exercising in the park, and when they saw the two of them, they chuckled and smiled at them.Britney still couldn't figure out why Manuel kissed her in front of their grandparents. Britney lightly tapped him, but it was misunderstood as playful banter between the couple, and they laughed even harder at them."These two make such a perfect couple!"When leaving, these words entered the ears. However, the uncommunicative Manuel, instead, turned around and said thank you.After a while, the two of them returned t

    If marrying her was more based on the memories from childhood and my hidden feelings for her all along.So now, he had gained a deeper understanding of her.And, it seemed that he had discovered a secret, possibly a secret that she herself was unaware of.This made him very happy, sweeping away the gloom he had just experienced.Geovanni's face turned pale as Manuel released his grip. "Ouch," he exclaimed, using his other hand to cradle the one that had been squeezed. He took two steps back. That hand was practically immobile; even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain.Under the myriad of lights and shadows, Manuel, a mature man with a deadly charm, inserted his slender hand into his pocket.Actually, Manuel didn't use much force, otherwise Geovanni's hand would have been injured long ago."You guys accompany him to the hospital and take a look." Britney looked at Geovanni's swollen wrist, which had been pinched, and said t

    Geovanni was called out by his friend to have a hot pot and, by the way, to discuss his interest in working for the Hammond Group. Being persuaded by his friend, he ended up having a few drinks."Isn't that Andreas?" Geovanni immediately recognized Andreas, who was sitting there fishing for meat.People always have a tendency to compare themselves when they are together. Geovanni and Andreas are the same age. They attended the same school, in the same grade, and even the same class since childhood. They are both heirs to wealthy families, known as the Hammond family and the Melton family, respectively. It is inevitable that they will be compared by others in the future.The Hammond Group was Goldmoor's leading conglomerate, and Geovanni had a sense of superiority, naturally unwilling to be surpassed by others.In his eyes, Andreas was just a wild and unruly little brat."It's really Andreas!" said Korbin Fuentes. Andreas also recognized him, as the

    The three of them were together, as if they had returned to their past lives.Time has passed, it has been almost half a year since Andreas last came home."Andreas, what is the schedule like in your training area?" Britney, sitting in the passenger seat, remembered the last time she called Manuel and realized she didn't even know his basic routine.Before, I had the idea of asking Bryant, but that guy is just like a block of wood. Besides driving, when it comes to anything about their training area, he doesn't say a word.Always makes people feel mysterious.Andreas squeezed forward from the back seat and said, "I heard that my future brother-in-law is also from the training area.""Yes, you're quite proud! Recently, during this period of time, Britney is the headline figure of Goldmoor. She's showered with love by your future brother-in-law.""How come I smell something sour..." Andreas laughed, revealing a row of small white teeth,
