In the bathroom, Britney, who took the opportunity to leave, looked at herself in the mirror and patted her flushed cheeks with her hands.
Even though I had been in a relationship before, being with Manuel made it feel like it was my first time. Damn it...
"What? Are you so shy because of a man's sweet talk?" Stephanie walked into the dressing room, a malicious smile playing on her lips.
Britney glanced sideways and looked at Stephanie with a half-smile, "Didn't Conrad ever tell you before? If he didn't, I don't mind lending you an ear."
This sentence seemed to touch Stephanie's fragile nerve. Conrad now, apart from going to work, the first thing he does when he gets home is to go into the study, and only goes to bed before falling asleep. He wouldn't say sweet words to her anymore, the only time was then...
But how could she possibly show it, restraining her overflowing emotions. "Conrad is a cultured man, how could he constantly have sweet words
"Conrad!" Stephanie, though foolish, understood the silent war between the two men, especially since she was not foolish herself."Swipe!" Conrad took out a gold card from his wallet and handed it to the waiter.A meal costing over five hundred thousand is not considered expensive! However, it depends on where the money is spent. Being taken advantage of by Manuel and being made a fool of is something that no one would feel good about!Manuel got in the car, while Britney was still reminiscing about the scene just now."Britney seemed happy?"Britney didn't hide either, she smiled and said, "Manuel, luckily I didn't choose you as my enemy."The delicate laughter of the petite woman caught Manuel's attention, and he wished he could embrace her tightly. "Even if you are my enemy, I can't bring myself to harm you."Resting on his strong arm, Britney still managed to ask, "Did you know from the beginning that the car was targeting me?"
Saying that one doesn't care is definitely impossible!Otherwise, why would I start dressing up and doing beauty treatments early in the morning? Isn't it all for the purpose of appearing beautiful in front of him and then having a nice meal with him?But Karsyn knew in her heart, right from the beginning, that Franklin was not the kind of person who would let his work be delayed for the sake of love for his children.Moreover, he was in a crucial period of growth now...So she was still sensible.Britney received a call from Karsyn and immediately made a phone call to Manuel, asking him to go eat by himself as she had to accompany Karsyn to pick up her younger brother.As a result, for a long period of time, Manuel did not like Andreas, and Andreas couldn't find any reason.Actually, Manuel was thinking about how he had approved his return. If he had known earlier, Britney would have made sure not to have dinner with him and would ha
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
This piece of music, she and her mother played together for no less than twenty times in the past. This time, they were able to find the feeling so smoothly, thanks to Gregory's patient guidance on stage just now.For some reason, whenever she played with Gregory, she could always find the same feeling she had when she played with her mother, it was almost identical.When Gregory first saw Britney's appearance, he was also slightly surprised. However, when they played together, that feeling was too familiar!For over twenty years, the feeling that had been missing all this time has reappeared!The two of them finished their duet and thanked the audience below the stage.The female host walked over and said, "Wow, really! I was completely stunned when I heard it just now. It was not a duet between two people at all, but a solo performance by one person!"An opening remark resonated with everyone."Ms. Hammond, I would like to interview
There was one week left until the scheduled wedding date.Tonight was the first solo piano concert, "One Life, One Love," held by Gregory Preston, Britney's favorite pianist.Gregory was a Goldmoor native who started playing the piano at the age of four. At the age of twenty-one, he went abroad to perform and achieved great success, eventually settling down overseas. This was his first visit back to his homeland after twenty-five years, and he chose to hold his first solo concert in his hometown. Gregory seemed destined for the piano, as it sang poetically with its unique sound in his fingertips. His playing always had a romantic quality, distinct and charming.Britney was no longer surprised that Manuel knew everything about himself.Ford drove into the parking lot, while Manuel held Britney's hand and headed towards the music hall.As it was the first show in the country, it is said that there were also some original songs created by Gregory, whi
