Although Britney had a sprained foot, her hand recovered quickly, so it didn't hinder her from working from home at all.
In the evening, I arranged the work schedule for Monday and prepared the materials needed for the next day. I sent them to Hugh through email. Due to a foot injury, I definitely won't be able to go to the office tomorrow.
I didn't expect Hugh to be online.
Hugh: Are you there?
Britney: Hmm! I couldn't go to the office tomorrow. Can you take a look at the documents and arrange tomorrow's work schedule? You can handle the materials by then...
Britney and Hugh both recounted their experiences.
Hugh: What happened?
Britney: My foot twisted, I couldn't go to the office tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, you have to go and meet with the manufacturer, I will come over.
Hugh: How about I stay for two more days?
Britney: It's nothing serious, work comes first.
Hugh: Which hospital are you in? I'll bring s
Even so, Britney didn't ask much.After a while, Manuel and Quinten came out of the study. Manuel had a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, while Quinten couldn't stop smiling.Britney, on the other hand, was curious about what exactly was going on between them.Manuel carried Britney upstairs. Britney asked, "What did you say to my dad?" She had never seen her dad with anyone else before, so of course Manuel was about to become part of the family, smiling so happily."This is a secret between your dad and me, I can't tell you," Manuel raised an eyebrow and placed Britney on the bed.Then, Manuel earnestly massaged and kneaded Britney's feet! With just the right amount of pressure, he skillfully worked through her muscles and tendons.After being caught during the day, Manuel became much more honest and there were no further incidents."I will go to the company tomorrow. Can you come and pick me up earlier?" In fact, she was some
In fact, the report only occupied a small section of the newspaper, accompanied by a photo.Looking at the photos, none of them were intact bodies, almost all of them were unrecognizable, in a pitiful state of death...Britney couldn't tell if it was those few from that night, but she counted the number and it matched perfectly...Would this be done by Manuel?She didn't have time to think about it carefully when the sound of knocking on the door came from outside."Come in!" Britney folded the newspaper and set it aside.Malia opened the door, holding a stack of documents. "Team leader, Mr. Hammond wanted you to go to the Board of Directors!""Okay!" Britney stood up, walked around the desk, and headed towards the conference room.The temporary Board of Directors was established on Monday primarily to review the work of their department, but she took a leave of absence yesterday, so it was rescheduled for today.When Britney arrived, everyone on the Board of Directors was present, si
At the same time, she also noticed the emphasis Manuel put on the three words "our home" in his speech.So, under Manuel's intense gaze, Britney finished her lunch completely.The things at home were indeed much tastier than fast food outside.Before, her parents were worried that she was eating too much outside, so they asked her to come home for lunch or have it delivered to her. For the former, she was pressed for time and couldn't afford to waste time during lunch. It would take at least two hours for her to commute from home to the office and back, not to mention that lunchtime was also the peak period for traffic. As for the latter, it would be troublesome for her mother to make a round trip every day to deliver the food.We might as well eat fast food outside and see how it goes after the first three months.If Manuel kept delivering like this every day, she was really afraid that her mouth would be worn out.At that moment, Manuel's phone rang.Manuel casually opened it and, w
The rhythmic music, enhanced by the DJ's touch, became even more three-dimensional, and the music in the nightclub had a strong infectious power.When it comes to people who engage in evening activities and have a rich nightlife, Raiden is the one.Just as I was cuddling with a beautiful girl, getting ready to have a romantic moment, I was interrupted by a shout from Karsyn. If you ask me if he was angry, he wasn't.Because he saw Ernesto with a member of the opposite sex for the second time, and it was the same person, it was nothing short of a miracle. Although Ernesto only had two cold words, Raiden seemed to see hope.The hope of sending Ernesto away.The person next to her gave the little girl a smack on the face and said, "Wait for me here.""Hey! We haven't gotten that close yet!" Karsyn shrugged. She had just seen Raiden hugging a woman, and she didn't want to catch any diseases or anything like that."Karsyn, you really know how to joke! You forgot! We had met two or three ti
Last night, Raiden didn't sleep all night, he tossed and turned all night, but he couldn't create a single flower.I almost got myself into trouble!Three women, therefore, also received a considerable amount of hush money. Not wanting to cause trouble, naturally, this matter would be kept confidential and not leaked. As they walked with their slender waists twisted, they even greeted, eagerly awaiting his next summons!Leaving Raiden alone in the room, he pondered which place had gone wrong.Could it be that I have been using it too much recently?A night of absurdity, the next day, gentle sunlight penetrated through the thick clouds, bathing the entire Goldmoor. The faint sunlight remained unaffected by the night. The weather had gradually warmed up, and tender buds had already sprouted on the bare branches, all of which indicated that spring had arrived!Stephanie drove herself, on a straight road, with earphones on her ears, and dialed Jamiya's phone."Mom, I came to pick you up.
Time passed quickly, and on Friday, Hugh hurried back and brought back several computer semi-finished products that he personally supervised. Then, he sent them to Goldmoor's Belholt Factory for the final processing.Because Britney's wedding was postponed, he stayed there for a few more days to personally supervise their production. Since the quantity was not large, it didn't take too long. He also took Goldmoor back with him.I had already communicated with Belholt Factory and hoped that they would work overtime to complete the processing of those computers before Monday. So basically, it can be confirmed that the department can start testing the new computers next Monday.Hugh deserves the most credit here; if it weren't for him keeping an eye on things, it wouldn't have been possible to finish so quickly.On the weekend, the sun was shining brightly, and the tense atmosphere of the entire city gradually relaxed.After a few days of rest, Britney's foot was basically fine for walki
Manuel's lips slightly curled, and his deep voice said.Having lunch, Manuel wiped the little soup stains off Britney's lips and cheeks, and whispered, "Tonight, the Padilla Group has a charity auction. Do you have time to go and take a look together?"The Padilla Group used to hold two to three large charity auctions every year, which always received support and participation from many high society individuals. The proceeds from each auction were used to donate to the impoverished population.Britney looked at Manuel, he didn't look like someone who would usually attend such auctions."Raiden's father entrusted me to help him take a photograph of an antique! By the way, I found a necklace that suits you, which could come in handy when we get married," Manuel raised an eyebrow, his lip curling with a meaningful gesture."..."Britney was unexpectedly speechless.Sometimes Manuel speaks with a serious tone, but it always sparks people'
Although it was just a small-scale meeting, there were still many matters to be dealt with. By the time the meeting was over, it was already past the end of the workday.Everyone finished tidying up the documents and returned to their departments, getting ready to leave work.In the meeting room, only Britney and Hugh remained."Is Manuel still coming to pick you up today? If not, let's go have dinner together!" Hugh's lips curved into a warm smile."Sure. You're welcome to come next time, and I'll treat you!" Britney replied with a smile, and then she and Hugh walked out of the meeting room side by side.Just as Britney returned to her department, she received a call from Manuel asking her if she had finished her work.Since the foot injury, I always left work on time every day, even if there were unfinished tasks to bring home. Today, the meeting ran late, and I forgot to greet Manuel in advance.With the left hand holding the docum
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
