Sonnet must not stop renting this unit! If Sonnet moved out, he would no longer be able to approach her in her daily life. “That’s true. We can look for an apartment building where many kids live in. We’ll then be able to have fun with plenty of friends!” Lune still wanted to make more friends. Sonnet, Jaybie, and Lune chatted while walking downstairs. Maxwell frowned as he dialed a number and said, “Arrange for some people to move over as soon as possible. Filter through the residents. They must have a clean record, and they must be nice and approachable as well. Right, it’d be great if they’re families with children around four to five years old. The children must be polite and intelligent…” Sonnet arrived home from work that evening. Lune grabbed her arm as soon as she arrived. “Mom, I’m truly blessed!” Sonnet burst out into laughter. “What happened?” “Did you know that a few families moved into the units upstairs today? There are children in two of the families that mo
“The founder of Paragon Education Group? Who’s he?” Sonnet asked.She had only ever bothered to teach the children in the special education school well. She rarely gossiped about such things. “Mr. Strombold. Don’t you know him?” Juliette rolled her eyes at her in disappointment. She started filling her in on everything, “Zachary Strombold is the founder of the Paragon Education Group. He has an ordinary family background. He started by opening a kindergarten and gradually expanded his education company. He’s now the gold standard in the education sector of Harbor City and the entire world! Most importantly…” Juliette stopped talking. There was a smitten gaze in her eyes. Sonnet had a bad premonition. Juliette then told her, “I love his handsome face!” Sonnet felt that this was Juliette’s true thoughts. She was truly obsessed with handsome men. How could she change herself? The aspirations and experiences that she had mentioned were simply excuses. She was mainly drawn to th
Sonnet got distracted as she looked at Zachary. Suddenly, an uproar broke out next to her. “Oh gosh, who’s that? He exudes such a mature aura!” Sonnet overheard the two women sitting next to her.She returned to her senses and looked at the stage. The second guest that had entered the hall was walking up the stage. Sonnet was stunned when she caught sight of the man Was that not Johnson Yates, her neighbor that lived in unit 405? He was completely different from Zachary. It was no wonder the female teachers got so excited looking at them! Most women would probably find either of them extremely attractive! “I heard that he’s the newly-appointed vice president!” Some well-informed insiders answered everyone’s questions. “This vice president is really…Most of the employees in Paragon Education Group are women. However, the president and vice president are such handsome and capable men. Is this how they intend to keep us at the company?” All the guests below the stage
The orientation ceremony ended at mid-day. Everyone headed to the company canteen for lunch.The teachers from the schools under Paragon Education Group that had attended the ceremony were given free lunch coupons. They could use the coupons for a buffet in the company’s canteen. Juliette and Sonnet walked together. After walking out of the hall, she kept holding Sonnet’s hand and looking at it. It was time for them to have lunch right now, but she was still looking at her hand. Sonnet could not bear it anymore. “Why do you keep holding my hand? It’s not like I’m holding money.” She tried to withdraw her hand from Juliette’s hand. However, Juliette held on tightly. “Wait! Let me have a sniff!” Juliette said as she put Sonnet’s hand to her nose. Sonnet snapped, “Are you a pervert?! Why are you sniffing my hand?!” “Am I sniffing your hand? I’m sniffing Mr. Zachary’s scent!” Sonnet said through gritted teeth, “He’s not the only person that I shook hands with. I shook han
Zachary looked at Maxwell eating in front of him. A sense of adoration filled his heart.Since when had he fallen for him?He recalled when he had first got to know Maxwell. Back then, he had just joined the university. Although Maxwell was two years younger than him, he already exuded a domineering aura. Back then, Maxwell was looking for teachers for the school that he planned to establish. He was looking for university students to train based on his values. He had joined the school through recruitment.He was the only male teacher that Maxwell had recruited for the training session. While the other female teachers all fell for Maxwell’s handsome looks and cold aura, he noticed the strong determination and bold dreams in Maxwell’s heart. He was the only one remaining in the school after Maxwell’s harsh training. After that, he took up the responsibility of training new teachers. He gradually got attracted by Maxwell’s charming personality after spending more time with him. He
Maxwell’s heart trembled in excitement. He thought about it before telling Zachary, “Get the director of the human resources department to notify Sonnet to come over for a chat after she finishes her meal.” Zachary felt an indescribable ache sensation in his heart. “The teachers would have returned to their schools after having their meals…” Maxwell got up and said, “In that case, I’ll head to the canteen to take a look myself.” It was alright if he could not speak to her. It would be great if he could just take a glance at her. “Well, there are a few files that you need to review!” Zachary said at once. Maxwell had a disappointed expression on his face. He sat down on the sofa and said, “Alright, bring them over.” Zachary immediately packed up the lunch boxes and fetched the files. Complicated emotions filled his heart as he headed over to grab the files. He vaguely knew about Maxwell’s condition. Therefore, he always felt that it was not Maxwell’s choice to get marri
Sonnet was already in the residential area. Why would he want to fetch her back? More importantly, she was displeased by the tone of his voice when he suggested fetching her home. It was as if they were very familiar with each other and that it was only reasonable for him to fetch her home. She recalled how he had held her hand tightly and refused to let go in the morning. She felt even more hyper-vigilant. Men usually treated other women nicely with specific intentions. It would be better for her to keep her distance from him.With that thought in mind, she started walking faster. Nevertheless, the Bentley next to her did not drive off. It moved along the road slowly by her side.He drove faster when she walked at a faster pace and slowed down when she walked at a slower pace.Sonnet frowned. She turned around and started walking along a path instead. Maxwell could no longer drive by her side. He smiled bitterly as he looked at her walking into the distance. He felt over
“It’s alright. Thank you. Please put me down,” Sonnet replied courteously, her face flushed red. Maxwell’s heart fluttered when he saw Sonnet’s face redden. How could he put her down? “I’d better carry you up. It’d be bad if you twisted your leg.” “It’s really fine. Put me down.” Sonnet stiffened her body and started struggling in his arms. Maxwell intentionally loosened his hold on her. Sonnet shouted out instinctively. She then wrapped her hands around his neck. Maxwell narrowed his eyes. It felt so good when his wife hugged him! The next moment, the weight in his arms vanished. Sonnet had jumped down from his arms. He set his gaze on Sonnet and noticed the dark expression on her face as she looked at him. She seemed extremely displeased.“Mr. Yates, although I’m grateful to you for helping me, it’s inappropriate for you to carry me without my consent.” There was an icy expression on her face. The tone of her voice was cold as well. She was evidently furious.
