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.
Maxwell was completely oblivious to the evil smirks on Lune and Jaybie’s faces after leaving his place.“Brother, guess how long he’ll spend in the toilet tonight?” Lune giggled.Jaybie tilted his head and thought about it for a while. He said, “Aunt Winnie kept going to the toilet for half a day after having some of that powder in the past. He’d probably spend the night in the toilet.” Lune clapped and said, “That’s great! He should spend the night in the toilet! Who allowed him to bully mom?!” The next morning, Winnie suddenly called from the kitchen, “Oh no, where’s my rhubarb root powder?!” Sonnet was having breakfast. “Rhubarb root powder?” “I have chronic constipation. Therefore, I bought some rhubarb root powder from a pharmacy and took it as a laxative. I put it in the bottom drawer of the kitchen cabinet. It’s gone now!” Winnie had a worried gaze in her eyes. “Miss Turner, are the children alright? Did they have diarrhea?” Sonnet thought about it. “I don’t thi
Sonnet’s heart softened when she saw the angry look on her son’s face. She could not bring herself to blame the children. They were just trying to protect their mom. They did not know how serious this incident was. She knelt and caressed Jaybie’s shoulder. “I know you want to protect me, but both of you made a mistake this time.” Jaybie was prepared to be scolded but did not expect Sonnet to speak to him in such a gentle tone. His eyes reddened at once. He spoke up softly, “Mom, will that powder really put one’s life in danger?” Sonnet sighed lightly and said, “You’ve read some medical books as well. You know that there are specific dosages when it comes to medicine. I don’t know what will happen if he takes an overly large dosage of the powder!” A hint of panic flashed across Jaybie’s gaze. “What if he really… What should we do?” “Let’s check in on him first,” Sonnet said. She guessed that Johnson’s condition should not be that serious. Otherwise, the ambulance w
