Sonnet stopped and looked back at her. There was a smug expression on Maggie’s face. "Aren't you surprised why I’m here?""The Paragon Group is not a prison, anybody can come and go as they please," Sonnet replied coldly.Maggie continued to apply lipstick, and said slowly, "Oh, the color of my lipstick is really pretty, especially on the collar of a white shirt."Sonnet paused in her steps and continued to walk outside.Maggie raised her voice when Sonnet ignored her. "It seems that you don't care enough about your boyfriend. Didn't you notice the lipstick stain on his shirt collar?""You’re saying that you made that lip print, right? Well, now I know, thanks for telling me." Without turning her head, Sonnet said and quickened her pace.She heard Maggie shout angrily. "Men are all the same. Responsibility is one thing. Whether they can control their urges is a different matter!"Sonnet was completely unmoved, turned a corner steadily, and entered the elevator lobby.Maggie's
As they walked out of the headquarters, Sonnet stopped and looked around.Originally, Johnson had promised her that he would get off work early to send her home, but she did not see his car anywhere.She was just about to call him when a car suddenly stopped beside them. Someone poked his head out of the car window. "Sonnet!"Sonnet was slightly taken aback, but before she had time to react, Juliette called out. "Mr. Strombold!"Zachary smiled and nodded at Juliette. Juliette's eyes shone brightly, as if hearts were about to pop out of them."Get in the car. Johnson needed to go on a business trip for something urgent. Before he left, he asked me to pick you up and take you home. I will pick you up for the next few days."Sonnet did not know Zachary well, so she was embarrassed to bother him. "Don't bother, I can go back by myself.""How could this be? Before Johnson left, he specifically asked me to send you home. Something about you being in danger last time, right?" Zachary s
With a gentle smile, Zachary glanced at her from the rearview mirror. "It's okay, I have nothing urgent. Besides, it's not gentlemanly to leave a girl like you by the side of the road."Juliette's heart was thumping like a stampede, ‘Mr. Strombold is so approachable, he doesn't have the airs of a president at all!Zachary glanced at her again from the rearview mirror, the corners of his lips curled up when he saw her blushing.While waiting for the red light, he took out his social media QR code and handed it to the back. "Scan it, let's add each other online."Juliette was flattered. However, she looked at him, still uncertain. "Do you really want to add me as a friend?""I have no intentions. I’ve added many employees as friends. If a company wants to do well, we must first listen to the voices of grassroots employees.""No, no, I didn't mean that!" Juliette hurriedly waved her hand to explain and scanned the QR code.She just never expected that a person of Mr. Strombold’s st
She was certain that she had not fallen in love with Johnson yet. However, her opinion of him has changed and she felt good about him.Love life aside, his attitude toward the children was better than many fathers in normal marriages.However, she was still reluctant to consider marrying him now."I think it's good as it is now. We are friends who aren’t too close or distant, and we get along very comfortably." She spoke softly."You may be comfortable, but he isn’t. Everybody can see that he likes you. You let him be around you only to be ordinary friends with him, isn’t that hard for him?"Sonnet waved her hand: "He might meet a great girl later, and they will fall in love. Alright now, don't you worry about it!"Lindy did not say anything more. She knew that it was difficult for her bestie to get over her previous relationship, so she had to let things be.The afternoon two days later, Sonnet was on her way home in Lindy's car when she received a message.She opened it. It w
——Maxwell woke up with a hangover and a massive headache.He felt something pressing against him. He looked down, and it turned out to be Zachary.Zachary arrived the next day after him, saying he wanted to assist him.He undoubtedly played a significant role in helping him complete this large project.In this way, the Paragon Education Group’s reach had successfully extended overseas!Maxwell looked down at the sleeping Zachary, who lay beside him, leaning against him with one arm and one leg over his body.There was a strange feeling in Maxwell’s heart, inexplicably felt that this posture was a bit... He shook his head vigorously to dispel this feeling.‘Zachary’s sleeping posture is just a little off.’He took Zachary's arms and legs off his body, sat up, and rubbed his temples.Last night, they had to drink with people from Avalon. Zachary was not good at drinking, so he took the drinks in his place. He was confident in his alcohol tolerance, but he never expected the dr
Sonnet received Johnson's message when she was about to go to bed: [I have finished my business in Avalon and will go back soon.]Sonnet replied: [Good.]She was looking forward to Johnson's return, not because of the affection she had for him, but because Jaybie had asked her several times, and he missed Johnson.She noticed that since Jaybie knew that Johnson was his biological father, he gradually became fond of Johnson. Furthermore, Johnson was very attentive to the two children, and Jaybie quickly developed a close relationship with him. After all, a child will be a child. The boy would still long for fatherly love in his heart.‘In the beginning, Maxwell had no blood relationship with them, and he was mentally challenged. Didn't they develop the same affection for him?’She could not help but reach out and stroke her belly.‘Once Lil Three is born, Johnson would be by the baby’s side, I’m not sure if I can leave this man anymore…’She felt that the entanglement between J
Zachary took back his phone, looked up, and smiled as he saw Maxwell's outstretched hand towards him.They were doing outbound survival activities in the nature reserve. Currently, they were climbing a high mountain. Maxwell climbed up first. He reached out to give Zachary a hand because the big rock in front of them was too difficult to climb.Zachary put his hand on Maxwell's palm and immediately felt his tight grip on his hand. Maxwell's palm was sturdy and powerful.With a little effort, Zachary managed to climb up the boulder in one go. He smiled at Maxwell, "I'm not as athletic as you. If it weren't for you, I would be exhausted to death.""You are too thin, I think you need to gain some muscles," Maxwell replied with a smile.Zachary thought of the question Maggie asked himself just now.He studied Sonnet’s behavior for quite a while now, so he could hatch such a plan.This plan seemed to backfire easily, but quite the contrary for a woman with Sonnet's character.She wa
After starting the car, Maxwell said to Sonnet, "Shall we take the kids out for a meal when you finish at noon?"Sonnet turned to look at him and saw a loving smile on his face. "The kids don't know I'm back, so I want to give them a surprise."Sonnet would not stop him from getting close to the kids, and immediately said, "If you want to surprise the kids, then I’ll have to call Lindy, so she won’t spill.""Better for her to send them there," Maxwell said.Sonnet’s face was surprised. Maxwell quickly explained. "Recently, there’s a famous kid-friendly restaurant that was newly launched in Harbor City. I want to surprise them there..."At 12:30 noon, Sonnet sat in the children's restaurant filled with childlike fun and looked out the window.After a while, she saw Lindy's car turning slowly into the parking lot. Then, Jaybie and Lune jumped out of the car.She immediately waved to the two children through the window. The kids smiled and trotted into the restaurant.As soon
