Danielle stepped into the lobby of Crest Empire. The chauffeur took her to the underground parking lot and pointed at the car she took a ride from the day before. “That’s the car, Ms. Wendell. Here’s the car key. I got to go.” Danielle took the car key, her head throbbing. In the earlier call,
The woman in the private dining room was beautiful and carried herself with grace. She was taken aback when Karl arrived accompanied by a woman. She stood up and offered a gentle smile.“Karl, this is…” Karl smiled. “This is Timothy’s tutor. You can address her as Ms. Wendell.” The woman smiled f
Danielle thought that Karl telling her to wash the car was an excuse to get her to have lunch with him.Hence, it never occurred to her that Karl would take her to wash his car after lunch. As if that was not enough, Karl stayed and watched her clean his car. The scenario reminded Danielle of a cl
Danielle pulled away from Noah’s embrace and beamed at him. “Didn’t you say you’d only be back in the country in two months, Noah?” “Dad broke his leg a few days ago, so I came back early.” Her expression froze. “I see.” “Do you want me to take you to see him?” She shook her head indifferently.
“That’s right. Timothy has a month until his exam, and time is of the essence. I hope you can be close by to help out, and staying here makes it convenient.” Karl was calm, but Danielle was not. “I can’t, Mr. Burt. I’m a student too, and I need to stay on campus. Besides, this place is too far fro
After tutoring Timothy, Danielle rushed to Prime Gastronomy. Noah had gone ahead and ordered the food for Danielle. As she sat down, Noah asked, “Are you tired?” Danielle took a couple of gulps of water. “I’m tutoring the student with something I’m familiar with, and I’m seated the whole time. Ho
The moment Karl and Danielle's eyes met, his expression froze.Danielle, on the other hand, turned her head to the side and quickly wiped away her tears before rising to her feet. “Why are you here, Mr. Burt?” Danielle tried to keep it together as she looked at him. “Is that your opening line?” D
Karl narrowed his eyes at Danielle. For a moment, she felt a pang of guilt. “Uh, I mean, I have a driver’s license, but I have never driven a car. I doubt I’d do well when I’m behind the wheel.” Karl scoffed at how quickly the woman changed her tune. “Charlie, pull over at the side of the road.”
Danielle coyly laughed it off. “No, she didn’t! Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” “In that case, don’t stress yourself thinking about it. Besides, Brooklyn was just someone that Justin’s family chose for him after they went through the list of candidates and decided that she offered the best. As lon
“I’m just telling the truth.” Karl smirked before prompting, “Alright, I’ll drop it. What was it that she said to you in the past?” “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.” “What, is it a secret between the two of you that you won’t share with me?” Danielle shot him a look. In addition to sw
Karl followed Justin’s gaze and looked outside the window similarly, then he remarked faintly, “Do you feel like Harmony has become rather different? She’s not in a very good state of mind right now, and I think she will need a therapist when she gets to Miraco.” Justin stared at Harmony for a brie
Danielle relented, “Harmony, the reason he wants you to go back is not that he’s angry at you or anything like that. He's…” “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I have thought about it and have decided that I will believe in and listen to whatever he says from now on. I trust him as much as I tru
Danielle wondered what he wanted to discuss with her. What an elegant way to put it. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?” Karl sat up, “I just spoke to Justin on the phone. He says he’s going to Miraco next month to start a new branch there and that he will be there for a few years. I was hopi
As Danielle turned around, she saw Max at the door. She stopped in her tracks briefly before finally walking over. “Are you guys done already?” Max just smiled at her slightly. “Mr. Burt is a concise person.” Danielle replied, “That’s fair. Thank you for saving Karl today.” “Mr. Burt has already
Hearing Max’s name, Karl deliberated briefly before responding, “Dan, why don’t you help them send Harmony back to her ward? In the meantime, you can have Max come in. I have something to say to him.” Danielle got worried. “What do you have to say to him? Let’s just forget about it.” “Don’t worry,
After receiving the news that Karl had woken up, despite just being discharged from the emergency room, Harmony made a fuss about wanting to go see Karl. Timothy was also worried. He agreed with Harmony’s request and brought her to Karl’s ward via wheelchair. Seeing Karl, Harmony burst out in tear
As Danielle said that, tears started rolling down her cheeks, her shaky hands moving towards the call bell. How could Karl not recognize her? Could he have hit his head when he fell? What could she do? What could she do now that the person she loved no longer recognized her? Before she could pre
