“You're insane.” Danielle glared at him with a frown. Karl turned toward the door. “Aaron–” Danielle immediately covered his mouth with her palms and gave him a quick peck on the cheek like a dragonfly barely breaking the surface of the water. However, judging by Karl’s smile, he seemed pleased.
He was far too dangerous and unpredictable. After that, she spent the afternoon drowning in work. When work hours ended in the evening, everyone gathered around Cecilia. Since she was just promoted today, everyone wanted her to treat the office to a meal. Cecilia was in a good mood, so she happil
“Wow. When did our Leon become so friendly?” “Leon dishes out his friendliness depending on who you are. He always has very high standards in girls, so it makes sense he would be especially friendly to someone as pretty as Danielle.” “What is this, Old Robb? Are you trying to get a piece as well?”
“I thought so. A beautiful girl like you must get a lot of attention,” Leon remarked candidly as if he was chatting with a close friend. Danielle chuckled. “Is your boyfriend your classmate? I’m sure he must be excellent.” “Yeah, he is.” “What are your plans for the future? I can tell you’re ver
Danielle did not dare to look back and sped walked to her building.As something was on her mind, she did not notice the eye-catching car parked by the roadside.As she passed by the car, the door opened, and Karl spoke from behind her.“Where have you been? You’re back so late.”Danielle looked bac
Danielle recalled the bitter expression on Timothy’s face and his last sentence: “Is it just because I was born a Burt?”She turned to look toward the kitchen door, feeling even more remorseful.It made her think of the time Karl suggested she work at his company but on the sole condition that she c
Danielle gulped.Aaron asked, “Hi, may I know who you’re looking for?”“Sorry, I’m in the wrong place.”As Danielle said that, she turned around and headed toward the stairwell, leaving in a rush. Aaron was puzzled. ‘In the wrong place?’It was the 36th floor. Who could get it wrong?Besides, it ba
Her action made Leon a little disappointed. “Danielle, you hate me quite a bit, don’t you?”Danielle clasped her hands behind her back, her expression calm.“Mr. Leon, I understand what you meant last night, and that is why I hope we can keep a distance. After all, I have a boyfriend, and I have to
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
