After work in the afternoon, Annette called Connor as she walked to the school gate. She asked, "What do you want to have for dinner?""Whatever. As long as you treat me."Annette thought for a moment and said, "I'll send you an address later. Come to me."She hung up the phone and got into Leonard's car at the school gate."Leonard, we're not going home. Let's go to the Night Restaurant.""Yes, Ms. Hall."Connor arrived at the entrance of a restaurant according to the address Annette had sent him.He smiled and walked in.The waiter welcomed him warmly. "Sir, have you booked a table?""Ms. Hall booked table 3. She is here already.""Okay. Sir, please put your hand on my shoulder. I will take you in." The waiter put on a pair of night vision goggles and led Connor through two doors.Connor was led to table 3 and had a seat. Annette's eyes had adapted to the darkness. She looked up at Connor with a cute smile, but Connor could not see it."I've ordered the dishes."Connor raised his ey
The next day, Connor went downstairs and didn't see Annette. He asked Dwayne, "Where's Annette?""Ms. Hall left half an hour ago."Connor had a poker face and did not say anything. He went to the dining table and had breakfast alone.When Connor returned to the villa in the evening, he still didn't see Annette.Connor's face was a little cold. He looked at Dwayne and asked, "Have you called her?""Leonard called Ms. Hall. She said that she had to work overtime and might be busy until late. She asked Leonard to go first," Dwayne quickly replied.Connor looked somewhat annoyed. He said, "Tell Leonard to come back."After that, he didn't even get changed and left home.Annette had dinner at school and then went straight back to her office.Other teachers had gotten off work.Annette planned to spend the night in the office and go back to her rented apartment tomorrow to see if there were any reporters there.If there were no reporters, she would go back. If there were, she would rent a n
At noon the next day, Annette heard that Kyle did not come to work again.In the afternoon, the new president took office.The new president was a middle-aged werewolf from the Giant Wood Pack. In the meeting, he left a good impression on the others.After the meeting, he met the teachers and student instructors in the school.Three days later, it was Annette's turn.Annette walked forward and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Crace. I am Annette, the new student instructor.""Annette, it's no longer the same as before. If you need anything at work, just tell me. I'll help you," Darren said with a smile.Annette was a little embarrassed. "Thank you, Mr. Crace.""May I ask a private question?" Darren suddenly said."Yes.""Ms. Hall, what is the relationship between you and Alpha Connor?"Annette frowned. Why would Darren mention Connor in front of her?Annette was puzzled. She looked at Darren and said, "Mr. Crace. Why do you ask so?""Please don't get me wrong. I'm from the Giant Wood Pa
Annette did not know that Leonard had long reported to Connor about her trip to the apartment building.Ever since Annette revealed her plans to move back, Connor had arranged for people to pretend to be paparazzi to wait outside the apartment building.Annette knew that she could not return to the apartment recently, so she planned to sublet the place.She called the landlord, yet the landlord told her that the apartment had been sold to someone else.Annette asked for the new landlord's phone number. She hesitated for a moment and then dialed it.As soon as she got through, a male voice sounded on the other side of the line. "Hello, Ms. Hall."Annette was stunned for a moment. How did the new landlord know her name?Also, his voice sounded a little familiar."You sound familiar...""This is Hari, Mr. Norman's secretary."Hari felt a little strange. Annette called him, but she did not know who he was."Oh, I'm sorry. I dialed the wrong number.""It's OK."Annette hung up the phone an
Annette picked up her knife and fork and began to eat.She was a little worried. 'Can I really marry Connor?I am not confident.'Annette glanced at Connor secretly. She had to admit that her attitude was indeed different from before.In the past, she was sure that she would not marry Connor.But now, she was hesitating.Annette no longer considered moving out of Connor's villa.As Connor said, even if she moved out, he would still follow her. It would be safer to stay in his house.She put all her attention on her students.Marcus did well. He managed to join the school basketball team and became a regular.His talent in leadership won others' recognition, and they wanted him to lead the team.On Friday afternoon, Annette was watching the game on the sports court when she received a call from Fiona."Annette, come to me in the hospital.""Mrs. White, you are no longer my leader and can't lead me around by the nose.""This time, it is for Kyle.""If it is about Kyle, I can't go. I hav
"I heard from Leonard that you just went to the hospital. Are you feeling unwell?" Connor asked.Annette shook her head and said, "No, I went to visit a friend.""Your colleagues?"Annette did not want to lie. She said, "It was Kyle.""Is he in the hospital?""Yes.""Is he sick?"Annette shook her head. "A car accident.""Judging from your expression, he seems to be seriously injured.""I don't know. I didn't go in to see him. Roxanne told me that Kyle was in a car accident and that he might be crippled. That's why I went there.""Why didn't you go in and ask about his condition?"Tears welled up in Annette's eyes.Connor was a little displeased."What are you thinking about?"He thought that he could see through people's minds, but Annette was an exception.Annette looked at him. She didn't know who else could ease her worries.Now that Connor was in front of her, she thought that she should grasp the chance.She reached out and grabbed Connor's sleeve. "It was my fault."Her voice t
Annette's tone was calm. "When I was young, I couldn't figure out why my father didn't like me even though I didn't do anything wrong. As I grew up, I finally understood. The so-called fate was just an excuse for those who had lost their courage. Kyle, stop complaining. It has happened already. You should not give up on yourself, but try to stand up again. Life is long. Do you want to give up from now on?"Kyle looked at her with despair in his eyes. "What else can I do with this broken leg?""You can do whatever you want.""I want time to go back. I want you to come back to me," Kyle said as his tears streamed down.Annette sighed, "Do you think you will be happy if you marry me?"She said sincerely, "Kyle, from the night you were with Lena, our future had been destroyed. If another woman encountered the same situation as me, maybe she would forgive you, but I wouldn't. Since you know who my father is, I won't hide it from you. I hate him. My so-called family has hurt me deeply. What
On the bus, Annette's phone rang.She picked it up and said, "Mr. Crace, what can I do for you?""I asked Alpha Connor out for a meal. Please come and join us.""You two may have important things to talk about. I guess I shouldn't be there," Annette refused.Darren laughed heartily. "You have to come. Alpha Connor agreed to have a meal with me because of you. How about this? I'll send my secretary to your office to pick you up.""There's no need, Mr. Crace. I took my students out for a basketball match. Just tell me the address, and I'll go there.""Okay, I'll get someone to send you the address later."After hanging up the phone, Annette took a deep breath. She got off the bus at the station. When she was waiting for Darren's message, she called Connor."Did Mr. Crace ask you out?""Yes. I am just about to set off. Why did you agree to go out for a meal with him?"Annette asked in surprise, "Weren't you the first to agree?"Hearing Annette's question, Connor smiled. Darren was indeed
Annette snorted coldly. She immediately said, "Then have you ever thought that her confession to others was her business and had nothing to do with us? Why should we take the blame for her confession to others? This morning, when I came to school, I found that there were people on the forum who slandered me for no reason. I'm so innocent. Won't I feel wronged when I face so many people's slander? Vincent, I won't hurt any students. I didn't do this. If you insist that I did it, just like Sara said, please show me the evidence. Otherwise, go away."Vincent was claiming the moral high ground to seek justice for his student.Now that he could not get it, he was reluctant to let go of the issue.They stood on both sides of the dining table, their eyes full of anger.Annette's phone rang. She bent over and took out her phone from her bag to pick it up.Marcus' voice came from the other side of the line. "Annette, where are you?""What do you want?""Can't I call you if there's nothing?""F
The next day, after breakfast, the doctor came to check on Connor again. Annette went to work after she made sure that he was OK.However, she didn't go to work for two days and had no idea that there was big news at the university.The matter of Matilda pursuing Connor was exposed by someone.This weekend, people made fun of Matilda, the cutest girl on campus. Annette was the last person to hear about the news, but people thought she was the one who posted this issue on the forum.In the office, Annette was sitting in front of her desk. She checked the posts on the forum and had mixed feelings.There should be evidence if they were so sure that she did it.But people simply assumed that Annette was the one who did it.The comment said, "The four student instructors are all suspicious. But Annette was the most suspicious one because she used to be the cutest girl on campus. She could definitely understand how Matilda felt at that time. That was why Annette felt jealous when she saw Ma
Annette took a deep breath. For the first time, she realized how difficult it was to deliver food for Connor.She walked to the door of the office. When Hari saw her, he quickly got up and said, "Ms. Hall, you are finally here. Mr. Norman has been waiting for you. Please come in."When Annette pushed open the door and entered Connor's office, Connor's face darkened."You really enjoy chatting with Zachary. I called you more than an hour ago and you just arrived. Aren't you afraid that I will be hungry?"Annette was not angry. She said, "It has nothing to do with Zachary. After you called, I ordered food for you and came out in less than ten minutes. But when I came to the gate of the company, I met the staff of the Training Department. I was taken to the Training Department and delayed for a while. Amanda sent me up.""I think you didn't dare to come up and went to the Training Department to ask Amanda for help.""Yeah, yeah. You're so smart. Come over and eat your lunch."Connor got
Annette felt that Zachary had made the right choice this time.So she did not say anything and just listened to him complaining.In the end, he said helplessly, "I also know that she might not give up so easily. After all, she has always said that she has gone through the most difficult times with me. How can such a person easily make her efforts in vain?""Then what are you going to do if she continues to pester you?" Annette asked.Zachary looked at her and smiled, "Since I have made such a decision, I have to pay the price. The worst outcome is I can't work here anymore. Well, I don't care how long she will keep pestering me."Annette frowned and said, "But you just came back.""I gave up a good job abroad for her. Then I'll give up my job here just to stay away from her. It's nothing. I won't mind if I have to start everything from scratch."Annette did not try to persuade him. After all, Zachary was a grown man. He had already thought it through. She had no right to interfere.Th
If they had gone out alone to eat and had been discovered by Jennifer, she would have been the one who was beaten up.But why would Jennifer call her in this situation?Jennifer said, "I'm upset. I went through the hardest time with Zachary. Now that he is successful, he doesn't want me anymore. I knew that men were all like this, but I still felt hurt. I felt that the love I had given him for all these years was not worth it. Ms. Hall, I can't just let go like this.""Jennifer, did you call me because you wanted me to do something for you?""I just wanted you to ask him why he treated me like this. What exactly did I do wrong? Why did he have to care about other women? If I were that bad in his eyes, why did he choose to be with me back then?" Jennifer said, heartbroken.Annette thought for a moment and said awkwardly, "Jennifer, this is your business. Actually, I'm in no position to interfere.""Ms. Hall, you don't like me, right? So when you heard that I broke up with Zachary, do y
Matilda didn't know that Connor was not looking at her, but at Annette behind her.He turned to the bodyguards and said, "Go and stop the students who are rushing out.""Yes."The bodyguards walked back to the basketball court.Connor walked up to Matilda, his face still cold and ruthless."I was chatting with the head of the school and recommended the campus belle casually. If you like me and want to be my mate simply because of that, I will be more than happy to call him and ask him to replace you."If you want to be my mate, because you are coveting the title of the Blood Moon Pack's Luna, then you'd better stop fantasizing. Let me make it clear to you. You're not good enough to be my woman.""That's not what I meant." Matilda shook her head and was about to cry. "You got me wrong. I like you because of who you are. I swear. I admire you so much."Connor sneered, "Do you know what kind of person I am?"Matilda took a deep breath. "You are handsome, gentle, kind, well-read, and a ma
They came to the middle of the basketball court.Melissa stepped forward and took the lead in picking up the microphone. "Alright, everyone, quiet down now. As we begin today's lesson, please put your phones on silent mode."She walked over to Connor and handed him the microphone. "Alpha Connor, you may begin."Connor nodded at her, and then she walked to the side with great excitement.Standing next to Alanna, she whispered excitedly, "Alpha Connor looked at me."Alanna was unhappy. "Why did you get to be the host?""Who else? Did you want to be the host? Your voice was shaking.""Either Annette or Sara could do it."Melissa immediately said, "If you have a problem with me, just say it."Sara hurriedly said, "Enough. It's not a big deal, so just stop arguing, alright? Otherwise, Alpha Connor might hear you."Then Alanna and Melissa glanced at each other and paid attention to the lecture.Connor said, "Hello, everyone. As usual, we won't be talking about theories today, since your pro
When they were back in the office, Melissa sighed, "Darren is putting us in a dilemma, isn't he? How are we supposed to fix this? No matter what we do, we will offend someone for sure."Alanna rolled her eyes at Melissa and said, "Then why did you say that back in his office?""None of you said anything. What could I do? At least one of us should say something after he finished, right? Otherwise, he would fire us."Alanna said helplessly, "But what should we do now? I don't want to be fired."Hearing Alanna's words, Sara looked at Annette.Sara asked, "Annette, do you have any ideas?"Those in the office looked at Annette.Annette thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I've got something."Alanna moved closer to her. "Annette, tell us. What is it?"Annette said, "The multimedia classroom is small and crowded, right? But there's plenty of room on the basketball court."As soon as she finished speaking, Alanna and Melissa looked at her with disapproving looks.Melissa said, "That's impos
"Annette, you dare to bargain with me now?"Seeing that Connor was about to press down, Annette wanted to get up and run away.Connor had already grabbed her legs, holding her underneath.Annette was anxious. She said, "Connor, you are breaking your word.""We have a saying in the business field. All is fair in war. Countless facts have proved that promises made too easily are often unreliable. Remember it, OK? I'm teaching you stuff. As for tuition..."After he finished speaking, he pecked her lips. "A kiss will do."Seeing that he was going to take advantage of her again, Annette shouted anxiously, "I didn't ask you to teach me anything! You know what? Don't push too far! I'm still mad. I have accounts to settle with you.""Yeah? I'm all ears. Since when did I offend you?""Get off me first, and then we'll talk.""Nice try. I've seen similar tricks so many times that I stop taking them seriously after I reach ten. Now tell me."Annette was furious and thought, 'He is so good at humi
