"I didn't mean that." Annette looked at William and Barbara and said, "I was here to visit you, and I thought there was no need to talk about my boyfriend. He and I are not married, and we might break up in the future. I don't want you to worry about me."

William said, "Annette, it's OK. If you don't want to talk about it, then just don't. When you get married, we will be happy if you invite us. Barbara, am I right?"

Barbara nodded. "That's right. Let's change the topic and enjoy the meal."

Jennifer was displeased and frowned. "William, Barbara, since Annette is in a relationship, and you like her so much, you should be more concerned about her. What if Annette is fooled by the guy?"

Barbara looked at William and felt that Jennifer's words made sense.

Annette's mother was dead, and Annette was all by herself now. She was such a pretty girl, and what if she was fooled?

"Annette, is your boyfriend reliable? He is a formal employee in the Norman Group, right?" Barbara asked.

    Jennifer was being rude and she got it. But Barbara was confused about why Zachary also acted strangely.Annette smiled, "Jennifer, you can be at ease now. I already have a boyfriend."After listening to Annette's words, Connor finally knew why she asked him to come here.It turned out that she had been questioned by Zachary's girlfriend just now.Jennifer looked at Annette and nodded.Barbara, who knew little about the situation, asked, "Connor, I heard that you are working at the Norman Group. Which department are you in? May I know your family members?"Connor smiled. "I'm in the management department. My parents have passed away. I have an elder brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister.""Then, you must be under a lot of pressure financially."Connor smiled, "It's fine. They are all quite easy to support."Barbara thought for a moment and continued, "Have you bought a house in Akron? Do you have a car? If you get married, will your siblings live with you?""I have houses a

    Annette patted his arm and said, "How about just focusing on your food."Then she smiled and said to Barbara, "Barbara, there's no hurry about getting married. I've just graduated this year, and I want to wait till I'm more settled with my job. I can also test him at the same time."Barbara shook her head and smiled.Zachary raised his glass and said to Connor, "Mr. Norman, congratulations on finding such a wonderful girlfriend."Connor also raised his glass and clinked it with Zachary. He said calmly, "Thank you. Ann told me that you work in Kamil Mall. Is that right?""Yes. I have just been transferred back to Akron from the headquarters, and I am in charge of the mall management and operation of the Akron branch."Connor nodded. "Mr. Joseph, I presume you are Prince Charming to many women. Well, in my opinion, a man with a choice shouldn't make things difficult for himself when choosing the love of his life."Connor was being subtle, yet everyone knew what he meant.Annette peeked

    On Sunday, Lucas and Alina of the Blood Moon Pack came to Connor's villa together.At noon, Marcus also came back from school to have lunch.He was in sportswear and sweaty.As soon as he entered the courtyard, Alina said, "Marcus, why don't you change your clothes before coming back? Don't you feel uncomfortable?""I'm in a hurry to come back and eat with you." Marcus grabbed his clothes and sniffed his top. "You are right. I stink. I'll take a quick shower. I'll be back in ten minutes."Marcus left, and Alina shook her head speechlessly.She said to Annette, "I can still remember what Marcus looked like when he was a little boy. Time flies. I am envious of your age.""Ms. Grace, come on. You were once our age."Alina sighed and looked up at the sky. "That's right. I was happy when I was your age. That was the happiest time of my life. I hope that time can turn back."For some reason, Annette thought of Connor.Alina's happiness must have something to do with Connor."By the way," Al

    "Ms. Grace, one's hard work is always for his future, not the past." Annette smiled, "Don't indulge yourself in the past."Alina put on a faint smile. "Ms. Hall, that's right and you are indeed a good teacher."They smiled at each other and drank their coffee.Marcus entered the living room and sat beside Lucas and Connor.Connor asked, "What were you talking about with Annette just now?"Marcus smiled, "I was just teasing her."Lucas said, "This is nice. In the past, the atmosphere in our family was always suffocating. I feel much more relieved to hear such hearty laughter today."Connor shook his head. "Marcus is always naughty.""Why didn't you blame Annette? She wouldn't go easy on me.""I will certainly take her side if you bully her," Connor said with a smile.Lucas smiled. He suddenly said, "Connor, you have to be more careful. When Alina had a gathering with her friends, she heard them talking about Jessica and the Luna of the Black Thorn Pack. They were telling others that th

    The next day, Annette went to school. A new week began. Soon, the week of work was coming to an end.On Friday noon, she was going to have lunch in the cafeteria, only to find that few people were there today.Annette asked Sara in confusion, "Why are there so few people today?"Sara whispered, "They have all gone to make preparations."Annette thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell me they are preparing for Alpha Connor's lecture in the afternoon.""What do you think?" Sara laughed. "This afternoon, it's gonna be more lively than the university's anniversary."Annette shook her head and smiled, "I can imagine the scene in the multimedia classroom this afternoon."Sara asked, "Do you want to go and check it out?""Yes. Why not? I'm quite curious about Alpha Connor's lecture."Sara shrugged. "Me too. Then, we'll check it out later."Annette returned to the office and took a nap. When she woke up, she found that Alanna and Melissa had not been back.She was a little confused and ask

    Annette guessed from their conversation that something interesting must have happened just now.Before she could ask anything, Sara said, "What happened just now?"Melissa looked at Alanna and said, "I don't think so. It's quite embarrassing.""Let me tell you. When Alpha Connor was giving the lecture, a girl suddenly got up from her seat and unrolled a banner. It read, 'Alpha Connor, I want to marry you.'"Sara almost spat out the coffee in her mouth. She exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! Is it true?"Annette asked, "What's Alpha Connor's reaction? Was he shocked?""Not at all. Alpha Connor is a sophisticated man, okay? He looked at the banner and said calmly, 'Thank you for your affection. As a student, you'd better focus on your study. Sit down. And don't waste others' time.'"Melissa shrugged and said, "After class, I saw a few girls talking around the girl who held the banner. I heard her say proudly, 'I think I am brave'. How could she be proud of such shameless behavior?"Sara sighed

    When it was time to get off work, Alanna and Melissa left first. They had made an appointment to go shopping together.Annette went out with Sara. At the school gate, she saw Connor's car.She held Sara's hand and walked to the bus stop guiltily.In the car, Connor smiled. He knew that Annette did not dare to get in the car.When Annette arrived at the bus stop, the phone in her bag vibrated.She took out her phone and checked it. It was a message from Connor."Get in the car at the intersection."Annette said, "Sara, I have something to deal with. I won't take the bus here. I'll go to the next station."Sara nodded. "Sure. I'll see you tomorrow.""Okay." Annette waved goodbye to Sara and left.She ran to the intersection and saw Connor leaning against the car door and waiting for her.They got into the car. Just as Leonard was about to drive, Annette saw Sara standing under a tree not far away, looking at them in surprise.Annette said hurriedly, "Wait a minute. Stop the car."Leonar

    "It feels good to have someone on my side," Annette said happily."I've always been on your side, and yet I've never seen you so happy."Annette glanced at Connor and smiled, "You don't understand. A man's support is not the same as a woman's.""How so?""Your motivation isn't pure. It's mixed with lust. On the contrary, women support others, simply because they want to. I support you because I think you're a great guy. That's it. That's the difference," Annette explained seriously."Genders are irrelevant when one's feelings get involved. No one will be good to others unconditionally, whether it is your other half or your friends. Sara is no exception. She is doing this to return the favor," Connor said.Annette immediately retorted, "Then what about Roxanne? Why does she want to be my bestie?""Because of your trust and fondness for her. After all, it's hard in this world to find someone of the same kind who trusts you and is fond of you unconditionally," Connor said, spreading his

    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
