Chapter 107 Falling in Love with Her
Last Updated:
2024-12-28 18:01:41Annabelle immediately frowned and abruptly pushed away, staring at Gauge, "What are you doing?"
Her expression was as if she had been touched by something unclean.
Gauge was now certain that she had absolutely no interest in herself.
This was really rare, and a little bit disappointing.
"Sit back."
After Gauge finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
The classmates thought that Gauge would be eager to drive Annabelle away, but unexpectedly, he was first subjected to Annabelle's cold words, and now he voluntarily let someone sit beside him.
Everyone couldn't help but speculate, could it be that Gauge had fallen for this new girl, Anna? This girl with a shady background, who looked like a fox spirit?
In an instant, those Gauge's fangirls were greatly disappointed.
"That female classmate, please sit down, we are about to start the class."
The teacher spoke up to remind Annabelle, who was standing at the back row.

My friend then stopped in his tracks and quickly shook his head, saying, "I had a date with a beautiful senior to have dinner!"Gauge shook his head in silence, ignoring his friend and walked straight towards the music room.Annabelle had just arrived at the piano room.The classical guitar priced at 390,000 is indeed very different. Besides being expensive, it has no flaws at all. The tone and texture are all so captivating that Annabelle is completely immersed and unable to extricate herself.In my mind, Kendrick's face, sometimes cold and sometimes insolent, emerged again.I have to say, it was really great to listen to him and buy this piano.As the song ended, a clean male voice came from behind her."The piano is good, but unfortunately your finger technique was too stiff, and the melody of the second section was also not quite right."Annabelle frowned and looked over as she saw Gauge walk in with a guitar on his back.

At that moment, Gauge said to her, "I drove, shall I take you home?"Annabelle looked at Kendrick in the distance, feeling a bit distracted. She hastily said, "No need, my friend is coming to pick me up."Gauge shrugged and continued with a cold expression, "Well, then I'll leave first."After speaking, he walked up to the Porsche 911 parked on the side of the road, opened the car door, and got in.Annabelle also walked quickly to Kendrick's front: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"Kendrick said with a displeased expression, "Thank goodness."Annabelle glanced at his face, was he angry?Did he think she was slow to come out? But she didn't ask him to come and pick her up in the first place, so who asked him to come?Annabelle's face also drooped."I didn't pay attention to the time while practicing the piano and accidentally got late.""Who was the boy who just came out with you?""Classmate."

Annabelle thought that no one was criticizing her anymore because her classmates' gossip had died down, but in reality, it was due to Kendrick's intervention.However, Kendrick both wanted her to know his good intentions and felt that doing such a small thing would be seeking credit, which was not generous enough.Driving, Jaime glanced at his boss's expression through the rearview mirror and keenly sensed his thoughts.Did you want to take credit for this, but felt too embarrassed to say it?So, Jaime cleared his throat and began, "Mrs. Gregory may not know, but actually Mr. Gregory...""Concentrate on driving your car."Kendrick abruptly interrupted Jaime's words.Jaime was completely devastated by the criticism.He was well-intentioned, but obviously the CEO did not appreciate it, nor did he need it.He had recently seen Mr. Gregory being gentle and indulgent towards Mrs. Gregory so much that he forgot the true nature

"Mr. Gregory, this is the budget for the second half of the year sent by the branch office. Please take a look," the woman said as she handed over the document, but her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the hands held by Kendrick and Annabelle.The woman smiled, but her face had already stiffened.As soon as she saw the president's exclusive elevator being used just now, she knew Kendrick had arrived. She quickly adjusted her clothes, touched up her lipstick, and happily waited at the elevator entrance.Unexpectedly, the CEO led Annabelle out, holding her hand tightly. When has the CEO ever treated a woman like this before?Kendrick paused for a moment and looked at the woman who was blocking their way.Not a familiar face, I recalled for a moment, it was someone newly selected from personnel to replace one of the secretaries who had resigned due to illness, I think her name was Zoie Shepard?Kendrick took the documents with one hand, whi

Whitesage's business partner will come to sign the contract in a while, and the whole process will be conducted in foreign language. After signing the contract, there will be a short press conference, and at that time, we just need to find a way to bring Annabelle to the venue. She will definitely make a fool of herself.She was a girl who came out of a mountain valley, and it was impossible for her to speak foreign language. The journalists would definitely ask her some questions, and she would surely be shy and awkward, completely appearing as someone who couldn't be on stage.From just now, it could be seen that she was blushing and looking embarrassed as Mr. Gregory held her hand.Mr. Gregory could not have liked this kind of coy woman.Annabelle's impulsive act of barging into the venue would undoubtedly make Mr. Gregory even more disgusted.With this thought in mind, Zoie's lips curled up and she happily went to set up the venue.After

Annabelle turned down the corridor and arrived outside meeting room number 12, coming to a halt.She couldn't go in to deliver the recipe, so she was willing to make a trip, just to move around as she had been sitting in the office for too long and wanted to stretch her legs.Coincidentally, I was also curious about what Kendrick was like at work.After all, Kendrick was a scoundrel and a beast in private. It's hard to imagine how he could appear so serious and dignified during meetings. I really want to see how he managed to make so many people think he was aloof, reserved, and gentlemanly.This meeting room had floor-to-ceiling glass walls, allowing a view of the inside.Through the glass wall, Annabelle saw Kendrick, dressed in a suit, had already finished signing with the partner and stood up to shake hands and take a photo with the representative.His eyes were deep and profound like the blue sea, and when he smiled, the corners of his

Annabelle instantly got goosebumps, pursed her lips, and really didn't dare to retort him anymore.At this moment, the foreigner had also arrived outside the conference room. Kendrick introduced in French, "This is my wife, Annabelle."Then he switched to Mandarin and said to Annabelle, "Annabelle, this is Mr. Leroy Aguirre, the CEO of LS Company."Leroy obviously wanted to greet Annabelle by touching cheeks with their customary manner, but upon seeing Kendrick possessively hooking his wife's waist, as if forbidding anyone from getting close to her, Leroy had no choice but to conform to local customs and extend their hand.Annabelle extended her hand generously.Leroy greeted Annabelle in French and complimented her as a beautiful Oriental woman.Annabelle smiled lightly and responded to him in fluent French.After a formal handshake, upon realizing that Annabelle could speak French, the other person smiled and said, "Ms. Sanchez, you

Kendrick called the HR director and Zoie to the president's office.Annabelle sat on the side of the sofa, flipping through a magazine absentmindedly. Although she didn't care in her heart, she couldn't help but listen to Kendrick's conversation on the other side. Her head quietly peeked out from the magazine, watching over there.Kendrick sat behind the large desk with a dark expression on his face, his icy eyes emitting a chilling glare that sent shivers down one's spine."Director Li, is this the employee you promoted out of turn?"Kendrick threw the recipe he had just now on the table.The human resources director was a middle-aged man with a bald head, his hands trembling like a sieve.As for Zoie, she seemed to be pretending to be calm, but her face had already turned pale.Annabelle couldn't help but tut in her mind. She didn't expect this old fox to be like the King of Hell in the company. Her curiosity grew stronger, so she c

Scott nodded after hearing what she said.Julissa waited for him to follow up, but he didn’t say anything more.She had no choice but to guide the conversation herself.“You don’t know who she is?”“There are so many people who like me. How could I possibly guess?”Julissa wiped an imaginary bead of sweat from her forehead—whatever, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with the narcissistic CEO. After all, if anyone had the right to be cocky, it was him.“She said her name was Mandheling.”Scott froze for a second, then looked at her.“Isn’t that a type of coffee bean?”“Ah, right…”Julissa scratched her head, thinking for a moment.“It was Heather! Yes, that’s the name!”She hadn’t really bothered to remember, because the way that woman had looked down her nose at her had left a bad taste in her mouth.And people who rubbed Julissa the wrong way—well, she didn’t waste the brain space on them.Scott nodded slightly after hearing the name.Julissa raised an eyebrow—so he did know this “Ma

“God of Food?” Scott chuckled. “That actually suits you.”“It’s not that kind of god…” Julissa waved her hand. “It’s a term from the Chinese zodiac and five elements thing—never mind, I can’t explain it well. Just go with the vibe.”Scott clearly wasn’t interested in diving into astrology. He simply gazed at her up close.“So, you’re not marrying into their family anymore, and you’re still eating their eggs. Is that appropriate?”Julissa suddenly recalled her mom’s earlier warning—sure enough, moms do know best. Her mom had predicted that Scott would be feeling a little off about it.So Julissa explained seriously:“My mom already returned the favor. She gave Mrs. Zamora some wild veggies and seafood, so the eggs are totally fair game. Besides, Mrs. Zamora is like a real aunt to me—she’s watched me grow up. Even if I’m not going to be her daughter-in-law, that relationship won’t change.”After that, she tugged on Scott’s sleeve pitifully.“Don’t overthink it, okay?”Scott stared at he

Scott seemed perfectly normal—but underneath that calm surface, something was clearly off.Like how he deliberately looked away after their brief eye contact. Or how he wore a faint smile, but there wasn’t even a hint of warmth in his eyes.It was obvious he didn’t want to talk about it right now, so Julissa swallowed her unease and headed to the dining room.Soon after, Scott returned as well, freshly washed up. They had breakfast together, then changed into work attire and got ready to leave for the office.Just as they were about to head out, Mrs. Hickman called Julissa back.From the look on her face, she clearly wanted to speak to her alone. So Julissa told Scott to go down first and start the car—she’d be right behind him.Once he was gone, her mom asked, “Does Scott know about you and Liam?”“He knows… a bit.”Back when she and Liam had just broken up, she met Mr. Nichols. He had even comforted her during that time.Although thinking back now, it was likely that Scott alread

Julissa spit out the toothpaste foam and immediately walked out of the bathroom.Liam was standing at the entranceway and turned to look at her. Surprise and joy flickered in his eyes.“Julissa, you’re home.”“Mm, just for the night,” she mumbled, her words unclear due to the toothpaste in her mouth. Her gaze quickly shifted toward Scott’s bedroom door.Scott appeared soon after, dressed casually.When Liam saw him, his eyes were filled with shock—and a flicker of pain. The smile that was just starting to form vanished instantly.Scott’s expression was neutral. He gave Liam a small nod, then turned to greet Mrs. Hickman politely:“Good morning, Auntie.”Mrs. Hickman smiled and nodded back, “I’ve made breakfast. You and Julissa can eat before you go.”“Okay,” Scott said, then turned to Julissa.“Done with the bathroom?”Julissa blinked in confusion and shook her head. “Almost.”“I’ll dish out breakfast then,” he said.As he passed by the entrance, he casually asked Liam,“Have you eate
I wish it were you Chapter 976 Take It Off Before Sleeping
Julissa quickly pressed a hand against Scott’s chest—trying it on in front of him? That’d be like wrapping herself up with a bow and offering herself straight into the lion’s den!“You go back to your room right now. I’ll let you know after I try it on,” she said firmly.“What if I just turn around and face the other way?” Mr. Nichols offered half-heartedly.Julissa glared playfully. “As if I’d believe you wouldn’t sneak a peek. Go! If my parents find out, we’re both dead.”Only then did Scott reluctantly get off the bed and allow himself to be pushed out the door.After he left, Julissa closed the door and quietly changed into the lingerie he’d gifted her.It fit… perfectly.Seriously?Scott’s judgment is this accurate?Her cheeks grew warm again.No matter what, she really loved these gifts. And thank goodness she hadn’t discovered the surprise earlier in front of her parents. That would've been so awkward.But then again… if she had found it earlier, Scott probably would’ve come up

Julissa didn’t ask too much and decided to check what else was hidden in the box first.Underneath the perfume box, there was a small paper pouch. She squeezed it—it was soft, like fabric.A scarf? Julissa thought, but quickly dismissed the idea.Scarves are one-size-fits-all, and Scott had said he wasn’t sure about the size—so it couldn’t be something like a scarf or handkerchief.Clothing, then?But what kind of clothing fits into such a tiny pouch?Julissa already had a vague suspicion. She glanced at Scott and saw, under the soft glow of the nightlight, his face was cast in a layer of shadow… filled with teasing ambiguity.His eyes, too, were unmistakably laced with desire.Her heart started beating faster, her cheeks warming. She bit her lip and opened the pouch, pulling out the contents.It was a black lace lingerie set.Her face instantly flushed red-hot.“Scott, you—how could you…”How could he give her something so intimate?But deep down… Julissa liked it.Compared to food o
I wish it were you Chapter 974 Who Says Mr. Nichols Isn’t Romantic
Julissa thought about it—after all, he had bought the dessert for her—so, although reluctant, the stingy little Julissa grudgingly handed another piece to Scott.But as she picked it up, she noticed something odd.There was something else hidden under the oil paper lining the box.The bottom of the box clearly wasn’t flat. It looked like there was a small box and some soft items tucked underneath.Julissa looked at Scott in surprise—only to see him watching her with a smile.She immediately realized it—there was something fishy about this dessert box he gave her.Carefully, she lifted the remaining pastries, wrapped them in a clean napkin, and set them aside on the nightstand. Then, she removed the layer of stiff greaseproof paper beneath them.Sure enough, underneath was a small, palm-sized box tied with a ribbon—obviously the real gift Mr. Nichols had prepared for her.Julissa instantly took out the box and excitedly untied the bow, gently opening the lid.Inside was a bottle of per

Scott turned around, his eyes dark and intense, and asked in a low voice,“Are you sure?”There was a teasing, ambiguous note hidden in his tone.Julissa blinked and tried to cover up her true thoughts with a clumsy excuse:“It’s just… I haven’t seen you in a few days. I wanted to talk to you…”“You’re not worried your parents might find out?”“It’s fine… the door’s shut. They won’t hear anything…” she mumbled.Scott then pulled her directly into his arms, lifted her chin, and asked with a smirk,“So, what is it Julissa wants to talk about?”At that moment, even if she did have something important to say, Julissa had completely forgotten it.“Uh…”Before she could finish, Scott already leaned in and kissed her.At first, she was tense, worried that they’d wake up her parents—but soon enough, all those thoughts faded away.By the time the kiss ended, she realized they were now both lying on her tiny bed.Julissa stared at the man in front of her.In the dim light, his eyes seemed even

“I was not thinking anything like that!”Julissa hurriedly denied it, then reached up to touch her face.Whoa—hot as a little furnace.She grew even more flustered and muttered, “Anyway, you go ahead and shower. If there’s a problem…”But then she thought, even if something did go wrong while he was in there, it’s not like he could call her in for help. So she added quickly,“If there’s a problem… you’ll just have to deal with it yourself. I’m leaving now.”And with that, Julissa practically fled the bathroom.Scott couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her flushed face.She always acted so bold and easygoing, sometimes even daring to tease him first—but now, she was completely shy and flustered.At the end of the day, she was still a kid at heart.Meanwhile, Julissa had returned to her bedroom.Lying on her bed, she couldn’t help but wonder—this wasn’t the first time they’d stayed under the same roof, so why was she acting so shy just because he was visiting her home?Though “shy”
