Chapter 110 No Other Man Was Allowed to Look at Her
Last Updated:
2024-12-28 18:04:55Annabelle 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

The words of the HR director interrupted her thoughts, and he scolded the female secretary sternly, "You, a mere secretary, dare to think you can surpass the president's wife? Only the president's wife understands French. Otherwise, it would be a big joke if this document was given to the foreign party, causing significant losses. Don't say anything else, go and handle your resignation!"Annabelle sneered at this reprimand.The HR director kept referring to the CEO's wife as "Madam President" and also took the opportunity to praise her French skills. It seems like they are someone who knows how to flatter others, but in the workplace, everyone understands the art of communication.Someone like her, who couldn't speak nicely, would probably have been excluded early on.Zoie suddenly burst into tears and said, "Mr. Gregory, I truly know I was wrong. Please give me another chance."Without even lifting an eyelid, Kendrick coldly said, "Get out."

Just as his scorching palm was about to become even more audacious, Annabelle still bit his lip, although not as forcefully as before.Kendrick slightly stepped back and whispered, "What's wrong?""I couldn't breathe."Annabelle glared at him angrily. Due to her lack of experience, she didn't know how to breathe while kissing, and her little face had turned as red as a tomato, with even her eye circles becoming red.Kendrick chuckled softly, his finger gently caressing her lips that had been kissed, making them appear even redder and more tender."After that, I practiced with you more."What are you practicing? Are you practicing how to breathe when he kissed you?Annabelle blushed and silently cursed Kendrick as a pervert. In order to divert attention, she quickly changed the subject."By the way, that decorative fish tank, did you make it?"She flashed away from Kendrick's embrace and came to the front of the landscape tank.When s

No matter what, he had eaten rice for several more years than Annabelle, so how could he not see through Annabelle's little thoughts?He was very certain that when Annabelle heard that another girl regularly came to take care of his aquarium, her heart must have felt a little sour, so she indirectly suggested the idea of bursting the tank.He just didn't expect that his own little rabbit was also a little scheming and talented little schemer.Annabelle turned her head and glanced at him, saying lightly, "That's not what I meant."With a swift movement, she flashed out of the old fox's arms.Kendrick smiled and said, "Well, since you know how to take care of the grass tank, why don't you help me in the future?""Not interested."She did indeed enjoy creating terrariums, which was influenced by Melvin and she also learned it herself.But the greatest joy of this matter was to personally take care of each water plant, to personall

“I missed you, so I flew over.”Kendrick smiled as he wrapped his arm around Anna’s waist, leaning in for a kiss.Annabelle dodged slightly, making his lips land on the corner of her mouth instead.“Are you mad?” he asked.“Jax is still here,” she whispered, her face instantly turning red.Kendrick glanced over at Jax.The man was standing not too far away, very tactfully admiring the sky, the sea, the sand—basically everything except looking in their direction.Satisfied, Kendrick captured Anna’s lips in a proper kiss, though he didn’t linger too long.Even if Jax wasn’t watching, her colleagues were also sneaking glances.It wasn’t that he minded showing affection in public.He just didn’t want other men to see her blushing.“Tired?”Annabelle shook her head, feeling a little embarrassed. “I slept the whole way.”“When does filming start?”Her excitement was obvious as she replied, “The director said the weather will be great tomorrow morning, so we can start shooting then!”Her exp
I wish it were you Chapter 659 Boss Isn’t Going Anywhere
The group was set to take a seaplane to their final destination—a small island. As they got closer, excitement among the crew grew. Most of them, aside from the director, cinematographer, and the the Murphy Group’s accompanying staff, were regular workers. Their jobs were demanding. Shooting a commercial was manageable since it had a short production cycle, but working on a film or TV series meant being on set for months—sometimes half a year or more. Even if they had money, they rarely had the time to take a vacation. So, getting a free trip to the Maldives? That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was no surprise they were thrilled—and naturally, their attitude toward Annabelle had warmed up significantly. Of course, that hadn’t always been the case. At the script meeting, she had been shy and unfamiliar with the team, and they hadn’t been particularly friendly either. Everyone knew she had requested script changes, and people tended to resist change. They thought she
I wish it were you Chapter 658 Where’s Her Leading Man?
Annabelle was first surprised, then quickly realized—this was exactly the kind of thing Kendrick would do. At the same time, she couldn’t help but complain inwardly. That guy! He actually kept this a secret from her, making her think she’d have to film in the freezing waters of Elfhedge. She had worried for *days* over nothing. And really, if the production was already planning to shoot at a warm southern beach, why did he have to go *this* far? Whether she was annoyed that he kept it from her or upset that he was being so extravagant, deep down, all she felt was warmth. Ever since being with Kendrick, her entire life had been arranged perfectly. She didn’t have to worry about anything—he always planned ahead for her, considering every little detail. Because of that, she had grown more and more dependent on him, to the point where she was starting to lose her independence. But Annabelle also understood—her past resilience and self-sufficiency hadn’t come from an inherent love
I wish it were you Chapter 657 Everything Will Be Fine
Wrapped in a thick down jacket, Annabelle sat in the car driven by Jax, feeling both the dread of the winter sea and the nerves of her first-ever film shoot. Thinking about today’s filming made her uneasy. According to the script, she had to wear a thin wedding dress and jump into the freezing ocean in the middle of winter. And she wouldn’t be allowed to come out immediately—there were also underwater scenes to be shot. Could the waters near Elfhedge really produce the crystal-clear effect the script required? She let out a long sigh. Why had she been so stubborn about changing the script? Clearly, playing smart didn’t suit her—every little *trick* she had pulled ended up backfiring on herself. *T＿T* She glanced at her phone, debating whether to message Kendrick, but in the end, she put it away. It should be nighttime where he was. Kendrick had left the day before on a sudden business trip—something even he hadn’t expected. Before leaving, he had kissed her cheek and told h
I wish it were you Chapter 656 A Heavy Topic
For days, an unease had lingered in Annabelle’s heart—the assassin who kept targeting Kendrick. That *Mr. Whitney* was like a ticking time bomb buried beneath their seemingly peaceful lives. They had no idea when he would strike again, bringing the next “explosion.” **“What are you thinking about?”** Kendrick asked. Annabelle turned to look at him. **“That Mr. Whitney… Have you figured out who he really is?”** Kendrick’s eyes darkened as he shifted his gaze back to the road ahead. **“Yes.”** Annabelle’s eyes widened. **“Who is he? Do you know why he wants to kill you?”** Kendrick fell silent for a moment. He knew Anna didn’t follow the news and was unaware of how powerful Ryan from the Chu Group truly was. Should he tell her now? Should he tell her that *Mr. Whitney*—Ryan—wasn’t just the CEO of the Chu Group, the company currently locked in a fierce market battle with the Gregory Group? Should he tell her that Ryan was also the *young master* she once trusted and was deepl
I wish it were you Chapter 655 What Kind of Bullying?
Kendrick played it cool, explaining, “Didn’t I tell you earlier? I was nearby.”Annabelle immediately sensed something off in his words. Could it be that he had been in Lin’s Group all along, secretly watching her?That definitely sounded like something he would do.At that moment, Simon, who was sitting behind his executive desk, asked, “So, Anna, how was your talk with Malina?”Annabelle replied that everything had gone smoothly. She had adjusted the script slightly, and Malina would report the details to him later.Simon nodded with a smile. Checking the time, he noted that it was already noon. Since she was done for the day, he advised her to head home early and rest well—once the commercial shoot began, those days would be exhausting. He had a lunch appointment and wouldn’t be able to join her and Kendrick.Annabelle hadn’t expected Uncle Simon to join them for lunch anyway. She exchanged a few polite words before leaving Lin’s Group with Kendrick.The Japanese restaurant Kendric

“He’s more or less confirmed,” Malina frowned slightly. “But I’m not entirely satisfied.”Annabelle asked, “Is it someone I know?”“A top-tier A-list actor—Julian. You’ve heard of him, right?”Hearing the name, Annabelle’s eyes instantly lit up.Julian was Scott’s younger brother. And Scott was a good friend of Kendrick. From what Kendrick had told her, he and Julian had a decent relationship.That meant Julian could be considered one of their own.As for the scene she was most worried about—the kiss that might make Kendrick jealous—she could simply ask Julian to use camera tricks to make it appear real. He would surely cooperate and not cross any boundaries.Kendrick should be able to relax now, right?Plus, she could invite Julissa, that little fangirl, to visit the set. She had always adored Julian, and this would be the perfect opportunity for her to take a photo with her "Julian-gege" and get to know him better.With all these thoughts in mind, Annabelle felt much more at ease.“
I wish it were you Chapter 653 The Cursed Bride
Malina willingly stepped aside, letting Annabelle take his seat at the computer.She began typing out her ideas in a document.Scene One: On a grand cruise ship, a lavish wedding is taking place. Suddenly, the bride leaps into the sea and transforms into a mermaid.The groom, without hesitation, dives in after her. Just before she loses her ability to speak, the bride utters a single sentence:"Take my tears and come find me in ten years. If you still love me, the curse will be lifted."A teardrop falls from the bride’s eye—deep blue, shimmering—and lands in the groom’s palm, transforming into a sapphire.Scene Two: The groom brings the sapphire ashore and entrusts it to a jewelry designer (the background of the designer's studio will feature the Lin Jewelry logo). The sapphire is eventually crafted into a necklace—a delicate golden chain suspending a teardrop-shaped blue gem, passing through a finely carved, hollow heart-shaped pendant, resembling a tear falling straight from the hea
I wish it were you Chapter 652 What Didn’t Move You?
The man’s gaze seemed stuck on Anna, unable to pull away.Wasn’t Malina supposed to be arrogant? Why didn’t he seem arrogant at all? Instead, he appeared particularly attentive to Anna.Logically, Kendrick should be happy that someone appreciated Anna, but he couldn’t help feeling sour about it.Still, he couldn’t react too strongly. Anna had always been displeased with his jealousy, so he had to restrain himself. As long as that man didn’t cross the line, Kendrick would stay put.Just as he was thinking this, he saw Anna say something to Malina. Malina frowned slightly, then walked over, bending down a little to look at the document in her hands.One hand rested on the back of her chair, while the other casually slipped into his pocket as he leisurely explained something to her.Was it really necessary to be this close just to read a document? It almost looked like he was holding Anna in his arms!Kendrick couldn’t sit still any longer.Just as he stood up, ready to walk over, he saw
