Chapter 111 Just Won't Let Go

2024-12-29 18:00:16"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

When Annabelle approached, he still had a gloomy expression and sat in the car with a cold face. After Annabelle got in the car, he remained silent.Annabelle glanced at Jaime through the rearview mirror of the car. Jaime shook his head helplessly, knowing why the president was angry but not daring to say anything.Annabelle was open-minded and didn't speak up unless someone provoked her.Jaime started the car, but Annabelle's phone rang. It was a call from Gauge.She slid open the screen and answered, "What's wrong?""Your capo was put in my guitar case, did you leave? I will bring it to you."The car had already left the school gate at this time, and Annabelle said, "I have a spare one at home, give it to me next time we meet.""Okay. By the way, what I taught you today, practice it well.""Understood."Annabelle smiled and replied that she didn't expect Gauge, who seemed aloof, to be patient and talkative when teachin

Scott had already made his selection. He picked up two boxes, placed them into the shopping cart, and then walked toward her.Julissa's lips twitched slightly.Hadn't Mr. Nichols just said at home that there was no rush, that it was fine to take things slow? So why was he now picking out condoms… and taking two boxes at that?Her heart started racing again as her mind wandered to certain unspeakable thoughts. She quickly shook her head, trying to clear away the chaotic images.Scott was already standing in front of her, his expression as calm as ever. He even took the items she had just picked out from her hands and placed them into the cart.“Are we about done with the shopping?”Julissa nodded and silently followed him for a couple of steps before hesitating. She reached out and stopped the shopping cart, causing them both to halt in place.“What is it?” Scott asked.“This… isn’t really necessary, is it?”Her palms were sweating. She pinched the box lightly between her fingers, as i

Being held so tightly by him, Julissa felt flustered. She mumbled, “How can you just say ‘not going hungry’? That’s just the basic survival standard! We need to eat well…”"We," Scott repeated her words, a teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips as he leaned in closer. “So, you’ve thought about living with me?”Julissa blinked at the man so close to her.Inside her mind, a voice was screaming.His voice, his gaze, that dangerously handsome face—it was all shaking her already weak resolve.She wanted to tell him: Not only have I thought about living with you, I’ve even thought about how many kids we’d have…Beep—The fridge let out a loud warning sound, alerting them that the door had been open for too long.The noise snapped Julissa back to her senses. She quickly slipped out of Scott’s arms, shut the fridge door, and felt her face burning.“You… go wait outside. It’ll be ready soon.” She didn’t even dare to look up at him as she spoke.Scott stepped out of the kitchen as she

Scott straightened up, and Julissa, still feeling anxious, sat up as well."Are you… mad?" she asked hesitantly.Scott glanced at her.He wasn’t angry, but he did look disappointed—heartbroken, even.That look made Julissa feel so guilty that she almost wanted to take back her words and let him continue what he was doing…She tugged at his sleeve. "Mr. Nichols, can you give me a little more time?"Scott gently stroked her cheek, his gaze filled with tenderness."Maybe you still don’t believe we’ll last, but that’s okay. I’ll slowly make you believe."His words stunned Julissa for a few seconds.Then, she opened her arms, wrapped them around his neck, and threw herself into his embrace.There was nothing more touching than the promise of a future together.And nothing more considerate than the phrase take your time.Scott’s hand stroked her back, and Julissa felt an overwhelming sense of comfort and security in his arms.He smelled fresh and clean, and right now, he was her boyfriend—s
I wish it were you Chapter 837 Don’t Want It?
Although Julissa's mother liked Scott as a person, she still found it hard to believe that such a high-status man would genuinely date Julissa.It felt unrealistic and unstable.Their family wasn’t rich or powerful, and they weren’t the kind of people who would eagerly throw their daughter at a wealthy man just because of his status.In fact, the better Scott’s conditions seemed, the more cautious they became.On this, both Father and Julissa's mother were in full agreement: their precious daughter must be given to someone who sincerely cherished her—someone truly outstanding and driven.Money and status were just illusions. Scott needed further observation.Even though Julissa's mother wasn’t particularly old-fashioned, she still worried that her daughter might suffer losses in certain aspects, which was why she kept reminding her.Hearing this, Julissa immediately covered her face.“Mom! What are you even thinking…? We haven’t! And we won’t do that kind of thing!”Julissa's mother s
I wish it were you Chapter 836 Mr. Gregory Needs Some Self-Discipline
Over the years, Kendrick had grown accustomed to living under constant threats. Apart from Ryan, many others wanted him dead.If he lived in fear every day, he wouldn’t have needed an assassin to kill him—he would have scared himself to death long ago.“Go handle your work.”“Yes, Boss.”After Jax left, Kendrick fell into deep thought.It made sense that Ryan would try to assassinate him to fight for Anna.But what puzzled him the most was that Ryan had started planning these assassinations before Anna married him.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out what grudge existed between them that made Ryan so determined to eliminate him.This mystery had been bothering him for a long time. And solving it might be the key to ending their deadly feud.—Meanwhile, Annabelle was enduring the “devil training” of Teacher Maria.It was tough and painful, but she never once considered giving up.No matter how much it hurt, as long as she wasn’t dead, she would keep training.

I wish it were you Chapter 835 Be Careful Not to Overdo It
Annabelle shot Kendrick a glare.Not only had he just implied that Marvin was idle and carefree, but he had also mocked him for being single.Mr. Gregory, that was too harsh.Marvin, however, merely smiled. “Since my dear brother needs it so much, you should have it. Just be careful not to overdo it—too much of a good thing can be harmful.”With that, he released his chopsticks.Annabelle sighed inwardly.Seems like this one isn’t exactly kind-hearted either.Feeling the need to clear things up, she decided to speak on Kendrick’s behalf.She didn’t want people thinking she was like those imperial concubines who supposedly drained their emperors with excessive indulgence.Besides, Kendrick was not weak…She said earnestly, “I only made this for him because he’s been working so hard lately. I can’t help him with anything else, but at least I can take care of his nutrition. Don’t worry—his health is just fine.”Kendrick smiled and picked up the sea cucumber, chewing it slowly.Good, he t

Marvin took a bite of the food and remarked, “Anna, your cooking is really good.” Annabelle smiled. “I’m actually not very skilled at cooking.” “It’s already very impressive,” Marvin praised sincerely. She glanced at Kendrick and noticed that the sly fox was still smiling, though it was obvious that he was extremely displeased. Well, whose fault is that? You were the one who started talking unnecessarily, Annabelle thought, feeling no sympathy for him. The meal continued in silence. Though everything seemed peaceful, Annabelle felt a little awkward. Looking at Marvin—her ex-fiancé. Then at Kendrick—her current husband. And these two just happened to be brothers. It wasn’t just outsiders who would find their situation intriguing; even those involved couldn’t help but marvel at fate’s sense of humor. Despite their hidden agendas, the two men were sitting down for a meal together. She really didn’t understand the way men’s minds worked. Instead of dwelling on it, she focused

When their eyes met, both Annabelle and Marvin were momentarily stunned.Marvin then stepped closer and glanced at the lunch bag in her hand. “Bringing food for Kendrick?”Since their last meeting in the Maldives, they hadn’t seen each other again.Marvin had heard that she had left for a while and later returned.He had wanted to check in on her but was afraid of bothering her, leaving him conflicted for days.Now, having run into her by chance, his heart felt a small surge of joy.Annabelle smiled at him and nodded. “Are you working from here today?”“Mm.”Marvin stared at her, lost in thought.He liked the way she spoke to him so calmly, but at the same time, he felt a hint of sadness.Is it because she neither dislikes nor likes me that she can greet me so indifferently?He even suspected that she spoke to the company’s security guards with the same level of warmth.Suppressing the tinge of disappointment in his heart, Marvin said, “I need to see him too. Let’s go up together.”Wi
I wish it were you Chapter 832 Unable to Get Out of Bed
The three senior executives—all men—exchanged glances upon hearing the woman's cry from the president’s private lounge.A woman's voice… coming from the president’s resting area!Who else could it be? It must be the little wife their president cherished so dearly.“Give me a moment,” Kendrick said as he stood up.The three executives immediately responded, “Of course, President, take your time. We’re in no hurry.”As Kendrick entered the lounge, the three men outside kept their expressions neutral, but their ears were perked up, listening intently.Inside, Kendrick asked, “What’s wrong?”A pitiful voice replied, “My legs hurt even more now…”He continued, “Can you get out of bed?”The little woman whined, “Not really… I need a moment…”Outside, the three men exchanged looks—one shaking his head, another stifling a laugh, and the third feeling oddly sentimental.President, you’re too much… You’ve completely worn her out to the point she can’t even get out of bed!Must be nice to have t
