I wish it were you Chapter 499 What Is This Strong Sense of Job Entry?
Jax reported to Kendrick about his chance encounter with Seraphina at the market and also mentioned that Annabelle had lost her keys, asking if the lock on the gate should be changed.Kendrick was silent for a moment and then said, "Don't change the lock. Just keep an eye on the villa's security. If anyone breaks in, don’t take immediate action. Wait to see what they intend to do.""Yes, boss."Kendrick understood Annabelle well; she wasn’t someone who would be careless with her belongings, so losing her keys seemed unlikely. The fact that she had bumped into Seraphina made Kendrick suspect that the lost keys and Seraphina might be connected, though he wasn’t sure yet about her intentions.That day, Annabelle spent the whole day in her study, preparing a gift for Kendrick. By the time he came home, she was already asleep.For the next two days, they were each busy during the day, and at night they slept separately without anything unusual happening. This made Kendrick wonder, *Could i

Julissa blinked in confusion, her face full of bewilderment."Job entry? What job?"Linda was also momentarily stunned before she smiled and said, "Miss Hickman, aren’t you the new assistant? Didn’t you attend a banquet with Mr. Nichols last time?"It turned out there had been a misunderstanding.Julissa quickly waved her hand and laughed, "Actually, I—"Before she could finish, Scott spoke up, "Linda, you can step out. I need to have a word with Miss Hickman."Linda put down the form, turned, and left the office, closing the door behind her.Now, only Scott and Julissa were left in the room. Scott stood tall, backlit, with an air of authority surrounding him that made Julissa feel small all of a sudden.The key question was: What does he want to talk about?After the office door was closed, Julissa said, "It seems there’s been a misunderstanding. Everyone really thought I was your assistant."Scott remained composed, nodding slightly. "Well, my assistant Linda is getting married and

Julissa tried her best to focus on her work, making an effort not to pay attention to Scott. Right now, he was just her boss, and she didn’t need to think about the past anymore.Having never worked as an executive assistant or in any secretarial role, Julissa soon realized how meticulous and tedious the job was.After shadowing for a day, she began to doubt whether she could really handle the position. But no—*now Scott was her boss*, and she just needed to focus on doing her job well. She wasn’t particularly organized, but she could learn, right?When Linda noticed her unease while explaining the work, she asked if Julissa had any questions.Julissa honestly admitted that she didn’t have any assistant experience, wasn’t very detail-oriented, and was worried she wouldn’t be able to manage. Linda kindly reassured her, "Experience can be built over time. If you were careless before, just be more careful from now on. There’s always a learning process."Julissa was deeply touched. Fo

While Scott was working out, Julissa stood quietly beside him, accompanying him obediently.Out of boredom, her mind wandered.She thought about what she would do once she got paid—eat, drink, and have fun. She'd buy a car, a house, a bag, and maybe a dog. Even though her parents weren’t lacking money, she still wanted to show filial piety. She’d buy her dad a new car and treat her mom to a luxurious beauty package.In short, once she made money, she’d spend it joyfully.The more she thought about it, the better it seemed. Her mood was as good as if she had won the lottery, and she couldn’t help but smile.Scott glanced at her and noticed she was staring at him with a smile on her face. He thought she was daydreaming about him and felt a hint of amusement.She was so open about having a crush on him. She really wasn’t shy.Just then, Scott’s heart rate monitor beeped, indicating that his heart rate was too high and that he should control his emotions.Julissa was startled by the beep

If it weren't for Scott, Annabelle would really suspect that Julissa had been tricked.However, after thinking about it, Annabelle could easily understand. For someone like Scott, money was just a number. What seemed like a large sum to Julissa and herself probably wasn’t a big deal for him.Annabelle wasn’t very materialistic. As long as she had money to spend, she didn’t think much about earning more.Right now, though, she was a bit strapped for cash. She couldn’t help but feel envious of Julissa, joking, "Does Mr. Nichols still need assistants? I want to go juice some fruit too.""Forget it, you already have your own big boss at home. Why are you jealous of us working stiffs?"Annabelle pursed her lips. "What’s his is his. I still want to rely on myself."She thought about it for a moment, and a sudden realization hit her. Was she subconsciously deciding that she wanted a long-term future with Kendrick?After dinner, Julissa dragged Annabelle to the mall.Julissa found a pair of h

Kendrick paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh. "Are you jealous of Julissa? Want to be my assistant too?""You know Julissa joined the Nichols Group?""Ah Yuan told me," Kendrick replied, sitting down on the piano bench with a smile. "If Anna wants to be my assistant, I’ll be happy. How much salary do you want? Feel free to name your price—don’t worry about saving me money."Seeing Kendrick seeming serious, Annabelle quickly shook her head and muttered, "I’m just saying. I can’t be your assistant. Every time I enter your office, I just want to fall asleep..."Whenever she heard him talking to his subordinates or saw those stacks of documents, her eyelids would droop uncontrollably. She almost always fell asleep.Besides, Kendrick already had Jaime, the super-efficient, all-around assistant. There was no need for her.Kendrick smirked and placed his hand on her neck, gently pinching it. "True, Anna has spent quite a bit of time napping in my office."The sudden bold remark

That night, Annabelle received her first practice capital. The amount was roughly the same as what she had saved up before marrying Kendrick.After both of them had showered, although Annabelle was tired, she was full of enthusiasm. She didn’t want to go to sleep; instead, she eagerly wanted to hear how the evil capitalist made money from money.Seeing her so enthusiastic, Kendrick suggested, "Let's go to your study in the suite. I'll explain the basics to you."Annabelle quickly blocked the door to her suite. "Let's go to your room!"Kendrick raised an eyebrow. "Your room is off-limits?""It’s a little messy, I haven’t cleaned it yet. Let’s go to your room."As she spoke, Annabelle grabbed his hand and led him toward his suite.Kendrick was puzzled. When had her room ever been messy? She seemed like she was hiding something—was it related to the gift she was planning to give him?She didn’t say anything, and Kendrick didn’t press her on it. If she didn’t want him to see it, he would

The next morning, at the Nichols Group.Scott had intended to ask Julissa about the previous day’s shopping trip with Annabelle as soon as he saw her at work. However, when he passed Linda’s desk, he was informed that Julissa had gone to the dance school in the morning to finalize her resignation and wouldn’t be back until the afternoon."When she arrives, send her straight to my office.""Understood, Mr. Nichols."Linda watched as Scott walked toward the president’s office, silently thinking to herself. It only took a short while for Mr. Nichols to miss Miss Hickman so much after not seeing her. It seemed like the Nichols Group was soon going to have a new First Lady!In the afternoon, when Julissa arrived at the office, Linda immediately urged her to head to the president’s office. "Mr. Nichols has been looking for you all morning. Go see him quickly."Julissa was a bit puzzled. What could be so urgent that Mr. Nichols wanted to see her?She knocked on the office door. Inside, Scott

Scott looked down at her, eyes gleaming with a smile. He did look like a man who had gotten what he wanted—but more than that, he looked fulfilled, as if life itself had reached a perfect state.“Are you hungry?” he asked.Julissa had just had some intense ‘exercise’ and didn’t have much appetite. She shook her head.“Tired?” he asked again.“A little.”Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes bright like a mischievous fairy who’d just stolen a magical elixir—Scott couldn’t take his eyes off her. The desire in his gaze deepened.He flipped over, hovering above his little fairy. “Then… how about one more round?”…They started on the couch and ended in the bedroom.After this round, Julissa was completely wiped out, lying boneless on the bed. She no longer looked like a fairy who stole elixirs—more like someone who’d had her spirit energy drained.“Really tired?” asked a certain CEO with exaggerated concern.Julissa gave him a weak, death-glare.The man scratched his head and chuckled sheepis

Seeing the bright, playful light in her eyes, Scott instantly understood her answer. A slow smile spread across his face, and he didn't bother to banter anymore. With a swift, fluid motion, he lifted her into his arms, cradling her close to his body. The warmth of his touch sent shivers down her spine, and she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness wash over her.He kissed her deeply. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the intensity of their connection. The bedroom suddenly felt too far away, so they stopped in the living room, where the sofa beckoned with its wide, soft cushions.As Scott gently laid her down on the sofa, Julissa felt a surge of panic. That one time in the past—her memory was too fuzzy. She could barely recall anything. This felt much more like her first time.And when Scott took off his shirt, revealing his healthy tan skin and well-defined muscles, Julissa realized—it was really happening. She was unbelievably nervous. Her mind raced with a t

Julissa's heart raced as she met Scott's gaze. She knew exactly what he was asking, and the weight of his question pressed down on her. In the past, she would have replied without hesitation: Of course not! But now, the balance in her heart had already tipped. She knew how much she liked Scott. She also knew she longed for a deeper, more intimate connection with him. The thought of being closer to him, of sharing that level of intimacy, was both thrilling and terrifying.However, there was a promise she couldn't ignore. She had made a blood oath to her mom! She’d sworn that if she ever slept with Scott before marriage, she would lose her sense of taste and never enjoy food again. The memory of that promise was a heavy burden, and the fear of losing something so fundamental to her daily life was daunting. If that really came true, what joy would be left in the rest of her life?Scott looked at her, a bit anxious. His eyes searched hers, seeking an answer. “Why that expression? Are you

Julissa was on the verge of tears. She wanted to get up but, considering the state she was in, she felt too embarrassed. She forced out two words: “I’m fine.”Scott held her by the shoulders, helped her up from the ground, and pulled her into his arms.Because she was wearing so little, she shivered from the cold. Scott held her even tighter.Julissa buried her flushed face into his chest, feeling the chill of his body but also catching the fresh, masculine scent from his embrace.“Why did you suddenly show up…” she asked quietly.Scott gently ran his hand down her smooth back. “I’ve been following you the whole way. You didn’t notice?”Julissa looked up at him. “If you were following me, didn’t you see how heavy that jar I was carrying was? Why didn’t you help me?”Her little complaint sounded more like she was being coquettish.Scott replied, “It was something your mom gave you. Of course, you had to carry it yourself.”Julissa shot him a look, smiling.So petty—still jealous?“I di
I wish it were you Chapter 986 Wanted to Wear It for Him
Scott agreed so easily that Julissa couldn’t help but feel a wave of disappointment.But there was nothing she could say, so she sulkily repeated,“Then go ahead and move back home.”For the rest of the workday, Julissa remained in a listless, melancholic state.When it was finally time to leave, she clocked out as usual and headed to the elevator with Mr. Nichols.She pressed the button for the first floor.Scott, meanwhile, pressed B2—the underground parking level.Julissa really wanted to cancel her floor selection and go with him, but she held herself back.When the elevator reached the first floor, she turned to look at Scott.“Then… I’ll get going first…”The CEO smiled and said,“See you tomorrow, Miss Hickman.”She gave him another glance, puffed out her cheeks, then walked out of the elevator with her head down.Since her apartment was close to the office, she could just walk home.Clutching a jar of salted eggs in her arms, Julissa trudged down the sidewalk. The jar felt rid

Julissa suddenly heard her name mentioned and instantly sat up straight.Please, please, let Mr. Nichols not say I was eavesdropping… That would be so embarrassing…Thankfully, Scott wasn’t that blunt.“Julissa’s busy downstairs,” he replied.“Did you need something from her?”“Not really,” Yvette said. “I came to see her a while ago and said some inappropriate things. I feel really sorry about it. I was hoping to apologize in person, but since she’s busy, could you please pass along my apology?”“Sure, I’ll let her know.”Hearing this, Julissa finally felt a sense of relief.She understood Senior Yvette better now. And she understood Scott even more.All her worries had been unnecessary—Scott had clearly known exactly what he was doing all along.As for Senior Yvette’s feelings toward him, they were just a projection of her longing for happiness after a failed marriage—nothing more.Thankfully, she had figured it out in the end.Julissa stopped listening to the rest of the conversati

“It’s alright, I’m not busy right now,” Scott said.“Come sit over here.”Julissa kept her ears trained on the sounds outside.She could tell that Senior Yvette and Scott had moved over to the sofa area and sat down.Then she heard Senior Yvette speak first:“This is the key to your family house. Julian gave it to me before. He’s not in Elfhedge right now, so I’ll return it to you.”“You’ve decided to go back to Tokyo?”“Yeah. My parents have forgiven me, but after all these years apart, living together again feels… awkward—for all of us. I can already imagine, pretty soon they’ll start trying to set me up with someone again. But I just want some peace and quiet for now, so I’ve decided to go back to Tokyo. I’m used to life there anyway.”Scott paused for a couple of seconds.“As long as you’re sure.”Yvette continued:“Oh, and… you helped me hire a lawyer, paid for my treatments—it was a lot. I went through all the expenses and put the total in this card. The PIN is the last six digi

After hanging up the phone, Scott turned to Julissa and said,“Don’t leave yet. Yvette is here. Go wait in the lounge for a bit.”Julissa paused for a moment.Letting her stay in the lounge… wasn't that basically asking her to listen in on their conversation?“If I’m in there, I’ll hear everything you say. Is that okay?”Scott walked up to her and gave her cheek a gentle pinch.“It’s because I don’t want you overthinking things that I’m letting you stay and listen.”Julissa rubbed her cheek, muttering lightly,“Well, you’re the one letting me hear it—don’t blame me for eavesdropping later.”“Mm, I’m letting you,” Scott nodded with a soft smile, looking at her like she was a little kid.Julissa didn’t care about that look.Honestly, she did feel a bit uneasy about how close Senior Yvette and Scott seemed. So if she could listen to their conversation, why not?With light steps, she walked into the lounge and gently closed the door behind her, leaving it slightly ajar.Ever since Yvette

Scott chuckled helplessly. “The perfumer remembers the formula. If you like it, I’ll have her make a few more bottles for you to keep. You can have as much as you want in the future.”Only then did Julissa relax.She had thought it was a one-of-a-kind custom blend, something Scott had specially commissioned—a limited edition, gone once used up.“You should’ve said that earlier, Mr. Nichols. I was worried I’d run out.”Scott smiled faintly, reaching up to pinch her soft earlobe. His voice dropped low: “And the clothes—did you wear them?”Julissa’s cheeks flushed. She gave a sly grin: “Not telling you.”Scott’s lips curled slightly. This little woman had gotten bolder and bolder. Did she really not realize how dangerous she always was around him?“Then I’ll see for myself.” As he spoke, his arm tightened slightly.Julissa found herself pressed against him, and what really made her heart race was that his hand had already landed on the second button of her blouse.His fingers toyed
