I wish it were you Chapter 602 Trying to Sleep with Me Again?
Julissa was already drunk, her mind foggy, but she couldn't shake the feeling that Ariana and Cael were up to something sneaky.Are they planning something against Anna?She knocked on her hazy head, trying to stay clear-headed.She stood up, intending to head over to Annabelle.Even if she didn’t know what she could do, at least being by Anna’s side would be better than nothing.But as soon as she got up, the world spun, and her legs felt like they were stepping on cotton. She couldn’t even stand properly.Scott caught her. "Where are you going?"Julissa raised her hand and pointed in Annabelle’s direction.Scott followed her finger, which was aimed toward the banquet hall's exit. Thinking she wanted to leave, he simply said, "Alright," and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her straight out of the hall through the side door.The pressure against her stomach from being carried made Julissa feel sick. She clutched Scott’s shirt tightly, burying her head in his chest, desperately hol

Julissa didn’t quite catch the implication of that "again."She thought Scott had simply seen through the crush she once had on him.But more importantly—how could he say such flirtatious things so casually, without even blinking?!"Mr. Nichols, don’t you feel embarrassed saying things like that?"He smirked lightly, amusement flashing in his eyes. "If you’re not embarrassed, why should I be?"Julissa tilted her head, grinning mischievously as she leaned in closer. "So… does that mean I can flirt with you however I want?"Scott flicked her forehead, shaking his head helplessly. "Julissa, I really should record you right now."Just then, the car arrived. Scott helped her inside, and they both sat in the back seat.The driver asked, "Mr. Nichols, to the office or…?"Scott originally planned to return to the office, but after glancing at Julissa—who had instantly fallen asleep the moment she leaned against the window—he sighed."Take us home."He was the one who got her drunk, so he had

After finishing in the bathroom, Julissa wobbled over to the pristine sink.Through the mirror, she took in her surroundings again—still the same high-end black, white, and gray aesthetic.The faucet, free of even a single water stain, gleamed with a cold metallic sheen. The marble countertop, with its rippling stone patterns, looked just as chilly.Julissa couldn't help but complain, "The designer of this hotel must be emotionally detached."Then, her eyes landed on a white ceramic tray on the counter. Several white and brown bottles sat neatly arranged on it.Probably just some basic skincare products, she guessed.Curious, she picked one up and squinted at the label—a jumble of blurry letters, not a single recognizable word.Looks expensive…She made a mental note to try them out when she took a bath later.Right now, though, she was too lazy even to wash her hands. She just wanted to sleep.She set the bottle back down, but her drunken clumsiness betrayed her—she knocked over the

Julissa flashed a mischievous smile. "Mr. Nichols, taking advantage of you in a dream won’t get my salary docked, right? lol…"Scott’s lips curled up slightly. "You can try and see."Julissa was a woman of action. If she thought about it, she would do it.She hooked her arms around Scott’s neck, tiptoed, and pressed her lips directly against his.His lips were slightly cool, his scent crisp and refreshing—like the air after a snowfall.Most importantly, the sensation felt too real.This dream was so wonderfully vivid that she couldn’t help but close her eyes and savor it.Scott watched her up close, even noticing the slight tremble of her long lashes.After so many days, he was finally kissing her again.The taste of this kiss… was almost identical to that night.Yet, at the same time, it was different.Because this time, Julissa knew who she was kissing.This foolish girl actually thought she was dreaming, so she was acting recklessly.But did that mean… deep inside, she harbored fee

Julissa seriously considered it for a moment.If this really was a dream, she would probably forget everything when she woke up, so there’d be no awkwardness in facing him later.And wasn’t the whole point of dreams to let people experience things they couldn’t do in reality?She dazedly nodded.Scott chuckled. "Do you like me that much?"Julissa grinned cheekily. Who doesn’t like a handsome guy?"Of course! And if you don’t dock my salary, I’ll like you even more!"That simple sentence lit up the deep, brooding darkness in Scott’s eyes.He chose to believe that she meant it—that it wasn’t just drunken nonsense."Alright, I won’t dock your salary."Glancing at the bedside clock, he withdrew his hand from her waist."Wait for me. Don’t fall asleep."Julissa’s face flushed red. She didn’t know whether to nod or shake her head.She thought to herself, But I’m already asleep. Shouldn’t you be saying ‘don’t wake up’ instead?Still, feeling too embarrassed to correct him, she kept quiet.Sc
Last Updated : 2025-04-05I wish it were you Chapter 607 Falling into Cael’s Hands
One hour ago, inside the hotel banquet hall.Ariana and Cael approached Annabelle, raising their glasses to her.Kendrick had just stepped out of the banquet hall to take an important call, leaving Annabelle alone for the moment.She stood up, accepted the drink handed to her by the waiter, and took a sip without much thought. After exchanging a few polite words with Ariana, she downed the drink.However, shortly after drinking it, she realized something was wrong.Her face felt hot, her breathing became short and feverish, and when she caught her reflection in the glass window beside her, she saw her own hazy eyes and flushed, alluring expression.This wasn’t the first time she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, but this time, the effect was overwhelming. It was as if ants were crawling through her veins, an unbearable itch spreading deep inside her body, making it nearly impossible to maintain control.She could feel her willpower crumbling under the drug’s influence. If a man tr

As soon as she entered the elevator, Annabelle immediately reached for the emergency alarm button.Cael effortlessly caught her hand, smiling. "Ms. Sanchez, you'd better not make a scene. Be good and listen to me—I won’t hurt you."Annabelle loathed his touch. Even though her body felt weak and powerless, she still managed to yank her hand away."Cael, if you dare lay a finger on me, Kendrick will never let you go."He glanced at her and chuckled."To be honest, you are quite my type. But I know what happens when you offend Kendrick—I’m not that stupid."He paused briefly, then added with a sinister smirk, "Besides, this is my engagement party. Do you think I’d ruin it? I truly want to marry Ariana."For some reason, Annabelle found his smile extremely unsettling.Especially when he said "truly want to marry Ariana." A chill ran down her spine.It felt like there was something far more insidious lurking beneath his frivolous exterior—something devious, something dangerous.But that wa

After Cael left, Annabelle rushed to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and started filling the bathtub with cold water.This method was crude but effective.At the same time, she planned to call Kendrick.When she took out her phone, she first noticed a message from Julissa, sent using Scott’s phone.Unfortunately, it was too late for that. If she had only checked her phone earlier, she might have been able to avoid drinking that glass of wine. But now, all she could do was try to find a way to ease the burning desire within her.Annabelle switched to Kendrick’s chat window, but her trembling fingers failed to hold onto the phone.The phone slipped from her grasp and fell into the bathtub.Water seeped into the phone, rendering it useless.Frustrated and annoyed, Annabelle set the phone aside. She couldn’t even wait for the bathtub to fill completely before stepping in, barefoot.The icy water engulfed her body, bringing some relief, but it couldn’t extinguish the deep craving insid

"Fine, if you're not interested in the project, then let's drop it. But your assistant publicly poured wine all over me—I need an explanation for that."Serena was not someone who could tolerate even a speck of injustice. She refused to accept any kind of humiliation.Originally, she had intended to use the contract matter as leverage to get Scott to fire Julissa.Since that plan failed, she couldn’t just leave empty-handed.She had to get an answer."Wait a moment."Scott picked up the landline phone and dialed the assistant’s office."Julissa, come to my office," he said coldly. He didn’t even wait for her response before hanging up.On the other end, Julissa listened to the beeping sound from the phone and suddenly felt uneasy.This is bad...Nervously, Julissa entered the office.Before she could say anything, Scott immediately asked, "I heard you poured a glass of champagne on S
I wish it were you Chapter 629 Protecting Her
Julissa anxiously glanced at Scott, only to see him take a sip of his coffee, blow on it, and say, “What she said is actually correct. Brewing two cups of pour-over coffee at once requires some attention. If you don’t have experience, it’s easy to fail the first time.”Hearing him explain on her behalf, Julissa breathed a sigh of relief.At least, in front of others, Scott didn’t plan to reprimand her.She was about to slip away when she saw Scott take another sip of his coffee, his brow furrowing even tighter.Nervously, she asked, “Mr. Nichols, is it not good?”“Why don’t you try it yourself?”Scott pushed the cup toward her.Julissa quickly picked up the cup and took a sip, grimacing.It was so sour and awful—the coffee’s aroma hadn’t come out at all, and only the sourness stood out. Overall, it was weak and overly acidic.She felt so embarr

Just then, the electric kettle beeped three times—the water was boiling. It was time to make the coffee.Not being able to hear the rest of the conversation left a knot in Julissa’s heart.She wanted to keep eavesdropping, but their voices had gotten too quiet. All she could tell was that they were still chatting.Hah, they sure have a lot to talk about.To be fair, Serena was quite attractive—but she was also unbearably arrogant. Julissa had thought Scott wasn’t the type to be blinded by looks, that he could see beyond a pretty face. Turns out he’s just as shallow as the rest.Thinking this, she almost forgot about the coffee in her hands.According to Scott’s instructions, a pour-over coffee required two rounds of water after the blooming phase. But she had waited too long between the first and second pour. Would that affect the taste?Well, aside from that small hiccup, she had followed all his s
I wish it were you Chapter 627 Is She Jealous?
After the board meeting, that veteran shareholder had even approached Scott to explain himself, hoping Scott wouldn’t misunderstand—he insisted that he remained loyal to the company.Meanwhile, Julissa, that clueless girl, had no idea that her straightforwardness had actually helped him.She had even apologized to him after the meeting, saying that she had spoken impulsively out of frustration on his behalf and promised that she would never speak out of turn again.If not for another assistant being present at the time, Scott would have really wanted to pull her into his arms…Back in the office, Scott cleared his throat, resting a fist against his lips, and said, “Then I’ll trouble Miss Hickman to make two cups of coffee. You can use the equipment in the break room.”“Understood, Mr. Nichols.”Julissa turned and walked off with an air of defiant pride, making Scott chuckle.He could cl
I wish it were you Chapter 626 Honest as She Is
Julissa hung up the phone and gestured for Serena to follow her.As they walked toward the CEO’s office, Julissa felt a little uneasy.The day before, at the engagement party, she had splashed a glass of wine all over Serena.Although Serena had provoked her first and had even picked up a glass to throw at her, Julissa had acted first by grabbing the glass and returning the favor.No matter the circumstances, she was the one who struck first.And the one who strikes first is usually in the wrong.Was Serena here today to settle yesterday’s score with Scott?Julissa glanced sideways at Serena, only to see a smirk playing on her lips, her expression full of confidence—like a victor certain of her win.Julissa was almost certain that Serena had come for her, not Scott.She wasn’t afraid of her.She just didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for Scott.Lost in thought, she reali
I wish it were you Chapter 625 The Woman Who Came to Provoke
Logically speaking, since he had confessed his feelings, he should be pursuing her now—shouldn't he be doing everything to please her?But he clearly had no intention of doing so.Had he given up after being rejected? Was the proud and aloof young master so fragile that he’d just walk away that easily?If he could give up so easily, then he probably wasn’t serious from the start.A wave of inexplicable anger rose in Julissa’s chest.She lowered her head and focused on eating, refusing to say another word.Just then, Julian came downstairs and happened to pass by the dining room.Scott set down his chopsticks and glanced at him. “Skipping lunch? Where are you going?”Julian took a few steps back to the dining room doorway, scratched his head, and grinned.“A friend called me out. I’m heading off—see you later, sis-in-law!”With that, he waved at Julissa.

“Last year’s?”“Yeah. I’m sure of it because our company’s overseas department won the bid for this project in the end.”“So, this document is outdated? Then why is Scott making Julissa summarize it, saying he needs it urgently?”Kendrick smirked. “What do you think?”Annabelle processed the thought and then glared at him. “No wonder you two get along so well—you really are birds of a feather.”Why was Scott making Julissa work on an outdated document? Obviously, just to keep her by his side a little longer.His scheming and manipulative ways were exactly like a certain someone she knew.Annabelle thought about it, then smirked. Mimicking Kendrick’s tone, she sent a message to Julissa:“I’m not home, and I didn’t bring my phone.”She wanted Julissa and Scott to make some progress, so of course, she wasn&rsquo

Scott took a deep breath and said, “Julissa, I’ll give you one month to reconsider. Please think carefully before giving me your final answer.”Julissa felt an overwhelming sense of pressure and dominance, making her instinctively nod.But a moment later, she realized—Wait, why am I letting him control the situation?She didn’t need a whole month to think this over.“There’s no need to consider anything. I really don’t have those kinds of feelings for you. So, Mr. Nichols, you don’t have to force yourself to keep me employed. I’ll go to HR this afternoon to resign.”With that, she turned on her heels to leave.But before she could take a step, his cold voice rang out from behind her—“Stop.”His tone was sharp, intimidating.She flinched inwardly but stood her ground. When she turned back around, her expression was stubborn and defiant.

Julissa blinked.She had kissed and hugged him while drunk, even made some rather suggestive remarks—shouldn’t he be angry?Unless… Scott actually liked being taken advantage of by her?The thought sent a shiver down her spine.She looked up at him, only to find that his gaze was filled with a mix of emotions she couldn’t quite decipher.Fragments of memories surfaced in her mind. She vaguely recalled that after carrying her to the bedroom, he had said, “Wait for me, don’t fall asleep.”She had obviously fallen asleep afterward, but that also meant that last night, he had wanted to…Julissa found it hard to believe. No, it was impossible.Scott? Interested in her?“Mr. Nichols, I don’t understand what you mean.”Scott’s deep eyes locked onto hers. “Julissa, are you truly this clueless, or are you just pretending?”Her heart pounded wildly.She wasn’t stupid. Nor was she playing dumb.She was j
