Jean spoke in a serious tone. She had a solemn expression as she looked at Tyler.Finding her solemn expression amusing, Tyler smiled."Yeah, I get it now. Your feelings for me are absolutely genuine."As he spoke, she broke free of his embrace and stood up.At the same time, Rowena brought someone to Tyler's office and knocked on the door.Jean was glad that she had just left his embrace, or Rowena would've seen them.Seeing Jean in Tyler's office, Rowena couldn't help but glance at her. However, she quickly shifted her attention to Tyler and said, "Mr. Larson, Mr. Page is here."Tyler nodded in acknowledgment before giving Jean a look.Jean thought that he was asking her to leave. After all, he was going to start working, so it wasn't appropriate for her to stay. That person was probably Tyler's client. On her way out, she stole a glance at the person Rowena referred to as Mr. Page. She quickly looked away when she saw him staring back at her as well.He was a client who w
Tyler closed the document after skimming through it.He turned to Emmett and said, "The proposal you drafted is decent. I thought you only knew how to make movies. I didn't expect you to know about these things."Although Emmett had been working in the film industry for the past few years, he had some understanding of these matters due to his mother's influence.He took over the company because he didn't want to see the previously glorious Page Co. fall to ruin like this.Emmett looked calm as he listened to Tyler. His tone was cool as he replied, "I take this very seriously because I'm new to this industry. "To be more specific, I treat everything this seriously, Mr. Larson. So, please give me and Page Co. a chance."Tyler replied, "Since you already said so, I'll be frank. I'm not very happy with the 15% profit share you're offering."Upon hearing his words, Emmett frowned. The profit share was already higher than usual practice.Moreover, Larson Group didn't need to do anyt
Emmett took a deep breath after hearing Tyler's words. A hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes."Mr. Larson, you've never asked for a deposit when you cooperated with Page Co. in the past, so why are you treating us differently now?"Tyler looked at Emmett and smiled."Mr. Page, calm down. We're all just doing our jobs. It's just business. Just give me 30% of the 25% profit share I'm entitled to as a show of good faith. That way, I'll be reassured that you won't pull out of the partnership abruptly."Emmett exhaled and frowned slightly. Tyler's request wasn't too extreme.However, Emmett chose to work with Larson Group because they previously never asked for a deposit. He thought Tyler wouldn't bring it up this time. He didn't expect Tyler to play by the books.The payment amount was also within their budget. After a few seconds of silence, Emmett nodded and agreed to it.Rowena was relieved to see Emmett agree to Tyler's terms. If Emmett and Tyler signed an agreement, she woul
Jean looked calm when she was talking to Emmett. It was as if she was looking at a stranger. There wasn't a single change in her expression.Emmett took a deep breath. He was about to speak when Tyler's voice came from his office."Jean …" Jean immediately rushed to Tyler's office when she heard him calling for her. She didn't spare Emmett another glance. Emmett took another deep breath and walked away.Rowena followed Emmett into the elevator. Seeing that Emmett was unhappy, she smiled and said, "Mr. Page, you aren't aware of it yet, are you?"A hint of confusion flashed in Emmett's eyes when he heard Rowena's voice. He turned to her with a frown. "What?"Rowena pursed her lips and whispered, "Ms. Michaels lost her memory. She has forgotten a lot of things from the past."Emmett frowned slightly when he heard Rowena's words. The door to the elevator opened, and Rowena stepped out of the elevator first. Seeing that Emmett was still standing in the elevator with his mind
Tyler did not show his usual tenderness toward Jean this time. He did not let go of her waist immediately.Instead, he smiled and said, "Only when our relationship is stabilized can the company develop normally."After Tyler finished speaking, he looked over at Rowena, who was standing awkwardly at the door. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "Ms. Quigley, do you need anything?"Upon being greeted by Tyler, Rowena let out a small smile and managed to regain her composure."Mr. Larson, I'm here to retrieve the files the people from Page Co. left behind," she said.Tyler nodded and replied, "Come in, then."At this moment, Jean found an opportunity to get out of Tyler's embrace. However, instead of leaving the office immediately, she stood to one side and adjusted her skirt.Rowena walked in and grabbed the files. She planned to leave Tyler's office as soon as she could. She had just interrupted Tyler and Jean's intimate moment, after all.However, just as she spun on her heel and l
After prolonged efforts, Jean only managed to get rid of a fraction of her dress's wrinkles."What kind of fabric is this even made of? It wrinkles so easily," she complained.Upon hearing this, Tyler spun around in his seat and started fixing Jean's skirt for her."The better the fabric, the easier it wrinkles. Stay still. Let me smoothen it out for you."Robin caught Tyler pulling on Jean's skirt as she walked in to hand in her report. Jean immediately swatted his hands away from her when she noticed Robin's entrance.Robin broke into a smile and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. Please carry on."She turned to leave as soon as she finished her sentence.Jean immediately called out to her, "Robin! It's not what it looks like."Robin listened to Jean and halted. She then responded while looking amused, "So, what's happening here?" Jean felt exasperated. Before she could explain further, Tyler asked in a business-like tone, "Did you need anything?"Robin's face str
Jean's heart would no doubt shatter again if Tyler continued to devote his time and energy to Lilian like he did in the past. Everything would be over.His gaze swept briefly across Robin before he dismissed her."We're done here. If Lilian tries to call the front desk again, just tell her that Larson Group is unable to interfere with the Page family's internal affairs."Robin nodded firmly in response. Jean returned with a glass of water from the pantry at this moment. Tyler reached for the glass she set down on his table. The temperature of the drink in his hand felt just right. Jean had undoubtedly devoted extra care to making sure the temperature was just right so that he would not scald his tongue when he drank it."Ms. Michaels, you're becoming increasingly good at your job."He smiled as he overtly complimented her. His comment, in the presence of Robin no less, left Jean embarrassed. "Whatever." As Jean spoke, she held Robin's hand and muttered, "I'd like to
For some reason, Jean suddenly teared up as she listened to Robin's trembling voice. Being able to commit to a relationship until the end was the most meaningful thing one could do. Especially in Robin's situation, where she had been through countless hardships and an unrequited crush. It was moving to see her finally achieving an outcome.At the sight of Jean’s bloodshot eyes, Robin's own eyes also began to slightly tear up uncontrollably.Truth be told, she had not felt this emotional in a very long time.She took a deep breath and looked at Jean. She then said while laughing, "I really want to be successful soon."Jean nodded solemnly in response."Yes. Remember to visit me often after you transfer to Weiss Group." Robin smiled lightly and replied softly, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely train you into a very successful chief secretary during the handover period!"Upon hearing her words, Jean immediately cheered herself on. After all, to Tyler, Robin was probably his seco
