It had been twenty years since then, and there was not a single night he did not dream of it. The old lady sighed, “Forget it. We’ll not talk about unhappy things. If it’s urgent, you should leave now.” The corners of William’s lips curved up, and he left. When he arrived at the door, Horton and Juliana still stood there arguing with the servants. William refused to let Juliana enter, but Horton insisted on letting her in. For Juliana, he was not afraid to lose face. When the servants
To be honest, Cecelia looked forward to his answer. After all, she harbored sinful thoughts toward him. No, it was impure! That was not right either. Anyway, this man had better answer with a yes, otherwise— Humph! William did not seem to hear Cecelia’s inner thoughts, but said instead, “You heard wrong.” Cecelia pointed a finger at him, “Say that again.” “I don’t like repeating myself,” William said smugly. “Okay! If that’s the case, I did not say anything on that day either. Even
He deliberately schooled his face into a blank look and nodded, “Yes.” “I knew it!” Cecelia was exasperated. “Look at me, why am I so stupid! How could I actually forget something as important as applying for leave?” Speaking of which, Cecelia glared at the man indignantly, “I forgot to apply for leave because I was feeling unwell, what about you? Why can’t you apply on my behalf? You’re so close with the president, why didn’t you think of applying leave for me? Now that I’m fired, our famil
He said each word very slowly, and Cecelia almost died from anxiety, but he finally said, “Not busy!” Cecelia’s tightly-knitted eyebrows loosened instantly, “Then, shall we get the groceries together after work today?” “Yes.” “This friend of mine has a good appetite. We should buy more.” The two of them acted like a real couple, talking and laughing as they stepped out. The driver, who was waiting outside, saw this scene and was so excited that he was almost tempted to use his phone to
When shopping for groceries, she made it a point to get his opinion. Before buying something, she would ask him in advance if they should get it. She bought so many things after getting his agreement. Initially, she assumed he wanted her to buy so much so that he could show-off his cooking skills tonight, but now he was telling her to order takeout? He knew she was going to disagree. After all, Grace was an important person to her. Thinking of this, Mr. William suddenly wanted to find ou
Obviously, she heard knocking on the door just now, but why was there no one when she opened it? Could she have heard wrong? “Pretty boy,” Cecelia called William. William came out of the kitchen, “What?” “Did you hear a knock on the door just now?” “Yes.” So, she did not hear wrong, but why was there no one? “Both of us heard a knock on the door without a doubt, but there was no sign of anyone out there. Is there something wrong with both our ears?” Cecelia glanced around the ent
“Please don’t—“ Grace exclaimed, but at Cecelia’s puzzled look, she said, “I mean, this is our first meeting, we’re not so familiar after all. He doesn’t have to accommodate me. Once we get to know each other better, it’s going to be fine!” Cecelia felt that Grace had her point, “You’re right. Who knows, once you’re familiar, your relationship could be better than it is with me!” The three of them took their seats and Cecelia slid the plate of fruits toward her, “Gracie, what do you want to
“Boss?” Cecelia was certain she did not hear it wrongly this time. Grace called William ‘Boss’. She turned suspicious eyes between both of them, “You know each other?” Cecelia recalled Grace’s unusual behavior today. Usually, Grace was as brave as a lion. But today, she seemed a little apprehensive about William. Even if they met for the first time, according to Grace’s past personality, it should not turn out this way. Besides, when she first arrived, she had blurted the word ‘Boss’
