When work was almost over, Jeff passed Nancy a slip of paper at her desk. On it was the address of a restaurant."Mr. Getson has made a reservation there. He wants you to go after work," Jeff said softly.He was speaking on Julian's behalf. Nancy noted down the address before putting the note in her notebook. She suddenly felt like she was going through a secret office romance.An office romance? Her and Julian? That was surreal.She was busy with work until the end of the day. After Jeff listened to their brief report of the workday, he gave Nancy a pointed glance. He was trying to indicate to her not to forget her date.Nancy waited until most of the employees had left before she did. She looked through her work for the day again to avoid making mistakes.Leaving work late during her internship could show that she was hardworking.Once the coast was clear, Nancy got in the elevator. Just as she was about to walk to the entrance, she bumped into Yaacob.As always, he was one o
"Where?"Nancy hurriedly looked into the rearview mirror but could not see Yaacob's car."Of course, he'd use a different car to follow you. If you could find him that easily, it wouldn't be Yaacob!"Sometimes, Nancy felt like Julian's relationship with Yaacob was quite unique.They had the same father but different mothers. They did not even grow up together. If they were brothers from an ordinary family, they would have either become friends or complete strangers who happened to be related by blood when they grew up.However, as they had both been born into such a wealthy family, they were fated to fight over the family assets.Julian had even harmed Yaacob, creating a wedge between them.However, whenever they fought, it felt like they had a sense of sympathy for each other. In any case, Nancy thought that Julian always seemed excited whenever he went up against Yaacob. He even did childish things like acting like he was having an affair with her to test Yaacob and grew very
The headquarters of Getson Corporation was right in the center of Athenapolis, so the prices of the houses there were extremely high.Julian wanted Nancy to stay there and wanted a big place as well. Lilian immediately understood. Even though Yaacob and Nancy were… It was hard to grasp the relationships within rich families anyway. Yaacob had been very close with Emily, too.Lilian worked in human resources, so she knew she could not act surprised. She quietly noted down everything Julian asked for."Then, Mr. Getson, how do we deal with her?" Lilian said, pointing at Tarry.Julian did not glance in that direction. "You're in charge of the interns!"The meaning of those words was evident to all except the interns.Lilian was famous for being strict with her subordinates, and she was even going through menopause. When Nancy entered the company, she had only suffered for two days because Lilian had not dared to do much due to Nancy's relationship with Yaacob.However, Tarry was an
When Nancy found Anna, she was at a small motel on the city's outskirts.It was run down and did not need identification.Nancy stood next to the curtain, patched with different pieces of cloth, and looked at the bus stop below. It was the bus stop that Anna had taken a photo of for her.Nancy waited for five minutes, and the door to the bathroom opened. Anna came out wearing an oversized yellow shirt.The shirt was Nancy's. Since she was taller than Nancy and quite different in the chest department, the shirt looked big on Anna.However, that was the only thing they could do. Earlier, when Nancy arrived, Anna had nothing on except a blanket she had wrapped herself in."What exactly happened? You said someone assaulted you… Who was it?""Don't ask!"Anna pulled the collar high up, and her body shook. It was hard to tell if she was shaking from the cold or fear.She hugged herself tightly and looked at Nancy awkwardly. "J-Just send me home"!"I think I should send you to the p
Anna could not help feeling guilty as she grabbed her collar. She avoided making eye contact with Xander and only hummed in response."I had no idea you and Nancy were so close," Xander said."I-I bumped into her when I was shopping, so we thought we would shop together," Anna explained."Did you buy this outfit today?" Xander asked."Yes!""It's not nice," Xander commented, without thinking it could hurt Anna's feelings, and returned to the room.The couple slept in different rooms. Thus, Anna panicked when Xander entered her room. Her heart pounded. Her back against the wall, she slowly slid down as her knees gave way.'Did he see?' she thought as she carefully inspected the hickeys below her collarbone.At the motel, she had showered and tried to remove the marks, but they were there to stay. She had no choice but to come home with them still there.'I can't risk having Xander see them,' she thought and decided to take another shower while she thought of other methods to ge
Julian did not let Nancy regret her choice and dragged her into the store. He rejected the help of the store attendant."What size do you wear?" Julian asked."I refuse to answer any questions regarding my personal life or matters," Nancy said.She never liked shopping with men she hardly knew, especially when the thing she wanted to buy was very personal.However, this swimwear store was one of her favorites. It carried designs she liked. At first, she did not want to buy anything. Yet, as a woman, it was extremely difficult to walk away when she saw something she liked."What about this one?"All of a sudden, Julian took a triangle bikini top and positioned it in front of her.Nancy stepped back and pursed her lips. "No way."It was too revealing. If she wore that, she would reveal too much flesh, which she certainly did not want — especially not at a party with Julian."I'll choose one myself," she said.She picked a one-piece swimsuit with a bow on its back. She asked the
Unknown to Barry, Julian found him really annoying today.Barry patted Julian's arm. "Hey, I've prepared a surprise today. Do you want to guess what it is?"Julian could not bothered. He had never liked to talk. Most of the time, he would not say anything unless he had to.Barry and the others had gotten used to it. He answered his own question. "I know screwing someone else's wife is the best, but it's not 'fresh' anymore. I'm going to show you what 'fresh' is."When he said "fresh," Julian immediately knew what he was talking about.Truth be told, Julian had never liked Barry. They were only friends because of Barry's father. Without his father, Barry was nothing. Yet, Barry did not realize that fact and continued to be a bully.Barry had organized the party. Everyone knew how much Barry liked to party and what a crazy person he was. For example, he did not mind sleeping with Becka, even though he knew Becka was once Julian's mistress. At least both of them did it of their free
Smash!As Barry refused to stop, Nancy smashed the bottle over his head. She had no choice because the girl was in danger, and she needed to rescue her immediately. Her plan was to use the wine bottle to knock Barry unconscious and rescue the girl.However, Barry's head was tough. The bottle broke into a hundred pieces, but Barry was still conscious. He even ordered people to capture Nancy."Nancy Lawson! I can let you go because you came here with Julian, but you're not taking her with you!"Barry sat on the chair in the lobby. A doctor was called to treat his wound. Although he had not fallen unconscious, Nancy had still cracked his skull open.Nancy was surrounded by people, and the girl was behind her. Luckily, Nancy got there in time to rescue the girl, so the girl had not swallowed the pills and remained conscious. However, her clothes were gone, and Nancy had to wrap her in a bedsheet when Barry and the others brought them downstairs.The girl grabbed Nancy's hand tightly
