As Daphne got out of the car,she saw some girls hover around Griffin.As the girls passed by, attempting to capture his attention with sexy smiled,Griffin’s gaze remained fixed on Daphne.Daphne stood by her car for a moment taking in his striking looks.And then,she shook her head,willing herself not to be moved by him.She decided to ignore him and she headed for the main door of the apartment complex.She wasn’t surprised when her hand was grabbed and she was twirled around.She knew he had come here to see her.“What do you want,Mr Reyes?”She asked,coldly.“Were you seriously going to pretend you didn’t see me?”“Yes.”Daphne replied.He let go of her hand and informed her.”You said I can have still sex with you whenever I want it so that is why I’m here.”Daphne glared at him.Just how cruel could it be?He knew she had feelings for him and since he couldn’t reciprocate then,the least he could do was to let her go.But no!He still wanted to be intimate with her.Even if that would
Tensed,Griffin put on a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.He sat on the bed and leaned against the headboard.As Daphne walked out of the bedroom,she figured he would not go on another round with her so she quickly started to get dressed.Quietly,Griffin stared at her.And then he asked.”How long do you plan of being mad at me?”Daphne didn’t answer.“You need financial support,don’t you?I’ve met women who would kill to have me as their money bag.I will be your money bag,Daphne.Come back to me and I’ll make life comfortable for you.You don’t need to cook or clean anymore.You just have to relax and you’ll be taken care of.”He said in a gentle tone.Daphne had finished getting dressed and she glanced at him and sighed.“I must admit,I am quite flattered.I mean someone like you who women would kill to have wants me.And I can use him as a moneybag.The offer’s great…I suppose I should give up on what I want and move back in with you.”She said,sarcastically.He might have promised he
Even if Jacob has witnessed the scene where Griffin had hugged Renee in the rain.He knew that was merely nothing.He could literally see through Griffin,he could see how much the man was affected by Daphne.He could see how much he loves Daphne.But the man was too proud to admit to it.Maybe because of his vow of never getting married or because he had convinced himself that he would never be swayed by any woman.Jacob recalled that night at the club when Griffin had tried his best to feign indifference towards Daphne.Perhaps even Griffin himself never thought that he would deeply fall in love with Daphne.Jacob was happy about that though.He was happy that Griffin was so self-absorbed and might never be serious with Daphne.Jacob chose not to argue with Griffin anymore.He made up an excuse and left the Reyes’ house.When he got to the car,he couldn’t help but stare at the calendar.Just two more days and he would be seeing Daphne.Maybe this might make her take a chance on him again.
Jacob turned around,dejectedly.As he walked passed Griffin,he heard Griffin warn,coldly.“Jacob,I really hate it when another man put his filthy hand on my woman.You keep pushing me and I can see that you don’t like those hands of yours.They will get cut off if you push me one more time.”Jacob stood frozen in his tracks.Having know Griffin for some time,it was the first time he was seeing such fierce possessiveness from him.In the past, Griffin showed little interest in anything,especially women.Maybe had had misjudged this man.Maybe someday,Griffin would be opened to the idea of marriage.After all,Daphne desired to spend her life with the man she loves.When Jacob walked away,Griffin said to Daphne.“Follow me.”Daphne felt it was right she explained what happened to him.Not that they meant anything to each other,but for the sake of Lucia.She didn’t want him to think that she was trying to steal Lucia’s fiancé.Daphne followed Griffin into his car.The scent of alcohol clung t
Having said that,Daphne placed her hand on her chest,an instinctual reaction to the tumultuous emotions surging within her.Never had she thought she would say those kinds of vile words.Even if she didn’t mean them,she had only said that because of his threats.Griffin’s penetrating gaze fixed on her,his eyes resonating with profound intensity.She was expressing him to lash out in anger but he chuckled,darkly.“I recalled you had given Lucia a precious amulet on her birthday and now,you wanna do something that might end her life?”Daphne exhaled and tried to stand her ground.“Mr Reyes,if anything happens to Lucia, you’re the one to blame.Like I said,I won’t sit back and watch my father go to jail.If you do anything to him,I’ll do everything possible even if it means selling myself over and over again!But if you do not try to send him to jail,then we can end this relationship of ours on a good note.”Griffin’s Adam apple moved,convulsively.He moved closer to her and let out.”You re
They were going to see the doctor together.Was he seriously going to leave her side to go see Renee?Renee had her parents here with her.But Daphne had no one but him at this moment.Griffin calmly assured her.”I’ll be back in a jiffy.Five minutes at most.I won’t be long.”Daphne felt he was thinking that she was being thoughtless.Was she really being thoughtless in wanting him to stay be her side right now?Laura’s tone lost its previous warmth.She equally felt Daphne was being unreasonable.“Miss Howard,Renee and Griffin have been separated for many years.You don’t have to be this seem like he is making a choice.He only just wants to check up on a friend.That shouldn’t be too much to ask.”Daphne shut her eyes,briefly.She took a deep breath and opened her eyes.“You should go,Griffin.”She murmured.Laura and Owen thanked Daphne,and even showered her with praises.As Griffin stood up,he removed his coat and made to put it around Daphne but she recoiled,pushing it away.Griffin wa
Owen was taken aback by how bluntly Daphne had spoken.She was a straightforward person and didn’t hide how she felt to please anyone.It reminded him of Grace.In the past,when he and Grace had a misunderstanding,she stood her ground and refused to be treated lesser than she deserves.Where really was Grace?He wondered how their daughter was doing right now?Was his daughter having a good life?Even if he wanted to believe that,he just badly wanted to be a part of his daughter’s life.As he thought about his child,tears welled up in his eyes because Daphne reminded him so much of Grace.He longed to offer some comforting words to Daphne but Daphne had turned away and was slowly leaving the hospital with her friend holding onto her.As Layla supported Daphne’s movement,she could see Daphne’s eyes were reddish with tears and it seemed as if she kept forcing them back.“Daphne,it’s okay if you wanna cry.I know you’re deeply hurt by him.Suppressing your pain won’t help.”Daphne stopped
“Since I’m more important than Renee and all other women,can I be fully possessive of you then?Can I demand that you stop going to her?Can I demand that you should always choose me?”Daphne asked him.She wasn’t surprised when she saw the hesitation in his eyes.He had placed the stuff he had brought at the doorway.She angrily kicked them aside and shut the door on his face.Leaning against it,she could still catch a whiff of the lingering scent of Griffin’s body.There was a time when she relished snuggling in his embrace,nestling her head against his shoulder and inhaling his scent.But now,all she desired was to keep her distance from him.After a while,Layla returned with a angry look on her face,indicating she had ran into Griffin downstairs.Daphne who was lying on the sofa,calmly said to him.“Layla,I think you should stop insulting him.Fred frequently engages in business collaborations with the Reyes family.I wouldn’t want Griffin to have you in his black book.”“I don’t care
Griffin didn't say any more and led her inside.The entire French restaurant he had reserved, probably because he wanted a quiet space to talk, but Daphne was stressed instead, and as she sat down to order, she whispered, "There's no need to break the bank like this!"Griffin didn't care what he ate, it was up to her.He took a small sip of his pre-dinner wine in his hand and smiled slightly, "Daphne, we've been good for so long, but there don't seem to be many private dates like this one, this place is quite nice, let's come here more often from now on?"Daphne ordered two set meals.After she thanked the waiter, she looked over at Griffin, who was leaning back in his chair and watching her.He does have a nice looking face!Under the luxurious crystal, he was more radiant than the lights.Daphne drank a mouthful of white water and opened her mouth in a hard voice: "The matter of Roscoe and Layla, I would like to ask you to do it."Griffin put down the cup in his hands, long fingers
Waking up in the night with a face full of tears.Later, she sat withered on the terrace all night, and when she came back to her senses the golden dazzling sunlight rose and shone over the whole earth.Daphne lowered her head and gently dialed Griffin’s number."Griffin, I want to see you!"After Daphne finished speaking, there was silence on the other end for a long time.Each of them could hear each other's subtle breathing, and gradually, Griffin breathing became heavier.But in the end, he just flicked, "okay!"He asked her to meet him at a French restaurant in the evening, Daphne refused, she whispered, "Let's talk in your office!"Griffin didn't squeak, clearly refusing.Daphne had begged him and still compromised, "Okay!"*****************************Hanging up the phone, Daphne was in a trance for a long time.Once again involved with Griffin,her heart was actually very clear, she does not pay something he will not help this favor, perhaps he has already laid a good game wai
Darren’s identity was revealed as the son of the richest man in London.In the past, his reputation was not very good, this can be considered to rub behind Daphne whitewash, but also by the financial reports called the father of a tiger without a dog son, especially the business elite model!Of course this group of magazines was also delivered to Griffin’s desk.He looked at it for a long time.He knows how close Daphne is to Darren,she loves him so much that she takes him with her on business trips to other cities.Jessica came in and saw his appearance, she said softly, "Lawyer Reyes, Ms. Daphne has a celebratory dinner tomorrow night, I got an invitation, do you want to go over?"An invitation gently put down.***********Regent Hotel.This celebratory party of Daphne’s a great sound.Darren’s dad Dominic, the richest man in London, specially rushed over from London. He came over to Anthony how can be compared, so also brought his wife and daughter over, of course, there is also hi
He chewed his gum and grunted softly, "Before I was asked to sell coffee, now I'm asked to sell cars,are you going to ask me to sell my body later?"Daphne said very lightly, "With your temper, you can still serve people?"Darren jumped up to serve one on the spot to show her.Daphne ignored him.Darren then snapped, "You say you're really meaningless! It's been a week and you're still thinking about that Griffin? I tell you that if you have tasted the flavor of a small tender grass like me, the package tube immediately put down that old man what is good, still do not know if it is okay!"Daphne was cold and indifferent: "Finish reading the information, I will take you to socialize tomorrow! You know how to play golf, right?"Darren wiggled his long legs.Daphne threw out a sentence, "If you don't know how to do it, go and learn it immediately!"Darren went limp: "Golf is a sport for old people, I'm so young!"***********The next day,Daphne took Darren to the golf course.The other p
They immediately changed restrooms.Layla smiled and said, "It's quite interesting, the firepower is quite fierce! But you're really bringing someone of his status around?"Daphne slowly washed her hands, "His father gave too much, injected 20 million dollars into my music room, I'll take it as bringing up his child!"Layla www envious.How come this thing of a rich man falling from the sky didn't fall on her head, having a little man to drive for herself, and making Nora happy, and also getting 20 million dollars, dreaming and waking up with a smile!As soon as Layla was envious, her stomach reacted.She lay on her back by the sink, dry heaving for a long time,Daphne rushed to give her a pat on the back but Daphne’s heart was a little suspicious of the shadow.Layla isn't pregnant,was she?Layla stood up straight and said very slowly, "It's just bad food."Her words did not completely reassure Daphne, and there was always a doubt.Just then, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a f
The day of Edgar’s wedding.Daphne looked at the invitation, a little out of breath.Time flies, a turn of the eye and half a year had passed, Edgar was getting married, Roscoe and Layla seems to get along well,everyone seemed to have a companion.Darren changed his suit and came in to see Daphne in a daze.He leaned over the side of his desk, took the invitation from her fingers and yelled, "Still thinking of old old?"Daphne was expressionless: "Remember who you are!""I know, I’m just a driver.”Darren looked at her, "Hey,can you go in there alone?If you had spent more money on me,I would have gone with you.”He was quite disgruntled when he said the latter.Daphne put the invitation away and said with a straight face, "It's fine if you don't want to go, wait for me in the car!"How can Darren be willing?He ran from London to Chicago,working as a driver in this small shitty company, just damn for the sake of disgusting surname Reyes, today was the good opportunity!*********The ca
"Owen,look at what mess Daphne is surrounded by, I've already said that her upbringing is too complicated, it's not suitable to go back to the Smith family at all, compared to Renee who is much simpler!"Laurel barked.Owen was a bit hesitant, "Daphne, isn't he not fit to be here?"Daphne gave a cool smile."Mr. Smith,I can't drive anymore, and you have a problem with hiring a driver?""Also, no matter if it’s complicated or simple, I can't climb up to your Smith family, so you guys should go back!"Darren shifted and stood beside her, "That's right, don't get in the way of our family meal!"Daphne shot a glance at him;who was family with him?However, Darren was quite fierce, putting him in Nora’s place to watch over the house was just right, the Smith family people come to disturb again also have a blocking protection.Thinking like this,Daphne looked at him much more smoothly!Owen’s face was pale.Daphne can't drive with her foot yet and can't be a pianist either?He went up and pl
He came closer to her, "My card was confiscated, 8,000 dollars you do not include accommodation,you’ll let me live on the street? With my appearance, how unsafe!"Daphne looked down to take care of something else.She said in a faint voice, "I don’t think there’s any problem with 8,000.”The man jumped up at once: "I can’t accept it.”Daphne pressed the intercom and asked her secretary to ask this gentleman to go out, it is really that her small temple can not accommodate this big Buddha, if she even let him work here, the entire female staff of the music center would not work.The secretary blushed, feeling so sorry for herself.Darren was quite angry: "I'm willing to drive for you but you need to increase the pay.”Just then, Nora came over with her lunchbox.She brought lunch to Daphne, and as soon as she arrived, she saw a big tall guy standing in the office, and he couldn't have looked better.He was so good-looking! Shiny all over.Nora was overjoyed!Darren heard Daphne call ou
She held her husband's hand, "Tomorrow you should perform well, more or less for Griffin to get good impression points, if you can't, you can bring Lucia there, I see Daphne likes Lucia very much,she can convince her.”Anthony frowned.Daphne was way older than Lucia.How much convincing could Lucia possibly do?**********Anthony was full of anticipation, thinking that Daphne was going to accept their family's hundreds of billions of dollars, but he didn't expect to be sued.Anthony politely sent the little girl away.Waiting for someone to go away.His old face darkened, "Get Griffin over here!"The secretary immediately went to do so and in less than half an hour, Griffin came over!In the president's room of Reyes Enterprise, the sound of porcelain breaking came from the room, accompanied by Anthony’s angry roar, "I told you to fight for her, I didn't tell you to deal with the O’Connell family! I have a close friendship with Gary O’Connell.His son’s company is on the verge of coll
