Daphne woke up the following morning to see Griffin standing in front of the mirror,knotting his tie.Seeing that she was awake,he turned around and pressed a kiss on her forehead.“Good morning,beautiful.”He said,softly.“Good morning.”Daphne replied.”Will you have the chance of attending the opening party?”Daphne asked,her eyes rekindling the memories of the previous night.Griffin beamed at her.”Of course.But there is a trial I must attend though.I may arrive a tad late but is it okay if I come by at eight or nine in the evening?Would that be too disappointing?”He asked,tentatively.She shook her head and smiled.”It’s okay.I understand that your schedule’s tight and I’ll be happy if you can come by at eight or nine.”He stared at her,dotingly.She was so understanding.The duvet moved a bit lower,exposing her left boob to him.He swallowed hard.If time had permitted,he would have gotten into that back and suck that nipple into his mouth but he was running late already.He kissed D
The bitter and painful realization dawned on Daphne now.A lot of times,she had been at war with herself trying to tell herself that she might have a chance of spending her life with him.A lot of times, she had also held onto a glimmer of hope that she meant something to him.But that hope shattered now and she finally had an answer now.He did not love her.He could never love her.After last night,she had wanted him to meet her parents,she had wanted to proudly introduce him to her parents as her boyfriend.Well, she should be glad now that he didn’t show up at the party.She should be glad that she was witnessing this scene right now.At least,she would finally stop being delusional and accept her reality.Her lips quivered because she felt so hurt,so heartbroken.The sight of them hugging in the rain was too unbearable to watch.She couldn’t endure witnessing it anymore so she clutched the steering wheel tightly.Even if she knew it was dangerous to drive,she just wanted to get awa
Daphne felt they really needed to talk.They needed an end to whatever they had.She stepped aside and allowed him in.Wordlessly,she got a towel and handed it to him.Griffin wiped his face with the towel and then he reached for her hand.She moved away before he could hold her.“You want to give an explanation,right?While I’m willing to listen,please do and if you do not want to explain your actions tonight, then you can get out.”Griffin swallowed knowing how upset she was.Having spent time living with her, he knew that if he didn’t explain himself and made her feel special to him again,she would remain mad for quite some time.He moved closer to her and spoke in a soft tone.“I swear.I didn’t go to see Renee tonight nor did I ever want to see her.Mr Smith called and said he had something urgent to tell me.You know very well how much I respect that man so I couldn’t say no.My plan was to quickly stop by his house and then go to your party but on getting to his house, he told me he
Griffin’s fist clenched,hard.Would it be so easy for her to forget about him?He yearned to hold her,to beg her to just stay by his side but he couldn’t bruise his ego any more than this.So he stormed off.As he left,he slammed the door hard in his wake.Daphne blinked,a feeling of unhappiness washing over her as she tried to accept that this was truly the end between her and Griffin.Sighing,she quietly got on the bed and covered herself with a duvet.It was extremely hard to fall asleep that night and she had no idea when she eventually did.Walking up,she found herself clutching onto something.Almost instinctively,she murmured.”Griffin…”Suddenly,her eyes opened in surprise thinking he had come back to her but there was no sign of Griffin.She was holding onto a pillow.Daphne looked around,warily as she recalled that they had broken up the previous night.She sat up and rubbed her eyes which felt sore and heavy.Just as she was about to freshen up,her cellphone rang out.It was
“Daphne.”Jacob called,softly as if he was afraid that she would disappear forever.Daphne forcefully released her hand from his grip and warned.“Jacob,behave yourself.”A bitter smile formed on Jacob’s lips.“You know that I can never behave myself when it comes to you.Please have a seat at the reception area.I’ll inform my secretary to prepare a cup of coffee for you.There are a lot of people around,Daphne.Simply do what I ask or I’ll cause a scene.”Daphne glanced around, there was a lot of employees stealing glances at them.The last thing she wanted was to be on the headlines with Jacob.Few minutes later,Daphne found herself seated with Jacob in the tea room of the reception area.Jacob was personally brewing a cup of coffee for Daphne.“How many sugar cubes would you like?”He asked,calmly.“One.”Daphne bit out.Placing the sugar cube delicately into the cup,Jacob handed the coffee to Daphne,taking a seat opposite her.Daphne glanced at him and looked away.She noticed that he ha
“I did say that but…”“No but.You can’t take that back.Afterall, you’re indebted to me.”Daphne shut her eyes, briefly.He really wanted to make this difficult for her.“We’ve spent quite some time together.Doesn’t that make up for the debt?Haven’t you had enough of me?”“I haven’t.”He drawled.Clenching her fists,she choked out.”Very well then,you can call me when you need me.”He smirked.”Miss Howard, your professionalism is truly commendable.”Daphne’s anger surged,leading her to kick him on the leg.Griffin,writhing in pain presented Daphne an opportunity to leave the bedroom.As she hurried out,Griffin made after her.Just as she was about to open the main entrance door of the house,Griffin grabbed her hand,turning her around to face him.“Are you really leaving me?”Daphne looked away from him.She strongly refused to be swayed by him.“Let me go,Griffin.”His teeth clenched and his hand tightened around hers.“My…my mother sent us some food.You can’t possibly refuse it.Come on,l
The house was so quiet.The silence felt too depressing for Griffin.Sighing,he got all the dishes and unceremoniously dumped them into a trash bag.After changing his clothes,he descended the stairs and carelessly discarded the bag into a nearby bin.She was just a woman.Sure,he had been madly attracted to her but he believed he could do without her!*************With her luggage in tow,Daphne drove to her newly rented apartment.The cozy abode was fully furnished.She briefly tidied up and restocked essential supplies.For the next few days,she didn’t hear from Griffin.He didn’t call or text her and she didn’t reach out to him either.She tried to be positive,always assuring herself that it was better this way.Gradually,she started to get used to living alone.Every day,she immersed herself in the music studio, her time consumed with work.She went to work very early and got home late.She was doing all she could so as not to think about Griffin and how she missed him.A week late
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
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
