Chapter 1540 Say One Thing and Mean Another

Author: Tiny Mountains
Ned smirked. She wouldn’t be able to handle him if he were to be any better at this!

He slept with her in his arms, and the heat from his body almost burned her. Eventually, Cassandra drifted off to sleep.

It was 10:30 a.m. when she woke up the next morning. She hadn’t felt that tired last night, so why had she slept for so long? And she felt like she had been to hell and back.

Ned was already shaving.

When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw her bare shoulders and half-lidded eyes.

The heater was on, so the room was warm and cozy. He didn’t have a shirt on.

Cassandra turned away from his chiseled body, as if she couldn’t care less.

As he shaved, he walked over to her and grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look at him. “Don’t have the nerve to look at me?”

“You jest, President Lawrence. What’s there to be afraid of?” Cassandra didn’t back down.

They stared into each other’s eyes for a few seconds. “Aren’t you going to work today?”

“No. I just got back, so I’m going to unpack a

    Ned didn't reply for a long time. As a result, Cassandra didn't reply to her tutor's message for a long while too.He was probably very busy because the new year just began.After half the day had gone by, he finally replied.Ned: [I told you it'll start next week, not this Friday. Did you hear something else, or did you miss me? Are you addicted?]Cassandra was disappointed that he wouldn't be coming, but she replied to him anyway.Cassandra: [I'm just letting you know. Don't come.]Ned didn't respond to her.Cassandra originally wanted to tell her tutor that she wanted to go, but her tutor replied to her saying otherwise.Sam: [Cassandra, I'm going to Mylar with Annie. Make sure you finish everything up at home.]Cassandra: [Okay.]It seemed Cassandra wouldn't be able to go on the trip this time.On Thursday, Sam and Annie departed. The lab required a new batch of test tubes and beakers. Since Sam wasn't around, the task of purchasing fell to Cassandra.Usually, equipment

    Ned gave Sam a call on the phone. "Cassandra initially wanted to go, but she later said she couldn't," Sam explained.Ned sat at his desk at New East Investment. Why else did she not go for the work trip? It was definitely because he said he wasn't going to her place, hence why she decided not to go. She previously said she was going because she wanted to avoid him.Knowing how badly she wanted to avoid him, he intentionally made it hard for her to do so.When it was almost time to get off work on Friday, Sam and Annie returned from Mylar.Annie entered Cassandra's office as soon as they arrived. "Cassandra, I have a task. I want to go to your house tonight and have you cook for us. I need a suitable video for a Phosphorescence advertisement. My idea is to cook at your place. Just play along. Don't have dinner tonight, okay?""Huh?" Cassandra was very confused. She didn't know how Annie's advertisement had anything to do with her, nor what it was for. Anyway, it was all very confu

    Cassandra gave Ned the side eye before switching on the kitchen hood. She had to boil the prawns and luncheon meat. Of course, with the kitchen hood switched on, Annie wouldn't overhear their conversation."I thought you weren't coming," Cassandra muttered.It sounded like she was complaining that he didn't come at the right time."I miss you, and that's why I'm here," Ned replied nonchalantly.Cassandra's heart started pounding. She didn't know why she couldn't control it each time it happened."Clean the vegetables! I'll boil the prawns and whatnot," Cassandra said.After boiling the water, she turned around to retrieve the prawns. As soon as she turned around, Ned kissed her cheek. His unexpected action took her by surprise, and her heart raced."What are you doing?!" Cassandra quickly wiped her face. She prepared to place the prawns in the pot.Ned wrapped her arms around her waist from behind and reached into her shirt. Cassandra's entire body shivered, but she held firmly

    "You and Annie talked about this, didn't you? You knew it was an advertisement for a spicy hot pot maker, and you wanted to get my genuine reaction." Cassandra plated the vegetables, displeased."Aren't you enjoying it?" Ned asked.Cassandra ignored him. She felt that they had set her up. They were making money for Phosphorescence and for Ned, but she was the only one being used like a tool.Annie even left behind a lot of spicy hot pot ingredients. The sponsor gave Annie these to try, and she said Cassandra could eat them whenever. Besides, Cassandra liked spicy food.After the meal, Annie left without asking any questions.While Cassandra did the dishes, Ned leaned against the doorframe. "Cook spicy hot pot for me on Monday. I'll take some with me.""Monday? Are you still here on Monday?" Cassandra was taken aback."I meant for you to take it to the office!" Ned was annoyed by how Cassandra wanted to kick her guest out. His tone wasn't particularly friendly."Hmm, fine. I tho

    There was something Cassandra couldn't quite figure out. Since she liked Calvin's personality so much, why didn't she have any feelings for him? Yet, for some unknown reason, she had no resistance whatsoever toward Ned. He had found a place in her heart so deep that she couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard she tried.Cassandra stared blankly at her computer."I asked you a question. What kind of man do you like?" Ned asked.Cassandra pretended to have just heard his question. She gave her glasses a nudge. "I like men who are like Mr. Conrad.""Hmph. You actually like him," Ned replied in a jealous manner."Are you surprised?" Cassandra asked coldly."Not at all. He's everyone's lover. Looks like Ash has found herself a competitor," Ned said.Cassandra ignored him and continued to work on her report. "Go to bed. I need to finish this report.""I'll wait for you."These words were the most heart-warming words a woman could expect to hear from her man. It sounded like he wa

    Fiona earnestly persuaded Jeremy, and Jeremy also convinced himself of this fact. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between him and Cassandra. Cassandra didn't tell him anything the last time, and she didn't even try to explain her circumstances. This time, he wanted to give her an opportunity to explain herself. He wanted to hear from Cassandra that nothing was going on between her and Ned.This was why he came.Before coming, he prepared himself for two outcomes. If Cassandra explained to him properly and said they were still a couple, he would continue staying in Genovia. Even if his business wasn't doing very well here, he would still work hard for her sake. After all, he had his family's support. At the very least, they could live a comfortable life. If Cassandra refused to explain to him, or she was firmly in love with Ned, he would return to Lesia. After all, his home was there. His connections and roots were all in Lesia. Before getting to know Cassandra, he had already th

    Cassandra had had her own opinions regarding the research of corpses. She had always thought that since Lawrence Pharmaceutical had the largest pharmaceutical factory in Genovia, it was a waste that they didn't have their own facility to store corpses. When she was in Emmeria, she once did cadaveric studies of cancerous lesions. She knew how important corpses were as a resource.Of course, corpses were high in demand whether in medical schools or pharmaceutical labs.Cassandra pondered about mentioning this to Sam in her report on corpses.After sending Sam a message on Whatsapp, she thought of texting "Saving Mankind". She wanted to find out who "Saving Mankind" was when she collected the report.However, she decided against it in the end as she felt the need to remain cautious when meeting strangers. Even if she wanted to meet him, it was already Sunday tomorrow. It wouldn't be nice to make him come out during the weekend.Sometimes, not getting too close to someone wasn't a bad

He was a good person, and he was smart to boot. His family was wealthy to begin with. Gradually, he became one of the richest businessmen in Genovia.

His philosophy of investing was to not put all his eggs in one basket.But no matter how rich the Zimmerman family was, they still paled in comparison to the Lawrence family.

    Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the

    Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce

    Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres

  • Love in Twilight   Chapter 2114 Something Urgent to Talk to Him About

    Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec

    Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use

    For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student

    On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon

    "Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A

    After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look. From her appearance, I think she's dressed very well. Moreover, I can see her face from her bone structure. I think
