Author: Tiny Mountains
last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
After transferring the money to her father, Michelle thought, ‘I think I’ll keep this credit card and return the debit card to Neil.’

Neil knew about her paying her father back because he received a message when the transaction went through. Thanks to that, he now knew exactly how much the suit cost.

During dinner that night, Michelle put the debit card on the dining table, intending to return it.

“You keep it.” Neil pushed it back to her.

“The credit card’s more than enough.”

“Some places don’t accept credit cards, and you don’t get paid that much. You can’t rely on your father’s money forever.”

Michelle almost choked on her food. Was he looking down on her pay? She was her company’s creative director and had a base pay of 15 thousand a month. Along with her commission, she earned an average of 40 to 50 thousand a month. She had only graduated a year ago, and she’d gotten this job on her own instead of relying on her family. Her salary was a lot higher than the average fresh gra

    When Michelle got home, she put the neckties in the living room.“I bought you a few ties,” she said to Neil.He merely glanced at them nonchalantly and grunted in acknowledgment.“Did you buy them to show me up because I said that you didn’t get paid much?” He suddenly wanted to make fun of her.Michelle felt a little awkward at this. She held a hand out and said, “That didn’t even occur to me. Since I can’t afford them, you should pay me back, shouldn’t you? Why should I let you make fun of me like this after buying you something? Give me the money!”She spread her palm.Perhaps he was still affected by the sight of her feet from the other night, so he couldn’t help scrutinizing her hand.From what he could remember of their only night together, he hadn’t touched her hands at all. Either that, or he had already forgotten what they had felt like. All he knew was that he had felt amazing that night.Now that he was looking at her hand up close, he could see that her fingers wer

    Michelle stopped filling her glass and thought, ‘Man, he’s crazy! I didn’t do anything to offend him, did I? I even bought him neckties!’What a psycho! He had successfully ruined her good mood.She went back to her room.At 4:00 a.m.Neil’s phone suddenly started ringing. He answered it groggily.Ariana’s weeps rang out immediately. “Neil, I’m sick! I feel hot and cold at the same time, and I just measured my temperature. I’m burning up, and I feel weak all over. Can you take me to the hospital?”She coughed while speaking, and her voice was hoarse. It looked like she was really sick.Neil checked the time. It was only 4:30 a.m. He had an important meeting with a new client later in the day, and this client was the largest and most well-known cable distributor in the southern region of the country. New East Corporation was looking to expand into the cable industry and had to find a distributor as quickly as possible. It wouldn’t do for him to be late for the meeting, which was

    Ariana averted her head, tears streaking down her face. She felt upset and wronged. She and Neil had gotten together first.“Don’t say that.” Neil held her hand tightly.She forced out a smile through her tears.“Neil, I’m hungry. Can you get me something to eat? I wanted to have dinner with you last night, so I didn’t eat. You didn’t show up, though.” A tear rolled down her face again.Guilt washed over Neil. He was the one who had asked her to return, and here he was, neglecting her.“Hold on a sec, okay?” He left to get her some food.He came back after around half an hour. He had some oats, fish and chips, and eggs.“Why’d you buy fish and chips? I don’t like that!” Ariana couldn’t help laughing. “Did you forget that I like fish fillets?”“Yeah, I must’ve forgotten.” He left again to get her fish fillets.On the way, he kept wondering who was the one who liked fish and chips. After racking his brain, it occurred to him—Michelle was the one. He told himself that he had only

    Neil showered the moment he went back home. After he had some food in the dining room, he noticed the tie that Michelle had bought for him yesterday. He picked it up and touched the fabric. It was indeed made out of prime material. He wore it around his neck and changed into a suit."What's wrong with President Lawrence today? We agreed to meet at 10 sharp. It's already 10:10! Why isn’t he here yet? We're here on time even though we live far away. How arrogant of him to treat dealers like us with disrespect!" Mr. Abraham, the president of a distributor company, wasn't a man with a good temper either. Although New East was a renowned company in Genovia, Mr. Abraham was the real expert in the sales of cables in Genovia. Thus, he was quite a proud man. "I'll leave if he doesn't show up in 5 minutes! If he thinks I'll still be New East's distributor, he's dead wrong!""Sir, calm down. I'm sure President Lawrence is caught up with something today. Or else, he wouldn't have made us wait

    Mr. Abraham stared at Neil.“Mr. Abraham, are you leaving now?” Neil put his hand in his pocket and said, “I apologize for being late. I was stuck in traffic congestion just now. Let’s head to the conference room to discuss our partnership.”At first, Mr. Abraham was fuming. However, he didn’t say a word and returned to the building when he saw Neil.When Calvin and his colleagues saw Mr. Abraham’s reaction, they were puzzled. Why would he turn silent the moment he saw Neil? Was Neil really that intimidating?In the conference room, Mr. Abraham was very welcoming of Neil. In the end, he agreed to everything that Neil proposed and signed a partnership contract with Mr. Abraham. In the middle of the discussion, Neil’s phone rang a few times. He looked at his phone and scrolled through the messages before resuming the conversation. Although Mr. Abraham was irked by Neil’s attitude, he didn’t express his temper either.To that, Calvin was bewildered.In the end, Neil signed a contrac

    In the end, Mr. Abraham left the company in a good mood. Compared to his father-in-law, Neil’s attitude was way much better. Mr. Abraham used to live a poor life when he was young, which was why he had a conservative mindset in life. However, he was a man who loved his wife and his father-in-law dearly. Since his father-in-law’s birthday was still 10 days away, he could still wait 7 days for the necktie to arrive.After Mr. Abraham left, Neil’s phone rang. It was Ariana.“Hello, Neil. Are you done with your conference? If you are, can you come to the hospital to visit me?” Ariana’s voice was frail and soft. “I don’t want to be alone in the hospital. I’m scared.”Her sobbing voice echoed through the receiver.Neil knew that Ariana had always been a scaredy cat.Neil said with a gentle voice, “Is the IV drip finished?”“Yes, it is,” Ariana said.“Are you sure you can’t go back home alone?” Neil sounded concerned.“I don’t want to go home alone! Can you pick me up?”“Sure, I’ll s

    Around twelve at noon, Ariana’s parents went to the hospital.By then, Ariana was already done with her IV drip, and was on the bed waiting patiently for Neil’s return. She had even reserved a lounge in a restaurant, hoping that she could have lunch with him today.When Ariana saw her parents, she was shocked. She hadn’t told her parents that she had returned to Genovia. Why were they here now?“Ariana, let’s go home.” Ariana’s father, Howard Fergusen, pulled her right hand while her mother held her other one.“Dad? Why are you here? How do you know that I’m here?” Ariana asked curiously. This afternoon, she planned to spend some quality time with Neil. She didn’t expect her parents to show up at all.“Dad, how do you know that I’m here?” Ariana asked again.“Ariana, do you know what you’ve done? Because of you, Neil was late to a meeting that could land New East a new business partnership. Damien Lawrence called me just now and accused you of hampering their success. I’m sure Ne

    After dinner, Neil went to Michelle’s room.Michelle didn’t lock the door. He pushed the door gently and went inside.She was sitting on the bed, flipping through a magazine with the lights on.He approached her bedside and placed his hand on her forehead.Feeling the warmth of his hand, Michelle remembered how sensual it felt the last time he had done the same.“I don’t have a fever. Earlier, I stayed in an air-conditioned room for too long. After I came out of it, the sudden change in temperature gave me a headache,” Michelle explained.After Neil made sure that she was fine, he said, “Rest well.”Before Neil closed the door, he was about to switch off the lights when Michelle stopped him.“Don’t switch off the lights. I’m reading,” she said nervously. “Don’t you feel unwell?” Neil stared at Michelle.She frowned, placed the book at one side, and slid into the covers.Only then did Neil leave.Around three in the middle of the night, Neil was awakened by some noises outs

    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

    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.
