“Blair, I know Fowler Enterprise has made a lot of preparations for the project. If you let me have it, I’ll bear all your losses.” Mable was not lacking in money. However, it was a government project and was not something that could be bought. Given Jefferson Enterprise’s background and strength, they could not compete with Fowler Enterprise. That said, it would be a different story if Blair was willing to help Mable. Blair looked at Mable. He did not know whether to laugh or get angry. “Mabes, just tell me if you want the project.” ‘You didn’t have to accept me for this.’ Mable did not understand. “Didn’t I just tell you?” Blair only stared at her. At this moment, the doorbell rang. Blair stood up and said, “I’ll get the door.” It was Amos. He brought kitchen supplies and some ingredients. Blair took them to the kitchen and started cooking without a word. Mable sent Amos away and went to the kitchen to hug Blair from behind. “Can you fry an egg on the side for
‘How dare he think my feelings are fake?’ Mable stood frozen in place. She only snapped back to her senses when she heard the sound of the door slamming. Blair was gone, and she was the only one left in the empty house. It was dead silent. Mable looked at the half-eaten food on the dining table and felt like crying. ‘Blair, you scumbag. Who are you to say that my feelings for you are false?’ “Bastard!” … Blair returned to the Royal View Villa mad. He went swimming to calm himself down. His mood rose and fell throughout the night before ending in disappointment. He needed to calm down. Nonetheless, he could not get rid of Mable’s image in his head. ‘That heartless woman!’ Blair wanted her to accept him wholeheartedly. Even if she did not love him as much as he loved her, he would not be used or deceived. Blair swam for two hours before returning to his room to change his clothes. Then, he went going to the study. He was so enraged by Mable that he could n
Blair could guess why Mable was here. It must be for the northern suburb project. He did not see her not because he did not want to but because he did not want to hear her talk about work. It would make him lose control of his emotions and feel like their relationship was just a deal. In fact, Blair was more worried about losing control of his emotions and hurting her. Throughout his years of living, Mable was the only one who could affect his emotions so much. Whenever he faced her, he could not control his emotions very well. A word from her would change his mood. As Blair did not say anything, Solomon became even more curious. He looked teasingly at Blair and asked, “Did Mable do something shocking again?” Blair answered after a moment of silence. “She accepted my confession.” Solomon slammed the table. “Isn’t that a good thing?” ‘Your hard work came to fruition!’ Blair did not say anything. … Downstairs. Mable was mad after hearing what Tracey said. Sh
As Old Master Morse listened, he nodded and said gratefully, “Mabes, thank you so much. All these years, I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night almost every night due to the pain in my knees. It was a rare good night’s sleep last night.” Dylan was also very grateful. “Yeah, Ms. Jefferson. Thank you so much.” “You’re welcome, Mr. Morse.” After having lunch at the Morse Residence, Mable did acupuncture on Old Master Morse again. Howard sent her off when she left in the afternoon. On the way back, Howard drove while paying attention to Mable in the passenger seat. “Are you waiting for a call?” Mable kept staring at her phone. It was obvious that she was either waiting for a call or a message. “No.” Mable put her phone in her bag and looked outside. Howard asked after a moment of silence, “Mable, can I ask you for a favor?” “Hm?” “I’m going to a charity auction tonight, and I’m lacking a companion.” Mable raised her eyebrow. At the red light ahead, Howard st
Lesley walked into GOOC and spotted the gold sequined fishtail gown right away. It was so beautiful! She immediately walked over and pointed at the gown in the salesperson’s hands. “Bring it over, and let me try it on!” The salesperson’s eyes lit up when she saw Lesley. “Okay, Ms. Witherford. Please wait a moment!” Lesley was their VIP customer. She would definitely buy whatever she had her eyes on. The salesperson strode over with a bright smile as if she had gotten a generous commission. Tracey rushed up and stopped in front of the salesperson. “Stop right there! We saw the gown first. Why are you bringing it to her instead?!” She could not stand snobbish salespeople like her! Lesley pushed her away. “So what if you saw it first? You didn’t pay for it. Get out of the way!” “Tracey!” Mable was quick to react. She caught Tracey and prevented her from falling. Afterward, she looked at Lesley and said, “Miss, first come, first served.” Lesley rolled her eyes at he
“Ha, I’ve never seen someone so pretentious. The store manager took a day off today to deal with personal matters. How can she come over within ten minutes? Who do you think you are?!” The salesperson said. Mable smiled faintly at the salesperson. “You’ll find out soon.” Tracey looked at her with bright eyes. Based on her understanding of Mable, the tables would be turned later! Mable looked at Lesley, who was glaring at her from the side. “Sorry, I can’t let you have it. I like this gown too. You can pick something else.” Lesley glared furiously at her. “I want it today!” Ever since she was a child, no one had dared snatch things from her. She would get whatever she had her eyes on, no matter what it took. Besides, this was just a gown! Lesley took out her bank card and handed it to the salesperson. “I’m not trying it anymore. Pack up the gown for me—I’m buying it!” The salesperson happily accepted the card and said, “Okay, Ms. Witherford!” A dark glint flashed acr
GOOC’s store manager told the salesperson, “This is GOOC’s CEO.” The salesperson widened her eyes in shock. “You…!!!” ‘Shit!’ She had just said that Mable was poor and disliked her for not being able to afford anything in the store. Lesley also looked at Mable in shock. ‘She’s GOOC’s CEO? ‘I couldn’t tell!’ When the salesperson realized Mable’s identity, she was so scared that she froze. She apologized with a bow. “I’m sorry, boss. I’m sorry for—” Joseph looked at her. Guessing she offended Mable, he said, “You don’t have to come tomorrow!” The salesperson turned pale. If she was dismissed by GOOC, other stores would not hire her. Mable said indifferently to Joseph, “I remember that GOOC’s employees have to be uniformly trained before being employed. If I find out there are more employees who look down on and bully others, you can also say goodbye to your job!” Joseph bowed repeatedly. “I understand. I’ll be sure to keep an eye on their training in the future.”
Mable plopped onto the sofa, a little dejected. She and Blair had just officially gotten together last night. Were breaking up already? ‘Hmph! ‘Scum!’ She somewhat regretted it. She should not have agreed to be with him so easily. Men were all the same. They would do anything during the pursuit but would not cherish women once they were together. The more Mable thought about it, the sadder she became. Seeing as it was getting late, she began to put on makeup and get ready. ‘Blair, you’re ignoring me, huh? Just you wait!’ Mable styled her hair, did her makeup, and changed her clothes… It was 5:30 p.m. when she was done. Howard also arrived on time. Howard was stunned when he saw Mable walking out of the apartment. Mable was an absolute beauty, with great features and a perfect figure. It was hard to ignore her beauty, even when she was casually dressed. Now that Mable was all dressed up, she seemed generous and confident. Every move she made was elegant, and one
