The morning sun was just beginning to rise on Saturday, casting a soft, pale glow over the city. The early autumn sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, bathing the streets in a gentle, warm light. Leaves had already started turning yellow on the rows of sycamore trees lining the avenue, and a few drifted gently to the ground, adding to the quiet, reflective mood of the day. Emily stood outside the familiar coffee shop, her floral dress fluttering slightly in the breeze. She closed her eyes for a moment, tilting her head upwards, letting the cool morning air brush against her cheeks, as if to prepare herself for the conversation ahead.

Inside her, emotions swirled, a tide of uncertainty and determination clashing within her. On the surface, she appeared calm, yet beneath that calm facade was a storm of confusion, sadness, and resolve. Her heart was like those fallen leaves, fragile and ready to be carried away by the slightest gust of wind. She glanced down at her wristwatch, the

    The morning sunlight filtered through the half-drawn curtains, highlighting the tidy room that Emily sat in. The warmth of the day contrasted sharply with the sudden chill that crept up her spine as she listened to the voice on the other end of the phone. She'd nearly choked on the sip of water she was taking, her fingers momentarily freezing, the glass suspended in mid-air.“Emily, this is the HR department of the company you’re about to join. Sorry to disturb you. We’re reviewing your entry information, and we noticed that you marked your marital status as 'married' on the form. We need you to provide some basic details about your spouse, including their name, ID number, and contact information so that we can facilitate related insurance processes for your spouse,” the HR representative said, in her polite, professional tone.Emily could almost hear her own heart stop. “Married?” she instinctively echoed, her voice trembling, the word tinged with confusion.

    When the elevator doors opened, they were greeted by a spacious banquet hall, warmly lit with soft golden lights that filled the entire space. In the center of the hall were tables lined with an assortment of exquisite pastries and drinks, and the seating was arranged thoughtfully around the room. From a nearby wall of glass windows, one could overlook the breathtaking city skyline at night.The hall was already quite lively, filled with well-dressed men and women holding champagne flutes, gathered in small groups, chatting softly among themselves.As Emily and Claire walked into the hall, they noticed quite a few eyes had already fallen on them. Emily had the kind of charm that seemed straight out of an old movie—something of a classic beauty, with a blend of both vintage and modern appeal. Moving under the banquet hall’s lights, she looked like a protagonist from a film, dazzling and composed. No matter where she went, wh

  • My Ex-Girlfriend is Trending Again!   017 A Surprising Remark

    The banquet hall was ablaze with lights and the air filled with chatter. Laughter and conversations wove a tapestry of noise all around. Emily and Alex walked side by side to a quiet corner of the room, settling onto a secluded sofa. From where they sat, they could see the city lights twinkling through the window, a silent panorama set against their own private tension.Alex still bore that cold, intense demeanor, seemingly indifferent to the festive clamor. He was always a man of few words, never the type to easily strike up a conversation. Even at a social gathering like this, his reserved nature set him apart from others. Many women tried to approach him, but his natural aloofness kept most of them at bay. To be fair, Alex had never been good at interacting with women, and he had never seriously pursued anyone. He had his share of admirers, but never returned their affections.But now, he had taken the initiative to interact with Emily.Alex sat down on the sofa, casually took out

    The night had grown deep, the world outside plunged into a quiet stillness. Emily dragged her exhausted body back home, the door clicking softly behind her as she finally let her emotions seep out. She exhaled a long breath, the kind that held in it a day's worth of tension, and slowly slipped off her high heels and coat. She collapsed onto the couch, closing her eyes as if by doing so, she could melt away the day's fatigue. The networking event had drained her both emotionally and physically, every muscle in her body rebelling against her.In the tranquil silence of the night, she eventually sat up, rubbing her temples before reluctantly opening her laptop to deal with a mountain of unfinished emails. As soon as she clicked on her inbox, one particular email from her new company's HR caught her attention. She clicked into it, the subject line just as formal and mundane as any other, but its contents made her frown.The email detailed the various documents she needed to bring for her

    The neon lights glimmered in the night, casting a kaleidoscope of colors along the streets. Emily raised her eyes to the glowing sign of "Aleisha Restaurant," gently adjusting the hem of her cream-colored dress as she strode towards the entrance, her high heels clicking rhythmically against the pavement. Aleisha was a renowned Michelin-starred establishment in the city. Typically, she preferred simple, healthy home-cooked meals—cheaper, with no hidden costs. But tonight was different. She needed something from him, and whatever money she needed to spend was justified.She had chosen a vivid red lipstick that made her face glow, her confident smile accentuating her radiant features. The fitted dress hugged her waist and traced her curves, emphasizing her feminine grace. As she moved through the night, she was a picture of poise and allure, like a striking breeze gliding through the city. People turned to look, drawn to her aura of independence and elegance.The soft lights inside the r

    Autumn sunlight spilled across Emily’s desk, filtering through the curtains, while the leaves outside danced in the gentle breeze, bringing with them a hint of coolness. Emily sat at her desk, her finger gently gliding over her phone’s screen. Time was running out. There were only two weeks left until she started her new job, and the crucial "spousal information" still hadn’t been finalized.She took a deep breath, anxiety spreading like vines, entangling every nerve in her body. She had wanted to remind Alex about it more than once, but each time she picked up her phone, she hesitated. She knew Alex was not an easy person to deal with—being too pushy would only make her seem desperate.With a sigh, she picked up her phone and opened her chat with Alex. She quickly typed a message, her finger hovering over the “Send” button before pausing. She frowned, feeling her words were too blunt, so she deleted them and opted for a more gentle tone, trying to make her urgency less apparent.Emil

    "Engagement Agreement?" Emily couldn't believe her eyes. She looked up, her gaze filled with disbelief and confusion. Her heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, and her fingers trembled slightly as they held onto the document. "I only wanted to borrow your personal information. Why is this an engagement agreement?"She had expected a simple agreement, something to temporarily deal with her new job requirements. An engagement? This was far beyond anything she could have imagined. She stared at Alex, trying to discern some explanation from his otherwise composed expression.Alex, however, remained as unperturbed as ever, as if he had anticipated her reaction all along. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, a faint smile playing on them, his eyes calm and unwavering, exuding an air of complete control, as if everything had unfolded just as he planned."Personal information," he said, his voice steady, confident, almost detached, "is not something to be shared casually.

I want to treat you to dinner as a celebration.A smile tugged at the corners of Emily's lips, and she quickly typed a response:Emily: I’m all set, Claire. I’ll be starting next Monday at 10 a.m.A few moments later, her phone buzzed again with another message from Claire:Claire: That’s fantastic! Lunch is on me that day.

    After finishing their game, Sara headed to the locker room to change, and Jay, without hesitation, followed her in, quickly shutting the door behind them. The demands of the Black Friday project had kept them both incredibly busy, and it had been a while since they last had a rendezvous. To make things worse, Jay's wife had recently taken to dropping by unannounced on weekends, which left them no room for privacy. The secluded locker room seemed like the perfect opportunity—a rare moment for Jay to indulge himself.As soon as Jay stepped inside, his desire got the better of him. He wasted no time in pressing Sara against the wall, his hands already roaming. Sara tried to push him back, whispering urgently, "Don't—someone might be in the next room."Jay's eyes were filled with hunger as he locked his gaze onto hers. "I already checked," he growled.

    Beneath the bustling city lights, a web of desire and danger quietly unfurled like an undercurrent hidden behind the glamorous surface. The sun filtered through the towering buildings, illuminating every corner of the city, yet it seemed unable to pierce the shadows lurking beneath the gloss.Jay, an ambitious middle-aged man, was determined to regain Leo's trust. He scoured for information until he learned that the CEO of Aurelius Capital had an unbreakable habit—every last Saturday of the month, he would be at the golf course.

    After hanging up the phone, Alex's eyes remained cold, his fingers lightly tapping on the table. He knew Leo would thoroughly investigate the matter, but he was also aware that the malicious report against Emily was far from simple. The anonymous letter was clearly just the tip of an iceberg, hiding beneath it a formidable force. Somewhere along the way, Emily had unknowingly stepped on someone's toes, or perhaps she had become their target.On the other end of the call, Leo ended the conversation with a faint smirk. There were people with hidden agendas in the company—he had long suspected it. Such a cunning, malicious report was beyond the capabilities of an average employee. It was time to test just how deep this murky water ran.The morning sun streamed through the glass of the office building, illuminating the polished floors with a warm glow. Emily entered the office with a hint of apprehension, the lingering unease of yesterday's events refusing to leave her mind. The weight of

    The night had settled in, casting a gentle glow across the room as Emily carefully set the dinner table. She arranged the dishes with precision: pan-seared salmon glistening with golden perfection, bright red poached shrimp piled neatly on a platter, a fresh salad with crisp greens, and a bottle of handpicked red wine to complement the meal. Every dish reflected the care and thought she had put into this dinner, her own subtle way of expressing gratitude. As Alex entered the living room, his eyes scanned the table, a hint of admiration lingering in their depths.“Looks good,” he said in his low, even tone, as he pulled out a chair and took a seat.Emily gave him a gentle smile, settling into the seat across from him, lifting her glass for a toast. “Thank you for all your help,” she said warmly, “and also, thank you for the gift you brought back today.”The gift from Alex was a delicate silk scarf, its soft fabric and intricate pattern clearly marked it as something special, crafted by

    The morning sunlight poured through the window, bathing the room in a golden warmth. As Emily thought of how well the Black Friday project was progressing, a sense of fulfillment washed over her, and she couldn't help but smile. Sitting comfortably on her bed, she reached for her phone, wanting to thank Alex in some way for his support. After thinking for a moment, she drafted a subtle message to him:Emily: "Hey Alex, what evening are you free this week?"Alex: "I'm free all week. Have you suddenly grown a conscience and want to make it up to me?"Reading his teasing response, Emily couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling her heartbeat pick up just a little. She typed back with a smile:Emily: "Hmm... I might be able to leave on time today, so why don't you come over for dinner tonight?"Seconds later, his reply appeared, just as simple but laced with his familiar hint of mischief:Alex: "Sure, looking forward to my 'compensation'."Emily couldn't suppress her smile as she stared at the w

    The soft morning sunlight filtered through the marble-glass windows of the company's headquarters, spilling gently into the spacious training hall. The brightness lit up the room, wrapping it in a warm, dignified glow, as if welcoming the new employees who had entered, full of expectations. Emily's steps were light as she walked into the hall, her expression reflecting her bright spirit. She wore a simple yet stylish business outfit, her hair tied in a neat ponytail, and her face was bare of any makeup, except for a touch of skincare that left her complexion radiant and fresh. Even without elaborate adornment, her natural beauty—those expressive eyes and the soft, genuine smile curving her lips—turned her into a sight that caught everyone's attention, a refreshing breeze amidst the formal environment.She paused politely in front of the sign-in desk, offering a gentle greeting to the staff.

    The first rays of early morning light filtered gently through the curtains, bathing the room in a soft glow. Emily stirred in her sleep, slowly turning over, her mind still lost in a lingering sense of warmth. In her dream, Alex’s aristocratic face hovered close, his dark eyes smoldering with intensity. She could almost feel his breath against her skin, his lips hot as they met hers, a kiss that was both dominating and burning. Every inch of him was pressed tightly against her, his hand sliding around her waist with a possessive strength that both captivated and overwhelmed her. Their breaths mingled, and the sensation of being engulfed by him seemed to erase everything else, each heartbeat echoing louder until it felt as if nothing existed outside of that heated entanglement.Emily could feel herself losing herself in the fervor of that dream, slipping further into a desire that felt dangerously deep.Suddenly, she gasped, her eyes snapping open, the vividness of the dream evaporatin

    When Emily received Jay's company message, her heart skipped a beat, and a swirl of questions instantly flooded her mind. Why was Jay calling for her so suddenly? They barely had any one-on-one interactions before. Was there something wrong with the design submission, or was it that the campaign plan needed some last-minute adjustments? She took a deep breath, straightened the paperwork on her desk, and walked towards the tech department.Jay's desk was at the corner of the tech department, positioned near the window. A few desk lamps bathed his workspace in a soft glow, highlighting his calm and composed silhouette. When he saw Emily approach, he gestured towards the empty chair beside him, indicating that she should sit. Emily felt her nerves tighten, and she took the seat obediently, doing her best to appear composed."I can't seem to find the final version of the Black Friday designs in the system," Jay said in a measured, polite tone.
