She could find no retort.-In the end, Lisa brought Terry home with her.When they arrived home, Lisa's parents welcomed Terry enthusiastically. They even asked him to stay for dinner.Terry naturally agreed, much to Lisa's horror. She was worried that he might blurt out her secret if he stayed for too long.Lisa dragged Terry into her room almost immediately after the meal. "When are you going to leave?""Why are you so eager for me to leave?" he asked with raised eyebrows.She laughed dryly. "I'm worried that my parents' enthusiasm might annoy you. As you know, they really think that you're my boyfriend, so they must be asking you all kinds of questions.""They're not annoying. Chatting with them is quite interesting," said Terry. He could learn new things about her like her childhood experiences by chatting with her parents. They would often mention things like that in passing."Also, from now on, no matter what problem you run into, remember to call me. You're not allowed
"Well... it's not like I could make a public announcement that I found a boyfriend," If she did, her co-workers would think that she's crazy."Is that so? Okay, I understand," he said.She blinked in confusion. What did he understand? Why did she have a feeling that she did not understand?-The next day, everyone in Lisa's workplace was talking about yesterday's incident. The way Lisa's co-workers looked at her had changed.Some of her coworkers were even making snide remarks at her, "Why do you have to barge into the relationship between Jessica and Gavin, Lisa?""Yeah! Even if you want to be a homewrecker, you shouldn't do it in our institute!"Lisa scoffed. She did not back down at all. "What do you mean I'm a homewrecker? If you have no idea what's going on then stop spouting nonsense! There's no way I would fall for a man like Gavin Stanton. If I do, I'll gouge out my own eyes!""You're just talking big. Gavin graduated from a good university. He'll be transferred to the
Lisa was about to hurl more insults at Jessica when her eyes caught sight of the entrance. The director of their institute was currently walking through the entrance, but what caught her attention was not the director but the person beside him. That person was... Terry?!Lisa blinked a few times in disbelief. She confirmed that she was not seeing things. It really was Terry.Terry had obviously seen her but he did not say hi to her. He merely gave her a little smile and kept talking to the director.From what Lisa could see, the director was talking to Terry in a very respectful manner. The director asked his secretary to make some tea and bring it to his office.Lisa could understand why he was being so respectful. Their design institute was not that famous in Solaria. The main institute was at least somewhat well-known, but the second institute was often viewed as just a stepping stone to get into the main institute.Meanwhile, Terry White was the person in charge of the White M
Lisa stole a glance at Terry. He was well dressed and looked like a gentleman. He was indeed good looking! No wonder she would do that kind of thing to him when she got drunk in the past.Speaking of which, he had a really nice figure too. He might look slightly thin, but he was actually lean and muscular... Although Lisa was looking at Terry, she was actually thinking about the body that she had once seen...She suddenly blushed and immediately lowered her head. She told herself to stop thinking about those things.Terry looked towards Lisa. He saw that she was sitting in a corner with her head bowed. He had no idea what she was thinking about.The sight of Lisa put a smile on Terry's face.The director of the second institute asked Terry, "Shall we begin, Mr. White?""Sure," Terry replied with a faint smile.Thus, the director started the meeting. First, he introduced Terry, then he introduced some of their institute's past projects.He did not forget to point out Jessica to
Everyone at the design firm thought it was true. After all, Shen Ziyu was quite a catch while Qin Lianyi was just a nobody at the design firm. She came from an ordinary family background and had ordinary looks as well. It was quite normal for her to be interested in a man like Shen Ziyu.After what happened yesterday, many colleagues were on Zhou Jiewen's side.Many felt that even though Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu were keeping their relationship low-key without anyone knowing, Qin Lianyi should not try to steal him away.However, who would have thought Qin Lianyi's boyfriend would be Bai Tingxin, the president of Bai Feng Group!If they compared Bai Tingxin and Shen Ziyu, were the results not obvious? Bai Tingxin won in every way!If Qin Lianyi had a boyfriend like Bai Tingxin and still seduced Shen Ziyu... That was impossible, no?Immediately, many colleagues who had been partial to Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu changed the way they looked at them and began to wonder if things were n
Terry spun around and turned to Gavin. After a short moment of silence, he chuckled. "I see. It must have been a misunderstanding, then."Gavin's face flushed red at Terry's look of contempt and dismissive tone. Terry was clearly insinuating that Gavin was beneath him, but Gavin could not argue.Terry turned to Lisa again. "Just tell me if there are any other misunderstandings. Don't let people think you don't have a boyfriend."After saying that, Terry even patted Lisa's head affectionately. For a moment, Lisa felt like she was basking in the shining spotlight, attracting more envious eyes.Lisa had a problem with this. Terry was going to break up with her eventually! The more people envied her, the more they would mock her later.Lisa's face turned miserable, feeling like she was in a real pickle.***The meeting ended awkwardly with many people either envious or embarrassed. Once the meeting was over, Jessica and Gavin hastily left the meeting room. Those who had mocked Lisa
Terry was still in a relationship with Lisa. Therefore rumors of Lisa's involvement with another man would only be embarrassing for him.Terry did not seem to realize the consequence of his action. His relationship announcement would only get her into more trouble. She would have to find another job by the time they broke up.Lisa chuckled at her train of thought. Revenge had always been Terry's goal. The more miserable she was, the happier he would be."Fine, I get it. I don't think anyone will get the wrong idea about me liking Jessica's boyfriend anymore," Lisa said.Terry knitted his brows slightly. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable with the way she spoke. Her tone felt like an invisible barrier and a widening distance between them."You don't like what I'm doing?" Terry asked, narrowing his eyes slightly."No, not really. You're my boyfriend. It's the right thing to do." Lisa smiled. "Besides, what you did today made Jessica and Gavin look bad in front of everyone. It m
Serenity had a vague answer in her mind, but her guess was so crazy and seemingly unbelievable.As she was pondering over it, her phone rang. Serenity looked at the caller. It was Clara's number, so she answered it."Serenity! Yanny will be out of the hospital tomorrow. Can you come to work the day after tomorrow? I'd like to clean up the restaurant the day after tomorrow and reopen the next day," Clara informed."Alright, sure," Serenity responded. Speaking of which, it was rare for her to have such a long break ever since she had gotten out of prison."Great," Clara responded. "By the way, Yanny wants to speak to you. Try and say something to him."Serenity was stunned for a moment. She then spoke into the phone, "Yanny? Hi! It’s Aunt Serene. Can you hear me?""I'll be seeing you again the day after tomorrow. I'll tell you lots of stories once you can understand and speak, okay?"Serenity knew Yanny probably would not understand a word she was saying. Even so, she was full of
