However, that threat seemed to be effective against Lisa. Her hands, which had been holding onto the vest tightly, relaxed slightly, but her expression remained unwilling. "Terry, you... you're so mean. You won't even let me keep a little vest?" She spoke with difficulty, her drunken eyes looking pitiful."Didn't you say I was better looking? Why do you still need another man's vest?" he rebuked, forgetting that he was arguing with a drunk person. "They... can dance, unlike you," she grumbled. Terry was exasperated. He said, "How do you know I can't?""Show me, then. I want to see... a strip dance..." she said.He stared at her, then said, "If I dance for you, do you promise you won't think about other men anymore?" "Yes, I promise!" She nodded her little head vigorously. "Okay, but if you go back on your word..." Terry paused briefly before continuing, "Well, it's not like I'd give you a chance to go back on your word anyway." He then started to unbutton his shirt and
"Yes, sir! I'm sorry, sir!" The maid quickly put the bowl of soup down and left the living room.Lisa and Terry were alone once again in the large living room. "Lisa, get up!" Terry commanded."No!" Despite being intoxicated, she said that loud and clear."Quit fooling around. Be a good girl and drink the soup," he coaxed in a gentle tone. If his subordinates were to see this, they would be shocked.He was never one to easily form bonds, so he had never coaxed anyone like this. She was the only exception."Terry, I don't know what to do. I think I'm falling *hic* harder and harder for you..." she mumbled.He knew she was drunk so he shouldn’t take her words seriously, but he still felt like his heart had been hit by something heavy. "If you really like me, why do you still go to those shows and snatch another man's clothes?" "I wanted to... help Serenity... de-stress... Hehe... Also, they're hot... But..." she hiccuped again, then put her hands around his face, "I just like t
However, she felt some regret as she couldn't remember much from last night because she was drunk.Suddenly, she remembered something and shouted, "Where's Serenity? I was with Serenity yesterday!"Terry became upset with her again. "Oh, were you with Serenity yesterday? I thought you were working on a project?"Lisa shrunk back guiltily. "I was just trying to make Serenity feel better. Besides, I really was working on a project during the day. I only went to the bar with Serenity in the evening!""Then what about the vest? I've never seen you fight for my vest," he said angrily, but his hands remained gentle."I... I grabbed it for Serenity!" Lisa quickly used Serenity as a shield.It wasn't a complete lie. She did offer to give it to Serenity."Wait, what happened to the vest?" She realized with a jolt that the vest was gone."I threw it away," Terry replied.Lisa blinked a few times, then wailed, "Why?! Why did you throw it away? I could have sold it online for a few thousa
"Then... they knew that we... Oh my god!" Lisa cried. Her parents were very conservative. If they found out that she slept with someone, would they punish her when she got home?"Are you that ashamed to be with me?" Terry got upset. She was treating him as if he was an embarrassment."No, not at all! Being with you is my greatest honor!" Lisa quickly said, "It's just that my parents are kinda conservative. I don't know if they're okay with this." It seemed like every time Terry was mad at Lisa, she would always say something that amused him. "All I told them was that you had a little wine and would be sleeping over in my guest room." Phew!Lisa breathed a sigh of relief."Get dressed. We'll go down for breakfast. Some hangover soup will make you feel better," he said. She never got the chance to drink the bowl of soup he asked the maid to make last night. "Okay!" said Lisa.Terry got out of bed and handed Lisa a new set of clothes. He then retrieved his own clothes and began
"I'm fine. Terry took me back to his mansion to spend the night," Lisa was too embarrassed to tell Serenity that she pounced on Terry once again.During breakfast, Terry told her with a serious tone, "You keep doing that kind of thing to me. If you don't take responsibility, I'm gonna kill you." Lisa was speechless. Wasn't it always the woman who was disadvantaged in that kind of situation? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for her to say that to Terry?"Will you take responsibility?" he asked, staring right at her. "Ugh... I will," she answered with a nod under his intense stare.Recalling what happened that morning, Lisa was speechless, but it was also kinda sweet. Being compelled to take responsibility by Terry didn't feel that bad!After chatting with Serenity briefly, Lisa put away her phone and turned on her work computer, ready to start working.On the other side, Serenity also set aside her phone. Staring at the files on her table, she fell into deep thought.Her mind w
"It's a bit messy," Peter smiled awkwardly."Starting a business is never easy. I actually envy you," Serenity admitted. She had once dreamed of starting her own business too. She wanted to open her own law firm after she had accumulated enough experience.But now... she's only a paralegal.The world truly was unpredictable."Can you take a look at this document? I wrote down the suspicious points you raised. If there's no mistake, please sign it," Serenity handed a document to Peter.She had called Peter earlier to explain the purpose of her visit.Peter went over the document and signed it.Serenity then signed her name on the document too. When she looked up, she noticed Peter staring at her."What's the matter? Is something wrong?" she asked."You… must have been through a lot... in..." He did not say the word "prison" out loud, but Serenity understood what he meant. "That's all in the past now," she said with a serene smile.She looked as if she had made peace with the
A young child like Yanny loved playing with bubbles, especially since the toy was shaped like a gun.Yanny soon filled the entire house with bubbles.When Peter saw the bubbles all around the house, he felt bad. "Maybe I should take Yanny outside to play with the toy gun. I'll bring him back a bit later," he said. "Sounds good. Thank you, Peter," Clara said with a smile. "No worries. I love spending time with Yanny," Peter said.Yanny happily went outside with Peter to play with bubbles.After they left, Clara asked Serenity, "Why did you two come together?""I was with him for work. He said he wanted to visit you because he bought a present for Yanny, so I came here with him," said Serenity. She looked at the suitcases and asked, "When are you leaving for Georgia?" "In three days," answered Clara. "I already contacted a moving company to transfer our furniture over. Yanny, my mother and I will take the high-speed rail there." "What time is the train? I'll come see you off
When Wilson thought of Clara, his chest felt stuffy again."It's not suitable!" He rejected her suggestion without even considering it. "A wedding is a happy occasion. This diamond is shaped like a teardrop. It's a bad omen." There's not much Sandra could say to that. She could only say, "In that case... why don't we take a look at the other wedding rings? What kind of wedding ring do you like, Wilson?""That can wait. I'll choose a ring with you after we announce the wedding," said Wilson.Sandra was disappointed, but she managed to force a smile and replied, "Sure, we can wait until the wedding is announced."Sandra chose another set of diamond earrings before leaving the jewelry store with Wilson. "The driver will take you home later," Wilson said. "What about you?" Sandra was surprised. "I have some business to take care of. I'll call you when I'm done," Wilson replied.Sandra could only nod, but before she got into the car, she asked uneasily, "Wilson, are we really g
