“As for why I want to be in a relationship, it’s because I’ve never been in love before and I want to learn about the experience of love from you.”Nora lied when she said this last sentence, so she lowered her eyes again out of guilt.She could not be honest and tell him that she simply wanted to fool around with him. Otherwise, she would definitely be thrown out of the door immediately. After she was done speaking, Julian stared at her thoughtfully for a while, then spoke up lazily, “I like to start from the last step first when I teach.”Nora raised her eyes curiously and asked him, “What is the last step?”Julian smiled and replied to her with two words. “Sex.”Nora’s face instantly turned red. As Julian spoke, he bent down and came closer to her. Nora could feel his hot breath on her ear. Nora took a step back in fright.“I don’t want to learn anymore.”She then turned around to flee. What kind of joke was this? She just wanted to be in a simple relationship with hi
Compared to how Silvia was slowly getting more comfortable at work, Christina was in a state of distress. She even cried after getting scolded by Miss Cullen because of a problem with the letter of credit. Silvia could not bear it, so she stepped forward to guide her and Christina was then able to solve the problem successfully.Silvia would also often teach Christina from time to time, and Christina also felt very grateful to her. That day, she went to the workshop as usual and continued to study there. As soon as she entered the workshop, she noticed that everyone was looking at her with strange expressions on their faces. A few of the older ladies on the assembly line who temporarily had some free time on hand were even whispering to each other.Silvia was a little puzzled, but did not take it to heart. She stood on the assembly line and checked the quality of the garment parts on the conveyor belt. It was an older woman in the cutting team, whom Silvia usually addressed a
She did not know who would be so vicious to slander her in this manner.Yes, she was divorced, and the reason for her divorce was that her husband had an affair with another woman. She was not kicked out because she could not give birth to a son, nor did she leave because she was abandoned. If Ryan gave her property, it would be enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life but she did not care for that at all.The reason why Silvia wanted nothing from the beginning was because she wanted to live her own life. She wanted to gain a place in this society based on her own ability instead of depending on a certain man. She did not want to be dubbed with the title of Mrs. Pierce no matter where she went. But she ended up becoming a miserable wife because of people with malicious intentions. Silvia was so angry that she could not speak at all. Mrs. Dolton hurriedly helped her to sit down on a bench and comforted her. “Don’t be angry, this kind of thing is like this. I
When she returned to the office, Christina was answering a call from a client, and she was communicating purely in Chinese Mandarin.Silvia silently went back to her seat. She heard Christina making a mistake during the phone call. There was a material whose color would obviously fade after washing, but Christina had told the client that it would not fade, so the client intended to use that material for samples.In the past, Silvia would notify Christina as soon as she hung up the phone, and ask her to contact the client to change it.But this time, Silvia suddenly backed out. She did not know if Christina, whom she had often helped out, was the mastermind behind the scenes. When Silvia looked at Christina with such complicated thoughts in mind, Christina also turned to look at her. Their eyes met in mid-air and Christina quickly dodged Silvia’s gaze.Silvia instantly understood everything. Why would Christina be so evasive if she did not have a guilty conscience? Silvia really
Silvia had also analyzed the situation briefly. Christina could not have known that she was divorced, and the rumors of her husband being photographed with a third party obviously referred to the incident where Ryan and Mariah were photographed together some time ago.Moreover, all these things happened in Detroit. Christina was working in such a small factory, so how could she have heard of these things?Therefore, Silvia could not rule out the fact that someone had deliberately told Christina these things, and that person could only be Mariah and no one else. After Silvia brought up Mariah’s name, Christina quickly averted her gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m going to continue working, so please don’t disturb me.”She then turned around and got busy in front of her computer.After looking at Christina’s reaction, Silvia instantly knew that Christina was really connected to Mariah. Otherwise, she would not be so evasive. Silvia looked at Christina who was pre
She could only comfort herself and take this as the most realistic lesson society had taught her since she entered the workforce.The only thing she could do in the future was to ignore the rumors and continue working.…After Christina rushed out of the office, she found a quiet place and took out her cell phone to make a call. She confided to the person on the other end of the line angrily, “Mariah, what should I do if she’s not mad at all? On the contrary, I’m extremely furious with her!”Mariah, who was on the other end of the line, laughed softly. “Christina, you’re too naive. How can she not be angry if people are talking about her like that and saying that she was abandoned and kicked out of the family?”Christina muttered in dissatisfaction on the other end. “But she didn’t look angry at all.”“That’s simply because she has good endurance and control over her emotions. In fact, you might not know how upset she actually is.”Although Mariah was saying this, she really d
“Will you be coming to see Autumn during the weekend or should I send her to you?” Ryan asked over the phone.Silvia had a headache at the thought of meeting him. It was a case where if one hated something, one would hate everything connected to it. She was devastated because of Ryan, so how could she be willing to see him?Besides, she was in an incredibly low mood, and she was afraid that she would not be in the right headspace to accompany Autumn when she saw her. As a result, she decided not to meet Autumn for the time being this week in order not to affect Autumn with her bad mood. Besides, Silvia had just seen her last week, and they had video calls every day.She remembered that when she first decided to get a divorce and was reluctant to part with her daughter, Rosaline had comforted her, saying that she simply had to endure it and it would all get better over time. She was heartbroken because she had never left her daughter behind before, but after doing so, she got use
Silvia wondered why it was so easy to talk to him this time. But she did not put much thought into him now, so she did not think much about it.She still worked overtime on Friday night and only left the office around seven o’clock after she finished the work at hand.There were still workers working overtime in the workshop at this time and the entire factory was brightly lit. Silvia walked out of the factory gate. When she looked up, she saw Ryan’s conspicuous car parked there. Her first reaction was to turn around and pretend to ignore him, but he had already seen her. He got off the car and walked over. Silvia stood there and stared at him, not knowing what to say. Who would’ve known that the only reason he did not pester her that day was just so she would let her guard for a few days? This person was too sinister.He walked over to her, looked at her with his dark eyes, and calmly explained the reason for his presence here. “I have something I want to ask for your help wi
