“It’s my treat. Consider this as a reward since you’re dog-tired after your business trip.”She laughed cheekily and deliberately emphasized the word ‘dog-tired’. Julian wanted to grab her and punish her, but he was really hungry, tired, and sleepy. He had stayed up all night before catching the flight, and he spent his flight finishing up a report. He did not manage to catch a wink at all. He really could not stay up anymore after taking a shower and unwinding. Nora did not expect that Julian would fall asleep on her couch before the takeout arrived. She found that he was already asleep after she returned from answering a call in her bedroom. She could tell that he was really exhausted. She had seen her brother, Ryan, stay up late when he was working hard on his projects, and he would also fall asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow when he came home, especially when he had just taken over Pierce Group, which was a mess at the time. Nora was conflicted now that he had
She slept late because she had slept too much during the day. After nestling in bed and watching a movie, she saw that it was already 12.30 AM and hurriedly lay down to sleep. Her cell phone rang, and she clicked on it to see a picture accompanied by a few words. She almost jumped out of bed in anger. No longer sleepy, she sat up on the bed with her cell phone in her hand. She was half-kneeling on her bed, and she almost stood up in anger and shock. She tapped on her cell phone before she scrutinized the photo and message carefully to make sure that she had not read it wrongly.He was lying on her bed shirtless as he smiled provocatively at the camera. He even said shameless words, saying that the style of her lingerie was too conservative, and that he would take her to buy the styles that he liked instead!Nora was angry and embarrassed, and her face flushed red. She had never expected him to be so shameless. She was kind enough to take him in, but he had actually done such a
Mrs. Maton was immediately curious after she heard him say that she was a good girl, so she asked, “Whose daughter is it? Do you have any plans to settle down and get married?”Julian had a headache whenever he heard the word ‘married’. Mrs. Maton had been anxiously urging him to get married ever since his good friend, Ryan, got married a few years ago. After a period of time, she realized that he was completely unmoved and eventually gave up on the thought in frustration. Unexpectedly, she had started urging him to get married again lately. According to reliable sources, it was because many of Mrs. Maton’s friends had been promoted to mothers-in-law or grandmothers this year, which made Mrs. Maton feel anxious again. Sometimes, when he put himself in Mrs. Maton’s shoes to think of things from her perspective, he felt that it was reasonable for her to feel anxious. Her peers were grandmothers who were enjoying time with their grandchildren, but her son had neither a romantic interes
If he was not interested in her, would he agree to teach her how to be in a relationship, as if he had nothing better to do?He was not that noble. He would rather die than be in a relationship with a woman he was not interested in. Although he was a womanizer, he could not be with just any woman. In fact, he was very picky, and he did not fancy all women. He was willing to indulge in whatever she had said and follow her pace because he was slightly interested in her. However, he was simply interested in her, just like how he had been temporarily interested in those women that he used to date. He did not have the thought of holding onto her, or for them to grow old together. Nora could not help but feel even angrier when she heard him saying that ‘he could not help it and could only react that way’. Just when she was about to tell him that it would be better for them to end the relationship, Julian suddenly spoke up again. “I’m sorry for breaking my promise to you. I promised to
Julian was terribly upset, and the young girl’s words where she asked him to dress up to look younger kept popping up in his mind all morning.After Julian concentrated on his work for a while, Benjamin knocked on the door again and came in. Julian frowned impatiently and asked, “What is it?”Benjamin observed his expression with a smile as he handed a fashion magazine over to Julian. “Didn’t you ask me about how you can dress to look younger? This is the latest issue of the fashion magazine, ‘Stylez’. There are photos of some popular young men's style and fashion inside. Perhaps you can refer to the magazine on how you can dress up to look younger.”Julian frowned deeply and stared at Benjamin before he finally took the magazine. Benjamin quickly turned around and left in relief. After returning to his office, Benjamin thought about his boss’s various strange behaviors throughout the morning. He could not hold back his curiosity and went to another office on the top floor. Ther
“The Finance Department? An internship at such an important department?”“That’s right. The person is being hired out of nowhere! Do you think that this is the boss’s young girlfriend?”Benjamin was looking forward to it, but Nathan dealt him a blow and said, “You don’t even know if the person who’s coming is a male or female. What if it’s a male?”Benjamin was speechless.Nathan had always been calm and collected, so he reprimanded his brother, “Stop gossiping. You’ll know when it’s time for you to know.”Benjamin exited his brother’s office silently after being reprimanded and went back to work. Julian studied the fashion magazine that Benjamin had given him and thought that he looked similar to the so-called fashionable young men. He went to the lounge and looked in the bathroom mirror for a long time before coming to a conclusion—he was indeed old.He had very good looks and physique, and when it came to his performance in bed, regardless of his size, endurance, or skills,
“Are you sure that he is just fooling around with his young girlfriend? Why do I feel like he’s serious?”Nathan and Benjamin had completely different personalities. Nathan simply remained silent in the face of Benjamin’s gossip and curiosity. After all, who would know whether Julian was just fooling around or serious until they got to the end? He could be fooling around now and turn out to be sincere in the end. Perhaps they could be in a serious relationship now but end up going their separate ways. After all, who could explain love clearly in just a few words?Julian drove Nathan’s car to Nora’s school. Nathan’s car was a black Volkswagen which cost about 25,000, and it was low-key and professional, which was very much like Nathan. In fact, Nathan could buy a far better car with the salary he was paying them. Benjamin was much more flamboyant in comparison, which was also the reason Julian chose Nathan’s car.The young girl had finally taken the initiative to ask him out, so he
He stood one step away from her as he looked at her with a handsome smile. “Why are you running so far away? I told you that I would follow your pace. I won’t kiss you if you don’t like me doing that.”Nora stood there with her hands behind her back. She lowered her head, kicked the gravel at her feet, and whispered, “It’s not that I don’t like you kissing me; I don’t want you to kiss me like that. I just, I just…"Nora tried hard to describe the way he kissed her. It was the moist, hot, and lingering kind of kiss where he sucked on her lips and made her whole body feel weak, but she was too embarrassed to say it. Therefore, she could only hesitate and stammer like that.Julian said slowly, “Why don’t you show me how you want me to kiss you, then?”He had a sincere attitude and a gentle look in his eyes, as if he really wanted to know how she wanted to be kissed so he could kiss her that way in the future. Nora walked forward involuntarily and grabbed his sleeves with her hands.
