Right now, his thoughts were centered on Evelyn.He knew she was coming for an interview today, but he didn't expect to run into her like this.When he saw her enter the elevator with red eyes and a dazed expression, it felt like someone had taken a hammer to his heart.He was well aware of the unusual emotion he was experiencing. It was the kind of feeling that arose when someone held special significance to you.Taking a deep drag from his cigarette, Rowan's demeanor seemed even colder and mysterious amidst the swirling smoke.To be honest, Rowan had never imagined that his future would be linked to any woman.His romantic history, while not entirely pristine, wasn't chaotic either.Especially after the events of the past few years, he had come to appreciate the beauty of solitude.He had never thought about having any other thoughts about Evelyn, but it seemed that he had developed impure thoughts already, perhaps from that moment when he had wanted to kiss her.He didn't f
Evelyn nodded silently. When she heard Helena describe the events just now, she had truly lost her composure due to anger.Then, Rowan continued in his cold voice, "Do you still want to go and kill someone?"Evelyn felt embarrassed and remained silent.She glanced awkwardly at him and then turned her gaze to the outside of the car window.His words were somewhat excessive. He seemed to be making a joke at her expense using what she had said in a fit of anger. However, she should be grateful to him for stopping her. Otherwise, she really didn't know what kind of disaster she would have caused.Then, he said bluntly, "You owe me for my suit and shirt. Now, you can get out of the car."Evelyn was speechless once more.He had just stopped her and sheltered her, and now he was ruthlessly telling her to leave, asking her to compensate for his expensive suit and shirt.His suit and shirt looked quite expensive; how could she afford to pay for them?However, she also thought that ev
After hearing Barry's explanation, Rowan nodded in apparent understanding."Tigers might be fierce, but they wouldn't harm or eat their own offspring. Tell me, Mr. Stewart... There are some among us humans—well, parents, to be exact—who repeatedly push their children into miserable and helpless situations. Are such people worse than animals?"Rowan's words indirectly imply that Barry was less than an animal.Barry couldn't pretend not to understand, and his expression darkened immediately.Barry was in a predicament, but Rowan's repeated sarcasm and taunting got on his nerves. Moreover, Rowan was younger than he was! But wanting to get angry and actually having the courage and presence to do so were two different things.In the company of a man like Rowan, most men would pale in comparison. He possessed a handsome and captivating appearance, an elegant and distinguished demeanor, as well as experience and depth. His every move exuded the poise of a mature man. More important
Barry thought that he would finally be able to talk to Rowan about how he would help him after he had agreed to his request. Unexpectedly, Rowan said again, “What I just said is just a warning.”Barry was dumbfounded. Rowan felt extremely pleased when he looked at Barry’s helpless expression where he could only hold back his anger. However, this was not all. This was just the start, and there was still more to come. He picked up the teapot on the side and took the initiative to pour another cup of tea for Barry. He suddenly lowered his tone again and said, “Mr. Stewart, you must know of my identity. I’m my father’s illegitimate son, and my father is currently in a loving relationship with Madam Ophelia. It is destined that I will never be able to enjoy the warmth of a family with both my parents in my life.”Barry could not understand what Rowan was trying to get at, and he could only look at Barry in confusion. Rowan sneered and continued, “So, when looking for my other half, I
Rowan finally felt the suffocating depressing feeling dissipating as he thought of this. He drove back to the company directly and focused on his work.As soon as he arrived at the company, he received a report on today’s interview from the Human Resources Department. Evelyn’s name was on the list for the second interview in three days.Rowan chuckled lightly. These personnel were all talented people. He had simply recommended her for an interview, and they seemed to have understood something.In fact, part of the reason he had recommended her was due to some personal emotional factors, but the most important thing was because he valued her talent, so he wanted to give her a chance. There was nothing he could do if she did not seize the opportunity herself. However, he did not want her to be criticized because of her relationship with him if she came in to work, so he responded to the report by the Human Resources Department with an email that emphasized: ‘Designers should be chos
There was no pretense at all, and she was straightforward because she knew that what Evelyn needed the most at the moment was money. Money could help Evelyn more than any other gifts at this time. Evelyn accepted the envelope. True friends were like this. They did not need to work hard to please each other, but sometimes, the most direct form of love was the most precious. She took the beer home, tidied up the house briefly, took a shower, and changed into a fresh set of home clothes. She did not wear a bra because she was ready for bed and would not be going out anymore.She then sat on the sofa and started drinking. She had already had dinner, and she could not eat anymore, so she did not prepare any appetizers. She simply drank directly from the beer bottle. Besides, appetizers were only prepared for veteran drinkers; a novice such as herself would not think that the beer tasted good even if it was paired with sumptuous appetizers. Evelyn drank gallantly, and she was basicall
Evelyn struggled in confusion as she said, “I want to drink water.”All her protests were cut off by the intense kiss in the next second. Evelyn’s entire consciousness was filled with chaos, and her breath was filled with the cool breath that was unique to mature men. Even though she could barely open her eyes to see the person in front of her clearly, her consciousness was instantly submerged in his hot breath and lingering kiss.Before this, Evelyn had no experience in such intimacy aside from that night, so she was no match for him. Her whole body went limp when he kissed her. Evelyn had been drugged that night, so the extremely strong drug in her body had made her take the initiative to hug Rowan’s neck and kiss his lips, but she was passive and helpless now, and everything was under Rowan’s control.Rowan’s lips lingered on hers before he started kissing her neck. One of his hands was already under her shirt as he touched and enjoyed the woman’s body to the fullest. Rowan w
How could he have helped her to relieve the effects of such a potent drug if his skills were not good?He asked her another question that had always been weighing on his mind. “Why didn’t you hand over the evidence that you have to clear your name?”“You don’t understand…” She did not seem to reject this question very much. She turned to face him again and even opened her eyes in a drunken state for a while, then she laughed as she looked at him and said, “We have to wait to take out the most important evidence at the most important occasion in order to deal a fatal blow to them.”Evelyn burped as she spoke of her plan intermittently. Rowan was a little surprised at first before he chuckled silently. He had been angry at her for not presenting the evidence in the first place, but he was satisfied with her explanation now. It was true. Her reputation had been completely ruined that night, so the evidence might not have any effect even if she had taken it out.However, if Evelyn
