In the realm of love, both parties were equal. No one towered over the other, and there was no such thing as being inferior. Evelyn found her eyes getting a bit misty at his words. He hadn't uttered any sweet nothings this time. It was just a few simple sentences, yet they were enough to move her."But isn't picking me up and dropping me off for work a waste of time? You have to wake up early and come to my place..." Evelyn said, expressing her concern for his efforts. His residence was originally close to the company, but now he deliberately took a detour to pick her up before heading to the office together.Seizing the opportunity, Rowan said, "So, if you move in with me, that would make our commutes more convenient."This time, Evelyn was taken aback. She bit her lip and stared at him. What was he thinking? They had just established their romantic relationship last night, and he was already inviting her to move into his place today.Rowan looked at her surprised expressi
Julian, who had prepared breakfast early and entered the bedroom, approached Nora with a smile and asked, "Did something good happen? You're smiling so much."Nora happily shared her excitement with Julian. "I think Rowan might have some good news soon! Last night, he spent the night with Evelyn.""Is there any evidence?" Julian found it hard to believe."Just now, I called Ms. Stewart. She said they were almost arriving at the company, so they were definitely together. Isn't it likely that they spent the night together last night?" Nora analyzed the situation for Julian. Julian sighed. "Can't it be that Rowan just went to pick her up for work early in the morning?"Julian knew what had happened last night. In that situation, Evelyn couldn't have been with Rowan in that way, especially since Evelyn lived with her mother. Helena would never allow her daughter to spend the night with Rowan.Moreover, last night, before going to sleep, Rowan had called him and briefed him on some t
Otherwise, how could Evelyn have encountered a man like Rowan, and moreover, be so cherished by him?Evelyn smiled and comforted Amy. "Amy, you'll definitely meet a man who loves you deeply in the future."Amy suppressed her own resentful emotions, returning to her usual tough workplace demeanor. She sighed and said casually, "Hopefully, but if I can't find one, it doesn't matter. I can live on my own."As the two walked toward the elevator, it arrived just in time. They stepped in, and not far behind them, Rowan quickened his pace to join them in the elevator.So, what used to be a harmonious pair became a trio again. Later, a few more people entered the elevator, and the three of them retreated to the innermost corner.During the morning rush to work, the elevator was still quite crowded. Evelyn initially wanted to maintain some distance from Rowan. However, due to the crowd, Rowan simply lifted his hand and pulled Evelyn into his embrace as he was afraid that she might get
Amy's tone was icy and mocking. Lara echoed Amy's words. "Exactly. I’m sure her own designs are unpresentable."Evelyn refrained from expressing any opinions on their discussion. Everything that happened was Natalie's own doing.Who could Natalie blame but herself?During lunch, Lara came over to invite Evelyn to eat together as usual. Amy intervened and pulled Lara away, saying, "The big boss already booked her for lunch this morning. I guess you'll be eating alone from now on.""What?"Lara felt depressed as Amy dragged her away. Evelyn smiled, shut down her computer, and went to look for Rowan.When Evelyn arrived at Rowan's office, he was still busy. Upon seeing her, he temporarily stopped working.He walked over to her and held her as he apologized. "I originally planned to take you out for lunch, but I have some unfinished work, so I ordered takeout."Evelyn raised her eyebrows and smiled at him. "It's okay. Anything will do."She came to have lunch with him not for
Rowan then dropped the topic, and they both quietly ate their food.However, Evelyn found this meal hard to digest. As she ate, thoughts of what he said about the sensation in bed kept returning, making her uneasy.Eventually, Evelyn diverted her attention with a new topic. "Was Natalie's scandal your doing?"Without the need for confirmation, she was already quite certain it was him."Yeah." Rowan admitted straightforwardly. "Giving a quick end to someone like her would be letting her off too lightly. I prefer to torment her slowly. Ruining her reputation is the first step. I'll make everyone despise her and then leave her with nothing."Taking Natalie's life directly in a society governed by the rule of law was, of course, not allowed. But Rowan had ways to make her life worse than death. Exposing Natalie's plagiarism was just the beginning. He intended to make her unwelcome in the entire design industry. People would shun her due to her tarnished reputation, and no one would
No matter how bad he was in the eyes of outsiders or how harsh he was toward others, what did it have to do with her? She did not care at all because he doted on her and loved her wholeheartedly. That was enough. It was enough for her to fall in love with him. She would not regret it, let alone back down even if she stayed like this for the rest of her life. Rowan was very satisfied with her answer. “Let’s continue eating.”In fact, they were almost done eating. Evelyn really could not eat any more. She only took a few bites before putting down her bowl and spoon.Rowan had also finished eating, but only a few minutes had passed. He had asked Oliver to let Barry wait for half an hour, so what should he do with the remaining time?This was the first time Evelyn was spending time alone with Rowan as his girlfriend. He had something to do when they were eating just now, so she did not feel any discomfort. Evelyn felt awkward for no reason now that the meal was over. Were they goi
Rowan put his hands on the chair handles by her side, leaned forward, and stared at her as he said with sincerity, “I think it’s very appropriate for you to sit here.”Evelyn was puzzled. He smiled and said, “Even though I lead the company, you’re the one leading me, so you’re actually leading the whole company. There’s nothing wrong with you sitting here.”Evelyn felt very moved by Rowan’s words and was filled with his love.She had never thought that he would declare her unique and supreme status in his heart to her and Barry in this manner. Although they had only been officially together for half a day, every word he said and everything he did made Evelyn’s feelings for him increase and deepen quickly. Perhaps the intensity of their new relationship might be equal to that of other couples who had been in love for two to three years. Evelyn never understood the lightning-fast relationship between Jason and Miya in the past. Although it seemed beautiful, Evelyn had never though
Rowan glanced coldly at Barry’s embarrassed expression and finally announced ruthlessly, as if he was Satan from hell, “To tell you the truth, I will never let Natalie off no matter how much you beg. This is the best punishment for her and the best comfort for the grievances Evelyn had suffered as well!”Evelyn, who had been silent next to him, felt a lump in her throat and was very emotional. Evelyn was about to let go of the resentment she felt toward Barry and Natalie after two years had passed, but Rowan still thought about fighting for her in order to soothe her scarred heart in this manner. How could she not love such a man with all her heart? “Evelyn… Please help your sister, okay? You can’t let her future be ruined like this…”When Barry saw that Rowan had no intention of showing mercy to Natalie, he could only plead with Evelyn, who had remained silent the whole time while seated.Barry always believed that Evelyn had a gentle personality and was easy to talk to. She
