Now, the situation had reached a conclusion. “Let’s go, Olivia.” Mr. Gardner rose to his feet, looking very upset.Mrs. Gardner naturally stood up as well.Olivia, however, did not move. She kept her eyes on Damon, remained quiet for a very long time, and then asked, “So, it’s over between us now? Just like that?”“You’re an intelligent and talented woman, Miss Gardner. We’ve always worked very well together as business associates, is that not correct?”“Working together… Yes. It was onl
Damon wrapped his arm around Jeanette’s waist. The smile on his face grew even more pronounced than ever. “It’s completely normal for me to touch my own wife.”“We’re in the office!”She tried her best to push him away. In her struggle, she accidentally bumped into the coffee cup next to her.The scalding coffee splashed onto Damon’s arm. He gasped and released her.He may be wearing a dark-colored suit today, but the coffee stain on it was still particularly eye-catching.Damon rolled up h
She rubbed her starving belly, got up, and got ready to have her lunch alone.Before she could leave the administrative office, Damon stopped her in her tracks.“I told you to come in and apply medicine for me. Were you even listening to me?” Damon asked in a quiet voice, leaning against the doorway.“Mr. Godfrey, even if you’re too lazy to even move your noble hands, shouldn’t you let me have my lunch first?”“Alright, lunchtime.”Damon dragged her into the office, giving her no room for a
“I’m not the most important person in your life. Why must you come all the way here for me?” Mimi snapped icily.She picked up a slipper by the door and threw it at him in an attempt to chase him away.Elias dodged the slipper. Realizing that she was about to close the door, he ignored the risk of getting his hand wedged in the doorframe and quickly grabbed the edge of the door.“What are you trying to do?”“My stuff is inside with you. Give them back, and I’ll leave immediately.”Mimi was
“Miss Gardner, to what do I owe the pleasure?” Elias was shocked. He had never really spoken to the Gardner heiress.“It’s inconvenient to talk here. Would you be interested in having a cup of coffee with me?”“A pretty girl has asked me to join her for coffee. How could I say no?” Elias flashed his signature frivolous grin.At the cafe, he sat down and went straight to the point. “So, Miss Gardner, why have you come to me?”“I have a present for you.”Olivia pulled a document file out of
Elias took one step forward and stared coldly into her eyes.“I’m warning you, Olivia Gardner, if you do anything to destroy her life, I’ll be the first to come after you.”Olivia instantly felt a shiver down her spine. Elias was usually a gentle, carefree trust-fund baby, so she initially thought that he would be easily manipulated.To her surprise, she ended up running into a stumbling block.“I know what you’re thinking, Dr. Burnham. However, as they say, a man’s wealth is ruined by spark
Luckily, the meeting venue wasn’t too far from her office. She arrived in ten minutes.Jeanette rushed into the office building. She didn’t know which floor they were on, so she had to search every floor.She called Parker frantically in between the entire process, but no one answered.Finally, she arrived on the fifteenth floor, all the way from the first floor. Jeanette was huffing and puffing from exhaustion at this point. She was tired.She placed her hand on the fifteenth-floor elevator
“Mr. Jameson, it was my carelessness. I’m really sorry.” She hurriedly gave the man another bow.And so, the minor snag ended.After Parker took Mr. Jameson to the hospital, Damon turned around and asked, “Why’d you come here all of a sudden?”“I…” Jeanette smacked her forehead. That bump had completely distracted her, and she had nearly forgotten her important mission!“Damon, you need to go after Mr. Jameson.
