At that moment, Damon’s office doors were opened, and his smile instantly faded. When he raised his head to see who it was, he realized that it was Xavier.“What are you doing here?” Damon immediately pulled a straight face.Xavier was smiling away as he walked toward Damon. “Come on, can you not always look at me with that cold face of yours all the time, Damon? I know that you’re clearly in a splendid mood because of your successful love life, so why are you always pretending as if you’re no
According to the timetable Lucia had arranged for her, she still had to meet Eric Burnham, the person running the Burnham Group. Eric was Elias’ elder brother, and Jeanette had met him a few times. She thought of him as an extremely easy-going businessman, which was why she thought he would be the easiest to handle out of all the shareholders.They had fixed an appointment to meet up at the Burnhams’ residence. Eric had been waiting for a long time when Jeanette was brought to the living room
The discussion went on swimmingly, with Eric being an easy-going person and would be thoughtful with whatever Jeanette came up with. He even said that he would do his best to cooperate with some of the things she mentioned.After they were done, Eric had Elias walk Jeanette out.The two of them walked side by side from the living room to the main entrance when Elias suddenly suggested, “Do you have any plans later? If not, how about I buy you a meal?”“I…” Jeanette hesitated for a moment. A
“Mimi really loves you. Make sure you treat her well.”There was a slightly wry smile on Elias’s face before he got back into his car and drove off.Jeanette heaved a long sigh before she turned around and returned home. However, shortly after she began walking, she saw Damon standing by the entrance with Felix next to him, silently looking at her.Obviously, Damon had seen everything, all the way from her returning in Elias’ car and happily chatting away with him.Hence, Jeanette hurried
Before Jeanette could even react to the situation, Damon pressed onto her head and sealed her lips.At that very moment, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the study.“Daddy, do you have my smartwatch with… you.”Jeanette was so shocked that she almost instantly stood up from Damon’s lap. Meanwhile, Felix was such an understanding little boy that he immediately covered his eyes and darted out. As he ran, he even shouted, “I didn’t see anything!” He was so loud that almost all the se
‘I’ve never noticed this man in the past, so I really didn’t expect him to be so against me. He’s definitely got some kind of trump card up his sleeve, or there’s no way he would dare to object so openly.’“Please watch your words, Mr. Hall!” Lucia came out to refute him out of anger.“Which ditch did you come out of now, little girl? Since when has someone flipping through PowerPoint slides gained the right to speak during the shareholders’ meeting?”“I…”Jeanette hurriedly pulled Lucia bac
“But, how did you do it? I’ve been contacting him multiple times previously, but I didn’t even get to meet him. What kind of benefits have you offered him in return?”“The Wades have a big business, so he might not be interested in what I have to offer.”“So… You threatened him into it then? Did you ask the mafia to force him?”Damon chuckled as he said, “His daughter’s fallen for me.”“What? You sold yourself?”Damon rubbed his temples as he instantly felt speechless. ‘What the heck does
As she massaged her shoulder, she slowly walked up the stairs. Because Jeanette was so exhausted, she did not even want to walk up the stairs. ‘I should ask Damon to have an elevator installed here.’At that moment, she even felt as if she could fall asleep on the stair’s railing. Before she even came around to her senses, she was suddenly carried in someone’s arms. Jeanette immediately let out a shriek before she saw Damon’s jet-black eyes through the light coming from the moon.“What a
