”Damon…” Jeanette’s nose was stuffed as she called out his name, plus there were words that she wanted to say but were all stuck in her throat. However, Damon’s voice was very gentle, and he did not seem to even be reprimanding her in the slightest as he said, “I know everything that’s happening, Jeanette. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”“It’s all my fault. I’m so stupid that I can’t help you protect the company. This is your life’s work after all, so I’ll never be able to forgive myself if it f
“Mimi… What… What have you been busy with these days?” Elias instantly felt that he had asked a really stupid question right after the words left his mouth. ‘What else could she be doing aside from filming? But I don’t really like this distant feeling between us. It’s only been a few days since we last met, yet it feels as if we’re no better than strangers at the moment.’Still with her head lowered, she mumbled out a reply, “You should’ve seen the news. I’m recently filming a TV series by Ze
The weather that day was still gloomy, with grey clouds covering up the sun, causing the air to be filled with a layer of heaviness. Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, even if one were to sit next to the transparent window that spanned all the way to the floor, they would still not be able to enjoy basking in the sun’s rays. On the other hand, Mimi and Elias were sitting right opposite each other, the atmosphere slightly weird. An elegant tune was being played as it filled the atmosphere. I
On the other hand, Mimi had seen through all of Elias’ hesitation in his expression. She then wryly laughed as her heart slowly sank. ‘There! This is how he’s always been. ‘I know he doesn’t love me. I’ve always known…‘However, in the past, I’ve always thought that I would be able to feel happy as long as I could stay by his side as his friend and support him from behind. Even if I couldn’t be his lover, I could at least be involved in his life and know how he felt every day. ‘But, I now
Elias had always known that the woman he loved was Jeanette, and that had never changed ever since the both of them were in high school. Although Elias had gone through girlfriends after girlfriends over the years, making him seem like an absolute playboy, he was the only one who truly knew that the only reason he was behaving like that was that he was trying to forget her. Elias loved Jeanette, and he himself did not doubt his feelings for her until that moment. In fact, he loved her so muc
Elias could not understand for the life of him why he was having those emotions. The more he could not understand, the more frustrated he felt. He reached out his hand and violently swiped everything on the table onto the floor. He then shut his eyes and rested against the chair as a sour sensation built up inside his heart, gnawing away his nerves which were giving him these painful jolts.…After Mimi left the restaurant, her tears flowed out uncontrollably. However, she knew that Elias was
Jeanette heaved a sigh as she covered her head with one hand, and her eyes shut to rest for a while. Then, her secretary brought in a cup of coffee, and the office was instantly filled with the aroma coming from it, which alleviated a huge chunk of Jeanette’s fatigue. “How are the shareholders taking the news of the press conference?” Jeanette fought hard to remain focused as she looked at her secretary. “Don’t worry, Ms. Leighton. I’ve notified everyone about the press conference. Although
In her mind, she was back at the place where she had first met Elias, which was also the moment when she had truly fallen in love with someone at first sight. At the time, Mimi had come up with all sorts of imaginary endings she might have with him but never had she expected for it to end up like how it had at that very moment. After she first met him, Mimi had launched a ferocious pursuit toward him. At the time, she had still been a superstar and the people’s goddess but was never restrained
