The moment the phone was hung up, he curled his lips, and a scheming smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.Jeanette was listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone call in the Godfrey manor. Her heart was aching terribly, and a sense of fear consumed her heart. At that moment, she really did not know what to do.How could Damon betray her? He loved her so much, so much that she was all that he saw. How could such a gentle and affectionate man do anything to hurt her?But Xav
In the bedroom, Damon had fallen awkwardly on the floor next to the bed. He curled up his tall body, and his pale face was abnormally flushed. His eyes were closed tightly, his brows furrowed. It looked like he was feeling very sick.Somehow, he kept feeling like his body was awfully hot, like a fire burning in his chest. There was a bizarre feeling gushing out of his body, and it felt as if it would drown him. The tumbling pain in his stomach was accompanied by an inexplicable warmth that was flowing in his body. It made him feel uncomfortable, and he felt like he was about to explode at any moment.Jeanette’s face flashed across his mind because of the inexplicable warmth, and he suddenly felt like he missed Jeanette so much that he really wanted to hug her."Jeanette…"His thin lips opened slightly, and his eyes were closed as he was dizzy. He whispered the name in a low voice. His husky and alluring voice also had an intense tenderness in it, like it was filled with overwhelmin
It was because the man who was hugging her was the man she had loved for a very long time.Since the first day she had joined the Godfrey Group, she was deeply attracted by her cold CEO.She had just been a new girl at that time, and she was not the CEO’s secretary yet. She had just been a clerk in the human resources department, who did not understand anything, yet was stubborn and fearless.Back then, Damon hadn't fallen in love with Jeanette. There was a lot of gossip about him, and he was often photographed secretly dating celebrities and models.Although almost none of those photos had actually shown Damon's face and would only show his tall silhouette, the secretary had heard that the CEO was a playboy.She had also heard from other female employees in the company that their CEO was an extremely handsome guy. He was as handsome as those fine-looking male models in the magazine.He was the prince charming in all the women’s hearts, but it was a pity that he had gotten marrie
It seemed to be electrified, and it made her lose all the strength in her body. She could only hold on to his shoulders in despair, and her eyes were hazy.…The hustling and bustling view of the city sped past the car window, and the city seemed to be livelier at night than during the day.Jeanette was sitting in the car, and her body was tense. She kept staring at the bustling city outside the car window, and her heart was on edge.‘Should I be doubting Damon?’After all, Damon had been with her for so many years. His love and affection for her over the years were as clear as day, while Xavier was just someone who liked pranking her all the time.From the very beginning, he had messed around with her many times. This time, how could she have doubted Damon just because of this guy who liked pranking her?However, she could not control the surging anxiety in her chest, especially when she saw Damon and the secretary walking so close to each other through the picture Xavier had s
In the darkness, the small, beautiful black leather heels at the entrance were placed next to the leather shoes. Under the moonlight, there was a cold reflection, and it was a jarring sight.Those two pairs of shoes were placed together, looking like they belonged to the owners of the villa, but the real owner was clearly standing at the door at that moment, and the heels did not belong to her.Jeanette obviously could not believe everything in front of her eyes. Her body trembled frantically. Her eyes were red, and she could not stop the intense pain that appeared in her heart. She felt like her heart just got stabbed.How did that happen? The man who had told her how much he loved her so tenderly, the man who had sheltered her from the rain and storm when she was at her lowest, the man who had always been gentle to her.Her teardrops fell on the floor, and Jeanette felt utter despair for the first time.However, she could not stop her body from trembling. The pain at the bottom
‘What the hell is going on? Wasn’t I just kissing Jeanette?’Damon was stunned. His mind was a mess. His glazed eyes prevented him from getting a grip over the situation before him. Was it a dream, or was it reality?The secretary was embarrassed. She looked guilty as if she had done something wrong. “Ms… Ms. Leighton. It’s not what it looks like.”She wanted to explain but wasn’t sure of what to say.Jeanette had seen everything. What more could she explain?Should she say she didn’t do it on purpose? That she was only here to take care of Damon, who wasn’t feeling well? That she really wasn’t here to fight with her, that it was only a misunderstanding?Even the secretary felt that an explanation like that was a joke. At the end of the day, she had failed to control herself. She should have pushed Damon away, but she didn’t. She was psychotic. She knew that this wasn’t right, yet she felt strangely hot and was unable to control herself.Jeanette was weeping. Tears trickled onto
The secretary was weeping. She was still unaware of Xavier’s evil plan. She simply couldn’t control her emotions.“I don’t know, either. Mr. Damon just… All of a sudden… I just… I couldn’t control it… Then Ms. Leighton appeared. Mr. Damon collapsed trying to run after Ms. Leighton, I… I don’t know anything…” The secretary was fumbling over her words incoherently. She couldn’t even speak clearly. All she could do was weep guiltily. Now, she believed that this was all her fault. She should have pushed Damon away.Xavier couldn’t understand her, either. “Fine, fine. You need to calm down. I can’t understand you at all. You can talk to me once you’ve calmed down.”However, the secretary continued weeping. “What should I do? Ms. Leighton has misunderstood us. If their relationship is destroyed because of me, I’ll be the biggest sinner in the world. You were right, Mr. Xavier. I’m a horrible woman. I failed to control my own feelings. If I had known, I would have left the Godfrey Group ag
Jeanette closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The air was still filled with Damon’s scent, like a familiar, calming fragrance.This room contained many wonderful memories she shared with Damon. Tiny bits and pieces of it played through her mind like a movie, drumming against her heart, over and over again. Her heart ached so much that she was numb from the pain.Those beautiful memories quickly transformed into an overwhelming sadness, rushing towards her like a flood, nearly drowning her h
