Damon noticed that there were some books about Old English at the bottom-most rack, but it seemed like it had been untouched for a long time.“Do you like to read these?” He took out one of the books.“What’s the matter? Are you going to even control what I should like now?”“Since you’re interested in Old English, why did you major in Finance?”Jeanette immediately snatched the book back and coldly said, “That’s none of your business.”‘Why did I major in Finance… Isn’t that just so that I
Damon suddenly softly said, “You probably shouldn’t move that much. Otherwise, my towel is going to drop.”“What!?”The moment she was stunned, she could feel the towel wrapped around Damon’s waist was gracefully falling onto the ground.Since Jeanette’s face was already burning bright red from a moment ago, Damon merely chuckled as he enjoyed the sweetness in his lips even more.Actually, if it was not for the fact that Jenny was at home, Jeanette really wanted to fiercely knee-kick him at
The next day, when Jenny woke up, she saw that Jeanette was already sitting in the living room, reading through the magazine that was delivered that morning.It was a well-renowned finance magazine, and the person on the front cover of that edition’s magazine was Damon.When the interviewer asked what Damon’s ideal type of partner was, his answer was—‘Smart, beautiful, and has long legs.’‘Such a vulgar answer.’Jeanette snorted through her nose. ‘When this interview was conducted, it was pr
This made her feel extremely uncomfortable.“Guys, please stop being like this. I’d prefer if things were as they used to be when I didn’t have all this special treatment,” Jeanette told her colleagues.“How could things possibly be the same as they used to? The future of our company lies in your hands now, Jeanette!” Jeanette’s superior had personally approached her and warmly shook her hand.Jeanette let out an awkward smile as she retracted her hand.“Jeanette, you should have a good chat
This was definitely Jenny’s doing. She must have told Damon about this restaurant because a guy who had been subsisting on nothing less than a Michelin five-stars restaurant could not have possibly known about a quiet, cheap place like this.“Stop staring into space and disembark from the car already.”Damon did not leave the car at all. Instead, his eyes were simply nailed forward.Elias Burnham and Mimi Norton!Mimi caught sight of Damon just as well, and she quickly approached him with a
“I think I must have really fallen in love with you, Elias,” she started without preamble. Her dour tone was a jarring departure from the giddy, bubbly one she used just minutes ago. “Because I’m done.”“W-What?”“I can’t have fish, Elias. I’m allergic to seafood,” she gruntled.He froze. Combing through his memories, all he remembered was just how happy she was digging into her meal.Mimi pulled the sleeve up one of her arms. Bright, red rashes had reared their ugly heads all over her skin.
On the other side, Damon’s car was tearing through the asphalt. He was only going faster.“What are you d-doing, Damon? Damon! S-Slow down right now!” Jeanette cried, tucking on her safety belt even more tightly as the car continued to veer.He had flouted the speed limit at least a few minutes ago. Despite driving in a rather packed road smack-dab in the city, he lurched in careless abandon, seemingly deaf to the cacophony of angry honking he had helped orchestrate around him. Did he think he
“No.”“Oh, riiiiight! Gotta’ go back to your own place after staying at mine for two days. Wouldn’t seem right otherwise, right?” the older woman said, before adding, “Damon, dear, please take care of my little Jeanette for me, okay? She’s a really good, honest, upright young lady. I know for a fact that she truly cares about you deep in her heart—”Damon hung the call up in the middle of Jenny’s meandering and turned the car around, retracing his trip. But by the time he reached the spot wher
