After a moment, Fiona got into the car. It was Darwin's car, and his assistant, Jackie, was driving. Throughout the journey, Jackie expressed everyone's concern for her and his anger towards Donald's actions.Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance of Fiona's apartment building. Jackie got out of the car and offered to hold an umbrella for Fiona. Fiona smiled and took the umbrella, saying, 'My right hand is fine.'Jackie looked at Fiona with concern and said, "Mr. Solomon said you can take a few days off.""No, I want to finish handing over the work quickly," Fiona shook her head.Jackie felt somewhat helpless. Fiona nodded and was about to leave."Secretary Woods!" Jackie called out to her.Fiona turned around and asked, "Is there something else?""Mr. Solomon is actually very worried about you," Jackie said, as if afraid Fiona wouldn't believe him. He added, "Seriously!"Of course, Fiona believed it. Even if you keep a small cat or dog by your side for five years, you
In the end, Ashton muttered in frustration, "They will compensate. My boss... is very generous." Fiona smiled and pushed a cup of mountain-style ice cream in front of Ashton. "Calm down.""You're just too easy-going. Those brats in your company dare to throw everything at you."Thanks to Ashton, they discovered the bank account belonging to Donald's mother."As a child, the three of us used to take a stroll on this road, holding hands after dinner," Ashton patted a sturdy Chinese parasol tree on the side of the road. "Back then, these trees weren't as robust."Ashton's father passed away in a car accident when she was ten years old. A few years later, her mother met a wealthy businessman and remarried. It was also the year Ashton was able to study abroad with the help of her stepfather."Missing your dad?" Fiona gently asked.Ashton bit her lip and nodded slightly. "Very much."Fiona caressed her hand to offer comfort.She didn't know who her own father was. Her mother had returned to
Fiona ended the video call. She sat on the sofa, dazed for a moment. Normally, Grandma Solomon would live in a nursing home for everyone’s convenience. She would only go back to the old house if something major happened in the Solomon family. At that moment when Darwin took back the phone, Fiona clearly saw the camera and Miss Ross looking in this direction.So...It wasn’t a business trip. Did they get engaged today? What was Darwin thinking, why did he make Grandma, in front of Miss Ross, video call her? Has he gone crazy? And he's a complete scumbag, not considering the girl at all? She touched her belly."Your father is really something!"After cursing, she felt that she shouldn't have said bad things about her father in front of the child. Annoyed, Fiona threw the phone aside and went back to her room to sleep.Later that night, the phone on the sofa buzzed twice. Darwin sent a WhatsAPP message."You don't have to move, I will transfer that house to you.""Go and cash the 20 mill
Anniston didn't even realize what happened. She still had a smile on her face. Hathaway held a booklet, intending to show it to Darwin.Unexpectedly..."These men... have no sense of responsibility when it comes to work!" Anniston was the first to react, trying her best to suppress her anger as she spoke kindly to Hathaway.Doesn't Anniston understand her son?No matter how serious the work is, he won't react like that."Auntie." Hathaway looked at Anniston. "The Miss Woods you mentioned, is her full name Fiona?"Anniston was surprised for a moment. "Ah... yes, she is Darwin's executive secretary."Hathaway nodded. That day, he went to the airport to pick her up. She saw him from afar. Among the crowd, he stood tall and handsome, extremely eye-catching. However...He seemed absent-minded, constantly looking at his phone. He didn't even notice her until she reached him.Leaving the airport, he made the excuse of having a company matter and took her to the office.Hathaway didn't think
"I looked up some local cuisine online. There's one that looks really delicious, but it's a bit far, and if we go late, we'll have to wait in line!"Over the past few years, the people Fiona had been around were either cunning and scheming or decadent. It had been many, many years since she had seen someone as innocent and carefree as Harold. For a brief moment, Fiona saw a glimpse of her past self before the dramatic changes. Warm and earnest."Okay, since I'm treating you to a meal, whatever you choose is up to you."Fiona patiently nodded, as if coaxing a child. Harold's excitement was palpable. Fiona grabbed her bag and left the house with Harold. Autumn in New Port, with yellow leaves filling the streets and alleyways, created a charming atmosphere. Fiona sat in the passenger seat, lazily listening to Harold's excited introduction of the sights along the way. He had seemed to make a lot of preparations. Fiona responded with indifference, not showing much enthusiasm. But in Harold
"Go inside!" Darwin pushed Fiona on the shoulder. Fiona stumbled and took two steps back. Before she could stop Darwin from entering, he had already stepped inside and slammed the door shut. The loud bang made Fiona's heart tremble."Mr. Solomon, if you have something to say, let's talk outside!" Fiona said in a deep voice. She couldn't help but recall Darwin's wicked actions on the cruise ship."Go outside?" Darwin advanced step by step toward Fiona. Fiona frowned and instinctively backed away."If I go out now, aren't you afraid of being seen by your new love?" Darwin's tone was chilling. "When did you meet that kid from the Klein family? When did you become so intimate? What did you do behind my back when you ran away together?""Darwin, can you stop talking nonsense?" Fiona furrowed her brow. "Harold and I have nothing. I came to New Port for a business trip!"At this moment, Fiona's back was against the wall, with no more room to retreat. Darwin's cold hand grabbed her neck the n
Darwin held Fiona in his arms. It felt surreal, as if they were in another world."Mr. Solomon," Her hesitance gave way to the exhaustion she felt, and she didn't resist."Hmm..." Darwin buried his head in her neck, making a nonverbal gesture of acknowledgment. It felt like something was slowly tearing Fiona's heart apart."I'm tired. I just want to live a peaceful and ordinary life... Please let me go." There was no hysteria, no angry outburst. Just a calm request. Darwin instinctively tightened his grasp around Fiona's waist."I'm not Miss Robbins," Fiona continued, "the things you like, they are all an act. But I'm tired... I don't want to be Lilian's substitute anymore. I want to be myself again.""Stop talking. Weren't you going to rest?" Darwin frees one hand and gently covered Fiona's mouth. "Sleep!"I can't understand what Darwin is thinking. He doesn't love her and has found a new replacement, so why does he still bother her? Blaming her past competence? Fiona laughed at hers
Darwin was different from the typical domineering CEOs in many novels. He didn't have a tragic background. His parents were alive and had a good relationship.He grew up spoiled, like a golden child.Fiona had been with him for five years. She had grown accustomed to his indifference and his superiority. She had also grown accustomed to his ruthless and cunning ways in the business world.Except for Lilian, there was nothing that could bind him.Strictly speaking.Fiona didn't even consider Lilian as a constraint on him.When he had a car accident, Lilian abandoned him and married into the privileged family. Darwin found a substitute to satisfy his addiction but didn't go after her.Fiona had seen Darwin in various states. But what she saw now was the worst she had ever seen. She turned away. Darwin's shirt was a little wrinkled from sleeping. As she looked at him, his good-looking face was filled with an unfamiliar sense of superiority."Are you possessed?"Fiona asked seriously.Dar
