Fiona's anger from yesterday subsided. She had already organized the project information for Darwin before. Darwin was very interested. There was no problem with profitability. It's just a matter of how much profit."Let's get straight to the point." Fiona said calmly, "Regarding your financial report for the past six months, I have a rough idea. In simple terms, it's a loss.""Secretary Woods, this has nothing to do with our company's overall strength. Last year, another department took on a bad project, which resulted in a disastrous start to the year. The financial report was affected by this incident!" Director Longway quickly explained.The others chimed in as well."That's right, Secretary Woods. You can take a look at our other projects, they have all been profitable...""Great job!""Yeah, otherwise Mr. Solomon wouldn't consider working with us!"Everyone chimed in.Darwin remained silent. He just watched Fiona, waiting for her to speak."In the rapidly changing industry nowa
Everyone knew who Thalia's cousin was.With her sarcastic remark, the amount of information conveyed was truly shocking!"Substitute? What substitute?""This outfit of Secretary Woods' is indeed expensive. Just the pair of pearl earrings alone costs six figures!""Wow, a professional career woman? More like an ambitious woman!""That's right, if it weren't for Mr. Solomon, what kind of air could she put on?""Mr. Solomon is already engaged, so why does she cling to him... how shameless!"Fiona glanced at the people behind her.Many of them had just complimented her earlier.The gossipy ones immediately lowered their heads and pretended to be busy."Secretary Woods is quite formidable," Thalia sneered."Ms. Klein, Mr. Solomon's wedding is imminent. You better watch your mouth and stop spreading rumors everywhere. If Miss Ross hears about it and it affects the Ross family's alliance with the Solomons... be careful, or you'll be skinned alive."Fiona abandoned her previous submissive dem
Winter came unusually early in Bay City this year. When Fiona went to New Port, she only wore a thin coat. When she came back, she was standing at the crowded exit.Hathaway, beautiful and aristocratic, stood there, attracting many people's attention. Some recognized her. "Isn't she the heiress to the big conglomerate, the one who is engaged to the Solomons' heir?" "It's her! She's so stunning in person!" "Why is she at the airport so late?" "Obviously, to pick up her fiancé, look over there..." Darwin's face didn't look good. He instinctively looked at Fiona. Seeing her pale face, he felt anxious and annoyed. "I didn't know she was coming," Darwin whispered. "Isn't it normal for her to come to pick up her fiancé?" Fiona's tone was flat. "Mr. Solomon, you should go over there quickly. People have already recognized you. Don't let those with ill intentions take bad photos and make a big fuss." Darwin's face was as cold as ice. But he still walked in that direction. Fiona lowered
"How could I not recognize you."Rupert Wells was still the same as before, wearing silver-framed glasses, gentle and elegant like a spring breeze.But he looked more sturdy now, and his features had matured."Fiona, it's been a long time," he gazed at Fiona with a warm and gentle smile."Sir, it's been a while," Fiona responded softly."If you don't ask me, how would I have contacted you, Sir?" Ashton emphasized the word "sir," teasingly provoking.Fiona got to know Rupert Wells because of a physics tutoring class during the summer break.Ashton and Fiona attended the class together. In their teenage years, besides studying, they didn't have many worries, and the blossoming of youth added to it. The two of them slept together late at night. They loved discussing matters of the heart. I don't know how, but I firmly believe that Fiona and Rupert Wells have something going on. Until now, this obsession hasn't faded away. Even when choosing her princess, she didn't forget to include Rup
"Fiona, give me some time to talk!" Rupert Wells's face was full of sincerity.Fiona ignored him.Her gaze fell on that Gust car.The same model, it must be the same model.But the next second,The familiar driver got out of the car and, wearing white gloves, opened the rear door.Darwin, in a black windbreaker, stepped out of the car.He raised his eyes and met Fiona's gaze.Rupert Wells followed Fiona's gaze and looked over.When he saw Darwin, his pupils visibly trembled."What's he doing here?" Rupert Wells asked Fiona, "You two... you two haven't... but he's getting married?""Who's getting married? What marriage?" Ashton drunkenly looked over.Fiona grabbed him and turned him away from Darwin.Darwin had already approached."Mr. Newton, what does my getting married have to do with you?" Darwin exuded an air of wealth and superiority in his black suit.Rupert Wells could never forget. The insults and humiliations Darwin had inflicted upon him in the past. He easily got him kicked
Darwin!!! A raging anger surged in his heart. It was all his fault! He was about to marry, yet still tangled up with Fiona! He couldn't let it go, he had to save Fiona! Gust rode on the back. The driver didn't know where to go. Darwin was driving. "Darwin, slow down!!" Fiona grabbed onto her seatbelt, her hair standing on end. "Scared?" Darwin's expression was grim, his tone icy. "Of course!" Fiona replied. Darwin sneered, "Scared, yet you dare to treat me like this?" "What have I done to you?" Fiona was speechless. "I met Rupert Wells coincidentally, and from start to finish, the affection between Rupert Wells and I was all in your imagination. I've explained it!" Darwin gave her a deep look. He didn't say anything. He drove straight back home. Darwin was the most irritating person. His servants here would leave after finishing their tasks every day. So, the large house was now empty. Darwin held Fiona's hand and got off the elevator. Her wrist hurt from his grip. "Darwin, you're
Darwin's black shirt fit Fiona perfectly, neither too short nor too long, stopping just above her knees. She hadn't expected Darwin to come back at this time. The buttons were casually done, as long as it covered the necessary parts.Hearing the sound of the door opening, she startled like a frightened deer, turning around with surprise.Her thick black hair fell somewhat disorderly around her waist, making her snow-white skin stand out even more. It also made the red marks on her neck and collarbone appear particularly conspicuous.Darwin stood frozen in place.Fiona stood barefoot on the warm floor, feeling uneasy under Darwin's watchful gaze."Why did you come back?" Darwin raised his right hand.Only then did Fiona notice that he was still holding a bag in his hand."Hadn't you mentioned wanting the signature shrimp dumplings when I left this morning?" Darwin walked towards her as he spoke.In the morning, Darwin had rushed to a meeting in the company. When he left, he had kissed
"Why?" Darwin asked, puzzled.The villa was clearly safer and more comfortable than the apartment. It was his place.Before, Darwin had set rules for her, forbidding her from staying overnight here, just to prevent any misconceptions.But now..."Why?" Fiona smiled at Darwin.Darwin's heart sank."Because for me, there are too many unpleasant memories here," Fiona said word by word. "Do you know how inconvenient the transportation is here? It takes more than twenty minutes just to walk to the entrance of the community, and it's difficult to find a taxi in the middle of the night if you go out.""Do you remember when it was Miss Robbins' birthday one year, and you insisted on getting some lousy cake? When I bought it, it was almost frozen. What did you do?" Fiona pointed to the living room."You never even asked and just threw the cake into the trash.""So many times you've driven me crazy, and I had to get up and obediently leave.""Darwin, why do you think?" Darwin frowned.He walk
