Noel still had not arrived a while later. It was a stormy weekend night, so he drove cautiously and carefully. He slowly slowed down because there were occasional traffic accidents at night.
Meanwhile, Alice cleaned up the dishes, and the house still smelled like spaghetti. She then poured a glass of hot milk for Zayden.
After that, Alice put her head down and washed the dishes. She appeared calm, but she was struggling on the inside as if her heart was also raining.
Time did not allow her to forget Zayden. She still had a love-hate relationship with him and knew that, no matter how much time passed, she would feel the same way about him.
The living room was unusually quiet. Alice returned from doing the dishes to find Zayden lying on the couch. She tried to wake him up, but he looked tired and haggard. He was asleep, but he was still frowning like he was sorrowful.
Zayden had already finished the milk, leaving only an empty glass on the table. Ali
“Do you know my cousin?” Noel asked, surprised.Alice became even more enraged when she saw his blank expression. She said, “Do you think it matters? Do you want me to call him and ask him about this?”“Stop it and go get the trash can,” Zayden told Noel.Only after seeing the cut on Zayden’s arm did Noel return to his senses and bring the trash can.Alice sprayed his wound with hydrogen peroxide. The wound emitted white foam, at the drops ran down his arm to the ground. Zayden didn’t even blink as he looked in pain. He kept looking at Alice as if he trying to get some information from her.Alice was focused entirely on treating his wound while frowning the entire time. She appeared upset and angry.Noel had not expected to see such a scene when he arrived here. Alice concentrated on treating Zayden’s wound before telling Noel, “Remember to have him change his bandages every day. He
Tracy continued to shake with rage and told Alice what Rishan had said to her.Alice didn’t understand what she was saying, but she got the gist of it. Rishan told his mother he was pleased with Tracy and even wanted to marry her. She thought, ‘What the heck? I mean, it was Zayden that I went on a blind date with. So, how the hell could Rishan tell that Tracy is the one for him? They were not even there for the blind date. This is… Wait!’‘Hold on. Could be that Zayden bought over Rishan so that he could see me and talk to me in this way. Damn it! This is so full of his style. Of course, Zayden would do something like that! And now, how I’m supposed to answer Tracy? I can’t just tell her that, “Sorry, to be honest, it was not Rishan who went on a blind date with me. It was Zayden.” It will sure stir up the mess even more!’Tracy’s wanted Alice to scare the hell out of Rishan. That way, Rishan would not want to marry her, and she could shut her mother up Tracy growled, “I didn’t expect
Alice arrived at the hospital on time for the medical examination and waited with the other interns at the entrance. When Alice arrived at her destination, she was taken aback by the large letters on the building: “Dream High Group.”She was completely shocked. There were so many businesses in this city as well as so many hospitals and expatriates working there. But she had been thrown here by a chance.Although Alice was embarrassed and surprised, she knew she could not leave as she wanted. Taking a deep breath, she collected herself and joined the others.Alice assumed that she would not meet Zayden because they needed to do medical checks on the newest recruits. As a result, she was relieved. The physical examination was scheduled to take place in the gym on the fifth floor, which was divided into several areas. The doctors instructed everyone to form a line for an ordinary physical examination. The testing department had assigned Alice to do blood tests.Two Dream High Group emplo
After Noel left, the office Max calmly surveyed Zayden and asked, “Who’s the doctor he just mentioned?”“Stop asking,”’ Zayden said, irritated.Max set his fork down and inquired, “Is this doctor female? You have been getting a lot scandals lately, so be careful.”“Huh? What scandals have you heard?”Max sat straight on the couch. Although he was not tall and a child, he looked very composed. He said, “Rain has been coming here a lot lately. If you like her, you should take her home and introduce her to Great-grandpa. But if that’s not the case, don’t let them spread this nonsense gossip. It’s humiliating, in my opinion.”Zayden was still preoccupied with Noel’s information, so he was taken aback when he heard Max say that. He said, frowning, “What are you talking about?”Max got to his feet and said, “You are no longer young, and you are not the same person you once were. This type of gossip is ridiculous. I’m not the kid I used to be, so I don’t care if you marry or not.” Max then w
Raea was making coffee in the pantry. She then went inside the warehouse to look for more coffee beans and get some other drinks, because none were left. Just then, she heard someone outside on the phone. She realized it was a secretary she knew.“Noel brought the doctor here, and she is been in Mr. Collins office for about an hour. Yes, it has been a long time. Mr. Collin also refused to let his secretary in. I saw someone come in and bring them juice and snacks. I think Mr. Collins asks them to deliver food.”“No, I don’t think she is just a doctor. Mr. Collins seem to know her and Noel is very respectful of her.”After a brief pause, the secretary hung up because the person she talked to became impatient. Raea hid in the pantry storeroom, and it listened in on her conversation. She came out with coffee only after the secretary had left.Raea pretended as if nothing had occurred. She arranged everything and brought the coffee she had made to Max’s office.****At the same time, Rain
Aria and Eliana return from Flora’s house in the evening. After entering the house, Aria walked around and said firmly, “Alice brought someone here, and that person was a man.”Eliana was puzzled, “What? A man?”Aria explained, “See, there are two unwashed coffee cups on the table. There were two clean plates on the kitchen shelf, so maybe they had dinner here!”“That’s only proof there was a visitor. And their visitor was not necessarily a man!”Aria proudly pulled a pair of disposable slippers from the trash can in the living room and said, “Look! These are clearly no slippers for women! These are for too large.”Eliana froze and then walked out of the bedroom. She didn’t believe it, so she asked, “Would my mother bring a man home? That cannot be true!”Aria took a can of Coke from the fridge and said, “Why not? She is not even 30, it’s perfectly normal for her to be in a relationship. She can’t stop falling in love for rest of her life, just to look for us. We should encourage us h
Rain said in surprise, “What? I can buy several of these bags with that money!”“Then you can just go buy them,” Aria said calmly to her.Rain was at a loss for words. She couldn’t get another one because it was a limited edition bag.Just then Max, who was standing nearby, said, “I’m taking the bag.”Max slowly walked over to Aria. He was dressed casually in a white suit and appeared very calm.Aria froze when she realized the boy looked familiar. “Do you want it?” She asked“Yes. Have you regretted it?”“$100,000. Would you like to give me cash or a cheque?”Max thought the girl in front of him looked very familiar, and he explained gently, “Don’t be mad. I just really like this bag. I’m buying it from you some because I want to give it to someone.”Aria didn’t like what they were doing and thought there was no way the woman could have spent that much money on a bag. However, she didn’t expect this kid to do that.Also, Aria felt that she could not go back on her words because she h
Alice didn’t leave the bathroom until the two nurses left. She was irritated, but not enraged as she had heard so many slender rumors that she felt that they no longer mattered to her.After washing her hands, Alice still went to the Dream High Group. On her way, she decided that she would never come back after changing the swab for Zayden.As soon as she reached the top floor, the secretary standing in front of Zayden’s office recognized Alice and said to her, “Mr. Collins is out in a meeting, and he hasn’t come back yet. Please wait for a moment.”Alice nodded and said, “Okay, then I will go into his office.”The secretary hesitated for a while, but still said, “I’m sorry, Dr. Brown, Mr. Collins and Noel are not here, so we cant take it upon ourselves to let you go in his office. Let me call Noel and ask for his opinion.”“That won’t be necessary. I will just wait for him in the lounge.”The secretary thought of something before laughing contemptuously. She said, “Please come with m
“Mom, don’t come over!” Eliana and Max yelled at the same time.“Alice, you are such a lucky bitch. You have such two wonderful children. I have worked hard my entire life, but now I have nothing in the end,” Jessica said in an envious tone.‘Did you just mention children? Could be that you suddenly wanted to meet Gary before you die because he’s your only family?’ At the thought, Alice gently asked “Jessica, do you want to meet Gary?”Instead of answering Alice's question, Jessica remained silent. She then bowed her head and began trembling.“I will call him right now. He just left, so he will come back soon,” Alice added.“Is Gary really coming back?”“Yeah. He’s doing great this year. He has always get high grades on his test and he is popular school. He is just as smart as you are.” Alice praised Jessica in the hopes of changing her mind.“He didn’t want to see me. I tried to talk to him this year, but his maid always mistook me for a beggar and told me get lost.” Jessica spoke in
A woman in a janitor’s uniform rushed out of the tool room as Eliana and Charlotte left the restroom. The woman then pressed a fruit knife against Eliana’s neck. Eliana had no idea what was going on because it happened so quickly. She could not stop shaking when she felt the cold metal against her skin.Charlotte was so scared that she screamed. Then she immediately covered her mouth. After hearing her voice many people made their way to the restroom. However, no one dared to approach them, they all stood back and watched.Eliana grabbed the woman’s arm from behind as she wanted to wrestle her to the ground. She thanked Alice were forcing her to take so many taekwondo classes at this moment.However, the woman realized what Eliana was trying to do. She whispered in a husky voice, “Don’t do anything. I will slit your throat if you move one more time. By then your blood will flow like a water flower and you will die tragically.”The woman’s voice was so husky that it made Eliana feel li
Dominic saw Eliana the moment she walked into the room. He looked at her as if he could not take his eyes off her. Eliana shone like a star that was even more dazzling than the bright chandelier. Whenever he looked at her, his heart beat faster, and his palms sweat.Ever since Eliana entered the hall, Dominic had been looking at her. He watched her as she walked around the venue and to greet the guests and he was disappointed when he noticed that many young boys were looking at her as much as he was.Later on, the host asked Eliana and Max to come on the stage. They sang the birthday song together and then catch the multi-tiered cake. Zayden then announced that the party was started.It was not until then that Eliana was free. When she saw him after she left the stage, Eliana moved quickly towards Dominic. Every step she took seemed to step into his heart, causing it to beat like a drum.Dominic had been waiting for Eliana to become an adult for the past two years, but she had no idea
After dinner, Eliana comes back to her apartment. She took a quick shower before going to bed. As she lay down in bed, she checked her phone and found tons of unread messages in the Team Wolf Chat Group. Eliana was supposed to join her teammates in celebrating their victory after the game, but she didn’t because her parents showed up unexpectedly.Eliana’s teammates not only posted pictures from dinner in the chat room, but they also mentioned for several times. Eliana was about to go to bed after replying to everyone's message, but the moment she discovered Dominic had also texted her, she perished her thoughts.Dominic had become extremely busy since he retired from the e-sports circle two years ago and returned to London to take over his family’s business. Recently, instead of having time to play games with her, he could only teach her practical strategies occasionally.Dominic returned to Rose City this time just to watch their game. However, Dominic and Eliana didn’t even have ti
After the game was over, the lights in the hall lit up and the host invited two teams onto the stage after congratulating the winners.Max and his parents took a seat in the first row. People around them began to whisper in surprise, and they only stopped when Team Wolf showed up on the stage.The stage was well-lit, but the auditorium was dark, so Eliana had no idea her parents, whom she had not seen in a long time, had arrived on the scene.Standing on this stage, Eliana smiled while waving at the audience. She sparkled like a diamond and nothing seemed to be able to dim her light.Meanwhile, Alice looked at Eliana as if she was her biggest fire. She felt proud of Eliana from the bottom of her heart.Initially, Alice was furious when she learned that Eliana wanted to become an e-sports player. However, she began to regret it after Eliana became a world champion. ‘If I stopped her back, then I would have stopped her from succeeding. Thank goodness I didn’t do so. Alice thought to her
Two years later, an important match took place in a hall in the center of Rose City. Eliana’s team, the Wolfs would play against a team from another country.Teen Wolf had previously won the world championship twice while their opponent was a dark horse team that had only recently formed. As a result, game lovers from both countries eagerly anticipated this match.At the same time, this was the most crucial match for Eliana since she joined Team Wolf two years ago. She would be a member of the world championship team if she won the game. However, she would lose her best chance to win the World Championship if she lost it. Therefore, Eliana took this match very seriously.Because the Dream High Group was one of the match sponsors, the live room was packed with people Eliana knew. Although ticker prizes had risen to several thousand dollars per person, Max could still obtain tickets for his family.At that moment, Trevor, Maggie, and their children sat in the center of the front row. Da
Henry was very efficient. Two days later, he managed to place the information he had gathered about Dominic on Max’s desk.Then Max started reading it carefully.Dominic Deleon was Dominic's full name. He was born and grew up in London, and he was twenty years old. His great-grandfather was a politician who once held a high govt position. His grandfather was a successful businessman who owned a large corporation. As for his father, he was a businessman who made the company well.Dominic was the family’s only child, but he was uninterested in business. He fell in love with e-sports in college and soon signed up with an E-sports company. Later, he made it to one of the best teams in the country and was named captain due to his outstanding performance. He once led his team to a world championship victory.Before moving to Rose City Dominic attended a university in London. However after he fell out with his parents, he transferred to a college in Rose City because several of his teammates
“Do you really want to know about it?” Dominic asked after some thought.“Yes!” Eliana said.“I might tell you after we get to know each other better. But, you know, we are not even friends now,” He said.“Well, I’m not interested in that anymore.” Eliana said. She became impatient, so she stopped talking to Dominic.“Are you angry?” Dominic asked.“No.”“I know you won’t get angry that easily.”“That’s because I know getting angry easily is bad for my health. It’s nothing to do with you.”Hearing Eliana’s words, Dominic burst out laughing. He knew Eliana loved sashimi, so he gave her that plate. “Well, we are friends now,” he said.At that time, Charlotte was talking to Kevin and Max was talking to Jason. On the other hand, Max kept a close eye on Dominic and paid attention to his every move.Dominic quickly realized this, so he turned to look at Max. The two boys then locked their gaze on each other. Max appeared weary and hostile whereas Dominic didn’t seem to be bothered by Max’s
Alice nearly fell on her knees and then stood up straight with all her strength. Seeing that Zayden was in more pain. He wanted to rush to Alice and help her out of the situation at that moment, but he had to wait for the right time. Therefore, he stood in the crowd, silent.“I’m just a doctor. I’m not that capable enough to defeat mercenaries.” Alice said, through gritted teeth.Hearing that Victoria kicked her once more. “Are you trying to fool me? I’m sure you know some special forces! Isn’t Adrian Taylor is your brother-in-law.”Alice let out a painful groan. She took a deep breath and said, “I had no idea you know it. But sadly, none of them in Flesoil.”“That’s fine. I can wait! They will agree to my request, as long as you are my hostage.”Zayden’s gun was in his pocket, but he didn’t have the guts to touch it.At that time, Victoria’s gun remain pressed against Alice’s temple, making him nervous. His hands were sweating, and he was even more nervous than he had when he saved E
