“Are you a cop?” The driver asked, after a brief pause. To shut the driver up, Aria gave the driver some cash.Then the driver’s eyes glowed, and he said in excitement, “Fasten your seat belt, please!”A short while later, the car quickly caught up with the Mercedes. After two blocks. the car stopped in front of the Dream High Group construction site.“Please stop right here,” Aria said. She immediately unbuckled her seat belt and left the car.“What are you doing?” Anthony asked as he followed Aria into the construction site.“Shh!” Aria crept behind the discarded floorboards. She then saw a man and a woman get out of a car and walk into a building together.“Who is it?” Asked the doorman.“It’s me,” the woman said.“Miss Anderson? What brings you here in the middle of the night?”It was late in the evening. The wind blew through the unfinished building, rustling the white plastic bags on the ground.Raea frowned and said to the man, “I have shown you the plans, and I’m sure there’s
“Before I left…” Alice paused for a moment before deciding to keep her mouth shut. She then changed the topic abruptly, “That’s not the point. Did you give them the medicine?”Patrick nodded, he then spread his palm carefully. He had just been clutching that syringe tightly, and he knew he would have been in trouble if Smiths had searched his body. With a smug, Patrick said, “He probably didn’t think I dare to keep this to myself.”“We will have to be more cautious in the future. Smith is already suspicious of us.”“Don’t worry. The patients are very cooperative with us. They are not going to say anything. They all have faith in us. Also, what should we do if Smith comes back, Dr. Collins? Patrick asked.Alice exhaled deeply and replied, “I don’t know. I have submitted a report to the Foreign Ministry. I hope it will establish additional reinforcements to protect the medics.”“Is that why Dr. Murray left?” Patrick asked.“No, she went to attend to other matters.” Alice sat thoughtfull
The weather was getting cooler as Christmas approached.After she lost the opportunity, Charlotte was worried every day. She did however gain some weight from eating delicious food with Eliana every day.“If I fail again this time, you can fire me.” Charlotte said to Eliana.Eliana looked at her phone as she followed Charlotte to the elevator. She asked without looking up, “Huh? Why?”“Because I feel like I have ruined your career. Nelly gave us such a great opportunity, but we lost it. It’s such a shame!”“Why are you so worried? I’m your boss, and I’ve said nothing about it. Nobody is gonna fire you,” With the pout, Eliana replied.“I know you are not interested in making money, but…” Charlotte had no idea how she should express her thoughts so she could only keep them to herself. ‘Many people became life steamers to make money. However, as a rich girl, you are not shot on cash. And only play e-sports because you enjoy it. Eliana, you don’t want to make money from it, but I do also.
“Do you know where we are going?” Charlotte asked.“No, but I can give you a ride.”Charlotte waved to say something else, but Eliana was ready to get in the car.“Eliana!” Charlotte shouted and thought to herself as she watched Eliana get in the car backseat. ‘What on Earth is going on here? Why are you behaving so strangely today, Eliana?’“We are going to the Central Avenue,” Eliana said to the driver after entering the cab.Sitting in the passenger seat, Dominic looked at Eliana in the review mirror after hearing that. He assumed that Eliana was under the age of 18 at that time. She was dressed in a white down jacket with headphones around her neck. She was looking at her phone and didn’t seem to want to talk to anyone.Then Dominic asked, “What did you mean when you said I stole your contract just now? Were they originally planning to sign with you?”Charlotte gave him a stern look and said, “Didn’t you just notice us? We came here today just to sign that damn contract.”“Are you
“She’s the most beautiful live streamer? Really? Amber is ten times prettier than her. Whoever made the list must be joking, right?” Charlotte nearly snapped.“If Amber had not refused to let people see what she looks like, she could have replaced her. Seriously, if Amber was willing to release her photo, her fans base would be much larger than it is now, and she would receive advertising contracts every day.”“That’s not going to work. Amber won’t do that,” Charlotte said, shaking her head.“Then there is nothing I can do for you, dear.” Nelly said as she walked out the door.“Nelly!” Charlotte stomped her foot in frustration as she watched Nelly’s figure vanish through the office door. She muttered, “Why do people care so much about other people's look nowadays?”After calming herself down, Charlotte walked out of Nelly’s office. As soon as she shut the door and turned around, she saw Eliana, who didn’t seem to be in a bit hurry. Anxious, Charlotte set to Eliana, “Eliana, for real?
As Eliana and Charlotte were talking inside the office, they heard someone walk towards them, saying, “Mr. Collins, Eliana and her friend are waiting for you in your office.”“Okay.” With that, Max walked into the office.The instant she saw Max, Eliana raised the cookie in her hand and smiled at him.“Hello,” Charlotte said as she stood up.Max gave her a nod, “Have we met before?”“You remember her, don’t you? Wow! I thought you couldn’t remember her.” Eliana made a playful expression.“You had remember her too, if she hit you with plunger.” Max said, then he placed a credit card on the table, adding, “I am sorry, but I have some work to do now. There is a mall nearby, so you could go there first and hang out. After I finish work, I will take you guys out for dinner.”“We’re not here to have dinner with you. Tell him what we’re here for, Charlotte,” Nudging Charlotte, Eliana said to her.“We… ummm…” Nervous and embarrassed Charlotte stuttered.“You what?” With a frown, Max asked a b
“What’s the problem with the instant noodles? Everybody love instant noodles. This is the very first contract I got you. Now I finally don’t feel inferior to others company assistant.” Charlotte burst out laughing after she said that.“You don’t feel in fear to them, but I do.”“Do you think you are inferior to the other live streamers? Why?”“I mean at my house!” Eliana glared at her. She then was lost in thought. ‘I always wanted to show mom how capable I can be as a live streamer. That way she would stop saying, “You just can’t do anything right” to me. But I don’t think I will ever impress her with the instant noodle advertising. Plus, it’s Max who got me the advertisement!’The more Eliana thought about it, the angrier she became in a fit of anger, she pointed her index finger at Charlotte and said, “I’m firing you right now!”“No, you are not firing me. I’m not going anywhere. After I sign the contract, I’m going to invite your brother to dinner.” Charlotte appeared to be extrem
After a brief pause, the waiter said with hesitation, “Miss Collins, about this…”“What are you scared of? If something goes wrong, I will take the blame." Patting her chest, Eliana said with certainty.“Sorry, but I don’t believe that is a good idea. Mr. Carter is my manager’s friend,” Smiling awkwardly. They waited still trying to talk Eliana out of it.“It’s okay. Just do what she says. I will take responsibility for everything.” Max said.And the waiter agreed after gaining Max’s guarantee.Surprised, Charlotte asked, “Why don’t you ask her what she’s doing directly? Why bother getting a stranger involved in it?” ‘Eliana, you drug Evan and beat him up a few days ago. Thank goodness your uncle covered your ass. And this time you are messing with the violent man. Are you out of your mind?’ At the thought of that Charlotte felt a headache.“I just want to test if he really liked Rose.” Eliana said triumphantly, “Just see what happens.”****At the same time, Rose was flipping through
“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
