Just as Primrose was about to get up to get another glass of juice, a strange man came from the front, sitting a chair away from her. Primrose looked at him; this was an elderly man, slightly fat and bald, with a strong perfume scent around him and eyes full of passion for Primrose. The excessive initiative caused Primrose to be on guard; she slightly backed away."Don't be so far away. I forgot to introduce myself. I am the director of Ahea Company, which is the most famous technology company in the market today.Primrose knew this company, of course, was a prestigious one, but this had nothing to do with Primrose's disgust with the man. Since sitting down, his eyes have never left Primrose's face, and the interest in his eyes made Primrose feel a little disgusted.This man approached her with bad intentions."Why don't you say anything? Not every girl is initiated by me to talk to. Are you a model or an idol who wants to debut? If I become your mistress, I can make you famous very q
Primrose did not quite understand what Joel meant, but before he could ask again, Joel suddenly approaches, leaning his head on Primrose's shoulder, and whispered. "There's no one else here; do you want to do something with me that shouldn't be done in crowded places?" Joel's seductive words made Primrose dumbfounded, then she suddenly felt Joel's warm lips gently kissing Primrose's bare shoulder; she was numb as if an electric current had passed. Without waiting for Primrose to respond, Joel kissed Primrose on the lips, drawing her into infatuation. "Without saying yes, I'll start." By the time she was caught up in the passionate kiss, Primrose's mind was completely blank, and she was only able to dreamily feel Joel's warm breath. What happened after that was not clear; she only knew that until she wanted to stop crying, Joel still ignored it and continued, gently kissing Primrose's ear. "Hold on a little Primrose; it's almost over." So, it wasn't until dawn that Primrose coul
"I didn't expect you to be so clever. Don't people on the outside say that you're a laid-back person? Have you changed?"After Primrose finished eating, she leaned back and casually wiped her mouth, smiling at Joel seductively. Joel also ignored this provocation and very calmly nodded, following Primrose to continue."The rumors are not believable. Moreover, I do it all for my wife. Whether you are touched is the most important thing."Primrose pretended not to hear, turned to go upstairs to get her bag, and then went to the office. Recently, the company started a new project; the work is also more than usual, and she does not have too much time to chat with Joel anymore.Joel saw Primrose in a hurry, not too concerned about him, and obediently kept his mouth shut, quietly driving to Primrose's company as usual. It wasn't until Primrose got out of the car, about to turn around and go straight, that he spoke up."No goodbye kiss, not even a hello, heartless woman?"Joel's voice is both
Primrose's voice was somewhat hoarse, and he was also tired and had no strength. When Lela saw Primrose awake, she put down the apple and knife in her hand, softly reminding her."You've been working so hard; you haven't eaten enough meals, so your blood pressure has dropped and you've fainted; now you're in the hospital."Then, as if understanding Primrose's thoughts, she continued."There is no need to worry about the meeting. After you faint, the meeting will continue as usual, but someone will help you record the meeting report and important things to remember. Now all you need to do is eat all these foods and rest well."Lela helps Primrose open the cans of food, ranging from tender rib porridge to Primrose's favorite beef burger, full of unique flavors. Lela also carefully placed the peeled apples on the plate, one arm crossed to watch Primrose eat."Hurry up and don't get cold; these are all department managers who are afraid that you're not eating enough, so they ask colleague
This is also something that always scares Joel, because he feels that whenever Primrose is free to leave, even without saying goodbye to him.Primrose saw Joel's cold attitude and firm face and was now only confused as to what to do. Anyway, in their relationship, Joel was always the one who gave in and never got angry, so now that he no longer kept his temper, Primrose began to panic."Sorry, it's not that I take our relationships lightly, but when I wake up, I'm already lying on the hospital bed with a colleague by my side. At that time, my state was also stable, so I thought it was not a big deal; there was no need to inform you anymore."Of course, Joel couldn't bear to be cold to Primrose for too long; even more, he couldn't get angry with Primrose. Seeing this reserved and worried attitude, Primrose could only sigh. Assuming he wasn't strong enough, he didn't want to keep questioning Primrose to confuse her even more, especially since she had just returned from the hospital."Ok
After turning off the lights, the senses became even more clear, making Primrose clearly feel the existence of Joel next to him when his scent lingered on the tip of his nose and the sound of his breathing was even. Perhaps because she had just woken up, Primrose was no longer too sleepy, but afraid of disturbing Joel, she just lay still, obediently placing her hands on her stomach.After a while, still not feeling sleepy at all, Primrose turned gently. At this moment, the right person next to him quickly grabbed Primrose's wrist and turned, smoothly pressing on her."Can't sleep?"Joel's voice in the night seemed to be exaggerated in volume; the low bass sound transmitted to Primrose's ears was indescribably seductive, making her blush. Primrose nodded sheepishly, moving his hand to escape. Joel drew closer and teased."I can't sleep either; do you want to exercise with me before going to bed to sleep better later?"Of course, Primrose understood that Joel was trying to tease him, bu
Primrose really didn't want to talk to someone as stubborn as Jamie; the impulsiveness and stubbornness in every word made her mood gradually worsen. Ever since Cris broke up with Jamie, she'd come to Primrose's side and say such nonsense.Primrose just felt disgusted."Also, now I don't fail like before. I was accepted to be the head of the strategy department at company X; I don't need to mention my reputation anymore, right?""You and I won't be on the same level in the future, hmm."Jamie seemed to remember something, speaking arrogantly. After all, among them, very few people choose to start a business, but they often go to do what they like for a few years and then inherit the family company. Jamie wanted to work for a big and famous company before taking over her father's company, which is understandable.But when Primrose heard the name of company X, it was a bit funny; isn't that Joel's company? It seems that the fate between her and Jamie is always very magical."Yeah, you a
After having dinner with Nancy, Primrose returned home comfortably as usual. At this time, Joel has not returned; she is sitting on the sofa watching TV series as usual, continuing to watch a movie that has been very hot recently.In a typical love drama between a rich director and a beautiful and poor secretary, the two overcome the age gap and family background to be together. Even in the midst of difficulties and objections from their families, the two still held strong hands to overcome everything.The plot is not too special; what attracts viewers to these films is the cast with high beauty values. For example, the main male character has an outstandingly handsome appearance, is 1m85 tall, has a deep and seductive voice, and has eight-pack abs. This alone is enough to make many girls determined to follow the sequence from beginning to end of this movie, including Primrose. Looking at handsome boys has always been her favorite thing to do.So when Joel returned, he found Primrose
In the familiar tone and warmth that radiated from Joel's hands, Primrose quietly watched the video being played on the large screen. It was a video of her and Joel's love story, starting from the day they got married after their crazy first encounter.Primrose didn't know how Joel had compiled and edited them into this video, but everything felt incredibly genuine. From their initial excitement and awkwardness on their wedding day to the gentle kiss they shared, it all felt real.The video shifted as the two of them moved in together. Primrose saw herself and Joel sitting at the same dinner table; there was no communication between them, not even a glance exchanged. It was a bit amusing.Throughout, Joel kept his head tilted, watching Primrose closely and observing every expression on her face. He witnessed Primrose's emotions as she looked back on their past. By this point, the video continued playing, showcasing the gradual bonding between Joel and Primrose. Amid the soothing piano
Time passed calmly in the afternoon; at least while working, Joel didn't play any mischievous tricks or surprise Primrose with sudden kisses. She was comfortable and didn't need to be cautious anymore. She spent the afternoon leisurely, wearing AirPods and watching TV shows, and then returned home with Joel.Initially, Primrose had some difficulty adjusting to this unusually comfortable life, but it quickly became a habit. She was entirely satisfied with her current job and Joel's attentive care for her.After returning from the company, instead of cooking as usual, Joel ruffled Primrose's hair and mentioned that they would dine out tonight. Occasionally, Joel would book a table at some famous restaurant for dinner, so Primrose didn't question it. She obediently went upstairs to freshen up and change.When she emerged in an intricately designed white dress, Primrose slowly smoothed her hair and smiled sweetly at Joel."How do I look? Do I resemble the most beautiful woman in the world
Since boarding the plane, Primrose has remained cautious of Joel as usual, maintaining an extremely cold and distant attitude and not uttering a word to him. Joel had grown accustomed to the silence and indifference, so he didn't dare disturb her, sitting up straight with his back against the seat.After a while, Primrose began to feel drowsy and quickly leaned back against the airplane seat, falling asleep. Joel made sure to carefully place a thin blanket over her to keep her warm before closing his eyes to rest as well. Waking up early had left their bodies tired and sleepy.A few hours later, as Joel drifted into sleep, he felt a slight weight on his shoulder and a sweet fragrance wafting around his nose. He turned his head to look, and his gaze became even more tender as he saw that Primrose had rested her head on his shoulder and was sound asleep.Her smooth white face had a faint rosy hue, her nose gently rising and falling with each breath, and her eyes were closed beautifully.
When Primrose spotted Nancy ahead, she let out a relieved breath, enthusiastically skipping over to grab Nancy's hand. Nancy was somewhat surprised by Primrose's overly excited reaction, staring at her for a moment to search for any unusual expressions. Unable to resist, she asked,"Why are you suddenly so happy to see me? It's quite rare."Hearing this somewhat teasing remark that caught her off guard, Primrose pretended not to understand and tugged Nancy along ahead. Of course, she couldn't share the recent events with Nancy; otherwise, Nancy would offer advice that wasn't really suitable for their age and would only make Primrose more embarrassed when facing Joel.The four of them arrived at the restaurant together, falling into the habit of couples sitting side by side. Primrose was still sulking about the earlier incident with Joel, so when he pulled out a chair for her, she merely let out a cold huff before sitting down slowly, intentionally avoiding looking at Joel even once. J
Joel walked quietly, and Primrose followed, leaning her head against Joel's broad shoulder. Neither of them spoke, but both could vaguely sense the gentle heartbeat of the other.A sweet, elusive sensation enveloped the space, making the sun-drenched journey feel warmer and gentler.By the time Joel carried Primrose back to the hotel, she still remained in a dreamy state, not fully escaping that unfamiliar emotion. Joel carefully carried Primrose into the bathroom and helped her wash her feet. The cool water slowly awakened Primrose as it trickled down. She lifted her head to look at Joel, their gazes meeting tenderly, filled with unexplainable emotions."Take a shower, sweetie. I'll wait for you."Joel lightly kissed Primrose's forehead and left. She mechanically picked up her clothes and entered the bathroom. The warm water enveloped her, dissipating the haziness within her, yet Primrose remained absentminded, thinking about the warm words Joel had spoken earlier.The sincerity of h
Upon returning to the hotel, the first thing Primrose did was slump onto the large bed, sighing continuously."If I had known that going out would make me this tired, I wouldn't have invited everyone for a cruise."After a few hours on the cruise ship and a lunch break earlier, Primrose's energy had been depleted, leaving her too tired to even sit up. Joel smiled, gently using a makeup remover pad to clean Primrose's face and remove her makeup carefully, then affectionately wiping her nose with a tissue."Alright, stop complaining. Change your clothes and take a nap. We'll go for a beach walk this afternoon.""If you're really exhausted, I don't mind helping you change clothes."Joel raised an eyebrow and winked mischievously, successfully making Primrose slightly flustered as she sat up, rushing to the bathroom with her clothes. She quickly changed into a comfortable set of pajamas and once again lay down on the bed, feeling the softness of the mattress and blankets."Can I sleep at
In the days after returning to work, Primrose had a lot of free time and planned the upcoming trip with Nancy for the two of them and their boyfriends. Although it had been mentioned before, and furthermore, Brian and Joel had never had an official meeting, Primrose and Nancy were both eager to push for this trip.Regarding the planning, since Primrose was currently the freest person in the company, she did most of the work. This ranged from choosing suitable places to visit to selecting a hotel. Concerning Primrose's choices, the others had no objections, so on a beautiful weekend morning, all four of them set off to Country A together.Joel carried luggage for both Primrose and quietly followed behind, while Primrose cheerfully carried her handbag ahead. She excitedly held Nancy's hand, who was being helped with her suitcase by Brian, strolling and enjoying the city's scenery.The two men glanced at each other and chuckled softly, suddenly feeling camaraderie.After arriving at the
When Primrose woke up for the second time, it was already quite late. She blinked a few times to fully wake up, then looked around the room. Perhaps by this time, Joel was in the kitchen cooking, so she also got up leisurely, folded the blanket, and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After that, Primrose put on her pajamas and went downstairs to find Joel yawning and tousling her slightly messy hair."Awake now, sweetie? Did you sleep well?"Since he had heard the faint footsteps from the stairs, Joel knew that Primrose was awake. He took off his apron and hung them neatly, then approached to help Primrose adjust her slightly messy hair before pulling out a chair for her to sit at the dining table."Are you ready for breakfast? I'll get it for you."Primrose was still not fully awake from her dream, her gaze flickering lazily. Water droplets from washing her face still glistened on her fair complexion, but Joel carefully wiped them away before bringing her breakfast.As requeste
Indeed, the next day, Primrose's condition had improved significantly, and her temperature had returned to normal. When she woke up, she mentioned to Joel that she wanted to go to the company, but it was evident that Joel didn't agree.Despite that, Primrose was still feeling weak, so she decided to rest for another day to fully recover. Furthermore, the company was under Joel's ownership now, so she didn't need to exert herself unnecessarily.Finally, Primrose lay on the bed, casting a frustrated and resigned glance at Joel, leaving him feeling somewhat bewildered about how to respond. After a momentary internal struggle, Joel gently stroked her soft hair, now lightly scented with the fragrance of lavender."Alright, fine. I'm concerned about you, so I don't want you to go to the company and tire yourself out. It's only seven in the morning, get some more sleep."Since her request had been denied, Primrose didn't want to show a favorable expression towards Joel, so she turned her hea
