After Primrose returned with a face that was both shy and gentle, she couldn't escape the interrogation of her best friend, Nancy."Primrose, tell me, how did that bad guy deceive you and make you come back with this expression?" Nancy asked. As she looked at Primrose and Joel, she couldn't believe her eyes and raised her eyebrows in surprise. Primrose used to maintain an icy and distant attitude towards Joel, so how could she disappear for two hours and come back looking so excited, as if she were immersed in love?"He didn't deceive me; we misunderstood Joel and blamed him wrongly," Primrose replied with a dreamy look and a slight blush. She placed her handbag on the bed and then sat down, clearing her throat, before recounting the dramatic and emotional story to Nancy.In the beginning, Nancy looked down on Primrose and thought she had been deceived by Joel's sweet and deceitful words. However, by the end, even Nancy was left astonished."No way? Why is everything so complicated? S
Joel rested his head on Primrose's shoulder, his warm breath and the scent of him enveloping her delicate figure. Primrose trembled slightly, her mind still reeling, needing a little time to compose herself before gently pushing Joel away. "I don't miss you," Primrose said softly after their recent kiss, her voice sounding a bit more tender, which made Joel chuckle. He lightly ran his fingers through Primrose's hair, tucking back the strands that were tousled by their passionate kiss earlier, and whispered softly in her ear. "You miss me, huh, sweetie? But your husband really misses you. Why don't you miss me, such a heartless woman, hmm." This playful attitude was a stark contrast to Joel's cold and distant demeanor a moment ago, making Primrose amused yet exasperated. She quickly evaded Joel's embrace, crossing her arms and speaking firmly. "Wasn't the purpose to update me on the project? How come the serious CEO suddenly becomes so playful? Why don't you tell me about that" Pr
After going to a nearby restaurant with Joel, Primrose remained cautious as ever, glancing around carefully with a mixture of nervousness and anxiety. Her fidgety demeanor and worried expression made Joel feel like their relationship was akin to a secret affair. This peculiar feeling of excitement couldn't be contained, causing Joel to burst into laughter as he playfully pushed a plate of sliced beef toward Primrose."Don't worry, your husband isn't nearby. He's at the company working and can't come looking for you," he teased.Primrose took a bite of the beef, gave Joel a stern look, and puffed her cheeks. This man truly had no sense of decorum."Do you want to be my secretary? Even if you don't want to be the manager, you should still be my secretary so that I can see you every day," he said with a smirk."And furthermore, are you comfortable having another woman as my secretary? Aren't you worried she might charm me or concerned about our marriage?"The more Joel spoke, the more he
In the following days, Joel was like a constant shadow following Primrose, seemingly wanting to be by her side as much as possible. Every morning, he would stand waiting for Primrose outside Nancy's house, attentively preparing breakfast, and then he would accompany Primrose to work.At the company, he would often find excuses related to work matters to call Primrose into his office, propping his chin up and gazing at her while appearing to concentrate on his tasks.Just like now, Joel directly pulled Primrose to sit on his lap while he read the financial reports of the company. His warm breath gently brushed against Primrose's heated ear, and the intense warmth emanating from Joel's proximity made her blush."Can you behave a bit? Normal people don't work like this, you know?"Primrose struggled to stand up, but Joel caught her hand, gently laughing."My self-control isn't that great; you're better off staying seated. Otherwise, I don't know what I might do to you."After speaking, J
In the days following, Primrose's life as a leisurely and cheerful secretary continued. Every break was filled with enthusiastic conversations with her colleagues. Perhaps due to the absence of work-related stress, Primrose's state of mind was very positive, and her face often broke into a beautiful smile. She was so radiant that Nancy would occasionally tease her."Look at this; someone who's clearly immersed in love doesn't look ordinary. Now your face is full of words of happiness and contentment in love.""Has Joel taken care of you so well that you have no intention of returning? Come back to him, and I'll help you pack, haha. Don't worry about packing"After learning the truth, Nancy naturally didn't hold any resentment towards Joel anymore. She was a rational person, so from time to time, she kindly advised Joel to encourage Primrose to return home quickly. After all, misunderstandings had been cleared up, and there was no longer a third person involved in their marriage. Retur
In front of Nancy, Joel still presented himself as a refined and courteous man. But upon returning home and helping Primrose arrange her belongings in the main bedroom, he quickly approached her on the sofa in the living room and embraced her. "Primrose, I've put your things in the main bedroom. Can we share the same room?" Before Primrose moved out, they used to have separate rooms, and this arrangement didn't sit well with Joel. Now, taking advantage of Primrose's inattentiveness, he had subtly changed things to be closer to her. "Sure, but don't hold me too tight. I've told you before, loosen up a bit, and I'll suffocate." Primrose playfully patted Joel's shoulder, and every time he embraced her, he held her tightly and carefully as if fearing she would disappear any second. This mixture of haste and gentleness made Primrose both amused and frustrated. "Alright then, promise me you won't leave anymore. If anything comes up, let's sit down calmly and solve it together; don't mak
The next day, Primrose woke up in Joel's embrace. As soon as she opened her eyes, she met his gentle gaze, lost in admiration as he looked at her. Thinking about the events of the previous day, Primrose quickly regained her composure and pushed Joel aside with irritation."Why are you staring at me like that? Don't scare me early in the morning," she said with a hint of annoyance.Primrose got up and stretched, feeling a sudden twinge in her waist. She gently massaged her waist while casting a harsh look at Joel, who remained unfazed by her anger. With a tender touch, he helped her soothe her discomfort, apologizing."Are you still hurting? It's my fault, sweetie. I'm sorry."Joel's sincere and comfortable attitude disarmed Primrose's anger, and she could only roll her eyes at him, her icy demeanor unchanged. She lightly snorted, her attitude toward Joel still chilly."No need to care about it. I'm not that fragile."Joel deliberately misunderstood Primrose's intentions and playfully b
Seeing Primrose suddenly dumbfounded, Joel thought she was uncomfortable, so he gently touched Primrose's forehead. "Sweetie, are you upset? Why are you so dumbfounded?" Primrose quickly exited the memory, pretending to have nothing but shook her head, casually pointing forward. "Nothing. Since the cakes over there are so delicious, I want to taste them." Primrose's reasoning was very superficial, but Joel took it for granted, ended the conversation with the people around, and went with Primrose to the dessert table. This place has a wide variety of delicately decorated pastries and a few beautifully colored drinks, arranged both cleverly and luxuriously. Joel took a plate, chose some of the usual Primrose cakes, and gave it to her. "Next time you want to eat, just say, If you're shy, I can help you get it. Don't stare stupidly like that." Joel said it jokingly, making Primrose's ears red. She mechanically ate a piece of light pink cake, which is a moderately sweet strawberry ma
