Haley tilted her head up, planting a gentle kiss on the corner of Shane's lips. "Is this enough?" Her eyes, almond-shaped and crystal-clear, were veiled with a delicate mist, capable of igniting desires deep within people's hearts.Shane's sexy Adam's apple bobbed as he smiled suddenly, his gaze dropping to her soft lips. He leaned down, pressing his lips against hers. To make her more comfortable, he held her slender waist, allowing her to sit atop him.With her arms around Shane's neck, bearing his kisses. His actions were not exactly gentle, but they sent shivers down her spine. By the end, she felt like she could hardly catch her breath.Shane released her lips, shifting positions to lie down beside her on the bed.Entwined in each other's arms, she could clearly feel his heartbeat and the restrained heaviness of his breath. Blushing from embarrassment, her cheeks were as red as blooming flowers, dazzling in their radiance.Finally managing to calm his desires, Shane sig
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Haley abruptly lifted her head. The man standing before her was tall and well-built, with deep, chiseled features. His eyes carried a faint smile, giving off a warm and comfortable vibe.William Ford? How could it be him?Seeing Haley's silence, the smile in William's eyes deepened. "What? You don't recognize me?"In the small meeting room, everyone exchanged curious glances, wondering about the relationship between Haley and the handsome man before them.Finally regaining her composure, Haley furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Mr. William, I remember you studied medicine. Why are you here applying for a designer position?"William remained composed, his slender fingers pointing to his resume. "Miss Haley, besides studying medicine in college, I also pursued fashion design. You can take a closer look at my resume."Feeling a bit embarrassed, Haley coughed lightly and quickly scanned through the document. Indeed, William had obtained a dual de
After the last interviewee left, it was already dark outside. Haley rubbed her sore neck and glanced at her phone, noticing several missed calls from Shane. Even without seeing them, she could sense his anxiety. Feeling a bit guilty, she quickly dialed back.The call was promptly answered, and a deep, husky voice sounded on the other end, "Haley?"There was no complaint, no anger. Just a calm and gentle tone that felt familiar yet distant. Haley's heart swelled with a strange feeling as she replied softly, "Um, Mr. Ford, I'm sorry. I've been busy all day, and my phone was on silent.""It's okay. Are you done? I'm outside your company."Haley's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed out, phone in hand. "Mr. Ford, just wait for me. I'll be right there."Shane's voice was calm, almost soothing. "Don't rush. I'm not going anywhere."In the elevator, Haley pressed the button for the ground floor, her eyes fixed on the changing display numbers."Mr. Ford, have you been waiting for me lo
Shane continued, "After my father passed away, my mother gave those mistresses and illegitimate children a sum of money, asking them never to appear in front of us again." Haley blinked in confusion, "Then why did William come back?" She had seen William's resume and knew he had gone abroad to study early on, only returning after graduation. Shane tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said, "Because William refused to accept that money. His mother wanted to take it, but he insisted that he carried the blood of the Ford family and vowed to return one day." Haley fell silent, unsure of what to say. She could sense Shane's melancholy mood at the moment. Opening up old wounds was never easy for anyone. After a moment's thought, she placed her hand over Shane's hand on the steering wheel and gently patted it, "It's all in the past. You and your mom will have a good life from now on." Shane clasped Haley's hand in return, giving her a smile. "I'm fine. Just reminiscing abo
"Sis-in-law, do you have any bias against me?""What?" Upon hearing William's words, Haley did not react immediately. William still had a faint smile on his lips as he continued, "Nothing, I just feel like you've been deliberately keeping your distance from me."Haley furrowed her brows slightly and replied, "You've been calling me sis-in-law. You should know I'm married, so I should keep my distance from other men."William did not expect this response at all. He stared at Haley for a moment and then leaned down, bringing his lips close to her ear, his breath lightly brushing against her skin. "My brother is really lucky to marry such a smart, beautiful, and faithful wife like you. I'm a bit jealous," he whispered.Haley took a step back, looking at him warily, her brows furrowed. "What are you trying to do? Have you forgotten that you're Jenny's boyfriend?"William raised his hand, adjusted his collar, and chuckled. "Yes, but you probably don't know. Actually, you were the fir
Haley shyly nodded, "Yes."Shane rubbed his ear, pretending not to hear clearly, "What? I didn't catch that, could you repeat it?"Knowing he was teasing her, Haley glared at him irritably, "Never mind, I said I'm going to sleep now. Do you have anything else to say?"Seeing the slightly ruffled look on her face through the camera, Shane's smile deepened. He decided to stop teasing her and coaxed in a soft voice, "My bad, wifey. Rest well. You don't need to hang up. I just want to watch over you like this."Haley settled back onto the sofa and pulled the blanket over herself. She then placed the phone aside, and slowly closed her eyes.Shane remained silent, watching Haley sleep for a long time. Her delicate features and sharply defined side-profile, along with her long eyelashes, stirred something in his heart.After a while, there was a knock on the door. Dean walked in, saying, "Mr. Ford, there's a banquet the day after tomorrow..."But as soon as he felt the icy stare, his w
Shane tugged slightly at his slightly open collar, revealing his delicate and sexy collarbone. He said meaningfully, "It would be rude to decline."This man...Haley glanced at him and saw the bite marks she had left on his collarbone last night. Her face flushed bright red as she hurriedly hung up the phone.On her way to a meeting, she ran into William again.William was wearing a white shirt, his hair perfectly groomed. He looked so dazzlingly handsome that it was hard to take your eyes off him. Many young women in the design department were excitedly covering their mouths, quietly squealing.From time to time, there were burning, adoring glances cast his way. Only Haley glanced at him briefly before quickly looking away as she felt that her husband was much more handsome than William!But to others, they had a deep admiration for Haley. They thought to themselves, "Miss Haley is really determined. Facing such a handsome guy like William, she can still remain unmoved."Mr
As she was about to leave work, Haley suddenly received a call from Jenny. "Haley, are you very busy? Are you adapting to the company? Is anyone giving you a hard time?"Hearing Jenny's voice full of worry and concern, Haley felt a warm feeling spread through her heart.She smiled and reassured her, "I'm doing great, don't worry about me. Think about who I am! I've easily managed to get everyone on my side and now I'm thriving."Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I was worried that with your gentle nature, you might get bullied.""I'm not the same Haley as before. Besides, this company is my mom's life's work. I can't just watch it get ruined by Joe."Jenny nodded and laughed. "I'm relieved to hear you say that."Haley laughed along. "How have you been lately? Did you know William started working at JY?"Jenny replied, "I know. He told me. He knows I've always been worried about you and volunteered to help. I was quite shocked at the time."She had never imagined th
