Fearing that the effect of the sleeping pill would wear out soon, Kevin quickly went to pay the medical bills and collected the medicine. Then, they left the hospital to take Jenna home. After they got to Sandalwood Palace, they took the elevator to Jenna’s unit. It occurred to Kevin that he had carried Jenna several times today. He suddenly realized how light she was as if carrying a cushiony bolster pillow. One of Jenna’s arms was hooked around his neck and her head drooped downward. Her hair draped over her face and she was frowning. It looked like she did not feel very comfortable in her sleep. Her body reeked with the smell of medicine from the large amount of medicinal paste applied to her leg. Despite that, Kevin caught a hint of a rosy smell. It was not as noticeable as a real rose, but it was a charming scent that stirred something in him. He could feel the warmth of Jenna's fingers pressed against the back of his neck. Perhaps because she felt uncomfortab
Kevin felt a shiver run down his spine when he read the text. He had already informed Sam about him coming to Sandalwood Palace to take care of Jenna. Since he was with Jenna, why did Quinn still want to have someone spy on her? Kevin: [Boss, Jen suffered extensive burns on both legs, it's going to take longer for her to heal. The doctor instructed her to stay at home for a week.] Quinn: [Alright. Take care of her.] Meanwhile, at Elysian Group. After Quinn sent the text, he summoned Sam to his room. He ordered Sam, “Help Kevin and Jenna apply for leave.” “Understood.” Sam had entered the office with a set of breakfast. He placed the breakfast on the desk before informing, "I sent Miss Ivy back home this morning. She bought this and asked me to bring it to you.” Quinn glanced at the food and said blankly, “Get rid of it later.” “One more thing. Tell Jacob to find a qualified house doctor and have the doctor installed at Ivy’s place. Monitor her pregnancy and ma
At first, Jenna did not seem to care. Later on, she went to the living room and began opening them one after another. Kevin watched as Jenna pulled out a luxury handbag from one box, then a limited edition dress from another. She seemed ecstatic about receiving these gifts and quickly became obsessed with them. “Jen, could you have some dignity?” Kevin seemed upset on her behalf and said sharply, “If I had to guess, Boss is only sending these gifts to make up for what Ivy did to you. “Don’t you feel ashamed receiving these gifts from him?” Kevin had spent the last two days hacking into the surveillance cameras inside the Forester household. Finally, he discovered how Jenna received that burn on her leg. When he was going through the footage, he could see how much Old Madam Forester liked Jenna whenever she visited. Old Madam Forester would always put food on her plate during meals. There were no cameras inside the pantry so he could not see what happened inside there.
After Jenna fully recovered, she returned to work. She wore a light gray business suit.The dress was tight-waisted and paired with eight-centimeter-tall high heels. The outfit highlighted the beauty of her lean and slender legs. When she stepped into the department, her colleagues could not take their eyes off her legs. One of them said, "Jenna, I haven’t seen you in a few days. Is it just me or have your legs gotten prettier?” “They probably slimmed down because I’ve been walking a lot,” Jenna said with a quick smile. Then, she set down her bag and went into Miss Brown’s office. She knocked on the door before entering and approaching the desk. “Miss Brown, I'm familiar with the workflow now, do you have any task to assign to me?” “I know how capable you are, but you just came back from your break. Take it easy for now before diving back into work,” Miss Brown said with a smile. Previously, Sam had approached her in private to request leave for Jenna. After further
She walked down the corridor and stopped in front of the president’s office. Then, she knocked on the door. "Come in." A deep voice rang from the other side of the door. She stepped inside and looked into the room. A man was sitting behind a mahogany table. He wore a dark gray suit paired with a tie and looked very solemn. He had sharp facial features and a tight frown. Furthermore, his aura was grave… “President.” Jenna walked in and set the document on the table before remarking politely, “Here’s the document you asked for." Quinn did not even glance at the document but stared at Jenna instead. The table was not very tall and since Jenna was standing some distance away from the table, he had a full view of her from head to toe. She was wearing a black office outfit with a short skirt, exposing her slender legs. She had an indescribable, alluring charm that still maintained an air of professionalism. Upon sensing his silence, Jenna bowed faintly. "President, if
After one of Jenna’s colleagues finished reading the email, they slid over on the swivel chair and told her, “When the president wanted you to bring up the document to him, we thought it was because he had a crush on you…” “Was Mr. Forester only calling you up to lecture you? No wonder you looked upset when you came back." “Do I?” Jenna touched her face self-consciously. "Yeah.” The colleague nodded and asked curiously, "Mr. Forester always looks so gentle. Was he very angry when he lectured you?” When Jenna returned to the department, she was still wondering what sort of cover story she should give her colleagues to dissuade their gossip. Since the email managed to help take some heat off her, she decided to play along. With that, she sighed weakly and gestured. “You know how it went down.” Her colleagues went silent. The sudden intrusion of the email drastically changed the atmosphere inside the company. When Jenna went to the canteen for lunch, she was no l
At last, Aunt Lily relented and let Jenna take her to the airport. Even before Aunt Lily went into the boarding section, she was still holding onto Jenna's hand and repeatedly telling her to take care of herself. Tears were swelling in her eyes. "Miss, if you're ever in a bad mood, just call me and don’t do anything stupid.” "Yeah." Jenna nodded obligingly before gesturing with a smile. "Alright, Aunt Lily. Go on now.” “Alright,” Aunt Lily said reluctantly, entering the boarding section. By the time Jenna drove home from the airport, it was already past eight in the evening. When she drove past the entrance of the underground garage, the security guard informed her, "Miss, a gentleman is waiting for you in the lobby." Upon hearing this, her first thought was that Kevin must have forgotten his access card again. That was exactly what he had done the last two times he went out. Still, she was slightly puzzled. Kevin had lived here with her for a while now and the
Quinn felt a surge of rage burning inside him. Furthermore, he could smell the faint sweetness of the cake. He gulped before making his approach. Jenna was still devouring the cake when she suddenly felt a touch on her shoulder. She almost shrieked when she felt her balance thrown off. She was still holding onto the fork when she was carried into a sitting position on the table. "What’s wrong with…” She barely had time to catch her breath when she felt a hot sensation on her lips. Due to the relatively low height of the dining table, the man had to bend over. His palm was wrapped around Jenna’s face and he was hungrily kissing her lips. He licked all the cream from the corner of her mouth before forcefully prying her lips open and hooking the tips of his tongue with hers… He could taste everything Jenna ate from the sweetness of the cream to the fruitiness of the mango. As if that was not enough for him, he pressed his hand along her back and pulled her into him
