Felicity's lips curled slightly, revealing a sneer. "Your skills are mediocre. It'd be quite challenging to think about you unless I come across someone worse."Fred almost passed out from embarrassment after being mocked by the woman he liked. With a glum expression, he asked, "Are my skills that bad?"Fred wondered why the women he met before Felicity praised his skills. He contemplated if they wre simply flattering him."You're the worst I've encountered so far," Felicity said deliberately. The look of defeat on Fred's face amused her. In truth, he was Felicity's only man. So, Fred was both the best and the worst. There was nothing for her to compare.Fred's face turned red from embarrassment. After a while, he uttered, "Teach me, then. Help me improve my skills.""It'd be useless even if I teach you. Your physical condition is not up to par," answered Felicity.She added, "You need to work out to train your endurance and stamina." As Felicity spoke, she tilted her
Lucas did not even bother with superficial attempts to appease Shannon. Instead, he chose to confront her directly.Lucas waved and instructed, "Escort her out.""Yes, Mr. Yates," Bianca replied while gesturing politely.Shannon was enraged. She stomped her foot and angrily walked out.After exiting Lucas' office, Shannon turned around to glare at Bianca. Bianca smiled, wearing a triumphant expression."Take care, Ms. White."Shannon gritted her teeth in anger. "I'm warning you, don't get cocky. Luke pays attention to you only because you look a lot like Chelsey."But at the end of the day, you're not her. You can never replace her."Bianca remained unfazed as she gently responded, "I'll stay by Mr. Yates' side as long as he needs me. When he no longer does, I'll leave on my own. I won't cause any trouble for him."Bianca's gentle demeanor was a stark contrast to Shannon's overbearing attitude. Shannon was exasperated. Ever since she injured her hand, her temper had
"Is that so? Do you like me?" Lucas asked, staring at the face that bore a striking resemblance to Chelsey.How he wished he could hear those words from Chelsey.Unfortunately, it seemed like Lucas would never have the chance in this lifetime. He had hurt Chelsey too profoundly. So she would never harbor any feelings for him again.Bianca nodded shyly. "Yes, I like you."Lucas composed himself. He might mistake Bianca for Chelsey otherwise."Got it. You may leave now," Lucas said emotionlessly."Mr. Yates…"Bianca did not expect him to be so indifferent. She could not help but wonder why Lucas hired her as his personal assistant if he was not interested in her.She also wanted to understand why he brought her to banquets.Bianca walked out of Lucas' office, feeling dejected. Initially, she approached Lucas to complete the mission her boss assigned her. But now, Bianca was becoming increasingly intrigued by Lucas.She even started contemplating ways to keep him alive
After Chelsey reprimanded her, Shannon stopped laughing. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. "Do I look ugly now?" asked Shannon.Chelsey answered, "You're not looking too good. Shannon, men aren't everything. We should just be ourselves."We must live a better life after leaving them. Instead of fighting for his affection, why not focus on building your career?"Although your hands are injured and you can no longer play the cello, there are plenty else that you can do. "You've got a great figure. You're gorgeous and famous. You can be an actress, you know."Chelsey's compliment made Shannon cry even harder. "Chelsey, are you concerned about me? I've done so many things to hurt you in the past. Why do you care about me?"Chelsey sighed before saying, "You were indeed detestable. But now, you're pitiful. "You're not yourself anymore. I repeatedly remind myself not to become the second Shannon when I see you like this. "I can't give up on my career. I need to earn mon
Shortly after, Zach received a call from the bank manager. "Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Fisher. There's a Ms. Jenson here, and she wants to cash your check at our bank. Are you aware of this?"Zach replied, "Yes, I know about it. How much is she cashing?""100 million dollars, sir.""Alright, give it to her."The bank manager said, "Yes, Mr. Fisher."Zach smiled as he put down his phone. At first, he thought Chelsey would not cash too much. He had not expected that she would cash 100 million dollars.Nevertheless, the amount was insignificant to Zach."As long as she's happy," he mused.Lia, too, did not expect to get the money so easily.She had wanted cash, but 100 million dollars in cash was too much.The bank did not have that much on hand, either.Hence, they could only deposit it into her account.After getting the money, Lia's first move was to buy something from Hermès. She spent 100 thousand dollars in one go and immediately received a platinum bag featuring
Chelsey was not wearing any jewelry pieces. On the other hand, Jason had a diamond cufflink and a diamond tie clip.However, among the sea of jewelers, the duo appeared somewhat plain. Chelsey found a corner to stand. She was ready to admire all the top-notch jewelry in a few moments. It was rumored that a huge 300-carat diamond would be exhibited today, and the owner wanted to sell it that night.Chelsey was interested in that massive diamond.Even if she could not buy it, she wanted to examine it and broaden her horizons.Fortunately, she attended the jewelry exchange event as Jason's assistant. The moment they entered the venue, jewelers around the world surrounded Jason.Meanwhile, Chelsey could enjoy the fruits and pastries served there.The dessert spread was of good quality, and the petit fours were incredibly delicious.With a mouthful of mousse cake and a bite of tiramisu, Chelsey could not stop eating.Once she was full, she drank some freshly squeezed fruit j
The other wealthy women nodded in agreement."Yes, I can see that she's a freeloader. She has been eating non-stop, and I haven't seen her with anyone," one of them remarked.Another woman chimed in, "Get security to kick her out. Every attendee of this jewelry exchange event is a distinguished individual. We can't just let anyone in. Otherwise, something might go missing."After saying that, the affluent women called for security. Suddenly, Chelsey felt that her fruits were no longer appetizing. Despite her plain outfit, Chelsey couldn't believe they'd say she looked like a waitress.They even accused her of theft. Chelsey thought they were being ridiculous.The security guards arrived in no time. They politely asked if Chelsey had an invitation. Chelsey answered, "I don't have an invitation, but I—"Before she could finish speaking, the security guards were dragging her out.Chelsey resisted, yelling, "Let me go! I'm here with my boss!" The women who were observing t
In a flash, Chelsey pulled up her shirt.She glared at Lucas and scolded, "Are you out of your mind? This is the ladies' restroom. Why did you come in?"Lucas' handsome face had a subtle blush as he confidently replied, "You've been in here for so long. I was worried, so I came in to check on you."Chelsey frowned when she heard his explanation."Didn't you just say you don't know me? Why did you come looking for me? Just continue pretending we're strangers!" she retorted."Sorry."Lucas pursed his lips, hesitating to say more. "You're crazy! Get out!"Chelsey extended her hands to push Lucas out. However, he strode into the stall and embraced her tightly.Lucas really missed Chelsey. Thoughts of her filled his mind every waking moment.Chelsey found it difficult to breathe as Lucas held her too tightly."Let me go! Let go!" she demanded while pounding her fists on Lucas' chest.Lucas then whispered, "Give me one more month. I'll come to Westine to find you and Collie.
