Wendy supported Jessica from behind and asked, "Ms. Hall, are you all right?" Jessica shook her head and said, "I am still sober. I'll go to the restroom to wash my face." Wendy said, "I'll go with you." Jessica turned back to look at Wendy and smiled, saying, "Thanks. I can go to the restroom by myself. Go call a chauffeur." Since both Jessica and Wendy drank wine, they could not drive. Seeing Jessica was doing fine except for occasional unsteadiness when walking, Wendy did not insist on accompanying Jessica to the restroom. Wendy nodded and said, "Okay. I'll call a chauffeur." "OK," Jessica answered. Jessica looked up at the sign and walked step by step to the restroom in her high heels. This wine had such a strong effect. Fortunately, the restroom was not far away. The waitress told Jessica to turn around the corner and the restroom would be there. "I'm sorry." Jessica bumped into someone on the corner. She immediately became much more clear—headed. Jessica loo
Terry raised his eyebrows slightly and took a deep look at Jessica without asking anything. Seeing that Jessica wasn't in a good mood, Wendy couldn't help but walk to her side. "Miss Hall, are you feeling unwell?" Hearing her words, Jessica withdrew her thoughts and shook her head. "No." Jessica caught a glimpse of Terry and smiled. "Mr. Davison, are you also waiting for your driver?" Terry looked at Jessica's almond—shaped eyes, and his brown eyes lit up. "I'm staying by your side." Jessica laughed, "I didn't expect that you would have such a hobby." Terry looked at her with a faint smile. "My hobby is you, Miss Hall. You should know that." Jessica looked at him and withdrew her smile without answering. At this time, the driver had arrived. Jessica glanced at Terry and said, "Mr. Davison, I'm going home." As she spoke, she walked to the back seat of the car and got in the car. Wendy watched as Jessica's car slowly drove away before she got into her own car and l
Jessica glanced at Terry. "Do you think I'm silly?" "Let me take a look." With that, he approached her. Jessica subconsciously leaned back. She didn't feel pain in the back of her head, which was different from what she had expected. Terry grabbed the back of her head. She bumped into his palm, and it was soft. At a close distance, Terry's brown eyes lost their usual indifference and smile. When he stared at her, his eyes were full of love. Just as Jessica was about to push him away, Terry had withdrawn his hand. "You are indeed a little silly." He sneered, "Is Lucas better than me?" Jessica liked Lucas, but she didn't like him. Jessica couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "He is more loyal than you." Although Lucas didn't love Jessica, Lucas was indeed a loyal person who loved Trissy with all his heart. It had only been half a year and he could not wait to bring Trissy back to the country. Lucas was deep in love with Trissy. Jessica smiled, and her e
"Are you surprised?" Terry raised his eyebrows and showed Jessica the takeaway warm milk. "You won't let me drink with you in the middle of the night, and you won't let me make you coffee in the morning either. Maybe we can have a midnight snack." Jessica was already hungry, and as soon as she lowered her head, she smelled the aroma of milk. She wanted to refuse, but her stomach growled and betrayed her. The sound gave the answer on her behalf. This was the first time Jessica felt so embarrassed. "Thank you," she said. If she insisted on saying no, she was being ungrateful. As she spoke, she moved sideways to let Terry in. However, Terry just put the milk on the porch beside him and said, "Drink it and sleep early." Then he paused and his brown eyes smiled. "Good night, my future girlfriend." With that, Terry waved her goodbye, then turned around and walked off into the corridor. Jessica was a little surprised. She watched until Terry disappeared around the corner.
Jessica started the car and drove to the Hall Group. At nine o'clock when she arrived, the meeting room was already stuffed. Jessica walked in her high heels and pushed the door open. Megan looked up at her with an unhappy expression and said, "Jessica is here. Let's begin." Jessica did not mind it. She was indeed late no matter what excuses she may have. Today's topic was the compensation for Spring Valley Village. Jessica was in charge of the project last night, and everyone could imagine the outcome. Although the negotiations didn't fail, the two representatives did not look very good when they left. That's why Megan picked on Jessica early in the morning. Jessica was never a pushover. As soon as Megan finished speaking with a cold face, she immediately said, "Mr. Bell, what you said is wrong. I have read the details of the compensation. For the sake of the amusement park, it is indeed not easy to avoid them for the project. "But early in February, the headquarters
Morgan laughed, "You should live Hannah's life. I'm not too old to earn money yet." Jessica snorted, "But I like to earn money." Jessica was not lying. When she was young, Morgan was afraid that she would be kidnapped, so the family of three lived in an ordinary house. In the eyes of her classmates, Jessica and her family were ordinary. Although Jessica had a lot of money when she was young, she did not earn it herself. Moreover, it was very strange for a girl coming from an ordinary family to have so much money. Later, to take it as a matter of course, she sold roses in the winter and summer vacation to earn money. She was beautiful and persuasive. Every night, she could sell dozens of roses. When she was in junior high school, she asked her uncle to send her a lot of beautiful clothes from New York. After school on Friday, she would set up a stall on the street near the school. At that time, Hannah had been following her, and the two managed to earn tens of thousan
The man, dressed in a suit, was about forty or fifty years old. But as a man of his age, he was still of proportional built. The watch on his wrist was a classic and limited model of Vacheron Constantin. There were only ten worldwide, and it was priced at more than 1 million dollars. Olivia said in disgust, "I don't know him. Maybe he is Jessica's sugar daddy. Jessica is rich now. She just said that 400,000 meant nothing to her..." "Does your brother know about it?" Trissy's words reminded Olivia of something. She fished out her phone quickly to take a few photos. "My brother doesn't know yet. I will tell him now!" Trissy averted her gaze onto Olivia and frowned slightly. "But Lucas divorced her. Your brother probably doesn't want to know about it." After that, Trissy added, "After all, Jessica was once Lucas' wife. It's better not to spread this out. Let's keep it a secret. If somebody else knows about it, it will disgrace her and the Thomas family too." Olivia though
Jessica sat up and drew back the curtains. The sky was not bright yet, and a tinge of light orange could be seen on the horizon. Jessica narrowed her eyes slightly and grabbed a sweater and put it on. Then, she wore a pair of soft, fluffy slippers and shuffled into the bathroom. After that, she turned on the speakerphone. "Many Instagram users have uploaded photos of us when we went out for dinner last night. In these picture, you and uncle Hall are holding hands. The people we met yesterday were none other than Olivia and Trissy. It's either Olivia or Trissy who took these photos." Jessica was brushing her teeth and didn't have time to respond. She just gave a vague answer. Hannah was just an onlooker in the beginning. She did not expect such a funny gossip about them early in the morning. The screenshots were sent to Hannah by Mona. Both of them were all killing themselves laughing. The person who spread the rumor that Jessica was kept by her father was a "talent". "Do
The Howell family and the Hawthorne family had been neighbors for so many years. When Hannah was just born, Georgia said that Kendall's mother would come to the Howell family every day, saying that she just wanted to have a daughter.Later, as she grew up a little, Kendall's mom would always mention how envious she was of Georgia for having a daughter like her.As she grew older, she even mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, about having her and Kendall become doll siblings.However, Georgia did not agree and has always been refusing.Ever since Kendall's parents divorced, Hannah hasn't seen Kendall's mom much.I didn't expect that this time, Kendall's mom would call her directly.The person on the phone seemed to have changed, as soon as they spoke, they asked her if Kendall was with her.Hannah didn't feel anything was wrong at first, and politely explained that she was on a business trip.No sooner had she finished speaking than the woman on the other end of the phone sudde
It was a dinner party in the evening, and Hannah returned to her hotel room after 9 o'clock at night.At tonight's dinner party, she was offered quite a few drinks, even though it was just red wine with a moderate alcohol content. However, Hannah hasn't really been drinking for over half a year.At that moment, the person returned to the hotel room and didn't feel like taking a shower. They collapsed on the sofa and just wanted to sleep.Sophia worried about her and, not knowing where she got it from, made her a cup of honey water."Ms. Howell, drink some honey water slowly."Hannah squinted her eyes and looked at Sophia, then smiled and said, "Sophia, was I great today?""Yes, yes, Ms. Howell performed really well today!"Sophia had been Hannah's secretary for almost three years, so she knew Hannah quite well.During this period, Hannah suddenly made great progress, which surprised everyone in their company.Sophia knew that Hannah had a childlike personality, and she had been praisi
The train arrived at four o'clock, and Hannah and Hollis got off the train only to find that it was already dark. Both of them were momentarily stunned and asked, "Did we miss our stop?"How did it get dark around four o'clock?The wind blowing over was especially cold, and Hannah's face felt like it had been scraped by a knife. She looked at the weather forecast on her phone and said, "There will be a heavy rain today. I need to hurry, or else I'll have to spend the night at this Train Station!""It was quite cold today!"Hollis straightened his clothes and said, "Let's hurry up and go!"The two of them dragged their suitcases and walked outside. It was difficult to hail a taxi in this weather, but luckily there was a subway.Hollis had no plans to look for a job and followed Hannah back to the villa.The two of them came out of the subway station, and the rain had already stopped.Hannah took a taxi half an hour in advance, so she didn't have to wait for long.With such heavy rain,
LA in November became completely cold, Hannah made an appointment with Hollis to go to the hot springs.Hollis recently became unemployed as well, with nothing to do all day, he went to look for Hannah.Two idle people gathered together, always thinking about how to have fun every day.Hannah booked a villa just for her and Hollis. The villa had a hot spring, so they didn't have to go to a public hot spring pool to soak."Hey, I heard that Kendall was going to get engaged to that Sabrina Novak. Do you know about this?"Hannah paused for a moment with her phone in hand and said, "I haven't heard.""Did Kendall look for you before?"Upon hearing Hollis' words, Hannah glanced at her and said, "Who's been feeding you nonsense again?""My younger brother, he said that one day he saw you with Kendall, and you two seemed quite close. He originally wanted to go up and say hello to you, but then he thought it would be better not to.""Drake had a bad look in his eyes, how could the word 'intim
All of her belongings from her student days are inside the miscellaneous room at home. Georgia only allows people to organize them, but she has never thrown away any item.Hannah quickly found the gift that Kendall had given her back then. After nearly fifteen or sixteen years, the outer wrapping paper had become slightly worn.Hannah held the package and returned to the room. The adhesive tape had completely stuck the wrapping paper, and she couldn't open it, so she had to tear the wrapping paper directly.Underneath the wrapping paper, there was a gift box. She opened the box and inside, there was a bed of lavender. The first thing she saw was the postcard placed on top.Hannah raised an eyebrow, picked up the postcard, and turned it over to see the message Kendall had left for her.To say or not to say, Kendall's handwriting was quite nice.Hannah, there's something I've been hesitating about for a long time, but I feel like I should tell you. I don't even know when it started, but
That night, Kendall indeed did nothing. The two of them, rarely calm and peaceful, sat together, reminiscing about the things they had experienced in the past decade.Many things were brought up again, and Hannah realized that she had many misunderstandings about Kendall as well.For example, it was not Kendall who told Georgia about her failing mid-term exam, but Georgia went to school to bring her some snacks and casually asked about it.Back in college, the incident where Kendall switched the love letter she intended to confess with was because that senior was not a good person. Kendall knew that she wouldn't listen if she told her, so she took matters into her own hands.The two of them chatted until after three in the evening. Hannah didn't even know how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Kendall was already not in her villa.The mess on the desk has been tidied up, and everything on it is neatly arranged. Under her water cup, there is a takeout receipt, on which Kendall left
The box was just sitting there on the side, and Hannah found it to be in the way. She had just put on gloves to eat the crayfish, but she couldn't resist and took off one glove. Then she took the box and walked over to a shelf nearby, and stuffed the box into it.When she turned back, Kendall looked up at her.Hannah glanced at him and said, "What kind of look is that?""Did that box offend you?"Hannah sat back down and, as she put her gloves back on, she hummed, "If you keep asking, you will soon offend me.""OK, I didn't ask anymore."Hannah ate four or five crayfish and felt like something was missing. She looked at Kendall beside her and said, "Don't you think we're missing something?""What was missing?"Kendall handed her the peeled crayfish, and Hannah didn't hesitate to take it: "Beer, huh? Don't you drink beer when you eat barbecue?""There were a few cans of beer in the refrigerator, go and get them!"Hannah kicked him directly, Kendall took off his gloves, and got up slowl
Hannah started the car and returned to the villa, paying no attention to Kendall: "There are guest rooms on the first floor, don't come up to find me unless it's necessary."This was Kendall's second time coming to Hannah's place. Last time, Kendall didn't stay for long before being chased away by Hannah.This time, I came over...Wasn't it a little better, at least he got to sleep in a guest room on the first floor, right?Hannah finished speaking and went upstairs. Kendall didn't feel like guessing what idea he had in mind, and he didn't have the patience to play with him either.Since he was coming to stay over, she decided to give him a guest room, as there were plenty of rooms in her house.As for the rest, he can dream on!However, she thought well, but reality turned out to be somewhat contrary to her wishes.Hannah had just played two rounds of King of Glory by herself when Kendall's phone rang."What's up?""Were you playing King of Glory?""Yeah, do you have any opinions?""
Mona was not surprised at all. She only became acquainted with Hannah after junior high school, when she was young and naturally couldn't see the constant arguments between Hannah and Kendall.Later in high school, she also had a crush on Kendall, and when she saw what Kendall did to Hannah, she vaguely understood something.She remembered in her sophomore year, she even told Hannah that Kendall might like her.Hannah's reaction was very strong, telling her not to make such jokes, she couldn't handle it.Not long after, it was heard that Kendall had a girlfriend, and Mona even briefly doubted if she had sensed something wrong.Later on, Kendall went abroad after studying in her home country for only two years. After going abroad, she also vaguely heard from mutual friends in the circle that Kendall had a girlfriend again. Mona no longer mentioned Kendall's feelings for Hannah.Five years ago, Kendall came over to this side of LA to find Hannah. She was quite surprised because at that
