“Of course, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you always can ask me about it,” Jeremy Quest added.“Alright,” Xyla Quest said.“Have a look at the stuff inside this document holder and sign it… Once you sign it, the company and all my shares belong to you…” Jeremy said.After saying that, Jeremy picked up a white document folder on the coffee table and handed it over to Xyla.Xyla took the document folder and carefully went through its contents. Apart from a share transfer contract, there were also other messy documents inside.Without going through the contents in detail, Xyla directly picked up a black pen and signed her name on each document.When Jeremy saw that Xyla was signing the final document, he let out a long sigh of relief as if he had been released from a great burden. “Awesome… After fighting hard for the greater half of my life, I can finally retire now.”Xyla quickly signed her name on the last document before handing it over to Jeremy. “From now on, I’ll
The massive formation and loud voices made Xyla Quest appear even more shocked.After being stunned for a second, Xyla finally became calm again. She looked at everyone and smiled. “Thank you, everyone… Alright, let’s get back to work… I’ll buy everyone dinner tonight. Managers from each department, make the necessary arrangements and claim your expenses from me afterward…”“Thank you, President!” All the employees shouted in unison.“You’re welcome. I hope everyone will work hard with me from now on to make the company better… Alright, everyone, let’s all get back to work.” Even when she faced up to ten thousand employees, she was still calm and composed.After saying that, Xyla quickly walked into the elevator…Her bodyguards followed close behind her.She took her private elevator to the president’s office…After pushing through the door, the world inside still looked the same as before, clean and tidy.This office was twice as big as her original office. The view was also m
When Xyla Quest smiled, her intricate face looked unusually gentle.She was fairy-like and beautiful.Knock, knock, knock—Right then, someone knocked on the door.Xyla slowly shifted her gaze to the door. There wasn’t any emotion in her eyes. “Please come in…”Soon, the door opened.A beautiful lady wearing a high-waisted skirt and a white shirt walked in…The beautiful lady had short, black hair. She also had very intricate makeup. There was a look of confidence in her eyes.This was Jeremy Quest’s assistant, Narda Verula.Narda’s capability was even more exceptional than her looks. Xyla knew this better than anyone else.All these years, with Narda by her father’s side, many impossible things were executed perfectly without fault.Everyone in the company acknowledged this person’s capabilities. Narda was the most capable woman aside from Xyla.“Ms. Verula.” Xyla smiled as she stood up and looked at Narda.Narda smiled slightly with her red lips before walking up to Xyla
When a random stranger touched Georgie Clementine’s shoulder, she had an annoyed expression on her face. “Who are you?”As soon as the rich blonde guy saw Georgie’s face from the front, he was a little stunned…He found her familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he met her before…“Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?” the rich blond guy asked.Georgie’s frown deepened. “Can’t you think of a better pick-up line?”The man in front of Georgie was wearing branded clothes from head to toe. He reeked of alcohol, and he had a flamboyant expression on his face. Georgie could immediately tell that he was a womanizer who was up to no good.She couldn’t be bothered to speak with him.As soon as Georgie looked up, she saw Henry Armstrong with a dark expression on his face as he walked over to them.Meanwhile, there was a large group of young men wearing branded clothes behind him.Georgie didn’t think she’d bump into Henry here coincidentally.Before Georgie could speak, Henry directly
When the rich blond guy saw this scene unfold, his petrified state worsened. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.Meanwhile, the group of rich guys behind them appeared to be in the same state.None of them could believe their eyes.Georgie Clementine directly rolled her eyes at them. “I’m not going to speak nonsense with you. I’ve had too much to drink. I’m going home.”However, Henry Armstrong didn’t seem intent on letting her leave. “A girl like you shouldn’t drink so much next time, understood?” Henry kept tugging at her sleeve as he reminded her.“Sometimes, when discussing stuff about work, drinking alcohol is necessary…” Georgie said blandly. “Anyway, I know myself well.”“Can’t you just tell me what business you’re up to? As long as you say it, I can get it done for you in any minute…” Henry said.“You’re not significant to me. I won’t tell you…” Georgie said.After that, Georgie turned around and left.However, Henry directly reached out and pulled her back to him bef
Since realizing his deep love for Georgie Clementine, Henry Armstrong hadn’t touched another girl.It had been a long time since he’d had sex. He found it awful.Now, because her hair was ruffling against him, his heart was beating even more wildly.However, Henry didn’t dare to show anything. He could only force himself to suppress his desire as he continued to hold Georgie.Georgie struggled to push him away, and she continued trying to step forward.However, after taking a few steps, her legs started to feel weak again…She fell into Henry’s arms again.With Georgie’s warm and soft body in his arms, Henry’s heart went completely chaotic. The temperature of the blood flowing in his veins seemed to be skyrocketing.He felt as if he would soon be engulfed.In the next second, Henry could feel his heart pounding rapidly.At this moment, it felt as if he was a young kid who was experiencing love for the first time. He was nervous, and his blood was boiling!Each time he faced
Seeing how determined Henry Armstrong was, Georgie Clementine didn’t continue resisting anymore.She knew Henry very well. Although he used to be playful and liked fooling around, he was a man of principle. He’d never take advantage of another person while they were weak.Hence, Georgie wasn’t worried about this at all…Soon, Henry quickly got into the car from the other side. He sat next to her and called for a taxi on his phone.When the rich guys outside saw such a scene, they all knowingly left…As soon as Henry got into the car, the stench of alcohol grew ever stronger inside.The mixed scents from both their bodies made Georgie feel extremely horrible…Her head was spinning even more severely.Soon, Georgie unknowingly fell asleep…***When Georgie opened her eyes the following day, a luxurious, baroque-style room came into sight.The primary colors in the room were gray and white. It looked very classy and elegant.Seeing the unfamiliar environment before her, Georgi
As the intense pain spread through Henry Armstrong, he felt horrible in his entire body.He subconsciously took a step back and placed both hands in front of him while he looked sadly at Georgie Clementine. “Honey, what are you doing? Why are you treating me like this?”However, in the next second, he came to his senses.“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? If you didn’t touch me, why does my waist hurt so much?” Georgie was mad for no reason.Was he refusing to admit what he did?Was he too much of a coward to admit it?Seeing Georgie like this instantly made Henry feel tickled…Did an aching waist mean he touched her? Why did she not have any common sense?Could she not have experienced these things at all?When Henry thought of this, his good impression toward Georgie started improving even more.There weren’t many ladies like her these days.“You shameless man. I’m warning you. Just because you had sex with me doesn’t mean you can get me.“I initially wanted to giv
Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft
“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while
Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e
Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif
Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o
Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.
A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired
Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes
Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
