To pay for her brother's medical bills, Elizabeth Hubbard became tycoon Ronald Marquez's paid booty call. After collecting enough money, she left, trying to bury the shameful past. Two years later, however, he showed up at the hotel where she worked as a manager. She was forced to be his personal butler, catering to his every need. Again and again, he lent a hand when she needed help the most. Before she knew it, she was captivated by his charm.
View MoreAfter Shirley finished drinking the ginger soup, she laid on the bed, but for some reason, she could not fall asleep no matter how she tossed and turned.Outside the window, the rain gradually lessened. Occasionally, a few drops would be hit by the wind, but no sound would be produced.During her chat with Danica today, she found out quite a lot about him.She now knew the reason why he hadn't returned to the country in four years.She hadn't thought that after she was saved by him that year, he would not only be shot, but would also be in so much trouble.The problem had not been resolved until today, and he could be in danger of losing his life at any moment now.When she thought back to how he had caused Asher to lose everything and directly let him find someone to take his life, she couldn't help but admire his abilities.He always had the means to provoke people and put himself in danger.When she thought about the gamblin
Shirley knew that Danica would not give up until she got an accurate answer from her tonight.But how could she describe to her the past between her and Zackary?"I'm not lying to you, your brother and I...We did know each other before, but not for long..." She thought for a moment before replying."Then do you like my brother?" Danica saw that her words did not seem to be fake, and asked again."En... This ..."Shirley herself had yet to figure out what kind of emotion she had towards Zackary."With such hesitation, it looks like you like him." Danica answered for her.Hearing that, Shirley hurriedly shook her head, "No ... No, I don't know him at all. How could I like him?""Who says you have to like someone after know him? Don't you know that love at first sight? I like someone just by seeing him once. You and my brother have met many times already, right? Like is one kind of feeling, which is ..."Danica said as she racked her
"Get in the car." His tone was commanding, not allowing her to resist at all. The hand holding her wrist was also very strong, making it impossible for her to break free.Pulling her to the secondary driving seat, he released her and opened the car door. She was involuntarily pushed into the car by him.Her entire body was completely drenched, and the rain instantly drenched the seat.Zackary turned around and walked to the side of Driver. He put away the umbrella, and threw it in the back seat, then sat on the Driver himself.Zackary started the car and drove forward. She looked at him coldly and with a face full of displeasure, and said, "What are you doing? I don't need you to send me off.""Is that so?" he asked quietly."Yes, stop the car and let me go." Shirley didn't even fasten her seatbelt as she shouted directly.However, Zackary ignored her and focused on driving."Did you hear me tell you to stop the car? Who do you
Shirley followed Zackary out of the villa and they walked along the main road.At that time, no one said a word. Occasionally, the buzz of insects could be heard; it was extremely quiet."Today's weather is really good." After an unknown period of time, Shirley felt that this quiet atmosphere was simply too strange, so she started to say something.As soon as she finished speaking, it started to drizzle."Looks like you like rain." Zackary looked at her, amused.Under the dim yellow light, his face was covered by a layer of hazy mist. His sharp blade-like facial features had also softened quite a bit. In addition to the smile in the depths of his eyes, he looked increasingly handsome and charming.This time, she felt awkward. The gods were not giving her face, and they just slapped her in the face every now and then.Shirley wanted to bite off her tongue for a moment."There's a pavilion ahead. Take shelter from the rain." Zack
What did that mean?Did he do something wicked outside again?Or had he killed someone again?With that thought in mind, she immediately shook her head and told herself, no. Although Zackary looked very fierce, he was definitely not the type of person who would do whatever he wanted and disregard human life.Didn't Danica say that before?That time when he saved her, it was his first time killing someone.Clearly, he was not a murderous demon lord.She had already misunderstood him once, so she couldn't misunderstand him again."Never mind, you don't want to tell me, and I'm too lazy to ask." She pretended not to mind as she shrugged. She turned her head to look outside the window again to ease the slight disappointment in her heart.Actually, deep down, she still wanted to understand a bit more about Zackary.She didn't know why, but even though she knew he was dangerous, she couldn't help but want to investigate
Ronald nodded his head, "However, it seems that Asher did not lose willingly."So you came to be his bodyguard? He can order people around. "On one hand, Shirley admired Zackary's intelligence and on the other hand, she was slightly contemptuous of his methods.If he wants to buy a company from someone else, isn't he going to do it openly? It had to be a hostile takeover."I came to see your boyfriend." Ronald said with a half-joking and half-serious tone."...Not a real boyfriend." Shirley was a little speechless. Zackary really had a big mouth, selling her out the moment he opened his mouth."What's going on?" Ronald naturally did not believe that this girl would find a boyfriend without a word, and did not let him know either.Thus, Shirley told Ronald about what happened between her and Teagan.After Ronald heard this, he muttered to himself for a moment, "So, you believe that he simply wants to cooperate with you?""Believ
Zackary probably did not expect to see Shirley here, as his deep eyes slightly narrowed. "So it's Ms. Pollard. Are you interested in wine, too?""No, I came over with a friend to take a look." Shirley replied."A friend?" Zackary seemed to be very interested in her friend, as he revealed a playful expression."It's a boyfriend." Teagan saw that the expression in Zackary's eyes when he looked at Shirley was a little strange.Shirley was suddenly embraced by him like this. She felt a little uncomfortable and was about to struggle, but then she realized that everyone was looking at them and that she was currently his girlfriend. She did not push him away, but had an awkward smile instead."So Ms. Pollard is looking for a boyfriend. Congratulations." His smile and words of congratulations seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.But when Shirley heard it, she felt that it was a bit ear-piercing."Thank you, Mr. Rowe. Since you are Shi
In the evening, Teagan came to Pollard family to pick Shirley up. Mrs. Pollard was very happy and her originally depressed and unhappy face finally revealed a smile.Shirley changed into a set of normal small clothes and went downstairs. When Teagan saw this, he asked, "Don't you have any lively clothes?""Lively?" Shirley was startled, and then looked at Teagan's clothes, which was not an official suit, but a casual attire. She was a little curious, "Isn't it a royal ball?""It's a royal ball, but it's not suitable for business parties. You don't need to dress up so formally. You can wear whatever you like or the comfortable ones." Teagan said.After Shirley heard this, she immediately turned around and went upstairs. She changed into a jacket and jeans, carrying a small backpack, with her hair tied up neatly in a ponytail.Teagan sized her up, his eyes full of praise."Beautiful!" As he said that, he turned and bid farewell to Mrs. Pollard
Pollard Group.Inside Office of the President, Shirley Pollard had just finished her morning's work and was preparing to go out for lunch.Secretary Lorena Lopez walked in with a bunch of fresh flowers in her hands. She smiled widely and said, "Ms. Pollard, Mr. Solis has sent you flowers again."Shirley looked at the bouquet of fiery red roses, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I already told him not to send me off. Why wouldn't he listen?""Looks like Mr. Solis really likes you, Ms. Pollard, and that's why he chased after you like this and was unwilling to give up." Lorena said, covering her mouth as she laughed, "Then why don't you accept these flowers?""Put it in the vase on your table. The next time he sends flowers over, just tell him that I'm allergic to flowers." Shirley shook her head speechlessly.Teagan Solis was the one she was forced to go date with by her mother. Only, she hadn't been able to find the time to go and meet hi
Inside the luxurious presidential suite, clothes were scattered all over the floor.The night was eerily quiet; only the sound of running water in the bathroom could be heard.Elizabeth Hubbard quietly lay on the bed, her clear black eyes fixed on the bathroom door. Her fists clenched beneath the quilt, creasing the bed sheets.With a creak, the bathroom door opened and a well-built man stepped out, the scent of shower gel lingering in the air.Ronald Marquez didn't even spare a glance at Elizabeth. Instead, he bent over to pick up the clothes on the floor. Then, he walked to the mirror and slowly put them on one by one."Sir..." Elizabeth called softly, her gaze fixed on his broad, muscular back."Um-hum," the man replied without turning, his voice indifferent."Th-this will be the last time. I'm able to cover my brother's medical expenses now," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, timidity written all over her face.Upon hearing that, Ronald paused for a moment, mid-motio...
