"Elizabeth, you even claimed that you and Mr. Marquez had nothing to do with each other. Don't you think that I have caught the evidence?" Dalia smiled mischievously as she waved the ear stud in her hand.Elizabeth was confused. What was going on?Why did her ear stud appear on Ronald's bedside table?Had she left it at the clubhouse last night?If that was the case, wouldn't Ronald know about their relationship last night?But that was not right. If he knew, why didn't he mention it at all?Or could it be that he was the same as her? He knew it in his heart, but in order to avoid trouble, he chose not to say it on purpose?"Elizabeth? Elizabeth?" Dalia saw that Elizabeth was deep in thought, but did not react. She waved her hand in front of her face, "What are you thinking?Elizabeth regained her senses, took the ear stud from Dalia's hands, and smiled unnatural as she said, "Don't think too much. I might lose it and Mr. Marquez picked it up. He didn't even have time to return it to
He laughed at himself and looked away. Just as he was about to drink water, a light flashed in his eyes.When he took a closer look, he realized that the ear stud that should have been lying quietly on his bedside table had been on Elizabeth's ears.At this time, he knew why Elizabeth was waiting for him to come back so late. She wanted to say something, but hesitated."It's getting late, go have a rest." He got up to go back to his room.Seeing that he was about to leave, Elizabeth was a little anxious. She had not yet asked him the question she wanted to ask him about, so how could she go to sleep?"Mr. Marquez..." she said.Ronald paused for a moment, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a trace of an undetectable smile. He turned his head, and looked at her with a doubtful expression, "Is there something?""Then...that ..." She hesitated, not knowing how to ask why the ear stud was in his room."The ear stud is very beautiful." He saw the embarrassment in her, so
After she got up and came to the living room, she only saw a middle-aged man standing in front of Oliver, bowing with his hands cupped in front, "Mr. Gardner, I beg you. Please speak nicely with Mr. Marquez, and let him be magnanimous. The family estate of the Floreses accumulated by two generations cannot just disappear like this...""Mr. Flores, if I were you, I wouldn't have come here at this time. Do you know the consequences of disturbing Mr. Marquez while he is resting?" Oliver crossed his legs and sat on the sofa, looking like he had not woken up yet."I know. I don't want to do this either. Isn't there really no other way? Because of this matter, my father is already in the hospital. I'm afraid that if I am unable to win Mr. Marquez's forgiveness, my father is ..."Oliver had no patience to listen to what was going to say. He turned his head, and just as he was thinking about how to deal with Mr. Flores, he saw Elizabeth standing at the door of the room. He immediately stood u
"Thank you, Mr. Marquez. No need, I have staff meal." Elizabeth answered with a clear and melodious voice."Is there anything fun about Swynwick?" He didn't insist. Instead, he leisurely picked up the cup of coffee in front of him, took a sip, and asked."Eh ... Mr. Marquez is asking about scenic spots?" Elizabeth asked in a daze."Yes." He nodded.Elizabeth lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she spoke while counting her fingers, "The Maplelake Park, the Dolphin Wharf, the Lunar Island, and the Natural Museum, these places are all said to be quite interesting.""Choose a place you like and accompany me to take a look." Ronald put down the cup in his hand and spoke out."Huh?" Elizabeth couldn't react for a moment."Why aren't you sitting down? If you go out in half an hour, I'm afraid you won't have the time to go to the cafeteria to eat your employees' meal." As Ronald said that, he picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth, then casually took a sandwich and sta
"We will go the Lunar Island." Ronald 's indifferent voice sounded, carrying an unquestionable tone."Eh ..." Wasn't she supposed to decide where they were going?Why did it change again?So what did he mean by letting her choose a place she liked?To avoid that place?Elizabeth pouted in disappointment."You don't want to go?" Although Ronald was looking straight ahead, he still felt her disappointment."No ...No, how could that be?" After all, you are the boss. Of course, everything was up to you."Then be happy.""..." Elizabeth silently cursed in her heart, but her face had actually revealed a brilliant fake smile.She could pretend to be happy.The car had been advancing forward for 20 minutes, the cold air from the air conditioner caused the temperature inside the car to drop to an extremely low level. Elizabeth, who was wearing a thin T-shirt and had her arms bare, could not bear the coldness.Her hands were tightly wrapped around her arms, and her body trembled from time to ti
"Are you afraid?" Ronald could see that she seemed to be somewhat resisting."No, no.""Let's go." As Ronald said this, he very naturally grabbed her hand and boarded the ship.His touch caused Elizabeth's face to instantly flush red, but she didn't dare to struggle and could only obediently let him hold her hand.Although she said that she wasn't afraid, she didn't dare to move her body after boarding the boat.The sea was rough and the yacht was fast. She had the illusion that the boat would capsize at any moment.Turning her head to look at the man beside her, she saw him standing against the wind. His hair was blown back, and his expression was calm and unperturbed. He didn't seem to have any misgivings at all.Suddenly, the boat turned and Elizabeth's body tilted to the right, her head lightly knocking against Ronald's shoulder."I'm sorry ... "I'm sorry..." She frowned and rubbed her forehead as she apologized. Her stomach was rolling, as if she was going to vomit at any moment.
Come on, you can't sleep anymore!As she warned herself, she fell asleep again.This time, she didn't sleep for a long time before she reached her destination.When Ronald woke her up, he was amused by her glowing cheeks and embarrassed look.As the boat approached the shore, there were a few people standing on the dock. Elizabeth thought that they were just tourists on the island and did not notice them.When they reached the shore, she saw that the 'tourists' were lined up in two rows. A middle-aged man came up and greeted Ronald, "Mr. Marquez, welcome.""Hello." Ronald nodded lightly. His tone was calm and alienated.The man then looked at Elizabeth. He smiled, "This lady looks very familiar. Have we met before?"Ronald turned his head to Elizabeth, asking with composure, "You know him?" Elizabeth shook her head lightly, "I don't think so.""Oh, I remember now. You look similar to that very popular female celebrity who I saw on TV." Then he led them get into the car, taking them to
"Stop. Who are they?" Ronald swept across the sofa, fixing his eyes on a temporarily built awning not far ahead finally.A few people were playing Texas poker, and a bunch of bikini beauties were waiting by them."The bald man sitting over there is the biggest contractor in the area, and beside him are officials of the municipal government and engineers from the designing institute. As for the old man over there, he is the chairman of Starryham International, our biggest competitor. Speaking of which, Starryham International invested a lot this time, and even the chairman himself had come personally. It looks like the Lunar Island is a highly profitable project. I was lucky to be able to catch up with this party, otherwise we might not miss the chance." Oliver explained as he led Ronald to the awning.Elizabeth knew that Ronald came here for work so she didn't dare to disturb him. Thus, she retreated to the side silently, found a cool place to sit and drank some coconut juice.When Ro
When his tie was finally tied, he looked at her with a condescending gaze. "Have you learned it?"How could Elizabeth be focus? Hearing him ask that, she just stood there, not knowing how to reply."Didn't? Then let's do it again." He was patient now, and was about to untie his tie.How could Elizabeth want to go through another ordeal like that? She immediately nodded. "Yes. I learned it."Ronald looked at her insincere expression, and after a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Ms. Hubbard is indeed very smart. I'll leave the matter of putting on my tie to you from now on.""..." What did that mean?Could it be that she would have to interact this way with him every morning in the future?Kill me!Ronald changed his clothes and went out to work, but Elizabeth sat on the balcony on the second floor, watching the video while painfully learning to wear ties.She knew that this was a problem that Ronald
Elizabeth had never ridden on the electric car in the villa area before. Today was her first time enjoying the services.In less than four to five minutes, she was sent to Ronald's villa.The room was silent. After entering the password, she went in. It was only half past seven.Half an hour was enough to prepare breakfast.Ronald had not woken up yet, so she went straight to the kitchen, opened the fridge and started to make breakfast using the ingredients inside.Previously, when Elizabeth had been his butler in the hotel, she had a better understanding of his appetite.So for breakfast, she made egg sandwich and freshly squeezed orange juice. She also made a small pot of crab meat porridge with several dishes of cold vegetables.In fact, she knew that Ronald was picky.However, she was not a professional chef after all. So she could only prepare a few dishes.At 8 o'clock sharp in the morning, Ronald came downstairs i
"..." She wanted nothing to do with him except work."It's an employee benefit."The meaning behind his words was that this wasn't a special favor.Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, he raised his eyebrows and he asked, "Or do you want to stay here?"Live here?No!Elizabeth instantly frowned, and tightened her grip on the key. "No, the apartment is fine."If she were to really live here, facing him day and night, it would instead be weird if she didn't go insane."Very well. The address is on the envelope. You have a day off today. Pack up your apartment and move your things in. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I hope, breakfast will be ready by the time I go downstairs." After Ronald finished speaking, without even looking at her, he turned and went upstairs.Elizabeth looked at the address on the envelope, then looked at the key in her hand, and sighed in her heart.Not surprisingly, there was no wa
Ronald raised his head and glanced at the black corridor in front of him.This type of old apartment was cheap and didn't have an elevator. They had to walk."Lead the way." Ronald said coldly.Elizabeth felt that she was a little out of breath climbing up, but on the other hand, she saw Ronald carrying a heavy load on his back did not change his expression at all.He was so healthy that it made people jealous and envious!Elizabeth thought angrily as she took out her key to open the door.Ronald wanted to help Alondra into the house, but Elizabeth stopped him. "Mr. Marquez, thank you. We can't serve Mr. Marquez anything. Good bye."After saying that, Elizabeth without even looking at Ronald's face, directly dragged Alondra into the house, and slammed the door shut.Destroy the bridge after crossing the river?This heartless little woman. Ronald smiled helplessly.Looking around, he frowned.Such a poor env
"What? You seem to care about me?" Ronald's face didn't have much expression, and his tone was also light.Hearing him say this, Shirley retracted the smile on her face and said somewhat guiltily, "Of course. If that Ms. Hubbard is really your lover, then the person you ought to marry is her. I cannot let you sacrifice your feelings for no reason in order to help me."As she spoke, she was filled with joy again. "Fortunately, she's just your housekeeper.""Silly girl." Ronald smiled bitterly."Promise me, if you ever have someone you like in the future, you must tell me. At that time, we will go and get a divorce." Shirley said as she looked at him sincerely.Ronald concentrated on driving, not replying to her."Of course, if I meet a guy I like, I'll also tell you. When the time comes, you can't let me fall in love with others!" Shirley calculated in her heart."Alright." Ronald finally answered.Alondra was still completely d
Elizabeth was in her early stages of pregnancy, so she did not have much of an appetite.However, she also knew that the more she vomited, the more she had to eat. Otherwise, how could her baby grow up without any nutrition at all? So she kept eating.After a while, the ladies seemed to have gotten a little drunk. Elizabeth was also full, so she reminded Alondra, "Alondra, I'm full. Don't drink so much.""Don't worry. I'm fine. I won't get drunk." Alondra waved, then suddenly looked towards the door and exclaimed, "Ms. Pollard?"As she shouted, everyone on the table also looked towards the door. Shirley walked in from the outside with a sweet and charming smile. "I was eating upstairs, and heard that you were gathering here. So I came over to take a look. Have I disturbed you?"The manager was the first to react. He immediately stood up. "Ms. Pollard, it is our honor for you to visit us. Please take a seat."Shirley waved. "No, thank you. I'
"Ms. Pollard is a pitiful person. Even though she is the only daughter of the Mr. Pollard, she can't inherit everything from him because she isn't a boy. In order to protect her father's fortune, Ms. Pollard has to get married. And the only person in this world that Mr. Pollard can trust is you, CEO. Moreover, there is still the marriage contract between the two of you. It's reasonable. Others cannot have any chance to criticize you.""When Mr. Pollard passes away, you will succeed in taking over the Pollard's group. And after Ms. Pollard starts to manage the group, the marriage will be annulled."Ronald listened to Oliver's laments silently as he looked at the kitchen.Three years, Elizabeth. Can you wait?Although Elizabeth had become his housekeeper, she did not plan to live in this villa anymore.In the evening, she prepared dinner. When Ronald and Oliver entered the dining hall, she was prepared to leave.Ronald sat down and took a look
"What did you say?" Ronald frowned. He probably did not expect Elizabeth to say this.Marry her?He hadn't thought about it, but he knew that he liked her."Do you think I'm having a pipe dream?" Elizabeth smiled, "That's right. I also know that my identity is not worthy to marry you. However, Ronald, since you don't intend to marry me, why did you come to me? Or do you think that for a woman like me, as long as you spend money to maintain me, it would be enough?""I can't marry you." His voice was deep and assured.At least, not now.Elizabeth nodded. "I knew.""Why don't you stay by my side? Other than the identity of the Mrs. Marquez, I can give you everything." It was the only compromise he could make, and he was trying to keep her."But what I need is that identity." She looked at him with tears in her eyes."Elizabeth, enough!" His patience had run out and his tone had hardened."The one who should be enough
She didn't want to be the center of attention, so she reached out to help Casey up. "Stand up first, and then we'll talk."Casey immediately revealed a happy smile, "You agree?""Get up. Hurry and get up." Elizabeth lowered her head, not wanting others to see her face.Casey stood up and returned to her seat. "Elizabeth, mother knows that you are a kind-hearted child. Don't worry. This time you forgive Ainsley. In the future, I will be the big contributor to the Dyer family. They will not dare to think of kicking me out. I'll take care of that girl for you."Elizabeth didn't want to hear about the matter between her and the Dyer family, so she stood up and said, "I'll be leaving first.Without waiting for Casey to stand up, she quickly walked out of the coffee shop.On the main street, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, scorching the earth.Although the hottest summer was over, the early autumn sunshine was enough to make people
