Zara's proclamation made Kelsey speechless.In her past life, Zara was indeed Tyler's fiancée.However, Zara later betrayed Tyler for money.Regardless, she had certainly been engaged to Tyler.Upon noting Kelsey’s silence, Zara grew bolder.She warned her severely, “Give up on your stupid ideas. If you ever try anything with my man again, it won’t end well for you….”Smack!Before Zara could finish threatening her, Kelsey retorted by delivering a slap across her face.Zara was flabbergasted.Her eyes widened like giant pearls. She stared at Kelsey for several seconds.She could not believe that Kelsey would have the guts to attack her in public!“You and Tyler are not even properly married yet and there has been no proper engagement. Who are you to call him your man?”Kelsey sneered with condescension. “You have no right to lecture me!”Besides, she was no mistress!In her previous life, the reason Zara even managed to get with Tyler was because Kelsey had conscientiousl
Kelsey could not be bothered with such a pointless trifle.She still had to bring the lunch she made to Tyler and had no time to dilly-dally in the lobby.She turned around and prepared to leave.However, a security guard who worked in the building stopped her.“Don't think about running away, I've called the police!”Kelsey was taken aback.She did not expect them to escalate it to the authorities.When Zara hit her, they all crowded around to spectate.As soon as she retaliated, they condemned her and called the police.On second thought, she decided it was fine. Go ahead and call the police!Either way, she was not the one who started it.Once the police showed up, Zara would be held just as much accountable as she was.That was when a cold and solemn voice suddenly rang across the scene without warning. “Why are you calling the police?”Everyone froze with shock.Then, they turned to locate the source of the voice.It was none other than Tyler himself. He wore a rela
She must be a fool.She could not believe she ever thought that Tyler would be different from Cooper.That he truly loved her.She had spent the last few days toiling away in the kitchen so she could learn to cook and to impress him.However, he had already changed his mind about her in such a short span.Perhaps she was the one who had been mistaken.Just because Tyler had loved her in her past life, it did not mean he would do the same in this lifetime.Nobody would continue obsessing over someone who would not reciprocate their feelings.Perhaps he had already given up.Even if they slept together, even if she was willing to change for him and start afresh.All that meant nothing, she could no longer win him back.The pain was searing.She felt a stinging sensation at the base of her nose and had the urge to cry.Soon, warm tears began to roll out of her eyes.She sniffed and tried to save herself from the humiliation of crying in public.With that, she left the lobby
He hissed bitterly in her ears.Every time he told himself that he was going to draw a line with her, she would appear again and give him false hope.Again and again!He had lost count of how many times this had happened.Right after he slept with her, she went running back into Cooper’s arms.Why did she show up at the Lang Group Headquarters to see him today?Had she not had enough toying with his feelings?“I…” Kelsey stared at his grave expression and found herself caught in a daze.What did he mean that she had been tormenting him?He was the one who had abandoned her after their night together. It was him who continued his ambiguous relationship with Zara.How could he accuse her of tormenting him?The rain continued to beat on both of them.Countless cars glided past them, kicking up furious gusts of wind that sent scattered leaves billowing in all directions.Several more cars had to jerk to an emergency stop to avoid colliding with them.Instead of waiting for a
He took Kelsey straight into the lounge of his office.The first thing he did was to take off her drenched clothes.Then, he took her into the bathroom and turned on the shower.“I can do it myself!”Kelsey blushed and shrieked upon realizing that Tyler wanted to help her shower.Tyler handed her the shower head with a deep, profound look in his eyes. “I’ll wait for you outside.”After hastily taking a hot shower, Kelsey walked out of the bathroom.Tyler's towering figure was perched right in front of the window. He had a cigarette pinned between his lips.The smoke wafting from his cigarette made him seem especially mysterious.Kelsey was taken aback by the sight.Tyler never smoked unless he was in a foul mood.Did that mean he was in a bad mood now?As soon as he noticed Kelsey’s presence, he quickly stubbed out the cigarette and turned to her.She was wrapped in a white bath towel.After freshening up, she seemed as enchanting as always.A strange look flashed across
After returning to his office, Tyler sat down on the chair and lit another cigarette for himself.There was a dark, wandering look in his eyes. He was lost in thought.Then, Shawn knocked on the door and stepped into the office. He was startled to see Tyler smoking a cigarette.His heart dropped for a moment and wondered if Tyler had another argument with Ms. Young.He had always been a savvy man who could handle all sorts of complicated situations thrown at him.It was rare to see him being so troubled to the point of resorting to smoking.He only ever got depressed when he went through something drastic involving Kelsey.“Boss.”After he composed himself, he went to the desk and handed over a stack of documents. “I need you to sign these.”Tyler glanced at the pile of documents before grumbling, “Okay.”Shawn was going to tell him something about Zara but seeing that he was in a sullen mood, he knew better and stayed silent....Meanwhile, Kelsey had been sleeping the ent
Tyler gently touched Kelsey’s forehead and sighed with relief.“Your temperature has gone down.”Kelsey smiled tenderly. “Yeah.”Tyler fixed a solemn look at her. “What brought you here anyway?”The last time they met was a week ago when they slept together.He assumed just like previous times, she ended up getting back together with Cooper and was done with him entirely.Unexpectedly, here she was again.Kelsey blinked blankly. “I came to see you, what else?”A profound look glowed in Tyler’s eyes. “Why did you come to see me?”Perhaps she came here to tell him about her final decision.Kelsey smiled cheerily. “I came to give you…”Before she could mention that she was here to bring him lunch, Tyler’s phone suddenly rang.He picked it up immediately. “What is it?”It was his secretary, Candice. “Sir, the woman’s shirt you instructed me to buy is here. Would you like me to bring it inside?”“Okay,” Tyler answered curtly.Soon, they heard a gentle knock on the door.Upon
Upon registering the thought, she cried out, “Let go of me!”Tyler looked darkly at her. “Why, what’s wrong?”Why was she so against being wrapped in his arms?Kelsey whimpered, “I need to get changed.”Since Tyler had ordered someone to deliver new clothes for her, she figured she could change out of his clothes.Besides, his shirt was the only layer she was wearing and she was wrapped in his arms.The thin fabric of the shirt was the only thing separating their skin from touching.They were so close that she could clearly feel his body temperature and the thump of his heartbeat…Unexpectedly, instead of releasing her, Tyler carried her in his arms.“What are you doing?” she shrieked.“Time to eat!”Tyler declared stoutly.With that, he carried Kelsey to the premium leather couch in another section of his office.Then, he took several insulated containers set on the table and proceeded to open them. Soon, a full-course meal was unraveled on the table.He had ordered them
