"I just got promoted, Laura.""Huh?"Laura couldn't believe that Liam asked her out just to tell her such news.Not only that, but the way that Liam was calling her name gave Laura goosebumps."I'll be working for the Jacobs Group in the future as an assistant to a senior executive. The pay's quite good and it's really close to where you work as well.""Liam, weren't you working at the research lab?" asked Laura.She didn't understand why Liam suddenly went to work at the Jacobs Group."The pay is nowhere near as much at the research lab." Liam smiled.However, the smile on his face looked disdainful.This caused Laura to be taken aback."I have mortgages to buy for. The salary that I get from the research lab is nowhere near enough for me. However, that's nothing to worry about now, Laura. Since I've started working for the Jacobs Group, my salary will double."An indifferent look appeared on Laura's face and her voice became indifferent as well. "Well, congratulations, Lia
Liam took out a ring from his pocket and held it in front of Laura."Laura, I've had feelings for you since university. Please be my girlfriend. I'll definitely treat you well in the future. I'll do the chores, give you all the money I earn and you can do whatever you want. I just want to be with you."Outside the restaurant. When Chris arrived, he was able to see what was happening through the window. His face immediately turned cold.Inside the restaurant. The passersby, who didn't know what was going on all cheered for Liam. "Marry him! Marry him!""Oh my god! I'm so jealous. The guy's so handsome and nice. He's even willing to do the chores around the house and hand over his salary. Even I'm touched.""Marry him! Marry him!"After hearing the voices of the people around them, Laura's face turned cold as well.Liam planned on using the crowd to force Laura to accept his proposal."Laura, marry me. I know you're a nice person. I've helped you out so much during university, yo
Laura gave the person a grateful look.The person who spoke was a teenage girl. After what she said, people in the crowd disliked Liam even more.Liam looked like he was going to collapse any minute. There was a foot mark on his shoulder where Chris had just kicked him."Let's go, Chris. Just ignore him." Laura gently pulled the hem of Chris's clothes. She then turned to Liam and said, "Liam, I think our friendship should end here."Laura didn't want to have anything to do with Liam in the future anymore.She had never expected that Liam would have feelings for her since university. Neither did she expect him to propose to her even after he found out that she was married.What happened tonight really shocked Laura. She had never expected something so ridiculous to happen to her."Okay." Chris knew what Laura meant.If had been in the past, he would have beaten the guy so hard that he wouldn't even be able to stand. However, Laura could forget what Liam had done for her in the p
When Chris woke up the following morning, he took out his sunglasses again."What? Didn't sleep well last night?"Looking at the dark circles around Chris's eyes, Laura cocked her brows.Chris reached out and massaged his temples before nodding his head.He suddenly wasn't able to fall asleep last night. This had never happened in the past.Chris secretly sized Laura up and down. She looked well-rested and very energetic. This made Chris a little unhappy. 'It seems that she slept quite well without being in the same room as me.'It was Sunday, so Laura didn't have to go to work. The house was getting a little dirty, so Laura decided to clean the house thoroughly.Chris saw what Laura was doing, so he went up and joined her.The flowers that were left on the balcony were already blossoming. Laura watered the plants and took a whiff of their scents.It was quite sunny today, so Laura washed all the blankets and hung them out under the sun.The house wasn't big and there weren't
When Mr. Leech saw Chris, he quickly walked up to him. "Mr. Jacobs, you're here."Chris nodded and walked into the meeting room. Mr. Leech stood where he was and looked at Liam's receding figure. Anger appeared on his face. 'This new assistant is really slow! Mr. Jacobs has already arrived! I'll definitely find a chance to fire him later in!'When Liam returned, the door to the meeting room was already closed. Mr. Leech stood outside and was waiting desperately.When he saw Liam return, he quickly walked over and took the file off Liam. "You need to be faster. You look quite young, but why are you so slow?"After saying those words, Mr. Leech didn't look at Liam again. He turned around, opened the door to the meeting room, and walked inside before closing them again.The door blocked Liam's view.This made Liam a little frustrated, but he knew his place. He had just started working in the Jacobs Group and didn't have any power. All he could do was obey orders.However, he was de
Laura was checking the accounts when she saw a figure storming into the convenience store from the outside.When she raised her head, she saw a familiar face.Laura's eyes darkened and she put down the calculator in her hand.Liam walked towards Laura menacingly. He reached out and pointed at her. "You deliberately embarrassed me yesterday, didn't you?"Laura didn't understand why Liam would suddenly show up in her store like this."I've never wanted to embarrass anyone," replied Laura."You didn't? Do you think I'm going to believe that?" Liam sneered. "That man's the assistant of the CEO of Jacobs Group. Why didn't you tell me?"If he had known the identity of the man, he wouldn't have been overjoyed by the fact that he got a job at the Jacobs Group. This meant that he also wouldn't have been laughed at by so many people.Laura felt that Liam was acting way too strangely."Why do I have to tell others my husband's job?" she asked."Laura, you're truly disgusting. To think I
"I saw you taking care of the gardenias yesterday. There was a lot of room left on the balcony. Only one pot of gardenia isn't enough, so I bought more."Chris felt that Laura would really like to grow flowers.Therefore, he especially went to the flower market in Empfield to buy these flowers for Laura.The flowers were picked by Chris himself and he wanted to give Laura a surprise.As for why... Chris wasn't even sure himself. He felt that it was probably because he didn't want the house to be too empty.Laura was taken by surprise as well. The bad mood that Liam had caused earlier in the day disappeared as well.She looked at all the different types of flowers in front of her and was overjoyed."You're the best, Chris." Laura didn't know how to express her gratitude. She walked up to Chris excitedly and gave him a big hug.An elegant scent filled Chris's nose. This caused him to be frozen on the spot.However, before he could react, the person in his arms backed away. Laura
Looking at Laura, hatred appeared in Jasmine's eyes."Let's start smashing! Smash everything that's in this bitch's store!" Jasmine waved her hand and the men behind her picked up sticks and rods and began smashing the shelves in the store.Shannon was dumbfounded by such a sight. When she came back to her senses, she shouted, "What are you doing? Stop! Stop it, all of you!"Laura and Jasmine did have a grudge against each other. Laura knew that Jasmine didn't like her, but Laura wouldn't do anything over the top.Laura didn't understand why Jasmine would suddenly do something like this today. Why would she bring so many people to wreck her store?"Stop it, Jasmine!" shouted Laura."You want me to stop? You're the one who offended me first!" Jasmine crossed her arms in front of her chest as she walked towards Laura. She looked at Laura's face with a hateful gaze."Were you the one who told Zack's wife about our relationship?"A while ago, Jasmine was Zack's mistress, but was be
