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
After Zack's wife found out about the relationship between Jasmine and Zack last time and made a fuss out of it, Zack broke up with Jasmine. Jasmine wasn't someone who could be pushed around easily either. She had good looks and, a good figure and she knew what men wanted as well. Since she could seduce Zack, she would be able to seduce other men as well.Jasmine had recently become the girlfriend of a son of an affluent family. It was said that the guy was from a powerful family. His uncle was the chief of police. The most important thing was that her boyfriend was good friends with the second son of the Jacobs family.That was why Jasmine dared to bring men to wreck Laura's convenience store.The police soon arrived. When Jasmine saw the person at the front, her eyes lit up. She waved her hand at the men she had brought to tell them to stop what they were doing. the convenience store was already in a complete mess.Laura and Shannon walked over to the police and described wha
Laura and Shannon were brought to the police station and locked up in two separate interrogation rooms.The room was dark and there was a chair and a surveillance camera inside and nothing else.Such a room was normally used to interrogate criminals of major crimes.The dark and empty environment was used to make the criminal feel terrified.For a problem like Jasmine bringing men to wreck Laura's store, all the police needed to do was to ask Laura to make a record of what happened and then look at the surveillance footage. There was no need at all to lock them in a place like this. Not to mention that they had locked Laura and Shannon in separate rooms as well.Laura pursed her lips and forced herself to calm down.She could guess what was happening. Jasmine had probably got to know someone high up in the police station. the current situation was that she didn't have her phone and there was no way of contacting the outside world. All Laura could hope for was that someone would
Not knowing how long had passed. Laura slowly opened her eyes.Her throat was a little dry. Her surroundings were still dark.She stood up from the chair and used the wall to help her to walk to the door in the dark. She reached out and tried to twist the handle. As expected, the door was locked."I know you're watching me." Laura sounded very calm. "I don't know who's behind Jasmine, but I won't let you off so easily once I get out."The police officer who was in the surveillance room heard what Laura said and then reported it to the chief of police.The chief of police held a coffee cup in his hand and his lips curved into a disdainful smile. "Won't let us off so easily? Interesting. She's just a store manager, what's she going to do?"The police officer moved his lips and said hesitantly, "Mr. Johnson, should we give her some food and water? The person in the other seems to be having a mental breakdown.""Don't worry. They're fine." Mr. Johnson put the coffee cup in his hand
