Shona moved her lips but no words came out."Laura, where's Chris?" asked Linda."He's on a business trip and hasn't returned yet.""Doesn't that mean you'll be all alone tonight? Stay for dinner and keep me company. Saves you having to cook dinner at home yourself."Laura gave it some thought and nodded in agreement.Meanwhile, in another city.Chris had just finished taking care of a project and just had time to look at the phone.He opened WhatsApp and subconsciously looked at the chat window pinned at the top of his screen, but there weren't any new messages."Mr. Jacobs, we must have a meal together in the future if we get the chance." One of Chris's business partners walked out of the building and towards Chris. He then reached out to shake Chris's hand."I was going to treat you to a meal today, Mr. Jacobs. My wife rang me a couple of times saying that it's our son's birthday today. She wants me to head home and celebrate my son's birthday. I do apologize."Chris force
Laura widened her eyes in shock. It was obvious that she didn't expect Chris to kiss her."Can't you concentrate on the kiss? Close your eyes."As punishment, Chris bit Laura's lips lightly.This caused Laura to immediately feel embarrassed. She reached out and pushed Chris away angrily."What are you doing?"There was anger in Laura's eyes.She felt that Chris was dating M and now he was kissing her."Chris, you like M and there's nothing I can do about that. Our marriage was just an agreement and we don't have anything to do with each other. We'll get a divorce when the time is up, but can you keep your distance from me during this period of time? I'm not a toy that you kiss whenever you want."Laura was really mad.In terms of relationships, she had always wanted to be clean.Chris lowered his head and looked at Laura. When he heard the words "divorce" from Laura, his eyes darkened.He reached out to hold Laura's hand. She wanted to break free but couldn't."Let go!""N
Meanwhile, on the bed in a hotel room. Mike was wondering where she would get a fake girlfriend from. He suddenly began sneezing non-stop.He reached out to rub his nose in confusion."Who's talking about me behind my back?"After the misunderstanding was solved, Laura finally felt relieved.She realized that the two of them were still at the door, so she quickly changed her shoes and was about to head inside the house. Chris stopped her."You still haven't answered my question, young lady.""What question?" Laura gave Chris a puzzled look.Chris leaned in towards Laura and his face was still as handsome as ever."Were you jealous, young lady?"Laura coughed slightly and said, "No. Why would I be jealous because of such a small thing?"Chris didn't believe her.He then began caressing Laura's hair. "I've already told you that you'll be punished for your lies."Laura remembered what just happened and couldn't help but blush.Chris looked like he was in a very good mood. He
At that moment, Chris opened the bedroom door and walked inside."You're awake?""Yep." Laura nodded and decided not to sleep in.It seemed that Chris really liked to pat Laura on the head. He walked over and patted Laura on the head again. "I've made breakfast. It's on the table. I need to head off to my office in a bit.""Okay." Laura nodded.Ever since the misunderstanding was resolved, Laura had been in a good mood.After breakfast, Chris went to the door and changed his shoes. Laura walked over and passed him a lunchbox."I've prepared some fruit for you in here. You can have some when you have time."Chris took the lunchbox. "Thank you, honey." he didn't leave after saying those words.Laura gave him a puzzled look. That was when Chris reached out and pointed to his own face.Laura immediately understood what Chris meant and felt a little embarrassed."Honey..." Chris put on a pitiful look.Laura went on her tiptoes and kissed Chris on the cheeks."Off you go."Ch
Nicole walked into the Jacobs Group.She had previously worked at the Jacobs Group, so the receptionist recognized her. When the receptionist saw Nicole walking in, she was slightly taken aback.Nicole smiled and passed her business card over. "I'm the representative from the Jacobs Group. I'm here today to discuss something with your CEO. Please make the arrangements for me, thank you."The receptionist was surprised. She then took the business card for a closer look.Nicole was very satisfied with the look on the receptionist's face. Her lips curved from ear to ear. "I worked here in the past because I wanted to gain some experience. Now, I've returned to my own company."Deep down, the receptionist felt Nicole was a very lucky girl. She then said, "Miss Wayne, please wait on the sofa. I'll go and ask Mr. Jacobs."Nicole nodded. "Okay. I'll wait for you here. You can give him a call and ask."The receptionist quickly made a call. She talked to the person on the phone for a whi
"Sure!"The smile on Nicole's face made Mr. Leech's heart race."Then I'll see you out, Miss Wayne."Mr. Leech walked over and when he came close to Nicole, his body "accidentally" came in contact with Nicole's.Nicole felt Mr. Leech's body, but because she still needed Mr. Leech to do her a favor, she forced herself to calm down.Mr. Leech saw Nicole out of the building and watched as she got into her car. He waved at her with a smile and his voice sounded like he was unwilling to let Nicole leave. "Miss Wayne, you are welcome to visit us more often.""Thank you, Mr. Leech." Nicole nodded.After Nicole got into the car, the smile on her face disappeared."Disgusting!" she cursed and took out a piece of tissue to wipe her hand.'If it weren't for Laura, I wouldn't need to ask that disgusting man for a favor! This is all Laura's fault! I'll make her pay for all of this!" Nicole exclaimed inwardly.At the entrance of the Jacobs Group's entrance. Mr. Leech only looked away after
Mr. Leech smiled and said sarcastically, "Call the police? Would you dare? If you do that, then you'll be going against the whole Jacobs Group. You know the Jacobs Group, right? Do you think you can offend the Jacobs Group?"Mr. Leech took a whiff of the cigarette and puffed the smoke on Shannon's face. He then threw the cigarette end on the ground and stepped on it.Shannon began coughing because of the smoke."From today onwards, you will no longer be renting this store. If you know your place, you'd better get lost. Otherwise, the Jacobs Group will make sure that you can't survive in this city!"Since Mr. Leech dared to hire men to wreck the store, then he obviously wouldn't be worried about anything.He felt that no one would dare to go against the Jacobs Group."Laura..." Shannon stood beside Laura and didn't know what to do.'That guy's so mean. He not only got people to wreck our store, but also threatened us!' Shannon exclaimed inwardly."Did Nicole tell you to do this?
Mr. Leech walked over to Chris with a smile on his face, but Chris grabbed his tie forcefully."How dare you?" Chris had a dark face and was looking at Mr. Leech with a pair of cold eyes. The atmosphere in the room was really tense.Mr. Leech had never seen Chris like this and was completely dumbfounded."Mr... Mr. Jacobs... have I done something wrong?"Mr. Leech's legs were trembling and he couldn't even talk properly."Were you the one who wrecked the convenience store downstairs?" Chris's voice was dangerous.Mr. Leech didn't notice anything wrong and nodded his head honestly. "Yes... The owner of the convenience store has taken Miss Wayne's business and the Jacobs Group is her business partner, so I thought I'd do her a favor... Mr. Jacobs, have I done something wrong? Have I not done enough? Do you want me to beat the owner of the store up for Miss Wayne? If that's so, I'll be on it right now. I've long wanted to teach the two girls a lesson..."Before Mr. Leech could fini
