However, it didn't matter what position Chris was in. All Lena needed was that he was an employee of the Jacobs Group."Does Chris know any senior executives of the Jacobs Group? Or can he pretend to be a senior executive?" asked Lena as she observed Laura's reaction."The man that Jessica's on Luke with is called Tristan. His family runs a small company. Before Tristan took control, the company was able to make some money, but things changed when Tristan took over. He doesn't know how to run a company at all. He's also a playboy. Only Jessica was foolish enough to believe him."Lena's voice became disdainful when she said those words."From what I know, Tristan's company is going to be bankrupt soon. He's recently been trying to find a way to solve this crisis. I was wondering if Chris could do me a favor. It's best if he knows a senior executive of the Jacobs Group. If not, then can he pretend to be a senior executive and do some business with him? Doing business would require mo
The person who rushed into the convenience store quickly waved at Laura and said, "Just let me hide in here for a bit, thanks."With that said, he turned around and hid behind the shelves.Laura was stunned when she looked behind the shelves.She felt the person that just rushed into the store looked like Mike. But he had short hair.'Has Mike gotten a haircut?' wondered Laura.Before Laura could get her mind around things, a gentle woman's voice sounded in the store. "Hello, have you seen a man come in here?"The young woman was wearing a leather skirt and had soft facial features.When the woman saw Laura, she was slightly taken aback.Laura smiled and said, "No. I didn't notice anyone coming in."A puzzled look appeared on Amelia Summers' face.She was sure that she saw Mike coming into the store. She looked around to make sure that Mike wasn't in the store."Thank you. Sorry for disturbing you." Amelia pursed her lips.After saying that, she turned around and left. Howe
Mike couldn't help but sigh."A daughter of the Summers family... don't they have a daughter?" asked Chris."Are you talking about Amelia Summers? She's adopted." The mention of Amelia's name gave Mike the shivers. "Mr. Summers was worried about his wife, so he adopted Amelia from an orphanage to keep Mrs. Summers company. The only thing was that Amelia wasn't related to them by blood. However, Amelia is a very lucky girl. She was adopted by the Summers family. I wish I could be adopted by the Summers family." Mike crossed his legs and swung around on the chair. One would be very lucky to be adopted by the Summers family.However, it was as if he had suddenly thought of something, Mike looked at Chris meaningfully. "Chris, are you keeping something from me?""I have a lot of things that I haven't told you. Do you want to know them all?" replied Chris without even raising his head.In order to give Chris a hint, Mike looked at him meaningfully."Are you having a spasm?" asked Chri
Mike acted as if he had heard something terrifying and quickly waved his hands at Amelia. "No! Don't!"He was truly terrified.'Can't this woman tell that I don't like her? I've made it pretty obvious. Why is she still following me around? She really knows no shame,' thought Mike.He couldn't help but feel annoyed. But when he thought of what his father would do to him, he had no choice but to sit there with Amelia. Mike seemed to have sensed something and looked around. He looked around and just happened to lock gazes with Laura and Chris.He acted as if he had seen his savior and quickly said, "Chris, you're here as well?"Mike walked over and sat next to Chris with his plate. "Well, Chris, how about we eat together?"He didn't want to face that woman anymore. He had enough of her.Amelia was taken aback as well when she saw Laura. the expression on her face returned to normal the next second. She picked up her cutlery and plate and walked over to Laura and Chris's table a
Amelia tilted her head and looked at Mike with a smile.She somehow got to know which hotel Mike lived in and she checked into the room next to his. Whenever Mike stepped out of his room, he would bump into Amelia.Mike had thought of switching to another hotel, but no matter where he went, Amelia would still be able to find him.In the end, Mike got tired and decided not to switch hotels.On the way back to the hotel, Amelia turned to Mike and asked, "Who were those two, Mike? Were they boyfriend and girlfriend?""What's that got to do with you? Mind your own business!" shouted Mike.After saying that, Mike quickened his pace and walked forward.Amelia immediately felt aggrieved and her eyes turned red. "Wait for me, Mike."She was just about to go after Mike when the phone in her bag began to ring.When Amelia saw the caller ID, her eyes lit up."Nathan!"When Mike heard Amelia's voice, he froze on the spot.The next second, he rushed over to Amelia's side.Amelia looked
The water soaked Laura's dry lips and she felt that her throat was no longer sore.After she took the tablets that Chris fed her, she lay back on the bed, but she still had a fever.This caused Laura to feel a little helpless.It had been a while since she had fallen ill. This caused Laura to not expect herself to fall ill so easily. This fever reminded Laura that she would need to be more careful."Get some rest." Chris tucked Laura in and touched her forehead again to check her fever.Laura nodded, closed her e and went to sleep.Chris reached out and pulled her into his eyes. During the whole night, he had been checking on Laura's condition, so he rarely slept.Laura's condition only improved a little in the following morning.Chris opened his eyes almost the same time as Laura opened hers."How are you feeling?"Laura raised her head and looked at Chris. She could see the faint dark circles around his eyes."I'm feeling much better now. Did I cause you to lose sleep?"C
Harry noticed Laura's reaction and said, "I've already checked all of us in. We can board the plane straight away."Laura had rarely gone out of Empfield. Neither had just been on a plane, so she didn't know what she needed to do before boarding a plane., she didn't overthink things after hearing what Harry had said. when they boarded the plane and took their seat, Laura noticed that the plane just took off.Laura looked around and asked, "How come we're the only ones on this plane?""There probably aren't many people who choose to go to Brosland by plane from Empfield," Chris said calmly.Laura felt that he had a point.It was a special occasion this time, otherwise, Laura wouldn't normally choose to go to Brosland by plane. It would cost too much money."Looks like we boarded just in time. The plane's taking off as soon as we boarded."Laura didn't suspect anything and because she was worried about Sir Wayne, she didn't overthink things.What she didn't notice was that th
Madam Jacobs was already quite frustrated to begin with. Now that Nicole was sobbing in front of her, she became even more frustrated. "Alright, alright. Charlie's going to be fine. There's no need to cry."Madam Jacobs then passed a piece of tissue to Nicole.Nicole took the tissue and said, "Thank you, Grandaunt. It's good that you're here, otherwise, I would have no idea what to do."She sighed and then looked at Chris.She felt that Chris had become even more handsome and she liked Chris even more.Nicole found the person next to Chris very annoying.Nicole deliberately ignored Laura and said to Chris, "Chris, thank you for coming all this way from Empfield. Here, take a seat and get some rest. I've booked a table at a restaurant to welcome you guys to Brosland."Chris was talking to Laura when Nicole went to speak to him. He was asking her if she was feeling alright or not. before he could finish, Nicole interrupted him. This caused Chris to furrow his brows."That's not
