Laura had heard of Muesli in the past. It was something made from the best nuts, and oats crumbs mixed with honey. It was very healthy.

Laura's lips curved into a smile. "Well, he's the CEO of a listed company."

She felt that they couldn't be compared to someone like the CEO of a listed company.

Shannon looked longingly out the door. "Miss Walker, you've been here quite a long time, haven't you? Have you seen what Mr. Jacobs looks like? I've heard that he doesn't like to be interviewed. There aren't any pictures of him online either. I don't know what he looks like. If he's handsome then... maybe.... well, I can use this job to my advantage. If I'm able to bump into him here and he falls in love with me at first sight, it'll be a laugh!"

Laura shook her head.

The convenience store had been open for almost six months, but she had never seen the CEO of the Jacobs Group.

Of course, Laura wasn't curious what the CEO of the Jacobs Group looked like either.

She quickly finished her bread and milk and was about to do the cleaning. That was when Shannon began screaming. "Oh my god! Miss Walker, look! Look over there!"

Shannon looked outside with a face full of shock.

Laura followed her gaze and saw a black Maybach parked not too far away from the Jacobs Group. The luxury cars behind it stopped as well.

"It's Mr. Jacobs! It's Mr. Jacobs!" Shannon rushed out of the store and looked at the black Maybach. All she was able to see before her view was blocked was a pair of black shoes.

Looking at the people who were surrounding the CEO of the Jacobs Group, an aggrieved look appeared on Shannon's face. "Sobs. I wasn't able to see his face."

Laura didn't really care. She just glanced in that direction and began doing her daily work.

Shannon was upset for a while before going to give Laura a hand.

After the cleaning was done, Laura stretched herself out a little.

The phone began to ring, so Laura walked over to answer it.

"Okay, the delivery will be made very soon."

"What is it, Miss Walker?" Shannon looked at Laura.

"The Jacobs Group wants us to deliver a box of bottled water," replied Laura.

"Then go." Shannon's eyes lit up. "I'll guard the shop. Miss Walker, you should go and see if you're able to meet Mr. Jacobs."

Laura shook her head with a smile. "That's not going to happen. The CEO's office is on the top floor. I'm only going to drop off the water at reception."

Laura felt a little strange. For a company like the Jacobs Group, there were a lot of water dispensers all over the company. In the past, the most they had ordered were soft drinks, why did they order bottled water all of a sudden?

She then brought a box of bottled water to reception.

The receptionist let out a smile at Laura and said, "Miss Walker, please can you take the water to the top floor? It's required by Assistant Jacobs. We're a little busy here and can't leave our posts."

"Okay." Laura didn't have any problems with that. She picked the box back up and walked towards the elevator.

Only after Laura had walked into the elevator did the two receptionists look at each other with puzzled looks on their faces.

"Why did Assistant Jacobs want the store manager to deliver the water to the top floor? The CEO's office is on the top floor as well. Not just anyone could set foot there."

"Could it be that Assistant Jacobs has feelings for her?"

"Shush, be quiet. Don't let others hear you. Company regulations say that we should talk about others behind their backs."

Laura looked at the elevator display as the elevator went up the building. When the elevator reached the top floor, Laura got off.

There was only one office on the top floor. Laura stood in front of the elevator and looked around, but couldn't see anyone else.

After hesitating for a short while, she walked towards the door of the office and knocked lightly.

"Come in." A familiar voice sounded from inside the office.

At first, Laura didn't feel that there was anything wrong. That was until when she pushed open the door and saw the familiar face. After that, Laura was taken aback.

"Chris, what are you doing here?"

The man standing in the middle of the room with a file in his hand locked gazes with Laura. Chris was taken aback as well.

'What's she doing here?'

The first thought that came into Chris's mind was that Laura had found out about his identity. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Laura had beaten him to it.

"Chris, you're working at the Jacobs Group? You're Assistant Jacobs?" Laura's eyes widened in shock.

'No wonder the Jacobs Group suddenly ordered a box of bottled water. He's doing this for me!' thought Laura.

What Laura didn't expect was that on Chris's profile, he said that he worked for a small company. How could the Jacobs Group be seen as a small company?

Forcing herself to calm down, Laura looked around and walked up to Chris. She then lowered her voice and said, "Chris, did you make this order using the company's money or your money? If you've used the company's money, then don't do it again in the future. I've heard that people who work in the Jacobs Group are all elites. Don't leave a bad impression just because you were trying to help my business."

    Laura felt that it must have taken Chris a lot of effort to become a special assistant.She now knew why Chris was still single at this age. She felt that he must have been focusing on his career and didn't have time to get himself a girlfriend. Therefore, this must be the reason that he was single at the age of 30.As soon as Laura finished speaking, she heard the knocking of the office door again. Assistant Jacobs walked into the room. Laura saw him as well.Laura didn't recognize Assistant Jacobs, but he recognized Laura.Assistant Jacobs was also taken aback when he saw Laura. Chris quickly walked up to him and passed the file in his hand to him. "This is the file that you wanted."Such words made Assistant Jacobs tremble in fear. It was a good thing that Chris was standing in front of him and blocked Laura's line of sight. Therefore, Laura wasn't able to see Assistant Jacobs' reaction.After seeing the meaningful look in Chris's eyes, Assistant Jacobs coughed lightly and pre

    On the morning of the next day.Laura was just about to head off to work when the door was opened from the outside.When she saw the familiar face, she asked in surprise, "You're back?"'I thought he said he was going to be gone for a week. It's only been four days,' thought Laura.When Chris saw the surprised look on Laura's face, his face turned cold. 'It seems that I'm back a little too early! It seems that I've caught her by surprise.'Chris didn't have any feelings for Laura, but that didn't mean he would allow her to cheat on him.He looked around the room, but couldn't see anyone else.He then asked with a straight face, "Where's that guy?""What guy?"Laura didn't get what Chris was asking at first. However, when she saw Chris looking at the clothes hanging on the balcony, Laura realized what Chris was talking about.She quickly walked over and took the clothes off the hangers. "I'm sorry, you weren't home these past few days. I'm all alone and a little scared. Theref

    "Mom, I don't have so much money at the moment."Laura had only graduated for a year. For the first six months, Shona would order her to hand over half of her wage every time she was paid. For the next six months, her grandmother had fallen ill, so Laura spent most of her money on her grandmother.She really didn't have any savings left over."You don't have money? Who are you trying to fool?" said Shona as she walked over in an attempt to pinch Laura's ear. However, Laura was able to avoid Shona's hand. "How dare you avoid my hand, you bitch? I've asked around. The business of this convenience store is very good. I don't believe that you won't be able to spare 20 thousand dollars! Let me tell you this, my son needs this money to get married. If you dare delay his wedding, then I'll skin you alive!"Shona's words made Laura's heart ache.Ever since Laura was little, she had never received any love from her mother. She was even forced to marry someone she didn't know for her brothe

    Shona was startled and jumped up from the ground. "Who are you? What are you doing?"Only then did Laura notice Chris, who was walking towards the store.Chris walked up to Laura and noticed the red swollen mark on her face. His eyes darkened as he asked, "She did that?"Although Chris didn't make things clear, Laura still knew who he was referring to.On the way to the store, Assistant Jacobs had already told Chris what happened. The person causing trouble seemed to be his mother-in-law.When Chris turned to look at Shona, Shona was also sizing him up and down. When she saw Chris's face, her eyes lit up."You're the man who married my daughter?"Last time, when Laura showed Shona her marriage certificate, Shona saw what Chris looked like.Chris's looks would be the kind that one would remember after only taking one glance.However, Chris had a straight face and was emitting a cold aura. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to Shona."Throw her out of the store and don'

    Laura looked at Chris and nodded. "Okay, I'll be more careful next time."Chris didn't stick around for too long. Some of the goods inside the store had been damaged by Shona, but the good thing was that not a lot was damaged. Laura paid for the damaged goods herself.After Laura finished taking care of everything, Shannon came over. She looked at Laura with a surprised face. "Miss Walker, that man's... your husband?"Laura nodded awkwardly at Shannon. When Shannon was complimenting Chris in the afternoon, Laura was too shy to tell Shannon about her relationship with Chris."Miss Walker, you're sick! The two of you are a classic pair!" Shannon just felt that Chris was a cute guy and nothing else. She just liked his looks.Laura smiled at Shannon's words.In the evening, when Laura closed the store and turned around, she saw a familiar figure standing below a lamppost not too far away.Chris was fiddling with his fingers, whilst feeling bored. When he sensed a movement, he raised

    Chris wished that he could just cut Laura's hair.He had no choice but to allow Laura's hair to hit his face all the way home. When they finally arrived home, he got off the scooter. Chris swore inwardly that he would not be a passenger of this scooter a second time.However, on the morning of the next day, when Chris was sending his assistant a message to pick him up, Laura asked, "Do you want me to give you a ride to work?"Chris subconsciously nodded his head.Therefore, Chris sat in the passenger seat of the electric scooter again.Laura took Chris to have breakfast. On the way back home the previous night, Laura said that she wanted to pay Chris for the scooter, but Chris refused.Laura then decided that she would buy Chris breakfast from now on until the money for the scooter was paid off.Sitting in the passenger seat of the scooter, Chris held a sandwich in one hand and a carton of milk in the other.The wind was blowing lightly. A black Maybach drove past the two of th

    The sound of a chicken clucking then sounded. Chris's face darkened. "What did you just hand me?"Laura opened the bag and patted the hen inside. "It's just a chicken. The scooter's basket is filled with pots and pans. The chicken won't fit. You're going to have to hold it on the way back home. Don't worry. It's all tied up. All you have to do is to hold it tightly and it won't be able to hurt you."Chris had never even held a chicken's feather let alone a live chicken.However, ever since Laura appeared in his life, he would eat breakfast from a roadside stall and ride an electric scooter home. Now, he was even holding a chicken on the way home!Chris's chest heaved up and down. Laura gave him a puzzled look. "What's wrong? What's up with the look on your face?""Nothing." Chris forced a smile on his face. He didn't want Laura to know what he was thinking, so he quickly sat in the passenger seat of the scooter. "Let's go. It's getting late. We should go home and get some rest."

    "Okay." Laura nodded in agreement. It would be quicker to travel by car.The two of them reached the hospital about half an hour later.Laura grew up with her grandmother, so she would obviously be very close to her grandmother. Her grandmother really cared about her as well.When Laura's grandmother saw Laura, a big smile appeared on her face."Grandma, this is the boyfriend I told you about. We got married a few days ago."In order to not let her grandmother worry about her, Laura lied to her and said that she had a boyfriend and they loved each other. She even told her grandmother that her boyfriend treated her very well.It was obvious that Laura's grandmother believed her, but she knew what kind of person Shona was, so it wasn't enough for Laura to just have a boyfriend. Only when Laura was married could her grandmother not worry about her.Chris greeted Laura's grandmother politely. "Hi, Grandma."By calling Linda Walker "Grandma", she immediately had a good impression of

    The two children attracted Laura's attention and she just watched them play.The two children looked a little alike. The boy was obviously a little older than the girl. They were most likely brother and sister.The little girl noticed Laura's gaze, so she walked up to her. "Are you looking at us?"The little boy noticed his sister standing in front of two strangers. He then rushed over and stood between the girl, and Laura and Chris with an alarming look on his face."Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Laura squatted down so that she was the same height as the two children."I think I know what she wants, Owen," the little girl suddenly said with a serious face."What does she want?" The little boy's face softened when he looked at the little girl."She's looking at us, so she must be wanting to play with us!" the girl said innocently and then looked at Laura. "Am I right?"Laura squatted down and pinched the girl's face with a smile. "Yes, you are! I love children who are cute l

    "Harry and I are planning to go to the beach after this, do you want to come with us?" Shannon asked Laura.After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Sure!"The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour after the meal before Chris came to pick them up."Have you finished?" Chris was asking everyone but his eyes were fixed on Laura."Yes, we have. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite nice," said Harry.He seemed to not have had enough as he placed some more food in his mouth."Do you want some more? We're in no rush anyway."Laura was worried that Harry didn't have enough to eat."No, I'm full. Let's head to the beach." The thought of going to the beach and enjoying the night view with Shannon made Harry very excited."What beach?" asked Chris. He was a little puzzled."Shannon just said that they were going to the beach and asked me if I wanted to join them. It felt like a good idea to me so I agreed. Do you want to come as well?"

    Lucas and Dawn waited for a while but their food still wasn't served."What's taking them so long?" mumbled Dawn."They're probably busy. We don't have any other plans tonight, there's no rush."Lucas picked up his phone and began playing a game. At the same time, he poured a glass of water for Dawn. "Here, have some water., it'll ease the hunger"Dawn was rendered speechless.She picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and then began looking around. That was when she noticed a table of a man and two women receiving their food as soon as they sat down.Seeing that, Dawn shouted, "Waitress!"A girl in her early 20s quickly walked over to her. "How may I help?""When will our food be served? We've already been waiting for a long time." Dawn was a little dissatisfied."I'm sorry, Miss. The kitchen is already preparing your dishes and the food will be served very soon," the waitress said apologetically."What do you mean by that? We've already been waiting for ages. Not only th

    "Mr. Summers, Mr. Scholfield is waiting for you in the meeting room.""Okay."Nathan tidied his desk, picked up a file and headed towards the meeting room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.Lucas had a lazy temperament and his lips were curved into a mischievous smile. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Summers, you're three minutes late."Nathan was used to Lucas's behavior, so he just looked at Lucas indifferently. "Here's the contract. Check to see if you have any problems with it."Lucas sat up, took the contract, and flicked through it casually. "Where's the pen?""Aren't you going to read it more carefully?""I don't think that Mr. Summers is going to trick me, right?" asked Lucas. His voice was casual and his hand was getting ready to hold a pen.Nathan smiled, took out a pen from a drawer, and signed his name on the contract before passing it to Lucas.Lucas held the pen tightly in his hand as he signed his name on the

    Nathan waited in the police station with Amelia.About an hour later, two police officers brought a man in black and wearing a baseball cap in front of the two of them.There were wounds on his face as well. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.One of the officers passed a delicate purse to Amelia. "Miss Summers, is this your purse?"Amelia's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's the purse I lost.""This is the person who stole your purse, Miss Summers. What do you want us to do with him?" the other officer pointed at the man and asked.After giving it some thought, Amelia said, "I've just checked my purse and nothing's missing. I'll let him off this time.""Looks like you're in luck. Quick, thank Miss Summers for her kindness.""Thank you so much, Miss Summers!""Alright, just try not to steal things in the future. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand.After the man in black was released, Amelia and Nathan headed back home as well.Amelia then sent a text to the man in black

    "Get someone to find out why Amelia went to the police station today." Nathan gave the order."Yes, Mr. Summers. I'll get right on it." Dominic nodded and went out of the room.After giving it some thought, Nathan still felt that he should head to the police station in person to ask Amelia what she was doing.When Nathan arrived at the police station, Amelia had just finished talking to Jack."Amelia!" Nathan called out.Amelia stopped walking and turned around. She then looked at Nathan with a face full of surprise."Nathan, what are you doing here?" Amelia smiled and walked over to Nathan."I came to check if Jack had said anything else. I've also heard that you came to the police station instead of to work, so I thought I'd come to give you a lift on the way back."Amelia nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll head back home with you once I've found my purse.""What purse?" Nathan felt a little puzzled."I was going out with a few friends, but I lost my purse on my way. There we

    "Please take a seat, Miss Summers. We've already sent men to look for your purse. We'll find it soon." One of the officers put on a big smile and tried to please Amelia when he found out that she was the daughter of the Summers family.Amelia just nodded and then went to sit on the chair.A while later Amelia asked the officer that just spoke to her, "I'm a little bored. Can I take a look around?""Sure! I can...""There's no need. I want to take a look around by myself. Notify me when you find my purse."With that said, Amelia left the reception room and began walking around the police station.She didn't get far before she saw Jack."I need to speak to Jack," Amelia said to the guard outside the cell."I'm sorry, Miss Summers. Mr. Summers gave us specific orders to keep an eye on him and not let anyone visit him."The guard stopped Amelia.

    After losing her memories, Mrs. Summers couldn't remember anything. She didn't want to dwell on this matter since it was in the past.However, Alex wasn't going to let Nancy off that easily. "She must be punished. Otherwise, who knows what she would do next time!"Nancy had become more and more arrogant. Alex felt that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, she would do something even worse.After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Summers still didn't want to punish Nancy. "She's our child after all. We shouldn't criticize her too much. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Let her off this once for me."Nancy kept nodding her head after hearing Mrs. Summers' words. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me just this once."Seeing that Mrs. Summers was asking him to let Nancy off, Alex had no choice but to say, "Since your mom has forgiven you, then I'll let you off this once. But if there's a next time, I'll kick you out of the Summers family myself!"Nancy qu

    Seeing the look on Nancy's face, Alex knew that she knew about the glass of water. His face immediately paled.Amelia quickly walked forward. "Dad, Nancy was just a little thoughtless, I think she didn't mean any harm."Her words made Alex even more infuriated. "She was thoughtless? Was that the reason to add sleeping pills to the water?"If it weren't for that glass of water, Alex wouldn't have been in a deep slumber and the things that followed wouldn't have happened.Nancy began shaking in fear. That was because she did add sleeping pills to the glass of water.She was planning on getting Chris to drink the water and then she would get someone to bring Chris to her room when he was asleep.That way, Chris would have to be responsible for her under the pressure of the Summers family.However, what Nancy didn't expect was that Alex drank the water instead of Chris.Amelia wasn't worried that Nancy would sell her out.
