Besides, she even sensed that something was wrong with Aurum. Someone so smart as Shawn would have sensed it as well?"It's nothing. I didn't mean to blame you. Go to sleep first, don't wait up," Aurum said."Without you, I can't sleep well."Aurum hugged her and said, "After these few days, I will accompany you."Natalie was a little disappointed. "Okay..."Aurum sent her back to the bedroom, covered her with a quilt, and then returned to the study.He stood in front of the study window, thinking hard about what to do next. Gale was also lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.She has insomnia.She kept thinking if Shawn knew, why did he not just expose her, cut off her connections, and imprison her, preventing her from escaping?If he did not know, then who was the person who was investigating Aurum?Gale thought about that question all night but could not figure it out.She squinted for a while until dawn.After waking up and going downstairs, Peter loo
Shawn looked at how fast Peach ran; what a smart girl. Summer nodded and said, "Yes! Gale, let's go! It would be bad if you were late!"She took Gale's hand.However, Shawn held Gale's other hand.He said, "She doesn't need to clock in today."Summer replied, "Then I won't clock in either. I can come in a little later!"Shawn stopped entertaining her and said, "Pearton.""Yes, Mr. Wood."Summer was startled and looked at Pearton. "Where did you come from? ""Take her away.""Alright, Mr. Wood."Pearton passed one hand under Summer's elbow and dragged her to the company."Hey, hey, why are you dragging me...Who are you? Gale!"Summer was quickly pulled away.Gale was so nervous that her throat felt dry. "What do you have to say to me?"Her voice was trembling.She tried her best to restrain herself, but this was the only way she could do it."Are you afraid of me?" Shawn also noticed her strangeness and asked, "Gale, why are you afraid of me?"Gale immediately denied,
Shawn's voice came. "Be careful about how you park your car. What if I bumped into her?""I didn't look in the rearview mirror.""How did you get your driver's license?"Joe spread his hands and said, "Didn't you miss it?"Shawn gave him a warning look."Yes, I know that's the apple of your eye." Joe patted him on the shoulder and said, "Calm down."Shawn pushed his hand away and said, "I asked you to investigate Aurum. Did you find anything?""Uh... it's in progress."Shawn asked, "Get it as soon as possible. How long will it take?""Two or three days."Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly. "Joe. This is unlike you."Joe replied, "The person you asked me to investigate is Aurum, who is not an ordinary person. He has always been very low-key, so my progress will naturally be slower." As he spoke, Joe asked casually, "What I'm curious about is why you suddenly want to investigate Aurum? How did he offend you?""What are you doing with such detailed inquiries?""I need to ask cl
"Emotional matters can only be dealt with by oneself, and no one else can help."Joe shrugged and said, "If you try, you might succeed. If you don't try, you will never know."Gale said helplessly, "Mr. Winter, you should pay more attention to my work.""You have done a good job. Besides, you are my boss, so how dare I find fault with you."The original atmosphere returned.It seemed that the serious Joe just now had never appeared before.Gale sighed. "I'm some kind of proprietress. Okay, Mr. Winter, I'll continue to draw the design draft.""Okay."Gale left, and Joe's smile slowly froze.He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. "Are you sure that what you have found is true?""Yes.""Aurum is not an ordinary person." "We used special methods to hack his phone records and listen to his conversation. We are absolutely not wrong!" said the person on the other end.Joe paused for a few seconds before responding, "Okay." After hanging up the phone, he walked to the
Shawn squinted his eyes deeply and asked, "What did you find?""I...""Tell me!""I found nothing!""What did you say?""Yes, that's why I find it strange. Have you been deceived by Natalie?" Joe said."How dare she lie to me.""But from the clues and news I got, the relationship between Aurum and Gale...is pretty normal. The two of them do call frequently, but they are just a few words of greeting, and the call time is very short," Joe replied.Shawn asked, "What did they talk about?""Didn't I say it just now? Just normal greetings."Shawn denied, "Impossible!"A normal ordinary friend would always call to ask about each other? Moreover, they even met physically.If that was the case, Natalie would not have come to see him specially and told him about it.Could it be that his and Natalie's intuitions were both wrong?"That was really all I had found. Maybe Aurum just cared too much for Gale," Joe replied.Shawn leaned back in his chair and threw away his pen.Joe spre
Hearing this, Joe's eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and he quickly looked back at Gale.However, no one noticed him.Joe closed the door slowly.Seaside, yachts.He thought about what Aurum was doing...Joe closed his eyes.He had no idea if what he had done was right or wrong, but he had said what he said when he came here to meet Shawn. He made a choice.He... chose to hide.Shawn was even more surprised when he heard Gale's invitation.Not only had she taken the initiative to find him, but she also took the initiative to ask him to have dinner together?The restaurant on the yacht had always been a sanctimonious spot for couples to date.Sitting by the sea breeze and eating a candlelight dinner would be very romantic."Gale, you..." Shawn was not sure, and asked again, "You asked to have dinner with you tonight?""Yes."With a pause, Gale said, "Fine, just pretend I didn't mention it."She pretended to be free-wheeling, looked away, and was about to turn around
Gale opened her eyes, stunned.It took a few seconds for her to react.Shawn... actually kissed her forcefully!Gale immediately wanted to escape, but he firmly held the back of her head.His lips and teeth, his taste, have invaded her mouth!"Shawn, you... um..." When she spoke, she gave him a chance to get in!In the past two days, Gale's mind had been muddled, but now that he was kissing her deeply, depriving her of oxygen.She could not think at all.Her legs were weak, and she fell limply. Shawn hugged her, supported her, and took a few quick steps forward, pushing her against the desk.Gale leaned back.He bullied her more and more until he completely pressed her upper body on the table.The kiss became hotter and hotter.Gale panicked. If this continued, something would happen!Shawn was a normal man, and she could already feel the changes in his body!"Let go..." She beat his chest very hard and, at the same time, tightly closed her lips, not giving him a chance.
"You said so much at once. I can't remember it all.""If you don't understand, ask Summer," Gale said.Peach nodded and mumbled.She did not understand, it was not that Gale would not come to the company anymore. Why must she leave everything to her?However, Gale could not say anything.She dared not even see Summer.If she gave such detailed instructions, Summer would definitely question her.Peach was different. She was young and knew nothing about her.When it was time to get off work, Gale picked up her bag and left.When she reached the door, she still could not help but turn her head and take a look look at her workstation.Farewell.Then, Gale walked forward resolutely.She went back to the lakeside villa first, and it happened that Peter also returned.Peter waved at her and said, "Gale. Come, come, your medicinal pillow is ready."Peter handed the pillow in his hand to her. "I carefully selected the medicinal materials and stuffed them into the pillow. I wrote a
