"Thank you, Professor Weedle," Selena said, but her smile barely masked her condescension.In comparison, the two friends beside her seemed to be mere accessories to Selena, lacking in all areas."Professor Weedle, we've all signed up for the Jeriton City Jewelry Design Competition. Given your autho
The thought of Yvonne having to go through a breakup and losing her job at the same time made Jared's heart ache for her.His mumbling startled Shirley, who was walking in with a cup of coffee. Her hands trembled, causing the coffee to spill.Was Jared going to bring Yvonne back? What about her then
"Yvonne, have you heard about this year's Jewelry Design Competition in Jeriton City?" Jean asked suddenly as they enjoyed some fruits for dessert.Yvonne nodded. "I heard about it while working on the exhibition. I think the rules state that designers who have already signed with a company aren't a
Yvonne booked a table at a high-end restaurant. She arrived early and ordered drinks for them, all in line with proper dining etiquette. Samuel arrived precisely on time."Good evening, Mr. Hover.""Good evening to you too, Ms. Jamison." Samuel returned Yvonne's greeting, looking at her with gentle
The first thing Anthony saw when he sat down was the contract placed beside Jared. "What's this?""The contract I drafted for Yvonne," Jared replied, looking at him. "She blocked me, so I have no way of reaching her. But I know that after resigning as my secretary, her career and personal life have
Luther could tell that Jared hadn't faked his surprise."Ah, you didn't know. Seems like I spoke out of turn, then," he said, chuckling at himself sarcastically. Then, he walked away without another word.Jared and Anthony exchanged a look.All along, their attempts to collaborate with Hover Group h
Hearing that, Jared and Luther looked at each other in annoyance.Both had put in significant effort into this project, both in terms of overt strategies and behind-the-scenes maneuvering."I have a private date tonight, so I can't discuss business with you," Samuel continued calmly.A private date?
Yvonne stopped in her tracks. She hadn't expected Jared to be waiting for her here.For a fleeting moment, the entire situation creeped her out.Even though she'd stopped, Jared was still approaching her."Yvyy, where did you go? It's late," he asked. His voice was hoarse.Jared stared at her, eyes
The moment Luther spoke, hostility sparked between him and Jared.Jared had a dark, dangerous look on his face. "Do you think you can take my place as long as you keep pestering Yvvy?"Luther walked over to stand in front of him, smiled, and said nothing. He simply kept drinking his wine.However, i
When Yvonne finally got home, she placed Andrew's posthumous work in the best spot in her workshop."Sorry it took so long for me to return to the design world you loved so much, Dad. From now on, you can watch me gradually grow here."Although she'd spent the night in the hospital yesterday, she wa
Jared started firing off a barrage of questions at Yvonne. "You still haven't told me why you didn't come home last night. Did Isabel arrange another place for you to stay so that you could avoid me on purpose? "You have no idea how worried I was! I didn't sleep the entire night. You just want me t
There was a hint of self-deprecation in Yvonne's words, and Isabel couldn't help inwardly cursing out Jared when she picked up on it."It's all in the past," she told Yvonne reassuringly. "It won't happen again."Yvonne hummed in acknowledgement.Was it truly all in the past though?After successful
"Alright," Yvonne said at last.She glanced at the clock, then poured a glass of water and placed the medicine that Samuel needed to take on the table. "You should take a day off from work today, Mr. Hover. Please take the medicine and get some more rest.""Okay," Samuel said agreeably. Just as he t
Yvonne was still very concerned when she saw Samuel's weak appearance. In the end, she could only make the worst choice available."How can I be comfortable leaving with you like this, Mr. Hover?""It's alright. I'm not very hungry anyway," said Samuel.However, he pressed his hand to his stomach as
"Are you getting changed to go out for a walk, Mr. Hover?" asked Yvonne."I'm heading home. I can't stay in the hospital for too long," replied Samuel, standing up before pausing and asking, "Will you be able to help me, Ms. Jamison? Is your ankle alright now?"Yvonne walked over to support him. "My
Jared felt like he was really about to lose control.He regretted leaving Yvonne behind, and he was equally worried about what she'd experienced today.Yet, when he thought about the possibility that Yvonne had already taken Andrew's posthumous work, his heart felt as if it was being swallowed by a
Isabel was trying to uncover Samuel's lies.It turned out that even men could be incredibly scheming in relationships."Aren't you being too paranoid?" asked Yvonne, still attempting to defend Samuel. "Mr. Hover kept asking me to go home and rest just now, and I was the one who insisted on remaining
