I felt that my heart skipped a beat. After Patrick finished speaking, he leaned over and took over my mouth with the strong alcohol smell in his mouth. Little by little, he kissed me. Although it was a small amount of alcohol, for a moment, I felt dizzy. After he pressed me against the sofa, I subjected myself to his kissing bit by bit. He ignited something dormant in my heart bit by bit. Placing his hand on my chest, Patrick wanted to unbutton my top. All of a sudden, I was sobered up. And I pinched my clothes tightly in a hurry. Seeing this, Patrick was stunned. And he looked at me with a bit of surprise in his eyes. I blushed and said, "No. As long as you are married, I... I won't sleep with you." It was my bottom line. I surely wouldn't abandon it. Hearing my words, Patrick was stunned. After a long while, curling up the corner of his mouth and revealing a beautiful arc, he withdrew his hand, held my waist, and
Seeing my reaction, Shelton was a little surprised. And I was stunned for a moment. Realizing that what I had done just now wasn't appropriate, I quickly approached him, bowed my head, and said guiltily, "I sprained my ankle." Even I wasn't convinced by my own lie. Hearing my words, Shelton put his hands in his pocket and said gently, "Be careful." After picking Glenn up, we went to have dinner. Over the dinner, Shelton seemed to behave himself and no longer did anything too intimate to me. In the evening, after Glenn fell asleep, I lay restlessly in bed and heard that my cell phone rang. I looked down and saw that it was a text from Shelton. And the brief text read, "Come to my house." After reading the text, I quickly put my cell phone aside, pretending that I had fallen asleep. However, I received another text from Shelton soon, which read, "I know you didn't fall asleep. Didn't you sprain your ankle today? I'll help you to check it ou
"Getting rid of the cocoon in excitement, sensing the impulse of a glorious re-birth..." When Nancy asked me how we should name the studio, my cell phone rang. I took a look at it and saw that Patrick was calling me. Yesterday, I had told Patrick my number. I hesitated for a moment and picked up the call, asking, "What's the matter?" Over the phone, Patrick was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I want to tell you that I have gone back to the company and that I may be busy in the next few days. So I probably can't contact you. And I will contact you after the advertising auction is over." "After the advertising auction..." "Okay, I'll wait for your call." Although I said so verbally, I wasn't sure if Patrick and I could meet again after the auction. After I hung up the phone, Nancy asked me, "Why don't we name our studio Swallowtail Butterfly?" "Swallowtail Butterfly?" It happened that the name of my cell phone rin
"I have my own way," I said in a mysterious manner on purpose. I said so to trick him. Roger smiled, "It's just a trivial matter. Miss Nolan, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. But it's not a shameful thing. I can tell you. But..." He paused and continued, "Can I get any benefit if I tell you?" As expected, Roger was a businessman. "Then you don't have to say anything. After all, it's all in the past." I knew well who Roger was. He forced Jeremy and Gina to an extent where they went broke and earned money by doing part-time jobs. Jeremy and Gina dared not turn to Roger. In the end, Roger took advantage of them, making them almost kill me! For someone like Roger, I should try my best to avoid him. I turned around and left. Roger didn't continue to call out to me. I walked to an intersection, planning to take a taxi home. Then a familiar black car stopped beside me. Patrick got out of the car. Upo
"I would like to." I directly said so without even pondering on it for a second. After saying this, I whispered, "It doesn't matter if you won't rise again. It will be okay as long as the two of us are together." Hearing our conversation, Jeremy stood up consciously and left with the computer in his hands. The ones around us left their seats one after another. And most of them went to circle Shelton. It was a place where the winner took all. Only the one bidding at the highest price would be the most shining star. And everyone else could only be a backdrop. The front row was empty soon. Only Patrick and I were still there. Patrick turned to look at me, "How can I do that? I've said that I will give you the best. If I fail, I'll break my promise." "It's not a big deal. When I was a teenager, I made money on my own to support myself. Now I'm almost twice as old as before. Even if you don't work, I can support you with ease!" I knew that Patrick s
Shelton shook the agreement in his hands and asked, "Do you want it?" "There's no need." Patrick refused directly. I knew why he refused. Because I could foresee Shelton's conditions later. "Is that so? That's too much of a pity." Shelton gave Roger a wink. Roger immediately brought over a small fish tank from the lounge. Shelton smiled, raised the portable hard drive high, and placed it above the tank, saying, "Since you don't want it, I'll throw it inside. Let me warn you in advance. It is the only one. And there's no backup for it." Hearing what he said, I suddenly became nervous in my heart, intending to move. However, with Patrick firmly wrapping around my shoulders with his fingers, I couldn't move at all. "Throw it at your free will." Patrick said calmly. But I couldn't be like him. Staring at Patrick, I said, "You are crazy. It's all your money inside." "Not too much. It can't be even on par with than
"What are you doing?" At this time, the bodyguards beside Patrick were pointing their guns at him! As soon as he moved, the bodyguards moved their guns as well. But no one dared to shoot him. "Put down the hard drive in your hands. I've told you long ago I don't want these things. I only want you." As Patrick spoke, he snatched the hard drive away from me, put it on the low table, and looked at me with strong affection in his eyes, "Don't be afraid. I've given up on you once. And I won't do so for a second time." However, several bodyguards were aiming their guns at Patrick. "Janetta." Shelton called me from behind. Hearing his words, I shivered. I wanted to stand by Patrick's side strongly. But I knew I couldn't. I knew that if I dared to follow Patrick, Shelton would dare to kill Patrick! I thought about it before. Instead of expecting to be with Patrick, I only hoped that he could live well in this world. Finally, I bent do
Roger was a little surprised. When I went with him, Roger asked me, "What did you say to Shelton? How come he is willing to let you come with me?" "I told him the truth." I had a little bit understanding of Shelton. He seemed to be someone without any sense of securities. So what Shelton wanted to know was the truth. If I wanted to stay safely by his side, I had to tell him everything. Instead of going to the round table where Roger had been, we went to the resting area in the corner. There were large sofas and snacks. We sat on two sofas separately. I asked him, "Tell me." "Seth's car incident indeed... has something to do with me." Upon saying so, Roger paused. Based on what he said, in my opinion, he had admitted that he was the one who had orchestrated Seth's car incident. "You! Why?" Even though Seth had been dead for so many years, I couldn't calm down at all after knowing that it was Roger who did it!
