Since they started dating, Kevin had become accustomed to finishing Tianna's food for her. He would finish everything she couldn't eat. Fortunately, the Japanese food was delicate and the calories weren't high. Otherwise, he would have to work out tonight. After eating the Japanese food, the two of them held hands and walked around the hotel. This helped to digest the food, as well as satisfy Tianna's curiosity. She couldn't stop praising this hotel. The scenery was vividly beautiful. Tianna felt like she was immersed in Japan. She didn't complain about being tired after walking for a long time. "Tianna, Kevin, you are still walking around!" On the way, they met their classmate. He greeted them warmly. Tianna was holding hands with Kevin. When she met someone she knew, she was a little embarrassed and wanted to let go of Kevin's hand. However, Kevin held her tightly and did not give her a chance to let go. "Well, we've just finished eating. We're just hang
Kevin opened his eyes. He reached out and prodded at the space beside him, but no one was there. "Tianna?" Kevin rubbed his eyes as he walked out of the bedroom. He saw Tianna working around in the kitchen. He suddenly sobered up. Wasn't this the picture he dreamed of? Still, he had wished for Tianna to stay in bed long enough for her to be the first thing he sees every morning. "You're making breakfast already?" Kevin asked in his cute and slightly hoarse morning voice. Tianna looked at his attractively messy hair and smiled, "Breakfast is almost ready, it'll be done after you've finished preparing yourself." "Sure." While brushing his teeth, Kevin started eyeing himself in the mirror, secretly thanking himself for not waking up ugly. "Wow that's a lot of food." Kevin said after he was done washing up. He looked at the food on the table and was reminded that Tianna was the perfect one. Thankfully, she's his. "No," Tianna said as she ges
Tianna felt that Kevin was behaving suspiciously. Was he trying to take advantage of her? She didn't dare to say it out loud. If she did, he would never admit, regardless of whether he intended to or not. So either way, the consequences will be too much for her to bear. "I'm not tired. It's my honor to serve you. This is my work ID number, please remember to request my service the next time you come!" Kevin said jokingly. Tianna suddenly realized Kevin was just trying to tease her. Even the work ID he repeated with a wink was the number she had inscribed casually last night. Tianna can't help but admit to herself that she's actually impressed. "Now you're gonna get it!" Tianna said. She threw herself at Kevin, preparing herself for a playful fight. One was on the sofa and the other sat on the ground. The two of them seemed to be tangled together, but in fact, they were playfully caressing each other. After a while, both of them sat on the ground, panting.
"I'm just kidding," Kevin explained when he saw her worried expression. "I'm still new to the company and there's a lot of things I have to learn. I have to follow every detail. After I've familiarized myself, I will become the vice president." "So you really are going to be the vice president," Tianna said with a sigh. "I don't know much about the company's affairs, so I can't help you..." "Actually, I'd like to ask a favor." "What's that?" Tianna's eyes lit up. Kevin was working so hard so she wanted to do something for him. This would make her feel better. "Let's go back to my room first." On the way to Kevin's room, Tianna kept pestering him to tell him about the favor. "Why are you in such a hurry?" Kevin looked at her amusedly. "Come on, hurry up and tell me!" "I'm very tired today. Can you please give me a massage?" His eyes glistered deviously while he tried to show a pitiful face. "That's it? Of course I'll do it!" Tiann
Seeing the disappointment in Tianna's eyes, Kevin felt sorry. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to take the position so soon." Although it might be a great news for others, Kevin was full of resentment. When George said that he wanted to be able to train a successor as soon as possible, Kevin didn't think it would be so soon. He thought that he would still be able to spend time with Tianna. However, George never gave Kevin the chance to do so. "You don't have to be sorry. It's not your fault." Although Tianna was disappointed, she wasn't blaming Kevin. His choices were restricted when he entered the company. As an adult, he couldn't do anything he wanted and He was expected to carry the responsibility on his shoulders. "But still, I can't go with you," Kevin blamed himself and suggested, "If you want to go, you can ask a friend to go with you and Candy. But only girls are allowed." This is the best offer Kevin can agree to, men were not allowed no m
Kevin looked at their reactions, especially the men. Their eyes were glued to Tianna. Kevin's temper flared. He took Tianna to the general manager's office and introduced her to the other three secretaries. "This is the new secretary, Tianna Fisher." Kevin pointed to an empty seat outside the office and said, "That's your seat. The others will take you around and help you familiarize yourself with the surroundings." "Okay," Tianna replied. This was what Kevin and Tianna had agreed in advance. When they were in the company, they would have a superior-subordinate relationship. As for other more intimate relationships, that was for after work. Kevin asked the three of them to help Tianna familiarize herself with the office. However, he did not mention how. Audrey Allen, a very beautiful secretary, took the initiative to talk to Tianna, "Tianna, since you are working next to me, I will help you get familiar with the office. If there is anything you don't kno
"No, you've misunderstood. She's asking whether the vice president is single..." Audrey said. The two secretaries exchanged a knowing look. It was understandable to ask about the vice president's character and preference. After all, as a secretary, they should know these details. However, asking about his relationship status was a different story. "You mean, she is interested in the vice president?" Audrey shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, "It's possible. Anyway, I said I didn't know much about it. I also said I hadn't seen the vice president being close to any girl. She seemed to be relieved. "Then that's very likely!" "I don't think so." Audrey spoke up on Tianna's behalf. "Maybe she's just curious?" "If she just wants to gossip, we can talk about this after we get to know each other better. However, she just arrived and is already concerned about this. Isn't it clear that she wants to climb up the ladder?" Although they we
"There's a banquet tonight. Attend it with me," Kevin informed them. Their eyes lit up when they heard about the banquet. Many VIPs usually attended banquets like this and maybe they would have a chance to hook up with one of them. It would only be a matter of time before they could turn their life around. Audrey was thinking about something else. "Vice president, do you have a date? If not, I can..." Audrey was about to say that she could go as his date, but Kevin interrupted her mercilessly. "You don't have to worry about that. I have a date." "Oh." Audrey was filled with disappointment. However, Audrey was soon happy again. Since Tianna had been sent out, she would certainly have no chance of attending the banquet. She would take the initiative. Perhaps Kevin would notice her then if she was the most outstanding one among the other secretaries. However, her dream was crushed after they arrived at the hotel. The three secretaries ha
"Okay." Grace agreed and said, "I have something else to discuss with you." When he finally heard this sentence, Zaden knew that there must've been something going on. "What's the matter?" As they talked, they went into the lounge. Zaden also specifically told the secretaries that no one was allowed to come in and disturb him before work in the afternoon. These words made the secretaries' eyes turn red. Since he had ordered them to keep everyone out of his office while he was inside with a woman, it was hard to control their imaginations from running wild. "How's your investigation on my surrogacy?" Grace asked. Zaden had thought that Grace's patience was wearing thin, and so she had sought him out for an update on his progress. Feeling a little ashamed, he said, "I'm sorry. There hasn't been any progress so far. You know that information on surrogacy is highly secured. It won't be so easy for my subordinates to investigate it." "It's okay. You
"Stop!" Grace made a gesture and said, "I'm going to the Empire Group. Do you want to go with me?" "Oh?" Gentry was flustered for a moment and then realized that he had almost gotten himself in trouble. He quickly said goodbye. "Sorry, sorry for bothering you. It's my fault!" Grace shook her head helplessly. She went to the kitchen to bring the toiletries she had prepared for Zaden, and set off for the Empire Group. Grace took a cab, as she didn't have the nerve to ask her chauffeurs to give her a ride. This was the first time Grace had taken the initiative to go there. She didn't know whether she was going to meet Zaden or not, but the staff at the front desk had changed since the last time she had went to deliver food and she didn't know when it had happened. Hence, the new staff didn't know her at all. However, when she saw that Grace was dressed up very beautifully and elegantly, she guessed that Grace must be someone important. Naturally, she didn't d
This time, Grace took the initiative. She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Zaden's neck, and took the initiative to plant her pink lips on his. The chaste kisses turned into lingering kisses. Zaden had always restrained himself very much. Every time he met Grace, he always felt that he was on the verge of losing control. "Well, I can't believe that you are so obedient today. Go to sleep. If you kiss me again, I might not remain chaste. You won't have a chance to sleep even if you want to," said Zaden. After going to bed, Grace took the initiative to cradle into Zaden's arms. Just like Dulcie acting like a spoiled child, Grace had also put all of her heart and soul into Zaden, like a spoiled child. The next day, there was still no sign of Zaden at breakfast in the Andrew household. "Oh? Dad's gone again..." Dulcie said regretfully. Douglas found that his sister was upset, thus he comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Dulcie. Daddy need
The silent confrontation was still going on, and Zaden was waiting. When would Moira give in? Moira was also waiting. When would Zaden be gracious enough to let her go? However, perhaps these two people didn't know each other very well. They both had naive expectations that were absolutely wrong and impossible to achieve from the beginning. "It's so cold..." Moira murmured in a low voice. As she spoke, a puff of white vapor immediately appeared in front of her lips. Even though kneeling down like this was not a big deal, Moira had always been pampered and had grown up a spoiled child. She had never suffered this kind of hardship before. Her body could not bear it either. She only felt that her legs were on the verge of losing its strength and becoming numb. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain swayed. Flowers in the garden were beaten into a mess by the rain, as so was Moira. Moira's body had reached its limit, and she could not catch h
"Plop—" Moira's kneecaps hit the ground, the sound of it ringing crisp. Grace was dumbfounded. She looked at Moira, who was kneeling in front of her, and could not say anything for a while. As for Zaden, there was not even the slightest expression on his face. "What, what are you doing?" Grace asked. She instinctively stood up from her chair as she took in the scene before her, at a complete loss of what to do. Moira glanced at her. Sometimes, when one's ego was at one's feet, one becomes more able to take humiliation than usual. She replied with indifference, "Why are you so agitated? I'm not kneeling at you. Don't think too much of yourself." Moira looked at Zaden and said, "Zaden, I beg you, please have mercy on the Coulson family. No matter what you demand, as long as I can do it, you can demand it!" Zaden frowned and said, "Kneel further if you want to. You're an eyesore right now." Mercy? For someone like Zaden, mercy had always bee
"No, Mother, if Zaden takes over the Coulson Group, then we..." Moira could not continue speaking. She did not even want to imagine what would happen. "You understand now? I thought a donkey kicked you in the brain!" "That... That won't do. I'll go beg him right now!" Moira shouted. Now that things had come to this, it was obvious that Zaden's target was Moira. Although she was extremely unwilling, she would have to make a stand against him now. No matter what she would have to experience, she had to protect the company. She could not lose everything. She rushed to the Andrew family villa, but Moira was not even allowed through the main entrance. "Let me in!" Moira began making a scene outside. She made such a ruckus that it was difficult for the people inside to ignore her. "Mr. Andrew, Miss Coulson is causing a scene outside, this..." the butler informed Zaden "Let her be," Zaden said expressionlessly. This was not the first
Grace frowned before cutting Moira off. "Moira, there's no use in talking to me like that. I just want to know who it is. Tell me the truth!" "Do you think I'll tell you just because you want to know?" Moira scoffed before retorting, "Who do you think you are?" "Does this mean that you admit you used Mr. Yale's name to deceive me?" Grace quickly latched onto the loophole in Moira's words. "Hah, I didn't say that. You're just making things up." Moira was still as stubborn as a mule. She once again diverted the topic so that she could insult and ridicule Grace. All sorts of vulgarities came through the call, and each minute that passed only pushed a person's limits even further. Grace felt nothing at Moira's words. However, Zaden, who was next to her, did not want to hear any more of it. He was on his last straw, so he grabbed the phone to end the call. "Are you stupid? Just letting her scold you like that?" Zaden asked, his tone sour. "As long a
"Mr. Yale and his wife are quite old, so having children has been difficult for them. In the beginning, they contacted many surrogacy agencies. However, Mr. Yale was extremely cautious when it came to picking a surrogate mother. This caused a lot of trouble to the agencies since the surrogate mothers they suggested never met his standards." "Later, Mr. Yale thought about going abroad to find a surrogate mother. However, right at the critical moment, he suddenly found out that Mrs. Yale was already pregnant!" "The pleasant surprise caused them to give up their search for a surrogate mother. After all, Mrs. Yale wasn't getting any younger and they both went through a lot to get this son, so that's why the Yale family treats him so preciously." As Zaden listened to the report from his subordinate on the other end of the call, his mood grew complicated. The only way he could clear his mind was to focus on the fact that the night wind had blown his body cold. To be h
Mr. Yale's word of thanks was like a knife stabbing into Grace's heart. How could she be worthy of his gratitude? She could not take it anymore and felt like returning to the car to escape the situation. Mr. Yale withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Even he, who was usually slick and smooth, could not find the right words to say at this time. Zaden tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'm sorry, she was one of the victims too, so..." "I understand," Mr. Yale said with a nod. "We understand and more than anything else, we thank you, Mr. Andrew. You've worked hard today. We won't take up any more of your time. You should go back early and rest. We will definitely drop by next time to properly thank you." Zaden nodded and turned to get in the car. Dulcie was all worn out from crying too long, so she was curled up in her seat and fast asleep. Zaden asked softly, "What on earth happened before I arrived?" Grace suddenly turned teary-eyed. The tear
