Arabella raised her head and looked at the skyscraper, which looked so tall that it seemed like it could touch the clouds. The beautiful sun overflowed with the colors of the rainbow.

She pushed the glass door and entered. The receptionist was on the phone, so she waited for a while.

After the receptionist put down the phone, she smiled and said, “Hi, I am Arabella Rivera. I have an appointment with the chief editor, Ms. Lewis.”

The receptionist smiled politely and led her to the guest room before pouring a glass of water for her. “Please wait for a while, Ms. Arabella.”

After a short while, a woman in her thirties pushed the door open and entered the room. She took great care of her skin, which made her look younger than her actual age. She was also very fashionable and walked with style.

“Ms. Arabella, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Arabella stood up and extended her hand out. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Lewis.”

Ms. Lewis shook hands with her and sat on the opposite chair while giving her a

    Arabella did not even look at him and smiled as she walked past Faye to stand behind him before placing one arm over his shoulders and intimately adjusting his collar for him.“When you have time, let’s go and have coffee to reminisce about the past.” With that, she smiled and left.Calvin lowered his eyelashes as he prepared his speech in his heart to explain to Faye. Yet, when he raised his head up, he saw that his new lover’s face was filled with tears and that her eyes were slightly red. Despite the tears, she looked very attractive.He was flustered. “Faye, I…” “Calvin, we are done. Don’t look me up ever again.” Faye stood up, took her bag, and left while crying.As he watched his new lover leave as she cried, Calvin wanted to curse before he took out his phone and called John, feeling upset.Once the call was through, he shouted, “Arabella ruined my date!”John stood before the glass window in his office and s

    “Arabella, I heard that you are working for a magazine agency?”In contrast to her outfit, Arabella wore a plain pair of ear studs.Thus, Serenity took it down and replaced it with a pair of royal blue crystal earrings from the makeup box.She looked at her unfamiliar appearance in the mirror and was startled. “Anyways, I will be bored staying at home.”She had never styled herself up so properly with a high-end custom-made dress, exquisite necklace, and costly earrings.As she looked at herself in the mirror, she had the realization that she was the young missy of the Rivera family.“Then you should have entered our own company.” Serenity did not agree with her working in the magazine agency. “You will suffer grievances during work. In our own company, with me and Dad around, nobody will dare to bully you.”Although Serenity married John, she did not work in Grant Group with him. Instead, she remained in the Rivera family’s company and was the manager of the design department.It was

    Mrs. Abbot’s eyes had a hint of shock as she sized her up with a curious and surprised gaze.Could it be that she was ignorant?She had not heard that the Rivera family had another daughter.Mrs. Cook’s arm gently nudged Mrs. Abbot before Mrs. Abbot realized that she had lost her composure. She dryly laughed. “Ms. Arabella is really pretty. Are you still pursuing your education?”Arabella’s skin was tender and fair while her face was exquisite and small with a pair of clear black eyes. To those who did not know better, she looked like a university student who had yet to step into society.Serenity laughed. “Arabella has already graduated. She has been overseas for the past few years and only came back half a month ago so you may not have seen her.”After hearing her words, Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Abbot understood, and their mouths were filled with compliments for Arabella.Arabella’s face kept on a smile, and wait for them to stop talking before she said, “Thank you.”Serenity was prepared

    She did not speak for a long while, and Daniel lowered his head to look at her. Upon noticing that she was not paying attention to him, he slightly furrowed his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”She gave him a faint smile with her eyes shining. “I was just thinking about how everyone brought a date along, and yet, you didn’t.”“Aren’t you here with me?” Although he said it in a teasing tone, his black eyes looked very still and calm while his voice was filled with indifference.She curled her lips up and remained silent.She obviously did not think that the reason he did not bring a date along was due to her presence.Would someone like Daniel care about how a woman felt?Besides, they were like friends with benefits where they only took what they needed from each other.As the music was going to end soon, Daniel pushed her forward before pulling her back again.Her dress gently swayed as though it was a butterfly flapping its wings. Her delicate waist leaned backward with his hand supporting

    Outside the guest room number 6088, a woman wearing a rose-colored strapless gown stood with a look of nervousness.She took a deep breath and knocked on the room door.After she knocked two times, no one responded. She was a little dejected but was indignant too.She continued to knock for the third time and the room door was pulled open from inside.The man who opened the door did not see clearly who was standing outside the door and said with a cold tone, “Don’t you have the room card?”Linda was frightened by his displeased voice, but as she thought about her purpose for coming here, she calmed herself down.The man had just come out from the bathroom, and a towel was wrapped around him while his hair was dripping with water.Her face immediately flushed red as she stuttered, “President… President Garcia, I’m Linda. I am here to…”When he heard the unfamiliar woman’s voice, Daniel stopped his footsteps to the inner room and turned back to look at the person outside the door before

    Her heart felt very sour. Perhaps many people had the same surname and name as John Grant in this world, but the John Grant she met when she was five could no longer be hers.She also did not have the right to brazenly point at his nose like the good old days when they were young and say, “John Grant, if you dare to accept any present from other women, I will never talk to you again.”Even though she knew that other women had secretly stuffed those presents into his bag, she still felt uncomfortable.Of course, those tidbits and chocolates always ended up in her stomach.Every time she ate, she would even judge those girls with a look of disdain. She would say that they were either too fat or too short.She told him not to be blinded by love and to focus on studying, as that was the right path.She even learned the phrase “blinded by love” from her grandma.At that time, she was only ten and did not know what it meant. She only thought that the phrase sounded very cool and used it.Ho

    Every time she picked up the ball for him, he would say “thank you” with his face devoid of expression as his tone of voice remained polite and indifferent. However, he did not sound apologetic at all.Before she could even catch her breath, Daniel swung his golf club again.However, not only did the ball not enter the hole, but it also rolled farther than before.By the time she picked up her fifteenth ball, she was already so tired that she could not breathe properly.She heard the people who came with Daniel say, “President Garcia, your form doesn’t seem very good today.”Daniel took the bottle of water that Caleb passed to him. He opened the bottle and gulped before saying with his tone filled with indifference, “My hand slipped.”Benjamin and the others went to the rest area to take a breather after playing for a while, but Daniel did not seem to be bored from playing.The way he swung his golf club looked very smooth and skillful. He even looked very cool and elegant when he did

He must have done it on purpose!This man was indeed eccentric, just like what the rumors said.Helpless, she could only wait for the next lift to come.When she arrived in the lobby, everyone had already taken their bath, changed their clothes, and were waiting for her.With so many people waiting for her, she was very embarrassed. Moreover, those who waited for her were old presidents from companies.Benjamin glanced at her with a cold gaze.

    At the back of the hotel was a round flower garden. A long table was placed on the grass, and the table was covered with a white cloth. On top of it, there was a variety of delicious food.When Arabella found Sam, he was holding a plate of cake while his gaze was on Xander Hall, who was talking with another person by the water fountain.She patted his shoulder from behind. Perhaps he was frightened, so his reaction was very big and the cake in his hands almost dropped to the ground.Sam saw her and heaved a sigh of relief before asking, “How did you get in?”“I walked in with my own two legs.” She took the cake that was yet to be touched from his hands and took a bite. It was her favorite blueberry flavor.Sam did not like to eat food that was sweet anyway and only took the cake as a cover. “No, I meant…”She knew what he was going to ask and quickly cut off his words. “Have you talked to Mayor Xander Hall?”Sam scratched his head. “I haven’t had the right timing.”She glanced at Xand

    Undoubtedly, he was indirectly telling her about Xander Hall’s whereabouts. Her dark eyes lit up while she lifted her head to kiss him.Daniel took another drag of his cigarette, causing his sexy Adam’s apple to move. “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”Arabella looked at him, confused while she waited for him to continue his sentence. He disposed of his cigarette and continued, “You need an invitation to enter.”She looked at him with hopeful eyes. “You are invited too?”Daniel replied with a “Hmm,” and her eyes looked even brighter, only for her to hear his next sentence: “But I have never brought a female date to any banquet parties before.”The excitement and joy she felt a moment ago suddenly disappeared after hearing his words.That’s right. Although Daniel changed his lover every once in a while, he had never been involved in scandals with any woman before. This was because he always attended banquets alone and never brought a female date along.“In that case, can I

    Caleb looked at his expression through the rearview mirror before he said in terror, “Ms. Arabella is stopping our car.”Arabella walked forward with her high heels and pulled open the car door before sitting inside the car. She sat in the same row as Daniel before saying, “Are you going to eat? Bring me along. I’m hungry too.”Daniel was not dumb enough to not notice that she had an ulterior motive. He said with a slightly cold expression, “Get off the car!”“President Jones.” She affectionately hugged Daniel’s arm and said in a tender voice, “We haven’t eaten a meal together.”Daniel crossed his legs and his lips curled up with a hint of mockery. “I think you are more willing to eat with Mayor Xander Hall.”Naturally, she would not overthink things and assume that he was jealous. Hence, she pretended to not understand his words. Her face was filled with a sweet smiling expression and her black eyes shone with anticipation.“I know a restaurant that has just opened.

    Caleb looked at her before looking at Sam, who had a camera around his neck and finally understood their intention for coming here. “The magazine agency wants you guys to interview Mayor Hall?”Arabella did not beat around the bush and honestly admitted to it. He remained silent for a while before nodding his head to agree to her request.With Caleb leading them, the security officer at the gate did not stop them anymore. Sam immediately went forward to Arabella and lowered his voice to say, “Who is this man? Those two security officers acted as if they were his grandchildren when they saw him.”“Curiosity killed the cat.” Arabella pushed his head away from her and walked faster to catch up to Caleb.There was a chain bridge located on the eastern side of the resort, and below it was a creek.Caleb told her that Alexander and Daniel would come here for lunch after they had surveyed the place. When that time came, they would walk past here and, hence, he allowed them to wait here.Ther

    Serenity did not seem to be surprised, only giving a faint “Oh” as a reply. “In that case, I’ll give Eva a bath now. Bye.”Just as she was about to put down the phone, a realization suddenly struck John and he said, “Wait.”Serenity, who was going to put down the phone, froze and quietly listened.He used one hand to hold the railings on the corridor to support himself and said, “Make a call to the Rivera family and tell them that Arabella will be staying with the Grant family tonight.”Serenity remained silent for a moment. “Arabella is with you?”He did not want to hide from her and confessed, “She is drunk, so it’s not very convenient for her to return to the Rivera residence.”She faintly replied, “I got it.”The next day, Arabella woke up with a headache. Upon looking at the unfamiliar room, she could not recall where she was.She carefully thought back to last night’s happenings and recalled that she was brought away by John before feeling a little more relieved.She removed the

    Those who played mahjong were all Julian’s friends and knew his personality.The actions that Julian did to Arabella today, they knew what it all meant.The man who sat on the right side of Arabella was good at reading people from their body language. After Arabella left, Julian seemed to be worried, so he told the woman who sat beside him. “Follow her.”That woman, who was wearing a low-cut neckline dress, had just stood up when Julian drank the wine in one gulp and put the cup down on the table. “I will go.”Arabella walked to the washroom while supporting herself against the wall with her hands. Julian left the private lounge and followed up with quick footsteps before helping her.When they were about to reach the washroom, they bumped into a man who had just walked out of the washroom. The man in a suit apologized.Arabella waved her hand in a drunken stupor. “It’s fine.”The man in a Western suit was Daniel’s assistant, Caleb. Caleb found her voice a little familiar and glanced

    When the two of them found Julian, he was f*cking a woman in the car.Arabella and Sam each carried a bottle of mineral water. After they hid behind the trees beside the road, they planned to have a chance encounter with them when they were done with their work.This road was a little remote and few people passed by. Moreover, the sky was dark so nobody noticed the strange scene.After half an hour, the two people in the car seemed content to continue waiting. Sam gradually lost patience as he softly complained, “Why aren’t they done yet?”Arabella finished her water and threw the empty plastic bottle into the trash bin beside her. “How about you go and rush them?”Sam harrumphed. “If you think you have the capability to do it, you go.”The two people waited for a while before a woman wearing a black hip skirt got down of the car. As she walked, she seemed to be cursing. It seemed that the two of them had argued.After the woman left, Julian drove the car away. Arabella and Sam walked

    The afternoon sun was a glowing medallion as the sunlight seeped in through the curtained window and shone on the calla lily placed on the coffee table, making it look as white and clear as snow.She took her phone out of her bag and saw that there was only one missed call.She waited for about five to six minutes, but that person did not call a second time.She waited for another few minutes, but her phone never rang.She lightly hit her brain out of annoyance. She forgot that it was Daniel she was talking about and not John.In the past, whenever she threw a tantrum, John would always give way to her. As long as she did not answer her phone, he would keep calling until she was willing to answer.She forgot that Daniel and John were two different people.Be it appearance, presence, or personality, they were miles apart.Besides, she was only Daniel’s lover. She was not his girlfriend or wife, so he did not have any reason to accommodate her.She thought of a plan and made a call to h
