Taking Turns in Love Chapter 40
Rebecca was also shocked to find Corbyn and Pearl standing outside her condo. "What are you doing here?" she said in a heavy New Jorkian accent.Pearl stepped forward and introduced herself in perfect Yinglish. However, this was pointless because Rebecca recognized them. She said with a disgusted look, "You thieves, don't show up on my doorstep. I'll call the police.""Thieves?" Corbyn arched an eyebrow unhappily. "What exactly did we steal?"Rebecca chuckled coldly. "Your company uses counterfeit teaching materials. Isn't that stealing? How despicable.""Do you have proof that we use counterfeit teaching materials?" Corbyn said. "This never happened. You may be throwing around groundless accusations based on fake news that you heard."In reality, they hadn't gotten caught for purchasing counterfeit teaching materials. Neither the Autumnverst Education Group nor the Abraham Exam Board had concrete evidence to prove it. However, Rebecca didn't need concrete evidence. She just nee

Corbyn laughed derisively. Considering Rebecca's character, he knew that she had done more immoral things besides those that he just said. However, he didn't have the luxury of time to investigate further. He could only focus on these two incidents and use the evidence to threaten Rebecca into complying. "This is the invoice for the janitorial work and a recorded testimony. On the other hand, this is the receipt for the furniture as well as an audio testimony from the furniture salesman. If necessary, they can also come here personally to provide their testimony. "Now that I have both witness statements and physical evidence, do you think I should report you directly to the police or just inform the Abraham Exam Board?"Although the 50 thousand dollar furniture and the part-time housekeeping didn't make up a huge sum, the Abraham Exam Board had a zero tolerance policy for this kind of behavior. If Corbyn really submitted the evidence he had at hand, Rebecca would definitely ge

Rebecca already promised to move forward with the contract tomorrow, so there was no point in spending any more time there.Both Pearl and Corbyn returned to the hotel. Of course, Pearl was going to get some rest, while Corbyn had to run to Dean's party.Coincidentally, the dinner party was being held at Corbyn's hotel.Corbyn always treated himself properly—he had booked himself a five-star hotel. This hotel usually hosted all sorts of high-end events, so it wasn't out of the ordinary for Dean's dinner party to be held here.To look good, Corbyn had even dolled himself up.He chose to wear a business casual suit. The exquisite light blue suit hugged his figure perfectly, highlighting his slim waist. There was an inconspicuous logo stitched into his sleeve, and he completed his outfit with a pair of classic Brogue shoes. In his smart get-up, his charming face added a hint of liveliness to offset the formalness.Seeing Corbyn show up looking like that, Liesel—who was wearing a d

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, it would feel like a scene out of a romance movie.But for Corbyn, he just wanted to scream, "I could have reached it! I could have gotten it myself! Let me do it!""How did it go? Did everything go well?" Liesel asked, approaching him.Corbyn stood up from the couch and clinked glasses with Liesel. "What a coincidence. What is Mr. Dawson doing here?""This wasn't a coincidence," Liesel said, chuckling. "When Dean found out from Xavier about the trouble you were in, he specially extended an invite to Mr. Dawson to sort out the misunderstanding."Corbyn was astounded. "Really? That's rather surprising."Corbyn didn't think that Dean would have known Wade before. But it was like Xavier said, it wouldn't be a difficult feat to use the connections at M-Global to ask Wade for a favor.Hearing Liesel mention Xavier, Corbyn had a hunch as to what happened. After he and Xavier met Dean at the cafe, Xavier must have tried enthusiastically to get close to D

With a chime, the elevator doors opened.Corbyn quickly walked out of the cramped elevator and stomped to his hotel room angrily. Dean followed behind him at a normal pace. Maybe it was because he had longer legs, but he didn't fall behind too far compared to Corbyn, who was trudging quickly.The two of them stepped into the room. Corbyn first took off the stuffy suit jacket, revealing the white shirt inside. Because of his frenzied emotions, he was sweating. His shirt was plastered to his sweat-drenched back, making it seem like a work of art.Dean stared at his lower back like a child staring at a shiny new toy—he had this uncontrollable urge to put his hand on it.However, as soon as his hand touched Corbyn's body, the latter swatted his hand away angrily with a loud smack. Dean was astonished, looking like a child who didn't know what he did wrong."What are you doing?" Corbyn roared angrily.It was the first time Dean had ever seen Corbyn get mad at him. Not knowing what t

Corbyn lost his cool. "Don't you have anything to say?"Dean regarded him innocently. "You said you didn't want to listen to what I have to say."Corbyn slammed his hand onto the table angrily. "Then you should at least come over and try to console me."Dean felt even more wronged. "You asked me to stay away."Corbyn gritted his teeth angrily. "Oh, so now you want to listen to everything I say? If I ask you to break up with me, would you do it?"Dean was stunned. At that moment, he really looked just like a statue.Corbyn finally saw a ripple in the calm ocean within Dean's eyes.This was probably the first time that Dean showed a change in emotions since they first started dating.Dean was dazed and at a loss. Seeing him like that actually gave Corbyn a sense of satisfaction."What?" Dean's voice sounded unexpectedly weak.Corbyn had never heard him speak like this before.Dean had always spoken in a flat and cold voice, like a computer, except with a more natural tone. His

After hanging up the phone, Dean sat in his office, zoning out.Since his assistant, Thomas, was pretty close to Liesel, he told her that Dean looked to be in a bad mood."Dean is in a bad mood?" Liesel was shocked."Yes!" Thomas also looked astounded.Dean's poor mood was indeed major news. After all, in the eyes of Thomas and the others, Dean didn't have emotions.It wasn't an exaggeration to say that their company could gain or lose billions of dollars in just a minute. Even the most experienced partner would show some kind of emotion during market fluctuations, and the intensity of these emotions were usually directly proportional to the volatility of the market. On the contrary, as the youngest partner in the company, Dean was actually the calmest. He was always the same person, whether he won or lost money. He gave the same reaction whether people praised him or insulted him.Dean was just like that.Thus, everyone began to joke about how Dean's AI algorithm was cutting-

Liesel sighed. She said sagely, "This kind of behavior is unacceptable. Think about it. If you let him get what he wants, then he'll continue to threaten to break up with you in the future. Would you two be able to live like that?""Could that happen?" Dean was shocked and flustered at the same time.Just hearing Corbyn mention breaking up once was enough to hurt Dean deeply. He wouldn't be able to handle it if Corbyn said this all the time.However, he didn't fully believe Liesel. As a data analyst, he would seek opinions from multiple angles.Many companies on Well's Street had their own counseling room with a team of professional therapists on duty. After all, this was a very high-stress workplace, so therapy had become a necessity.Thus, Dean went to see the therapist.The therapist was flabbergasted. After all, Dean looked like the person who could withstand pressure the most. No one would have ever thought he would see a therapist for help.However, Dean quickly made his r
