Girlfriend? Zelda's eyes widened in shock, not expecting Quist to utter such words. Was she mistaken? How can Quist tell her to become his girlfriend? "Your girlfriend?" Zelda tilted her neck and repeated the words while staring at Quist as if to deduce whether she was dreaming or not.Quist's expression was calm and steady as if he wasn't the one who had just dropped a shocking sentence. He raised his index and middle fingers to make out two. "For two months. We'll break up after that and tell my mom you caught me cheating." He finalized and retracted his fingers.Upon hearing this, Zelda's eyes widened. She accepted Quist's payback request because that was the only way to escape from Quist. How could Quist now tell her to become his girlfriend for two weeks? Zelda shook her head in rejection. "No. I can't. I won't." She retorted without hesitation.Upon hearing this, Quist straightened his back, a cunning glint flickering past his eyes. He took a leisurely glance at Zelda, "You can
Lotus touched her slightly bloated stomach, completely satiated. She can't help thinking that Zaire is really a perfect man; he knows how to make money, how to care for his woman, also knows how to cook, etc.; just what does she want to mention that he doesn't have a talent for?Lotus can't help thinking that her drunk and drugged legs really chose the best room to walk into that night.Zaire touched her head fondly and caressed her hair. "Baby, rest."Upon hearing Zaire's order, Lotus snapped out of her reverie, stood up, and shook her head. No, Zaire had tried for the day; she couldn't let him keep overworking and pampering her. He also deserves to be pampered. "Mr. Zaire," Lotus called seriously.Upon seeing the woman adopt a serious expression on her face, Zaire's expression became solemn and patient. His actions revealed that he was all ears.Lotus held Zaire's hand and raised her head to stare at him with a solemn expression on her face. "Mr. Zaire has done a lot. Leave it to me
Lotus yawned leisurely, rubbed her eyes, and slowly roused from sleep. Her hands subconsciously extended to the side in search of Zaire, and she found the space cold and empty, signifying that Zaire had long left the bed for his morning exercise.Lotus sat up immediately and got off the bed. She made her way to the bathroom to wash her face and do the necessities before walking out of the bathroom.Immediately, Lotus made her way to the kitchen, wanting to make a sumptuous meal for lunch.Moments later, the delicious aroma of the meals made by Lotus overwhelmed the mansion. Lotus meticulously packed the meals into a custom-made lunch box. She was about to tidy the kitchen when she felt muscular hands wrapped around her waist.Lotus turned to Zaire and threw her hands around Zaire's neck. "Good morning, boss Zaire." Lotus was greeted amidst playful giggles.Zaire pecked Lotus' nose and carefully helped her up. Lotus smoothly wrapped her legs around Zaire. "Good morning, wife," Zaire
Lotus' lips curved up, her eyes shone, and a wicked glint flickered past her eyes upon seeing the beauty in the mirror. Her beautiful eyes fell on the date, and she realized that there were just three days left until Aster's birthday.Lotus moved away from the mirror, picked up her phone, and tapped on the social media app to scroll through it. Ever since Lotus was sacked from the Meyer company and was disowned by Mr. Meyers, netizens expected that Aster would be the heir to the Meyer family property.Since the past few weeks, the netizen's discussion has become intense. Not only was their discussion about Aster's upcoming birthday, but Aster became the heir to the Ludovic family.And Aster, being the devising and scheming person she was, continuously gave the media an unclear and indirect meaning that implied that she didn't know, but she'd be the heir.Not only that, Aster kept meeting with other companies' heirs and top executives, which further stirred up the netizens and made A
Lotus leaned back on the chair and lazily cast a glance at Aster. Her lips quirk up in an indifferent smile. “What do you mean by what I'm doing here? I'm the major shareholder in the Meyer company.”Upon hearing Lotus’ response, Aster's expression changed. She could see that Lotus' arrival was meant to cause trouble.Despite Aster's chaotic thoughts, none of them were reflected on her face. She bit her lower lip and sat on the shareholder seat demurely. “It's just that I expected my elder sister to be with brother…”Before Aster could complete her statement, Ezra Meyer pushed open the door haughtily. He was about to part his lips and say a word when he saw Lotus sitting on the top chair. Ezra Meyer's expression changed, and he pointed at Lotus in fury. “You! What are you doing here? Get lost!” He berated with a cold scowl.Lotus lazily cast an indifferent gaze at Ezra Meyer and sneered. “Such a wonderful greeting, Mr. Meyer, but this isn't how a company handles superiority, is it?”
Lotus yawned and rubbed her eyes cutely. She pursed her thin lips and opened her eyes wide. Her eyes fell on the clock, and she discovered that it was 5:13 a.m.Upon recalling that the day was Astor's birthday party, Lotus' face inexplicably scrunched up. Originally, Lotus had no intention to go to Aster's birthday, but Ezra Meyer threatened her with her mother's necklace, so she had no choice but to play along with them. Lotus sleepily wrapped her hands around Zaire's neck and grumbled in his embrace, “Hubby, can I not go?” Zaire wrapped his hand around her waist and gently patted her back. “Hm.” He responded in agreement.If it was up to Zaire, he would rather Lotus not attend the party, knowing how desperate Ezra and the Meyer family are. However, Lotus refused and wanted to go just to know what Ezra Meyer had in mind.Lotus believed that going to the Meyer mansion with enough preparation would make her face their schemes confidently and, overall, get her mom's jewelry. Howev
An ambient instrumental played by a famous traditional band gently played in the background, creating a calm and serene atmosphere, which was a contrast to the liveliness, happy laughter, chatter, and glass clinking in the Meyer mansion.Warm light and high chandeliers enveloped the hall. Different flowers ranging from roses, orchids, lilies, tulips, etc. were strategically arranged in the hall, highlighting the mansion’s artistic luxury and beauty—making one's eyes linger—its scent softly teasing one's nose.Wealthy and prominent people in all sorts of industries, which included entertainment, business, etc., held glasses of expensive alcohol and interacted with each other, clearly to build more connections and familiarity and get investors.Ezra Meyer and Riley held hands sweetly.Ezra wore a matching charcoal gray suit, while Riley wore a burgundy dress that accentuated her beauty. They each held a glass of wine in hand and a warm smile plastered on their faces.They made their wa
“We are a happy family; what? Now that you have the Ludovic family behind you, the Meyer family is now worth nothing, so you look down on us.” Ezra Meyer disparaged and snorted. Upon hearing Ezra Meyer's words, Lotus' brows knitted and her eyes narrowed, not understanding what was ensuing.Lotus believed that Ezra Meyer must have threatened her to attend Aster’s birthday party because he had a plan; it can't be that she was the one who was thinking too much, can it?Lotus brushed a glance at the Meyer family, and she discovered that nothing unsightly was revealed on their face. Was she really wrong…Riley took a step forward and hung a caring smile on her face. “Lotus, I informed your father to invite you to the party, hoping to fix the family bond.” Riley softly whispered in a caring tone that unconsciously melted the heart of the guest. Lotus arched her brows, not believing Riley's words. Did they really ask her to attend just to flaunt their family care?Lotus couldn't help wonde
