Marie stood at the door as I rushed into the room at lightning speed.I picked up my cell phone, glanced at Dave who was still sitting at the dining table with a pale look on his face, then ssaid, "Mr. Mitaka, Marie and I will go out first. Please help me close the door when you leave."After that, I pulled Marie away.After walking for a while, we sat down beside a small pavilion at the side.The pavilion was supported with a few pieces of wood and a white gauze curtain was hung around it. As we sat inside, the breeze blew gently, making the gauze curtain sway along with the wind.Marie asked, "Mr. Mitaka is so good to you. Why are you running from him?""I don't deserve it."I lowered my head."I think you don't know how to cherish the blessings endowed on you." Marie squinted at me with some envy in her eyes, "In the past, our colleagues often talked about how handsome Mr. Mitaka was, how rich he was, and how happy the woman marrying him would be. At that time, I didn't think that
The one who had splashed the basin of water on Marie was no other than Trish. After she was done with the water, she shouted, "Marie Drew, why are you so shameless?""Are you alright, Marie?"I knew something was up so I didn't bother to pay attention to Trish as I continued to wrap up Marie with the clothes.Marie seemed to have sobered up a little.She stood still, looked around, and touched her body. After, she looked at me beside her. Opening her eyes wide, she asked, "What, what's wrong with me?""I don't know. Go back to my room with me first."As I said this, I was about to take her back to my room.Dee also came in with five to six bodyguards. Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mitaka. I'm late. Are you okay?"Dave stood by the side with a calm look on his face as he patted his clothes with his hands. He then glanced at Marie, saying in a bad mood, "Check what's going on with her."Dee glanced at her and immediately said, "Got it!"I wanted
Marie shook her head repeatedly after seeing my draft.She pointed out a lot of problems to me.Instead of beating around the bush, she was very straightforward.Listening to her, I hoped I could go back to college and restudy designs.After she finished her words, I said with a sad look on my face, "How about I give up the finals?"I didn't have any hopes of getting a good design.Marie raised her hands and touched my hair. She then said with a smile, "It's alright. I am here with you. There is nothing to be worried about.""You? I am not letting you do my design for me."Her words reminded me of Trish's words.Haick had enlightened me on my work for the preliminary contest and when it came to my work for the second round, it got dramatic. I have to rely on myself in the final round. It didn't matter to me even if I couldn't get any prize.Marie burst into laughter, "Who said I was going to do your design for you? I'm just saying you got me so there's nothing to be worried about."I
"Don't! Don't insert it!"It would be a nightmare for me.Sweat trickled down my forehead.Looking at Dave's hand holding the USB drive, I was afraid he would be impulsive."Get some rest then. You'll also have to get to bed before 12.am from tomorrow." Dave looked at me with a cold gaze as he spoke."But...""Huh?"I wanted to refute but Dave moved the USB drive towards my laptop. I was so scared that I layed back down on bed. "I'm going to sleep! I'm going to sleep! Don't be impulsive!" I thought o myself, 'I'll pretend to be sleeping. When he goes then I will continue my work.'Sure enough, when Dave saw me lying down, he nodded with satisfaction, turned off the light and left.I listened quietly to the movement at the door. After confirming he had left, I climbed out of bed quietly.I tiptoed and turned my laptop back on.When the software was loading and I was planning to get back to my work...Crack.The door opened.I saw Dave standing at the door with a small bag in hand.He
Before I could get to the dinning hall, someone suddenly grabbed me with a strong force and said, "Why didn't you wait for me?"He pulled me towards the opposite direction."Let me go!"Dave gave me a light look, "If you want to attract the others here, continue shouting."His words made me shut up.He took me into the courtyard of the resort and I was surprised to see people guarding there.This was a secluded part of the resort and we were asked not to wander around here. It turned out Dave was living here.Dave took me to a small dining hall and three waiters came over to serve us.Throughout breakfast, I was busy enjoying my food and didn't say a word to Dave but his face was gloomy. He also didn't intend to talk to me.After breakfast, I made up my mind to get back to my work. Since I couldn't do my work at night, I had to work on it during the day.I said to Dave, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first.""I've asked Dee to get your laptop. You can work here."As
I went to the dining hall alone the next day.When I arrived at the corridor of the dining hall, I happened to see Dee. Thinking of Marie's issue, I stopped him and asked why Marie had quit the competition and how the investigation about the issue was going.Dee shook his head helplessly, "Before Marie left, I had a talk with her. She didn't have any clue who harmed her and the monitor didn't show any suspicious scenes.""Why did you allow her quit the competition? Someone had definitely planned that to get her out of the competition."I didn't mention Trish but as long as Dee was clear about the strength of the contestants in this competition, he should know who I was referring to.Dee looked up at me, "Miss Defiant, I know you have a good relationship with Marie but you'd better not speculate randomly without any solid evidence.""But you shouldn't have let Marie withdraw from the competition!""It was Marie who wanted to withdraw from the competition. I did advised her but accordin
Her reaction was the best evidence.Although Trish was usually arrogant, I found out from the plagiarism incident last time that as long as I poked her where she hurt, she would lose her self control.As we were quarreling, Dee kindly asked on the side, "Miss Trish, it's almost 12 o'clock. Do you still need to back up your work?""Yeah. I've modified my work so I have to back it up again." Trish said as she took out a U disk and began to back up her work.I stood next to her and said to Dee, "Assistant Dee, I have to tell you something specifically. Last time, when you were not there, my work was the same as hers. Later, it was proven that she had copied my work. This time, if there are any conflicts between her work and mine again, remember she revised her work after I submitted mine.""What do you mean? I won't care to copy your work!"Hearing my words, Trish became anxious.I glanced at her and said, "I didn't say you surely would plagiarize my work. Why are you so anxious? Are you
"Grandma?" Lita didn't expect me to ask about Judith's situation directly. After thinking for a while, she said, "She is still the same. At first, aunt agreed to turn off her breathing machine but now she said we shouldn't do so. It's strange."Comfort did what I had said.Trish sat in front of me. Seeing Lita talking cheerfully with me, she came over and said in a moderate voice, "She has been living with Mr. Mitaka since."Lita was talking to me happily however after hearing Trish's words, she immediately became fierce, "Don't talk nonsense. Reed isn't such a person.""Are you sure? She has been living with Mr. Mitaka over the past two weeks. They are so intimate and close."After Trish said that, the others echoed, "Yes, we also saw."Lita looked at me and the look on her face indicated that she was a little embarrassed.Trish and others talked about the things that had happened over these days in an even more exaggerated tone as they voiced out in a tone audible to just Lita and
At the mention of Teresa, Finn's attitude was different from Katy's. He seemed to have no idea about Teresa's heartlessness.He looked at me and said, "Reed, it was my fault. I shouldn't have flirted with Jessica because I was married. But, but I really couldn't control myself. During that ime, I really loved her, even now I..."Finn didn't go on, but his face was full of regret.I narrowed my eyes and looked at him. Then I sneered, Mr. Finn, do you have a dead brain? Or do you have a bad memory? A few months ago, you dropped a card and said you wanted to draw a line to keep your distant from us. Don't you remember?""You cheated my mother's feelings and took her to the City. She was a healthy person before, but she was driven crazy by your wife, who is a vixen. The Newman family didn't accept her, and I grew up in a family that didn't love me. How can you be so shameless to call me daughter?"Originally, my mood was very calm. Looking at Finn, I felt like I was watching his play. How
Pigs might fly. Katy came to meet me!When I saw her, I didn't think much and turned to leave. Katy saw me and rushed out, "Alina, I'm here for you."Her voice was loud, and several colleagues looked over. However, I had no intention of entering the meeting room. Standing at the door, I looked at her with a little vigilance and sked, "Mrs. Katy, I don't think I have anything to do with you. What can I do for you?"Looking at my attitude, Katy was not angry at all. She said with a smile, "Come in. I have something to tell you.""Let's talk about it here. After all, we haven't gotten on well before. What if you hit yourself and blame it on me?" I said.There was CCTV in the conference room but I said so on purpose.In fact, I am not afraid that Katy will hit me. I am afraid that I can't help hitting her.Hearing this, Katy was a little embarrassed."No, no, come in, I'll only talk with you." She seemed to be afraid that I wouldn't go in, so she added, "Do I have to beg you."Beg me?
Bryan had been treated for a week.The fever had also subsided, and his vitals had also stabilized.These days, it's Janice who delivered food to me and Bryan.Today, Janice sent food again. There were vegetables, ribs, fish soup, and rice.Bryan's appetite recovered well, and he ate a big bowl of food in a short time.After the meal, I found that the weather outside was good, so I wanted to check with the doctor to see if I could take Bryan out for a walk.The doctor checked Bryan and agreed.Janice went to the backyard of the hospital with me.There was a small garden in the backyard, surrounded by many benches. Other patients were sitting on benches, basking in the sun."Miss Jetson."When I was walking with Bryan, someone called me from behind.I looked back and saw that it was Eunice."Miss Eunice?"I was a little surprised, so I quickly let Janice take care of Bryan and walked over to Eunice.Eunice wore a cloth hat. I could see at a glance that there seemed to be no hair under
Desmond's face turned pale. "No, that was before I met you, I really haven't messed with anyone since I met you, I swear...""Really? I've seen several of them. Next time, if you want to deceive me, make drafts first."Kim's face was full of mockery.I could see Desmond was sweating. Не showed a pleasing smile on his face, put his palms together and winked at me.I knew that he was asking me to help.I tugged at Kim's arm and said, "Alright, a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. Forgive him for the mistakes he made before.""That's right! They are previous mistakes!" Hearing my words, Desmond immediately cast a grateful look at me.He also put on an expression of gratitude.Kim couldn't stand it. She looked at Desmond and said, "I forgive you because my Reed said to. If you dare to do it again, I'll break your leg!""Which one?""Both!""I don't dare, I won't!"They left joking.I watched them get into the elevator. I felt half of my worries had been put to rest.The othe
I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young. I can distinguish what I am obsessed with."Although he didn't look at me, I could tell from his expression that he was serious.Which made me sure that what he had clung to was really not like what I thought.I also followed his gaze and looked into the ward.In the ward, Bryan was looking at us.When he found that I was looking at him, he forced a smile and waved at me.I waved back.When I thought of Bryan being fine soon, my heart, which had been hanging, gradually relieved.Oogway must have seen our interaction, so he let out a chuckle.When I turned my head to look at him, he happened to look at me as well.He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Do you know why Dave agreed to marry the Defiant Family?"I was a little confused by him for mentioning this.Oogway saw through my doubts and continued, "Because I found Lita and told her about what happe
Oogway looked at me, and his eyes were cold.For the sake of Bryan, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me."Oogway looked at me saying nothing.I didn't know what he meant.I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next.What else does he want me to do?My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything that could happen.After a while, Oogway put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said, "Let's go.""OK!"I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him.We sat in his car together.The smell of alcohol lingered in his car.I was a little embarrassed but I didn't say anything.Oogway started the car and drove out of the community.The car drove for a while before I noticed that it didn't seem to be heading toward the City Hall, so I got nervous again and looked at Oogway, "Where are we going?""To pick up Bryan."He kept his eyes on the road as
Oogway picked me up and carried me into the car. I looked at him as he started the engine. I grabbed his arm and said, "I don't want to go home.""You don't?" He raised his eyebrows slightly."If I go back like this, they will be worried. Please help me... Call Kelvin and tell him I'll not go home today."I was so drunk. They will be worried about me if I went back. After all, I would not drink for no reason.Oogway nodded. I sat in the passenger seat and listened to him call Kelvin.When he hung up, he handed me the phone and started the car, "Is it okay to go to our home?"Our home?Oh, I know where it is.I nodded.I was going to be his wife anyway. That place was going to be our home in the future.I wouldn't be able to escape the reality.After a while, I fell asleep dazedly. However, maybe it was because I was in Oogway' car, I didn't sleep too deep.Not knowing how long had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me.It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my e
In the evening, even the most prosperous place in the City was quiet. Around the high office buildings, there were only a few lights that were still on.I drove to the gate of Mitaka Group.I got out of the car and went to the entrance.The entrance had been closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard came over and said, "It's closed."I looked up at the large building, except for the security room lights being on, the whole building was all dark.It seemed that Towering High was very kind to the employees, and there was not even a person working overtime.I didn't know what I wanted to do here. I hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.Back in the car, I continued driving.Finally, I found a lively place.On both sides of the road, rows of luxury cars were parked. At the entrance, the young men and women dressed in various kinds of clothes were chatting at the door, and some people were vomiting in the tree pits.Liquor.I wanted to drink.Perhaps if I was drunk, I would
Oogway put his arm around my waist and said to Teresa, "Miss Teresa, you are also a famous lady in this City. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Alina. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing for?"He made Teresa's face turn pale in a few words.She stared at Oogway and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says? Tell you what, Oogway, she and Dave love each other no matter where they are!""Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"Oogway asked her.Teresa looked at Oogway and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"Hearing what Teresa said, Oogway's face was still calm.He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table, looked at Teresa and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"Teresa suddenly became speech
