On the fifth day...When we went to the office in the morning, we found that she had placed Joshua's body at the entrance of the office building! It was unknown what kind of method she had used.Before that, Haick and I had already bought a shroud for Joshua and asked an undertaker to take care of the body.At this moment, the corpse was lying at the door. Anyone who took a look at it would be frightened.I looked at it from afar. When Joshua's wife saw me, she pounced on me as if she had gone mad and scolded, "Reed Defiant, it's you. It's you who took advantage of my husband and made him feel that he owed the company. That's why he worked hard and died!"There were a lot of onlookers around but none of them dared to approach us.As Joshua's wife rushed up to me, everyone watched on."Regarding this matter and the project, they have nothing to do with me." I explained it to her but she just wouldn't listen to me. She pulled me and burst into tears. She cried and between sobs, asked
An hour later, I arrived at the repairs and paid for the fix and maintenance.I turned on the laptop there and then and searched for the photos that Nicki had sent to me. Soon, I found them moreover, the date was still in place.To prevent me from losing them, I bought a U disk and backed up the photos.I transferred the photos to my cell phone after and sent them to Lita.In less than a minute, I received a call from Lita!"Why do you have those photos?" As soon as the call connected, Lita's enraged voice come over.It was obvious she understood why I had sent them to her.As I packed up my laptop and walked out, I took the cell phone and said to her, "If you don't want anyone to find out, don't go on with it.""No one will believe you anyway!" Although Lita said this, I could hear how shakey her voice was. After all, she was plagiarizing.Looking at the great weather, I slowly said, "Is that so? Nicki's works have very obvious personal characteristics in them. Based on the compariso
After I got home, I looked at the empty room and realized Dave hadn't been over the past few days.I suddenly wondered if he had known this kind of thing would happen. He had only come to see me for fear that I would do something harmful to Lita. He was just monitoring my movements."Are you in a bad mood?"While I was standing in the living room in a daze, I suddenly heard Oogway's voice.I turned my head and saw him standing not far behind me. I couldn't help but feel nervous, "How did you get in?" Oogway smiled and said, "It's you who had forgotten to close the door. I thought someone had broken in so I came in to have a look."Only then did I notice that the door behind him was open.I apologized to him, "Sorry. I didn't pay attention to it just now.""It's okay. As a girl, you should be careful while living on your own. Come to me if you need anything." Oogway said then he took out a business card and placed it on the shoe cabinet, "This is my business card. You can call me any
Lita didn't seem to be irritated by my words. She sat back in the office chair and said, "So what? It will only last for a while. It's just a matter of time before you will be kicked out of the Mitaka Family."Her words sounded positive and affirmative.I didn't come to chat with her randomly so I got down to the point, "Did you kill Joshua?"Lita had her coffee cup in her hand intending to take a sip. When she heard this, she paused for a second.The smart look in her eyes became an innocent one. Looking at me, she blinked and said, "Reed, what are you talking about? How can I kill someone? Take your words back."The more she behaved like this, the more I believed that Joshua's death had something to do with her!Thinking of Joshua's three children, I questioned her, "Do you know Joshua is the backbone of his family? With his dead, what should his wife and three children do?""What should they do?" Lita put down her coffee and looked out of the window, "We are living in a society wh
"Are you crazy? We are in your office!" I screamed out but Dave did not care about it at all. He pressed his thin lips against my ears and said, "This is my territory and my people are sensible."I had been pressed down on the office desk by Dave so he could have his way at his free will.After being satisfied, Dave got up and tidied up his clothes. I lay on the desk, staring at the ceiling in a daze.I was the only loser in this triangle relationship.Knock. Knock, Knock.A string of soft sounds rang from the direction of the door.I got up in fright and turned my back to the door, fearing that the person at the door would push the door open and come in. After all, my clothes had been torn by Dave.Dave roughly tidied up his clothes and went to the door. He then brought in a few bags and handed them to me.I took a look inside and saw a set of cloth as well as a box of skin care product inside.He asked me to take a bath in the lounge inside the office.I walked into his lounge.
As I looked at my favorite dishes on the table, my eyes turned red.I muttered to myself in my heart, 'Don't forget what he did to you in prison. Don't forget your child who died and don't forget that he turned a blind eye to Lita's evil deeds...'I seemed to be paralyzing myself and making myself more and more determined to go on pretending. Otherwise, the defense line I had been setting up with efforts would break down overnight.I didn't eat anything and left Mitaka Group by myself.When I came out, many employees were still enjoying their food. When they saw me, they were whispering to each other.It seemed that they had seen Dave go out just now.I couldn't care what they thought. I quickly left Mitaka Group and instead of going home, I went to an internet cafe.I printed out my resume and began job hunting.I sent my resume to different design companies one by one. By the time I was done, it was almost evening.I was so hungry that I didn't have any strength to cook at home so
About an hour later, Dave finally finished his shower. He dried his body, wrapped himself in a bath towel, and went out.After he left, I quickly took off my clothes which had been soaked wet and began to take my bath.It was not until I finished taking my shower that I noticed a very important problem.It was me who had barged into the bathroom and I didn't bring anything to get changed or my bathrobe in.The only bath towel was now on Dave's body.I wanted to go out but I was afraid Dave would be at the door.Helplessly, I could only call out Dave's name. There was no response so I figured he should be in the hall.When I let down my guard and opened the door, intending to step out, I saw Dave sitting on the bed, still wrapped in the towel.Although he was covered with a bath towel, I could cleaarly see his lower member erected.As I was about to retreat to the bathroom, Dave stepped forward, held me in his arms, and pressed me on the bed.My first reaction was to struggle. However
His words sounded cruel.His words sounded resolute."Look! You love Lita so deeply that you don't even stick to your principles yet you are entangling with me here. How come you aren't torturing me? All you do is be nice and sweet!"I raised my head and stared into Dave's black eyes, "As a woman, I just want a husband who loves me but if my husband is you, my dream will never come true...""Reed Defiant...""Mr. Mitaka, let me remind you for the last time. Lita Defiant is the culprit who killed Joshua. Joshua is just a worker and you can make up to Joshua's wife easily with money she can't earn in her lifetime. Even so, you can never change the fact that the three children have lost their father."After saying my piece, I turned to the guest bedroom.Dave Mitaka...Dave Mitaka disappointed me so much.After that day, although Dave occasionally came over, I treated him as if he were a stranger and so did he.We didn't speak to each other............................After dropping my
Looking at Bryan, I felt a heart wrenching pain. However, I didn't know how to comfort him.At this time, Jason on the side raised his hand to rub Bryan's hair and said, "Of course, your dad won't do that. Every father in the world loves his children the most. Of course, your dad surely won't abandon you.""Is it true?""It's true!" Jason nodded with certainty.He pushed the shopping cart away.Looking at the bottle of energy drink that Dave had put down, somehow, I picked it up and put it in the shopping cart.After we went back home that night, I cooked. And Jason accompanied Bryan to build Lego.Everything was as usual.Ding. Dong.Someone rang the doorbell.Jason went to open the door. I stood aside and felt a little puzzled. After all, no one would visit me.After Jason opened the door, I saw a look of surprise on his face.The next second, I saw Dave pushing him away and stepping into the room. Looking around, he saw me, went straight over, and grabbed my arm, saying, "Let's
The next day, Jason arrived with a leather suitcase.Bryan was so happy. It was also a Friday.Originally, Jason was about to leave at night. However, Bryan insisted on not letting him go. Whatever I said, he wouldn't listen to me.In the end, we couldn't persuade Bryan, so I had to let Jason stay overnight...That day seemed to be a turning point.Since that day, Jason had been living in my home. Occasionally, he would go back to school but most of the time, he lived here.I trusted him. Usually, I would leave a few hundred dollars at home and ask him to go out to the supermarket to buy things for me.What's more, after Jason stayed here on weekends, I could go to the driving school to learn to drive over the weekends, which benefited me and significantly shorten the duration of getting a driving license.Because I could go to the driving school on the weekends, I passed the vehicle driving license exam of subject three soon. After that, I made a reservation for subject four.To cel
I knew that Jason surely knew where he should have put the Lego piece. It was just that he used this method to make Bryan think on his own.The two of them were having a good time at this time. When I entered the room, neither Jason nor Bryan noticed me.Within a day, the two of them got along with each other so well. Only then did I feel that Jason was quite reliable.I changed my shoes and walked inside.Jason quickly stood up and said, "Sister Alina, let me prepare dinner for you.""No, let me do it." I looked at my watch and found that it was past six p.m. Then I said, "Go back to school now.""Okay." Jason nodded his head.Cleaning up the Lego pieces on the ground, Jason promised Bryan that he would piece the Lego with him tomorrow and left.After I finished cooking and asked Bryan to have dinner, Bryan stared at me and said, "Mom, can you pay brother Jason more so that he can accompany me longer?"I was stunned. And I immediately wondered whether Jason had asked Bryan to say s
A week later, Jason came to my house for the first time on a Monday.I got up at 7 a.m, changed my clothes, and went downstairs, planning to cook. Ding!Ding! My cell phone rang.It was a text from Jason, which read, "Sister Alina, I'm at the door of your house. If you are up, please open the door for me."I opened the door quickly.I saw Jason standing at the door in a light blue T shirt. Rolling up the sleeves to his shoulders, he revealed his skinny and yet muscular arms. With a pair of sports shorts on his lower body, a pair of sneakers, and white socks on.The morning sunlight shone on his face and shone into his eyes, making him outgoing and bright."Why did you come so early?" I was a little surprised.Jason said seriously, "Sister Scarlett told me that you are quite busy, asking me to come here to make breakfast early. After I arrived here, fearing that you hadn't woken up, I waited at the door for a while. After hearing that there was movement inside, I sent the text."For
Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing all news related to me.In the end, my life went to as peaceful as it used to be.The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.I transformed one of Judith's guest rooms into Bryan's room and got him back to my side.If Bryan went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.It just so happened that Marie found a kindergarten offering a semi boarding service for Aurelia. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Marie would pick her up and take her home on weekends.According to Marie, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Bryan there as well.Since Bryan wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time.Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.Once I beca
I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se
Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket. Look
Marie sighed, "Alina Jetson, oh, Alina Jetson. Sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Dave is so good to you. Why did you hide this from him?""I..." I turned around, "I don't want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can't always be protected by him, can I?""Are you making blind and disorderly conjectures?" Marie looked at me with a frown."Am I thinking randomly?"I didn't know what to say at the moment.Marie took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don't think too much. As Scarlett said, he's a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn't seen the press conference up till now."I knew that what Marie had said wouldn't happen.When I left, I remembered Dave's expression very clearly.He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.Scarlett shouted from the side, "Let's go have the meal quickly. I'm so hungry."Wit
At this time, Harry looked at Matt on the side, "Vice Dean Parma, it's your turn."Matt stood there with a look of embarrassment on his face.Matt was dressed in a gray blue jacket, a pair of sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, looking casual.It was as if someone had forcibly dragged him over here while he was doing his morning running.Hearing how Harry called Matt, all the reporters under the stage suddenly understood who Matt was. All of a sudden, they all aimed the cameras at him!Matt lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists. The conference room was not hot at all. But I could clearly see a layer of sweat on Matt's forehead."Vice Dean Parma?" Harry raised his voice, called out once again, and handed Matt the microphone he had used just now.This time, Matt finally moved. He raised his hand to take the microphone over and looked at the audience with a dull look. Then he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, "I'm Matt Parma. I testify that what Alina said just n
