Haick wasn't bothered by Lita's word. He had his arm on my shoulder as he ushered me into the elevator but Dave walked out directly and blocked the entrance. He looked down at Haick and said, "Mr. Grimm, check the time. You are late..."Although Dave didn't finish his words, I knew what he wanted to do."Last night, we...""Yeah. Mr. Mitaka, I was just about to tell you I'm resigning. I'm going to pack up my things today so I won't be back to your company tomorrow."Haick interrupted me.I looked at him in surprise and wanted to ask why but he motioned me to the side, bypassed the two people in front of us, and went into the elevator.Although I dared not look into Dave's eyes, I could feel the coldness emanating from him.The fact that Dave and Lita both showed up in the hotel indicated that they probably had been here to have sex.Thinking of this, I was sad. Moreover, I felt my emotion was all over the place.It hurts again.I turned to Haick and apologized.Haick smiled and said
He accompanied me downstairs. When we got to the car, he said, "Look, I'm so popular, If you don't hurry up, I probably will be taken away by others.""Haick, I...""Well, it's a joke. Relax."Haick interrupted me but I still said, "Haick, you're so kind to me and you've sacrificed so much for me. I'm afraid that I'll never be able to pay your favor back for the rest of my life.""I'm good to you. It's my own business and it has nothing to do with you." Haick started the car and asked me, "Think about what we are going to eat later.".............................In the next few days, my colleagues knew Haick had come for me and many came to ask about him.A colleague even said to me, "Reed, if you don't say yes to Vice President Grimm, don't always keep him hanging. Make your position clear to him quickly so that we can have a chance."Haick happened to pass by when my colleague said this. He came in and said, "It's me who has been chasing after her all the time. It's good that she d
Oogway Mitaka."Help me!"When I saw him, I felt as if I had seen my savior. Seeing this scene, Oogway seemed to understand something at once. He immediately rushed over and pulled Dave's arm, saying, "Dave, let go of her.""Get out of my way." Dave held me tighter.Oogway was about the same height as Dave but his physique was not as Dave's. Even so, he blocked Dave as he said, "You're drunk. Dave, let her go or I'll call the police!""Call the police?" Dave looked up at Oogway in front of him and sneered, "Uncle, other people don't know what kind of person you are but I know who you are very well. You living next door to her, I've always wondered whether it was a coincidence but....""It is a coincidence. I was here before she moved in." Oogway cut Dave off."A coincidence?... I thought you were a dog brought back home by the Mitaka Family but I didn't expect you to be an ungrateful wolf. Get out of my way!"When I heard Dave's words, I instantly became angry. I glanced at him and
"He doesn't care about me at all." I shook my head and with a wry smile added "Living in the Mitaka Family, he always get what he wants. No one says no to him and no one dares to disobey him. He is just like this because he can't get me.""It's not just him. Everyone in the Mitaka Family is like this. After all, they were born in such a family..." Oogway lowered his eyelashes slightly as he spoke.I could see the disappointment in his eyes.I tried to comfort him. "Oogway, don't be sad. You have a family that acknowledges you, not mine."I started to talk about what I had experienced endlessly.Oogway listened and in the end, he said, "Thank you for telling me your personal affairs. It's Dave's loss that he doesn't cherish you."It was late at night. Oogway and I said goodbye to each other and went home respectively.That night, I couldn't sleep.The next day, I went to work with dark circles under my eyes. As soon as I entered the office, I saw my colleagues crowding together and g
The venue was in one of the best hotels in the City Y. If a company could hold its annual conference here, it indicated that the company was financially powerful. However, our company only booked a small banquet hall.At first, I was worried that my outfit would be too exaggerated but after I went in, I found that everyone else was dressed to the nines with exquisite makeup. Only then was I relieved.I took off my coat after getting in.Haick was the Vice President. As soon as he got in, he was called away by the manager. He asked me to tag along but I refused. After all, all the executives were by the manager's side. As a young designer, I surely would make them dissatisfied if I joined.I found a seat in the corner and sat down.As soon as I sat down, a man sat next to me.I knew who he was. He was Anthony Brahe from the Customer Service Department.As soon as Anthony sat down, he said, "Reed, you used to wear conservative outfits in the company. I didn't expect you to have such a g
Dave was infuriated when he heard my words. He increased the strength in his hand. His other hand was no longer pressing against the wall. He clung to my waist tightly with his hand and said, "As long as you say it, I won't be your brother in law. I'll be your man.""Let me go!" I tried pushing him but to no avail.I felt his lower member attached to my lower body and I felt a strong sense of danger."I miss you very much, Reed. Did you know? You are all I can think about every time since you left."Dave held me in his arms and looked up at me with strong desire in his eyes..."You're drunk..."Every time he said this, he was either sick or drunk but Dave looked at me and said word by word, "I haven't taken a single drop of wine yet."Only then did I realize I didn't smell any alcohol on him.He was completely sober.I dared not make random guesses. I looked at him, "Brother in law, then don't talk nonsense. The one you love is Lita Defiant. Never will you love me in your life. Yo
Haick started the car as soon as I sat down but I didn't overthink it.I found we were on the highway in just a few turns.Looking ahead, I noticed the toll station. "Where are we going?" I was shocked."You have no place to spend the New Year, right? I'll take you to my hometown to have fun. There are many places around my hometown where we can enjoy ourselves." Haick said as he drove."Your hometown?" I was shocked. "No need. No need. I don't have anything with me."I even wondered whether Haick was going to introduce me to his parents. I didn't bring anything with me. Nor did I bring any clothes. How could I just go there like this?Haick saw through my mind as he said, "Don't worry. I won't let you live in my house. You can stay at a hotel."I wasn't at ease but no matter what I said, Haick had no intention to drive back.I felt as if I had been tricked but I couldn't go back by myself. I had to agree that I would spend a day and go back two days later.Haick's hometown wasn't fa
Haick seemed to have said something to his parents so they didn't ask about my relationship with him.Sitting on the sofa with Haick's family, I watched the New Year Gala while enjoying fruits.After midnight, we went out and lit firecrackers together.This was the most amazing New Year's Eve I have ever had and it was all thanks to Haick that I had a chance to experience such a night.At around 2 o'clock in the morning, Haick sent me back to my hotel.After I returned to the hotel, I layed on the bed, feeling everything was unreal.Outside the hotel, the sound of firecrackers was still ongoing.The new year celebration was still on and I didn't feel lonely for the first time in a long time.I secretly thought that maybe I should simply say yes to Haick.I surely would have a happy life if I married him......................Early the next morning, Haick came to pick me up and took me out to have fun.There was an ancient town next to his hometown. Since it was the first day of the
When I saw this line of words, I finally heard footsteps.Looking up, I saw Jason on the second floor of the viewing platform with a teddy bear, which was almost as tall as him, and then he began to get down.As he walked, he said, "Alina, I like you. I know you think I'm young, but I can grow up for you. I didn't know the feeling of liking someone before, but after I have seen you and got along with you for some time, I know what it is like.""I want to see you all the time. I want to share my happiness with you at the first moment. I'm very happy as long as I can be at your side, I..."When he said this, he had already walked down. However, when he saw that I was crying, he was stunned and said nervously, "Alina, why are you crying? I..."I didn't wait for him to finish. I got angry.I stood up, walked over, and raised my hand."Pa!" A slap landed on his face. I uttered, "Boring!"Then I turned around and left.Jason quickly put down the big bear in his hand and chased after me.He
It took me about 20 minutes to get to the Viennese Restaurant.I looked at my watch and found that it was exactly seven o'clock.I stopped my car at the intersection and looked over. There was no car in the parking place of the restaurant, and several waiters were standing in a row at the door.Dave had booked the entire venue again.When I was about to start the car and move in...My phone rang.I looked down and found that it was Jason.I picked up the phone. Just as I was about to speak, it was noisy at the other end of the line and a voice came from there, "Is this Miss Alina?""What happened?"I was a little surprised because the voice on the other side of the phone was very loud as if he was very anxious.Also, that was not the voice of Jason."I'm Jason's roommate, Steve. Do you remember me?"Steve? Well, it seemed one of Jason's three roommates was called that.I admitted, "Yes.""Can you come to our school now? Something happened to Jason!" Steve said."What's wrong?"Hearing
When we got in the car, he sat in the copilot seat of my car, and I drove back.All the way, he was giggling.I looked at the rearview mirror on my right several times and saw that he was smiling. I was a little speechless and asked him, "What's wrong? Have you lost your mind because of the fever?""No, I'm just happy." Answered Jason.I shook my head, "You are really silly. How could you be happy when you are sick?"Jason said nothing.The car drove home.I went upstairs to see Bryan. Fortunately, he was not awake, so I was relieved.I watched as Jason took his medicine and took a quilt for him before I went to bed.In the next two days, Jason got injections on time before returning to school.When he was about to leave, I touched the boy's forehead to make sure that he had recovered from the fever. I also prepared a lot of ordinary medicine for him and reminded him to take pills on time.When he left, I recalled and felt I was nagging as if I were an old mother.Life still continue
"Jason," I interrupted him, "You'll have your own life in the future at last. When you meet a girl of your own, you can take her out on weekends or hang out with friends. You don't have to help me all the time. And then Bryan will be older, he can take care of himself and doesn't need others to help."I had to make it clear to him. Otherwise, I was afraid that he would go further and further on a road that should not belong to him.Jason lowered his eyes and said nothing.He turned to face the gas stove and said, "The meal is almost ready."When I looked at him, I only felt that the boy's face was blushed scarlet, and it was somewhat abnormal.That night, after dinner, Jason played with Bryan for a while. At 9:30 p.m., I brought Bryan upstairs to sleep.Bryan didn't fall asleep until I told him two extra stories.After he was asleep, I tiptoed out of his room.I thought it was time to talk to Jason. I was considering that I would not ask him to come since the winter vacation ended.W
After taking a shower, I wore his bathrobe, and Dave was only wrapped in a bath towel. He sat on the edge of the bed, hugged me, and said in a very gentle voice, "I miss you so much."When he said this, a kiss fell on my forehead.Then, he continued, "I miss you so much every day." A kiss landed between my brows."I miss you when I get up in the morning, and I miss you when I have my meetings. I miss you when I am attending a banquet. When I close my eyes, I can't fall asleep."Every time he said he missed me, he would give me a kiss.As I stood in front of him, my heart beat faster and faster.Finally, I hooked my arm around the man's neck and kissed him back. Then, I pouted and said, "Unfortunately, I don't miss you. I work hard every day and make myself very busy so that I don't have time to miss you."Hearing what I said, he was not angry, "You don't have time to miss me, but it's not that you don't miss me.""Is there any difference?""Yes, there is." Dave turned over and put me
The boy's back was wrapped in the night sky. Even if he was wearing a down jacket, he looked very thin and lonely.My car was parked in the university.Dave and I also went to the direction of the school. Dave had been holding me in his arms. When we were about to arrive at the school gate, he suddenly asked me, "You don't like him, do you?""What? ""That boy just now. The little boy who wants to fight for my woman's favors with me."There was sort of childishness in Dave's voice.I cast him a sidelong glance and wondered why he was so different today.It had been ten years since the first time I met him after I came of age. I'd never seen Dave like this before.He was too childish to describe!I said incredulously, "Dave, you really haven't been bewitched?""Yes, maybe." Dave's arms around me tightened a little more, "I think I was bewitched by you."Dave had ever been drunk before, but was he like this then?Not in my memory.Finally, we came to the car. He looked at my car and fr
Hearing this, the president looked at me and said, "Alina, please don't leave, okay?"Alas, the president is about the same age as Kelvin.As he had requested, I couldn't refuse for saving his face.I had no choice but only found an excuse, "Well, president, I'm joking with him. I'll just go to the washroom.""Then I have to go to the washroom." Dave immediately said."Then I won't go.""Oh, I suddenly don't want to go either."Dave'll say whatever I had said.The president looked at the two of us and seemed to have seen some ins and outs, "All right, you two should sit together."I had to sit back in my original seat, and Dave followed me. I sat down, and then he sat down.He tag along with me every where I went.The surrounding people were all looking at him, but he didn't mind at all.His eyes were always looking at me, and he refused to leave for a second.I kept my head down, eating without looking at him.Dave didn't seem to mind at all.During the time, people kept coming over
The principal walked up to the stage again and said, "During the anniversary this year, Mr. Mitaka of the Mitaka Group donated money and built a library for us." Hearing this, I suddenly became nervous.Thinking of the purpose of the banquet today, I had a bad feeling.Sure enough, the principal then said, "Today, Mr. Mitaka took time out of his busy schedule to come to our reciprocal banquet. For this, please applaud warmly to welcome Mr. Mitaka as he gives a speech to us on the stage!"As expected, the principal spoke in a bureaucratic tone.At this time, everyone applauded. I looked around, only to find that unexpectedly, Dave was sitting at the forefront table. And I was sitting at the most rear table.He, who was too far away from me just now, was surrounded by others. So I didn't see him.Dave slowly stepped onto the stage and took the microphone over from the headmaster, speaking to the microphone in a magnetic and pleasant voice, "Fine Arts Academy is the oldest fine arts scho
"Oh, you're right, you're right. To be trusted by a girlfriend can be more motivated!" A boy in glasses nodded."Alina, I know that you run a studio. Are you recruiting someone?""Yes! Please recruit me! I can change the light bulbs, repair the toilet, and fix the computer and the hard drive. I can even install anti virus software as well we reorganize the laptop! I'm good at dealing with people as well!""I... I... I... I got a perfect score in a French and Japanese exam. Do you need an interpreter?""Phew! Do you speak Japanese well? We know how your Japanese is better than anyone else, okay? You learned it from Japanese porn movies! Aren't they all about making love? There are no lines in them!"These three boys were indeed amazing.As long as any one of them initiated a topic, the other two could perfectly fit in the conversation.Hearing their words, I couldn't stop laughing.Sitting in the milky tea shop, I felt like I was listening to a cross talk.Time passed by quickly. Then
