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

    As the two of us were chatting, we heard a noise outside the office. It seemed the manager was in.Our colleagues were busy greeting her, wishing her Happy New Year.Originally, I didn't care about it at first but she suddenly stood at the door of my office and looked at Haick who was half squatting, "Stop hitting on her and come to the meeting room now."After that, she left in a hurry.I could tell from her voice something was seriously up.After Haick left, my colleagues came and gathered around to have a discussion.It seemed all the leaders above the middle level had been summoned to attend the meeting. Judging from the manager's expression, it seemed that something serious had happened.Everyone was discussing what the big deal was.Someone asked, "Is the company going bankrupt?"Another said mysteriously, "My uncle knows the shareholders of our company. During the New Year holidays, he said someone had bought the shares of another shareholder at a high price. I'm afraid we are

    Three days later, the company had a new boss and he would take office that day.I didn't see the mysterious boss that day but there were all sorts of rumors about him in the office.Some said he was an old man while others said he was a handsome young man.At noon, when I went to lunch, I saw some people from furniture home carrying new furniture inside. The furniture was very luxurious, including a leather sofa and a huge mahogany desk. Seeing these, I couldn't help but think of a person...But soon, I dismissed this idea.How could the new boss be Dave Mitaka? His company wasn't specialized in design at all, especially interior design. If he acquired so many companies without a valid reason, could it be he is so rich that he simply wanted to waste his money away?That day, the company had a meeting in the afternoon. It was clear that all leaders above the middle level were in the meeting but I was called over, which was a surprise to me.And after I went in, I found that Haick was

    Dave turned his head and staggered backwards a few steps.I looked up and saw the person standing in front of me at this point, "Haick."After calling out to him I felt tears well up in my eyes.He was my hero, he would always show up when I needed him the most.Glancing at me with distress, Haick took off his suit jacket and put it on me. He then turned to Dave, "Reed is my girlfriend. Stay away from her!"Dave wiped the corner of his mouth and snorted but didn't say anything.Haick picked me up in his arms and walked out of the door.Surprisingly, Dave didn't catch up with us.After I got into Haick's car, he tidied up the suit jacket on my body and checked if I was wrapped tightly then he said, "I'm sorry. I'm incompetent and I can't beat him now but are you willing to go abroad with me?""Yes."This time, I responded without hesitation.Hearing my answer, Haick spread his arms and held me in his arms, saying, "Great. You won't regret it."He was excited.I inexplicably felt a litt

    Standing at the door, Dave stared straight at the camera as if he was looking at me.He said, "Reed Defiant, I'm crazy.""What?"Hearing him say that all of a sudden, I got confused."I know I can't like you and I shouldn't but I don't know. You are always on my mind. I think I'm going crazy. I know I have done some unjustifiable things and I know acquiring your company and forcing you to be my assistant will surely make you hate me but I couldn't help it. As long as you are with me, even if you hate me to your bone, it doesn't matter..."Due to the high resolution of the video house call, I could clearly see Dave's eyes and his expression.His expression indicated regret. For a second, I placed my hand on the doorknob and felt an impulse to open the door to let him in.I didn't have to. Dave hurt me so badly. If I gave him a chance now, what was I going to say to Haick?I closed my eyes and said cruelly, "You don't love me. You just love the feeling of you not being able to have me."

    I found Haick's mother strange. It seemed she was completely different from the one I had seen on New Year's eve.I called Haick.As soon as the phone connected, I spoke up first, "Haick, how about we don't go abroad? Let's move to another city.""What's wrong?"As Haick heard my words, his tone sounded somewhat rash.I didn't want to blame everything on his mother so I said, "I just think that moving now isn't a better thing. We would be clueless in a foreign country. If we go abroad, I...""Did Dave say something to you?"Before I could finish my words, he interrupted me.There was a clear indication of anger in his voice. I was a little surprised but I denied it, "No. It has nothing to do with him.""Then I will not change my mind."Haick said firmly and hung up the call. He didn't even give me a chance to explain.This was so unlike him which startled me.It was as if he had been transformed into another person but when I thought of his mother's words, I called him back.This tim

    My heart pounded against my ribs as I took a shaky breath, trying to steady my emotions. But as I turned to face the guests, my family, my friends, and most of all, the man standing just a few steps away, my voice trembled with overwhelming emotion."This isn’t just Kim’s wedding," I finally said, my voice thick with unshed tears. "It’s mine too."Gasps filled the air, followed by a stunned silence. Then, all at once, the crowd erupted into excitement.I heard my mother’s joyful sob, saw Kelvin blinking in surprise before his face broke into a smile. Kim squeezed my hand, winking, and Desmond chuckled beside her. But my eyes weren’t on them.They were on Dave.He stood motionless for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. Then, with the help of his crutches, he began to walk toward me, determination in every step.When he finally reached my side, he lifted a hand to my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.“You’re crying,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.I laughed shakily,

    Dave surely wouldn't say no to Desmond.Seeing that Dave had personally agreed, Desmond couldn't be more joyful.Hearing Desmond's words, Dave lowered his eyes slightly. Falling silent for a moment, he didn't promise Desmond immediately.I knew what he was hesitant about.In his current situation, it was difficult for him to stand on stage. He might need a crutch.As I was about to refuse on behalf of him, Dave spoke first, "Okay, no problem.""Then I'm leaving. I won't bother you two anymore!"Hearing that Dave had agreed, Desmond left.After Desmond left, I said with some concern, "Desmond is one of us. If you are in a difficult position, tell him directly.""I know." Dave looked up at the rehabilitation equipment on the side and said, "But we agreed on this a long time ago. I can't let him down."It made sense. Desmond had always been by Dave's side.They two should have agreed on this early.Dinner was a quiet affair, but in the best way possible. The kind where words weren’t alw

    Dave and I lived in the town for a while.When we lived together, Dave would make love to me against my will with the excuse that it would be conducive to the recovery of his legs.Frequently, we didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. I was so exhausted that I didn't even know when he had gone to rehabilitation in the morning.One and a half months later, Dave's legs had recovered to a great extent. He could walk for a short distance without a crutch.On the last day of the rehabilitation training, the doctor told us in the rehabilitation room that Dave could return to the City, saying that he could finish the rest of the rehabilitation training at home.Hearing this, Dave bought flight tickets on the same day.We went back and packed up our things before setting off.The next night, Dave and I landed at the airport.After going back home, Dave and I didn't get Bryan back to our side for the time being. Dave had been quite busy because of his work.He worked overtime after m

    Teresa walked gracefully and looked at us, asking, "What happened?"She looked as if she was watching a good show. From this, I knew that she surely had been eavesdropping inside for a while and that she surely had known what had happened by this time.Having been in contact with Teresa for a long time, these people were naturally close to her.Hearing her question, everyone told her what had happened.Teresa looked at me with an unconcealable smile on her face, saying to me, "People in this town are clean and simple. How can you act the same way as you did in the City? You are a discredit here.""He gave me the key." I defended myself.Teresa surely wasn't convinced as well, saying, "Even if you are lying, you have to make up convincing lies. Everyone knows that you and I are both kept outside here. He probably doesn't even know that you are here. How would he give you the key?"As Teresa spoke, she had a smug look in her eyes.Sure enough, after she finished her words, the ones arou

    Picking up my cutlery and taking a bit of rice, I said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'll come see you every night in the future.""Why?"Hearing this, Dave was a little puzzled.I chuckled, "I won't tell you! Anyway, don't let others know that I've been here."I didn't tell him why. However, Dave was so smart. Seeing my expression, he immediately said, "You want to keep her in the dark, right?"I nodded.Since Teresa had put in so much effort to put on a show, I naturally wouldn't let her act in vain.He nodded.However, when I left, I didn't climb over the wall again. Dave found someone and gave me a key to the back door locked all year round.I left through the backdoor.The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.Teresa wore a blue and white dress with knee length today.Sitting on the opposite side of the road, she stared at the hospital door in a daze.When I went over, Teresa looked up at me and said with a hint of disdain, "I thought you were gone.""No, I didn't."There was a

    A long time seemed to have passed since we made love. However, Dave was quite familiar with my body. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked at him and said, "I want you."I rarely said so.At this moment, I knew that by seeing what I did and hearing my words, Dave could be infinitely confident.Raising his head, Dave hadunconcealable excitement in his eyes.Reaching out and pushing aside the strands of hair on my cheeks, he said, "You have me.""You have me."After he said so, the ambiguous and warm atmosphere permeated the room.By the time I opened my eyes again, day...Someone outside knocked on the door. A nurse seemed to be calling Dave to do the rehabilitation training.I looked at Dave sleeping soundly beside me with my face slightly blushed. Last night, we had been making love for a long time. Dave seemed to have inexhaustible strength. One or two hours had passed only since we went to bed.Dave, like me, heard what the nurse had said outside. Without opening his eyes, he

    After I entered the room, it was dark inside with the curtains drawn. I couldn't see anything.Wondering where Dave was, I was sure that he surely had fallen asleep.I reached out to fudge around, trying to figure out the situation inside the room.All of a sudden, I ended up touching a soft and sturdy body.I was shocked.Then, I heard Dave say, "Leave quickly. Or I'll call a bodyguard."His voice was cold and emotionless.I couldn't help but shudder.I suspected that the bodyguard had betrayed me.As I was about to say something, I heard him say, "You surely know the situation of Michaelson Group well. With a phone call from me, Michaelson Group will close down tomorrow. At that time, you may not even afford to return to the City."It turned out that he mistook me as Teresa.Sensing that he was standing, I wondered whether Dave's legs had been healed."You... ""It's me."As Dave was about to speak again, I reached out and hugged him directly.While hugging him, I touched something

    Kim picked up the call and spoke in surprise over the phone, "You are making an international call.""I have something to tell you." Looking at the desktop wallpaper on my computer screen, I thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, I learned that Teresa and Dave might have a son and that he should be about the same age as Bryan.""What?"I could strongly sense Kim's surprise over the phone so I moved the cell phone a little further away from me.Kim continued, "That's impossible. What the hell is this? Didn't he ever tell you about this?"Holding the cell phone, I shook my head, "No, I knew it yesterday. And now I'm in a mess.""Well, regarding this..." Kim said over the phone, "In my opinion, you should ask Dave about this by yourself. After all, Teresa is good at disguising herself. You don't even know whether she is telling the truth or not. Nobody knows that she, who is a high ranking socialite in the City before, is a shrew in private, right? You'd better confirm with Dave

    I looked left and right.The wall guarding the hospital was made up of ordinary brick. It was only more than two meters high. In fact, the wall couldn't be of any deterring effect at all.After thinking for a moment, I said to the bodyguard, "Since you won't let me in, I'll go. Please don't tell Dave that I've come here, okay?"The bodyguard didn't know that I probably would make other moves.If he knew, I wouldn't have any chances at all.Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.Fearing that he promised me nominally, I put my palms together devoutly and pleaded, "Please don't tell him.""Well, I won't."The bodyguard promised once again.Only after that was I rest assured.Seeing that I came out, Teresa stood at the door and looked sarcastic, "I originally thought you would be greatly respected. It turned out that you were kept outside as well."Looking at Teresa, I wasn't angry, asking, "Miss Teresa, you are a socialite in the City. I remember when we first met, you talk
