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

    Haick's father noticed my presence. The sadness on his face immediately turned into anger as he raised his fist, intending to hit me.Haick was startled as he flashed before me and blocked his father.Haick's father's eyes were red with anger. Although he was stopped by Haick, he scolded. "It's all because of you. You seduced my son and asked him to take you abroad! It's all because of you!""Dad, it has nothing to do with her." He pointed to me and said, "You have been seduced by her and you won't take my advice at all. When she came to our house last time, I felt she had a seductive look and that she wouldn't be someone righteous. I knew it!"."Dad, stop it!"Haick stopped his father from saying anything more but his father was getting more and more angrier.I looked at them and wondered whether the both of them were the ones I had seen during the New Year holiday.Why did they change their attitude towards me so dramatically within such a short time?Being stopped by Haick, Haick'

    Looking at her, I didn't feel happy after posting the photos, I only felt that she deserved it."Well, I've posted the photos and I'm going home to reply to the comments." I smiled and added, "In addition to this, I intend to post the photos on several popular forums so everyone can see what kind of genius the main designer of Lita Design Studio is."After that, I walked in the direction of my apartment.It was late and there was only a few people walking on the street. Although we were making such a scene, no one paid any attention us.I was familiar with the environment of the residential quarter so I got rid of Lita by taking a shortcut however, when I arrived at the entrance of the block of my apartment, Lita suddenly rushed out of the flowering shrub on the side and blocked the door with a grim smile on her face,"Reed Defiant, you can only play against me in this way but I have tens of thousands of ways to play against you!""Is that so?" I looked up at her.In fact, I believed

    As Lita was in tears, she looked like a weeping beauty.I had known early that Lita wouldn't admit it.She had worked so hard for so long just to make Dave think highly of her. In that case, how could she let him change his perception of her and think badly of her so easily? But I didn't care about this anymore. I looked at Dave beside me and asked him, "Mr. Mitaka, I wonder if you did mean what you said previously?"I was just making a bet by asking him such a question.It was not a bet on his feelings for me but a bet on his possessive desire for me.Dave looked at me with hesitation.Although I had told him what Lita had said and what she had done just now, it was obvious that he wasn't completely convinced.When Lita saw Dave's hesitation, she immediately became alert and asked, "What did he say to you?""Guess it by yourself..."I looked at Lita, curled up the corner of my mouth slightly and with my expression deliberately showing mystery."What did you tell her?"Lita raised he

    In the next few days, I had been living in Dave's apartment in Unit No.1.Although Dave asked me to sleep with him every night, he didn't have sex with me.When Dave went to work, maids would usually be around. If I didn't call them, they wouldn't come out so I took the opportunity to search inside his place but I didn't find any trace indicating Lita had visited.Could it be that although I had seen Lita show up in this residential quarter several times, she hadn't come to Dave's house?But then who did she visit here?After making sure she hadn't come to Dave's place, I decided to go out the next day to find a new work related to my field.That morning, I got up and waited for Dave to go out. However, Dave sat at home after breakfast. It seemed he didn't want to leave at all."Aren't you going to work?" I sat at the dining table across from him and asked.Dave elegantly touched the corner of his mouth with a tissue and looked at me. Unexpectedly, with a gentle expression on his face

    Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Oogway respectfully, "Dean Oogway.""Yes." Oogway nodded and asked, "How's Miss Jessica?"After Jessica was transferred here, Oogway completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Drake.As for this, I didn't raise any objections about it. Because in my opinion, the Newman Family no longer regarded her as a family member.The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffers from a low degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."Standing there, the nurse told us about the situation of Jessica roughly.Hearing the ins and outs, Kelvin looked serious on the side.Oogway asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?""Yes. But she has fallen asleep. H

    Kelvin spoke loudly over the phone.Moreover, it was pretty quiet inside the car. Oogway seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Kelvin coming over?"I nodded.Oogway immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center.""Well, sorry to trouble you."I was grateful for Oogway's attentiveness.As we were about to arrive home. I suddenly remembered something and said to Oogway, "Can you take me somewhere?""Yes, I can." Oogway nodded.I got an address online and sent it to him.Oogway immediately turned the car around and drove there with me.As he turned the car around, he raised his hand and looked at me with some displeasure, saying, "In the future, wherever you want to go, just tell me directly. You don't have to ask my opinion first. I will always be available for you."I nodded. Only after that did I tell him where I was going.It was a light and textile market selling cloth and hand made craf

    I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc

    I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another

    The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were

    Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o

    I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon

    There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,

    It was night. Even so, I could clearly feel Oogway kept staring at me closely with his pair of profound eyes.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and left.After he left, Bryan, who had been following Dave, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!""Ah... Okay." I nodded.At this moment, Jamin, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.In the blink of an eye, only the three of us were outside the house.We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Bryan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.The maid took the fireworks into the room.Holding Bryan in my arms, I said to Dave, "Then we will go back."After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Dave. Then, I heard his magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight."My heart thumped."Being here without Oogway.. Won't that mean..."In fact, I didn't want to leave a
