Chapter 368Opal and the other servants covered their eyes. They sensibly retired and closed the door for Harriet and Delbert.It was inappropriate for them to witness the scene, even though Delbert and Carlson didn't treat them as outsiders.In the kitchen, Delbert deepened the kiss.It was not until Harriet was out of breath that Delbert let go of her."W-What else are you up to?" Harriet's heart was flustered.Delbert picked her up and placed her on the table."I'm going to cook for you," he said, tapping her head.Harriet watched him get busy. Sure enough, a man was the most charming when he was focused.When the food was ready, Delbert carried her upstairs to the bedroom and fed her bite by bite.Harriet stared at him, touched by her tenderness.The distance between them was close, and the air in the kitchen became ambiguous.Concerned about her injury, Delbert restrained his desires.Harriet suddenly reached out her hands, threw herself into his arms, and rubbed agai
Chapter 369Since Delbert's identity had been exposed, he couldn't continue to disguise himself as Harriet's assistant and accompany her to the shareholders' meeting. It was Cory accompanying her."Madam, this is the roster for today's shareholders' meeting," Cory said, handing a document to her."Thanks!" Harriet took it but didn't open it.Although she had taken over the Munoz Group only a few days ago, she knew how many shareholders there were and how much each of them held.The double doors of the conference room were closed, and faint laughter could be heard from inside."It's already this late, and Harriet still hasn't come. Is she too scared to come without Delbert accompanying her?" said someone."Mr. Munoz, why don't we just buy Harriet's shares and let her be at ease as Mrs. Carlson?" another person suggested.Harriet's eyes glinted with coldness.These people were really cunning.She gritted her teeth and pushed open the doors. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint everyone
Chapter 370Jerry hung up the phone and picked up a pen from the table to change his vote. Then he put it in the box and spoke to Blake. "Mr. Munoz, I'm sorry."Blake was confused.Before he could figure out what was going on, another shareholder's phone started ringing.Similar things went on and on until the atmosphere in the meeting room became weird."Now, let me announce the voting results," Cory said, projecting the data onto the screen.Each ballot was certified by the legal department of the Munoz Group.On the slides, the blue bar represented Harriet's support rate, and it was 83%. The red bar represented Blake's support rate, and it was only 10%, with some abstentions."This is impossible!" Blake couldn't accept this result.He had already discussed with the other shareholders that once he became chairman, he would give them many benefits.He was so angry that he didn't even want to pretend anymore. He shouted in anger, slamming the table. "How is it possible that I
Harriet opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, another younger policeman interrupted, "Surveillance cameras around the area are under maintenance, so we can’t see the license plate or the driver right now."After the young policeman finished, Harriet sharply noticed that the older policeman gave him a glare, then he added, "Exactly, that's why it's tricky."Harriet frowned, so was she supposed to accept the result and be hit for nothing?The two policemen also noticed Harriet's stern face in silence. The atmosphere became cold in an instant in the entire reception room."Miss Harriet, please rest assured, we’ll definitely find the hit-and-run driver as soon as possible..."The older policeman said somewhat awkwardly.He sounded sincere.If it hadn't been for their eagerness to tell her that the surveillance cameras were currently under maintenance, and those at the next section's were broken, Harriet might really believe their words."Mr. Delbert, why did you su
"I know you’ll blame me."After a long silence, Delbert's deep voice came through.Harriet couldn't help but laugh, "Delbert, how can you be so adorable!"Did I say I would blame you? And you're admitting your mistake voluntarily?"Since you know you're wrong, then go home and cook for me tonight."Harriet knew that Delbert was worried about her and that was why he stepped in.She didn't want to question him and blame him outright like last time.Since Delbert could change for her sake, naturally she should also change for him.That evening, Delbert indeed agreed to Harriet's request and once again cooked dinner for her.He seemed to have a talent for everything. He had only started cooking a few times but the taste of the food he made was getting better and better.Harriet thought that it wouldn't be long before Opal and the others would be out of a job.In the kitchen, Delbert was neatly rolling up the sleeves of his white shirt. A pink apron worn over his clothes seemed
"Sweetie, of course not!"It was impossible for Delbert to upset Harriet. He quickly enveloped her in his arms and lovingly kissed her twice. "The dishes you make are the tastiest.""Then why won't you let me go?"Harriet pouted again. It seemed that big tears would fall down in a blink of her eyes.How could there be such an adorable creature like her in this world?Delbert felt extremely satisfied at this moment."You're clearly afraid I'll mess it up again, humph! I'm angry now!"Harriet stood with her arms akimbo and her lips pouted, refusing to listen to any more explanations.But how could Delbert not coax her?"Sweetie, they need to practice. These kinds of things should be done by themselves."Harriet didn't believe him at all."Liar!""It's the weekend today. You finally have time to rest. I just want you to relax.""I don’t believe it!""...""All lies!"The smile on Delbert's face widened as he gently rested his chin on her head and one hand caressed her ba
After Delbert finished his call and returned, he found that Harriet had disappeared. He figured she must have sneaked into the kitchen.However, nothing bad happened in the kitchen, so he breathed a sigh of relief."Delbert, tell you what, your cousin Trevor and his close buddy Gerard are acting strangely!"Harriet immediately pulled Delbert aside stealthily as if she had some scandalous news to share."What's wrong?""I think there's chemistry between the two of them," Harriet said with a mysterious look on her face.The term "chemistry" was usually easy to understand, but in this context, Delbert felt like he couldn't quite grasp its meaning."Harriet, what do you mean by 'chemistry' exactly?"Seeing that Delbert was clueless, Harriet decided to educate him thoroughly on what it meant to view relationships through the eyes of a fujoshi.So, she explained to Delbert as clearly and concisely as possible about the intimate interactions between people of the same sex. She also
Harriet shrugged and said, "Really, it's good."Yet their meaningful smiles only confused both men further.What was this couple up to?While the four were dining, Monica and Cory were also having a sweet time together.Today, Monica planned to take Cory to meet her brother, Trevor.But as soon as they arrived at Trevor's apartment door, they heard lively conversation inside."It must be my brother inviting friends over again," said Monica nonchalantly as she walked in with Cory's hand in hers.Unexpectedly, they were both stunned by the scene before them."Delbert... you and Harriet are here too?"Monica and Cory were taken aback by this sudden situation. Their hands not only didn't loosen but gripped each other even tighter.Then everyone at the table turned to look at them as Trevor stood up first and said, "Monica, you're back. I invited Delbert and Harriet over for a visit. Please, have a seat and join us. I cooked today."However, the next second, he saw Monica and Cor
