"Mr. Harris, I'm very grateful that you saved me from the pool and stole my first kiss," Roxana Nelson said with a blushing face, a hint of sweat glistening on her forehead. She licked her lips and continued, biting her teeth, "Please, don't bother me again. I'm just an orphan girl with nothing, no money, only this life. Please, spare me!"

The elevator stopped on the 26th floor at that moment, and the doors opened. Richard Harris had a complex look in his eyes. He hadn't thought about her being an orphan, but her tone of voice lacked any trace of pleading. It was more like a command.

Roxana Nelson forced a hesitant laugh and prepared to leave the elevator. Well, he didn't stop her. Roxana Nelson felt satisfied, teasing him with her tongue in that fleeting moment.

Then she stepped out of the elevator. Before the doors closed, she turned back and said to Richard Harris, "Thank you again for saving my life, Mr. Harris. I hope we never meet again!"

Richard Harris was slightly taken aback.

    "What's the rush?" It was completely incomprehensible! Suddenly uttering a sentence without any context, who knows what he wants to say."Hurry up and forgive me, don't be angry anymore!" Richard Harris raised an eyebrow and casually spoke.Ah! So that's what it's about!Roxana Nelson looked at him with a hint of anticipation, intentionally avoiding eye contact and gazing out the window at the scenery. Even if she forgave him and wasn't angry anymore, she wouldn't let him know! However, deep down, she was slightly annoyed because through his apology, she could see that he wasn't a bad person after all."If you don't speak, then we'll just remain in this back-and-forth!" Richard Harris threatened, with a wicked look."Richard Harris! Don't push it too far!" Roxana Nelson's anger flared up again.Richard Harris smirked and winked, his gaze sharp and dangerous. "Speak up quickly, and I'll take you home once you're done!"Roxana Nelson defiantly turned her face away, pretending not to not

    "Ah! Roxana Nelson still feels a bit hesitant about this first destination."Oh, I want to switch to contact lenses!"The beauty queen, Hannah, commanded anyone who dared not to follow, and Roxana didn't want to lose the money she would contribute to the orphanage, where the children were waiting for her to bring this money back."Now, like this, let's choose contact lenses first and then go eat." Just seeing those bulky glasses that give others a headache, Richard realizes it's time to change. The glasses cover her face even more, hiding all the beauty on her face.Roxana Nelson pouts, showing her disagreement. "But this pair of glasses is still in good condition; throwing them away would be a waste."Richard Harris looks at her in bewilderment. This girl is nothing like the fame-seeking girls. Who still wears this type of glasses nowadays? It's ruining her beautiful face."You know how to save, don't you?" Richard Harris chuckles, not knowing what to say to her anymore.She is reluc

    Roxana Nelson tightly held her purse as she deliberated. Although she hadn't spent much of her salary this month, what would happen after she started school? She still had to pay rent, and at that time, she might end up poor again.Richard Harris ignored her words and gave her the most precious smile, captivating the saleswoman.Roxana Nelson pulled away from his large hand. "No need, I'll choose a regular pair," she insisted.She didn't want to admit that she had no money. She had a bit of pride and didn't want others to know. Specifically, she didn't want to be mocked by that group of guys!Richard Harris understood her intention and removed his wallet from his pants, placing his card on the counter. "Young lady, it has to be the best quality!" he said politely to the saleswoman.He didn't look at Roxana Nelson but only held her tiny hand. But this small gesture moved Roxana Nelson slightly.So he cared in this way as well."Enough, let me handle it," Roxana Nelson didn't want him t

    "Harris! What's wrong? Did something unpleasant happen?" Simon's handsome face, with an enchanting smile, suddenly appeared in front of Richard Harris, making him even more frightened.There was no trace of a slender hand like jade pushing forward, but Kylie immediately clung to Richard Harris. Her soft, boneless body resembled a serpent, crawling up on him, refusing to let go. Richard Harris ignored her sticking. With a wicked smile, Simon approached and caressed Kylie's face, then walked by with a mischievous tone: "Harris! Kylie has admired you for a long time!""Admire me?" Richard Harris looked at Kylie's heavily powdered face, which appeared rather unpleasant. He couldn't help but recall the natural beauty of Roxana Nelson's fair complexion. That was indeed a heavenly gift. As for those girls who constantly pampered their skin, always wearing layers of makeup, they seemed pale in comparison."Yes, it's admiration for your prestigious reputation! Don't pretend to be clueless. Eve

    "Harris! If you need capital, say it. I'm willing to invest in you without becoming a shareholder!""No need, I can handle it myself!" Richard Harris appreciated his good intentions, but if he let him invest, it wouldn't longer create his social position."Mr. Thomas is likely to leave the inheritance of the Thomas Family to you!" Simon withdrew the smile on his face and spoke earnestly. "Are you prepared for that?""Why should I? I don't care. I didn't need it before and don't want it now. And I certainly don't want it in the future." Richard Harris didn't care about that older man's wealth at all. He could donate it to charity if he didn't want to tarnish his glory. After all, there were plenty of people starving in Africa every year. It would be more meaningful to do charity work than to let Juan Thomas destroy everything. "Nhân, can I ask you for a favor?"Immediately, Simon's face lit up like a puppy, eagerly asking, "Tell me! What is it?""Don't mention Mr. Thomas before me from

    "CEO Thomas, you can't behave like this! Dragging and pulling like this, what kind of leader are you?""Hmph! Pretending to be innocent? Who would believe that? Nowadays, who criticizes money? Only fools!""Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Let me tell you, I already have a boyfriend. Chairman Thomas, please respect yourself!" Roxana Nelson thought of a way to escape the clutches of this sleazy guy and quickly leave the place."Hmph! I don't care!" He honestly had no shame, this guy.Roxana Nelson was distraught and on the verge of tears. Even her contact lenses became blurry, making it difficult to see who was before her. She let out a piercing scream, "Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Indeed, this ear-piercing scream scared Juan Thomas enough to release Roxana Nelson. However, he immediately lunged forward and grabbed the silk hem of her dress from behind."You damn bitch! Do you dare to defy me? Can't you stay still?"Roxana Nelson struggled with all her might, but Juan Thomas held o

    Roxana Nelson couldn't help but laugh along. It was her nature to be playful, after all.Richard Harris looked at her affectionately, his eyes filled with tenderness that couldn't be concealed.Wearing his clothes, Roxana Nelson suddenly felt much warmer. The rain was still drizzling, and Richard Harris quickly took her hand, leading her through the rain toward his car.In the romantic and affectionate rain, a melodic male voice echoed, clear and refreshing, ideally suited for singing. Richard Harris had a good singing voice.Richard Harris was delighted that Roxana Nelson called Juan Thomas a "duck butt." The name was imposing and accurately described Juan Thomas's characteristics. Of course, that pig always considered himself the rightful heir, the half-brother from a different mother. Upon reflection, it was likely that Mr. Thomas had some deformity, which allowed this perverted womanizer to be born.He was pleased with Roxana Nelson's endearing avoidance. He had witnessed everythi

What's the point of beating around the bush and insulting others? Truly despicable!""What?"

He learned from the previous incident that distracted driving could lead to an accident. This time, he didn't dare to take a glance, instead tightly gripping the steering wheel, his palms sweating.

    In another room on the second floor, Tom Kenneth stared blankly at the brocade box in his hand, the air filled with sadness. You were smiling ironically. Kaytly, that year you didn't say a word to leave, leave this, you must suffer a lot in these years? If I hadn't left, it wouldn't have been so soon. . . . . . Damn you are right, you still can't find our daughter, are you useless? Kaytly, you must hate me, right? Otherwise, how could you quietly leave me?

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" A middle-aged woman who opened the door looked slightly startled at this noble-dressed woman. "I'm looking for your Abbot Trovica." Son Ba Mirabel slowly opened her mouth, at any moment, she was elegant and noble, even if she did not use any tricks. “Ah, come in.

    Kaytly Blanche still remembers his injury, but before she had a chance to ask, he left. Did you just say or take me to the hospital? How do you go ahead? “Kaytly Blanche, can you really leave him?” Seeing Kaytly Blanche's urgency for Alex, Adam Kenneth was highly annoyed, especially this woman who was madly shouting at him because of that man. I've never seen her so urgent with him. “Adam Kenneth, can you not cause trouble on purpose? I just wanted to ask him a question. What do you do to notice that? Have you ever seen this stingy man." Faced with an unhappy Adam Kenneth, Kaytly Blanche glanced at him not resigned to her weakness. “Are you trying to cause trouble? Are you petty? How should you call it generous? Watch you hug each other?" "You and I are so new, but I can't stand it. I went to the hospital by myself and it was fine." “Hey, Kaytly Blanche, you stand there for me!” Adam Kenneth was so jealous that Kaytly Blanche was furious, because he was injured because he saved her, h

    "General Kenneth, I don't have the right to be dissatisfied with anyone, I'm just thinking why she has to leave suddenly, she's alone, she doesn't know where to go." Deon nKenneth finished speaking faintly, but there was anxiety between his eyebrows that he couldn't hide. "She will definitely stay in the county shrine*.Because, she won't be able to leave the orphanage with peace of mind." Adam Kenneth seemed to know Kaytly Blanche so well, his voice indeed went without saying. "Really? I'll go find her now." Deon always believed in Adam Kenneth's words with great confidence, his face was happy and he turned around. "If she doesn't want to go back, do you have to force her?" Adam Kenneth angrily glared at Deon, a little agitated, "First of all, hurry up and take care of Her Majesty, I will find a way to get her back."

Are you sure it's because of Kaytly Blanche? Following him for so many years, I have never seen him lose control because of any woman, if not for that, would I be soft or not? Don't have the courage to want to know her? Probably? He believes that Adam Kenneth loves her, he needs to be able to be by her side quietly, seeing her happy is enough.
