In the end, Yvonne caved in and said yes to Amy. Besides, she still felt a little guilty about the recent counterfeit scandal.Amy was so delighted that she almost jumped out of her chair. "Ms. Miller, I love you! I'll treat you to a fabulous meal!"Looking at Yvonne's back, Boaz smiled even wider.Yvonne turned around to meet his eyes. She found him annoying. "Can you go now?""Are you chasing me away?" Boaz looked hurt.However, Yvonne was irritated at him at that moment. "Are you planning to wait for the security to escort you off?"Boaz was speechless. He had never met such a hostile woman in his life.Right at this moment, Hayden entered. With a troubled look, she reported, "Ms. Miller, Mr. Anderson is here."Before Yvonne could reply, Stephen stepped right into her office and looked at Boaz coldly. "Why are you here?"Boaz smiled politely. "What a coincidence. You're here to see Ms. Miller too."Stephen saw the smugness in Boaz's eyes and grimaced.Yvonne realized that
Instantly, the atmosphere in the room dropped to sub-zero temperatures. Stephen said nothing. Yvonne was suddenly feeling unsure too.She had long thought of how to deal with Stephen, yet when the moment arrived, her mind blanked.She was extremely depressed. She didn't know where it had gone wrong.After a moment of silence, Stephen finally said, "Do you still remember me asking you out on New Year's Eve five years ago?"Yvonne was a little stunned. "Yes?""There were things I wanted to say to you, but I could never find the chance." Stephen said calmly, "It's New Year's Eve in less than three weeks. Will you say yes to my invitation once more? I'll tell you everything then."Yvonne was a little taken aback. She couldn't make her decision at that moment, so she said with much difficulty, "I've already promised Rachel.""Just like last time, you can go see her first, then come to me later." Stephen let her go and took a step back. "I'll wait for you, no matter how late it
After William and Hazel sent Philip to the manor, they eagerly called Noah. "We've done everything. When are you arriving?""We'll see. Just stay with Grandpa for now." Noah brushed them off and found an excuse to hang up on them.Katie immediately went to him and laid on his chest. "Was it your parents?""Don't ask so many questions," Noah said coldly. He turned to place his phone on the nightstand and asked, "Are you doing anything on New Year's Eve?"Katie was surprised. "Are you planning on spending it with me?""Hmm." Noah looked at Katie gently. "I've known you for so long, but I don't think I've ever spent any holidays with you.""So you've finally realized!" Katie complained and buried herself in his arms. "You've never done it before. But I'll forgive you for asking me out this time!"Then, Katie happily chatted about different ways to celebrate New Year's, as if she were describing her perfect date.Noah listened to her silently. He placed his hand on Katie's should
Yvonne had arrived on set with Boaz following her.Amy welcomed Yvonne with a smile. "Ms. Miller, you're so punctual!"Yvonne cast Amy a curt glance. "You only know how to cause me trouble."Amy smiled. "I'm not the only one who calls the shots. This was decided by the entire marketing department. It's because you're so famous right now, so we want some of your fame. You …""Enough." Yvonne was a little irritated. If she didn't stop Amy, who knew what absurd praise the latter would come up with?Amy tugged on Yvonne's arm and asked softly, "I forgot to ask you on the phone the last time. What is going on with you and Mr. Anderson? Are you really planning to remarry?"Yvonne replied, "No. It was all his own idea.""I see …" Amy was a little disappointed. When she saw Yvonne looking at her, she immediately smiled brightly. "I'll take you to get to know the crew! They're the best in the industry!"Yvonne had just sensed that something was off when Amy took her away.Boaz remain
Yvonne stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Katie with a raised eyebrow. "Yes?"Although she seemed nonchalant, her stance overwhelmed Katie instantly.Katie was a little taken aback. She looked at Boaz. "You announced your marriage to Stephen, yet here you are getting chummy with Boaz. You sure are busy.""What are you talking about?" Amy stood up for Yvonne. "Katie, I used to be courteous because of your contributions to Muguet, but you know what you did!" Amy continued with a darkened gaze, "If you're going to continue on this way, I will no longer let you off the hook!"Katie laughed. "You're the regional CEO of Rising Sun Group. Why does it feel like you're Yvonne's bitch? Your master hasn't given out the orders yet; you can stop barking.""Watch your words," Yvonne said coldly with a sharp gaze. She merely took one step closer to Katie. But Katie was already so frightened that she stumbled backward, almost tripping over herself.Yvonne looked at her with an ambig
Ariel had depression, and she was undergoing treatment.At first, Jodie didn't want Katie to know about Ariel's condition. She thought that the fewer people knew about it, the better. However, she let Katie in on Ariel's condition after some hesitation because she was afraid that the rift between them would worsen.Jodie was secretly sending the message, so she snuck glances at Ariel from time to time. "The doctor said that what Ariel needs now is some quiet rest and medication. She can't be too agitated. Perhaps she could recover. No matter what, I really thank you for today. Only you would be willing to stand up for Ariel."Seeing Jodie's message, an idea came to Katie. She immediately replied to Jodie, "You should have told me about this earlier! I blame myself for checking in on Ariel so late!"However, Katie didn't look sorry at all. In fact, she was delighted. Ariel having depression was a good thing! The public tended to feel sorry for the weak. If this got out, it w
Katie quickly walked over to Philip, her high heels clicking behind her. "Mr. Anderson Senior, you're amazing at fishing. I've tried fishing before, but without any luck!"Philip placed the fish in a cage. He looked at her. "Who are you?""I'm Katie Jones, Noah's …" "Friend," Noah said before she could finish her sentence. He remained calm despite the furtive glances Katie was giving him.Philip looked at them. He immediately understood what was going on.Friend? What friend? She was just his secret lover. One he was too embarrassed to let everyone know about.Philip didn't want to interfere with their affairs. He feigned ignorance and said, "I see. Have fun around the manor. Make yourself at home."Seeing how polite Philip was, Katie suppressed the indignation she felt. She smiled at him. "Thank you, Mr. Anderson Senior."Philip hooked a new bait before saying to Noah, "Noah, it's not often that you bring a friend over. Why don't you give her a tour of the manor?""I'm quite
Philip hadn't been in touch with Ariel since she'd called the engagement off. He knew that Ariel needed time to deal with it, so he was giving her space.When he heard Katie mention Ariel, he was a little anxious. He asked urgently, "How is Ariel?""She's not doing well." Katie sighed. "You know how important Stephen was to Ariel. Calling off the marriage this time was a huge blow to her. I only found out about this recently from her manager. Ariel has depression. She's treating it with medication."Philip felt extremely sorry. "W—why didn't she tell me?"Katie choked up a little. "You know what Ariel is like. She bottles things up, which is why she ended up like this.""Ariel, that silly child!" Philip said anxiously, "I wanted to stand up for her, but she gave it up on her own. What can I do? Look at her now …"Philip looked at Katie once more, but no longer in disdain."You're Ariel's friend. Please take good care of her. If you can, ask her if she's willing to come and see
