As his plan was exposed, James said helplessly, "Summie, you have grown smarter.""That's right! Wait, no ... I've always been smart. Anyway, did you hear me? You are not allowed to send anyone to follow me," Summer said resolutely."I understand. I won't."Now that the matter was settled, Summer successfully retrieved her freedom. It was just in time to meet her high school best friend whom she hadn't seen in a year. She had missed her dearly, and now, she was ready to take a taxi to her date.Just when she was heading out of the office, James stopped her. "Wait a minute, Summie."Arching an eyebrow, Summer wondered what else he wanted to say to her. Unexpectedly, James fished out a deep blue crystal bracelet from the drawer of his desk. The bracelet was dazzling under the lights. One could tell from its clear crystals that it was luxurious.Actually, anything given by James had to be valuable. He put the bracelet on Summer's wrist and said, "I bought this for you yesterday. I

Kelly said, "Summie, do you remember our geography teacher? She's married now!""No way! She's nearly 50 years old and just getting married now?""I know, right? Everyone thought she would stay a single, grumpy old lady all her life, but she actually got married!" Kelly spoke cheerfully.Between her and Summer, there were many stories worth reminiscing about. For instance, they used to skip classes to go shopping, gossip about a hot guy in their dorm, and burn the midnight oil in the bathroom to study for exams. Those were the most interesting memories of their youth.Time was such a wonderful thing. In the past eight years, the two girls have grown into women. They had changed out of their school uniforms and into high heels and long skirts. They were no longer naïve but independent and mature.Now that they finally met up, Summer remembered something she wanted to ask apart from their old memories. And that was Kelly's love life."Kelly, are you still single?" In Summer's mind,

However, this was Kelly, her best friend. Summer had no intention of hiding the truth from her, so she announced, "I'm already married.""Oh … What? You're married?" Kelly was astonished after processing the news. She never expected that Summer would suddenly drop the bomb about her marriage, especially because she had just recently broken up with Hank. It seemed like things were moving too fast."Summie, don't tell me you blindly married a stranger. You shouldn't do that. You're such an excellent girl. Don't settle for those scumbags.""Hey, what kind of person do you think I am?" Summer understood what she meant. Kelly probably thought that to mend her feelings and fill the void from her breakup, she had found a random man to marry.Summer would never do anything so foolish. Although marrying someone she didn't love wasn't her ideal scenario, she hadn't done it on impulse."Kelly, don't worry. My husband is very good to me.""That's not my point. You have no feelings for him. H

"Fuck off!" Summer was enraged that Kelly would jinx her marriage when she had only just gotten married.Regardless, she wondered if James really was that desirable. There was no denying that the man was outstanding, but Summer didn't think he was charming to that extent.Anyway, Summer needed to talk some sense into Kelly. She said with a serious look, "Listen, you should start dating. You are not young anymore.""Hey, it's not like I don't want to. My suitors are all scumbags. While the excellent ones are mostly playboys, the dedicated ones don't have much to offer. Who do you want me to choose?" Kelly whined about her troubles.Back then, she had truly wanted to concentrate on nothing but her studies. But after graduating, she realized that it was too late for her to find a proper partner. All the fine men were taken, leaving behind mostly bachelors and playboys with poor conditions."Summie, it would be great if I could meet a man like James. I heard that he is devoted and doe

Coincidentally, Summer knew of a bar nearby. Back when she worked at Charter Corporation, she often drank there with her clients.Walking through the bustling streets, the two arrived at the bar. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by passionate, loud DJ music. People were grooving on the dance floor, and the smell of alcohol permeated the lively atmosphere. Summer found an empty table and sat down. After ordering two Bloody Mary cocktails, they clinked their glasses and started drinking. Halfway through the glass, the taste of the alcohol spread in her mouth while the fragrant taste flowed down her throat and into her stomach."How is it, Kelly? Isn't this place nice?""It is," Kelly replied. Then, she ordered a few more cocktails with strong alcohol, along with a bunch of snacks."Come on, Summie, we won't go home tonight until we get drunk. We must have a good time."As they hadn’t seen each other in a long time, they had to seize the opportunity to enjoy themselves. O

With a shove, the man pushed Summer onto the sofa. He then raised his hands, resembling a starving wolf ready to pounce on her."Help!" At a loss, Summer could only scream for help. Suddenly, she deeply regretted her decision to have James remove her bodyguards. If she had known something like this would happen, she would have listened to James' advice.But regret was useless now. The bar was filled with deafening music, which drowned out Summer's cry for help. Faced with three powerful men, she had no way to fight back.Amid her despair, James' face appeared in Summer's mind. If he were there, he would effortlessly get rid of these men. However, it was only a fleeting thought. He was probably still occupied with work at Quigley Group. The man got closer and closer. His eyes flickered with greed and coupled with his perverse smile, he looked incredibly ferocious. Summer was not willing to give up, so she pushed the man's body away from her. "Go away, go away!" Summer yelled de

As James had handled the situation, Summer felt relieved and soon fainted.The next morning, her vision cleared as she opened her eyes. She found herself back in the apartment, where everything around her was as before. The sunlight cast gentle warmth on her skin.Sitting up in the bed, Summer rubbed her temples. She recalled what had transpired the night before. She remembered being attacked by three men at the bar, and James showing up in time to save her. He had probably brought her back to the apartment.While she was deep in thought, a voice came from outside the door. "Summie, are you awake?"It was James. He knocked on the door before pushing it open. Dressed in a sharp suit, he carried a bowl of soup and sat next to Summer's bed.Normally, at this hour, James would have already returned to work at his company. Now that he was still in the apartment, it meant he had taken leave to look after her.This was rare, as James was a well-known workaholic who would dedicate 16 hou

No wonder James had known Summer's precise whereabouts. It turned out to be the bracelet's fault."Hmph, didn't I tell you not to follow me? You're violating my freedom!" Summer accused angrily. While safety was important, freedom was even more precious. Now that she was constantly under James' surveillance, she felt like a caged bird. This was contrary to the agreement they had made.James argued, "Without the bracelet, what do you think would've happened?"Without the blue crystal bracelet, both Summer and Kelly would have been assaulted by the three vicious men at the bar. The consequences would've been unimaginable.Summer knew that she was in the wrong for asking him to reduce her security. However, it wasn't an excuse to restrict her freedom.Summer replied, "So I should thank you? That's right. You are the president of Quigley Group, and you are superior. You are always right. A useless girl like me should be protected and followed by bodyguards all the time!”James coul
