The car started moving. Blake felt highly uneasy. When she got into the car just now, she could immediately sense a pressure that made her feel suffocated and unable to speak. She anxiously lowered her head and did not dare to speak.She thought, 'Until I officially leave the Jardin Corporation, I'm still their employee.'Blake then recalled the disdainful look she gave Kevin earlier and pondered, 'Honestly, no one's as petty as he is. If someone says or does something he doesn't like, he'll react strongly and just bully them.'Is he here for revenge?'The atmosphere remained tense. Blake felt very uncomfortable in this strange silence. After a while, she smelled a mint fragrance which temporarily eased her nerves.She noticed a bottle of air freshener placed under the windshield. Her eyes lit up immediately, "Oh, Mr. Harrison, you're using this cologne too? I recommended this to you last time. This product smells great, doesn't it?"The car stopped at the red light. Kevin remain
Blake continued to say, "The annual salary of the design department's head isn't even as much as Xander's monthly income from his novel."Kevin said, "Enough!" He suddenly yelled sternly.Blake was frightened and immediately kept quiet. She did not take it personally as she was used to being scolded.Their brief conversation ended.She shrugged and chose to quietly use her phone.Upon reaching Blake's residential area, Blake, who was engrossed in the recently updated novel, took out some money from her wallet and put it down, "Thank you for driving me back! Consider this money as the fare."After she left the money, she continued to pay full attention to her phone. She opened the car door and left."Blake Dion!"Kevin suddenly called her. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and seemed to be contemplating something.Blake turned around to look at him, "Yes?"Kevin rolled down the car window and said, "Be my girlfriend."Blake was surprised.She froze and her pupils gradual
Blake did not receive a response from Kevin after sending him that text.She seemed bewitched as she held her phone, staring at it.After two minutes passed without receiving a reply from Kevin, Blake then lay on the sofa staring at the ceiling above. She put her phone on her chest. She could not understand why Kevin would ask her to be her girlfriend.She acknowledged that she could not resist the allure of someone like Kevin. Every girl in the company would be happy for the entire day just from exchanging a few words with him.All the female employees in the company were attracted to Kevin, but he was always focused on work. Blake rarely saw him engage in any non-work-related activities. Not only was Kevin very good-looking, but his income was also said to be three times that of the company's top executives.His cold personality was his only flaw.His cold demeanor made everyone feel he was not easily approachable. Previously, there had been a very beautiful intern at Jardin Co
After she sent the text, Kevin did not reply to her again.Blake came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She held her phone and went back to her room. She then unlocked her phone and found that Kevin still had not replied. She was upset. She stared at her phone and complained, "Come on, can't you be a little proactive?!"Forget it, I'll sleep now."She rolled around on her bed with her eyes closed, unable to sleep. She would occasionally open her eyes to look at her phone.She then started staring at the conversation with Kevin. She finally checked the time, and it was three-thirty in the morning. She could not take it anymore. She sat up and rubbed her scalp, "I'm going to go crazy. Why did I agree to be your girlfriend?!"I'm just bringing trouble to myself!"Blake angrily typed: [Let's break up. You find someone else to be your girlfriend!]But before she could send the message, she received a text.Kevin texted: [I just finished work. I'm going to sleep now.]Blake
Blake checked the time and saw it was nine o'clock in the morning. She closed her eyes lying down as she said, "I'll take a short nap for half an hour. Wake me up if there's something!"As soon as she finished saying that, Kevin, dressed in a black suit, walked into the office. He was holding a stack of documents with one hand and the other tucked in his pocket.Blake had fallen asleep by the time Kevin entered the office. She heard nothing but the faint sound of footsteps.Kevin's presence usually set everyone in the entire secretary's office on edge, except for Blake. Only she dared to nap during working hours.Blake's colleagues were amazed that she was not afraid even though Kevin was in the office. Since Blake was under Cecilia, the others believed that despite Blake's position in the secretary's office, she shared a certain level of authority with Kevin.The staff in the secretary's office found Cecilia was as scary as Zach. They sympathized with Blake as she bore the brunt
At the tranquil company garden, Blake asked, "Liam, why are you here? How'd you even find me?"Liam's sudden arrival was not just a pleasant surprise but more of a shock to her.He lowered his eyes to look at her and admitted, "I searched for your company's address online, and I texted you. But you didn't reply."Blake glanced at her phone and saw a message and a missed call.She responded, "Oh, I'm sorry! I was napping when you called me. And I forgot that I've muted my phone."Blake changed topics. "By the way, have you eaten? How about I treat you to a meal?"Liam replied, "I brought food for you."Blake was surprised, "What's this?"Liam said, "I made it myself."Blake took a deep breath, "You cooked?"Liam maintained his smile as he said, "I made it according to your preference. Since you like spicy food, I made some spicy buffalo wings that you like."Blake loved food more than anything. She was a little moved upon hearing what he said. She thought, 'He must be interes
Blake returned to the office fifteen minutes before she had to resume working.She lowered her head and texted Liam, [Although our blind date didn't work out, we can still be friends. I'm sure you'll find someone even better.[Also, thank you for the lunch today. The food you made was delicious. But you don't need to trouble yourself again in the future.]Liam replied very quickly, [Is he good to you?]Blake pondered a few seconds. When she recalled what happened during lunchtime, she was jealous. 'Not good at all,' she thought before replying, [Not exactly good. But that's who he is. He's distant, rigid, and a workaholic.[Just now, he even scolded me for sitting in his chair. He was so fierce when I asked him to have lunch with me.]Liam asked, [Why do you like him then?]Blake responded, [It's complicated. You overlook flaws when you like someone.]Blake was walking and suddenly bumped into someone. She hit her forehead on something hard, and it was painful. Her phone clatte
Blake asked, "Did that really happen? Why didn't I know about it?"Janice responded, "It was during your business trip. You weren't here during that time."Blake thought, 'I was away that time. I didn't expect a cold man like him would actually defend me. It's really a pleasant surprise.'Blake leisurely tapped her fingers on the desk and said confidently, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare cross me."Janice asked, "Why's that? Does he still want you to be his assistant?"Blake chuckled, "I'm not telling you."She then grabbed her phone and went to the washroom. She sat on the toilet and texted Kevin after pondering for a while.Blake texted, [Can you keep an eye on your new assistant? It's obvious that she's deliberately targeting me.]Two minutes later, Blake thought, 'Why hasn't he replied to me yet?'Kevin replied, [Is she wrong? What were you doing during working hours? If you have nothing to do, find something to keep yourself busy.]Upon seeing his reply, Blake furiously s
