“Don't disturb them, Dr Owen. Don't you have tasks to complete?”A sneer flashed in Cassidy's eyes for a second before her gaze turned gentle.“How did Miss Jane convince her husband to buy all this for her?” She asked as if they were sharing a jest.Bruce shrugged. “In the Young Master's words, what is he earning money for, if not to pamper his wife? Why would he deprive her of what he can afford?”He took care to keep his volume down.“He originally restricted his budget to twenty million dollars but he didn't quite stop there… I'm not sure how much he spent in the end.”“How generous of him.” One corner of Cassidy's smile turned mocking.“He is. He's usually more conservative about spending, but not when it comes to her. Heavens, I have never seen a man splurge so much before.”If this was what love made people do, then it was scary.Cassidy's breaths were turning shallow with fury. Eager to push the image of them kissing from her mind she turned around and walked away.As Jane was
The customer service officer explained, “Our company clothes are easy to recognize because of their unique markings. Our label is never on the back of the collar but on the side of the pocket so as to not chafe the wearer's neck. Ma’am, this coat of yours is a poor quality defective good, not even a high quality imitation.”“But…” Selene sputtered, face contorted.“Hear that?” Now move aside. How about this coat? Is it real?” Ivy lifted Jane’s coat to the camera.“It is ma’am. It is currently our top trending item, but there's only one of it in the world. It is worth 1.1 million dollars. You are lucky to have it.”“Thank you for your help. I take back what I said about suing you!” Ivy hung up and raised a brow at Selene.“What are you still hanging around here for? You mocked Jane for wearing authentic goods dressed in those inferior goods of yours? Jane might not want to argue with you but I won't let you off so easily.”The truth of Selene’s malice and vanity began to settle over the
Ethan glanced at his phone and his gaze softened. “I miss her already,” he admitted. “What do you think I should do?”It had only been two hours since he last saw her. Wasn't he tired of her presence yet? Bruce had a good sense not to say that though, so he only asked tentatively, “Why don't I get someone to photograph her in secret?”Ethan took a moment to contemplate the idea. “Alright. Go ahead.”Bruce suppressed a wry smile. His Young Master never showed this side of him to anyone else. Work matters no longer concerned him, only his wife. Love was a troublesome affair indeed.####In the classroom, Jane put down her phone and prepared for her lesson.“Was that your husband?” Ivy teased her.Jean smiled shyly and nodded.Ivy sighed. Her friend was in love.“I have got to give it to you. You actually fell for a man who looks so… unique. Not to mention one who can't get it up. Science dictates that intimacy is a vital part of a relationship; you must be determined to prove them wrong
Professor Sam couldn't repress a smile. He had seen all this play out before. He could tell that Brock Davenport and Darren Leister – two of his top students – liked Jane. Her academics were not bad, but she seemed overly focused on studying; too dense to be aware of such emotional nuances. It was hard to say who would win the pretty girl's heart in the end.####After her shift ended, Jane quickly packed her things and went to look for Darren Leister. At the end of the corridor, she saw a tall, straight backed man standing by the window.Rays of sunlight bathed his face, highlighting its youthful lines. Jane quickened her steps and walked up to him. “Senior, I have a favor to ask of you.”Darren Leister looked at Jane smiling brightly, as though it were the result of the sunlight. He couldn't help but inch closer to her, their proximity filling him with a steadily growing warmth.“Go ahead. What is it?”“I want to attend the traditional medicine club to learn some skills," she said, e
Jane must have played some tricks on him for a noble man like Ethan Harrington to endure degrees and smoke of the kitchen to help her with her cooking.Jane was an efficient worker, in half an hour she had prepared three dishes and a soup. She called Cassidy and Bruce over for dinner.But Ethan said, “They already had their dinner. Come, let's eat.”“Bruce, Dr Owen, you both have eaten?” Jane asked, puzzled.Cassidy hadn't had dinner yet, but Bruce answered for her.“Yes, Young Mistress. We ate together earlier. Do enjoy your meal. Call us if you need anything.”Cassidy glared at him. She had not eaten so why would he say otherwise?Bruce shot in look, warning her not to air her grievances in front of them. Helplessly Cassidy bit her anger back and let him lead her out.####When they reached the courtyard, Bruce made sure that Jane hadn't followed them before informing her.“Dr Owen, you are still new here so you might not understand how things work out. In the future, whenever the Yo
Jane's eyes lit up. “You have to take off your clothes.”“Would you mind that?” he asked, smiling.“Of course not," she said without a trace of humor. “You are devoting yourself to the study of medicine!”He nodded, matching her seriousness. “Help me take them off then.”Jane immediately helped him take off his jacket and shirt. The light shone down on his muscles, accentuating their sculpted well-defined lines. Jane’s face turned red. Just by looking at him, she felt that something was wrong. Her husband was ill. How could he be so muscular? It didn't make sense.“Dear, you cough just from being out in the wind. How did you manage to train your muscles?”Ethan was caught off guard by her question. Had he shot himself in the foot?Ethan was about to explain himself when Jane said, “You are really self-reliant, dear. You still force yourself to train even though it's difficult. You are amazing.”He nodded in agreement.“It must be very challenging when you exercise.” Jane felt heartache
She let her eyes wander over his jaw, tilted towards the side of his chest where his heart rested. She was happy to be married to a man who doted on her. He wasn't handsome, or healthy, but he was trying to heal, and so far his treatment was going well. He was hers – as long as he was alive, he was hers. She was a lucky woman indeed.In the middle of the night, Ethan was woken up by the heat. He lifted the blanket and looked at the woman in his arms, then got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. Whenever he hugged her to sleep, he would be a little restless but his body's reaction felt off.The areas where Jane had rubbed the essential oil felt like they were on fire. He frowned. Was this the result of his wife's treatment? If so, the effects were certainly pronounced.He had to take a cold shower for more than ten minutes before he recovered. He returned to his room, not daring to hug Jane again. However, his wife was in a daze, as if she were looking for him. She rolled over
“Gone abroad for treatment?” Jane was even more worried. Last night, she had even foolishly waited for him to come back to bed. If only he had said he wasn't feeling well, she could have gone with him!“Don't worry. It will be fine.”Jane eyed her. If my husband needs treatment, Dr Owen, why aren't you with him?”A flicker danced across Cassidy's gaze and she nearly choked in her haste to explain herself.“Bruce didn't call me because he was rushing to get an air ticket. But it also means that Ethan's condition isn't too serious so he didn't have to bring me along.”Jane was relieved to hear that her husband's condition wasn't critical, but she was still very worried. She ate her breakfast listlessly, scarcely tasting her food.Cassidy took pleasure in her low spirits.“I told you Ethan will be fine, Jane. Why are you still so worried? Are you afraid that he will fool around with other women when he's gone?”Jane glanced that her and said dully, ‘What is there to be afraid of? He can't
