A strange woman gave Henry a kiss!Henry's eyeballs were on the verge of popping out. He had already noticed that this girl had thick skin, but he hadn't anticipated it being like this!"I hate it!" After giving Henry a playful glance, Maddie's face turned redder than a monkey's behind, and she hastily dashed out of the bathroom.After sprinting for a while, Maddie reached up to touch her face. It felt so hot that it seemed she was steamed.Damn! So she did that kind of thing. Alcohol has a terrible effect on her!Thinking about what she did, Julia's words suddenly echoed in Maddie's thoughts. 'Drink less because you would do ridiculous things every time you got tipsy.'Maddie covered her mouth, "That was my first kiss!" It was hard to admit, but what Julia told her about drinking less was right.After returning to the bar, Maddie looked at the waiter, "Make me a Metropolis.""Okay, Miss. Please wait for a moment."Maddie secretly glanced towards the restroom and soon saw Henry."Miss
"Stop it," Jared said darkly, but Julia didn't listen. Her hands roamed around Jared's body, making him stiffen. Without another word, he grabbed her hand and pressed her underneath him, restraining her movements. "Let go!" Julia hissed, struggling to break loose, but Jared didn't budge. After some time, she grew tired. Her eyelids trembled, and she closed her eyes, slowly falling into a deep slumber. Looking at her peaceful countenance, Jared was caught between laughter and annoyance. His body was covered in sweat, and his face was red as he tried to suppress the raging desire inside him. A helpless sigh slipped past his lips. He carefully let go of her arms and got out of bed. He strode into the bathroom and hurriedly took a cold shower to extinguish the ball of fire inside him. After showering, he donned a set of pajamas and lay beside Julia. He gently pulled her closer, feeling the steady rhythm of her heartbeat. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving just the two
"What happened?" the man uttered in confusion and turned around to check who dared to interrupt him. At that instant, he stiffened when he saw a handsome man. His face was dark, and he exuded a cold yet majestic air. The man unknowingly gulped as he noticed how impeccably dressed the man before him. Obviously, he could guess his identity wasn't ordinary. Julia ignored the man's surprised expression and looked at Jared. Her eyes narrowed as she asked, "Why are you here?""To see what my wife is doing in this kind of place," Jared intoned coldly. When his words fell, the onlookers looked at him strangely and whispered among themselves. Seeing their reactions, Jared clenched his fist. His face was covered in frost as his gaze darted to the private room where Julia had gone to. Julia followed his line of sight, and her lips twitched, seeing Jared's face clouded with gloom. She took a deep breath and explained, "Even though that creep didn't manage to harm my friend, I still have to
Julia softly gasped in surprise before glancing at the person who hugged her from behind. Her lips curled into a smile upon seeing him. "Jared," she whispered, facing him. "I'm sorry for coming here unannounced. I tried calling you, but you didn't pick up." Jared scanned his wife from her head to toe. He let out a deep sigh of relief upon realizing she wasn't hurt anywhere, his worried-stricken face lightening up. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't realize my phone was on mute." But his face tensed as his gaze darted to the group of guards who came to seize his wife. Their eyes widened in fear as he glared at them. "How dare you all come at my wife!" The guards didn't dare meet his gaze in fright. The oldest of the guards, who seemed to be their team leader, spoke up. "We're so sorry, sir. We didn't mean to hurt her. Joseph here told us that she was causing trouble. We apologize again." Jared regarded Joseph with furrowed brows. "Why is my wife causing trouble, Joseph?" "I'm so so
"What are you doing?" Jared asked in surprise, voice laced with confusion. 'Now you know that I'm up to no good. Are you going to kick me out?' Julia sneered at him with questioning eyes. She slightly backed away from Jared. "Ugh!" She groaned when she felt a twisted pain in her waist. It was over now. Her body from the waist up was in so much pain that she couldn’t move or crawl, let alone run away. As soon as the box dropped from her hand, she tried catching it, the very reason why she also toppled on the floor, the cabinet’s pointy handle slashing the skin on her waist. She used to be alone and independent. She might have managed to avoid trouble in the past, but this was her first mistake. She didn’t know how to act in such a situation.She wouldn’t blame Jared if he’d hurt her or what. As she thought of that, her gaze fell on the floor as she expected the man’s outburst. To her surprise, Jared picked her up and carried her in his arms. Her whole face crumpled in confusion a
An overwhelming embarrassment washed over Julia upon hearing Jared calling her professor. On the other hand, Jared found her shocked reaction amusing. She looked funny and cute. The president of Brooks Corporation suddenly discovered his new source of joy."Anyway—" Julia glanced at the documents and box on the floor. She had thought of hundreds of excuses she could tell Jared while he was treating her earlier. And she indeed came up with the best one."I saw something moving on top of the cabinet, so I checked it. When I moved the box, it suddenly jumped on me. That's why I dropped everything, including myself. I think it's a mouse."She felt a sense of guilt washing over her as she said those words. This man didn't deserve to be deceived."A mouse?" Jared's face wrinkled. "Next time you encounter this kind of situation, just call someone else. We're lucky you only hurt your waist. What if you hurt your head? It would have been a huge problem."'Wait. Did he really buy that lame excu
Julia burst out laughing and spitefully murmured, “Love you, my ass!”One couldn’t blame her, though. After all, Carter’s audacity was through the roof. Nonetheless, cussing him out is the best she can do, even though she wants to beat the man to a pulp.Carter frowned, his eyebrows meeting in the middle. "Julia, why did you become so vulgar? How can you talk to another person that way?" he asked."It doesn’t matter. I’m not talking to a person anyway," Julia said, raising her brows."You—" Carter took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger. He called Julia, not to argue with her, but to settle the business first. "Whatever. Do you know Hailey Richards that well?""I do,” Julia admitted.Carter shrugged, asking, "Okay, let me ask you again. Did you purposely try to fight us off in the market recently when you released your company’s new product?”"Yes, of course," Julia said, although her words were rather scarce. She didn’t know what the Ross Corporation was up to, but on the ot
"Let's just get started." After Julia finished speaking, she logged in to her social media account and joined the trend, her username bearing her legendary nickname, the divine doctor.During this time, Hailey started the live stream again with a wide smile."Everyone, don't panic with these claims floating around. Trust in this product because I can attest that it’s legit! Also…"Hailey paused, deliberately making everyone’s breathing hitch.Even Carter was on the edge of his seat despite his face looking rather calm.After five seconds, Hailey revealed, "Because this product is developed by the one and only legendary divine doctor!"The chatroom of the livestream roared. People were obviously in disbelief, and even Carter found himself standing up."What?!" he exclaimed, his expression reflecting those of his men. No one expected that the truth would be like this. Several comments filled the window, and most were surprised, and some took the liberty of questioning whether Hailey was
