I hesitated. "What big boss are you talking about?" "Ms. Jones, would I ever do anything to hurt you? This is your chance!" The director was excited. "When we first spoke, I knew you were an ambitious person. Although people are becoming more and more civilized, legal education is still an importa
"Ah! Do you know each other?" The director clapped his hands. He desperately tried to smooth things over as if he was oblivious to the awkward atmosphere. "That's great! Then I don't need to make introductions. Mr. Marcus and Ms. Jones, you two have a good chat. I won't disturb you!" He nodded rep
Marcus suddenly came close to me. His face contorted with anger. He shoved me toward the two men and ordered, "Don't go too far. Just take a few intimate photos and send them to me!" Instantly, I was restrained by the two men. The one I had hit earlier glared at me with gritted teeth as if he wante
The sharp pain in my neck made every nerve in my body throb. I said coldly, "Let me go!" Marcus's expression changed rapidly. As more blood flowed from my neck, he grew increasingly worried. He became anxious. Not only was he concerned about Pete, but he also knew he could not face Nicholas if any
I figured that Jasmine's pain was likely due to her previous injury. There were surely some lingering effects after having such a serious condition. But this was not a good time for me to dwell on that now. She was so focused on her call that she did not even notice me walk by. I went to register m
"Let go!" Nicholas's annoyingly handsome face would attract too much attention. I did not want to make a scene with him at the hospital entrance. "Tell me what's wrong, and I'll let go!" I was getting irritated. He was here for Jasmine, so why was he concerned about me? "It's none of your business
I certainly had no intention of going with Nicholas. But to my surprise, he grabbed my wrist and gave me no chance to leave. He urged, "Don't keep Jasmine waiting, she needs to rest." My head was buzzing. I was practically dragged to the car. I could not believe he dared to treat me like this in f
Jasmine looked uncomfortable. "Ms. Jones, you must be joking. Nicholas and I plan to move in together when we're ready to marry." "Actually, people have been advising couples to go on trips or live together before getting married nowadays. Otherwise, how do you know if you're compatible?" I replied
Although Nicholas gave me his assurances, I still couldn't fully relax. I lay beside Tabitha, unable to fall asleep. So, I decided to search for information on childhood autism. As soon as I opened my phone, a trending topic popped up with Nicholas' name on it. The headline read, "CEO of Hawk Corp
I went to Nicholas' room to check on Tabitha. She was sleeping soundly, her cheeks flushed a rosy red.She didn't know yet that, tomorrow, she'd have to go to the hospital again instead of going to kindergarten.Other kids her age would be going to school or the amusement park, but Tabitha had to fr
Suddenly, a force pulled on my hand, startling me.My reflexive jerk knocked the bowl, making it wobble noisily against the table. The clattering sound felt louder than the pounding of our hearts."Sorry," I muttered, quickly steadying the bowl. I glanced up at Nicholas. His hand froze midair, stil
As my thoughts ran wild, I somehow drifted off to sleep in Tabitha's room. When I opened my eyes again, the sky was dark.I sat up in a panic, fumbling with the door lock before finally getting it open. The moment I stepped out, the door to the room next to mine opened as well.Nicholas stood there,
Nicholas' bright eyes dimmed instantly, a wave of dejection washing over him."I haven't eaten anything. I've been in back-to-back meetings and barely even had time for water. Can't you just keep me company?"At that moment, I felt the fragile understanding between us was once again on the verge of
I quickly got ready and waited for Nicholas to pick me up. He had called earlier, saying he'd wrapped up work early. He asked if I wanted to join him to pick up Tabitha from school.I immediately caught the hopeful tone in his voice but still turned him down.Lately, Nicholas had been eager to take
Once Tabitha finished her meal and Wendy took her to school, I finally had a bit of time to myself.I sent the prepared documents to Douglas, asking him to help arrange Tabitha's visa for Berland.Once her condition improved, I planned to take her abroad. Since Nicholas hadn't insisted on having Tab
I was filled with excitement. Ever since that argument with Nicholas, he had already begun coordinating with his medical team. Due to the sudden changes, the team had to completely revise the questions they had prepared. Since it concerned Tabitha, we didn't mind giving them a bit more time. Now,
Since that day, Tabitha had become increasingly silent.She started zoning out often, sometimes staring at me or Nicholas, sometimes focusing on random things. Every time she drifted into this state, it would last for over ten minutes.During these moments, we didn't dare to interrupt her. We could
