All the luxury brands that Heloise knows, and even those she doesn't know, are present in the parking lot before her.
Each car is different, with a variety of colors, styles, and limited editions, all equipped with exclusive parking care teams.
It's like a world-class luxury car exhibition here.
Heloise stood there, suddenly handed a transparent jar.
When she picked it up and looked inside, she was surprised to find the gift Reginald had given her before—a jar of car keys.
"No need to agonize over which car to choose. Just pick one up and press it, and the one that lights up is the one."
Reginald stood by, one hand in his pocket, his deep eyes staring at her, his thin lips curved with a hint of a smile.
The selection process for tycoons is indeed simple and straightforward.
"Are you really going to teach me how to drive?" Heloise looked at him as she held the jar.
If she learned to drive, would he no longer worry a
His face turned deathly pale.He reached out to put the car in neutral, glanced at her, gritted his teeth, "Heloise!""Sorry." Heloise felt a bit embarrassed. "I didn't know the sports car accelerates so quickly."Stepped on the gas too hard.Reginald stared at her."Does it hurt a lot?" Heloise's gaze fell on his shoulder, feeling somewhat guilty."Take a look." Reginald commanded.Heloise unbuckled her seatbelt and then his. His buttons were a bit tight, so she lifted his black shirt from below and brushed it upwards. Her soft fingertips grazed over the belt, gliding over his back bone.Reginald's breath hitched, glancing at her from the side.Heloise looked at the gauze around his shoulder blade and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not too bad.""It hurts." Reginald stared at her.Heloise raised her gaze, locking into his deep eyes. "Shall I call Doctor Phillips?"If she had known, she wouldn't ha
Reginald fell asleep halfway through her drive, never waking up along the way, which could be considered indirect approval of her driving skills.He adjusted the seatback to a comfortable position, propped his head with one hand, his handsome face angular and sharp, his features chiseled. Although his brows remained sharp, with those eyes closed, the ones that could suffocate a person, his whole face seemed to lose several notches of ferocity.He was sound asleep.Heloise held her breath, turned on the car's ventilation system, and cracked open one of the windows to ensure continuous airflow inside the car.After doing all this, she gently pushed open the car door and slowly stepped out.She had a meeting to attend, and he was having a nap. The timing was perfect.Heloise leaned out, looking at the empty school entrance, biting her lip.He came out like this, without even a bodyguard by his side, with so many enemies around. If he was
So fast.It seemed she had misunderstood. Even if she had driven here like this, the bodyguards had been following them all along."Oh."Heloise nodded calmly."Let's go home."What a crappy place.It's so hot.Reginald couldn't stand it for a moment longer. He turned around to leave, but the person behind him didn't follow.He went to grab her hand, pulled it, but she didn't budge. A surge of anger immediately rose in his chest.He slowly raised his eyes, and beneath the brim of his cap, his dark eyes stared at her coldly. His voice was icy, "What? Are you waiting for me to blow up this place before you're willing to come with me?""I have a meeting. It'll only take two hours, no, one hour is enough," Heloise said, leaning against the wall and looking at him with clean, sharp eyes."No."Reginald rejected again."..."Heloise fell silent, just leaning against the wall, looking at him w
"Let's continue the meeting."Heloise sat on the chair, opening the files in her hands.Suddenly, the man on the right side leaned forward onto the table, his face turned towards her direction, resting on his right arm. His arm extended towards her, with his long fingers casually placed on the tabletop. Close enough that if he raised his hand, he could grab her.From this angle, others couldn't see anything, but Heloise, sitting in the main seat, could clearly see his gaze fixed on her.The people below exchanged glances, full of gossip.Heloise glanced at him under her eyelids and continued in a cold voice, "Regarding the issue of resource sharing, I have thought about it. The popularity of the Peak Summit Conference won't last forever. Once it diminishes, what awaits us is settling the scores. So..."The man's long fingers were placed on the table, his joints slightly bent, and they crawled over her documents, with his index finger hooking
Heloise looked at the members, stood up, and walked towards the water dispenser in the meeting room. Reginald, this person, he doesn't easily cross her bottom line, but when he does, he jumps back and forth. If she doesn't comply, he can cause more headaches for her. Heloise resignedly poured herself a cup of water with her own cup, then returned to the table and placed the cup in front of Reginald. The others exchanged glances, finding this too indulgent. They were in the middle of a meeting, what more does he want? Heloise sat back down, speaking indifferently, "What we do at what time, it's my fault for bringing people to disrupt the meeting today. I will write a self-criticism, and you two should do the same." This was directed at Gavin and Sibyl. Without rules, there's no order. The two dared not object after being reprimanded, nodding vigorously, "We'll write it, we must." Abel, watching Reginald still lyi
Absolutely cannot let a duck ruin Sis. Heloise's blueprint.Reginald looked down at the bank card, chuckling disdainfully. "You want to give me money to leave her?"This was perhaps the funniest joke he had heard all year.It had always been him throwing money at others, and he never imagined that one day someone would try to bribe him.Agatha stood by, casting a puzzled glance at Reginald, feeling like she recognized his voice from somewhere but couldn't quite place it. Maybe all attractive men sounded similar."Exactly, by sticking to Sis. Heloise every day like this, it's all about money for you, right? Just name your price, be a man about it," Abel pounded the table again, full of aggression.Strangely, Agatha felt that no matter how aggressive Abel acted, he couldn't match the self-assured, domineering aura emanating from the man sitting there so casually.At the mention of money, Reginald unclasped a wristwatch with a blue diamo
She didn't want such trivial matters to provoke him."How do I explain it?" Reginald stared at her, his gaze as sharp as a hawk, cold, sinister, and deadly.Heloise stood there, taking off the men's shirt that belonged to him from her shoulders, and said, "I can't say you're Reginald, but I can say, you're my... boyfriend."The last three words were somewhat difficult for her to say.Even though they kissed, even though they were in bed together, the relationship between them always made her feel like they were far from being boyfriend and girlfriend.Reginald didn't seem to mind the pause in her words. His dark eyes gradually settled down. "That's about right.""Then let's go back," Heloise said."Mm," Reginald got up."Aren't you taking the watch?" Heloise glanced at him."It's been touched by someone else, so I don't want it," Reginald said casually."..."You're rich, big deal.Heloise was about
Heloise didn't understand why he suddenly turned hostile again, feeling somewhat uneasy inside, though she didn't show it on her face, only giving a faint smile. "You said you wouldn't stop me."He had lost the bet, and he had to let her do what she wanted. Now this sentence had become her leverage in dealing with him.Hearing this, Reginald chuckled softly. "Just saying, go on, I've been with you every day these days, and I'm tired of it."Is that so?"Then I'll leave."Heloise said, turning around and walking out, stepping down the retro wooden stairs step by step.Reginald still stood in place, looking at the empty doorway, the smile on his face gradually fading.He walked out of the room, downstairs, the sound of the car starting outside.Reginald walked into the living room, not bothering to look at the activity in the courtyard outside, and went straight to the sofa, picking up the game controller and turning on the large
"......" Heloise gave him a speechless look. Distracted for a moment, her character on the screen was shot in the head by Reginald, dying a heroic death.Reginald had aimed for this outcome. He turned to look at her, his mischievous gaze wandering up and down. "Strip."Today, he had suddenly proposed a game where for every round lost, she had to remove an article of clothing, with a one-hour time limit.Heloise didn't want to play, but he had persistently pestered her, not allowing her to do anything else until they played for an hour and only then would he let her go to the study to do her own work."......" Heloise straightforwardly took off her shoes, leaving her feet bare on the carpet.This wasn’t the effect he wanted.Reginald glanced at her small, fair feet and reached out to adjust the air conditioning to a higher temperature.The next round began.Heloise focused on the screen, maneuvering the controller with pre
"Suspect what?"Reginald wiped his hands with a hot towel, seeming to ask casually, as if he didn't care."With her abilities, it would be easier for her to make a mark in other circles. Yet she chose to endure hardships in the Legal Affairs Committee, where the network is already established. She’s been there for two months, and although she rose quickly, she's still just an assistant," Benjamin said."On one hand, she's willing to endure these hardships, and on the other hand, she's able to cultivate people under her into prominent figures in various fields in a short period. Do you think she has a grand ambition?"Those in high positions naturally have their sensitivities.Even though he admired Heloise, Benjamin couldn't help but think more deeply.Such a perceptive girl wouldn't do meaningless things; she must have her own calculations. She propels these people to become figures in various fields, and with more experience, they co
Someone passed by and first looked at her, screaming, with eyes that suggested she was crazy. Then, upon seeing the snake, they quickly fled.Why!Why couldn't she get close to Reginald? Why wasn't she the one to receive Reginald's special attention?She couldn't accept this outcome! She couldn't!She sat on the ground, tears quickly welling up, streaming down her face, overwhelmed with despair.…Ever since she had that candid conversation with Reginald on the football field, Heloise had become increasingly focused on her work in the Legal Affairs Committee.Heloise tackled each task with enthusiasm, consistently completing them with excellence. During this time, some colleagues tried to sabotage her, but she cleverly deflected their attempts. Similarly, higher-ups tested her abilities, but she passed each challenge with flying colors.Soon enough, everyone in the Legal Affairs Committee knew of her. Her path to promoti
Just as she finished typing, Heloise was suddenly embraced from behind by a pair of strong arms. Reginald leaned in from behind, his thin lips touching her ear, tracing along the contours of her earlobe, before suddenly taking it into his mouth and lightly licking it with the tip of his tongue.Heloise was tingling all over from his actions, wanting to break free but held tightly by him.Reginald's kisses quickly trailed over her neck and face, finally locking onto her lips with a strong possessiveness, probing deep, intimate, and ambiguous.He pressed his forehead against hers and hoarsely said, "Let me think."Heloise looked at him somewhat puzzled. What did he mean by letting him think? What was he thinking about?Perhaps because he had just showered, his eyes appeared unusually deep and moist under the light.It reminded her of the time at BlueWolf Mountain when a dolphin, accidentally washed ashore by the sea, lay there barely breathing
His voice carried a bewildering power, like a subtle electric current piercing through one's eardrums and directly into the heart.Heloise sat there, captivated by his voice, intimidated by his gaze, her mind momentarily blank.He said he would ensure all her affairs were smooth and worry-free for life. What a touching statement.Growing up, she had never received such a weighty promise.Heloise admitted to herself that she had been captivated. A hot wind passed before her eyes as she stared fixedly at Reginald in front of her.Behind him, the twilight light burst forth with vivid colors, suddenly breaking through."What, speechless from being moved?" Reginald looked at her, chuckling softly.Heloise looked at him. If she followed his temperament, she should express gratitude for being moved, or at least say thank you.But suddenly, she felt that continuing this way was not right."Thank you, Reginald," Heloise looked at
Reginald stood up from the ground, delivering heartless words.Tricia sat on the ground, her heart wrenched by his words.He couldn't produce any evidence to prove that she intentionally incited those people to target Heloise. Yet, despite this, he almost killed her for Heloise. She had risked her life for him!"Brother, has she ever saved you?" Tears streamed down her face as she asked softly.Reginald turned, buttoning his cuff and reaching for the watch on the table. His movement paused at her words before he put on the watch."How much has she sacrificed for you? Why is she the only one for you?" Tricia questioned as she watched his back.The only one for you.Reginald had never thought of those four words. To him, he was simply interested in Heloise. Every aspect of her fit his taste.Her presence filled the loneliness he had endured for over a decade. Was she really the only one for him?If it were someone else...
"Brother, wait for me." Tricia glanced at Heloise and softly called out, catching up to Reginald and brushing his arm with her finger.Reginald glanced at her sideways but didn't stop, continuing forward. Tricia walked alongside him.Heloise stood still, quietly watching the backs of the two, feeling a faint sense of strangeness pass through her heart. Her expression remained calm, showing little emotion.Is this going to be alright? It really caught her off guard.She thought that Tricia chasing after Reginald would take as long as rebuilding the slums.Once Reginald left, the guards followed suit, leaving the office to them.Heloise withdrew her gaze, carrying the documents into the office and sitting at her desk, ready to work. She tried to start her computer, but it showed a black screen.Heloise was annoyed. She clicked the mouse a couple of times, and large blocky characters began to flash on the screen."Miss me?"
"No."Reginald held her tightly.Heloise gritted her teeth and shrunk her body, slipping out from his arms.Reginald attempted to catch her, but failed. Irritated, he reached for her, pulling her towards him and kissing her forcefully. "If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep. Let's continue playing."Heloise still wanted to break free, but Reginald pulled her back onto the bed and started fooling around with her.…In the office, colleagues remembered her heroic act of catching snakes and, understandingly, ceased their antagonism. This made Heloise's internship path particularly smooth.Her documents were impeccable, and there wasn't a single mistake in the legal texts she handled, which left her superiors very satisfied."This document contains the latest perfected laws for the slums. Once you've organized and verified it, we can make it public."The leader handed her a document.Heloise accepted it,
“Don't worry, I won't engage in such petty behaviors.”Another person expressed their stance to Heloise.“You saved us today. I'll keep an eye out for you from now on, making sure Adam and the others don't dare to act out again,” said several people around Heloise.“…”What's going on with these people? Weren't they trying to curry favor with her? How did they suddenly change sides in such a short time?Tricia stood there, her expression grim.Heloise sat calmly, raising her eyes to Tricia and giving a nonchalant “Oh.”Everyone followed her gaze to Tricia, and there was a moment of stiffness. This incident was somewhat related to Tricia, but she hadn't instructed them to go after Heloise.The atmosphere felt strangely tense.Soon, someone laughed nervously. “Tricia, you're back! You were lucky you weren't here earlier. Suddenly, the office was filled with snake
