Next question, how many blocks are there on my abs?" Reginald stared directly at her.
"..."
What a ridiculous question.
Heloise pursed her lips and decided not to answer. Reginald stood up, placing both hands on the table and slowly approaching her, his eyes carrying a hint of danger. "This is a question you can't skip."
"Six," Heloise said, closing her eyes.
Reginald smirked satisfactorily at her response, speaking lightly, "You counted quite accurately."
"..."
She hadn't counted.
Blame her good memory and photographic memory.
"Next question, what is my favorite color?" Reginald asked, staring at her closely from a short distance.
This question seemed more serious.
Heloise wanted to say yellow because he seemed fixated on yellow waste. However, she opted for a straightforward answer, "Black."
Because he always wears black attire, she assumed he must like it.
"Wrong." Reginald marked her answe
"..." Tricia's voice caught in her throat.For some reason, Heloise's gaze made her feel insane, as if Heloise could stab her to death in front of everyone the next moment."Tricia..." Heloise spoke coldly while holding her chin, "...please understand, it's not that I can't handle you; I just don't want to deal with you."Tricia wanted to speak but couldn't due to Heloise's firm grip on her chin, almost dislocating it."If you can't keep quiet from now on, I'll have to intervene. Understand?" Heloise's eyes were icy, devoid of emotion.Tricia was someone she selected to leave for Reginald. What she valued in Tricia was her willingness to fight for him. But if this mouth doesn't stop, and she were to mute her, she believed that Reginald wouldn't have any major objections at the moment.Tricia, seeing the fleeting thoughts in her eyes, seemed to be truly considering how to make herself shut up. Suddenly flustered, she stopped struggling altoge
If this were in a slum, seeing snakes would really light everyone up; after all, it's an extra meal.They're a group who hasn't seen much.Heloise stood there for a moment, then set her bag aside, rolled up her shirt sleeves, and grabbed the mop bucket left by the janitor before moving forward.Placing the bucket on the ground, she bent down, grabbed a snake slithering on the floor, then deftly tied it into a knot like a rope before tossing it into the bucket."!!!"All her colleagues had climbed up high, and at this moment, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.Catching snakes bare-handed?No way.Is she pretending?Is she even a woman?At that moment, the astonishment far exceeded the fear.The girl with the innocent face continued to move around the office, calmly picking up snake after snake as if picking up twine. Not a hint of fear showed on her fair little face, not even a crease on he
“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
"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,
"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?"
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...
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
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
"......" 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
