He took his sweet time and sipped on his wine. He swayed the wine in his glass gently, finally saying a word, "Yes."She knew Eugene was not a good person. She could not expect to get anything good out of him!Eugene's gaze landed on Fern once again. He was trying to make a guess. 'Will she be willing to give up on her daughter for her so-called freedom?'"Give me the pen." She finally made up her mind.Eugene felt his heart tighten as he stared at her coldly. It was obvious that he could not believe she would actually decide to sign the document!"Are you that eager to get away from me? Are you that eager to draw a line with me?" He asked through gritted teeth. He was internally struggling, and his cold stare seemed as if it would choke her to death!"There are some things that I prefer not to say."'Why does he even bother himself with this matter?’She was not aware that men were particularly sensitive about this issue, especially since she had another man by her side!"You
The broken pieces of the wine glass cut Eugene's hand. His blood mixed with the wine as they came flowing down. He seemed to have no feelings and was not in any pain. He just stared at the broken glass on the floor.The secretary, Sydney, came in and saw the scene. She shouted, "Oh my, President Eugene, your hand is bleeding!"She immediately turned around to get the first aid kit. As his secretary, she knew where everything was placed in the office.Eugene leaned back against the sofa and just allowed the blood to flow from his hand. He did not react.Sydney came over with the first aid kit and saw the broken pieces of glass. "How did the glass break?"He did not say a word as though he did not hear her.Sydney knew that Fern had just left. She had also heard from Wyatt that President Eugene wanted to cancel the contract with Fern. 'Did Fern anger him?'She did not continue bugging him with questions and just treated his injury quietly. Finally, she bandaged it.His palm had b
Eugene suddenly burst out into laughter as his eyes glinted mockingly. "If I'm really that good, she wouldn't have said that she hates me. She wouldn’t be in such a hurry to leave my side."Sydney could smell the heavy alcohol on him. Perhaps he was really a little drunk. Otherwise, he would not be telling her all these things. All this while, he had never revealed his personal feelings to his employees."Are you referring to Miss Thompson?” Sydney asked cautiously. However, he was leaning against the sofa and keeping quiet. She was unsure whether Eugene had heard her or not.She did not ask him any more questions. She waited for some time and looked at him when she realized he was still not saying a word. She saw that his eyes were shut. ‘Did he doze off or is he just drunk?'"President Eugene?" she called out to him softly. He did not react. Then, she heard his deep breathing. 'It seems like he's a little drunk and dozed off.'Sydney sneakily turned around and headed to the loun
When Rue came chasing after her, a black Bentley drove in from outside. It was Eugene's car.Fern saw the number plate of the car which she was very familiar with and felt her heart sink. She did not expect Eugene to return at this hour.Eugene got down from the car and immediately saw Fern, who was dragging her luggage out, about to leave. Meanwhile, his daughter came running after her from inside.Rue pulled on her mother's hand, her dark eyes looking at her. She said anxiously, "Mommy, are you trying to leave by bringing all your things away? Aren’t you coming back anymore?”Even though Fern had not told her flat out about her plans and even used her career as an excuse, Rue was still a bright child. She noticed that her mother had packed her luggage differently from how she usually did, so she could not help but feel that something was off.She lowered her head and looked into her daughter's innocent dark eyes. Suddenly, she choked up and could not bring herself to lie to Rue.
He came over and carried his daughter who was crying badly. He gently patted her back and softly comforted her, saying, "Why are you crying, silly? Your mommy said she’s not leaving you behind. She’s just… going to work.""But she brought with her all the things that she needs and left behind everything that she doesn’t want. She even said that she won’t be living here anymore. Boo-hoo…” She felt that her mother had abandoned her.Eugene's pupils shrunk when he heard it. 'She only brought away the things that she needs?'Well, I guess that’s true. We’re the ones that she doesn’t need!'Fern had yet to find a place to settle down and planned to stay in a hotel for the time being.She arrived at the hotel and got down from the car. The car behind her also came to a halt and out came Jeremy."You… Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital? Why were you discharged so soon?" She looked at him, astonished.Jeremy was also wearing a mask and even a pair of sunglasses, covering his enti
Jeremy debuted much earlier than Fern, and he was a top actor. It was not possible that he was unaware of the unspoken rules in the industry. ‘How can he be so bold to bring me back to his place and even want me to stay with him?’Jeremy smiled gently. He placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "If news spread, then so be it. If our pictures are taken by the paparazzi, then we’ll just admit that we're staying together."If it were not for his expression that showed that he was just messing around, he would have said that he was crazy to the point of even wanting to destroy his future."You might be fine with it, but I’m not. When the time comes, your fans will come to hunt me down!” Fern could just imagine how terrifying that scene would be."Can you not overthink things? Our fans already think that we’re a couple. If they find out that we’re living together, won’t their fantasies be fulfilled as well?” He was still talking with a smile."Never mind that. Let's focus on reality,
"Huh? Really?" Fern thought for some time and did not find it weird. 'If he’s a bachelor, then naturally he wouldn't have brought any other ladies back home.'"Of course! So, that means you're our young master's girlfriend, right?" Uncle Brown smiled with his eyes squinted while asking.Fern waved her hand. "No way. Please don't get the wrong idea. We're just ordinary friends.""Friends? Then I predict that you’ll be the type of friends who’ll become a couple soon."Fern helplessly supported her head with her hands. ‘Uncle Brown is just running his mouth off…’"Let me tell you this, our young master is a person who has always lived his life in an orderly manner. He has never had a frivolous woman by his side. He's always loyal in relationships. Once he sets his eyes on someone, that person will be the only one in his mind. So, you have to treat our young master well and don't hurt his feelings, alright?""Ah…" Fern found it ridiculous. 'Isn’t Uncle Brown taking this matter a litt
Fern looked into his eyes and did not answer him. Instead, she tilted her head and glanced at him with a critical gaze. She tapped her fingers on the table, asking in a puzzled manner, “First, you make me stay in your house. Then, you want to make me join your agency. What are you plotting?"They were both already adults and many things were complicated, especially when they were both in the entertainment industry. No one would offer a helping hand if there were no benefits involved.She had already canceled her contract with Eugene, which meant she had lost her support. For the days to come, it was still unknown if she would be hired for any shoots. She could not even find a place to stay. 'Why would he help someone like me who has nothing?'Could it be that it's just like what Eugene said? Does he have inappropriate intentions toward me?'It was as if Jeremy had seen through her thoughts. He suddenly smirked as he intentionally leaned into her. "If I say I've fallen for you and
