The sharp pain spread across my face in an instant. I touched my inner cheek with the tip of my tongue, turned to him, and suddenly raised my hand to slap him hard.

Harrison's face darkened instantly. He gritted his teeth and roared angrily, "Katherine Nicholson!"

"Harrison, I really wish you could see how your sweetheart pleases my boyfriend and his uncle."

I looked at him with a smile. “It's unfair to say that I snatched the contracts from you. I won the contracts because I was competent. It's the company of you and Chole. What does it have to do with me? Why should I show mercy?"

Like Chole, Harrison was probably used to me being humble before him, and he just looked at me blankly, unable to believe I would have said something like that.

I sneered and left without looking back.

Harrison didn't use too much strength when he slapped me, but it still left faint red marks on my face. When I got home, Tony looked at my face and his eyes immediately turned grim. "Who did it?"

    13I moved out of Tony's house.I was in such a hurry that I didn't even take away the paintings I painted.When I left with my suitcase, Tony caught up with me with tears in his eyes. He was about to explain, but I raised my hand to stop him. "Tony, I didn't completely lose faith in you. I believe in your sincerity, but this is an unpleasant beginning. I think we both need to calm down and think it over."I wondered how come I was so calm when I said this.Tony was obviously hurt. He looked at me pitifully and said, "Katherine, I can apologize, but I really didn't mean to..."I was determined to leave.However, I wanted to surrender almost in the next second when I met his misty eyes.It was also at this moment that I realized how much I liked him."Anyway, let's separate for a while."I closed the car door and urged the driver to start the car.Although I was moving, I felt like I was fleeing.The next day, I went to the office to submit my resignation application.

    15Since I moved out of Tony's house, he hadn't contacted me for a couple of days.I thought he was thinking carefully about our relationship, but when I got home from work that night, I saw him squatting pitifully at the door of my apartment. When he saw me, he jumped up excitedly and called out, "Katherine!"Then, his body swayed. I hurried forward to help him up. Tony fell into my arms and buried his face in my neck, blowing his warm breath on my skin."Katherine," he said with grievance, "my feet are numb."I was speechless.I had no choice but to take Tony home.After walking into the room, he put down his backpack and took out a painting from it.It turned out to be me in the painting. My red dress swept the desolate ground, as bright as flames. My soft brown hair hung down, matching well with the golden-red setting sun in the sky.However, the face in the picture was a little different from mine."It's you two years ago."Tony said, "After that time, I often dreamed

    Drifting halfway between sleep and wakefulness, I mistakenly sent the R-rate story on my mobile phone to Ryan Herdman I had a crush on, as a paper.To be exact, I sent it to a WhatsApp chat group with him and my classmates in the laboratory.What worried me the most was that the hero and heroine of the story were named after Ryan and me.By the time I woke up, the document could no longer be recalled.1I held my phone and leaned against the headboard, feeling a shiver down my spine.The text on the screen said, "Ryan narrowed his eyes with a faint smile on his face and ripped off Yolanda's slip dress, revealing..."I really didn't have the courage to continue reading, so I closed the document in despair.Here was the thing.Last night, my friend Chloe Vernon, a huge fan of literature, sent me a document and hinted that I should read it before going to bed.She often shared her work with me and let me be the first reader.I figured out what she meant and didn't open it immed

    3It was Ryan.Although I really wanted to run away without looking back, the last bit of reason left in my mind made me stop.When I turned, I saw Ryan strode up to me in a few steps.I forced a smile and stammered, "R-Ryan?"He glanced at my face coldly. Then his gaze landed on the meal card in my hand.His indifferent voice sounded. "Are you nervous?""No... I'm not."After I denied it, I lowered my head, only to find that my fingertips had turned pale from grabbing the meal card too tight.I didn't know if it was an illusion, but I seemed to hear Ryan chuckle.However, when I raised my head again, he resumed his cold manner."When will you give me your paper?"My heart skipped a beat at the mention of the paper. I whispered, "Well, I've sent you the draft of the paper."Ryan took out his phone from his pocket and tapped twice on the screen.After a quick glance, he put away his phone and looked at me again. "I saw it. Would you like to have dinner with me?"I should

    6Half a year ago, when I was still with Zoey, he borrowed 1,000 dollars from me to pay the rent.But he never returned the money to me.Obviously, he didn't expect me to mention it. After a long while, he sent me another message.[I'll pay you back to your face. Can you come out and meet me?]If I said no, he would have a chance to refuse to pay me back, so I agreed to his request.I promised Zoey that I would meet him at the school gate on Friday evening and have dinner with him.I stayed in the laboratory for a whole day on Friday, but a set of data still did not come out.The more anxious I was, the more mistakes I made and the more time it took.Zoey had called me twice, but I disconnected it. He then messaged me again.[Yolanda, are you ready? How about I pick you up?]I grabbed my phone and was about to reply when a slender finger with distinct knuckles suddenly appeared before me. Then, it bent and tapped on the table gently. "Did you submit the data?"I looked up a

    8On my birthday, I released Chloe from the blacklist.She sent a series of aggrieved emojis to me. [Honey, why did you blacklist me? Don't you like the story I especially wrote for you?][It's not me. It's the hero who doesn't like it.]Chloe was stunned when she saw the message I had sent to her. She then sent a thumbs-up emoji.[You bold girl! How dare you send the article to Ryan? What did he say?]I somehow recalled the subtle disappointed look on Ryan's face after I plucked up the courage to tell him that I was not the one who wrote the article that night.I told Chloe about it truthfully. [He didn't seem to like it.]I was confident that Ryan was unhappy with reading the article. I guess no one would want to be the object of sexual fantasy of his junior at university.Chloe was studying in another city and wouldn't return for a few months. I had to celebrate my birthday alone.In the afternoon, I exited the cafe where I worked part-time and went straight to the bar ups

    10In the second month of the project, Ryan told me that the institute would help him negotiate with a company to provide him with equipment and technical support.In return, once the patent was approved, the company would have priority rights to use it.On the day the company sent people to investigate, Ryan and I arrived at the laboratory early in the morning.While we were commissioning the equipment, a bunch of people walked in.I looked up and froze on the spot.Zoey!!He followed at the back of the group, obviously not in a critical position.He was stunned as well when he saw me.A lady from the company began to introduce the team who came here with her.When it was Zoey's turn, the woman smiled and said, "This is our project assistant, Zoey Stone."I struggled to look calm and nodded to greet Zoey. "Hi, Zoey!"When Ryan saw Zoey, he was clearly in a bad mood.He was a person who always concealed his feelings behind a placid face, but during lunch, he took the initi

    1"I'm gonna die in your bed, Karen."His voice had a charming huskiness and sweetness.Noah Miller was born with beautiful eyes. Coupled with his handsome, sexy face, he was able to attract a large number of girls his age and even younger.I was getting dressed. My white shirt was wrinkled and dirty, so I couldn't wear it anymore. I dropped it in the laundry basket and pulled a T-shirt out of the closet."Don't say that." After putting on the T-shirt, I poured myself a shot of whiskey, put some soda in it, and went to the refrigerator to get some ice balls.Noah shouted behind me, "Don't look for them. I put it all in my coke yesterday.""Why didn't you freeze new ones?"I glared back at him, stopped drinking, slammed my glass down on the table, picked up the clothes and trousers he had thrown on the floor, and threw them at him."Just get dressed and go. I have a plan to make, so I don't have time tonight.""Why did you turn your back on me after you slept with me?" Noah sc

    15The boy stood at the door and looked over with deep eyes. Light and shadows overlapped, but the bottom of his eyes contained the darkest shade. It was as if his disguise had been peeled off so that he was no longer obedient and innocent.At that moment, he looked like a keen-witted adult who could manage on his own.Jason didn't care about Ryan's presence. He didn't even turn around to look at Ryan. He just stared at me as if he was waiting for an answer.I said in a stern and low voice, "Step aside!""Alright."He shrugged and stood straight. Only a few seconds had passed, but Ryan had walked over. He stood side by side with Jason in front of my desk.They were almost of the same height, but compared with Jason, his body shape was more like a teenager's."Rita, I've concluded my work. We can leave now." Ryan simply ignored Jason and said, "I've booked a restaurant. Now It's just the right time to go there."Jason, who was standing beside Ryan, suddenly laughed and asked, "

    13When I was in high school, the Luther Group had too many irons in the fire. Since Henric's father was too busy, it was his mother, Celine, who issued the special scholarship each time.Because of Henric, I was always very nervous in front of her. However, I had to force myself to be calm and polite.Eight years had passed. Looking at her, I felt very calm. My mood was not changing at all."Hello, Madam. I'm Henric's..." I paused for a moment. "Old friend."Probably because of what had happened to the Luther family, she looked much older and thinner than she was eight years ago.Sitting opposite me, she now looked like a kind woman next door.However, when Henric heard what I said, his expression froze on his face."Old friend." Celine chuckled and picked up the teacup in front of her. "Indeed. When I went to your high school to grant scholarships, I often saw you and Henric walking together. You seemed to be very close.""Yes, I'm very grateful to Henric. He did help me a l

    11After I sent Ryan to his house, it was already late at night.The young boy was always very clingy.In the house he had newly rented, there was a very big sofa. Under the dim light of the floor lamp, he pestered me to give him a goodbye kiss.I didn't agree, but he kissed me forcibly. He immediately apologized to me before I got angry. "I'm sorry, Rita. I won't do it again."I wasn't able to say what I wanted to say. I could only wave my hand helplessly. "Forget it. I'm leaving."He knew me very well, just like the way I knew him.Over the years, I had been interacting with the people around me. The relationship between me and Jason concerned more about interests and the sense of propriety of adults.Only my relationship with Ryan was different.Perhaps only with him could I sometimes feel pure happiness.I thought Henric was asleep, but when I opened the door, I found that one of the lights in the living room was still on. Under the warm yellow light, there was a faint sw

    10Fineview finally decided to cooperate with the Luthers. After we went back, Henric was busy with the business of their company.When I was free, I contacted Ryan and invited him to meet me at a restaurant that we used to frequent.Probably because I hung up the phone in a hurry that day, the boy was not in a good mood when he came. He deliberately wore a straight face sitting opposite me, as if he was saying, "Come and coax me.""It was my fault. I shouldn't have hung up on you that day."I took out a box from my bag and put it in front of him. "I'll compensate you with this. Is it Okay?"Ryan didn't take it. Instead, he looked up at me and said, "Our university asks us to look for chances of internships during the summer vacation. If you want to compensate me, give me a chance to work as an intern in your company."I raised my eyebrows. Before I could answer his question, he had already taken out two pieces of paper from his bag and handed them over. I lowered my head and gl

    9When the hot June was over, Ryan called and told me that he had finished the exam.At that time, Henric and I were sitting by the French window. Outside the window was the vast sea. Henric's pupils were light-colored. When the sun was shining, the blue light of the sea was reflected in his pupils, which looked as clear as the spring water.However, as I answered the phone, his clear pupils instantly darkened."Rita, I've finished the exam." Ryan's excited voice sounded on the phone. "Can I see you this evening?"I leaned into Henric's arms and said lazily, "Not today. I'm on vacation."He was silent for a moment. Then he suddenly asked warily, "Who is with you?""Good boy, you should not ask this question."I was playing with the buttons of Henric's shirt now and then. "I'll contact you when I go back."After hanging up the phone, I sat up straight in Henric's arms. I turned around and found that he was still sitting very straight. He did not want to bend down even an inch.

    7I had intended to coax Henric, but not long after I got up, Jason called me."My car is waiting for you downstairs." He paused for a moment and said, "There are 20 minutes left for you to wash up. We must arrive at Hampton before 10 o'clock.""Got it."I hung up the phone and put on my clothes. Before I finished washing up, Henric had already heated up the milk and the sandwich. Looking at me, he was sitting at the dining table. It seemed he was asking me to make peace.He had always been cold and arrogant, so it was rare for him to give in. I sighed and walked over. I picked up the glass of milk and drank it all. I bent down and kissed him on the lips. The remaining milk had stained his lips. "There is something urgent in my company. See you this evening."Henric slowly wiped away the liquid with the finger pulp. "I'm also going out today."Although the Luthers had gone bankrupt, I knew he still had to deal with a lot of trivial matters. I nodded and said, "I see. If the Luth

    4The moment Ryan sat down beside me, Jason stretched out a hand to him and greeted him with a faint smile. "Nice to meet you! I'm Jason Reed."His name was well-known in the city. Naturally, Ryan had heard of him before.Ryan pursed his lips more tightly, but in the end, he still shook hands with Jason. "I'm Ryan Harris.""You seem to be very young. Are you still a college student?""I'm a sophomore. After all, Rita doesn't like men who are not young."Jason smiled and drank up the wine in his glass. "It's something natural. Young people are obedient and easy to deal with. If I just want to have some fun, I also want to make friends with young girls."Ryan gritted his teeth. He had almost crushed the wine glass in his hand. "Really? It seems that you are quite experienced, so you are not at all innocent."…I rested my chin on my hand. With great interest, I listened to their bickering until Jason's phone rang.He answered the phone. The smile on his lips did not change, but

    The night before my ideal lover came back, I told my young boyfriend that I wanted to break up with him.He was about to cry. "I don't want compensation. I just want to stay with you for a while longer."The bank card I handed over was rejected by him. After a moment of silence, I agreed.However, he went further. "You should wear the nightdress which I like best."At midnight, I lit a cigarette. Leaning against the headboard, I looked at him lazily. "What are you looking for?""The piece of clothing you have bought for me. I want to take it away as a souvenir."When he said this, his voice seemed to be shaking a little.I sighed and beckoned him. "Good boy, come here and let me kiss you."In fact, Ryan Harris was very obedient as well as very pure. He was almost the perfect lover that I had taught myself.If Henric Luther hadn't come back, I might be in a relationship with Ryan for a few more years.But there was no other way. Since my true boyfriend had returned, the substi

    15The next morning, when I went downstairs, Jacob's Bentley was already parked there.I opened the rear door of the car, got in, and then looked at him without saying a word.We didn't meet each other for two weeks. He seemed to be a little thinner. When he faced me, his usual indifference completely disappeared, only tenderness was left.It seemed like nothing happened and we were not changed.I felt a lump in my throat. So I turned my head and tried my best to say calmly, "Go."We did not speak to each other after.After reaching Jacob's home, I walked alone to the secondary bedroom and started packing my luggage. The familiar scent of pomelo surrounded me, mixed with the faint smell of tobacco. The atmosphere was a little bit charming.For a moment, I almost couldn't help telling Jacob that I still loved him.Although I just lived here for a few months, this house gave me so many memories that I could not help but recall many things as soon as I walked in.The night Jacob
