Coral glared at him angrily.She knew that Abel’s subordinates would not be respectful to her, but she did not know how they would show it.Mr. Drew may look like a smiling saint, but in fact, he was cold and heartless. Coral was sure that if she insisted on causing trouble today, he would chase her out. He would even expose this to Abel and the entire Blakewell family…She looked away and glanced at Serenity, who was watching the show at the side. Coral pointed at her and said indignantly, “Serenity, right? Just you wait!”Joey saw the monstrous hatred in her eyes and subconsciously moved his feet to block Coral’s view of Serenity.Serenity stuck her head out and smiled slyly. “The door to Misty Rain is always open for you, Miss Coral! I will never complain!”Mr. Drew was flabbergasted. Was she goading Coral? That was too much!Coral stomped out of the club with her bodyguards in tow. The group of ladies who came with Coral all looked at each other. They did not know what to do
Mr. Drew was the manager of Regality. Although he had heard of Serenity’s reputation, he did not take her seriously.The reason why he even paid attention to her was because Mr. Blakewell had personally instructed him to send a few seasoned hosts to Miss Serenity’s establishment.Mr. Drew dubiously did as he was told and secretly asked Mr. Kallan about it. It was only then that he learned that Miss Serenity had brought Mrs. Blakewell to Misty Rain to look for hosts, which provoked Mr. Blakewell.The ins and outs of the matter became unimportant. The important points were: One, Mr. Blakewell was married; and two, Mrs. Blakewell and Miss Serenity were friends!Therefore, Mr. Drew had to be especially considerate of Miss Serenity. It was as though she had a big sign above her head that read: Mrs. Blakewell’s Bestie!However, even if she was Mrs. Blakewell’s friend, she could not insult Mr. Drew like this.“I’m sorry, I was careless with my words,” Serenity apologized sensibly and th
When morning came, the room was a mess. When Joey woke up, he saw the empty bottles that littered the floor. There was also a stack of bills on the table with a name card on top. Beside it was a heart-shaped sticky note with a few words written on it. [I might have gotten the short end of the stick here, but I’m a generous woman and won’t hold it against you. Even though there’s no need for us to hook up again, you can still contact me if you want to come work at my place!]Joey glared at the name card. “That woman really knows how to piss a guy off.”The name card she left behind belonged to Misty Rain’s front office manager. Serenity did not give him her own name card. Was she worried that Joey would pester her?At that moment, Joey felt that Serenity was regarding him with disdain, and he felt humiliated.He was the one who used to flirt and tease women. It was never the other way around. He was also the one who decided when to start or end a relationship. He never had a
When the question came, Abel introduced himself politely. “Mr. George, I’m Ruth’s husband, Abel.”George was stunned for a few seconds as he stared at Abel, and he suddenly realized something.“Looks like I really slept for a long time. You’re married now, Ruth!” The old voice could not hide his regret.However, it was only for a moment. Perhaps because he knew that he did not have long before he fell back to sleep, he quickly adjusted himself and seized the chance to ask about Abel’s situation and how their relationship was going.After answering a few questions, Abel saw his anxiety and nervousness and comforted him gently. “Mr. George, your current attending doctor is Tom Acker, an internationally renowned cardiovascular specialist. He’s confident that he can treat your illness. You’ll soon be able to work and rest like a normal person. So, you don’t have to be anxious. We will have time to get to know each other slowly, and you can witness how well I treat Ruth.”His gentle wo
“It’s because I know what sort of person you are, that’s why I can’t imagine how you survived.”“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Ruth did not want George to worry, so she casually changed the topic. “Get well soon, then I’ll suffer less in the future. That’s the most important thing!”George tapped her forehead and looked up at the door. “Your husband is from the Blakewell family, right?”Judging from Abel’s speech and temperament, George knew that he was no ordinary person.After carefully recalling the name, he remembered something. Blakewell Corporation’s person-in-charge was the youngest and most mysterious genius in the business world.“Yes, I’m a good judge of character.” Ruth smiled and boasted, “He’s protecting me, so I won’t suffer!”George was not buying it. He asked, “Are you two in an open relationship?”Ruth was silent. George’s smile faded when he saw her expression.He sounded anxious when he asked, “What did you promise him?”Ruth met his worried eyes and felt help
George had just woken up and was still very weak. He and Ruth had tacitly not mentioned Callum. After understanding Ruth’s relationship issues, George became drowsy and fell asleep.When Ruth came out of the ward, she bumped into Serenity, who had rushed over.“Mr. George is awake?! How is he?”When Serenity heard the news, she had quickly gotten home to shower and change her clothes. She was currently dressed in casual sportswear. Her long hair was tied into a bun on her head, and her face was bare. She looked like a university graduate.The corners of Ruth’s eyes twitched as she gave Serenity a once-over. She knew that Serenity had wooed Joey the night before. At this moment, Ruth found it hard to connect Serenity’s current appearance to the image of the gorgeous boss of Misty Rain.She clicked her tongue and shook her head. “No matter how well-dressed you are, you can’t hide those dark circles under your eyes! Also, you reek of alcohol. I can smell it from here!”Serenity
This was especially true for Serenity. Her methods were too wild, and she could easily lead Ruth astray.“I’ve changed my mind. I’ll always obsess over what I can’t have, and once I have it, it becomes boring!”After Serenity swaggered away, Ruth and Abel exchanged looks with mixed feelings.Did she... already “have” Joey?Ruth was speechless. Serenity was really good at practicing what she preached.On the other hand, Abel was scandalized, and he made up his mind not to let Ruth hang out with Serenity anymore.…...In the VIP lounge of an airport somewhere overseas, a middle-aged man ended a phone call. His face was filled with excitement.Although he did not spend too much this time, the effort was well worth it.He had searched for her for so many years, and he had traveled to numerous places, yet all he found was disappointment. Along with weariness, there was a hint of resentment in him. He thought that women actually did not care about their past relationship at all.Sh
Abel’s thin lips curled into a smile, and his expression was filled with gentleness.Ruth did not get a reply from him for a long moment. She only saw, from the corner of her eye, that Abel was smiling while looking at his phone.The urge to get into the car and go wild disappeared in an instant. She rushed over in a few steps and looked at his phone.She wanted to see what could make him grin like that...Oh!It was her beautiful self!Ruth froze for two seconds. Then, she looked up at Abel. “Honey, I know I look cool in this suit, but you haven’t seen me in action yet and you’re already grinning foolishly at a picture of me. Aren’t your expectations a little too low?”Abel reached out and easily pulled her into his arms. He lowered his eyes and stared at her. “Me? Foolish?”“I’m not exaggerating.”“Let me show you something. You might end up with the same expression as mine.”Under Ruth’s disbelieving gaze, Abel held her hand tightly and turned on his phone again. Just as s
