"I didn't sleep with him." I hastily waved my hands. "That day, I had to get up early to catch my flight, so I was really tired. After I got to the hotel, I rested for a while. Xander was in the living room reading the script the entire time. Nothing happened. Did you call because...""Enough. Do you think that I'll believe you?" He interrupted me and looked at me coldly before burying his head back into his work. He continued what he was doing."Theo, even murderers have a chance to plead their case. You should at least listen to what I have to say." I propped my hands on the desk and was not about to give up my chance to explain myself.He looked up and raised his eyebrows at me. The cold look on his face only grew colder. "It's office hours. You shouldn’t discuss personal matters with me right now, President Lane. The spokesperson is fully your responsibility. This situation will definitely have an impact on the company, so you’d better find a way to solve it. Otherwise..."Afte

At the most critical moment, Miss Woods' came over to help again. "You should walk more instead of being cooped up at home. Young Master, why don’t you go and take a walk with Young Mistress? She's been complaining about the pain on her feet and they’re starting to look a little swollen."Theo, who was about to go upstairs, glanced at me and said, "Let me change my clothes first."I looked down at my feet and whispered, "Miss Woods, my feet aren’t swollen.""Silly, I’m just making up an excuse for you. Anyway, they’ll get swollen in the future and I know you’ll complain about the pain soon. Let this be a secret between us.” After she said that, she gave me a wink and turned around to clean up the dishes.Soon after, Theo had changed his clothes and he came downstairs. He looked at my feet and asked, "Is it really painful?"I nodded guiltily and said softly, "It's probably some built-up fluid. I can ice them later and they’ll be fine."He furrowed his eyebrows, turned away slightl

I pursed my lips and looked up to meet his eyes. I felt wronged. "Don't you believe me?”He seemed to like my love confession. The corners of his lips rose and he did not answer me. He just lightly kissed my forehead before saying softly, "It's getting late. You shouldn’t stay up so late. Go to sleep."When I saw him like this, I stopped myself from telling him about Tyler. It had been a hard task to ease the atmosphere between us and I did not want to mess it up again. Hence, I decided to talk about it with him next time.After a long day, I was very sleepy and fell asleep soon after.The next day, I overslept. I rarely did that and when I picked up the phone to look at it, it seemed that I had muted it. Heidi had called me several times.I called her back.Heidi's anxious and tense voice sounded. "Wanda, I have bad news. Something bad’s going to happen.”"What’s going to happen?" My heart tightened, and my first thought was that Tyler must have come looking for me."Xander is

Without thinking much about it, I drove out and received a message from Theo while I was on the way there. He asked me to wait for him in the Greek restaurant near the office.It was a private restaurant. From the alley, it looked just like an ordinary courtyard. If Theo had not sent the address, I would not have been able to find it.Soon after I arrived, a young man came out and asked me if I was Miss Lane. I told him yes and he proceeded to lead me into a very sophisticated-looking private room. He told me that Mr. Grant had ordered our meal and I just had to wait for a moment. Right after I sat down, my phone rang. When I looked at the caller ID, my heart jolted and I almost dropped my phone to the floor.I knew what was to come could not be avoided.Tyler finally appeared.My entire body trembled as my hands squeezed the phone. I stared at his number, and an image of Tyler’s face popped up in my head.For a moment, I almost wanted to reject the call. However, I knew very w

The car drove to the West End, which was half an hour away from the city center. It was the most mysterious place for many civilians in Salt City because it was not a place where one could come just because one had money.Unless you were a dignitary or a celebrity, you could not even step foot here.Even though it was a small place, in addition to food and housing, there were a lot of entertainment establishments there.The car stopped at the outskirts of the turf club because the only way to get inside was to take a special car in.The servants led me in and I got into a Lincoln stretch limousine. After I got in, I finally met Tyler face-to-face. He was sitting with a glass of wine in his hand. He swayed his glass at me, his fox-like brown eyes tinged with pleasure. "Wandy, you're finally here."I finally saw him. He was still the same. Even after six years, he had not changed one bit. He still looked elegant and well-mannered, disguising himself well.Even so, I could feel the
