Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 1041 - Bab 1050

Laura bit her lip. She knew Simon was a master at humiliation. He never needed to use crude words to hit where it hurt the most. She retorted, "Mr. Fowler isn't like a certain someone who takes advantage of others! He's the most upright lawyer I've ever met"Although she appeared to be opposing him, Simon wasn't as angry as before. He must have realized that someone with Laura's personality probably wouldn't be won over by a few bouquets of flowers.He smirked. "Well then, I wish you all the best in rescuing your father!"Laura smiled. "Don't worry, my father's case is progressing smoothly!" After finishing the dishes, Laura let out a long sigh of relief. "Now, can I finally leave?" Simon glanced at the time. It was nearly midnight, and the dark sky outside made even him feel uneasy. He tossed her his car keys. "Take my car. Let me know once you're home." Laura took the keys, her confusion and surprise evident. Simon cleared his throat. "Don't overthink it. I'm just

That evening, Laura gathered her things and walked out of the studio. As she reached the building's entrance, she was surprised to see Lionel waiting there. "Mr. Fowler?" Laura frowned. "Are you here to meet someone?" Lionel smiled. "I'm here to find you. So, how was the afternoon tea I ordered?" Laura froze, staring at him in disbelief. So, the afternoon tea wasn't from Simon but from Lionel. A wave of disappointment washed over her. Of course, why would Simon possibly do something like that? That wasn't his style at all. Even if he were to do something so romantic, it would only be for Hailey. What was she even thinking? How ridiculous to let her imagination run wild. "Ms. Scott?" Lionel reached out as if to touch her arm, but she quickly stepped back to avoid him. Laura muttered awkwardly, "Mr. Fowler, how much did the afternoon tea cost? I'll transfer the money to you." "There's no need." Lionel smiled. "Treating a beautiful woman to tea is my honor. Speaking of

Simon snorted. "You'll pay for the damages? Quite the bold claim! Looks like Lionel is being very generous to you, willing to spend lavishly on your behalf. How exactly do you plan to pay?" Laura teared up at his words. If it weren't for Lionel, she wouldn't have been distracted and crashed the car. Her anger and frustration boiled over at the mention of Lionel. "Say whatever you want!" she snapped, stomping off. Simon followed her. "So, that's it? You're running away again? Weren't you the one who said you'd pay for the damages?" Laura stopped in her tracks, turned around, and glared at him. "Fine! Go ahead and sue me! Aren't you a lawyer? Go on, sue me!" Simon couldn't help but laugh at her childish defiance. He realized that without him holding the reins, Laura was like a wild animal set loose, completely unrestrained. She was headstrong, stubborn, and unreasonable. Did she forget that the leash was still in his hands? He had only loosened it for a while, and now sh

Laura's face fell as she hung the blue suit in the closet, carefully matching it with a tie and shirt before finally leaving.She felt this arrangement was quite good. She was nothing but an ordinary housekeeper and he was her employer. Neither of them would feel burdened or troubled. Who he loved or who he would end up with didn't matter. No, Simon probably wouldn't be troubled by any of that. The one feeling conflicted was her. Laura tried to clear her head as she walked down the streets. She hadn't felt too conflicted earlier, had she? She had calmly chosen the perfect suit for him to wear when meeting the family of his fiancee, after all. ... The next afternoon, the entire news department benefited once again thanks to Laura. "Laura! Simon is spoiling you. Today's afternoon tea is even fancier than yesterday's! It's from that famous restaurant at Gold Guardian. It's super expensive!" Britney's eyes sparkled with envy as she gushed over Laura. Her other colleag

Hailey had grown up in a wealthy family and was skilled at dealing with elders. She took out a gift she had prepared and handed it to Fiona. "You mentioned that you often feel dizzy, so I got this herbal tea for you. Please try it. I'll bring more for you if it helps." "Hailey, you're such a thoughtful child! It's rare to find someone as considerate as you." Fiona praised her. Then she turned to Simon. "You'd better treat Hailey well. I won't let you off the hook if you miss out on such a wonderful lady!" Simon forced a smile. "Mom, let's invite Mr. and Mrs. Brooks in. We can talk while we eat." Fiona nodded. "Oh, right. I got so excited that I forgot. Come, my dear in-laws. Please take your seats!" With that, everyone sat down at the dining table. Sophia was pleased with Simon. She smiled. "Fiona, don't you think Hailey and Simon are a perfect match?" But William didn't share the sentiment. As a man, he could see Simon's indifference. There wasn't even a trace of
