Laura exhaled deeply and responded, "I don't care what happens to Simon anymore. Whether his life gets better or worse, it's none of my concern. The only thing that matters right now is that the lawyer I found can get my dad out as soon as possible.""I was actually going to suggest you try the lawyer I found," Jennifer said with a touch of regret. "But since you've already hired someone, I'll let it go."By the way, he has a son around our age. He visits my patient at the hospital a lot, and I hear he's single. His dad even asked me if I knew any single colleagues, hoping I could set him up with someone."The food on Laura's fork slipped off and landed on her plate. "You don't mean you're trying to set me up with him, do you?" she asked, her tone tinged with resignation."I was thinking about it. You have no idea. He's really handsome and tall. On top of that, he's a university professor. I think he's a great catch. You should at least consider it. We can't let good things pass

With a grin, Britney winked at Laura. "But I love seeing you and Mr. Moore together. Every time I see you two, it feels like I'm watching a romance drama!"Laura was somewhat speechless upon hearing that. A romance drama? To her, her relationship with Simon was more like something out of a tragic TV show. In an instant, her colleagues started urging her to call Simon. Yet, Laura simply replied with a smile, "He has a business dinner to attend tonight. Besides, this is just a department get-together. If he were here, it'd be hard for us to really enjoy ourselves, right?"And just like that, she managed to sidestep the awkward moment.Laura silently noted that she had to find time to set the record straight with her colleagues. She needed to make it clear that her relationship with Simon was over. Otherwise, they'd continue seeing them as a couple.…Later that evening, Laura and her colleagues headed to a nearby seafood buffet after work. But with such a large group and it bein

Hailey hurried after Simon. He was as cold as ever, but at least he'd agreed to have dinner with her.That was progress. She was certain it wouldn't take long before she could win him over completely. At that thought, Hailey's spirits lifted. "Simon, there's a park nearby. Shall we take a stroll?" she suggested. "Look, there are so many couples out tonight.""I'm tired from work. Let me take you home. It's getting late," Simon replied indifferently.At those words, disappointment flickered across Hailey's face.And sure enough, Simon drove her straight to the entrance of her residential area. "Simon, won't you come in for a bit?" she asked softly, her voice almost pleading. "You could have some coffee and take a break."Besides, one of my housekeepers is amazing at massages—it's perfect for relieving tension. Didn't you say you were tired? I'll ask him to give you a massage."Yet, Simon found her chatter insufferably annoying. With a frown, he responded, "No, it's late. I don

Everyone in the room turned toward the door, alarm etched on their faces.Standing there in a long black trench coat was Simon. Wearing a cold expression, he ordered, "Let her go and get the hell out of here!"Michel had harbored resentment against Simon for some time. He'd been just one step away from claiming Laura, but Simon had to show up and ruin everything!At that point, Michel had lost all sense of reason. He released Laura and stormed toward Simon."Well, well, if it isn't Mr. Moore himself!" he mocked. "So, this is where you come to have fun now, huh? Don't you know you're here in the red-light district? Women here sell themselves for cash! What's the matter, Mr. Moore? Is this your type now?"Michel's words had barely settled when a murderous glint flashed in Simon's eyes. Without warning, he grabbed Michel by the collar and yanked him forward.Two sharp slaps echoed through the room as Michel's head whipped from one side to the other."You! Simon Moore, how dare you

Noticing Simon's silence, Laura turned toward him with curiosity. As soon as she did, he reached out to cradle the back of her head. In the next instant, his tall frame leaned in. Each breath he took was heavy as he savored the softness of her lips. Laura's heart pounded violently in her chest. She tried to push him away, but his arm tightened around her waist. It was as if he wanted to meld their bodies together.Under Simon's dominance, Laura gradually gave up resisting. Memories of him arriving just in time to save her flashed through her mind. Suddenly, the void in her heart felt as though it had been filled, though she couldn't say with what.Yet, she didn't want to think about it—couldn't, even if she tried. His fervent kisses overwhelmed her, leaving her weak in his arms. Just as things were about to intensify, Laura abruptly stopped him.Simon paused, desire simmering in his dark eyes. He looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"Her cheeks burned as she answere
