The moment Julia stepped out of the bathroom looking like that, she was not the only one dumbfounded!Sitting on the bed, Jared looked utterly surprised, and his pupils trembled! He, who had never been close to women and was not tempted by anything, couldn't control the movement of his eyes at that time."You, I-" Julia turned around and entered the bathroom again.With a loud bang, the bathroom door slammed shut. The room quieted; everything was in place except for the two, who couldn't calm down after what happened.Julia pressed her back against the cold door to cool down, her chest heaving and her cheeks tinged with blush.On the other hand, outside was Jared staring at the bathroom door, maintaining his previous position and sitting motionless.The two remained deadlocked, and in the end, Julia was the first to break the most awkward situation they had ever been in.Julia raised her hand and knocked on the door. She faked a cough and asked, "Are you still outside?"When he heard

After seeing those words on the screen of his monitor, Carter's eyes widened in surprise.He would have never expected that the one behind his current dilemma was Julia. His jaw protruded, and his gloomy demeanor echoed all over. But in the end, he answered his phone."Did you do it?""Yes," Julia admitted without remorse."You–" Carter's angry fingertips trembled, "Do you know hacker J?""Not familiar; it's just that I was lucky enough to have helped him once before."She knew about hacker J! Why hadn't she mentioned it to him before? He gritted his teeth in anger."You are sophisticated! What more are you hiding!" His words were full of disdain and sarcasm."Silly little Carter, I just helped him one and promised him not to say I knew him to others. It's just right that I keep it a secret, right? Besides, who has no secrets? Just because you were my fiancé before, I must tell you everything, right?"Every word that came out of Julia's mouth left Carter speechless.And Julia was stil

The man slowly bent down, his arm retracting from her knee, and then he embraced Julia tightly. Her pupils dilated as she found herself gazing into his handsome face, a mix of surprise and uncertainty washing over her. It was an unexpected move, considering his usual distance from women.Jared's proximity had always been a mystery to her, a puzzle that seemed to click into place after that day she had confronted him. She suddenly realized the key reason behind his avoidance of women – her ability to heal Shiloh's leg. It became evident that his compliance in the past was largely due to his desperation for her medical skills.Julia pondered the situation, realizing the need to maintain a delicate balance. She couldn't push him too far and risk crossing a line that would lead to her expulsion. And now, as he carried her upstairs, her astonishment grew. It was an act she hadn't anticipated.While these thoughts swirled in Julia's mind, Jared's voice cut through the air, commanding his as

Jared stood up, his attention ensnared by the mesmerizing sight that materialized before him. A vision of elegance and allure descended the staircase, captivating him with every step. The girl before him was a breathtaking transformation from the casual appearance he had grown accustomed to. She wore a black off-shoulder dress, adorned with intricate lace details that traced the curve of her collarbone. The alluring expanse of her neckline, punctuated by a delicate beauty mark, held an enchanting allure.The dress cascaded gracefully down, revealing a high slit skirt that showcased her legs like those of international supermodels. Her snowy skin stood out against the backdrop of the black fabric, an ethereal contrast that enhanced her beauty. The once-tousled hair had been transformed into luscious, slightly curled locks that framed her face. Her transformation from girl-next-door to enigmatic enchantress left him spellbound.Jared's unconscious rise from his seat betrayed his reactio

Julia's eyes blinked open, a gasp escaping her lips as she found herself trapped within Jared's proximity. Bewilderment painted her features, her thoughts echoing in the aftermath of her shock. Why was he so close, invading her personal space with an intent that mirrored a lover's desire?Yet, her musings held a rational thread. The idea of Jared harboring romantic inclinations towards women seemed far-fetched, a notion defying his station and appearance. Surely, if his heart inclined towards the fairer sex, he would have forged relationships, perhaps even fathered children.Jared's countenance bore a shadow, a cloud of melancholy darkening his features. Had it not been for Joseph's intervention, he would have triumphed, tasting the sweetness of her lips. "What's the matter?" Julia inquired, her voice laced with curiosity, unaware of the tumultuous thoughts swirling within Jared's mind.Joseph, too, grappled with an unsettling mixture of emotions. Nervously, he stammered, "Mr. Scott o
