Lihat lebih banyakCheryl used the wall to support herself and took a deep breath.With a playful grin, she asked, "Mr. Lindt, why does it bother you when I'm close to someone else? Are you, by any chance, jealous?"Julian smiled. She couldn't tell if he was admitting what she said was true, or if he thought it was amusing that she had flattered herself.He said, "I wish you a happy day ahead.""Why, thanks." Then, Cheryl opened the door and walked off.Julian's gaze followed her. Her fair skin stood out against the black dress, seemingly gleaming. The dress also accentuated her slender waist and long legs. She walked off without looking back even once.Deadpan, he straightened his clothes and was once again a gentleman.When he came to the dining hall, Elaine was still waiting where he left her. Though it had been some time, she showed no hints of impatience.She thought it was odd when she didn't see Cheryl. "Where's Ms. York?""Jason picked her up.""When?""Just now. I talked to him for a
Cheryl was momentarily stunned out of fright. Then, she quickly picked up an empty plate on the table to shield herself from the soup.Alas, the plate wasn't big enough to protect her. The boiling hot bowl of mushroom soup ended up all over her. She quickly wiped it off her to prevent it from scalding her.Across from her, Julian was covered in mushroom soup, too. However, Cheryl's gaze uncontrollably fell on Elaine, who was in his arms.After the security took Lindsay away, Elaine stood up. She was still recovering from the shock. She used her bare hands to wipe off the remnants of the soup on Julian.Heartbroken, she scolded, "Why are you so silly? Why did you protect me? What if you got hurt?"Cheryl lowered her head. She was unwilling to see how caring Julian could be toward Elaine.She was drenched in the soup and couldn't wipe it off no matter how hard she tried.The restaurant manager hurried over and apologized to her. "We're sorry. That was one of our logistic staff. It
When Cheryl spoke, Elaine caught a whiff of a faint smell of perfume on her. There was a similar scent on Julian's coat last night.A glint crossed Elaine's eyes, but her expression didn't show it. "Oh, I thought you were buying clothes for Jason."Cheryl smiled awkwardly. "The relationship between Jason and me isn't what you think it is.""Really?" Elaine was surprised. "I thought you both had made peace.""No, we haven't," Cheryl denied.Elaine ended the topic abruptly. As she tugged Cheryl along, she asked her to help her choose some clothes.She said, "You have a great sense as a designer. I'm sure you have great taste, too. Help me pick a few outfits for Julian's daily wear. He can wear them when he accompanies me on outings."Cheryl chose a few outfits. Elaine took them all and asked the saleswoman from earlier to pack them up.The saleswoman glanced at the size. She jokingly commented, "What a coincidence. These clothes are the same size as the ones this lady chose earli
The next morning, Cheryl awoke to her phone ringing. As she answered it, Jesse's thunderous shout came through the receiver before she could say anything.Then, he ended his speech harshly by saying, "You should just stop working here. I'm afraid I can't accommodate 'Your Highness' here at my studio anymore."Come over in the morning and get your salary. You get nothing if you're late."Cheryl roughly estimated the pay she was supposed to get last month. It amounted to tens of thousands of dollars. There was no way she would give that up.She was aching all over. Withstanding the pain, she braced herself and went to the studio where she signed the salary slip.Jesse mocked, "Finally got what you wanted, huh? Oh, right. You're seeing Mr. Jason now. No wonder you're unwilling to continue working. I'd do that too if I were you."After signing the salary slip, Cheryl cast the pen aside. As she sat, she said, "Stop blabbering. Transfer the money to me now. I'll only leave when I get i
Besides the morning-after pills, Cheryl bought some supplements for Neil. Altogether, she spent almost 5000 dollars.When she was about to pay, the screen displayed that the things she bought amounted to 4900 dollars.The cashier asked, "We're having a promotion now. You'll get a 500-dollar discount if you spend 5000 dollars. Do you need anything else?"Cheryl wasn't keen on searching for something else to buy, so she simply took a box of condoms to reach the required amount.…When Julian opened the door to the Lindt residence, light spilled out from the living room. When he looked up, he saw that Lauren and Elaine were both there.The moment Elaine saw him, hope rekindled in her initially disappointed heart. She got up to greet him.Julian removed his jacket and passed it to her. Then, he went to Lauren. "Why haven't you gone to bed?""I'm waiting for you." Lauren was displeased. "Where have you been?""Didn't I tell you I was taking care of the matter?""You're lying. You
Cheryl gripped the phone, which was still ringing. Looking up, she stared at Julian. "Does this seem fun to you?""If you think otherwise, then pick it up.""Your mom will blow the top if I do. Elaine's her ideal daughter-in-law.""I sense your confidence." Julian narrowed his eyes. "But she doesn't give a damn about you."Cheryl took a deep breath and slid her thumb across the screen. The phone quieted.When he lowered his gaze, Julian realized Cheryl had rejected the call.She sneered. "Scared?"Julian gave her an even more scornful sneer. "Stop thinking too highly of yourself."He returned Lauren's call. As he dialed, he turned on the shower.When the call went through, he put it on speaker mode. Cheryl, who was in the bathtub, could hear Lauren speaking as well."How's it going, Julian?""I'm done. Will be back in a while.""Alright." Lauren heard the sound of the shower. She asked, "Are you taking a shower?"Julian hummed in acknowledgment."Why don't you shower when
Cheryl was sleepy, but her stomach ached so much she couldn't sleep. She asked softly, "I thought you said you were going to take care of Harold. Have you done that already?""I don't have to take care of the likes of him personally.""True. He didn't cause you and Elaine any trouble, after all."She closed her eyes and buried her face deeper into the coat. Soon, she fell asleep.When the car stopped, she woke with a start. However, she was too sleepy, and her eyes wouldn't open. So, she allowed Julian to carry her in.The night breeze was chilly as it blew against her exposed calves. She bent her knees and clung to Julian like an octopus.He radiated warmth, and so did his hands. When he removed her dress, she felt as though he would burn her.At this moment, she felt fragile. "Julian, my stomach hurts…" she begged softly. She wondered if he would feel sorry for her.Julian said nothing, and he didn't stop moving either.Cheryl buried her face in his neck. Every time his spee
Julian stood there without a care in the world. His figure was visible from the window. Anyone could easily recognize him.Cheryl was both startled and mad at the same time. Julian had only ever cared about the thrill he would feel without showing an ounce of concern about others.She was thankful that she spotted him first. If Jason had seen him instead, the dirty trade between them would've already come to light. If so, she would die of embarrassment.Taking a deep breath, she got out of the car and steadied herself. As she avoided Jason's touch, she said, "Thanks for taking me back. I'll be fine after a shower and a nap. It's no big deal."Jason's brows creased. Reaching out, he wiped the sweat off her forehead. "You look unwell. Are you sure you're fine?""Yeah. You should go back," she replied. "If you walk me up, who knows what rumors Jesse and the others would spread.""It's not like it bothers me. If you're willing, I can always make it known that we're seeing each other.
Jason seemed to be marking his territory. Feeling resigned, Lauren turned a blind eye to his actions.Upon seeing that the one who could take charge had come, Lindsay quickly said, "Mrs. Lindt, please speak up for us."Lauren ignored her and turned to the doctor. "How is he?"The doctor told her the truth. Cheryl had kicked Harold right where he was most vulnerable and injured him greatly.Lindsay wept as she said, "Harold's my only son. I'm looking forward to having grandchildren. What should he do now that he's so severely injured?"Lauren wasn't naive. She said calmly, "I've sent someone to check the CCTV footage. Why are you rushing things?"When Harold heard that they were really going to bring out the CCTV footage, he immediately changed his stance.He said, "I was drunk and didn't know what I was doing. I might have done something to her, but she seduced me first. I only did so because I wasn't thinking clearly."Everyone was used to his roguish ways and didn't seem surp
