Chapter 1161 Harley looked down at her. "Is there anything wrong?""Nothing."Cindy looked down at the pancake she was holding, and the bite where Harley had bitten was exactly where she had just taken a small bite.Didn't that mean they kissed indirectly?Cindy blushed when she thought about it. She suddenly felt that the pancake she was holding was very hot.Seeing that she hadn't said anything for a long time, Harley suddenly asked, "Are you a neat freak?""No! I don't have one!"When she heard his words, Cindy shook her head in a hurry. She was afraid that Harley would misunderstand her. Then, she thought about it and took a bite of the pancake.Cindy couldn't tell what pancake tasted like this time because all she could think about was the image of her and Harley kissing affectionately.Harley kissed her once last night. Because it was the first time she had been in a relationship since she grew up, Cindy was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of gesture."Do
Chapter 1162Harley, who had been remaining silent, suddenly called Kenyon. It seemed that only then did Kenyon realize that his boss was still standing by. Embarrassment instantly overwhelmed him. After all, he was a little excited when seeing the girl he liked. “Mr. Dane, have you had breakfast yet? If not, I can give you mine.”Without looking up, Harley said coldly, “It’s only three minutes before 9:10.”The smile froze on Kenyon’s face. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dane, I won’t be late next time! I’ll go up first!”Although he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to have a few words with Cindy, his job was also important!After saying that, Kenyon hurriedly ran to the elevator.But there were many people waiting to take the elevator now.After the elevator reached the first floor, several people were already standing inside. Kenyon went in and was about to ask Harley and Cindy if they wanted to come in. However, when he looked over, he saw Harley lower his head and help to adjust Cindy’s hair.
Chapter 1163Even if it was twelve years later, Harley still couldn’t forget that day. He had just completed the admission procedures. On the way back, he passed by his former junior high school, where the head teacher of the junior high school saw him and asked him if he wanted to earn some money after school.The head teacher opened a remedial class near the junior high school. As Harley’s grades had always been the first in his grade, he was qualified to be a teacher.The head teacher promised to give him 25 dollars per hour.At that time, Harley was in dire need of money.Although he didn’t have to pay tuition for high school and had won a scholarship, he was still very short of money, so he agreed without hesitation.The head teacher told him the location of the remedial classroom and gave him a spare key. After finalizing everything, they went home respectively.It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and Harley was planning to go home and cook for his grandmother.
Chapter 1164He did part-time jobs and made 3,000 dollars in a semester. The day he fainted, he had planned to go to the hospital to pay the money and let his grandmother have chemo. But he was stopped by the bullies from the vocational high school. He brawled with them like a wolf, but he still lost the 3,000 bucks in the end. On the way back, he felt like his world was all dark. He walked in the snow like one without a soul, but he could feel that someone was watching him. 'Laughing at me, right?' he thought. He had been ridiculed for a long time. When he was young, some laughed at his grandmother for picking up things others threw to sell; when he was older, some mocked him as a parentless wild child; when he got older, some taunted him for being one who would haggle over a penny. He let them laugh, and he was already used to it. This world was like this. When your weak points were shown, others would only laugh at you. When he fell, he thought his falling was good.
Chapter 1165"Mr. Dane?"Cindy had forgotten about what had happened that day, which had been nearly 12 years ago. She was less than 12 then, and she could not recall the details of it.However, it didn't matter at that moment. The elevator door opened, but Harley had not come to his senses.The elevator stopped on the 17th floor, where Harley's office was. Cindy hesitated for a while and addressed him as Mr. Dane.The familiar address made Harley come to his sense. He took a look at Cindy, a flicker of delight in his cold eyes, "Yes."He then stepped out.The news of Harley and Cindy's relationship spread throughout the company all morning.During the lunch break, Cindy went to the washroom, and several women who were discussing their relationship came in."Tut-tut, reserved president and cute secretary. Perfect match!""Secretary James is really lovely. Honestly, if I were a man, I would go after her.""Come on. Secretary James is Mr. Dane's! I knew it on her first day at w
Chapter 1166Cindy dried her hands and walked out. Just as she returned, Damion told her, "Miss James, Mr. Dane wants to see you now."Trusting him, Cindy nodded, walked over, and knocked on Harley's office door."Please come in."Hearing Harley's voice, Cindy dared to push the door in.It was noon break time. There were several lunch boxes on the table, and Harley was sitting on the couch.Before Cindy walked over, she could smell the delicious food.She recently wanted to lose weight, so she only had a vegetable salad for lunch.Smelling the meat, Cindy felt as if she hadn't eaten lunch.She was still hungry.When she came in, Harley looked up at her. "Come here."He called out to her, then reached out and opened the lid of the lunchbox.The moment he opened the lid, the smell of the delicious food became more obvious.Cindy walked over. Looking at the sweet and sour pork and the delicious grilled T-bone steak, she felt her mouth almost watered."Mr. Dane, haven't you h
Chapter 1167Cindy's senses reminded her that she shouldn't continue eating, but the smell of shrimp was so appealing that she lost control. What's more, Harley had removed the coat of the shrimps for her and brought them to her lips. All she had to do was open her mouth and took a bite. And then she could taste the tender shrimp. Who could resist that? At last, Cindy couldn't resist the temptation of shrimp and Harley's attentiveness. She opened her mouth and ate the shrimp. "Is it good?" "Yes." Cindy mumbled as she was chewing on the shrimp. "Is it? I find it just fine." Then Harley handed another peeled shrimp up to Cindy's lips. "Taste it carefully." Cindy couldn't resist the temptation of the shrimp. She decided to forget about diet. It would be tomorrow's business. She ended up eating half of the shrimp and two-thirds of the steak. Her stomach was so full that she had to turn down the food Harley handed her. "No, n
Chapter 1168Not long after she worked with Harley, she knew that he was a neat freak, so it was impossible for him to eat another person’s leftovers.But now he was eating her leftover dishes.Cindy didn’t know how to describe her current feeling, and she just felt warm and happy.Noticing her gazing at him, Harley looked up at her. "Do you still want to eat?"Cindy felt embarrassed. "I can't eat that much.""You didn’t eat much."Few women wanted to be regarded as a big eater.Hearing this, Cindy became happier.She was drinking the hawthorn tea while Harley was eating, neither of whom spoke. The office was very quiet, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.Almost few people thought that Harley, such a detached man, would peel shrimps for his girlfriend and eat her leftovers.Everyone who knew it would be surprised by Harley’s love for Cindy.Though Harley ate quickly, his bearing was not rude at all. Cindy had not drunk half of the hawthorn tea before he had finished hi
