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
Chapter 1169Cindy was in a relationship for the first time since her birth, and this was the first time she had kissed a man so seriously. When Harley let go of her, she felt like she was soft from head to toe. It was so unreal that her brain was still blank now. She was in his arms, and his scent was all over her. It seemed that her whole body was deep inside him. "It's sweet."The man's voice suddenly came from above her head. Cindy regained a little consciousness, subconsciously looking up at Harley. She happened to see him licking his red, thin lips in a way of savoring the feeling.She was so ashamed that her mind went blank. When she heard the knocking on the door, she flinched a bit like a startled rabbit. Realizing it, she immediately pushed Harley away. Standing almost thirty centimeters away from him, she took out tissues to hastily wipe herself. Harley glanced at her, not immediately responding to the person outside the door. The person outside knocked twice a
Chapter 1170"I'm not lying!"To prove that it didn't hurt, Cindy raised her foot and gently kicked the table. "I'm okay."After doing that, Cindy felt she was childish.Seeing that she was embarrassed, Harley said, "I see."He helped her put on her shoe, "You don't need to go outside. There is a bathroom in the lounge.""I know."She didn't want to go to the bathroom. She just felt it was titillating to stay alone with Harley in the office. Cindy was afraid that she would do something crazy.After all, she had been coveting Harley for a long time.The wedding of Cindy's college classmate would take place late in December. Cindy had intended to lose weight in half a month. She would be content if she lost several pounds.Cindy didn't want to be very thin. She had always been buxom but not fat.Yet she would look better in the bridesmaid's dress if she was thinner.She could manage to put on a small-size dress now. Thus, she wanted to lose some pounds so that the dress would
