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
Chapter 1171Harley looked at her and asked, "Is it yummy?""Yeah."The fish was so delicious that Cindy did not want to say no.Cindy ate a lot even though she decided to eat just a little. Not surprisingly, Cindy had gained another two pounds over the last five days before her college classmate's wedding.She had originally wanted to lose weight, but she failed. What was worse, she ended up gaining five and a half pounds, which greatly disappointed her.She knew that she could not fit into the bridesmaid's dress without trying it on.Finally, Harley had someone prepare the same kind of dress in a large size. When Cindy stuffed the dress into her suitcase, she pouted.Although she was frustrated, Cindy was happy to have Harley accompany her to the wedding despite his busy schedule.The bride, whose name was Sabrina Hard, was Cindy's college classmate, so she surely also knew Harley.Cindy's friends in college were just her roommates, all of whom knew that Cindy had a crush o
Chapter 1172Harley gave a sideway glance only at her ear, and he just said “H’m” with a deep voice as the coldness in his eyes was replaced by softness. He had seen through her but didn’t say anything.The two of them went out after picking up their luggage.The moment they got out of the airport, they saw Sabrina and the other girls.And the girls spotted Cindy at once. Blinking her eyes, Vicky, though dressed like a lady, shouted in a loud voice quite carelessly, “Gee, is there something wrong with my eyes or what? I think the man beside Cindy looks like Harley!“Sabrina gasped, “I don’t think you should blame your eyes. Cindy’s boyfriend is definitely Harley unless our eyes play tricks on us!”Pushing her glasses up, Sue exclaimed, “Only Cindy could win this man’s heart!”Who could ever imagine that Harley, the coldest man in the world, would throw himself at Cindy’s feet?While the girls were still in shock, Cindy and Harley had walked up to them.They were all in the sam
Chapter 1173Harley just spilled out those sappy words and caught Cindy by surprise. She quickly took a look at the three girls ahead in nervousness. They were nearly ten meters ahead of them, so it was impossible for them to overhear Cindy and Harley’s conversation. Nevertheless, Cindy still feared their hearing Harley’s sweet words.Cindy thought in the past that Harley was as cold as ice, and he treated everyone this same way. Her impression on him changed for the better after she had become his secretary this year or so, but he was still an aloof man in her eyes.It was after they had entered into a relationship that she found him a totally different man. He was a sappy man inside with a lot of sappy words in his mind. To make things worse, he would say those embarrassing words seriously, making her feel that it was improper to show shyness or agitation.It was like Harley could not care less about what others might think of him hearing him say those sensational words to Cindy.
Chapter 1174After buckling up, Harley didn't start the car. Instead, he asked, "What did I say?"Cindy found him unreasonable. She had stopped talking about it. Why was he so persistent?She turned sideways, looked out of the car window, and replied, "Nothing.""Upset?"He took her hand in his palm and did a gentle squeeze."No."Cindy was not that narrow-minded. It was just that Harley's words made her feel shy."Cindy."The man called out in a warm voice. Cindy looked back at him and said, "What's wrong? I'm not angry with you.""You don't like to hear that?"The question made Cindy's face burn again. Although what Harley had said was frivolous, every woman liked to hear honeyed words."It's not that I don't like it."Keeping her head low, she looked at her hand that was in his palm. Her pinkie retracted a little. "You should tell me in private."Harley looked at her rosy cheeks, and his eyes darkened. "I will."Cindy didn't know how to respond.While she was in a di
Chapter 1175Cindy was still in a deep sleep. Harley drove the car outside the hotel according to the satnav and then parked it in an open-air parking lot.Sabrina, Vicky and Sue had already arrived at the hotel, and they waited at the gate for a long time, but none of them saw Cindy and Harley.Vicky was a little worried. “Is something wrong?”They looked at each other in confusion. After hesitating for a while, Sabrina called Cindy.The other party picked up as soon as the phone was connected. “Hello.”Upon hearing this voice, Sabrina recognized it as Harley’s.She was stunned for a few seconds. Although many years had passed, she was still a little afraid of him. Sabrina’s throat tightened, and she asked timidly, “Harley, haven’t you arrived yet?”“We’re already here.”“But we didn’t see you ...”“Cindy is asleep. You guys can go back first. We’ll be there tomorrow morning.”Sabrina was rendered speechless when hearing his words, but since Harley had said this, she dared
Chapter 1176Sue was a pretty girl, and she never lacked a suitor. But she was not into marriage. Although she looked gentle and soft, she was actually a resolute girl. She started her own channel on Instagram in college, and she had her own studio before she graduated. Over a year after she graduated, she had achieved a million dollars in annual income. That was a big success for most graduates! Basically, Sue had money and lots of free time. She usually enjoyed tending her garden. She didn't have much interest in finding a boyfriend. Vicky was amused at Sue's words. "You are funny! It’s easy to find a guy but not easy to find a guy like Harley!" Sabrina was married, but she didn't have her wedding. She agreed with Vicky, "Exactly." Sabrina was not unhappy with her husband. But her husband was an engineer. He loved Sabrina very much, but he was straightforward, not romantic. He never paid much attention to the subtle de
Chapter 1177Only then did Cindy realize that she was not wearing shoes, and she got up hurriedly.Cindy would become particularly anxious in a strange environment, because she was shocked as a child. Stephen once took her to participate in his class reunion when she was a child. Because of something wrong, Cindy was taken to a suite and waited for Stephen.Cindy was only six or seven years old at that time, and when she knew that Stephen had something to deal with, she didn't cry or follow him. After Stephen coaxed her to fall asleep, she slept soundly in the suite.When she woke up, Stephen hadn’t come back. But he had prepared a lot of chips, candies and so on for her. As Cindy remembered that Stephen would pick her up soon, she enjoyed the munchies.But that night Stephen fought with someone and then went to the police station. A drunk happened to go to the wrong floor and keep knocking on the door of the suite violently. Cindy was so terrified that she burst into tears immedi
