Edwiin raised his hand to check the time on his wristwatch, then asked Suzanne, “Are you done eating? There’s less than an hour before the concert begins.” Suzanne waved her hand. Just as she was about to say that she needed to go back to her apartment to deal with something, Edwiin’s imposing manner and the deep look in his eyes made her swallow her words. She could only nod nervously. After dinner, Afra sent them out. She was afraid that it would be cold later, so she went upstairs to fetch a thin coat and stuffed it into Suzanne’s hands, telling her to take care of herself. When Edwiin took Suzanne’s bag for her, he took out the car keys from her bag and signaled to her that he was going to drive. Suzanne did not object and obediently sat in the passenger seat. The MG Great Hall was only 20 minutes away from the Morrison family’s house. It would be faster to take a shortcut, and they could arrive in 15 minutes. However, Edwiin chose to take th
Suzanne nodded vigorously, smiling, “He’s the Prince Charming I’ve loved for six years.” Hearing her words, Edwiin’s expression on his face was even colder. He seemed to be very unhappy. Without saying a word, he stepped on the accelerator and sped up. He turned the steering wheel slightly and went straight to the highway next to him. Suzanne also realized that something was wrong. Leaning against the back of the chair, the high speed made her a little flustered. After a long while, she braced herself and asked in a low voice, “E-Edwiin, are you on the wrong way?” “No,” Edwiin said in a flat tone, “I’ll take you for a ride.” Suzanne’s lips moved, but she didn’t dare to say anything in the end. An hour later, the car left the highway and was driving in another unfamiliar city. The car was a little oppressively quiet. Edwiin opened the window and habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He exhaled softly. A pale w
“Yes, you only remember Vito!” Edwiin pinched her chin with gloomy eyes. His terrifying momentum made Suzanne scared, “Suzanne, am I inferior to Vito?” Originally, Edwiin was still feeling sorry since he had slept with Suzanne last night in a fit of anger. He wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Suzanne and explain the situation. However, when Edwiin heard her telling him to forget about it as if it was a small matter, he became extremely angry. What he cared so much about was just a mistake for her? Suzanne was frightened by the way Edwiin acted. She widened her eyes and looked at him for a long time. She moved her lips and only managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty, “You’re my older brother.” “I’m your older brother?” Edwiin repeated her words, almost laughing out of anger. After saying “good” twice in a row, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her pale lips with his thin, cold lips. Suzanne was stunned for
Later, she didn’t stay at home for long. After breakfast, she went upstairs to change her clothes and left in a hurry when Afra wasn’t paying attention to her. Fortunately, her car was still there, so she did needn’t to take a taxi. There were a lot of cars today, and the flow of vehicles on this road was originally huge, so Suzanne was stuck in a traffic jam for an hour. By the time she arrived at the office, it was already past nine. Nancy was a little surprised when she saw Suzanne appear at the company. “Hey, Suzanne, David said that you would take three days off? Why are you here?” “I was busy at first, but now that I’m free, I should come.” Suzanne smiled and felt that the office with the air conditioner turned on wasn’t very cold, so she took off her suit jacket and hung it on the chair. “Besides, I am going to interview an important figure today. How can I not come?” “After David learned that you had asked for leave, he had asked
She was not a pushover. If Karen wanted to make trouble for her, she would fight back fiercely when necessary. Who would be afraid of her uncle who was just an assistant director? Just as Suzanne returned to her seat from the bathroom, her phone in the drawer rang. She took out her phone and checked the caller ID. When she saw the word “Edwiin” on the screen, her pupils contracted. She felt a little scared for no reason. After a moment of hesitation, she answered the phone and said in a low voice, “Edwiin.” “Didn’t I ask for leave for you to rest at home?” Edwiin’s voice was extremely cold. Suzanne could feel the chill on the other end of the phone. He was a little angry because of her disobedience. “I’m fine,” Suzanne said. Even though she was annoyed by what had just happened, she didn’t dare to show her emotion to Edwiin, “Edwiin, what’s wrong?” “I’ll pick you up after work later and go home for dinner.” It was not a question, but a commanding
"What should we do now?" said with some embarrassment. His position was in the lower position than Vito's. If he met with an important matter that could not be solved, he still had to ask for Vito who is the deputy general manager. "We have no choice. We need to find another partner." Vito stood up from the sofa with anger in his eyes. "I'm going to an international dinner party with Rae the night after tomorrow, so I can only find another partner at the banquet." Ten minutes later, Vito left the Morrison's Group with Keith. When he received Deirdre's call, Edwiin Morrison only responded with a grunt. After thinking about it, he picked up the document from the trash can and flipped through a few pages. He dialed a number and asked Deirdre to come to his office. He tore a piece of paper from the briefcase, picked up a pen, wrote a few words on it, and finally signed a string of phone numbers. When he folded the paper and put it into the document, Deir
Suzanne panicked and hurriedly took a step back. She seemed to have forgotten that she was wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes. She staggered to the side and her petite body was about to fall. Edwiin stretched out his long arm and held her waist tightly with his big hand. "Thank you," Suzanne said softly. Pushing him away with both hands, she tried her best to stand firm with an awkward expression on her face. After taking a deep look at her, Edwiin turned to Miss Duncan and asked lightly, "Aren't you working with a jewelry brand called Portsmouth? Can you get in touch with their design director?" "Yes. However, the Portsmouth branch only has one branch in Cherry City. It's not anywhere else." Miss Duncan said apologetically, "Mr. Morrison, it's very difficult to get the design director here. Why don't you go to Cherry City and have a look when you have time?" Edwiin frowned unhappily. The dinner party was in three days, so he had
"Mom, I'm not that fragile." Suzanne hugged Afra. "Besides, pigeon soup is so nutritious. Maybe I'll be full of energy tomorrow morning." Afra was amused by her words and nodded. "Okay, I'll ask Edwiin to send you home." "It's okay." Suzanne refused without hesitation. Seeing Afra look at her in confusion, she hurriedly smiled and said, "I mean, Edwiin must be very busy. I'll just ask the driver to drive me home." "It's okay. I'm not busy." Edwiin's deep voice came from the stairs on the second floor. "It's good that you're not busy." Afra was very happy when she saw Edwiin coming downstairs. "When you come back, buy a few boxes of papaya in the mall." Edwiin went out wearing a black shirt and black suit pants. Suzanne was upset, but since he had already gone downstairs, she couldn't refuse. She could only change her shoes at the entrance and follow him out. Edwiin took less than 20 minutes to drive her to the apartment she rented
