"Okay!" Jeremy squeezed out a word and looked at his watch, "You're late, Miss Edwards!""Mr Black, I'm sorry!" Barbara immediately apologized.."I'm sorry? Do you know my rules?""I know! I know! About the kidney, Mr Black..."Jeremy raised his bandaged wrist and blew on it. He glsnced sideways at Barbara and said, "The kidney is nothing difficult for me, but..."Barbara tried to be patient, "I will do anything as long as you can help me!""Anything?" Jeremy said in a dragging voice."That ..except that..." Barbara stammered.Jeremy raised his eyebrows. This woman was quite interesting. Other women couldn't wait to get with him, yet she seemed to be very reluctant to get involved with him.Novelty seeking was his favorite thing. Barbara was gorgeous and exactly his type. Rushing would not help him to get to her heart.Thinking of that, Jeremy curled up his lips into a charming smile and said, "Do you still want to quit?""No, I won't quit!""Since that's the case, sign the contract!
Hearing Barbara asked for 10 millions dollars rudely and even threatened his mother, Dexter's eyes darkened.Raina could tell that her son was angry. "Dexter, Barbara is not a good person. It'd going to be bad if she literally spills the beans. You have to find a way to drive her out of San Francisco and never come back again!"."I see. Mom, don't go to look for her. I will handle it" Dexter picked up his coat and left home.His cell phone rang shortly after he drove off. Dexter picked up and saw that it was a text message. "Your credit card ending in ##### is debited with 3,000 dollars towards the ATM cash withdrawal"Dexter was stunned. This was the card he threw to Barbara that day. It surprised him that she would actually take the money out Madam of it. If seemed that she really needed money.Uncle. Has While pondering another text message showed up, "Your credit card ending in #### has been debited with 8,000 dollars towards the ATM cash withdrawal "Dexter thought for a while a
On the way back, Dexter leaned in the back seat with his eyes closed. It seemed that he was resting, yet only he knew that he wasn't resting at all. His mind was a complete mess.It had been three years, the person who disappeared for three years suddenly cane back. But instead of being surprised, he was deeply troubled by it. "Where did she go in the past three years?"How did she and Jeremy get together? He had always thought that she was with Nathan for the past three years. It seemed that the situation was different from what he expected.In a trance, he couldn't help but think of that day three years ago.Three years ago, he found the house eerily quiet when he opened the door of the villa in the morning. He stood in the living room for a moment and stomped upstairs. To his surprise, there was no one inside when he opened the bedroom door He figured that she might have gone to shop for groceries, do he went in and sat on the bed, quietly waiting for her to come back.Two hours w
Jeremy and Barbara returned to the office after lunch. He suddenly asked Barbara in a serious tone, "Have you picked the engagement gift I asked you to choose for Dexter?""No!""Well you don't need to pick the gift now. I have already asked someone to buy it. You can either deliver it on behalf of me!""I will deliver it for you?" Barbara was shocked."Yes, you will do it!" Jeremy said in an unquestionable manner. Barbara realized that she was making a fuss. She was Jeremy's assistant. How could she not follow her boss orders?Dexter had long been a stranger to her. It was not a big deal for her to send a gift to an ordinary customer.David handed over the gift he bought to Barbara. She went to Dexter's company right away.The receptionist stopped bet and said she had to have an appointment to meet with the president. Barbara told her that she was Mr blacks assistant and came here to send a gift on behalf of the Golden Age Group. The receptionist immediately called for instructions.
Back in Jeremy's company, he was sitting in his office and having a fit if temper with a stern face. Documents were scattered all over the floor.David lowered his head and stood without saying a word. Barbara quickly picked up and organized the documents and put them in front of Jeremy. Jeremy wiped the anger on his face upon seeing Barbara. "Call Keaton, the guy who's in charge of the city construction!""Okay!" Barbara immediately picked up the phone and called Keaton.She reported to Jeremy immediately after the call, "Mr Black, Keaton agreed!""Agreed? Haha, that old fox!"Jeremy sneered with a weary look in his eyes. It was said that Keaton from the city construction bureau was a tough but. As long as he was on board, everything would be easy to handle.However, Dexter must have also thought of whatever Jeremy could think of. Furthermore, Dexter had one more card to play, Steven cooks. Jeremy's chances of winning were very slim if secretary Cook weighed in.This made things quie
The door was suddenly pushed open after that. A cold voice rang out, "Mr Smith, you are surely enjoying yourself!"Barbara recognized that familiar voice abd looked at the door in a daze. Wearing a black suite, Dexter stood at the door and watched everything with a cold expression.Barbara's blurred vision gradually became clear. She could see a smile on that familiar face. He looked at them without any emotions in his eyes.Barbara closed her eyes in agony. She would rather be raped than let this man see her in such a sorry plight."Mr Lorenzo!" Randy didn't expect that Dexter would drop in out of the blue. He wore an ingratiating smile on his face. "what brought you here?""This is my turf!" Dexter said in a calm voice , "Randy, you're causing trouble in my territory. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"Dexter was aloof by nature and never liked to meddle in other people's business. Randy had assaulted other women in front of him in the past and had never seen him intervenin
Thomas was astounded to see the bruises on Barbara's face when she went to the hospital, "what's wrong?""It's nothing. I bumped into something by accident!" Barbara forced a smile. "Uncle, how do you feel today?"Much better. Staying in the hospital costs a lot of money. The doctor said I'm recovering well. I want to check out tomorrow and recuperate at home."Knowing Thomas was worried about the expenses of the hospital, Barbara felt a pang in her heart. "We're not going to leave the hospital. You need to stay here for a few more days before you're fully recovered""I'm really alright now, Barbara!""Uncle, you don't have to worry about money, I have money. Mr Black offered me a high salary.""Jeremy treats you well indeed. But you're not alone anymore, Barbara. Besides a sick uncle, you have a child to take care of. Eden is growing up every day. You can't leave him to Nathan forever right? Your son needs his mother"The mention of Edens name made Barbara's face dim. Yes, she still
However, things were difficult when Jeremy got involved. The Black's family was also powerful. Mostly important, Barbara was working for Jeremy. If he could benefit them, why wouldn't he help his daughter?Much to surprise, he saw the bruises on Barbara's lips. He also knew that Jeremy and Randy had a fight and were taken to the police station at noon.At that time, Steven was still wondering why Jeremy would offend Keaton at the junction. But now when he saw Barbara's bruised lips, he was certain that Randy bullied Barbara abd Jeremy was taking revenge for her, which made Steven raving mad."Barbara, I will settle the score with Keaton.Barbara darted a look at him. "Mr Cook, my business has nothing to do with you. You had better not waste time and go back to accompany your wife and daughter!""Barbara, I'm here to tell you something about Jeremy" in front of Barbara, Steven didn't seem like the exalted secretary at all.Barbara's expression softened when she heard him mentioning Jer
