I wish it were you Chapter 596 Life Without You is Boring
When Julissa heard that voice, a smile immediately spread across her face. She turned and instantly forgot about the unpleasant moment.She turned around and saw Lucas standing in front of her."Lucas... ah..."Before she could finish her greeting, Lucas had already grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him. With his other hand, he supported her waist.In one swift motion, Julissa found herself in the middle of the dance floor with Lucas.The first dance was nearing its end, and the rhythm was relatively slow.However, Julissa, caught off guard by Lucas’s sudden move, had yet to get into the rhythm. He seemed to be deliberately testing her dancing skills, which made her steps a little awkward.She felt like she was struggling to catch up, her movements all over the place."Julissa, how long has it been since you practiced? Your little feet are all over the place." Lucas teased her.Julissa stuck out her tongue. "About a month, I guess..."Then, she frowned. "You’re the one with the c

When Scott walked to the edge of the balcony and looked toward the dance floor, he saw her dancing gracefully in a white spaghetti-strap dress with a man. Her movements were elegant and beautiful, like a white swan gliding into the banquet hall. They danced with poise and beauty, a perfect match in appearance, and had already become the center of attention.Scott narrowed his eyes.What was the relationship between that man and her?Why were they so in sync?And the way she looked at him—her focus and the radiance in her eyes—Scott had never seen anything like it before. It was as if, in that moment, there were only the two of them in the entire banquet hall.A sour, bitter feeling surged from the depths of his heart.He left the balcony and turned to his friend. "Excuse me for a moment, we’ll catch up later."Scott left the second floor and returned to the first-floor banquet hall with a cold, gloomy aura.At that moment, Annabelle and Kendrick were also on the first floor. They had

As the second dance ended, Lucas supported Julissa’s waist and finished the dance with a graceful and smooth backward bend.The onlookers praised them, and some even clapped.However, through her inverted perspective, Julissa spotted a dark, somber face in the crowd.It was Scott, standing on the sidelines, watching her with an unreadable, gloomy expression.Julissa had no idea how long he had been watching, but a cold sweat broke out on her back. She felt like a schoolgirl caught skipping class by the teacher. Hastily, she straightened up and said to Lucas, “I should go.”Lucas, however, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back in front of him, handing her his phone. “Save your new number.”During the dance, the two of them had been so focused, almost competing in their dancing, with barely any small talk.Lucas wanted to catch up and hear about her recent life.Julissa hurriedly shared her contact details, saying, “I really need to go. If I don’t, my boss will say something.”Lucas loo

Making a young girl drink on his behalf—how shameless! Julissa lamented inwardly.Could it be because she had abandoned him earlier to dance with someone else, leaving him standing alone? Now, was CEO Nichols abusing his power to make her suffer?She had just complimented him on his noble character and the idea that he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, but now Julissa was retracting all her positive comments about Scott. He was extremely petty, vengeful, and cunning.She silently complained but dared not say anything, since after all, he was her boss."Assistant Hickman, do you have a problem?"Julissa shook her head. "No.""Good."Julissa followed Scott through the crowd, and soon, someone came over to offer a toast to him.Scott shamelessly handed the glass to Julissa."I can't drink recently; she’ll drink on my behalf," he boldly told his friend.In the business world, people often became excited at the prospect of making women drink. The man praised Julissa’s good dr

Julissa raised a glass of champagne and said, "Mr. Howard, this is for you."She tilted her head back and drank the first glass in one go.Mr. Howard laughed heartily. "Miss Hickman is truly generous! I like this kind of girl!"Julissa dabbed at the wine on her lips and glanced carefully at the icy boss beside her.Just in time, she made eye contact with Scott, and she couldn’t help but shudder.Why did his gaze seem even more terrifying now?Could it be that he was worried she wouldn’t be able to handle three glasses?Though she was starting to feel a little dizzy, she could hold her liquor. A few more glasses wouldn’t take her down.Mr. Howard had already handed her the second glass, his smile wide as he said, "Miss Hickman, please."Julissa took a deep breath, accepted the glass, and was about to drink when Scott stopped her by gripping her wrist."Don’t force yourself if you can’t handle it.""I’m fine, CEO Nichols," Julissa reassured him in her mind. Since this was an important b

"Then think it over again." Scott's voice was cold.Mr.Howard frowned, unwillingly glancing at Julissa before leaning in toward Scott. "Mr. Nichols, she's just a small assistant. Is this really necessary? We're talking about a billion-dollar project."Julissa overheard Mr.Howard's words, but once she had alcohol in her system, her brain stopped working properly. The cryptic conversation went over her head, and she couldn't figure it out immediately.She only sensed that Scott was angry."I don’t do business by trading women. Mr.Howard, you must have misunderstood. My apologies."Mr.Howard froze for a moment before laughing heartily. He clasped his hands together in a gesture of apology. "That was my mistake. Let's discuss the contract another time."Julissa stared blankly at Mr.Howard as he walked away, puzzled. "Mr. Nichols, why didn’t you let me sign the contract? It was so close to being finalized."Scott’s face remained dark. "He wanted to take you upstairs to take advantage of yo

Julissa was already drunk, her mind foggy, but she couldn't shake the feeling that Ariana and Cael were up to something sneaky.Are they planning something against Anna?She knocked on her hazy head, trying to stay clear-headed.She stood up, intending to head over to Annabelle.Even if she didn’t know what she could do, at least being by Anna’s side would be better than nothing.But as soon as she got up, the world spun, and her legs felt like they were stepping on cotton. She couldn’t even stand properly.Scott caught her. "Where are you going?"Julissa raised her hand and pointed in Annabelle’s direction.Scott followed her finger, which was aimed toward the banquet hall's exit. Thinking she wanted to leave, he simply said, "Alright," and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her straight out of the hall through the side door.The pressure against her stomach from being carried made Julissa feel sick. She clutched Scott’s shirt tightly, burying her head in his chest, desperately hol

Julissa didn’t quite catch the implication of that "again."She thought Scott had simply seen through the crush she once had on him.But more importantly—how could he say such flirtatious things so casually, without even blinking?!"Mr. Nichols, don’t you feel embarrassed saying things like that?"He smirked lightly, amusement flashing in his eyes. "If you’re not embarrassed, why should I be?"Julissa tilted her head, grinning mischievously as she leaned in closer. "So… does that mean I can flirt with you however I want?"Scott flicked her forehead, shaking his head helplessly. "Julissa, I really should record you right now."Just then, the car arrived. Scott helped her inside, and they both sat in the back seat.The driver asked, "Mr. Nichols, to the office or…?"Scott originally planned to return to the office, but after glancing at Julissa—who had instantly fallen asleep the moment she leaned against the window—he sighed."Take us home."He was the one who got her drunk, so he had

I wish it were you Chapter 1020 A Bittersweet Farewell
“Stop it, don’t say that!” Annabelle quickly interrupted him.Kendrick chuckled, “Well, you scared me first.”She had no choice but to comfort him instead. “Maybe I’ve just been too anxious lately and overthinking. Don’t be afraid.”Kendrick sighed and gently rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”Annabelle nodded. She felt the atmosphere was getting a little heavy. Since they couldn’t change the fact that they had to part, they might as well talk about something lighter.“When you come back, can you buy me two boxes of red bean cakes? From that pastry shop in Bellingham `Alley. One for me and one for Julissa, she loves red bean filling too.”Kendrick smiled and agreed, “Anything else?”Annabelle said, “There’s also a clay figurine shop on Lawrence Street. They make really cute little clay dolls. Can you bring me a pair? I want to put them on the bookshelf.”“Sure. What else?”Annabelle tried to think hard. She had only been to North City once, b
I wish it were you Chapter 1019 If You Don’t Like It, Throw It Away
In truth, Kendrick had overestimated her.Five minutes later, Annabelle was completely defeated. She pushed Kendrick away and glared at him, her face red.Kendrick chuckled. “Still mad? Then how about…”“I’m not mad anymore!” Annabelle quickly interrupted.Smiling, Kendrick helped her get dressed, while he himself hadn’t even undone a single button the whole time.Annabelle sighed once more—she really was no match for the sly old fox. The moment she so much as wagged her tail at him, he had her thoroughly handled.She felt exhausted now and truly just wanted to lie down and rest.Kendrick glanced at the time and said there was still an hour before he had to leave. He told Anna to rest here for a bit—he would stay with her.So Annabelle lay on Kendrick’s lap and drifted off to sleep.Who knows how long had passed when she drowsily felt Kendrick pinch her earlobe. “Anna, I have to go. I’ll have Jax take you home to sleep.”Annabelle’s eyes flew open. “No, I want to see you off.”Kendric
I wish it were you Chapter 1018 So Easy to Make People Hate You
Annabelle followed Kendrick back to the sofa and nestled into his arms.“Anna, I need to confirm something with you.”“Mm, go ahead.”Annabelle was tired and slowly lay down, resting her head on his thigh.“When you suddenly took off your shoes on stage earlier, was that improvised or did something happen?”Annabelle looked at him and replied that it definitely wasn’t an improvised move. It was her first time on the runway—she wouldn’t dare be reckless. The heels had a problem, so she had no choice but to take them off.Kendrick nodded. “I see. That explains it.”“Explains what?”Seeing how serious he looked, Annabelle grew a bit uneasy—this didn’t seem simple.Kendrick hesitated for two seconds, then showed her the video Jax had given him.It was footage taken backstage while the models were getting ready before going on stage. The cameraman had been arranged by Gauge to capture some behind-the-scenes content for the post-event promo video. Annabelle remembered this and had even gree
I wish it were you Chapter 1017 Like a Dream
After Julissa left, Annabelle originally wanted to return to the dressing room to remove her makeup. But the room was packed—during the short time she was gone, her previous seat had been taken by another model.They were all touching up their makeup, preparing to showcase jewelry on stage later.Since Annabelle’s part was already done, it wouldn’t be right to fight for space, so she decided to head to the lounge and change her clothes instead. As for her makeup, she could just take it off at home.With that in mind, Annabelle headed into her private lounge.As she opened the door and stepped in, the lights were off. Just as she reached out to turn them on, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and she fell into a strong, warm man’s embrace. The man quickly shut and locked the door behind them.She let out a startled cry, but the man silenced her with a kiss, swallowing her panicked gasp.He kissed her deeply. At first, Annabelle resisted, but soon she stopped struggling.Because the scent
I wish it were you Chapter 1016 Not Playing Along Anymore
Annabelle said somewhat regretfully, “My husband is on a business trip. I’ll probably just go home and sleep after this…”Truth be told, she did long for Kendrick’s praise and appreciation. Even if he only took her to grab some street food or shared a simple bowl of noodles at home to celebrate, she’d still feel completely content.But Kendrick was out of town, too busy to even attend the event, let alone celebrate.The interview wrapped up—everything that needed to be asked was asked, and things that shouldn’t be asked, Linda chose not to bring up. She ended it at the right moment.As she was about to leave, a flicker of emotion flashed through Linda’s eyes. She looked at Annabelle and said, “It’s been years since anyone cared whether I lived or died. Thank you, Ms. Sanchez.”Annabelle shook her head and looked into her eyes seriously. “I’ll be waiting for you to come find me.”Linda gave a slight nod.They parted ways—Annabelle headed toward the dressing room, while Linda told the c
I wish it were you Chapter 1015 Maybe It's Because He's Handsome
At the check-in area of the press conference, Annabelle was being interviewed.Only one reporter was present today, but microphones and recording devices from multiple media outlets had already been set up on a small podium in advance.Annabelle stood on one side of the podium to make it easier for the microphones to pick up her voice.Before this, Gauge had asked her if she wanted to be interviewed. If she didn’t, he wouldn’t arrange it.Annabelle was a little resistant, but she agreed in the end.First, she was the brand ambassador, and it was her duty to cooperate with the promotion.Second, she had been avoiding the media for a long time, which only made the paparazzi even more eager to get her story. They had been chasing her down and trying everything to interview her.Even more frustrating, when they couldn’t get a real interview, they just made things up.Since that was the case, she figured she might as well accept the interview openly.Gauge understood her personality. To pr
I wish it were you Chapter 1014 Kicking Off the Heels
The stylist handed the shoes to the girl, who quickly walked over to Annabelle.“Thank you,” Annabelle said as she took the shoes.“No worries!” the girl replied before hurrying off—she was about to go on stage.Annabelle bent down to change her shoes.The girl looked back at her, the corners of her mouth lifting in a slight smile, then stepped onto the runway.After putting on the heels, Annabelle stood up and took a few steps to get used to them. The heels were high, but she had worn taller ones before—she wasn't worried about twisting an ankle.Time ticked by. The runway show was nearing its end.Finally, it was her turn.Taking a deep breath, Annabelle stepped onto the runway, wearing designer Malina’s signature piece for the season.Applause filled the venue as she made her entrance.It was her first runway walk. Even though she had rehearsed countless times in her mind—and practiced on-site—it still felt entirely different in the moment.So many eyes were on her. To say she wasn
I wish it were you Chapter 1013 He Can Pamper Her However He Wants
Kendrick paused for a couple of seconds—was Briley on the phone with Anna?After all, among the people going on stage today, the only one she could speak to in such an overbearing tone was likely Anna.Briley ended the call, though it sounded more like the other person had hung up on her. She came out of the stairwell with a dark expression.A male staff member happened to walk by, and she grabbed him to ask, "Hey, where's the models' makeup room?"The staff member pointed toward Kendrick and said, "Ma'am, head forward, turn right, go down to the first floor. The first room on your right is the one."Briley followed his gesture and, of course, saw Kendrick standing there.Kendrick gave her a faint nod. It was obvious from her stiff expression that she hadn’t expected to run into him.But she quickly forced a smile and walked over.They weren’t far apart, so she reached him in just a few steps."What a coincidence, Kendrick. Fancy running into you here. Have you been busy lately? How’s
I wish it were you Chapter 1012 A Pitiful Soul
Dale said that six months ago, she suddenly received an email from a stranger.The email contained dirt on her—scandals from before and shortly after she entered the entertainment industry. That person used it to threaten her into doing their bidding.Almost every piece of negative news about Annabelle on the internet in the past six months had been spread by Dale.But she had only ever communicated with the person via phone calls—never met them in person. What’s more, it was a one-way communication: the person always called her, using a hidden number and a voice changer. Dale didn’t even know if the person was male or female.What she could confirm, however, was that the person knew everything about Annabelle’s life—including her past—and had even provided a large number of photos, both recent and from her childhood, for Dale to use in edited images.Dale hadn’t kept doing it just because the person held something over her. That person had also painted her a beautiful lie—saying that
