Beverley had prolonged nightmares. When she woke up in the morning, her whole body felt feverish. Her throat was sore, and both of her cheeks were swollen.She groaned while holding her head. The memory of last night’s terrible incident immediately haunted her. She closed her eyes to calm down.“You’re awake.” Brent came out of the bathroom and immediately approached Beverley. He touched her fevered forehead.Beverley immediately brushed the man’s hand away. She moved away warily. “You... you....”“I’m Brent,” he said. Beverley felt more relieved after hearing that. She was afraid that the man was Chris.“You still have a fever. I’ll ask Ellie to compress you.” Brent was about to leave, but Beverley held back his hand.“Brent,” the woman called out in a hoarse voice.“Hm?”Beverley gave the man a complicated look. She closed her eyes and whispered guiltily, “I’m sorry.”Brent sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her. “Sorry for what?”“I wrongly accused you,” Beverley said slowly as
Brent came home late at night, as usual. He quickly went up to his room and saw that Beverley was already asleep. She was curled up under a thick blanket.He quickly cleaned himself up before laying his tired body at Beverley’s side. His hand moved to touch her forehead. She no longer had a fever.Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes and immediately screamed hysterically. She hit Brent and pushed him off the bed.“Beverley!” Brent immediately held back her hand in annoyance. “It’s me. Brent!”Beverley immediately shut her mouth. She withdrew her hand, feeling awkward. “I’m sorry. I thought....”Brent snorted. Would he have to change his face to not look like Chris? Having a twin brother was such a hassle!“Did you just get home?” Beverley asked cautiously.“Hmm,” Brent replied briefly as he leaned his body against the headboard. He had already finished today’s work, so he felt more relaxed.“Brent....”The man turned his head. Beverley cleared her throat before asking something. “Aren’
Beverley woke up in the middle of the night and didn’t see Brent in the bedroom. She checked his study, and he wasn’t there either. “Is he downstairs?”She waited for a while, but Brent still didn’t come. Finally, she went downstairs. She turned on all the lights and searched for Brent.“Is he home yet?”She peered into the courtyard to confirm the whereabouts of Brent’s car. It turned out that the car he usually uses wasn’t there. That meant Brent wasn’t home yet.“How strange.”Beverley returned to the bedroom. She checked her cell phone. There were no messages from Brent. She let out a long breath. “Forget it. Maybe he’s sleeping somewhere else.”Beverley finally went back to sleep. She had no idea that Brent was currently at an elite nightclub. He was sitting at a bar table with Jace.“Give me another Old Fashioned,” Brent asked the bartender.“Do you want to get drunk?” Jace asked from the side. “It looks like Natalie’s arrival has you depressed.”Brent laughed mockingly. “I’ve a
Beverley was not quite asleep when she suddenly felt a caress in her hair. She was sleepy and just let it go. The caress went down to her lips and neck. It turned into a warm kiss on the nape of her neck.“Brent, move!” She pushed Brent’s body, which was behind her. However, the man did not listen to her. He continued kissing her neck and even sucked on it.Beverley immediately got goosebumps. She opened her eyes and turned her head. Her hand silenced Brent’s mouth and pushed him away. “Brent, if you go on like this, you’ll be the one torturing yourself!”“But I can’t help it,” the man whispered.“But I don’t want to!” Beverley became annoyed. “Go see your girlfriend! She’s prettier and sexier than me. She will definitely satisfy you more!”“Who said that?”“Me,” Beverley retorted. She rolled her eyes, then moved away from Brent and closed her eyes again. Suddenly, he pulled her close and hugged her tightly.“You’re wrong.” Brent rested his chin on her shoulder. “You’re more beautiful
The next morning, Beverley woke up late because she had slept too late last night. She quickly got ready to go to work. As she was putting her makeup kit into her bag, Brent woke up.He frowned when he saw Beverley busy. This was the weekend. Why did she still have to go to work?"Can you come home early?""Why?" Beverley asked while putting on her high heels. "I can't come home early unless it's urgent."Brent snorted at that. He suddenly remembered something. “Evelyn will be getting married soon and quitting her job. I can let you take her place,” he said.“Be your secretary?” Beverley laughed amusingly. “I already see you at home, and I have to see you all day at the office too? Oh my. I can’t imagine seeing you day and night.”The man gave Beverley a flat look. However, she paid him no attention. “I’m leaving now,” she said.“I’ll drive you.” Brent got off the bed and washed his face quickly.“Brent, you don’t have to bother driving me,” Beverley objected.“Just once in a while,”
Beverley took a sip of water with trembling hands. She had never once thought that Chris would come to see her. She felt uneasy.“What if he comes again? What does he want?”She took another sip of her water and then took a deep breath to calm down. “Maybe it’s just my overthinking. Chris wouldn’t dare do anything here,” she muttered.Finally, she stepped out of her office. As she passed the cashier’s desk, Ciara suddenly called out to her. “Ma’am, are you alright?” she asked.Beverley shook her head. “You don’t think I’m okay?”Ciara cleared her throat. She said hesitantly, “It looks like you fought with Mr. Oliver. I saw him come out of the café with an unpleasant expression.”“Ciara, he’s not....” Beverley wanted to explain but then dropped her words. She couldn’t possibly tell others that the person who had just come to see her wasn’t Brent.The Oliver family was hiding Chris’ existence. So, she couldn’t reveal it either. Otherwise, she might get into trouble.“Pardon?” Ciara aske
Brent became addicted to teasing and seducing Beverley. Throughout dinner, he was always doing those things, making her face flush with embarrassment. She became annoyed with him.“Forget it! I’m not going to the supermarket!” grumbled Beverley as she brushed Brent’s hand away. She hurried to the car, leaving him behind.“Why? Could it be that you can’t wait to get into bed with me?” Brent’s footsteps stopped. He didn’t pursue her.“Brent, stop teasing me!” exclaimed Beverley in annoyance. She opened the car door, but it was still locked. The man looked at her with a smirk, making her even more annoyed. “Mr. Oliver!”Brent suddenly approached and pushed her back against the car door. His right hand rested on the side of her head. His left hand combed through her brown hair and squeezed it.His gaze fell deeply into her eyes, diving to the bottom of her heart. The woman’s face began to flush red. Her lips were moist, red, full, and seductive.He leaned over and kissed her lips. Beverle
In the afternoon, Mr. Davis and Beverley had a meeting at a famous restaurant. They were busy discussing their partnership in more detail.After a while, they finally reached a lot of agreements. Beverley smiled happily because Mr. Davis was a very kind and reasonable person. She didn’t even have to make any offers.“When do you think you’ll be ready?” Mr. Davis asked as he looked at the woman across from him.“Anytime. But please don’t give us a big event first. I need to see if my staff can handle it,” Beverley replied seriously.“Of course. I’ll let my assistant send you the schedule on Monday—ah, Tuesday. Aren’t you guys closed on Mondays?”Beverley smiled and nodded. “That’s right. Thank you for your understanding.”Mr. Davis chuckled. “Don’t be shy. In that case, today’s meeting is over. Would you like to have lunch here too?”The question and invitation made Beverley hesitate a little. She hadn’t eaten since earlier, and her stomach was thrashing. However, she was worried that
