Obsessed With You

Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, but she was bolder than usual. She stood on her tiptoes, her arms wrapping around the man's shoulders like vines, and whispered in his ear, "Waiting for someone?"She had assumed that men who used dating apps to find hookups would mostly be plump, with lecherous looks. But the one before her had a handsome face, and his pair of flirtatious yet dangerous eyes were captivating.The man seemed a bit stunned, turning off his phone screen, about to say something, when he was enveloped by a faint, cold rose fragrance. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and a low, raspy, magnetic voice escaped: "Miss, you...""Changed your mind?" Doreen Pulitzer took a half step back, hands in her pockets, chin slightly raised, her clear, seductive eyes looking at him with a hint of provocation.Ferguson Kennedy narrowed his eyes, and in the next second, the straight line of his lips curved into an attractive smile. "Where to? I'll take you.""To a hotel, toget

After leaving the restaurant, it didn't take more than half an hour for the streets to be covered in a blanket of white snow.Doreen Pulitzer escorted them to school.Just before they entered the school gates, Doreen Pulitzer called out to Chen Munan."Don't think about solving everything with violence. Remember, your future is in your own hands. No matter what others say, you are the one who decides how to walk your path. You're about to turn eighteen; learn to take responsibility for yourself and those who care about you. Understand?"Chen Munan was taken aback, looking into Doreen Pulitzer's calm eyes, and nodded, half-understanding."Also, Mom is traveling out of town, and her phone is broken, so she can't be reached. Don't worry; I'll get in touch with her as soon as possible."Finally, she asked, "Is that Jeff Boswell in your class?""No," Chen Munan replied. "He's in Class One, and I'm in Class Twenty-Seven."As Doreen Pulitzer had expected, Geya Middle School was the to

"You've been with the company for almost two years, right?""Mm."The locker room always had several sets of work uniforms on hand. Doreen Pulitzer had already changed out of her wet clothes and dried her hair, though she hadn't had time to put on makeup.Her porcelain-white cheeks were flushed with an unnatural rosy hue due to the cold, giving her a somewhat sickly beauty.General Manager Li scanned her up and down discreetly before leaning back in his chair."I won't hold today's incident against you, but there's one thing you should know: the residents of Linquan are at the top of H City's social pyramid. Working here is your good fortune. Sometimes, it's better not to be too stubborn; it can lead to breaking. There's no point in turning a golden opportunity into a disaster. Don't you agree?"Doreen Pulitzer met his gaze and nodded slightly."I understand, General Manager Li."Back in the locker room, Mingyue, smug and disdainful, bumped into her.With a loud "bang," Doreen

The short man and the gold-toothed man were both taken aback.Short man: "Who the hell kidnapped Shirley Graham? Are you crazy?! Accusing us of something like that?!"The gold-toothed man, with a cigarette between his fingers, gestured to stop the short man. Doreen Pulitzer noticed a scar running across his palm, as if his hand had been cut in half by a sharp object and then stitched back together.A desperado."Miss Chen, you can take medicine recklessly, but you can't speak without thinking. We only want money, not lives. If we were really capable of kidnapping, we might as well go all out. You know, the organ trade overseas is quite profitable, plus your family's house, which is worth over two million. Why would we come here and suffer for such a risky and less lucrative option?"The gold-toothed man's words, though rough, made sense and confirmed that Shirley Graham was indeed not in their hands.Doreen Pulitzer fell silent for a moment, then pulled out a bank card from her p

Doreen Pulitzer passed by the lobby on the first floor, and the words of the receptionist made her breath catch."Big Sister Muxi? So early?"She turned around, but it wasn't the face from last night. It must have been a shift change.She curved her lips, "Yeah, there's something with one of the residents, so I came to check it out.""Oh, you're really dedicated, coming in so early, and it's even snowing."Her gaze suddenly fell on Doreen Pulitzer's clothes, her expression doubtful.Doreen Pulitzer immediately quickened her pace and left.Last night, Hilary Zacharias had waited for Doreen Pulitzer but didn't see her return, so she sent several messages. Doreen Pulitzer hadn't had time to check her phone until now.She explained that after dealing with the water pipe issue at 901 in Building 7 last night, she went to another resident's place, and by the time her shift ended, she went straight back to the apartment. She was so tired that she fell asleep right away, without checki
