"Sorry, Mr. Blake. We agreed that I wouldn't work overtime.""Overtime? You dare to call this a rare opportunity 'overtime'? Don't be ridiculous! Take your camera and bring back the photos and the interview for me intact!"Ignoring my feelings, he pushed me out of the office.Before I left, he reminded me, "Be careful when changing clothes! Don't remove the tags from the collar! I need to return them tomorrow!""Oh...""Now go!"I had no choice but to call Eric."A ball? You left the President and Chris just to attend a ball?"I could practically see Eric's smug face through the phone!Annoyed, I retorted, "I'm going for an interview! It just happens to be at the same venue as the ball!""Apologies, even if it's to interview God, it's not allowed. I will ask the President for you, but he's in a meeting, and I don't know when it will end. If the President agrees, I'll let you know. In any case, be back at the rooftop at 5 p.m."After hanging up, I spent the entire afternoon looking at
"I..."I stood there, feeling awkward. Mary's answer completely caught me off guard.Mary slammed the camera into my arms and pointed towards the exit, teeth gritted, "Get out! Right now!""Mary!"Ben stood up to stop her, "Lily is here for an exclusive interview. My father wants the newspaper to promote my success in being elected as a congressman to enhance my reputation. You wouldn't mind if I use this opportunity to do the interview, right?""Ben?" Mary turned around, puzzled. "Are you defending her? But she betrayed you before! She even got pregnant with another man's child!"Ben didn't reply.Mary sneered, "Let's see how Lisa handles this."With a proud look on her face, she walked back into the ballroom.Lisa was at the center of the party, chatting and laughing with another man.I didn't want to start a conflict with Lisa in this setting, so I nodded to Ben, "Thank you. I'll leave now.""Wait!"Ben suddenly grabbed my wrist, then quickly withdrew his hand, a bit embarrassed. "
I understood that Antoninus was expressing dissatisfaction about my biting him earlier. However, what matters most now is not his mockery, but how to handle the aftermath."You made Eric announce in front of so many people... that I am your companion. It will surely spread tomorrow." After all, this evening party had more than just our Nightingale family of reporters; Haar wished to have his name plastered on every newspaper in the city.Antoninus, however, showed no concern, "You don't need to worry about that.""But I need to know!" This is not only about him; it concerns me too! I do want to make it to the headlines, but I desire to have my pen name on it, not being treated as news!Being in the spotlight is an honor, but it's also risky, especially since I haven't decided whether I'll take Chris and escape from the presidential mansion in the future. I don't want to be recognized overseas and face the risk of exposure every day.Though Antoninus couldn't fathom my persistence, see
Damn Blake!!!First, I interviewed my ex-boyfriend, and now I have to interview my "potential" rival!Haha, what a brilliant arrangement!In my mind, I cursed Blake a thousand times and returned to the mansion with a belly full of resentment.But wait, Antonius seems to be missing from the mansion?That's very strange.In my impression, our dear President is like a well-oiled machine, with a schedule that is mind-bogglingly regular!At this time of the day, he should be sitting in his office reviewing his documents. Why can't I find a trace of him anywhere?Could something have happened to him...I remember the month he suddenly disappeared before. Dr. Wilson said he was shot.I couldn't help but worry.But I searched all the places Antonius usually goes, even the kitchen, and still couldn't find him.However, there were sudden barks and neighs coming from the stables.Could someone have broken in?!Cautiously, I hid a dining knife up my sleeve and quietly went to the stables to inves
When Lucius finished speaking, I felt my entire body go cold. Antoninus, breaking his composure, took a protective stance in front of me. Lucius, witnessing this scene, widened his eyes in astonishment. "You care about this?" he said. "Your woman? You care about her?""This is great. I swear to God, I'll show you her laughing and screaming like a bitch when my big dick is inside her!"As soon as his words fell, Antoninus suddenly grabbed his collar. I was afraid that they would start fighting, especially since Lucius, the madman, still had the blood-stained knife in his hand. Fortunately, Antoninus restrained himself and replied coldly but firmly, "Lucius, stop dreaming! You won't take anything away.""Is that so? Let's wait and see," Lucius said. His gaze shifted from Antoninus to my face, and he made a kissing gesture towards me. "Wait for me! I will come back for you, my love."I breathed a sigh of relief only when he was out of sight. But the stabbing pain in my abdomen returned.
Antoninus seemed to be in a bad mood today, his icy face appearing even darker than usual. When I saw him, I quickly hung up the phone and nervously greeted him, "Mr. President?" "Why are you running around when you're injured?" "I wasn't running around, I was just making a phone call on the balcony..." "The balcony is windy, not conducive to wound healing."I was about to say that it was just a minor scratch and that the wound no longer hurt. But Antoninus took off his own coat and threw it at me. I hurriedly caught it, asking, "What's this for?" "Put it on." "Alright." Compliantly, I draped his coat over my shoulders.So this was what a custom-made clothing worth tens of thousands of dollars felt like~ It didn't feel as comfortable as my inexpensive clothes. I stole a glance at him and accidentally touched the wound on his stomach.I couldn't help but let out a muffled groan and bent over in pain. Antonin
I feel like I might be really drunk, which is why I'm asking such a strange question. But I thought Antoninus would hesitate at least for a moment. However, he stares at the flames and slowly opens his mouth, "Perhaps." He's such a jerk! I'm a little angry and want to stand up, but he holds my hand and explains, "I just think that you would be better off with him than with me." "Fine! Then I'll go find him right now!" I angrily try to get up, but my dizzy brain loses its sense of balance, and I fall back down twice after attempting to climb up. Alcohol really isn't a good thing. I angrily toss the cup aside. Antoninus actually laughs again. He reaches out his arm to support me, but I push him away irritably, and my eyes involuntarily turn red. So Antoninus's smiling face, which took so much effort to appear, disappears again. He purses his lips, and his eyes flicker with golden flames, "I'm sorry." I s
I guessed right, Antoninus was shocked by my initiative to bite him.He touched his lips and remained silent for a while. But it didn't last long, and he quickly regained his usual icy expression."Tomorrow, the steward will take you to the hospital to remove the scars. You can also get rid of the scars on other parts of your body, except for the one on your ear, of course."I didn't understand why Antoninus was so fixated on the scars on my body.But there was a rebellious voice in my mind, saying that I should keep all the scars and only get rid of the one on my ear.Of course, it was just a thought in my mind.I didn't want him to bite my other ear.Antoninus seemed satisfied with my compliance, so he turned around and took out an exquisite gift box from under his desk.I received it in a daze and asked, "What is this?""Open it and see."I opened the box and saw a silver handgun lying quietly inside.The gun wa
