"We'll see. I won't let you win," Jerome spat. Then, he stood up and left without saying anything else. He knew he couldn't win Jessamine over with just his charms. Since she had her heart broken before, she wouldn't believe in love so easily. He believed he needed to give her some time and slowly give her a sense of security. As long as he was diligent, he was sure he could win her heart.Thaddeus stood under the bright sun for a long time, the impending danger rendering him helpless. As someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had never felt this way.He had many admirers over the years. Countless women, including supermodels, celebrities, and wealthy heiresses, would try to charm him. However, other than Jessamine, no other woman had ever caught his interest.As Thaddeus watched Jerome leave, he suddenly realized he was a hopeless fool regarding relationships. He already felt extremely uncomfortable when Jerome declared they should fight for Jessamine fair and square
Thaddeus walked around the car, happy with its appearance. Then, he unlocked his phone and took a photo. He posted a tweet of it with the caption, "The car she loves."Jordan handed Thaddeus the keys, wondering when his boss' aesthetic sense had changed.Thaddeus looked at Jordan and said, "Get in the car."Jordan was confused for a moment. Did Thaddeus want to drive the car himself? Throughout his years as Thaddeus' assistant, he had always been the driver, so he had never been Thaddeus' passenger.Jordan feebly opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.Thaddeus was in a good mood and showed off his driving skills. He found the car a joy to use and was satisfied with every part of it, except that it could be too fast.Jordan held the armrest tightly, his heart almost leaping out of his throat. Sure enough, not everyone could handle Thaddeus' driving. He felt his stomach churning as he watched Thaddeus skillfully turn the steering wheel and overtake the other cars on the r
Milton simply remained silent with a smile on his face. He understood the situation very well. With Thaddeus' unruly personality, he wasn't surprised if he had offended someone powerful.He asked his butler to bring a notebook and pushed it in front of Thaddeus. "Pick whichever one you like. Let me know if something catches your eye. Don't be shy."Thaddeus wasn't one to be bashful. He picked up the book and looked through the available properties. Soon, he found a house that wasn't too far from Jaricles Design Studio.According to the information, it was a 2400-square-foot apartment with a view of the river. It was also located on a floor that he liked."Mr. Winchester, I want to buy this one," he said. Milton took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "You have a keen eye, Ted. I just bought that one the year before last year. Everything there is still brand new. "That apartment also has the floor-to-ceiling window and river view you youngsters love. Go ahead and live the
Thaddeus had already put up the light blue curtains. In contrast to the previous style of his home, which consisted of only black, white, and gray, he decorated this apartment according to Jessamine's preferences.Jordan glanced around the room. After moving everything in, he helped Thaddeus unpack the packages.Thaddeus no longer looked like the cold CEO he used to be. He was now acting like a good family man. He put away the things from the packages bit by bit. As he looked around the house, he always had a feeling that something was missing. He was far less meticulous than Jessamine in these things. "Jordan, do you think I need to buy anything else?" he asked. Jordan finished unpacking the last parcel, which contained a set of couple's toiletries, towels, and cups. He handed them to Thaddeus and said, "Mr. Holt, based on my many years of experience living with my fiancée, I believe you still don't have enough clothes for Mrs. Holt."Jordan remembered something his fiancée o
After a few days, Jessamine composed herself, put on her makeup, and drove to Jaricles Design Studio. As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted with tons of curious gazes. Jessamine wondered what was wrong and why they were looking at her like this. She looked down at her clothes. She wasn't wearing anything inappropriate.When she entered the office, the first thing she noticed was the flowers that filled the room, which could put a flower shop to shame.Judith followed into the office. "Jacinda, things here have been more lively than usual while you were gone. Mr. Langston has people sending flowers every day. "Mr. Holt from Holt Jewelry also comes here in person with flowers, but he leaves when he doesn't see you after waiting for a while.""Mr. Holt has been coming here every day?""Yeah." Judith nodded with a mischievous expression on her face.Jessamine had already expected Thaddeus to pay her a visit, but she never thought that he would drop by every single day.
Jessamine was amused. "This company is now in its start-up stages, and it's also the most difficult time when establishing a brand, so I want you all to think this through. "We're still a long way to go from discussing shares, but as this company develops, all of you will undoubtedly be long-standing employees. So, you'll definitely have a fair amount of shares."After saying that, the designers began to whisper amongst themselves again. Then, one of them said, "Jacinda, I'll keep working with you and build Kama Jewelry from the ground up.""Me too, Jacinda.""Jacinda, I'm not leaving either. I'll stay."…In the end, everyone expressed their desire to stay with Jessamine throughout the company's transition.Their actions moved her. She had recruited everyone there herself. She would be lying if she said she didn't feel a bond with her employees."Then, it's decided. Our company has already been registered. Since our transition is still in its early days, our office will still
Thaddeus returned with some water and closed Jessamine's door as per her request. He then placed the cup on the table, making a slight sound as he did so.However, Jessamine seemed to be engrossed in her work. She continued sketching designs and acted as if he didn't exist.She looked composed on the surface, but in fact, she was flustered. She didn't even know what she was drawing on the paper.Thaddeus pulled up a chair and sat across from her. When he saw that she hadn't stopped working, he pushed the cup forward. "The water's going to get cold. Why don't you drink it before continuing?"Jessamine finally couldn't maintain her calm facade anymore. "Mr. Holt, do not come here anymore. You already have a wife, so it isn't appropriate for you to show up at my door. "The rumors are going to be bad if news of this spreads. Someone of your status shouldn't be serving me drinks."Thaddeus was silent. It was fine as long as she was willing to talk to him. He feared that she would jus
Jerome walked to the window and called his assistant. Jessamine then collected her sketch papers and locked them in the drawer, preparing to leave. Throughout their conversation, they completely ignored Thaddeus, acting as if he didn't exist at all.Just a minute ago, she told Thaddeus that she couldn't have lunch with him because she hadn't finished her work. But now, she and Jerome were about to have lunch together.Thaddeus felt upset upon seeing her blatant favoritism. He felt that the more persistent he was, the more he would drive her away from him.After Jessamine packed up, she took out an umbrella. "Let's walk over there. I want to get some fresh air," she said to Jerome, who had finished calling his assistant.Jerome put away his phone and opened the door, saying with a smile, "Sure."As the two of them were about to leave, Thaddeus felt like an abandoned puppy. Just as he was feeling depressed, Jessamine turned at the door. "Mr. Holt, please take the flowers away.
