Chapter 129

作者: Summer Blossom
"Shut up! Not you, too!" Edward exploded. "Are you deliberately rubbing salt into my wounds? Do you want me to have you pack up and leave?" With that, he furiously ended the call.

On the other end of the line, Nathan stared at his phone, his expression blank. His boss had finally realized what he'd taken for granted now that he had lost his wife. But it was too late to do anything about it.

…

Later that night, even though he knew that he wouldn't be able to see Macie that day, Edward still waited until 10:00 pm outside the office building before reluctantly heading home. Not long after his car pulled away, a figure stepped out from the building's main entrance and made her way toward the subway entrance.

Macie looked at her phone. Tomorrow was the last workday before the weekend. With two days off ahead, she was relieved she wouldn't have to worry about bumping into Edward. Nevertheless, she couldn't avoid him forever. She just hoped he'd stop acting crazy and give up soon.

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 993

    Sean turned around to take a look at Alice. "I set everything up for you today, and you still blew it. We can't use that trick again. You fell asleep right in front of Elias. How is he supposed to believe that you're hardworking and ambitious now? If you managed to answer me fluently after that, anyone with half a brain would grow suspicious!" Alice was tongue-tied. She let out a sigh and heard him continue, "Perhaps this is for the best. Even if you managed to fool him for a while and act like a strong, career-driven woman, you'd still slip up eventually. "If you two end up together, are you going to pretend to be someone you're not for the rest of your life? How are you going to keep up the act when there's no one around to cover for you?"Alice was silent for a while before asking quietly, "In that case, do you have a Plan B? Can we just skip this part and jump straight to showing him my strengths?"Sean caressed his chin. "You danced the opening dance with him at your birthda

    Time ticked by, and both parties had already gone through most of the details. There were only a few points left to wrap up.This was the perfect opportunity Sean had planned for Alice. He had deliberately asked a question of his own subordinate. His subordinates had been briefed ahead of time, so no one answered. They waited for Alice to speak up. Yet, a few seconds passed, and she didn't make a single sound. None of them dared to turn their heads, so they tried sneaking a look out of the corner of their eyes. The moment they did, they all fell silent. Alice was slumped over the table, sound asleep.Sean was perplexed when he didn't hear her response. Because he was sitting in the front, his view was obstructed, so he leaned forward slightly. This morning, Alice had vowed to impress Elias and make him see her in a new light. Yet, she was fast asleep like a dead log at that moment. Sean was speechless at that sight. He couldn't wake her up just to get her to answer his questi

    After mapping out a new plan with Sean at lunch, Alice told Macie everything."So, I won't be able to visit you during the day anymore. If Elias keeps running into me in both places, he'll grow suspicious," Alice explained.Macie smiled. "That's fine. My injuries are almost healed. The doctor said I can start walking next week so my muscles don't weaken from lying in bed all day. "Go do what you need to do. I hope it works out!""I'll give it a go. If it doesn't work, I'll change the plan. I'll still drop by after work to keep you company for a bit!" Alice said. …A meeting was scheduled for 1:00 pm the next day. Sean had already informed Alice, so she could prepare in advance.Alice felt confident. The document was ridiculously long and boring, so she didn't bother reading it. However, Nico had already filled her in on the important parts. All she had to do now was wait for the key moments Sean had planned for her so she could speak up and draw Elias' attention. Right on th

    "I'm not asking you to negotiate with Elias. All you have to do is follow me when I talk to him," Sean said.Alice nodded, ready to give it a try."Create more chances to interact with him. Find more things to talk about. Didn't you say you can't hold a conversation with him? That's because you two have nothing to talk about," he continued. "To be fair, it is hard to find something to talk to him about. So, start from the basics."She listened intently and pondered it. No one understood men better than another man. Sean laid out a comprehensive plan for her, from business conversations to personal charm. By the time he finished, she gave him a big thumbs-up. Just then, a message popped up on Sean's phone. It was from Elias. Sean took a look at it before sliding his phone across the table. "No wonder he sent me that message. Turns out, it was because of you," he said, biting back his laughter. "For a moment, I thought something was wrong with our company."Looking at the chat

    Mitch watched as Elias extended his hand, yet instead of a pastry, he handed him an empty wrapper.Mitch was dumbfounded, wondering where the pastry was. He looked up and noticed Elias' lips were close and his cheeks were moving. He was clearly chewing something.Mitch froze. Elias actually ate it this time. This was a first for a man who supposedly didn't care for sweets. While Mitch was still lost in thought, Elias walked toward his temporary office, munching on an apple turnover. It was crisp, light, and fragrant. He genuinely thought that it was good.After living abroad for two decades, it had been a long time since he'd tasted something so authentic. The desserts overseas had always been too sweet for him, and he never became accustomed to them. Elias settled at his desk, took a sip of his coffee, and started working. He abruptly paused when he remembered how strangely Alice had been acting these last few days. Even though she had said that everything was fine with her f

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 988

    Macie: "Elias is a workaholic with zero interest in women. Are you sure you want to pursue him? I'd hate to see you invest your feelings and end up getting hurt."Alice read Macie's reply and fell into deep thought, her lips pressing together. Elias wasn't interested in women? Was he born with a low libido, or was there something wrong with him?The moment that thought surfaced, her mind instantly drifted back to that night in the hotel. His hot breath, the heat of his palms, and the way he pinned her down and left her no room to fight back…Her cheeks heated up in an instant. At the time, she could tell that Elias definitely wasn't impotent. If anything, he was prolific.With that, Alice thought that she should just go for it. Since Elias is physically fine, she figured that the rest can be worked out. Alice told Macie about her decision, and Macie responded that she would fully support her. Alice asked her for help devising a strategy to pursue him, yet when the two of them put
