Summer wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye and sobbed. “Can you at least tell us why? Even if you don’t want to be together, you can still keep working at the company. It’s fine… You’re like a daughter to me.” At this point, something hit her. “Are you angry at me? I’m aware of the issue between Lynn and Jackson. I let Lynn into the house to provoke Jackson into bringing you back to the house to visit me and the sad old man. I was only acting; I’ve already sent Lynn away…”Tiffany shook her head. “That’s not it… It has nothing to do with you.”Summer’s eyes brimmed with tears. “Then why? I couldn’t seem to call you, and I was completely stupefied when I saw your message. I went to see Jackson, but he’s been holed up in that villa in White Water Bay, like you, as if he’s lost his soul. I talked to him for nearly half the day, yet he still refused to answer me! I’m not leaving until you’ve given me your reason!”Tiffany took a deep breath. “I was raped. This happened before Jack

Tiffany eyed him suspiciously. “‘Same as ever’? I don’t think we’ve met before. Don’t act like you know me so well. Not even my own mother knows me that well…”Alejandro didn’t answer and simply stared quietly at her.They locked eyes. Tiffany’s heart skipped a beat. Why did those eyes look so familiar to her? She couldn’t quite describe this feeling. It was as if… they had known each other for a long time. She instinctively lifted her hand to take off his mask, but he turned away with a straight face. “My face hasn’t completely healed, so I’m afraid that I might scare you. I’ll let you look at me as much as you want when I come back to the country.”Tiffany lowered her head, realizing that she had forgotten her manners. “I’m sorry… The last time you treated me to a meal, you only watched me eat. Would it be the same this time as well? You’ve really interpreted the words “treating me to a meal” perfectly…”Alejandro refused to comment, tacitly agreeing to her statement.Tiffany wasn’t

A short while after Easter, Mark decided to travel overseas. It was a somewhat surprising departure from his typical habit; every overseas business was always handed down to his inferiors if he could help it. This time, however, he was left no choice, so he expected to be separated from his wife for about half a month.The day of his flight began with him reciting a long, drawn-out list of instructions to Mary and Henry, encompassing diverse domains including Arianne’s daily life schedule and dietary plans to her sleeping and workout hours. One would begin to wonder if an apocalyptic event was going to befall him after he left, especially after one looked at the palpable trepidation all over his face. Had Henry not reminded him that the plane was going to take off soon, the man’s incessant nagging might never stop.Arianne sent him off by the gate, where the poor man could not stroll toward the car without looking back every three steps or so.“Okay, there’s enough; just stay there. Ye

Eric, too, thought it would be a waste not to drink. “Oh, yeah? Then pour me a full one, and I’ll stop when I’m near death!”The corner of Jackson’s lips curled. Despite being surrounded by women doing their best, his eyes reflected a sober mind. “Hey, no dying, please. Don’t make me lug your corpse around.”Eric drank in one finish and placed it down with a look of one not yet satisfied. “I haven’t had alcohol for so long; Lord knows how good it feels! Don’t fret, Jackson, I won’t fall dead. I ate something on my way here, so it’s gotta help mitigate some of this beer. What’s more interesting is you, though! Suddenly struck by the mood to go out and play, are we? And here I thought you were content to be a good boy who doesn’t swing around now.”Jackson said nothing, but the smile on his lips faded.A voluptuous woman with a face that might have undergone a fair bit too much plastic surgery suddenly rose with her phone in hand. “Mr. West, I’ve brought one of my friends for the night!

“The only thing that will ever be appropriate between us is to go out and have fun. There’s no need to come to my office or anything like that from now on. There are too many people around, and there will certainly be gossip, which will affect me, understand? You’re my lover, not my girlfriend. You’re certainly not going to be my wife. That’s not your place.”Sasha was stunned. She simply thought he was different from what Desdemona and everyone else had described him to be. He did not touch her last night, but he gave her money all the same. She thought he was a pretty good guy, that was why she wanted to get to know him. Perhaps, they could start a relationship. She did not expect him to figuratively pour a bucket of cold water on her, revealing the harsh reality. Their relationship had always been a ‘secret’. “I understand. I’ll leave right now… Will you call me?”Jackson did not reply.Sasha was too afraid of lingering. She left very quickly.Aye stopped her when she was at the ele
