Yvonne did not expect him to kiss her just because he wanted to. She slapped him across the face without hesitation. Not even in Zachary’s wildest dreams would he have expected Yvonne, who was usually so meek and quiet, to take any action against him. He did not have time to avoid and was slapped squarely on the cheek. He had never been slapped ever in his life. He immediately let go of Yvonne and threatened in a fierce tone, “Do you not want your job anymore?” Yvonne knew that as the beloved third son of the Quimby family, Zachary had never been slapped by a woman in his life. This would mean she had just dug herself a grave for slapping him across the face. There was no way Zachary was going to forgive her. She decided to go all-in now that the worst had happened. “Hey, Quimby, I’ve been sick of you for a long time! I’m fine not having my job anymore. There will always be some other place that will take me in. I quit!’ Just as she finished saying that, she unzipped her bag a

After Yvonne had packed her things and returned to the hospital, she took out the information documents that Sandra had given her and began reading through them carefully. The show premise seemed like a mashup between well-known dating shows “Taken Out” and “The Bachelor”. Twenty-five women of various backgrounds and occupations would be standing on the stage, their faces disguised behind masks. They would first describe and talk about their hobbies, personalities, beliefs, and views on love and marriage before the male guest would make his first call to the women. If the female guest was interested in the man, she would have the opportunity to ask him three questions. If she was satisfied with his answers, she could take off her mask and proceed to the next stage. Conversely, she would not have to take off her disguise if she were not satisfied. Yvonne finally understood why Sandra had said that this was easy money. She was just there for the show and would not have to take her

As night approached, a sleek, black-colored sedan pulled up and parked near the block where Yvonne and Wesley lived. Everything was dark, and only the dimly lit cigarette spared some light on the man’s gloomy face. The expensive watch on his wrist showed that it was nearing three in the morning, but the woman was still nowhere to be found. There was a mocking smile on Jackson’s face. He had been waiting for nearly five hours.He knew the woman would be spending the night with Zachary. When he saw how intimate they were that day, he could not stop himself from wanting to come over and take a look. He had hoped in his heart that it was not true, but the reality proved that it was merely his imagination.After throwing his cigarette away, he started the car and drove off. Soon enough, the car had vanished into the night. When he returned, his mother, Jade, was still awake and was waiting for him in the living room. When she saw that Jackson had got back, she complained, “Jackson,

Thanks to Zachary’s help, her uncle found a kidney donor and had a successful surgery. Yvonne breathed with relief. She spent a few days by her uncle’s side in the hospital. Once her uncle was recovering, she kept her promise and returned to work at Zachary’s office. When Zachary saw Yvonne at work in her old-fashioned outfit, he looked at her from top to toe and said, “Yvonne, you are not doing yourself justice with those clothes! Such a waste! In the future, don’t dress in those old-fashioned clothes anymore. I will be in a better mood at work if you dress up better.” Just like before, Yvonne ignored his remarks. She proceeded to make Zachary his cup of tea before she began looking through his work schedule. Zachary narrowed his eyes as he sipped on his tea. Letting a long sigh, he said, “You make the best tea, Yvonne. Although it is just a few days of not seeing you, it feels like forever. I could barely work during those few days because I couldn’t see you.” In the past,

After they finished their meal and returned to the office, Zachary asked Yvonne, “Have you picked out a present for Jackson Miller as I asked you to?” “No!” “How about this? You don’t have to pick out the present anymore. I already got someone else to get it. I want you to deliver it to him!” “You want me to deliver it to him?” Yvonne was shocked. “Yes, you’ll deliver it as I told you to!” Zachary sounded sure of himself, and Yvonne felt that she had been making a big fuss out of nothing. Why would she not obey Zachary’s orders when she was his assistant? Jackson had become a stranger to her for a long time now. All she had to do was pretend she was delivering a gift to a client, no big deal.When Felix delivered the present he bought to Yvonne, she immediately set out to Jackson’s company. The receptionist denied Yvonne access to Jackson’s office, stating that she needed to make an appointment before she could meet with the president. However, when Yvonne said she was del
