“I will agree to any condition you have.” No matter what terms he had, he had to deal with this problem first.“I will tell you tomorrow. But you have to go to a place with me first today!” He was cold and emotionless.“No, the shareholders and funders are still waiting in the office.” I was not in the mood to go out with him at this time.“Keith, call Nectarine Entertainment and tell them that I will give everyone an explanation tomorrow.” He instructed Keith before walking out.“What are you waiting for?” He asked when he saw that I still had not moved. His handsome eyebrows were a little slanted, and his voice sounded slightly cold.I was stunned for a moment before I ran after him. Since he would make an appearance to explain, I believed everyone would be relieved. I did not need to worry about the situation in the company anymore.He drove to the outskirts of the city. On the way, he had a gloomy face and did not say anything. I said, “This matter started because of me. Afte

“Does Mrs. Grant not know? Mr. Hendrick is very famous and has been developing his business in Whaldorf City. Countless rich and powerful ladies had tried to buy a bowl of his soup. I did not expect that I would be able to drink it today, thanks to President Grant. I did not live for nothing!”President John looked satisfied.Before long, the door was pushed open, and the waiter served all the dishes. Unlike the traditional type of banquet, which was mostly seafood and meat, the table was filled full of green food, but the arrangement was very particular. Similar to the garden, each dish looked exquisite in terms of form and color.At this moment, an elegant voice spoke from outside the door. “Theo, I have been brewing the soup you wanted for four hours. Let Mrs. Grant drink more.”A man walked in from outside. It was the man she had met in the backyard earlier. Behind him were the little girl and a young and beautiful lady. The lady should be his wife.“You are Mrs. Grant?” He lo

Feeling a little awkward, I told him, “Do not listen to her. There is...nothing else for you to do here. You should go back first.”He looked at me with a smile on his face. “You do not need to be embarrassed. It must be your first time here. I will listen to that lady's orders. I will only talk with you tonight.”I...“Miss, you look very elegant. What do you like to do normally?” He took the initiative to find a topic.“Sleeping.” I smiled.“Sleeping is good for your complexion. No wonder your skin is so good.” He did not mind at all and continued smiling.I could not stand the strange and boring atmosphere anymore. I got up and said, “I am going to the washroom.”After exiting the room, I heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to go downstairs. I did not expect to run into Cindy and Zedd walking towards me.I quickly turned around and pretended not to see them. However, Cindy had sharp eyes and shouted, “Wanda, are you following Theowy?”I could not hide even if I wanted to.

Back in the room, Zedd was openly gloating while Cindy was leaning against Theo.Theo coldly glanced at me before looking away. There was no emotion on his face.There were still nine glasses of wine left on the table.I felt awful inside. I closed my eyes and picked up another glass, wanting to get this over and done. I just wanted to get out of there.The wine was so strong that I choked. I could not stop my tears from flowing down my cheeks.Perhaps I got used to the wine. After a while, I did not feel nauseous after downing the second glass of wine. I only felt a slight pain in my stomach, and I had cold sweat on my forehead.Mason could tell that something was wrong with me. He held down the third glass of wine I had in my hand and shook his head gently.I stubbornly struggled to free my glass from his hand and put it to my mouth, ready to pour it down my throat.Suddenly, I felt my hand pressed down forcefully, and my body pulled into a familiar embrace.“I will drink th

I had no choice but to put some soup in my mouth. Before I could drink it, the fishy stench made my stomach churn. I quickly ran to the bathroom and threw up.“Why are you still throwing up?” He looked at me suspiciously.“It’s probably because I drank yesterday. Plus, I’m not used to the smell of mullets since I was young. So…” I explained with guilt in the tone of my voice.His body stiffened up, perhaps recalling last night’s incident.I thought about how this was the first time Theo had cooked for me, so I closed my eyes and forced myself to drink up the fish soup.“You do not have to drink it if you do not want to. I will make another one for you.” He reached out to take the soup bowl and pour the pot of soup into the sink.“I am sorry.” I felt guilty as I knew that he had meant well.“It is my fault. I did not know you did not like fish soup.” His face was placid. His voice was flat and apologetic.I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. After what happened yesterday
