Semua Bab Love in the dark: Bab 361 - Bab 370

Shawn fell silent for a while before snickering out of nowhere. “I was an asshole, but I can’t beat the time you forced her to get an abortion.” Sparks were flying. Laurence stood before Shawn against the light. His facial expression was visible in the dim light, only revealing his aloofness through his tensed facial lines. His eyes glistened with murderous intent like those of a beast ready to pounce. He pressed his lips tightly together. The remark got Laurence where it hurt, and the pain confused him. It hurt no less than a knife in his heart. Still, he held it together, apart from a slight discoloration on his skin. He said, “She and I will have children.” Laurence added with a blank face, “We can have as many children as we want. Thanks for asking.” Shawn kept to himself. Laurence glanced at Shawn before turning to the woman behind him, who seemed fine. “I’m a busy man. I should get going if this circus is over.” He advanced to the door and stopped before look

After they finished, Laurence carried her into the bathroom for a shower. Then, she dried her hair while lying by the bedside and fell asleep in a blur. By the time she woke up, the sky had already turned dark. She blinked tiredly and cleared her blurry vision. Laurence was sitting at the desk in his pajamas, and his face was lit up by the computer screen, his skin looking smooth and fair. He seemed to be looking at her unfinished drafts as she slowly pushed herself up on her elbows. She felt sore from head to toe, but it wasn't unbearable.Laurence seemed to have heard her getting up and turned around to look at her. "Go downstairs for dinner if you're up." She stared at him in a daze before slowly gathering her senses. She asked him in a voice husky from sleep, "Are you using my laptop?" He nodded without giving her any further explanation. The mess they had made in the bedroom from lovemaking had already been tidied up. The floor-to-ceiling windows were open, and she couldn't s

Laurence was a person who never mixed his personal life with his professional life, so it was definitely unlike him to hand the resort hotel project to her so casually. Zoey thought for a moment and said, "I'll fight for it." She would make a draft and compete fairly with the other studios, so she wouldn't owe him anything or waste such a good opportunity. Laurence could already sense what she meant and raised his brows, but he said nothing more. The resort hotel project was indeed a very huge opportunity for a new studio like Zoey's. If she managed to secure it, she would be spending more than half a year on it. Of course, Laurence's company would also reap the benefits. He loosened his tie and said, while pouring himself a glass of water, "I saw you at Porters the other day." He looked quite dashing in his simple white shirt.Zoey had been meeting clients everywhere in the past few days, and she had indeed been to Porters once. The director at Porters probably looked down on an

Diana's friends were all arrogant and self-righteous. They were easily swayed by rumors, which made them biased against people, and envy made them mock and look down on others."By the way, Diana. Is Sarah's family really in trouble?""I don't know. I wouldn't ask her.""She wouldn't have to worry even if there's trouble. The Jenners' construction company already earned a lot just by leeching off Scott Group.""I wish I could be the one that got away for some dude. I wouldn't have to worry about anything if I had a strong backer like that.""Diana, you're so smart to be close friends with Sarah for so many years. You could just ask her for help whenever you face any difficulties."Diana wasn't close to Sarah just because she wanted something from her—she really treated Sarah like her own sister. She'd explained it to her friends, but they just wouldn't believe her. She sighed and remembered that she had something to do. She left the cafe in a hurry and took a taxi to the Jenners'

"Everything is difficult when you've just taken your first steps. If you don't plan on using other people for favors, then forget I ever mentioned it," said Laurence. Zoey wasn't that much of a saint. She contemplated it and said, "I'm a nobody." It wasn't as if she could gain anything just by making connections. Most people were like the director at Porters, who wanted money in exchange because they had some power and were very street smart. "I'm here, aren't I?" said Laurence. He seemed to have guessed her thoughts when she said nothing, but he didn't show that he felt slightly upset. He said, while Zoey fell into a daze, "I know you don't want to borrow my influence or show them that we know each other. Sometimes, I find you quite smart but very foolish at the same time. There is absolutely no need for you to abstain from using other people, including me. Some people are for using, and I don't mind being used right now."Zoey stayed silent for a long time after hearing what he
