Yvonne savagely brought her foot down on Xavier's, making him double over immediately, yelling in pain as his hand instinctively released the elevator door. Under his infuriated glare, Yvonne merrily pressed the button to close the doors. "Since you know that I belong to Stephen, you should also know that I'm not someone you should mess with.""You!" Xavier leaned against the wall and tested the mobility of his big toe. Thankfully, she hadn't broken it. This woman was a savage! There wasn't anyone in Northerna City who would dare try to hurt him. Xavier gripped the bag tighter. He wanted to step forward but was disgruntled. Instead, he decided to pass the bag to Yvonne's assistant to pass it along to her.After 30 minutes, the assistant entered Yvonne's office with the bag. Yvonne immediately recognized it and frowned. "Give it back to him.""But Mr. Robinson said that it was merely a gesture of goodwill and that you had to accept it, Miss." The assistant placed the bag on the table aw

Noticing where her focus was, he pulled the lapels of his robe tighter around him and frowned. "Is there something you need?""Yes." Yvonne shot her eyes toward his face and smiled sweetly. "My best friend wants to meet you. Do you have time?""She wants to meet me?""Mm-hmm. She overheard our call last time, so I had no choice but to lie and say that you're my boyfriend." Yvonne was nervous. Would someone like Stephen agree to act along? "If you find it troublesome, I can always talk to her—""I'll meet her." Stephen surprisingly agreed.Yvonne was stunned. "Huh?""Where did you two decide to meet up? Send me the location and time." Unless something unexpected were to happen, their current relationship would probably last for quite some time. Meeting her friends was unavoidable then, so he didn't bother turning her down. "Anything else?" asked Stephen. "N–no." Seeing how cooperative the man was, Yvonne instantly felt like all her worries had been for nothing. "Well, goodnight. I'll l

"Didn't you just say he'd already arrived?"Rachel was still confused when Yvonne pulled her back. "I want to pee. Where's the bathroom?"After five minutes in the bathroom, the two ladies returned to the lounge, which was now silent, the air seeming colder than before. The crowd had separated into two groups on the couch.Stephen sat by himself on one side, isolated from the others by an imperceptible wall. Yvonne was starting to get tired of this. It was difficult enough to have to avoid him, but now James had even brought him over.Rachel had never met Stephen before, but she was instantly drawn to his looks. She'd been working in the entertainment industry for years and had met countless Greek gods, but never had she seen anyone this handsome! "Hey, handsome. Did you walk into the wrong room?" Rachel greeted him flirtily. Yvonne's heart skipped a beat nervously, screaming internally. "Don't fuck anyone just because they're handsome!"Under the dim lighting, Stephen made out Yvonne

Stephen and Yvonne didn't stay for long, but everyone in the room was still stupefied after they left.James and Stanley walked the couple to the door and watched the Panamera drive out of sight. Stanley stared in disbelief as the car drove away. Even though Tabitha had told him that Stephen was recovering rapidly, he'd never expected his friend to fall in love!"Do you know Ms. Miller?" Stanley asked."This is my first time meeting her," James replied dejectedly. "My girlfriend offended her. Oh, never mind. She's my ex now."Stanley came back to his senses and asked James, puzzled, "When did the two of you break up?" Hadn't they been hugging and singing moments ago?"I wouldn't dare keep in touch with her after she offended Stephen. That's suicidal. Besides, there are plenty of other women!" Stanley was used to hearing things like this from the philanderer and gave his friend a withering look. James threw one arm over Stanley's shoulders. "This is Stephen's second relationship, right?

"This has nothing to do with money." Elliot turned Yvonne down.Judging from his firm attitude, Yvonne knew her trip had been in vain. Even though she'd insisted on knowing the reason why he refused to work with her at first, she wasn't interested anymore. Honestly, it wasn't a surprise to see others adding insult to injury in this kind of situation. After all, businessmen only cared about profits, which seemed bleak when it came to Miller Jewels.Elliot felt sorry for Yvonne, who remained silent, but couldn't bring himself to console her. Anything he said now would be pretentious. Besides, accepting rejection was the first lesson Yvonne needed to learn when it came to running a business. Elliot sighed. "Ms. Miller, I'll go back to work if that's all."After the man left, Yvonne remained seated for some time, processing what was happening. Suddenly, she felt like she'd gone back in time to when she'd just started exploring business. It had been a great struggle back then.While she'd t
