Melanie's gaze bore into Alanna. She didn't believe a word of that. She didn't believe that Hades and Alanna were in a transactional relationship.Even if it used to be that way, it was impossible for them to still be in one.Hades was getting increasingly invested in Alanna, so much so that Melanie thought it exceeded his concern for her.Otherwise, Hades wouldn't have publicly announced that he was single. Also, he wouldn't have let Alanna off the hook after she splashed coffee over Melanie.Yet Alanna called that a transactional relationship? Bullshit!Besides, Melanie knew well what happened between them when they were young. Even if Hades thought of their relationship as a deal, Alanna most definitely harbored feelings for him!With a clenched jaw, Melanie hissed, "Do you think I'll believe whatever you say? Alanna, heed my advice, and don't ever dream that you'll be able to climb the social ladder this way!"Alanna laughed. "Ms. Smith, you two are getting engaged soon. Is

Michel felt somewhat awkward. Hades arrived soon after he asked Alanna that question. He felt like he was being caught in the act.However, Hades should have noticed that Michel was interested in Alanna ages ago. It was just that none of them brought it up.Now that Hades was getting engaged, Michel finally mustered the courage to ask Alanna out. However, judging from Hades' attitude, he might not let Alanna go even after he got engaged.Michel thought it was a pity, but all he could do was let out a resigned chuckle. He couldn't risk offending Hades."You're here, Hades? Then I'll take my leave." With that, he got up.Hades glanced at him and eventually turned to Alanna. "Mr. Luther is leaving. Don't you have anything to say, Ms. Jacinto?"Alanna pressed her lips together. After a while, she turned and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Luther."Michel nodded and looked at Hades. "See you, Hades."Hades said nothing, and Michel left sheepishly.Alanna looked up and met his gaze. "Mr. Luther

Hades' gaze was profound as he stared at Alanna. A smile remained on her smooth, pretty face.He once said he liked it when she smiled. However, her smile was now an eyesore to him.Sneering, he asked, "That eager to leave me?"Alanna merely stared at him without responding. However, her answer was obvious.Hades abruptly tightened his hold on her chin. "I told you, Alanna. Without my permission, don't you dare think about leaving. I hope you keep that in mind."After saying that, he let go of her and turned to leave. With a resigned chuckle, Alanna washed up and lay in bed.The next morning, Chelsey took a day off to keep Alanna company. She was worried that Alanna might be feeling down.Alanna thought she was doing fine, though. Still, she didn't refuse Chelsey's goodwill.They left early in the morning for the mall. While they shopped, Chelsey watched Alanna's expression closely.Alanna knew she was worried and smiled. She felt amused. "I'm fine. You don't have to keep watc

Alanna immediately paused when she heard Hades. But it only lasted a second before she continued walking out.Although she knew it was humiliating to leave now, she did not want to stay.Although it would look like she had no right to stay in that room if she left as soon as she came, she did not have the patience to deal with Hades and his friends. Terrence could not stand her. She could not stand him either. So, why should she torture herself by staying?As for Hades…Alanna laughed bitterly. Why would he ask her to stay when his first love was right by his side?She straightened up and walked toward the door with no hesitation. Hades' expression immediately darkened when he noticed Alanna was adamant about leaving.Yves noticed and quickly stopped Alanna. "Ms. Jacinto, you can't leave. You just got here."Alanna chuckled. "I'm sorry, Yves. I don't like it here."Yves frowned and glanced at Hades. He wanted Hades to ask Alanna to stay. But Hades only glared at Alanna. He

Hades was already putting on his tie when Alanna woke up the next day. He stood fully clothed by the bed and said, "You can take a day off if you're tired."He had kept her up the whole night. He had only allowed her to rest after it was way past midnight.Alanna shook her head and sat up. She still had a lot of things to do in the company.Hades raised an eyebrow. "Then do you want to go to the company with me?"Alanna rejected the offer. "It's alright. I'll take public transport."Hades ignored her refusal and waited for her by the door.Alanna glanced at him and did not say anything else. She paused for a moment while she was changing. Then, she took out a box from her drawer. Inside the box were rosary beads for protection. She had gotten it as a gift for Hades.But she suddenly remembered his tux when he had asked her about his gift last night. So, she did not want to give it to him.She didn't want to give him something and watch him trample all over her sincerity.It
