Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 761 - Bab 770

"Do I look like I want a fling with Rachel Shaw? This is Rachel Shaw we're talking about. I can't fool around with her," Jake replied with disappointment in his eyes."I'm glad you're aware." Winston set his glass on the table and picked up his coat.With a wry smile, Jake confessed, "Win, I finally came across a woman I can't win over."Winston stopped in his tracks before looking in the elevator's direction. He too shared Jake's sentiments.Jake caught up to Winston, asking, "Win, what do you think of me pursuing Rachel?"Winston replied, "Do it if you're truly into her."Jake tutted. He stole a few more glances at Winston. "Look at you! You sound like an ascetic monk!"Winston raised his gaze. He wasn't exactly ascetic; he wanted Millie but failed to win her heart."You regret not talking more to Millie in the past. Right?" Jake watched the numbers on the elevator panel jumping as Millie and Rachel took their elevator trip down."You probably think of the many times you wen

Rachel was the sole reason that Jake showed up. He didn't interrupt Rachel, who was having fun. Noticing Millie looking at him, he joined her at the booth seat.He called the waiter over and footed the bill for Millie's table. Then, he ordered some alcohol. She pouted. "We can afford it. Mr. Webson, you don't have to treat us.""It's what a gentleman would do." That was his answer.After a short silence, Millie took a sip of wine. Both of them looked at Rachel, who was having fun on the dance floor.Marvin had texted Millie for her instructions on dealing with Jeremy. She fell into a momentary daze; she nearly forgot about the problem that was Jeremy.Stealing a look at Jake, she felt glad he was here. She suddenly rose. "I need to use the restroom."Jake merely stared at her in silence. She indeed went to the restroom. At the restroom entrance, she stopped a waiter, saying, "I need pen and paper."The waiter soon returned with the requested items. She wrote a line on the paper.

"Mr. Webson, why are you looking at me like that?" Rachel tilted her head, confusion in her eyes as she looked at Jake.His gaze was deep and inscrutable. When Rachel questioned him, he looked away. "Looking at you how?""Do you think your brand ambassador is nothing like what you expected?" she asked.Jake gave her a lazy smile and replied, "I personally signed off on my brand ambassador. I wouldn't undermine you, no matter what. You don't need to worry, Ms. Shaw.""Is that so?" Rachel lowered her gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips.Millie couldn't shake the feeling that every word between them was a veiled jab. She just hoped Rachel wasn't acting like this because Jake was friends with Winston.The rest of the evening dragged on. As the three of them sat together, no one dared approach their table anymore.Millie stuck it out until the early hours of the morning. By then, Rachel had definitely had too much to drink."I'll take her home," Jake stated. He then rose and gra

After sending Rachel home, Jake deliberately drove to the Greer residence. He had seen the contents of the note.It read, "Hospital. Joanna's assistant, Jeremy."However, Jake didn't know what it meant. If it was related to the hospital, could it have something to do with Selma? With that thought, he headed straight to the Greer residence.When Winston opened the door, annoyance flashed across his face. His eyes were somewhat bloodshot, a clear sign of too many sleepless nights."It's the middle of the night. What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of dropping dead?" he asked as he handed a glass of water to Jake.Jake let out a cold laugh. "You should save that advice for yourself."Winston clicked his tongue and slumped onto the couch. He then picked up the glass of liquor on the coffee table, took a sip, and asked, "What do you want?"Only then did Jake realize the living room was a disaster. Empty bottles and used glasses were scattered everywhere, and the bar counter was

On the spacious bed, Millie stretched lazily as the smart home system played the news summary from Yerwick City.She yawned, slipped into her slippers, and got up.As the curtains drew back, a silver-white landscape unfolded outside, casting a brighter light over the city.Millie glanced around and suddenly, she noticed that someone had decorated the tree in the yard. She was somewhat surprised at that sight. In the next second, she saw Terrence stepping out of the house. He then tossed some colorful lights onto the tree.Moments later, Julia followed him outside with a scarf in hand. She stood on tiptoe to drape it around Terrence, saying something as she did.Millie tilted her head and couldn't help but smile as she watched them. Her parents' love was something she both envied and felt she might never attain. Finding a lifelong partner in this fast-paced, glamorous world had become increasingly difficult. Loving someone seemed truly hard. And sadly, it felt as though everyon
