Kendrick gazed into Anna’s eyes.Her eyes were red, like a little bunny that had been wronged.Yet, despite her delicate appearance, her gaze was unwavering.Thinking back to how roughly he had kissed her earlier, Kendrick felt even more guilty.He gently kissed the corner of her lips. “Does it still hurt?”As soon as he asked, Annabelle’s face flushed red. “Which part are you asking about…?”Kendrick chuckled. “All of it.”“It all still hurts!” she huffed, full of grievance.Kendrick kissed her again. “Then let’s go to bed and take it slow…”Annabelle lowered her eyes, her cheeks burning as she nodded slightly, then wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.Kendrick lifted her from the desk and was about to carry her to the bedroom when she suddenly said, “Wait a second!”“What’s wrong?”“Go the other way—there’s glass here.”Kendrick was stunned for a moment and looked down at the floor.Shards of the broken glass from the cup he had smashed earlier were scattered across the ground.

“You’re not going to the office today?” Annabelle asked.Kendrick replied that things at the company had gradually stabilized, so he no longer needed to work overtime as much as before. That meant he finally had time to properly spend with her.Then, he added with a smile, “So today, I’m all yours, completely at your service.”Annabelle’s face turned red as she pushed him away. All hers? More like she was all his for the day!But hearing that the company was running smoothly, she felt relieved. She had been quietly worrying about him, so this news was a weight off her chest.Since he finally had time to rest, she hoped he could relax at home for a while. “Where are we going later? If you’re tired, we can just stay home and take it easy.”“I’m not tired. You’ll find out when we get there. Sleep a little longer, okay?” Kendrick kissed the corner of her lips before getting out of bed.Annabelle was still a bit sleepy, so she decided to take a short nap.As she closed her eyes, memories o

At the mention of Tokyo, Julissa’s heart clenched.Scott had gone on a business trip to Japan for about a month, spending most of that time in Tokyo.Back then, she hadn’t accepted his confession yet. Even when she was hospitalized after getting injured, he hadn’t rushed back immediately.She had always thought he was just busy with work.But… had he actually stayed behind to be with his ex-girlfriend? Was that why he didn’t return?Yet, after he came back, they had officially started dating. Scott had never shown any signs of being unfaithful.Julissa couldn’t make sense of it."You’re surprised and confused," Yvette said, watching her closely. "So you really didn’t know anything.""Then please, tell me, Senior."Her voice remained calm, but in that moment, she felt as if a thin crack had appeared between her and Scott.And cracks—could shatter in an instant.Yvette sighed helplessly. "He made a commitment to you. So even if he wanted to get back together with me, he would suppress i

Julissa walked into the CEO’s office.Scott was seated in the main spot of the lounge area. He looked up at her with a slight frown.“Something wrong?”Julissa nodded, wanting to say many things, but held them back.There were others in the office—two people from the partner company and Jerry.They were sitting in the lounge area, chatting.In her rush earlier, she had forgotten that Scott was busy.“It’s not urgent. You finish first, I’ll wait here.”With that, she quietly walked to the window and sat at the small side table nearby.It might’ve seemed a little rude, but Julissa had only one thing on her mind now: to wait until Scott finished his meeting, so she could ask him—was there still another woman in his heart?If so, then this relationship—and this job—had no reason to continue.Julissa had no intention of being with a man who was two-timing.Scott chatted a bit more with the partners, then glanced over at her by the window.He could tell from her expression that something se

Julissa was both scared and angry after hearing those words—mostly because Scott didn’t sound like he was joking.The worst part was that she was the one who was heartbroken, and now she had to back down? How was that fair?“Fine, we won’t break up,” she said, “but we need to talk.”Only then did Scott get up. He helped her put her dress back on and tidied up his own appearance.Worried she might run again, he wisely went over and locked the door to the lounge room before returning to the sofa.He pulled the deflated little dove of a girl back onto his lap.“Alright, tell me—who told you about Yvette?”Julissa was fuming, but sitting on his lap, she didn’t dare provoke him further. So she explained obediently.“She told me herself. When you were talking business with the partners, Yvette came to the company. She said you two used to date and that she wants to get back together.She also said you’re tempted but hesitant because you’re already with me, and you don’t want to hurt me.So
