All Chapters of Live Flesh: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The meeting ended just before eleven o'clock. Juliet Wagner had arranged for The Driver to book a presidential suite at the hotel next to the convention center, and also instructed the hotel to deliver lunch directly to the room so that Morgan Byron could eat and rest right away."Mr. Byron," Juliet Wagner handed the room key to Morgan Byron, "the hotel will bring your lunch up at 11:15. You can rest until noon, giving you two hours of rest. The meeting starts at 2:30 PM. I'll be in the room next door and will knock on your door at 2:00 PM."Morgan Byron didn't take the key from her hand. Sensing his intention, Juliet Wagner opened the door with the key herself. As he walked in, she was about to close the door and leave, but he called out as if he had eyes in the back of his head, "Come in."Juliet Wagner followed him in, gently closing the door behind her. "Is there anything else, Mr. Byron?"He didn't respond, walking straight into the bedroom and taking off his jacket, tossing i

Juliet Wagner, as a secretary, was impeccable in her work.Not only did she handle her duties flawlessly, but she also took meticulous care of Morgan Byron's personal life.She knew all his preferences, tastes, and habits.She even knew about his minor health issues, down to which trace elements he might be lacking.Sure enough, before he could finish his noodles, Juliet Wagner had already prepared his daily vitamins, neatly arranged in a compartmentalized box. She would always bring them to him at the right time, along with a glass of warm water.Today, there was an additional dark purple capsule in the vitamin mix. Juliet Wagner explained, "It's grape seed extract, which helps lower cholesterol."Seeing that Morgan Byron was looking at her, Juliet Wagner added, "I don't mean to say you have high cholesterol, but the last health report of Madam indicated slightly elevated levels. It seems your father has the same issue. I suspect the family chef might use a bit too much oil in t

The boy felt a bit uneasy hearing her laughter, glancing at her in confusion. Not being very familiar with the roads, this one glance almost led him to take a wrong turn. Juliet Wagner quickly corrected him, "Turn right down that road." He apologized repeatedly, "Sorry, I just got back from abroad and I'm not too familiar with the roads here. Things have changed so much over the years. I remember there used to be a large shopping mall around here, didn't there?" "It was demolished last year," Juliet Wagner replied. "The world changes every day; even a short absence can make everything unrecognizable." Hearing the wistful tone in her voice, the boy stole another look at her while waiting at a red light. Since he was looking at her, Juliet Wagner took the opportunity to examine him closely. His profile was quite striking, but his front view was average. Moreover, he didn't have that distinctive mole on the tip of his nose like Eden. Although she felt a bit disappoint

A moment later, there was a knock on the door upstairs, followed by his gentle voice, "Helen, I'm here. Can you open the door, please?"There was no response from inside the room. Morgan Byron knocked for a long time, but there was still no movement. The anxiety and urgency in his knocking could be clearly heard.Juliet Wagner quickly ran upstairs to find Morgan Byron's face dark with worry."I'll go get the key." Juliet Wagner went to the storage room and found the spare key, but the door had been locked from the inside, and the key couldn't open it."What have you done to her?" Morgan Byron sternly questioned her.Juliet Wagner suggested, "Maybe we should break down the door. I'll call The Driver.""We can't scare her," Morgan Byron said as he quickly walked into the adjacent room. Juliet Wagner followed him. He went to the balcony, intending to climb over to the next one.Although the rooms were adjacent, the distance between the balconies was considerable, at least a meter a

Perhaps the reason for keeping Juliet Wagner around was just this.Morgan Byron had always disliked complications, and he knew that keeping a woman by his side for too long would eventually lead to problems. But Juliet Wagner was an exception.The stand-ins he had before, though they put on a good show, all harbored ambitions of their own, hoping to replace Helena as Morgan Byron's true girlfriend or even Mrs. Byron.As for his love and longing for Helena, no one could understand it. He had even heard the stand-ins privately calling him a pervert.Only Juliet Wagner understood and even agreed with him.At this moment, the sincerity in her eyes was not an act.She seemed to genuinely empathize with him.Approaching Morgan Byron with a trail of cigarette smoke, she looked up at his face and murmured, "Mr. Byron, I understand, I get it. No matter what anyone says about you, they will never truly understand your thoughts. The departed lover is etched in your heart, like a mold mad
