"Never mind," she said. "I'll stay with this job for now. I'll just quit once I've gained some impressive achievements and made my resume look better.""But don't you mind how those people treated you earlier?""Of course I do! But…" Lisa shrugged and added, "I guess it's the disappointing helplessness of ordinary people. I'm just like them too. Even if I never got along with those people much, I still had to stay with the job in order to make a living. As for them… Well, the person attacking me at the time was Jenny Hall herself. If they had helped me back there, it would've meant declaring themselves as her enemy, and I'm not a dear friend of theirs anyway, so why would they ever do such a foolish thing just for me?"Terry was somewhat surprised that Lisa could see through all that.But as soon as Lisa had finished her sentence, her body seemed to stiffen up, and she began to stare at him with a weird look in her eyes."What's wrong?" he asked, frowning slightly. "Why are you

She didn’t want to ignore the feeling in her heart. There was no denying that she had been moved by his actions, so she didn’t want to miss this opportunity again. It wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that she had already missed the first shot more than three years ago. Now that she was presented with a second chance, she didn’t want to miss it again. The way he stared at her fixedly with those enchanting dark eyes, it was almost like he was trying to see every inch of her body and soul. “You really want to start a real relationship with me?” he asked with a slightly hoarse voice. She nodded.“A word of warning. Once we start this relationship, I won’t allow you to leave so casually in the future. I’ll overlook the time when you left me without saying goodbye, but if you do that again, I might just break your legs so you can’t go anywhere.” Every word that Terry uttered carried the effect of a full warning in itself. Lisa felt her body tremble. She was so nervous that she didn’t noti

“It suits me well,” replied Serenity. “That’s great. If you need anything else, let me know. You don’t have to be embarrassed about it. If you feel bad about it, you can always pay me back after you get your paycheck,” said Lisa.“Alright.” Serenity smiled, but there was a hint of reluctance in her expression.“What’s the matter? Is there something else that you need?” “No, it’s just…” After a moment’s pause, Serenity continued speaking. “Yesterday, when you picked me up… do you remember what I was doing?” She had been thinking about this all day, but she couldn’t remember what she had done after walking out of Skylit Bar completely intoxicated. The only thing she vaguely remembered was seeing Jackson.“You… uh... passed out in Jackson’s arms,” said Lisa. Serenity froze up in an instant. “Did… anything else happen?” “No. After I arrived, both Terry and I helped you get into the car,” explained Lisa. “But… before we left, I was still angry at him for breaking up with you, so I gave

“Alright, understood,” replied Serenity.“We’re going to submit the documents tomorrow, so the client must sign it today,” reminded Mr. Graham before handing her the client’s information.When Serenity called the number he gave her, it was the client’s secretary who answered the call. He told her that his boss was attending a party that night at Splendour and that if she wanted the document to be signed, she would have to find him there. Over the phone, he told her the hall number where the party was being held.Splendour was one of the most popular nightclubs in Solaria. When Serenity arrived at the hall, she found herself surrounded by a sea of people, all partying wildly. For a moment, she felt lost and couldn’t figure out which person was her client.It was after she called the secretary again that she found their client standing next to the pool table.At first glance, she could tell he was from a rich family. His reputation wasn’t the greatest—due to his violent tendencies towa

What was he doing here today?! She never thought she would bump into Lucas so soon. Looks like the world was smaller than she thought. Serenity glanced up and a figure entered her field of view. Tonight, Lucas was dressed in a white casual outfit. Compared to the formal outfits that he usually wore, he looked much more laid back. With the help of the lighting, she was able to make out the faint indifference in his expression. Even though he was surrounded by the crowd, she always felt that there was an invisible barrier that separated him from the ruckus around him. It was as if he had set up a barrier in the area around him, and he never allowed anyone to step into his world so easily. In the past… the only one who could step through this barrier was the little girl who had walked through hell with him, or in other words… her former self! But… Serenity’s gaze fell upon the woman who had walked into the hall arm-in-arm with him. She was her cousin, Lynette, who was serving as h

In the eyes of commoners, these people were all rich folks. However, within the community, the social circles were divided into various levels. Just when Coles least expected it, Lucas replied, “Sure.” Of course, he was immediately overjoyed when he heard that. It felt as if he had won a big prize. If he could use this opportunity to get acquainted with Lucas, his status within the community might get elevated in the future. When Coles brought Lucas and Lynette over to the pool table, Serenity had no choice but to greet them with a reluctant smile. It seemed like… your worst fears would always come back to haunt you. Serenity took a deep breath and stepped forward. “Mr. Lexington, before that, could you please sign this document?” “Stand aside! Can’t you see that you’re bothering us?” snapped Coles impatiently. He was worried that she would stand in the way of him and Lucas. Serenity lowered her head and bit her lip nervously. She could feel Lucas’ gaze on her body. It was only

"I like it, I didn't know pool could be so much fun," Lynette laughed. Coles would not stop flattering Lucas and Lynette. He said that Lucas gave good advice and Lynette had natural talent.Serenity, who was standing off to the side, was completely ignored.Serenity could not believe how fake Lynette was. She never knew that her cousin could lie with such confidence.Lucas must wholeheartedly believe that Lynette was the little girl who saved him by now.Even if Serenity were to tell Lucas the truth now, he might not believe her.The pain in her knees was getting worse.Serenity frowned, her lips shut tight. She tried her best to ignore the pain in her knees and told herself to hang in there.She had to wait until the game ended to talk to Coles.Because Serenity's head hung low, she was unaware that a certain someone was looking at her out of the corner of his eye.Lucas knew that he should stop caring about Serenity Lewis. They had made things very clear between them that

Serenity suddenly stumbled, her knees giving out.Just as she was about to collapse, a hand grabbed her waist and prevented her fall."What's wrong with your legs?" Lucas asked coldly, having noticed her limp when she walked over just now. "It's an old injury," Serenity replied, then thanked him for his help. He pursed his lips and withdrew his hand. His eyes moved to her legs. An old injury? She had that kind of old injury?"Serenity, are you okay?" Lynette quickly showed Serenity concern. "If your legs bother you, sit down and take a break."Serenity gave her cousin a cold stare. If Lynette truly cared about Serenity, she would not have let Serenity stand there for so long while she played pool.Coles was surprised. He asked with an uneasy expression, "You... know each other?" "Yes, we're cousins," Lynette said with a smile.Coles became even more uneasy. He said to Serenity, "Why didn't you tell me that earlier? If you had, I would've signed the document in a heartbeat."
