Then, Lance devoted himself to his work until the end of the day.It was not really working overtime as he was just correcting a few figures with the other party because of a minor problem with the contract.After hanging up the phone, it was already late. However, it was still very early for Lance the workaholic.It was early enough to book a restaurant in advance to prepare a surprise.Thus, Lance was very excited when he opened the door and went out. However, the moment he went out, he looked at the bright and empty space and froze.No one was there.This was something that had never happened before.Where was everyone?Lance frowned and felt very strange.Even if no one was working overtime, there would still be at least one person around, right?Besides, Lance had not gotten off work yet, but his assistant and secretary got off work first?Was this a joke?Lance’s eyes grew slightly sullen.He immediately called Yvette.She was not here either.The phone rang severa
Click!The lights came on, and the darkness faded. The noise stopped in an instant.The brightness seemed to pull everyone back to the real world.Their hearts instantly turned cold!Everyone was still wearing a smile on their faces, and their eyes subconsciously looked over towards the person who turned on the lights.The name of the person they just shouted stood there with a sullen face, dark eyes, and an icy smile at the corners of his mouth as he stared at them one by one.Of course, his gaze finally landed on Yvette, who was in the middle.The few seconds of silence seemed to be stretched.Everyone stood there stiffly, not even daring to move.They really hoped that it was a dream.However, every one of them had a part in it. It was like their brains were short-circuited. They drank a few bottles of wine and scolded Lance together with Yvette.No one made a sound.Yvette froze as if she was turned into stone.A cold draft came in.Yvette watched as the man in front
Yvette thought about it but could not figure it out.Lance suddenly spoke.“Did you forget anything when you got off work today?”Yvette was stunned.She looked up at him, baffled.Lance looked at her expression and gave her a small reminder.“When you got off work...”Yvette blinked and spoke firmly.“Although I came to eat, drink, and have fun, I made sure before I came that there were no urgent matters that needed to be dealt with tonight. So, there was no delay in any business.”Yvette looked at him and raised her eyebrows.She looked at him like he was making a fuss out of nothing.Lance tapped the steering wheel.“When you got off work, you forgot to call me. Since you invited people from the office and used my card to treat them, why didn’t you ask me to come along?”Lance spoke in a low voice and guided her patiently.It was so hard to make her realize her mistake by herself, so he might as well say it frankly.Yvette stiffened for a moment and then frowned.Why
When Lance leaned his whole body over, Yvette only blushed slightly and pushed him away to remind him.“This is the garage...”His hand clutched her wrist, and his lips fell on her body like rain, lingering and stoking her fire.“It doesn’t matter. It’s all the same...”His low voice was husky as if he was restraining a certain emotion. It was very compelling.Yvette was just putting on an act and immediately let go, no longer resisting.If it was all the same, then she did not mind it.No one would come over to disturb them anyway.......An unknown amount of time passed.Yvette felt like she was in a body of water. Drunkenness and exhaustion overwhelmed her, which made her unable to tell if this was a dream or reality.It felt like someone carried her in and went to a very warm place. There was water all around, and it felt very comfortable.She paddled the water with ease. Her consciousness blurred as if she was playing in the sea at a beach.Very faintly, she heard som
Yvette regretted saying that sentence. She originally thought that Lance was not that ferocious, but men really could not stand being provoked. Even during normal days, it would be two or three times at most.However, tonight, Yvette could not even close her eyes. They were fooling around until daybreak. Before dawn, Yvette could still hear the sound of their hearts beating violently.......Nicole was bored, especially under the double protection of Clayton and Floyd. Those two people basically took turns to watch her. Things like business trips and social engagements became a burden that completely fell on Kai.She was bored at home and got the approval to go to the office for three hours a day.Kai did not even have the chance to refuse, so he got to work at the last minute. However, under strong pressure, there were still a few social functions he was unable to go to.He took an invitation to Nicole’s office and helplessly held his forehead.“A party suddenly popped up in th
Nicole brushed the topic aside with a jest.Everyone naturally could not fuss over whether she answered the question or not. After all, Ms. Stanton’s temper was not to be messed with.Clayton hung up her coat and held her waist gently. In fact, he was carefully protecting her belly. She knew but did not say anything.Nicole paused and glanced at him.“I didn’t know you’d be here.”Clayton smiled. “It’s my fault for not telling you.”Nicole smiled and walked over to sit down. Clayton bent over to hold her chair. “Don’t drink later. Ms. Quimbey is over there...”Clayton pointed in a direction. Yvette was sitting among a group of women playing bridge. She clearly saw Nicole, but she could not bear to leave because of the good cards in her hands.She waved her hand to greet Nicole, who stood up with a smile.“Okay, you can go socialize. I’ll go find Yvette.”These people usually brought dates when socializing, but some people did not bring their wives. They all knew it in their h
Everyone fell silent. Nicole and Yvette exchanged a look. After years of tacit understanding, they suddenly understood that this woman was most likely talking about her own husband.The woman looked well taken care of, but she did not appear often in the circle. However, maybe they would know her name if she said it.Tina’s family was considered a little rich, but it was far behind the people present.However, the person she married was her childhood sweetheart, Zach, who was very good at doing business.Zach was considered a very capable person and rose to prominence in Atlanta’s business circle. He occupied a place in the science and technology sector in just a few years, so it made people envy and admire him.However, although he was capable, his private life was criticized.Back then, Tina and her husband got married because of their deep affection for each other. As a result, after the company got on the right track, Zach asked Tina to take a back seat and focus on the famil
Once they looked, sure enough, everyone could not help but laugh.“Ms. Stanton, you really are lucky! You actually won with those rotten cards!”“Oh dear, isn’t that lady just now going to regret it?”......The awkwardness just now was covered up by jokes and laughter.Nicole also acted as if she did not hear and brushed it over with a smile. The chips in front of her piled up. She smiled and waved at the woman who had given up her seat earlier.“You’re just in time. You can take over this round. Just use the chips as you please. I’m going to look for Clayton.”Nicole stood up as she spoke, not dragging her feet at all.Yvette looked at Nicole and also stood up with a smile. “I’m leaving too, lest my man says I’m not doing my job.”She walked over and took Nicole’s arm, leaning close to her.“Are you upset?”Tina was unhappy with her own life and had no control over her mouth. Was she not afraid of offending others?It seemed like Tina would not be allowed to attend such o
