Hailey headed for Alex in her heels. Never did she expect that Hannah would stop her in her tracks.In fact, Hailey did not know the reception manager at all since she had just taken over City salon. With a slight frown on her face, she immediately asked, “What do you need from me?”Actually, Hannah had been waiting to meet Hailey.That was because after the change of ownership at City Salon, Jackie Luden, who was initially in charge of the salon, left. On the other hand, Hailey was the owner of Belle Blossom, she was too occupied to take charge of both establishments. Apparently, she wanted to hire a capable general manager to manage City Salon.For Hannah, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, she had to take initiative and offer herself for the position.At this moment, after seeing Hailey taking initiative to ask her, Hannah quickly said, “Well, I heard that City Salon is looking for a general manager to manage its daily operations. I feel that I have the confidence a
“The boss that you insulted is him!” Hailey pointed at Alex.“He… he is…” Hannah widened her eyes in disbelief as she was extremely shocked.Hailey said, “Yes, Alex Rockefeller is your boss, the actual CEO of City Salon! From now on, you are fired!”“Argh!” After receiving Hailey’s firm response, Hannah was all shaken up as her face was as white as a sheet.“No, this is impossible. How could he be the owner of City Salon?”Hailey wanted nothing to do with her. “Go to the finance department and take your check now, begone!”Hannah’s legs trembled and almost collapsed onto the floor.City Salon had a bright future ahead, especially now with the addition of Lush Cosmetics, the salon raked in huge profits daily. Despite great hardships, she managed to climb up the ladder to become the reception manager. She even sacrificed her body and slept with Jackie Lundel for several times behind her boyfriend’s back to achieve her goal.However, now she was relieved of her job.She could not
“Um…”“I am sorry, I didn't mean to do it!”Alex let go of his grasp quickly and helped Hailey to get on her feet.Hailey’s face flushed as she glared at him while gritting her teeth. She lamented softly, “Who knows if you did it on purpose!”“I swear, it was unintentional.”At that very moment, Hailey screamed out of the blue again and fell onto Alex. The spot that Alex groped earlier fell into Alex’s embrace on its own, without any barriers.“Ouch, my foot hurts.”“Hm?”“I think I sprained it earlier.”Alex hurriedly replied, “Let me have a look.”He stooped and grabbed her ankle. Only then did he realize that she was wearing black pantyhose, like those that extended up to her thighs. With that garment on, he could not see the condition of her ankle. However, after observation using his Third Eye, her ankle should be fine.At most, she just sprained the soft tissues of her ankle.Alex gave it a light pinch.Hailey let out a faint cry. “Ouch.”At this moment, she heard sounds of fo
Even his heartbeat increased. A strong urge surfaced in Alex’s mind and kept pushing him to turn his head around right now to see what she was doing!“I’m done!”Just as Alex was resisting the conflicts in his mind, Hailey spoke just in time to interrupt Alex’s wild imagination.He turned around and saw the pantyhose was crumpled like a ball and rolled all the way down to her calves. She could not pull them down further by herself due to her injuries. Alex had to help and take it off in the end.After taking off the pantyhose, the condition of her legs was now clear for Alex to see.Both ankles had different degrees of swelling. The right foot was in a much serious condition where the soft tissues were badly torn. Fortunately, the bones were intact. Under such circumstances, the treatment was not too difficult.However, Alex’s attention was attracted by her toenail polish with a floral motif for several seconds.“I shall begin your treatment now!”“Sure!”Then, Alex forcefully kept h
A pair of pantyhose couldn’t be considered as a private object. Yet, it meant something else for men, especially a pair of pantyhose that had been worn by a beautiful lady. It would even make their imagination run wild.How would a man think if he saw the garments that were worn by his wife were lying next to a handsome young man on a couch? Anyway, it wasn’t a trust issue but infidelity.Fortunately, Charles did not notice such details. Otherwise, he would have misunderstood and it would surely leave a stigma in his heart, which was not a good thing for their family.He thought, ‘I need to be extra careful in situations like this.’Hailey went and poured Charles a glass of water and said, “How was the trip, darling? Alex came with good news. I am sure you will be over the moon when you hear it.”“Oh? Alex, what’s the good news?” said Charles. His expression immediately turned to surprise as he continued, “Why are you dressed like this? This security guard uniform seems to be from
Alex did not get to carefully inspect the medicinal herbs that Nathan brought over. He was reminded only when he saw the herbs scattered on the tea table and caught a whiff of their refreshing aroma upon returning to his home.‘Dragon Wood of the Fifties!’‘Twelve Bearded Barley!’‘Blood Plum!’‘Rainbow Orchid!’‘...’Alex broke out into a wide grin after inspecting the herbs.At this moment, he could see the wide network connection of the patriarch of the Pattingson family in Alaska. In just a few days, he managed to gather all of the herbs on Alex’s list, with all of them in good quality too.In fact, most of the medicinal herbs here were not meant for Nathan.With the flaming lotus reishi in hand, the concoction of Energy Recovery Pill would not be difficult.One Energy Recovery Pill could completely heal Nathan’s damaged upper energy core within an hour, but he would not do that.Both Nathan’s son and grandson were killed by Alex. Who knew what the old man was thinking?
Alex spent a full half-hour in the bath until his skin was wrinkled from the moisture.He found himself in a predicament.Waltz’s intention was very obvious, the only thing lacking was the words “come onto me” written on her face.However, did he dare to make advances on her?He was conflicted as it was a very difficult decision.As a married man, Alex had yet to sleep with his wife, Dorothy. He was really afraid that he would lose control and slept with Waltz! When the time came, how could he explain it to Dorothy? How could he explain it to Waltz… What if Waltz wanted him to divorce Dorothy and marry her instead…It was indeed a tough decision. Therefore, he deliberately dragged the time out in the bathroom. He thought she would have fallen asleep. To his surprise, she was leaning on the headboard of the bed and playing on her phone.She was wide awake.Seeing Alex with his dripping-wet hairs, she immediately put down her phone and grabbed a hairdryer as she said in excitemen
“Hey, where are you going?”“To reflect on my mistake!”***Alex spent the entire night in the basement.Alex, who was full of energy but had nowhere to vent, went straight to concoct both the Energy Recovery Pill and the pills to alleviate Nathan Pattingson’s damaged energy core.Then, he also managed to concoct a batch of Blood Energy Pills.It was six-thirty in the morning.Deep in her sleep, Waltz was slapped by Alex on her thigh. “Wake up, sleepyhead!”Waltz was still in a drowsy state. “It hurts! Wait, what time is it?”Alex replied, “The Energy Recovery Pill is ready. It can restore your martial arts, do you want it? Otherwise, I’ll give it to Michelle Yowell.”Waltz leaped out of the bed immediately upon hearing Alex’s question. “Yes, yes. I want it, quick, give it to me.”She was rather loud.Nathan Pattingson, who slept a floor beneath, heard everything.He had a habit of waking up early and had been meditating since a while ago. After hearing their conversation,
