Fiona took a sharp breath, wondering what stroke of bad luck led Bella to be caught by Jessica. Her sharp inhale was interpreted by Jessica as surprise, prompting her to continue, "I felt something was off when we had dinner yesterday. Turns out I was right! No wonder you were reluctant to introduce him to me. You seem pretty honest usually, but I never imagined..."Jessica's implication couldn't have been clearer, leaving Bella speechless. She was caught red-handed, with no way to cover it up. Regretfully closing her eyes, she sighed heavily, "Since... you already know, there's not much for me to say. But... you... will you keep this secret for me?"Fiona glanced at her disdainfully, thinking they were like a pair of actors, coming up with all sorts of excuses about their marriage problems. Even though they were on the brink of divorce, they still showed affection and care for each other. Not enough credit on the credit card? Wait a moment, I'll raise the limit for you. Want to have
Calvin's car had just parked outside Bella's company when Jex called. He didn't want to pick up, but Jex was unusually patient, calling three times in a row. Calvin frowned but eventually answered. As soon as he picked up, he heard Jex's complaint, "What were you busy with? It took you so long to answer the phone.""I just got off work.""Did I hear wrong? You got off work?" Jex couldn't help raising his voice. Calvin, who usually enjoyed working overtime, actually left work early? Calvin responded lightly, asking, "What's the matter?" Then he changed his mind, "If you have something, decide it yourself, don't call me again."Jex was confused by his response, "Hey, what’s wrong with you? I'm telling you, why don't you find some time to have dinner with Julia? You've stood her up so many times, you should make it up to her."Calvin frowned, "We'll talk about it after the program recording." Usually, Jex was responsible for socializing; he was outgoing and smooth, which made investors f
Bella had been feeling quite frustrated lately, with one thing after another happening ever since Calvin's inexplicable suggestion of divorce. Apart from the lurking temptresses outside, she found herself bombarded with calls from elders showing their concern. Now, with work deadlines looming, Bella's mother decided to call. Trying to multitask, Bella occasionally responded while secretly hoping her mother would hang up soon, as her chatter was mostly empty words.Glancing at the time, half an hour had passed already. Wasn't it time to end this endless conversation? Finally, during a brief pause from Bella's mother, she interjected, "Mom, I'm still at work. I've noted down everything you said. Let's talk more tonight, okay?"Bella's mother immediately sensed that Bella hadn't been listening and grew annoyed. "You brat! I'm telling you something important, can't you pay attention? If you really end up divorced, you'll be the one regretting it. Where will you find another husband like C
During lunch break, the office was sparsely populated. Some went out to eat, some gathered for casual chats, and others took a nap on their desks. Fiona planned to catch up on some gossip and then take a nap, but when she saw Bella returning with a stainless steel basin, she couldn't help but be curious. "What are you doing? Didn't you eat enough for lunch?" She remembered they had lunch together, and Bella didn't eat less than usual. As Bella placed the basin down, Fiona was surprised to see that it was filled with hot water. What was she up to? Steaming her face? Since when did she become so particular? Bella sighed and took out a packet of Chinese medicine from her bag, tossing it into the basin. Fiona exclaimed, "What's this? Medicine? Are we treating low libido with medicine now?" Bah! Couldn't she speak normally? Bella gave her a disdainful glare. "Could you introduce me to a practitioner who treats low libido?" Fiona shrugged. "As a single woman of a certain age, I urgently
"Business trip?" Calvin was genuinely surprised this time. While she might not understand his job, he knew quite a bit about hers. There were two reasons for that: what she had told him herself and what Calvin's mother had mentioned. She worked in graphic design, as a low-level employee, so why would she need to go on a business trip? "Where are you going? What's the purpose of the trip?"Rarely did he see her surprised like this, and Bella strangely felt a sense of achievement. She smiled and teased, "Guess!"Calvin didn't pay attention to such nonsense. Guess? How could he even start? There was no reason for her, a junior designer, to go on a business trip. Bella didn't keep him guessing for long and continued, "Thailand! Leaving on the 18th." She passionately described the perks of Cara's Sentimental Coconut Juice, and then sighed deeply, "After three years in the company, I finally get to enjoy this kind of benefit. This trip to Thailand can be considered a company-paid vacation.
"Do it again? How shameless of him to say it so smoothly! And she believed he would definitely do as he said!" Bella was almost going crazy, and she didn’t even bother to swear. She struggled to break free from the large hand locked around her waist, feeling unable to communicate with him verbally. It was more straightforward to just leave.Calvin seemed to be enjoying the moment, letting her twist and struggle on his lap like a playful cat, watching her futile attempts to pry open his fingers. Suddenly, he extended his hand to wrap his arm around her and pulled her closer, his nose brushing against her ear. "Focus," he whispered."Calvin! Have you lost your mind?" Bella wanted to avoid his breath but had nowhere to hide, trembling with each wave of fear. "The door isn't closed, my mom is still outside!" She had just casually closed the door, leaving a fist-sized gap. How dare he?Calvin glanced towards the door, unconcerned. "It's okay, Mom won't come in.""I... I'll go close the doo
It was always him charging in recklessly, so it was a first for her to take the lead. Now his penis was pressed up against her, teasing her until she couldn't stop trembling, desperately wanting to take him in. She even suspected that the overflowing desire was trickling down. Probably finding her movements too slow, he pressed down on her waist, and she moaned softly as she sat down completely, her legs giving way.The sudden feeling of fullness was satisfyingly trembling, he involuntarily tightening and refusing to let her go. She leaned against him, gasping for air, feeling so deep! Pressing against unknown places, waves of tingling sensations rushed over her one after another, unstoppable and overwhelming, making her feel a little dizzy.He supported her waist and helped her move, whispering in her ear, "Can you move yourself?""Mmm..." She weakly shook her head, clutching his clothes tightly, "I... I don't know...""Just follow my lead." As long as she cast aside her shyness, ins
Bella squeezed herself further into the corner, desperately trying to create some distance, but it was too late. She couldn't help but lament the height of the building. If they were on the third floor, she would have taken the stairs. Devon glanced at the floor display and smiled, "We're almost there.""Uh-huh." Bella felt extremely embarrassed. What was she doing, standing so close to a completely unrelated man? If she were a naive young girl, perhaps she would have some romantic fantasies, but unfortunately, she wasn't. Besides, all her romantic fantasies had been given to Calvin.As the elevator ascended, it gradually became more spacious, and Devon stepped back. Bella breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt awkward. Finally, they reached the fifteenth floor, and she was the first to pull Jessica out. Devon followed, "Bella, come to my office later.""Um... okay." Bella couldn't refuse even if she had a hundred reasons not to. Jessica looked at Devon passing by and asked in a lo
