"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

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

The team for "Nostalgia Coconut Juice" was officially established yesterday, comprising seven members with Emily as the team leader. Judging from the personnel arrangement, the company attaches great importance to this project, as all participants possess both experience and capabilities, except for Bella, who sticks out like a sore thumb. Despite being a seasoned employee for several years, her business acumen is undeniable. Mr. Devon has promoted individuals out of the ordinary before, but those were young girls. Bella is already married, for heaven's sake! But that's not all. Mr. Devon actually assigned her to work with Emily on the project, which inevitably prompts speculation. Bella, tasked with creating a poster that underwent eight revisions, is now involved in planning? Setting aside her actual capabilities, Emily is astute and assertive, always a favorite in Mr. Devon's eyes. Bella's attempt to steal her spotlight might lead to a difficult time ahead. And indeed, Bella's da

Listening to the noisy knocking and conversation on the other end of the phone, as well as Bella's hurried responses, he quickly gave her a few instructions and let her go. Bella really didn't have time to talk on the phone at the moment. When she went out, she saw Devon wearing a T-shirt and beach shorts, chatting with Bonnie in the room. When he saw Bella coming out, he smiled and said, "Get ready. We're going swimming." Bella was a bit dumbfounded. It seemed that this business trip had more leisure activities than she had expected. Whatever, if the boss said to go swimming, why would she worry about work? She hurriedly rummaged through her suitcase for her swimsuit, and heard Devon ask, "Do you guys know how to swim?" None of them knew how to swim, and Devon seemed a bit helpless. He smiled and said, "Looks like we need to give you all a crash course in swimming." Bella didn't even lift her head, thinking that Devon might be treating this trip to Thailand as a vacation, feeling

The next day, Bonnie and Flora were startled by Bella's swollen eyes. How did she end up like this overnight? Bella didn't need a mirror to know her eyes must look terrible. Faced with their concern, she could only attribute it to drinking too much water and not sleeping well the night before. In a rush in the morning, she quickly applied cold compress and headed out again. As expected, her haggard appearance prompted everyone to inquire about what happened. Devon was skeptical of her explanation and joked, "I thought you cried all night. We worked hard yesterday, let's finish early today." Everyone agreed, even starting to plan the evening's activities. Bella forced a smile, eating her breakfast like wax, hoping this disastrous trip would end soon. Suddenly, Devon pushed something towards her. She looked at him puzzled. Wasn't this the phone he offered her yesterday? She had declined. Devon calmly said, "There's no time to buy a new phone now. Use this one for now, and return it t
