Felix turned his head and faced his icy glare, causing his entire body to shiver.Why did Damien seem to be staring at him more and more menacingly? He hadn't done anything wrong.Jane glanced at Damien, but he suddenly turned his back to her, so she couldn't discern his emotions.Seth shut the door and announced, "Please take a seat, everyone.""Of course, let's sit down," agreed Felix and the others, taking their seats one by one.Jane observed the individuals seated around the circular table. Apart from Felix, there were three men and one woman.Initially, two men and one woman cast a few glances at her, but then they lost interest.However, a bespectacled man in his thirties with a poised and tranquil demeanor continued to gaze at her. He met her eyes, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.Jane averted her gaze, intending to wait for everyone to sit down before finding an unoccupied seat."Come here," commanded Damien in a frigid tone.Felix, Tuchel, and others followed his gaze, th
Felix was currently feeling guilty, so he was eager to please. He stood up and addressed Jane, "Greetings, Goddess. My name is Felix and I hold Damien in high regard. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best to assist you."After introducing themselves, Damien suggested they start eating. Everyone looked at him, wondering if he would explain his relationship with Jane, but he remained silent.Felix couldn't help but comment on the spicy and soy sauce-laden dishes. He remembered that Damien preferred lighter fare.Damien picked up a piece of salmon and dipped it in soy sauce before placing it in Jane's bowl. She was about to decline, but then someone's fork accidentally fell into her bowl.All eyes turned to Tuchel, who quickly apologized and looked embarrassed. His considerate behavior towards Jane made him appear creepy to Felix.He would prefer to believe that there was toxic substance in that dish, and Damien was intentionally poisoning him!No, Damien woul
"Hey, why aren't you all consuming vegetables?" Emily, who had just returned from her phone call, looked up and saw everyone sitting in a daze, each lost in their own thoughts, feeling perplexed."Let's eat now." Bernard smiled faintly and sipped his wine.Emily pointed at the large Australian lobster in the center of the table, "I want to eat lobster, could you peel it for me?""Sure!" Bernard put down his wine glass, took a large lobster, and began to peel it.Emily watched his movements with a smile on her face.Suddenly, her eyes fell on Jane, and she smiled and said, "Jane, this lobster is quite delicious, have you ever tasted it before?"Jane was taken aback as she didn't expect Emily to speak to her.When she was a child, her family's financial status was average, and her family's money was spent on supporting her in various interest classes, so her standard of living was not very high.Later, her adoptive parents passed away one after another, and she had to pay for Jonathan's
Felix was taken aback momentarily, feeling a bit remorseful, "That's all."It appeared that his attempt to please Damien by pleasing the goddess had failed.He placed the lobster onto a dish and sat down.Damien gazed at Jane, the chill in his eyes receding like a receding tide, and the oppressive atmosphere in the private room also dissipated."How can you know you're allergic if you haven't consumed it?" Emily suddenly spoke.Jane glanced at the girl beside her, who was slightly older than her, and sensed that she was hostile towards her."Tuk Tuk Tuk" the sound of fingertips tapping on the table suddenly rang out.Accompanied by the man's soft voice, "Have you spoken enough?"Although his tone was considered gentle, anyone who knew him well understood that as soon as the sound emerged, it meant that he was impatient and on the verge of losing his temper.Emily flinched, looked at his cold countenance, and immediately lowered her head, not daring to speak.Tuchel, Felix, and the oth
Jane glanced at the meat in the bowl, picked it up and took a bite without saying a word. It was probably the most delicious dish she had tasted tonight. Damien's gentle voice sounded in her ear, "Who upset you? Don't keep it to yourself."Jane turned her head to meet Damien's light brown eyes and shook her head. "It's not that I'm upset."She knew that although these people smiled at her, they looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts. In their minds, she should be a little star that Damien had raised, and it was difficult for her to be considered elegant. That's why Emily made things difficult for her or tried to remind her of her status.She had anticipated this and had initially intended to pretend not to know Damien.Damien took another piece of meat for her and said, "Eat more. If you're full, you won't have supper tonight."Jane looked at the tenderness in his peach blossom eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She felt a strange emotion growing within her that she could
What about that aspect? Emily was momentarily stunned, and her face twisted into an ugly expression. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm just like you?"A smile played at the corners of Jane's lips. "Looks like you're still a little naive.""What do you mean?" Emily felt belittled."Oh, nothing. Just that you don't understand much, so it's better to leave adult matters to the adults," Jane replied.Emily was furious. How dare this woman call her naive and treat her like a child!"If you try to stop me again, Damien won't be able to find me for a while. You wouldn't want to make him angry, would you?" Jane said innocently.Emily seethed with anger, but she didn't want to upset Damien."Just you wait!" she spat before storming off.Jane watched her go and couldn't help but smile. It felt good to act tough sometimes.When she returned to the private room, Damien's friends looked at her with admiration.Jane was confused. What had she done to deserve their admiration?"
At the moment, Emily approached and inquired, "Where do we go to have fun now?"Felix regarded her with suspicion and replied, "Didn't you just leave?"Emily let out a soft scoff, "Do you plan to stay and face Damien's reprimand? Damien is the same; he didn't show me any regard for an outsider."Seth and the rest appeared solemn, indicating that the girl hasn't learned her lesson yet.Bernard uttered a helpless sigh, "The next time you encounter Jane, be more courteous. After all, she belongs to Damien. Today, Damien is genuinely angry."Emily didn't imagine that Damien would punish her for a woman.However, she has always been compliant before Bernard, and she nodded right away, "I understand.""Let's go. I'll drop you off at home.""Okay."At that moment, Jane and Damien had already boarded the car.Inside the car, Jane began to challenge Damien, "Didn't you agree to pretend that we don't know each other?""You only told me to pretend that I don't know you, not the other way around.
Jane emerged from the shower and lay on the bed, suddenly recollecting how Seth had asked her to prepare a song.After pondering over it, she contacted Piper.Piper's lively voice answered the phone, "Hey girl.""It's quite late, I hope I didn't disturb you and your partner.""No, not at all. Tell me, what can I do for you?""I have progressed in the "Voice of Dreams" program, and I want to select one of your songs."The only songs she felt comfortable singing were those by Piper and Anderson."That's not a problem. We can discuss it when you perform. I'm not too busy these days, so I can give you some guidance.""In a week or two.""Okay, then I'll make plans to meet up with you."Jane sensed that Piper was about to hang up the phone and quickly said, "Piper, I have a private question.""Sure, go ahead."Jane hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a friend who is going through a difficult time lately. Whenever she talks to a boy, she gets teased, her face turns red, and her heart b
