Tamara snapped back to her senses. She got her phone out to type a response in order to answer Ms. Thompson’s query, but when she lifted her head, she noticed that Sebastian was making his way back.“If you dare tell anyone about what just happened, I’ll make sure you regret it!”Sebastian warned as he said through gritted teeth. He glared at her one last time before turning his heel to leave.Tamara was rendered speechless.Ms. Thompson witnessed everything from the side. The initial shock on her face gave way to a small smile.“Gosh, it seems like you’ve been getting on with Young Mr. Lynch rather well recently,” Ms. Thompson said with a smile. She recalled Sebastian's extremely short time with Tamara when she first moved in.However, after living under the same roof for some time, the housekeeper could see that Sebastian had changed his view of Tamara.It was good news.The corners of Tamara’s lips twitched, but she gave Ms. Thompson a proper smile.It was absurd that the h
” Weren’t you thinking about switching to another streaming platform? I’ve got my eye on this one. It’s developed by a new company, so it needs to get its name out. That’s why they set up a gaming competition. First place gets five million dollars!” Margot explained enthusiastically as she showed Tamara five of her fingers for emphasis.Tamara was stunned for a moment. Then, she signed: “Five million dollars? That company must be bathing in fortune if that’s the case.”“That’s what I thought! You have really awesome gaming skills, don’t you? It’ll be a piece of cake for you to bag first place! Come on, why don’t you try competing? I even have all your details filled out on the application form already,” Margot said with a grin.Tamara shot her a weak smile. “Since you’ve filled everything out, I shouldn’t waste all your efforts by refusing, should I?”“That’s the spirit! I’ll get the form submitted right away! You’ll have to prepare soon,” Margot replied excitedly, then hung up the
Tamara was rendered speechless.The man was honestly pushing it.However, when she saw how brightly Jerome was smiling at her, she quickly realized that the man would not take the lunchbox from her no matter what.Tamara let out a soft sigh before making her way to the elevators.Once she reached the top floor, the monochrome CEO's office came into view. The cool color tones exuded an air of abstinence.Tamara walked up to Sebastian and placed the lunchbox on his desk. Then, she typed: “Here’s your food. I’m leaving.”After Sebastian finished reading the text, Tamara spun on her heel to leave.“Hold on,” Sebastian said suddenly, his voice low and magnetizing.Tamara turned to look at him in puzzlement.“Did I give you permission to leave?”Tamara was a little taken aback. She raised an eyebrow at Sebastian, then quickly typed on her phone: “I have legs, don’t I? If I wish to leave, what could possibly stop me? You really think you’re all that, don’t you? Why are you so contro
Sebastian was completely nude. Having slept next to Tamara, he was startled awake when she pushed his arm away.Tamara hurriedly typed on her phone: “How did I get on the bed?”“Shouldn’t you be?” Sebastian rebutted with a dark expression on his face.Tamara was rendered speechless.She tried to get off the bed quickly. Once she managed to get her bearings, she realized that Sebastian must’ve carried her onto the bed.She scratched at her head in frustration. How could this have happened?Tamara had slept on the sofa on purpose. Couldn’t this man get a hint?Doing her best to rein in her temper, Tamara typed: “Sebastian Lynch, all I wanted was to sleep in peace.”After sweeping his gaze over the text, Sebastian chuckled. “So you’re saying that my presence disrupts your peace?”Tamara was about to nod, but when she noticed how coldly the man was glaring at her, she found that her fingers had paused from typing.Sebastian was pissed. No woman had ever regarded him as nothing bu
Tamara avoided Coral seamlessly, gazing coldly at the woman.Prior to this, Coral and Quentin had done everything they could to get the five million dollars from her. She could still remember every horrible thing they did and all the cruel words they said to her.Tamara had been kind enough to show up at the Simmons’ residence.Coral let out an embarrassed smile. “Tammy, I’m delighted that you could make it! I’d like to sincerely apologize for everything that has happened beforehand. We were honestly at our wit’s end, and your brother has paid the price for his actions, hasn’t he? Can’t you just forgive him?”Tamara’s expression was cold. The emotions in her clear eyes that glimmered like crystals were indiscernible. “I’m sure that won’t be the last time. I’m willing to bet that you’ll both be demanding me to get you guys another five million soon. Are you guys going to threaten me again?”Coral shook her head hastily. “No, of course not! Your brother has already quit gambling.”
Nightfall. In the Simmons’ residence.White tables and chairs were placed in the courtyard, and the venue's lighting was gorgeous. All the colors seemed to blend beautifully together.Everyone was dressed their best, and the atmosphere was lively.Tamara had taken a nap. When she came out of her room, she was met with the sight of Quentin in a black suit. Coral was wearing a white party dress and had linked an arm around Quentin’s as she spoke to someone.“Miss Simmons, you’re up! Are you hungry?” The housekeeper asked upon seeing Tamara.Tamara shook her head, indicating that she wasn’t.The housekeeper insisted, “You should eat a little, at least. You’re pregnant, after all. Your body might not be able to take it.”After saying that, she brought out some dessert. It was Tamara’s favorite – strawberry pudding.When Tamara was offered it, she did not refuse. She accepted the pudding and began to eat it.On the other hand, Coral had just noticed Tamara’s presence. With a glint
Coral’s expression darkened at that.Margot retracted her gaze and turned towards Tamara. With a happy grin, she asked, “Tammy, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming by? I only found out that you were here after hearing other people talk about you, you know?”Tamara blinked at her, then signed her query, “I was just about to ask you. What are you doing here?”Margot tugged her towards the sofa and said, “If I didn’t come, you would’ve gotten bullied by everyone! Do you not know how much it hurts me to see you get bullied?”Tamara signed helplessly, “Honestly, that’s so cheesy of you.”Margot giggled. She looked the complete opposite of the girl boss persona she had put on just moments before. Whenever Margot was with Tamara, she always turned more coy and girly.After Margot had a harsh word with everyone, it seemed that no one dared to talk smack about Tamara anymore.Coral and Quentin exchanged looks with each other. Quentin gestured for Coral to calm herself down.All
Quentin’s face darkened at the dig. “I’m not going to waste any time listening to your nonsense. You’d better leave right now. The Simmons family no longer welcomes you!”After that was said, the bodyguards rushed towards Margot and forced her out the door.Both of Margot’s hands had formed tight fists from anger. However, she was no match to the handful of bodyguards carting her away.She could only watch as the front door to the Simmons’ residence closed before her. She hurriedly called someone on her phone.At this time, a long line of luxurious cars made their way to the residence. They stopped right in front of the Simmons’ residence’s front door.The car on the far end was a limited edition Bugatti Veyron. The body of the car seemed to emit an imposing aura, and its lines were easy on the eyes, showing off its distinguished status.A bodyguard pulled open the car door respectfully. A tall figure got out of the car.The man was in a black tailored suit, which ironing had be
