For a perfect collaboration and well-maintained business conduct and introduction, Caleb's father assigned Caleb the responsibility of introducing Jade to their line of business and showing her the company's achievements, workings, certain things, etc. However, it turns out Jade was simply uninterested in what she was there for, and all she knew how to do was run around all day. This minute she's taking him to the cinema to watch movies, the next minute she's taking him to a spa, the next one she's taking him to a salon to get her hair done, the next one a beauty salon, then to a famous limited edition mall for her clothes, etc. If Jade had known she was only interested in playing around, she shouldn't have invited him. He was trying to prepare his part with Hayden, and his time was running out, yet it turns out she would always end up squandering his time by doing nothing useful. If he knew she was this wastrel type of person, no matter how talented she is or how interesting their
Sean suddenly stretched his hand out, and a bodyguard dropped a clean apple in Sean's hand, immediately. David and Jude shook their heads, while Zenos glanced at him briefly.“I'm afraid that—one day—you'll be the first to be diagnosed as having too much fruit illness, you fruit addict…” Sean took a mouthful, swallowed the bite, and he immediately opened his mouth to bicker with the trio, who were always mocking his fruit-eating habit. “At least mine is still…”Sean paused, his eyes suddenly sparkled with an enigmatic glimmer, and the retort words that were about to be uttered were all forgotten, completely.“Eh!” Sean suddenly exclaimed and grinned slyly. He extended his empty hand and placed his hand on Zenos's shoulder. “Zenos, I saw that message; that beautiful secretary really has something for you. Dare to tell me it's a lie now?” Sean teased while grinning slyly, which made everyone's lips twitch, but they soon turned toward Zenos curiously. 'When did you have someone new? H
“You still like him?” Sean stopped laughing, and they all turned to look at Zenos. After all, Sean is just interested in interesting dramas. Besides, when he (S) looks at Zenos, he (Z) doesn't look like someone interested in Hayden anymore, so that possessiveness is what Sean doesn't understand.“None of your business.” Zenos shut them up while sounding irritated without even knowing the reason why he felt irritated in the first place; with that, he walked out of the room.“When he's like this. I'm afraid no one knows what Zenos is thinking.” Jude said a few minutes later with a profound and mysterious look, which made David and Sean nod in agreement.“Do you think he still likes him?” Jude kept silent for a few minutes and shook his head. “I don't know. Maybe? It lies in that boy's actions.”____“Zenos.”“You don't need to get involved with a stranger. He's already muddled, thinking of me as someone else. This kind of person, you can't be sure of what they'd do to you next. Let's
BANG!Michael lurched forward, and the impact caused his neck to hunch forward. He hissed in anguish due to the painful impact of another person's car suddenly crashing into his—from the posterior.He hissed once more; gently massaging his now-painful neck, he stepped out of the car swearing, in contrast to his nonchalant or gentle image.Michael was furious; how could this driver suddenly hit his car when Michael was driving at the usual speed? Besides, the road was not even crowded with cars, is the driver blind? Michael was mad and overcome by his rage. He was furious, he had a tight-lipped smile, veins throbbed in his neck and his fist was clenched! One sentence: the driver was dead once Michael got his hands on him!“Damn, that person!” Did he forget that he was on the road driving? How dare he drive so recklessly? What if it were someone else? What if it was a pregnant woman who was in the car the driver had collided with? The gentle doctor doesn't even want to contemplate
Hayden immediately glared at his friends, and it made all of them keep quiet. Hayden harrumphed proudly, then returned to typing something on his phone. After a cold battle with him, his friends were suddenly enthusiastic and f***** suspiciously caring that evening. And Hayden had promised himself that he wasn't going to succumb easily! Never! Not after all the cold shoulders he had gotten from the six.“Hayden, would you be busy tonight?” Philips asked again, but Hayden refused to reply, just like they had all done to him in the past couple of days.“Hayden, do you still have anything to do in your gallery?” Simon asked. “Or, do you have time to watch the latest blockbuster movie in my room? Action banger pow pow pow!!!” Craig said, using his hand to imitate a shooting gun while saying the 'pow'.“I met a hot, sexy girl last night; she should be your type…” Four eyes immediately glared at Mason, which made him keep his mouth shut; the eyes belonged to Hayden and Mia. “I was just j
“I'm big now, dad,” Hayden answered while smiling happily, which made his parents reply with a chuckle. “But mom, dad, is everything fine?” Hayden asked, sounding worried.And his parents could hear the worries in his tone. “Of course, darling. Why did you ask?” Zenni queried.“It's just that Mom and Dad never called me at this time, and it got me worried,” Hayden replied honestly.“You were sleeping…” Ethan asked again, with a knowing and a hint of disapproval in his voice—disapproval of Hayden's lies.Hayden bowed his head, upon realizing that his parents knew about his lies, and he couldn't help but say the truth. “Yes, I was sleeping earlier. Mom and Dad, I'm sorry for lying.” He said while sounding apologetic.“It's okay. Just don't try it next time. Always tell us the truth. Okay?”“Yes, mom.” He said, and the voice fell silent, but Hayden knew his parents were still listening to his explanation.“I'm curious about why mom and dad are calling me in the middle of the night, so it
“I had to use those, you know.” He was constantly on my mind. “I can't sleep; I can't eat. I'm being eaten by guilt also, continuously, that I had to switch everything to vitamins for you not to notice, and when I couldn't sleep, I…”“Hayden!” Ethan was surprised by all his son had just said that he couldn't help interrupting with a harsh tone. He was angry! More annoyed at himself for what the boy had been secretly passing through for 3 months and how he knew nothing about it. He couldn't help it as the volume of his voice increased. “How can you hold those pains in for so long? What are we there for…”“Darling…” Zenni interjected while comforting Ethan by rubbing his lower back. “He's already facing a lot… Be calm.” She told Ethan, so he wouldn't mistakenly scare Hayden, and he nodded at her words, seeing that he had mistakenly lost his composure.“I'm sorry.” He said to Hayden. “Do we need to be there?” He asked the boy gently.Hayden bit his lower lips and shook his head in refusa
“Don't remind me about him; just don't spoil my mood tonight.” Andy snorted, and with that, Hayden knew his little friend had been annoyed by Levi again, but he decided not to ask since Andy doesn't seem to be interested in talking. “Did you hear from that person?” Andy suddenly asked. Hayden's mood fell a little as he recalled Zenos' coldness that afternoon. Even though he had seen Zenos, that didn't mean he had heard from him, which made Hayden reply with, “No. Not yet… Why?”“The school had an anonymous investor who invested a large sum in the school. He even donated and built more expensive labs, a library, a garden, and an art class. That was a few days after you left, but before that, I saw him come to the school, which made me know it was him. But he was cold and unwilling to be talked to. Trying to get close to him equals getting into a fist discussion with one of his burly guards…” Andy explained. Hayden was shocked upon hearing that Zenos went to Hotchville after he left
