"Is it true?" Louise looked at her incredulously. Lately, it seemed as if Lizzie was hiding something. She seemed preoccupied and Louise had attributed it to her juggling both school and part-time work. However, she was losing too much weight for comfort."Of course, it's true!" Lizzie nodded vigorously, "Don't you believe me? It's true!," she reiterated."Alright, I believe you. I do." Louise responded, shaking her head in resignation.Lizzie gave a small smile, "Lou, this dress is too big, and it's not suitable for me. I'll change out of it right now.""Wait a moment!" Louise grabbed her arm and beckoned the store manager over."Miss Lin, how may I assist you?" The manager approached quickly.Louise gestured at the dress, "Can you alter this part a bit? And this side as well. The length is spot on though."Lizzie looked at Louise as she instructed the store manager, puzzled, "Lou, I don't need to wear such an extravagant dress. Plus, it's too expensive. I have no occasion for an eve

"Is that so?" Louise tilted her head in disbelief, "Could the salary of the CEO's assistant at Leng Corporation really be that high? Affording such expenditures? That must be the corporation many students wish to work for after graduation." Her knowledge was based on occasional overhearings from the restaurant near the academy, where she witnessed the eager faces of her peers from the business school."Hannah, aren't you overthinking this?" Lizzie wasn't bothered by these thoughts since they didn't concern her."I'm not overthinking. You know it's not uncommon for companies to have their unwritten rules," said Louise with a serious tone. Lizzie didn't ponder about it much; she just wanted to prevent Louise from overthinking, lest she kept asking questions.Seeing Lizzie's indifference, Louise assumed she was overthinking. They left the shopping mall, settling in a cozy cafe, with two cups of cappuccinos before them. The fusion of Italian intense coffee and frothy milk was bittersweet,

Louise was driving Lizzie home to her villa. "Louise, thank you for taking me home.""Lizzie, listen, ever since you got married, I feel like you've been distancing yourself from me. Always thanking me for this and that. Aren't we best friends?" Louise said, shaking her head in exasperation."Alright, alright, I understand. I'll try not to act too formal around you." Lizzie responded, giving Louise a smile.Louise finally nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it. Now, go on home. I'll be heading back.""Okay, drive safe." Lizzie waved as Louise's car faded into the distance. Afterwards, she rang the doorbell.The butler opened the door. "Miss, you're back. The young master just returned home not too long ago."Lizzie paused for a moment at the news. So he was back.In the living room, Bruno was sitting on the couch, looking as if he'd been waiting for her. Seeing him, Lizzie said, "Oh, you're back." and gave him a slight smile.She had thought he wouldn't be home that day. It was
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 101: It's Okay, I Won't Die
Bruno barely glanced at Flora before turning around and walking out of the hall arm in arm with Lizzie. Flora turned her head only to see Yelun glaring at her, "Why are you looking at me like that?""Cut it out, Flora. If you say anything about outsiders in front of Bruno again, you can leave first!" Yelun turned away and sat down on the couch."What? You want me to leave?" Flora challenged Yelun, "Now that you have a son, you want to kick my daughter and me out? Without my approval, could you have brought back that illegitimate child? I've suffered so much, when have you ever been kind to me? You are a heartless man!" She accused.Yelun stared at Flora standing beside him, "Enough! What do you want that I haven't given you? We're all grown-ups, there's no need for such drama, it just makes us the laughing stock of the servants."Flora wiped away her tears and sat next to him, "Then let Victoria return to the country!" This was her ultimate goal."I told you, I'll arrange it. When it'

Bruno lay down on the bed, tightly closed his eyes, unmoving. One could even say he had no energy left to move.Lizzie looked at Bruno, seeing him in such a fragile state, something she had never seen before. He looked so vulnerable, it broke her heart.She bent down and took off his shoes, then stood up to look at his still-worn suit jacket and shirt. He must be uncomfortable like this, right?She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take off his suit. "Bruno, Bruno, can you move a little?" But Bruno on the bed remained motionless.Lizzie had to muster all her strength to forcefully remove his suit jacket and shirt. What about his pants?He had a fever now, she had to change him into pajamas! After several seconds of hesitation, she mustered up the courage. After all, he wasn't conscious right now, and she could deny it when he woke up.Trembling hands undid the belt buckle of his trousers. Her small hands, already cold, became even colder. It took great effor
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 103: She was forced, she had no choice
"No!" Lizzie shook her head, denying the implications. Fall in love with him? How was that even possible? Even if all the men in the world went extinct, she would never fall in love with him."No? You don't care about me? Or you haven't fallen for me?" Bruno smirked, "Why are you so eager to deny it?"Lizzie froze, "Stop joking around. If you want to sulk, go ahead, I'd prefer it if you fell ill." She had pitied him being sick, but it wasn't exclusive to him. She would do the same for anyone who fell ill.Normally, Bruno would be fuming, but today he simply smiled, "If I die, won't you become a widow? Besides, could you bear to see me gone?""What does your life or death have to do with me?" Lizzie turned away, avoiding his gaze. Why was he acting this way? His smile seemed warmer, unlike his usual cold demeanor.This must be her misperception, it must be because Bruno was sick that he gave her such an illusion."If it doesn't concern you, then why the worried look?" Hypocritical woma
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 104: His Indifference
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Lizzie stirred, feeling weak all over. She reached for her robe, barely had it on when Bruno emerged from the bathroom. He glanced at her casually before heading towards the door. As the apartment door opened, Adeline stood in the doorway."Adeline, what brings you here?" Bruno asked, surprised."Bruno, did you forget? You called me two days ago and said you'd be back last night. I've been waiting. But you didn't show up, so I brought the suit you'll need for tonight over." Adeline looked at him, his bare upper body wrapped only in a towel, his thick short hair still dripping wet. She didn’t need much to figure out what happened here.However, she couldn't voice her thoughts, neither could she object. All she could do was bury her anger and displeasure deep within her heart. Bruno nodded, "Come in." Perhaps due to the shower, his head was clearer, and his voice wasn't as hoarse as when he first woke up.This was the first time Adeline had stepped into his
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 105: Why does she demean herself this way?
Seated before the vanity, Lizzie stared at her reflection. Her visage was haggard; her skin, pale, and dark circles stamped beneath her eyes. She had spent an entire night looking after him, only to be greeted with this sight. Why was she debasing herself like this?She reached out to touch her face. If she were to appear before Louise like this, she would undoubtedly be bombarded with questions. So, she sat quietly, thinking of nothing and unwilling to move. It wasn't until her stomach rumbled protestingly, that she realized she was hungry. Her stomach was indeed protesting.Rising, Lizzie made her way to the kitchen. She looked at the porridge - her painstakingly made porridge - that he had dismissed. The sight of the warm porridge, still sending up wisps of steam, brought tears to her eyes. Weeping openly, she huddled next to the kitchen cabinet.A cool, wet sensation on her feet startled her. Lizzie looked down through teary eyes to see Poochie sitting by her feet. She picked the
