"What answer?" I asked.Marius faced me, his expression extremely somber. “You keep apologizing for not telling me about the blind date in advance, but that’s not what I’m really angry about. I didn’t expect you to still not understand my heart after so long.”His words were heavy like lead, and they left me a little breathless. My face twisted into a frown as an indescribable emotion rushed to my heart. "I..." I was at a loss for how to respond to him.His smile was like the spring breeze, and it gradually soothed my heartbeat. "I’ve expressed my liking for you. You rejected me, but I’m very happy that you’re able to accept me as a friend. I feel the happiest when I get to accompany you as your friend. I thought you’d be able to understand this after what happened last time. I didn’t expect you to still be unaware.”Marius was referring to when I had distanced myself from him the last time.My throat bobbed. All I could say now was that I was sorry."I'm sorry. I didn't think i

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Nina and Jason's wedding.They chose a hotel with very elegant decor, and the hall was decorated very dreamily. It was the wedding Nina had wanted ever since she was a child.I grabbed Theo's hand as we arrived at the scene. Our name cards had been specially arranged on the tables. I saw our names and pulled Theo over to our seats. Shannon and Marius had already arrived and were in their seats and waving to us."Jordan isn't back yet?" Theo asked as soon as he sat down.The corner of Shannon's smiling mouth twitched, and she replied in a less than pleasant tone, "No, he isn't. He's still busy and can't come back. Besides, he doesn't know Nina, and it just so happens that Marius and I can be each other's partners."Hearing this, Marius hurriedly said, "I was forced. I had a companion at first." He met Theo's gaze, mouth forming a smile. "Long time no see, President Grant.""Yes, it's been a long time. I heard from Wanda that you've been help

Back at my seat, Nina and Jason went around making a toast at each table. I could not help my hands tightening around the folder when I saw Nina’s smiling face.Theo noticed something off with me. He touched me before whispering into my ear, "What's wrong? You said you were going backstage to take a look, but Nina came back a long time ago while you only just did. What’s this folder?”Looking down at it, my heart trembled. "I’ll tell you when we go back." I shifted my gaze to Nina again. These photos could not be leaked out.Nina and Jason finally came to our table. "Wanda, Jason and I are so grateful to you.”"Congratulations, you two."They were so happy now. I could not bring myself to imagine what Nina’s face would be like if what happened in the mountains were exposed.Caroline may be kind, but she was also conservative. If she knew Nina had had an abortion… I dared not think about it.I had to guard this incident no matter what.My mind was absent till the end of the wed

"Counterfeits of Golden-O Face Cream have recently been found, and they’ve caused discomfort to consumers' faces. The current situation remains unclear. No relevant feedback has been given by either Grant Corporation or Pristine Group. Hence, we shall continue our reports here.”The day before Theo returned, news of Golden-O Face Cream counterfeits took the internet by storm.Closing the report, I rubbed my temples. Neil was sitting across from me. Similarly, he was also troubled by this."How can there be counterfeits?” Neil scratched his head. He was unable to come up with an answer even after a long time.I frowned. "We produce Golden-O in our own factory, and it’s controlled by the EUR team. How could there be issues? Where did these counterfeits come from?”"No, there was a time in the middle when you returned to Green Orange. In order to expand production volume and avoid short supply, Mr. Nibel and President Grant talked about looking for an outsourcing factory for joint de

"Why didn’t you let me tell Nibel that we already had a solution?”I asked Theo after Nibel left.Could he still have his guard against Nibel?Theo looked in the direction Nibel had just left and did not seem to have heard my question."Theo?" I called out to him again.That pulled his mind back. He then looked at me. "What?”"I was asking you why didn't you let me tell Nibel that we already have a solution?”Theo lowered his gaze and said in a deep voice, "To surprise him." He finished that with a smile.As if I believed him.I wanted to ask again, but seeing that it was almost time, I had to stop. "I'm going back to Green Orange to deal with some things first. I'll interrogate you properly when I get home tonight.”"Be careful on your way.”If it were not for my trust in Theo, I would have released the clarification script a long time ago and false news about Grant Corporation would not be out there spreading around until now.Green Orange.The moment I stepped through t
