Abby Williams is a girl with high self-esteem. The pictures she posted in the college Facebook group were of course to target me, but today I made her feel shame in front of everyone. The moment I saw her shiver down her spine, I felt extremely ecstatic.

My phone rang suddenly. Surprisingly, it was Smith.

"Can you drive? Come downstairs and pick me."

I was stunned by his shark voice. What happened to him?

I turned and left immediately, worrying about him. Was he drunk?

Downstairs, the gorgeous Bentley stood luminously by the road, and Smith was smoking.

"Oh my God. It's a Bentley limited!" Abby Williams and others, who followed me downstairs, stared at us with eyes full of envy.

Mr. Smith walked toward me and cradled me in his long and warm arm.

"Who just said that no one wanted Alexia? This man is handsome and rich, far better than Johnny Evans." The crowd mummers that Abby Williams's face turned dark.

She clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. 'Alexia Brown, I really won't let you have a good life.'

After driving for more than ten minutes, I asked Smith, "Mr. Smith, where do you live?"

Smith didn't respond. I turned my head, and noticed that his eyes were closed, and he is breathing evenly. He seemed to be asleep.

I called Warren Wilson, but no one answered back.

I wanted to send him to the hotel, but he couldn't check in without an identity proof.

I suspected that he was pretending to be asleep, but I couldn't wake him up and dare not offend him. What's more, he helped me before. So, I should not leave him alone.

So, I could only take him back to my house.

I hurriedly dragged him to my room he was too heavy but I'm strong for sure, I let him lay not daring to change his clothes. I covered him with a quilt and went to another room to sleep with Anni, but she didn't come back yet.

My mother called suddenly, "Hey, daughter, what do you think of Jack Williams."

"Fortunately, he is 35 years old, I think he is too old." Every time my mother and I talked about blind dates, my head would hurt.

"You are 26, and he has a very good impression of you. You can continue this relationship. Mom is waiting for your good news." Mom hung up the phone happily. I was playing with the wallet that Smith just dropped out. Although it wasn't very polite to look at other people's wallets, I opened it out of curiosity and found that there is a photo inside...

"What are you doing!" Smith suddenly stood in front of me

I quickly closed his wallet and hid it in my pocket.

"I am getting something to drink." I darted to the kitchen and poured him a glass of water.

"Is he 35 years old?"

"Ah." He heard our conversation.

"If you don't mind, please go back to sleep in my room. Good night." I quickly ran away from the living room.

Breakfast.

Smith, who was obsessed with extreme cleanliness, rejected my suggestion to buy him Starbucks and asked me to cook for him.

I made a sandwich for him,

He grabbed it and finished in one go, then picked up mine too.

He let out a hiccup, and then stood up, disappearing from my eyesight. That's when Anni came back.

She excitedly told me she met an extremely handsome guy in the elevator.

I knew she was talking about Smith.

"Anni, why did you just come back only now?" I changed the subject.

"You know what happened? My parents arranged a blind date, and then I stayed the whole night with him in the hotel." Anni looked unhappy.

"It is really enough. Yesterday they asked me to be engaged to him at the dinner table just because the boy is rich. We only met for the first time! And they dislike my ex-boyfriend, who is poor and forced us to break up. Now, even my marriage has to be controlled by them. It's too painful! I really want to die." Anni's words shocked me.

"Anni, please don't be like that. It is your marriage. You really can't let them decide!" Marriage isn't a game.

You really have to make your own decision.

"Yes, I told them that if they push me again, I will cut off relations with them, and I will no longer be their ATM machine." Anni said in a determined tone.

"I will go to my hometown to see my mother later and see if there is a solution." I was a little worried that Anni would be alone here, but I hadn't been home for a long time. I had already set my plan a few days ago. I missed my mother very much. So, I packed my bags and left for home the same day.

When I arrived home, that happens to be lunch time.

My mother was injured from an accident. So, I had to cook for her.

"Alexia, your cooking skills are so good. Your husband must be very happy in the future." Mom exclaimed.

"Hurry up and find a boyfriend. Until then mom will be rest assured." Mom really successfully made me feel even more burdened.

"Mom, marriage is not something like going to the supermarket. Don't push me please. I'll just wait for the right person!" How I wished there could be such a person. So that my mother would never nag again.

After dinner, my mother talked about my love life again.

"Jack Williams is a good boy. Can you two be together?" Mom's tone was very urgent,

"Mom, we haven't known each other yet. It really takes time." I didn't want my mother to be angry.

"Mom is really worried about you. My daughter is so good-looking. When will she be married?" Mom patted my hand and heaved a sign. "Oh, darling, I will become a burden for you. You have been unhappy ever since the accident. "

"Mom, what are you talking about? I am very happy!" I felt very distressed when I heard my mother.

"Mom. Actually, Dad called me last week. He..." Although it wasn't good to mention Dad at the moment, I still wanted my mother to accept Dad's money and do the operation with less pain.

"Why did he come to you? He wants you to persuade me to sign a divorce agreement! The hell with him! Do you regret choosing me instead of your rich dad!" Mom was very emotional.

"Mom, please stay calm. You hate Dad so much. Why don't you get divorced? If you are divorced, you will be free and happy." I really couldn't understand my mother's thoughts, and I hated those who intervened in our family. I hated my father too, but I couldn't do anything! My mother was so hurt. Why did she still have to contact a person like him?!

My mother gave me a slap, and I was shocked. "You go! Cough..." Mom let out a heavy breath. I was so scared that I let my mother and laid her down, taking out the medicine. "Mom, I am wrong. If you are still angry, beat me!" I felt guilty making my mother so angry.

"Alexia, you go and rest. I'll take care of myself here." The nanny came, giving me some breathing time.

Only then I realized that my face was swollen.

"Would you like to watch a movie tonight?" It is a text message from Jack Williams. In fact, I wanted to refuse, but when I thought of my mother's tears, I agreed. "I'll go back this afternoon and see you in the evening."

After sending the text message, a phone call came in, and I answered without seeing who it was.

"Where are you? There is a banquet in the evening, and you will be my female companion." It was Smith. I was confused. Attending the banquet with him?

"I'm in my hometown and can't go." I prayed that Smith would not want me to be his female companion.

"I'm nearby too. Don't worry. I'll pick you up then we will head back together!" Without letting me refuse, he hung up the phone. But when I looked at the swollen face in the mirror, I really wanted to refuse. Looking at my mother's state, I really couldn't be willful. I would have to be patient.

I sent him the address. Maybe he would give up after seeing my face. I didn't send him the correct home address.

After kissing my mother goodbye, I walked to the address.

I called my grandpa and told him that I would visit him next time. I also sent a text message to Jack Williams and refused the movie date tonight.

Soon, Smith's car came, and when I got in the car, he stared at my face. "What's wrong with your face."

"I fell." I didn't want to tell the truth.

"Have you been beaten?" Smith asked directly.

I told him what really happened.

"Ah? What?" I didn't react, looking at him stupidly.

"Beaten by your mom?" Smith stared at me.

I didn't know how to answer and remain silent for a while.

Jack Williams called suddenly, but in Smith's car, I didn't want to answer it.

"Pick up the phone. Why don't you answer it?" He also noticed the call. Wait, he was right. Why should I care about him?

"Hey." I answered, Jack Williams didn't ask me why I suddenly refused his appointment, which made me feel good about him. "Just want to ask if you have time tomorrow."

"I have time during the day and have to work at night." I wanted to say that I would be free all day, but I remembered that I would go part-time at night.

"Then I'll call you tomorrow." Jack Williams hung up happily.

After the call, I felt that the atmosphere in the car was strange, and I found that Smith seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Mr. Smith, my face is swollen, and I should not be able to go to the banquet with you." I reminded Smith. I hoped he wouldn't take me to the banquet, or he would be ashamed.

"You can participate, take this." He hands out a salve, and I felt better.

"God, this ointment is effective! My face is not hot anymore." I was so surprised to see that this ointment is really very useful. I felt a lot more comfortable. "It is from one of my friends. If you want it, I will get some for you." did he mean I have to have one for more slaps from my mother?

At the traffic light, he suddenly stretched his arms around me as he put his hands around my waist, rubbing his hand against my skin. My heart suddenly started beating faster.

"You are not blushing today." He was close, so close that I could feel his breath. I held my breath and closed my eyes not wanting to accept the fact that he was sitting so close. Suddenly, I felt a small touch brushing against my cheek and then that touch went down toward my neck as his breath trickled the area.

My heartbeat was so fast that even the galloping of the horses would sound slower.

"Mr. Smith, the green light!" I suddenly squealed when I saw the light turning green. I really wanted to thank the heavens for saving me at this moment.

When he pulled off at a building, he led me upstairs directly to a Franchised cloths store.

He greeted one of the girls familiarly and asked her to find me some clothes matching his.

"You are the first girl he ever brought here!" The designer told me in surprise. I could only smile.

In the end, I picked up a blue fishtail dress that showed off my figure very clearly. It is very beautiful, sparkling in the eyes of the people who would see it for the first time.

"Oh my God, this dress is completely tailored for you! Go, show it to Smith!" The designer was even more anxious than I was!

"Hey, wait! This is too exposed!" I lifted my skirt and looked at the deep cleavage in the mirror. I was very embarrassed.

Jeans and T-shirts were usually my favorite clothes. I had never worn such a beautiful but exposing dress. You could tell the uneasiness at my heart just by looking at my expression.

They push me to Smith's front.

Smith didn't say anything, but his eyes didn't tear away from me for even a second. He clearly was very mesmerized.

"Change it." Smith took a sip of the wine glass he was holding in his hand.

I was a little surprised. Didn't I look good in it? Why did he want me to change?

He pointed at a blue one.

I quickly changed it. He really had a good taste. The new dress was not a slightest exposed, but very elegant, showing the perfect curve of my body, I could feel Smith's hot gaze on me.

"Put this on." Smith took out a diamond necklace. His sharp eyes bore into mine, staring deeply at me.

"Mr. Smith, this is too expensive. I cannot take it." The necklace seemed so expensive, I might not be able to relax all night for taking such a priceless gift. How would I pay for that?

"You should wear it unless you want to embarrass me!" Smith's tone was so commanding that I had no reason to refuse.

"God, isn't this the Sky Mermaid that was auctioned at an astronautic number?!" The designer couldn't help but exclaim and put it on for me. She whispered in my ears, "Sweetie, take my word. Smith must have fallen for you. This is an extremely expensive gift!"

"Shut up and give her makeup." Smith scolded the designer coldly. Then swirled the drinks in his hand.

"Yes, sir."

The designer seemed to be Smith's friend. She didn't blush at his commanding tone.

"Heavy makeup doesn't fit you. You have a good face. So, a simple makeup should be enough for you."

The designer is really amazing. In her hands, I seemed to have become another person coming from a wealthy family. If I were a man, I would fall for myself.

"Send the bill to my assistant. Let's go." Smith smirked, reaching out to grab my hand.

But I intentionally escaped, after all, he is my boss.

He was a little displeased, he still opened the car door for me very gentlemanly.

The car dropped us at Beverly Hills, which is a well-known wealthy District.

After arriving here, I suddenly understood why Smith insisted that I needed to dress up.

Although my dad and I attended such events before, it was many years ago. I was still very nervous.

"Are you nervous? Don't be afraid and follow me." Smith noticed my nervousness and comforted me intimately.

After entering the villa, a servant led the way. Suddenly, Smith stopped.

I looked up and saw him bending his arm as he stared at me.

I hesitated for a moment, but finally hooked my arms with his.

"Mr. Smith, welcome." Smith became the focus of the crowd as soon as he arrived. Everyone greeted him, but Smith just returned with a cold emotion. I was a little embarrassed because they would also notice me next to him. " Mr. Smith's companion is so beautiful." I couldn't be indifferent like him. So, I could only smile silently.

"Isn't this Sky Mermaid? It really matches this lady." I felt shy. But Smith seemed very happy to hear this, and he nodded to the speaker.

"She is not my companion, but my girlfriend!"

Then I was swarmed with various compliments. I really wanted to run away.

"I'm not his girlfriend..." Before I finished my rebuttal, I was feeling Smith was pinching me hard. What was he going to do? Did he want everyone to misunderstand our relationship?

"Mr. Bill Evans is here!"

I was surprised that the richest man could actually come? The Richest Group founded by Bill Evans was just like the name of the company. Richest! Its founder was also the most famous philanthropist. He organized today's party.

"Let's say hello to him." Smith led me to Mr. Bill Evans.

"Grandpa. How are you doing?" Smith calls Mr. Evans' Grandpa. Their relationship was really good. I watched their interaction like a nerd.

"It's been a long time since you came to see me, and my granddaughter has been talking about you many times." Standing next to Mr. Evans is a beautiful young girl. Hearing what his grandpa said, she looked up at Smith and blushed.

"Good evening, Mr. Smith." But when she saw me and Smith holding hands, her eyebrows quickly furrowed. I wanted to retract my hand from Smith's, but he held me even tighter.

"Miss Elsa, good evening." Smith replied politely.

"Are you Mr. Smith's girlfriend?" Elsa's tone wasn't very friendly.

"Smith even gave you a Sky Mermaid. You really have a weight in his heart. He rarely does that to a woman."

"Yes, it's rare."

I inadvertently noticed a girl standing next to Smith, and she exclaimed. "This girl is so beautiful!"

I could only smile, because I knew that if I would deny it again, my hand would hurt even more. And whether I was his girlfriend or not, this Miss Elsa already regarded me as an enemy. So, my denial will be meaningless. This life is too difficult. Mr. Evans definitely wanted Mr. Smith to be his Grandson-in-law. It was a pity. I could see that Mr. Smith doesn't like Miss Elsa.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Warren Wilson anthologized, but his late arrival didn't make Mr. Evans angry. They seem to be very familiar.

"Sister, let's go to eat together." Elsa warmly invited me to another place. I glanced at Smith, and after seeing Mr. Smith nodding, I went to the bar with Elsa.

"Sister, Mr. Smith is so kind to you. He even felt a little worried when I invited you here." Elsa's voice carried a hint of anxiety, and I could only feel anxiety. Today I became a smiling robot.

"Alexia, you are so beautiful today." Warren walked towards us with a wine glass.

"Am I not beautiful?" Elsa said to Warren coquettishly.

"You are beautiful too!" Warren smiled and brought me a glass of red wine.

"Don't worry, this alcohol is not strong."

"Don't listen to him, this wine will make you drunk." Elsa reminded me, but the taste of this wine is really good. I couldn't help but drink a lot.

"Sis, how did you know Mr. Smith?" I seemed to have drunk.

"We just met for a few days. He's, my boss."

"Then you are really not Mr. Smith's girlfriend, but how could he give you a Sky Mermaid?" Elsa didn't believe my words.

"I just borrowed it from him, and I will return it after the banquet." Elsa's smile widened even more. I also relaxed a lot. I hoped this little girl wouldn't bring me any trouble. I was just a small nobody.

"I'm going to get ready to dance." After that, Elsa carried her beautiful skirt and left.

"The before 9-year-old Elsa said that she is going to marry Mr. Smith when she grew up, and she hasn't given up until now. She is really persistent, but in my opinion, Smith has already liked someone." Warren seemed to be suggesting something.

"How come? Elsa is young and beautiful, and she has a good family cultivation." I knew what Warren wanted to say, but I wouldn't answer him directly.

"Oh, really. Don't regret it then." Warren kept staring at me, and I deliberately avoided his sight.

The party rolled out, and Smith walked up to me. I knew he wanted to invite me to dance, but this was the first dance tonight. I wanted him to dance with Elsa, because if I danced with him, Mr. Evans would be very angry.

"Smith, I am really sorry, I am not really in the mood......"

Before I could finish, he stubbornly put his hand in front of me.

"I haven't learned dancing. You can't teach me." Before Smith could speak, I figured out the answers to all his questions. So, he would definitely give up, but he still put his hand in front of me. Maybe a minute has passed. He finally retracted his hand. I finally relaxed seeing him like this. Although his mood suddenly changed, and the people around him were surprised that I would reject him. But, God, I really didn't want to cause trouble anymore.

Elsa was the happiest person at the party, because she finally was able to dance with Smith.

"Brother, are you angry? Miss Alexia said that you lent her the necklace." Elsa couldn't help but say bad things to Smith. When he heard this, Smith's dance steps stopped, and his face darkened.

"Brother, do you like Miss Alexia?" Elsa felt that Smith's attitude was strange.

"Yes." She didn't expect Smith to answer this question, which made Elsa jealous. She felt like she was going crazy.

She obviously knew Smith earlier than Alexia. Elsa was even young, beautiful, and the granddaughter of the richest man. She was a thousand times better than Alexia! Why did Smith dislike her!

The first dance was over.

Smith walked away from Elsa indifferently. Elsa stared at his back.

Suddenly, a trace of fear swarmed into her heart. She could feel after tonight, she would never get to see him again. She would lose him forever. Elsa clenched her fists and looked at Alexia. Her eyes were full of anger and jealousy.

On the other side, Warren, who witnessed Alexia's rejection of Smith, couldn't help gossiping after Smith left.

"What are you doing?" Warren felt a little weird,

"Alexia, you are the first person who refused him. You wouldn't know the expressions of those girls after seeing you reject him. Maybe they think you are stupid. Hahaha." Warren's words really made me angry. Why did he call me stupid? I took a few more sips.

"I didn't know how to dance. Dancing with Mr. Smith will just make everyone laugh at him. I rejected him for the good of everyone."

"Seriously, aren't you jealous of Smith dancing with others?" Warren was curious. If it were an ordinary girl, she wouldn't have refused Smith's invitation to dance.

"I am not jealous. Mr. Smith and I are just ordinary colleagues!" Tonight, I had heard enough gossip between Smith and me, and I am extremely exhausted.

WARREN 'S POV

It is too difficult to approach Alexia's heart, or maybe Alexia really didn't like Smith.

At first, I thought it was just a girl's shyness that made Alexia stay away from him.

But the fact seemed that Alexia really didn't feel anything for Calvin Smith.

Even after realizing and witnessing how rich Calvin is, she didn't show any interest to him. Some ladies are dreaming to be in her position. But even after being introduced as Calvin's girlfriend she still took the gut to deny it!

She's really a different kind of a woman, or I should say someone with integrity. Truly that there are still a lot of ladies who are not being stunned by wealth.

I really admire her because of this. Any man who wins her heart will be very lucky.

And if Calvin will, he shouldn't waste a woman like her!

I looked around and saw Calvin's face real upset. He was trying to be cool going on a dance with Elsa.

I don't know to him, Elsa is beautiful, she almost has everything but why doesn't Calvin want to give her a try?

Anyway, knowing what kind of a person my old friend is, he wouldn't appreciate arrange marriage or the like.

He has weird taste, so probably him not interested with Elsa is not a question for me.

Looking at Alexia, she seems really drunk. She might not have expected the wine to be traitor.

She tossed a lot a while ago, even refused to dance with Calvin. For sure she'll get boiled later!

I pity her, but looking at her kind of bravery, she will sure escape Calvin's wrath.

I just hope she knows what she's doing until the banquet is over.

At the other side of the place, Elsa's expression hasn't escaped my eyes. She was so disappointed trying to hied her emotions. But she has a fierce eye towards Alexia.

She must not make a scene here, knowing Alexia, she sure wouldn't let anything pass! Unless she is kind when drank, then that's another story to tell!

Sipping my wine here while observing the crowd I couldn't help but smile. Life is horrible so does people!

Not too far from my position, I can see Calvin approaching me.

He has a pale and cold face, so help me God!

Smith's pov

I didn't know how many glasses Alexia drank, but this wine is so intoxicating so I am sure she's really drank.

"How much did she drink?" I questioned Warren.

"I don't know, maybe 6 glasses." Warren replied, seeming a little bit panicked.

"Let's go." I patted Alexia's shoulder lightly, but Alexia didn't respond, just staring at the glass blankly.

I stared at her in a daze and my lips curved up to form a smile.

This girl is so cute, drank or not, she's still so adorable.

Alexia was usually very sloppy, just sitting as quiet as a cute cat this is good, she's not wild when drank, plus points.

My breathing suddenly went erratic after seeing her figure. I immediately had the urge to take her away!

I wrapped her in my arms with great ease, ignoring the exclamation of the people in the surrounding.

"Johnny Evans, Johnny. I hate you! You should never come to me again." Alexia didn't know what she was talking about, but I felt even angrier when I heard the name of a strange man coming out of her mouth. Who is that man?!

"Who is Johnny Evans?" I asked her, but Alexia didn't say a word. Is she hallucinating? Having a bad dream? Or having the girls drank episodes?

My eyes lingered on her beautiful face as if I am admiring a beautiful scene. At this moment, I felt like I had fallen for her all over again. What does this woman have?

I took Alexia in the passenger's seat then gently fastened her seat belt. I deliberately lowered my head toward her collar bones.

When Alexia saw what I did, she blushed. I couldn't help but touch her sweet face. After a while, she slept soundly until I reached her home.

She is so alluring any man couldn't resist.

Although Alexia didn't tell me her correct home address, I have already been there once so,

I could easily find her home.

I held her in my arms, taking her to bed. Alexia still didn't wake up. I didn't want to wake her up so soon since I still wanted to hold her in my arms. I am totally lost to this woman for no reason at all!

"Alexia, you are finally back!" Anni her friend suddenly opened the door happily, only to find out that a handsome guy is carrying her friend totally drank and lost!

"You, you." Anni looks surprised and couldn't say anything.

"Where is her room," I asked softly.

The girl wanted to help, but I wouldn't let her into the room. Anni could only stand outside the room looking terribly worried about her friend. What is the relationship between this handsome guy and Alexia?! How could they seem to be so close?! Oh my!

"Can you pour a glass of water?" I saw Alexia's dry lips so I know that she has to drink some water. I reached out and took the SKY Mermaid off her neck then shoved it in my pocket.

I didn't realize what I was doing, I was being very intimate. I simply wanted to take care of her myself, even though I never did this before, I took off her shoes then covered her with a quilt.

But I still wanted to be alone with her in the room for a while. So under the excuse of asking for water, I forced Anni to leave.

I couldn't help it anymore. So I lowered my head, and approached her lips.

She was still deeply asleep, I urgently tried to pry and open her lips. That thing felt very soft against my lips, almost as if it were nothing but a feather, trickling my skin.

She moved, so I paused for a moment before the touch became gentler. So gentle that I felt that me brushing her lips really wanted to express my affection to her. I don't know if she's really asleep but there's no reaction, so maybe she is.

I couldn't help but reveal an expression of pleasure. I wanted to scoot closer to this woman.

I could only pray in my heart that this will go further. damn!

ANNIE'S POV

I came right at this moment and was so surprised that I covered my mouth. My God, this guy is secretly kissing my good friend. He was so perverted, but also handsome! I decided not to see anything for the happiness of my good friend. I quietly put down the water glass, secretly took a photo of this scene with my mobile phone, and then I slipped into silence!

It was the first time Alexia had been so drunk in many years. I didn't know what happened to her. But I was even more confused by Smith. This man seemed more excited about Alexia's response, and his kiss became more and more intense.

Alexia's pov

In a daze, I felt as if someone is kissing me. Who is it? This feeling reminded me of my first love...

Johnny Evans and I were middle school and high school classmates. Back then he started pursuing me during my junior high school days. I didn't accept him, but he remained courting me for a long time. I was attracted to him. He played basketball outstandingly. Well, standing on the edge of the basketball court watching his handsome shooting, I couldn't help but fall for him. What's more, this boy had been showing kindness to me. So I promised him that I would be his girlfriend after graduation. I already thought of becoming his girlfriend. After my graduation trip, we went to the beautiful sea together. There, he asked me again if I wanted to be his girlfriend. This time I didn't refuse. I shouted: "Johnny Evans, I like you, I do!" There we exchange of our first kiss.

What I didn't expect was that the words in my memories were also spoken in reality, which obviously gave Smith a big blow.

He hurriedly covered me with a quilt and fled.

But I am certain, he was insulted.

The next day.

With a splitting headache, I opened the door and saw Anni's excited face. "What are you doing?" Anni's behavior was really strange.

"Be honest, what's your relationship with that handsome guy yesterday?" Anni pushed me onto the sofa.

"What a handsome guy! I want to ask you how I came back." I was also baffled. "And my clothes are still the same as yesterday, too tight." I thought Anni would have changed my clothes but I didn't expect that she wouldn't do anything.

"I dared not touch you. I was afraid that if I touched you last night, I would be beaten by that handsome guy." Anni smiled vaguely.

"What a handsome guy!" Smith sent me back, right? Oh my god, I didn't do anything stupid when I was drunk, did I? I started to feel nervous, I am a different me when I am drunk!

"It's the one I saw in the elevator last time. He is so handsome and he took care of you very tenderly. I couldn't get a chance to help you. And...hahaha." Anni chuckled as she remembered something.

"He is my boss. It was at the banquet where he invited me to yesterday. Then I got drunk by the too sweet wine, I didn't expect to hit hard in me. He must have taken care of me!" I knew this answer certainly couldn't satisfy Anni. She is so nosy and a good person at gossiping as well.

"Oh, really? Then, what is this!" Anni opened her cellphone to show me a photo, I took a look and gasped. My goodness! It looks like I kissed Smith back. What's more terrifying is that my hands were holding his neck, and my goodness, my face is surely blushing right now.

"Give it to me!" I wanted to grab Anni's phone to delete it but she ran away.

"Sister, I will send it to you, but I will keep this one!" Anni ran back to her room quickly, and after a while, my phone received the photo. Looking at this photo carefully again, it made me shy, but it looked really good. Silly me!

"Necklace! What a mess." I touched my neck but found that the super expensive necklace was gone. I rummaged through the entire room and couldn't find it. The photo was taken after I came back. Did it get stolen after being drunk?

Oh my! What have I done? I couldn't pay that for sure! I cannot afford that! Come on.

I sat down so helplessly tired, where did I lost it? Was I too drank that I became so careless?

I might be mistakenly blamed that I intentionally kept it if I couldn't return it to Mr.Smith!

Anni noticed my worriedness then offered me to help find the necklace.

"Have you not observed it on my neck when I came home last night? I asked her.

"How could I? Your arms are all around that boss of yours that I had not seen your neck." She questioned me.

"That is too expensive! My life is no enough worth for it. I don't know what to do." I was too scared telling her about my fears.

"Relax, you did not lost it intentionally." She solaced me but sure enough I know that she agrees with me.

"What will I do?" I asked her as if she knows how to solve my problem. She's a more scared cat when it comes to expensive things for my information.

She shook her head with her pout folded up.

I sat then closed my eyes brushing my head with my fingers. I couldn't think of a way, I don't even know how to disclose that I have lost it!

Slowly and idea came into my mind.

I ran towards my phone then grabbed it to make a call.

I called Warren anxiously. He was by my side at that time. Maybe he would know where the necklace went.

"Hey Warren, good morning. It's me, Alexia." I politely greeted.

"Good morning, Alexia, how are you feeling right now?" Warren cared about me, but I was only thinking about the necklace.

"I'm fine. I just want to ask you. Have you seen the Sky Mermaid I wore last night?"

"That necklace, wasn't it on your neck even before you left the banquet?" Warren also felt strange. It was on my neck yesterday.

"That means it was still before I left?"

My hope was dashed, I lost it! "Is the necklace lost?" Warren suddenly understood something.

Warren's POV

When Smith took Alexia away, I saw the necklace on her neck, and the necklace was very cumbersome to wear and remove. So it was impossible to lose it. Someone must have taken it away, who was it? I smiled and decided to help Smith.

"The necklace is lost! Oh my!" I pretended to be surprised.

Alexia's POV

"Yes, I seem to have lost it." On the phone, I was sad when I heard Warren's words. The necklace was lost. How could I lose it?!

"Oh my God! Smith spent a lot of money for that necklace to be lost just like that! Have you ever asked him? He took you home last night."

Warren sighed at the other side. "Buddy, I couldn't only help you to this point, you will have to work hard to pay it."

"I-I didn't. I'll ask him later." After the call with Warren I didn't dare to call Mr. Smith at all. I lost his expensive necklace, and even burdened him to take care of me last night. But the necklace was lost. Even if I would sell my organs, I couldn't make up the money to repay him.

"Hey, Mr. Smith, this is Alexia." I still perked up my courage to call him.

***

Smith knew that Alexia would call him. He fished out the necklace in his pocket and smiled. "Well, do you have a headache?"

Hearing his gentle words, Alexia was stunned. She knew that if she will I let him know that she lost the necklace, she might need to kneel and beg for mercy.

"Mr. Smith, I'm sorry, I seem to have lost your necklace!" She was even scared when Smith didn't speak, was he very angry?

"Mr. Smith, I want to ask if I dropped it in your car." She still has high hopes that she might have dropped the necklace in his car that it will eventually be found.

"The car has been washed in the morning and nothing has fallen." Smith's words crushed her hopes. What will she do, her worries were too high?

"It's okay, it's just a necklace. I will also investigate the surveillance at the banquet last night, and see if I can find it." Smith touched the necklace, thinking many plans in his mind. He will use it to hold the girl in her neck!

"I will look for it again, thank you. Mr. Smith." She prayed in her heart that she could find the necklace.

"Don't call me Mr. Smith. Call me Calvin in private." Smith couldn't bear the girl he liked and kept calling him Mr. Smith, which made him feel strange.

"Ok, okay Mr. Smith. No, no, Calvin." She hung up the phone trembling, she changed clothes, and removed her makeup anxiously, getting ready to search the room again.

Alexia's POV

The text message prompt rang.

"Don't worry, no one would dare to steal such an expensive necklace. Take a good rest, and I will find it. That is the only necklace of that kind." It was a text message from Smith that instantly relaxed me. Yeah, such an expensive, famous necklace. If someone stole it, they would not be able to sell it again. As long as it was sold again, Mr. Smith would be able to find it back!

"Thank you, I troubled you." I short replied. I still couldn't find any words to type. Thus I don't even have the strength to make any movements. Have I taken myself to so much trouble?

Smith didn't reply this time. No, I shouldn't call him Smith, I should call him Calvin that is showing kindness in favor for the trouble I put him into.

I suddenly thought of that kissing scene again. Calvin, ah, he was such a man!

"Ms. Alexia, don't forget the movie in the afternoon~" It was a text message from Jack Williams, and I remembered that we had an appointment to watch a movie today.

"Who is it?" Anni asked curiously.

"It's my blind date."

"No, don't you want the handsome guy yesterday?" Anni widened her eyes as if accusing me of wasting a handsome guy.

She's a little but being biased to this lawyer that I was supposed to meet again for the movie.

"I..." I didn't know what to say. Obviously, I had nothing to do with Calvin, but I felt that today's date seemed like I was betraying Calvin...
