It was already time for work so everyone returned to their position. Only Angel was still standing in front of me, staring at the table in a daze.

"Are you okay? What are you still doing here? Shouldn't I proceed to my work, or we'll play hide and seek here?" I braved my voice for her.

Angel seemed to be shocked at my reactions, she might have not expected me to shame her in front of my officemates. She glanced at me sharply then left.

I sighed very deep then hurriedly opened my bag.

I saw that the earrings were still in there. I heaved a sigh of relief.

After a while, Andie ran over and whispered to me, "Angel just went out secretly. I followed her and saw her enter the elevator. Guess what?! She went to the monitor room!"

"Go and see what she is up to." I locked the drawer, took my phone, and went out with Andie.

We darted directly to the basement. As soon as the elevator door opened, we met Angel. She became a little nervous when she saw me.

"Wow, manager. Why are you here? Are you also coming to see who the thief is?" Andie mocked.

"Your business has nothing to do with me!" Angel quickly made up an excuse. "I lost my necklace. I'm here to see who has stalked into my office this morning!"

Angel replied confidently. "Then let's go and find out who stole your necklace."

She was being a little unreasonable.

"Huh! Don't get in my way." Angel elbowed me to make way and stepped into the elevator.

"This woman is terrible!" Andie couldn't help but complain. "No wonder Mr. Smith doesn't like her, she deserves it!"

"Stop talking, let's go and see!" I took Andie to the monitoring room.

Sure enough, as I expected, it seemed like Angel copied all the video recordings of the surveillance, and 'accidentally' deleted the original files.

Where is the monitoring team here?

"Alexia, what should we do next." Andie is worried.

"What can we do? She is the granddaughter of the chairman, even if we complain, no one will do anything about it! Not to mention that I didn't lose anything, video evidence is not in our hands either." So we would have to let it go for now.

Although I was reluctant, I had to face the reality.

"You just give up? Know that if you let this pass, she can easily do that to you over and over again." Andie also felt this is unfair.

"She didn't really lose her necklace. What's more? She might cause trouble for everyone. Let's see the tricks she would use now."

Angel wouldn't let me go so easily. After returning to the department, Andie told our colleagues what happened in the monitoring room.

The colleagues were dumbfounded. Everyone knew what happened, but no one dared to stand up. These days, Angel had been asking everyone to work hard over time, but apart from overtime, she had no other demands. Her actions made me more worried because it wasn't like her usual behavior she is more dangerous these days.

We often worked overtime when the previous leader was there, so I was used to it. Anyway, overtime paid me.

Jack Williams had called several times to invite me to dinner these days, and I didn't have time.

During lunch break on Wednesday, someone called me. When I went out, I saw a courier boy delivering flowers. He was holding a large bouquet of roses.

After I signed the receipt, I found a small card inserted in it. I could tell it was given by Jack.

Soon after, my cell phone rang. "Are you free now? I'm downstairs in your company. Let's have lunch together." He had come to my office, and I couldn't refuse it anymore.

I just noticed Andie by my side, so I explained to him I wanted to bring a friend. He agreed. Jack politely asked us what we wanted to eat, then finally, we decided to have some steak.

Andie had been observing Jack, then she quietly said to me,

"This man looks pretty good and is very polite. I couldn't refute this" She paused and said dreamily, "But Mr. Smith is better."

I was dumbfounded, why would she mention him now? She saw my expression then quickly added.

"What do you think? Mr. Smith is such an excellent man, and he also gave you a Blue mermaid, that is a gift for his lover. He just likes you, and he is so handsome and rich. So if it wasn't for you, I would say yes to his pursuit!" Andie sighed dreamily. Just then, I heard the sound of footsteps.

"Do you have to discuss this with me now?" I looked over and found that Jack was walking over. Did he hear our conversation? I couldn't help but pinch Andie, hoping she could end this topic. "Okay, then I will look for you tonight."

And she didn't say anything about Mr. Smith after that. We all went to dinner with Jack in a nearby restaurant.

The meal was blissful, but neither Jack nor Andie could stop from making the atmosphere awkward.

"Do you like the flowers I gave you?" Jack asked with a smile.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

"That's good, let's go." He very gentlemanly sent us downstairs after having a meal.

"Are you free tonight?"

"Sorry. We have been working overtime these days. So I don't have time tonight." What I said is the truth.

"It's okay. Let's have dinner together at noon tomorrow." Jack suggested again.

"But how can you come here all the way from your office every day?" I knew his workplace was far away from mine, and it would take more than an hour to drive over.

"It's okay. I've been seeing customers outside these days. So I dropped in." Jack smiled.

"Okay, then see you tomorrow. Drive carefully." After returning to the office, I found someone moved things on my desk again, and this time Andie's desk was also the same.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm a new employee here, Bella, and I just wiped the table for everyone." This Bella was the person who helped Angle pick the lock last time.

"Yes, she is a new staff member. She was recruited by the manager." A colleague who arrived in the office earlier introduced her to us.

I frowned when I heard that this person was hired by Angle, and this girl's dress was too gorgeous. I narrowed my eyes on her. This girl looked so much like plastic that I felt disgusted in my heart just by glancing at her. It also seemed as if Bella tried her best to be very naive, but her eyes couldn't hide her evil thoughts.

The arrival of Bella made me feel more uneasy. So I hid the earrings in the safety of my home. I knew that if I let Angle know the existence of the sky mermaid, she might kill me. I received roses at noon these days, and then I would have lunch with Jack. I got to find out more about him.

And Jack was more and more satisfied with me. He even wanted to move further in our relationship.

After getting off work on Friday, I came to the commercial street and looked at the gorgeous jewelry.

I suddenly thought about the Blue Mermaid. I didn't know if Calvin found it. My phone rang suddenly.

It was Calvin. I was still thinking about him, and now he called me. My heart jumped wildly.

His initiative made me feel very helpless. I admitted that he was a good person, but I wasn't self-confident anymore. I didn't think I could have my Cinderella's dreams anymore because Cinderella only existed in fairy tales. It was a bit unrealistic.

But my phone kept ringing as if it would keep ringing until I picked it up. Finally, I answered the call.

"Why are you answering my call now?" Calvin's tone seemed a little angry.

"I left my phone in the room just now." I lied. I thought about my relationship with him and felt it was really awkward to talk to him now. I wasn't his lover or a familiar friend, but our talk looked like communication between lovers.

"Really!" Calvin's tone became colder, even I could detect something wrong with him. He found out that I had lied, but I had already lied and could only continue to make up lies.

"Are you okay?" So I pretended to be naive about his behavior.

"No." And the strange conversation ended

Calvin's pov

I was sitting in the car staring at Alexia who was standing in front of the jewelry store, and I squeezed the gift box in my hand. It was the gift he planned to give her.

As soon as I got off the plane, I immediately came to her, but she lied. Did she really hate me so much?

Alex's pov

After I hung up the phone, I felt very guilty. Somehow, I felt as if someone was watching me. I looked back and it seemed to be a familiar car.

After I got home, I packed my clothes and saw the jacket Calvin lent from the first meeting. I thought I'd better find the opportunity to return the jacket to him. Before I could fall asleep, Warren sent me a message.

w: Alexia, have you received a gift?

A: What gift?

W: Smith went to see you when he got off the plane? Has the gift arrived yet?

Warren is also surprised. I was stunned when I saw his text message. I hadn't seen him today, but it suddenly occurred to me that I received a weird call in the afternoon and the car that made me feel a little familiar.

He was there! Then I told him that I was lying home, and he found out that I was lying. No wonder he was so indifferent.

A: I didn't see him today.

w: That's a pity. I thought you would be very happy tonight.

A: May I ask, why did he give me a gift? First, it was a Sky mermaid, and now it was a gift brought back from abroad. I feel like I am going crazy.

W: You have to ask him yourself. Let me ask? I'm crazy.

W: Go to bed early, good night.

I ended the chat with Warren, and received another message from Calvin. It was a photo! It was the Sky mermaid that I lost! I couldn't help calling him. "Smith, ah, Calvin, did you find the necklace?"

"Found it." Hearing his reply, I was completely relieved, and now I could sleep well.

"I won't tell you how I found it. You should rest early." His tone seemed to be cold.

But I didn't care about it. I was simply glad that he could find the necklace. It made me feel a little relaxed, and I could take care of other things now. I was really happy that he found this necklace!

Calvin's pov

I smiled. I wanted to hide it for a while. I intended to use this necklace and trick Alexia into dating Alexia, but her behavior today made me feel a little nervous. What would happen if she found out about this in the future?

She would know that I was hiding the secret, and the consequences might be serious. Right now our relationship was very ordinary. So I shouldn't do things to destroy it even more. So I gave up this plan.

I eventually fell asleep in a nice dream. I've been suffering from sleeplessness for a long time, but I had a lovely dream last night. Calvin kissed me again in my dream! He pressed a kiss on my neck and I sucked in a sharp breath. He cupped my face in his hand and He asked me if I want it. I said Yes without a single thought. He kissed me like he had been starving for a long time.

I kissed him back with the same passion, my hands pressed against his firm chest. He also addressed me as honey! I can't get him out of my head. I felt strange connections towards Calvin. Am I ready to lose my virginity? In my dreams?

I closed my eyes but I could still recall the kiss from my dream when I awoke in the morning. His arms were around my waist at the moment, and he had firmly pulled me into his arms. Another hand was just behind my neck, drawing me closer to him till my chest was pressed against him. He bent his head and kissed my lips before whispering lovely things and pushing our lips together. He kissed my lower lips before reaching beneath my shirt and grabbing one of my firm breasts. I wasn't wearing a bra in my dream. So, as he grabbed my breasts, my nipples pricked up in response to his touch. Even his fingers brushed up against my nipples, firming them up. I gasped as a trace of blush appeared on my cheeks as a result of his contact.

Oh, my goodness! Why did I ever consider it?! That was a dream, not real! My face was flushed no matter how hard I scolded myself.

Anni got up when I washed up. Should we hike with Andie today, Anni? I warmly invited Anni, and without hesitation, she answered and said, "Do you have an extra backpack for my packing? Their reaction was priceless!

"Yes! Wait a minute, I'll pay you back first! "

Three of us met at the subway station and set off for the tourist destination. We intended to stay overnight and return the next day... that was the initial plan.

On the subway, Jack called again. I didn't want to answer since Jack had lately started talking to me about getting married. I was a bit uneasy because we rarely saw each other and didn't know each other very well, but Jack wanted to get married. And the amount of strain on me is becoming overwhelming and exhausting to bear. He said I was too beautiful, and he had to make a marriage appointment sooner so that he could be sure no one would steal me away. Of course, I turned him down. Although I knew he was disappointed, I think this man was selfish, without considering what would be my response to his blunt proposal. It was my marriage after all, and I couldn't make such a hasty decision. I hung up after a brief conversation with Jack. At the moment, I'm even more perplexed as to what's coming through.

When the chatty Andie realized that it wasn't Calvin's call, she lost interest in continuing the conversation. As soon as we arrived at our destination, we immediately began doing the things that tourists do, such as shooting countless numbers of photos, posing in front of a variety of backdrops, among other things. Following that, we found ourselves grabbing enormous sizes of iced Coke with one hand as the other held the menu in preparation for a follow-up order.

Andie possesses excellent photographic abilities. Andie, as I recall, has a strong interest in photography, which makes her a natural choice to serve as an official club photographer. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep them from being posted on my Instagram account.

Warren, on the other hand, gathered all of the photographs we had uploaded, picked the finest of them, and then forwarded them to Smith.

Smith was able to keep them all. He was browsing while his imagination was conjuring up images of the scene depicted in each photograph. When he caught a glimpse of my sparkling smile, a smile appeared on his face.

At night, we slept in the same bed and began to talk about our day. I also informed them about the weird event that happened to me that night in the middle of nowhere. When they learned that Calvin was waiting for me downstairs, they burst into laughter and delight. "What kind of TV plot is this? He stood by you and made Abby Williams extremely angry. "

"I am wrong. I am wrong. Let me go. " Andie couldn't bear being tickled and finally begged me for mercy.

"But I want to see Abby Williams' expression with my own eyes. She will watch you with envy. Her expressions must be terrible. After all, look at how wonderful Mr. Smith is! Maybe that bitch will desire to steal your man again! "

"Don't think too much. He is our Boss, I have nothing to do with Mr. Smith. "Besides, I am just an ordinary girl to be adored by Mr. smith. I emphasized again my relationship with him.

"Oh, don't do this. You can reconsider it. After all, he is quite wealthy. A generous man, he usually spends money elsewhere might as well take advantage of it. As long as you request it, such as your mother's surgical bill, medication, and post-op needs. He will not hesitate, and you will not have to exert any effort." Anni responded solemnly.

"Yes, and nowadays, love isn't enough. It isn't as useful as actual money." Andie went on. "It doesn't matter why she wants you; what matters is that you meet your mother's needs and that she gets all she needs."

Hearing her words, I felt very unhappy. I didn't want to use my body to exchange money. I wanted pure love. Although it was unrealistic, I also had expectations.

"Okay, okay. Stop talking and go to sleep. " I quickly ended the topic, and the three of them fell silent.

In the darkness, I thought of marriage again and last night's dream. My mother kept finding me blind dates. I knew she wanted me to have a husband when I am still young, without having to work hard, but I didn't think I'd be able to get married so soon.

Calvin had already arrived.

I squinted my eyes and looked at it carefully, but I couldn't find any damage at all!

"It doesn't seem to have any problems." I stared at him suspiciously.

"Does it look good?" Calvin stared at me without answering my question.

"Of course, it was really beautiful," I replied honestly.

"For you." His tone was as calm as a lake.

I gasped. "I can't ask for it! It's too expensive, and the earrings, you can take them too. " I took out the earrings in my bag and put them together with the necklace.

They were so splendid, but unfortunately, they weren't mine.

"If you don't want it, then I will throw it away." Calvin's face pulled back, and he raised his arms as if to throw them into the trash can.

"No, no, no, I'll take it!" Calvin really could throw away such precious things as garbage.

I would save it for him first, and then I would return it to him when he wanted it back.

"Then if you accept it, you should answer a question." Calvin suddenly became serious.

"Do you like your blind date very much?"

"What do you mean?" I widened my eyes.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Calvin became even angrier when he noticed my hesitation. Before now, he had never felt like a failure.

"Who I like has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business." He had gone too far.

"I'm leaving." I took all my things and wanted to leave. This time, Calvin grabbed me and dragged me to the back garden of the restaurant."

Before I could react, he pushed me against the wall.

"What are you doing? You are hurting me!

"How come you haven't informed me that you've confirmed your relationship with him?" When did this happen? Don't you like me at all? Calvin's demeanor is caustic.

My whole body was crushed by Calvin. I struggled a few times, but couldn't move at all. I immediately got angry. I didn't care that he was my boss anymore, "Why do you want to know if I have a boyfriend?"

"Do you like that lawyer that much?" Calvin pressed me against the wall.

"Who I like has nothing to do with you! Mr. Smith, you have no right to interfere in my private life! " I looked directly into his eyes.

I thought it was time to break up with him, and I would be able to save a lot of trouble after I made it clear.

"You-" Calvin seemed to be annoyed. He stared at me, almost gritting his teeth.

"Do you have any idea what's going on inside me? I want you! " He kissed me right away.

"Mm..." I became furious, and I blushed again. I struggled, wanting to push him away, but he grabbed both of my hands, and I couldn't get away. He sneaked his tongue inside my mouth and sucked on my tongue. His lips were still in my mouth when I felt his tongue forcefully prying my teeth, attempting to enter my mouth. He used one of his hands to squeeze my ass tightly, causing a moaned to erupt out of my throat. I whimpered, but Calvin was way stronger than I had imagined. No matter what I did, he only became excited in the end and kissed me as if there was no tomorrow. The only thing that gave me relief was that my legs were still free. I immediately bent one of my legs, lifted it hard, aiming at the center. At the same time, I bit his tongue hard. I felt that Calvin immediately retracted his tongue, and the smell of blood spread around me instantly.

It was the first time I saw Calvin smile. I was stunned. He would usually look cold and indifferent, seemingly overlooking all the world. I didn't expect him to smile in such an attractive way. His smiling eyes were as bright as sunshine.

However, if there was no blood at the corner of his mouth, he would look better! Wait, what the heck was I thinking?! I shook my head. I should control myself. It would be too strange if I was attracted to his face! "I don't know why you're approaching me... If you just want to play with me, just find another woman. How about Angel? She likes you. I'm sure when you approach her, you won't have any more difficulties. I advise you to give up! "

"What if I really like you? And I really do. " Calvin slowly straightened his waist, and he reached out and wiped the blood from his mouth. He ignored what I said about Angel.

"What do you mean?" I felt my brainwashed over in confusion. I could hear what he said, but I couldn't understand what he meant.

"I want you! I need you Alexia, "Calvin stared at me and said firmly.

"Mr. Smith, are you mentally ill?" I looked at his smile. If he wasn't sick, then why would he not be able to laugh when he was injured in his most vulnerable part?

"Bad girl, if I were mentally sick, it wouldn't do you any good." Calvin looked helpless, but there was a smirk.

His hand was already occupied with holding himself against the wall, but he still drew me into his arms with the other. I remained silent for a few moments before speaking anything. "I'm sorry, but I'm not going to accept you! We do not get along. We can't be together, no matter what you think or want. Please give up right now. "

"Could you possibly explain why you do not wish to let me into your life? I'm perplexed as to why you rejected my proposal. " Calvin arched his brows and said quietly.

"Players are my least favorite people on the planet. In particular, the wealthy and unfaithful! " I locked my gaze on him and responded sharply. "Please don't waste your time on me!"

"What makes you think I'm a jerk? If you don't even try to accept me as your boyfriend? " Calvin smiled slyly.

"Do you have any idea how many women are after you? They are more gorgeous, intelligent, and wealthy than I am. " My eyes were filled with hatred as I glanced at him.

"Forget it. As compensation for your kicks, I'll provide you with the privilege of dining with me. Let's visit one of my favorite restaurants, or would you prefer to visit another? " Calvin's tone was so forceful that I found myself powerless to refuse. However, I felt a pang of regret for causing him such agony. As a result of this, and because I desired to be with him, I consented to his request.

He turned around and opened the door for me as we headed to his car. We got into Calvin's car and drove to an upscale restaurant.

But I'm not going to let him have a proper dinner. I ordered a fairly spicy dish, which tasted excellent and looked quite well in the meal. I was a little disappointed that the funny scene I had hoped to see didn't happen. Perhaps it wasn't spicy enough for Calvin.

So, I took a mouthful as well, but as soon as the meal hit my tongue, it felt so hot that I thought my tongue was going to burn. I began to cry almost immediately. When I turned my back to wipe away the tears, I caught a glimpse of Calvin's amusing eyes. I took a sip of the water he handed to me awkwardly and drank it all in one go.

Calvin was really bold, and he wasn't even astonished by the spicy dish I served him. He is a force to be reckoned with, not only at business but also in his personal life. He certainly does have a distinct sense of style.

In addition to this extremely hot dish, I had the impression that I was really enjoying this meal. I believe that is my favorite cuisine right now! I smiled as I looked Calvin in the eyes.

"I'll take you back to your house!" Calvin's tone was so insistent that I couldn't say no, and I had no choice but to get into his car. I couldn't tell you how many times I had gotten into his car.

Calvin started the car's engine. I thought he would say something. After all, I had ordered the spicy dish deliberately. I thought that he would probably take revenge, but after a long time in the car, he remained silent. He never said anything and it made me feel even more nervous.

However, just as I was about to give up hope that he would ever talk to me again, he pulled over the car and swiftly walked into a convenience shop by the side of the road. I thought he would buy some chips, but he returned with three bottles of water not long after that.

He took one sip, and then emptied the entire bottle in less than a second.

Was he really so thirsty? I was dumbfounded. "Are you very thirsty? Did you drink water while we were at the restaurant?

He drank the entire bottle in a single drink. I thought he was choking on his food. Consequently, he placed one hand on the car door and said slowly. "Super spicy food you ordered! Spicy!"

I burst out laughing. At first, I believed he was not afraid of hot and spicy food. His acting skills won him the Best Actor award! It turns out he was just putting on a show for the audience.

I laughed until my stomach ached thinking how hard he was. I forced myself to stop but I couldn't help but laugh again. After seeing her awkward expression, I laughed even louder than normal.

Calvin clenched his teeth. "You're a bad girl! It seems like my tongue is going to fall off right now! I still have crucial meetings tomorrow morning!" Calvin wasn't sure whether he could talk the next day.

"You deserve it!" It came to me after some consideration, so I included it. "I won't sympathize with you because you bullied me first!"

Calvin's POV

As a result of eating that spicy cuisine, my tongue was burning so badly that I couldn't detect any taste or smell. I was aware that Alexa was pulling a fast one on me, but I maintained my composure. It took every ounce of my acting ability to maintain a neutral expression during the entire time! But it was unbearably hot, and I couldn't stand it. I love spicy food, but this particular food was so hot that I couldn't take it.

She was behaving like a baby, in my eyes. Oh, she was so adorable!

According to my observations, she was acting like a young girl. She was completely unaware of the impact her actions would have on me. Oh, my goodness, I'm dying to give her a bear hug right now. She was just nice!

"All right, let's go." I turned my head and spotted Alexia staring at me. Surprisingly, she seemed to be thinking about how I was drinking my water. Although she was aware of how hot the dish was, she dared to laugh!

It is not on fire at all! "It's already numb!" I exclaimed, scowling.

Alex pursed her lips together, a smirk on her face.

"Please don't laugh any longer. You're making me angry!

"Perfectly ok, it's all right, be mad at me!" Alexia said with a wink, as if she was attempting to make me angry.

Of course, I would not feel angry just as a reaction of this. All I hope is that she will continue to smile on a daily basis. I would do whatever it takes to get her to smile at me as long as she was willing to do so for me. I will gladly eat another spicy food just to make her Laugh.

"Thank you for inviting me, and please accept my apologies for the spicy dish!" she said respectfully as the car eventually came to a stop below her apartment building.

I gestured at her to come closer. She frowned and lowered her head. It made me smile when I noticed her submissive conduct; it seemed like a cat had just scratched the inside of my rib cage. And I instantly drew her head toward mine, my lips resting on hers as she smiled. When I first approached her, she froze and didn't respond for a long time, until I pressed my tongue into her mouth, gently traced her lips, and sucked her mouth. She smiled as my tongue brushed across the interior of her mouth. Surprise, surprise, she was taken aback! Then she reacted, as if she wasn't sure whether she should push me away or continue kissing me. "Damnit, you are driving me nuts!" I kissed her more passionately and with a bigger smile. We finally parted ways after what felt like yours.

While walking back to her house, she was flushed with the thought of saying goodbye. "Enjoy a pleasant evening and good night."

Alex's POV

Anni noticed her from the window and immediately began teasing me. We take a seat at the dining table and enjoy a cup of tea. "What a fantastic date with a wonderful person!" "We just happened to meet, and he just sent me home." "I don't think so, and don't try to fool me. I am no longer a child, and I am your friend. I saw you smiling."

It was at that point that I informed her of what had occurred in the restaurant, making it apparent that I had refused him. "All right, I'll say it." Of course, I didn't mention his dominating kiss when I was talking about him. She was taken aback.

It took Anni by surprise when she heard, "Oh my God, you are really great! Several high-quality people admire you, and you continue to refuse."

"Otherwise, what? He's got a problem because he's too nice. I don't believe in love at first sight! I had the impression that he was approaching me for some other reason. "I thought he was pretty strange."

"When a man approaches a woman, besides her beauty and body, what other purpose can he have? What I said is the truth! Can you tell me what you have besides your beauty and body? "

Anni flashed her big wide eyes.

"It makes me sad!" I was indeed shocked when I thought about it seriously, but you still tried to refute it. "Along with my beauty and body, I obviously have good cultivation and scholarship."

"I don't believe it! I think you are sick! " She paused and said, "Come on, it seems that he is serious about you. He hasn't left yet. " Anne looked out of the window.

No! I walked to the window in surprise, but there was no car.

"Ha, you really have feelings for him!" Anni gossiped

"You are so smart!" I glared at Anni, who was sitting on the sofa, curling up in one corner.

But Anni's words really went into my heart. Did I really feel something for him? Otherwise, why would I be nervous every time I see him? And when he kissed me, I even felt a little happy in my heart.

"What are you thinking? Or, are you waiting for Johnny Evans? Do you still have illusions about him? "

"I'm not waiting for him!" I immediately retorted as soon as I heard the man's name.

"Only you know what the truth is!"

I lowered my head and said nothing. Several people of high quality admire you! And you keep refusing. " Anni was surprised.

"What else? His problem is that he is too good. Love at first sight is a fairytale! It appeared to me that he was approaching me for some other reason. "When a man approaches a lady, what other motive can he have than to admire her beauty and body? "That's the truth! Please tell me about your other qualities, other than your attractiveness and physical appearance. "

Anni widened her eyes.

"It makes me sad!" When I really thought about it, I was taken aback, but you continued to try to disprove my point of view. "I have a good upbringing and education, along with my attractiveness and physique."

It's impossible for me to believe it! "I think you're crazy! Come on, he seems serious about you, "she stopped. "He hasn't left. Anne peered outside.

Hey! Curiously, I stepped to the window, but there was no car.

"Wait a minute, you're actually in love with him!" Anni was up to her old tricks again.

"Wow, you're really smart!" I smirked at Anni, who was curled up in a sofa corner.

Anni's comments, on the other hand, really got to me. Did I actually care for him? Why else am I frightened every time I see him? And as he kissed me, I admit that I felt a tinge of happiness in my heart.

"What are you thinking? Or are you anticipating the arrival of Johnny Evans? "Do you still wait for him?"

"I'm not waiting for him!" I responded as soon as I heard his name.

"Only you are aware of the truth!"

I kept my head down and didn't say anything.

"Seriously, you should give him some thought. Auntie is set to have surgery and will require a substantial sum of money. Finding a regular man will not get you out of trouble, but Mr. Smith is an exception to this rule. It is less complicated for him to plan the procedure. It's just some extra spending money for him! He admires your body and considers you to be beautiful. If you could track down a gold master, wouldn't it be nice? " Anni let out a sigh.

"Then what's the difference between me and a prostitute?"

"What else could it be? You aren't telling me you still believe in love, are you? " Anni's voice became ice cold.

"But-" I attempted to respond.

"Alexia, please refrain from bringing up the subject of pride. One reason for this is that you haven't yet come into a life-threatening circumstance. When you actually come across one, you will definitely regret your decision today! Just listen to me while Mr. Smith is still after you! " Anni patted my shoulder.

"I can't do it!" I hid my face behind my hand and shook my head. "I'd be cheap if I did that!"

"Oh, just think about it for a moment." Anni was also aware of the fact that I had always been a girl with strong values. I'm sure it's tough for me to take such advice at once.
