Lana heard virtual-novel.net but seemed to be hesitating.
It was the first time Jeremy saw a serious look on the dishonest woman.
He did not want to give Lana too much time to think about it.
He stood up and pretended to be displeased. “Since you don’t trust me, then forget it.”
Lana hurried over to stop Jeremy when virtual-novel.net heard what virtual-novel.net said. “Baby, don’t be angry. Why would I not trust you?”
Lana coquettishly tugged on Jeremy’s sleeve. She looked a little worried. When virtual-novel.net saw that Jeremy’s handsome face was not turned toward virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net was acting coldly as well, Lana changed virtual-novel.net mind.
“Baby, you’re offering such a big sacrifice to let a multinational company like Whitman Corporation help the Stygian Johnson Gang launder money. I’d be dumb to disagree!”
Lana gave in.
Jeremy continued pretending to be displeased to egg virtual-novel.net on. “You don’t have to agree so reluctantly. It was just a suggestion. You don’t need to agree just to please me.”
“I’m not! Jeremy, I’d love to!” Lana smiled and tried to please him. She was worried virtual-novel.net had upset Jeremy. “Jeremy, let’s do as you say, but the Stygian Johnson Gang’s accounts over the years are very cumbersome. There are a lot of things to deal with. After I sort them out, I’ll bring them to you.”
When Jeremy heard that, his cold handsome face melted.
He lifted the corner of his lips and smiled. He said with intent, “Thanks for trusting me. I won’t let you down.”
Lana was completely immersed in Jeremy’s rare smile, and virtual-novel.net mind was filled with hopes for a beautiful future with Jeremy.
In a hotel.
When Ava woke up with a hangover, virtual-novel.net head felt very heavy.
She opened virtual-novel.net eyes in a daze, trying to recall what happened last night.
It felt as if it was just a foggy dream…
Ava was about to get up, but as soon as virtual-novel.net moved, virtual-novel.net realized that a person was lying beside her.
She opened virtual-novel.net eyes wide in astonishment and looked at the body that had its back facing her. She went wild as virtual-novel.net mind went blank.
‘How can it be?
‘Wasn’t last night just a dream?
‘It really happened!’
Ava got up in a hurry, grabbed the strewn clothes on the ground, and put them on hastily. She ran to the door even though virtual-novel.net was in pain.
When virtual-novel.net arrived at the door, virtual-novel.net turned around again. She left a hundred-dollar bill, the only bill in virtual-novel.net wallet, on the bed before leaving in a hurry.
When virtual-novel.net was in the car on the way home, Ava was in a daze. Her head was filled with images of virtual-novel.net and the man last night. The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the paler Ava’s face became.
For so many years, the person virtual-novel.net liked had always been Daniel, but after virtual-novel.net found out that Daniel liked virtual-novel.net bestie, Madeline, virtual-novel.net had been suppressing the feelings in virtual-novel.net heart until now.
She knew that virtual-novel.net would never get together with Daniel in this lifetime, but virtual-novel.net never thought that virtual-novel.net would do such a thing with a stranger.
Ava got so annoyed that virtual-novel.net started crying and vowed to never drink again.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net phone rang. When virtual-novel.net saw that someone was calling her, virtual-novel.net angrily rejected and shut off virtual-novel.net phone.
It took a long time for Daniel to wake up. He was confused when virtual-novel.net saw a hundred-dollar bill on the empty bed.
When virtual-novel.net recalled what happened last night, virtual-novel.net remembered that Ava had been very drunk while virtual-novel.net was 30 percent sober.
When virtual-novel.net looked at the hundred-dollar bill, Daniel suddenly got a headache.
He called Ava but found that virtual-novel.net phone was turned off.
He assumed that Ava got angry at virtual-novel.net for last night, so virtual-novel.net got ready to go to virtual-novel.net place to look for virtual-novel.net after washing up.
Ava had just arrived at virtual-novel.net apartment and ran into the bathroom to take a bath as soon as virtual-novel.net entered.
She could not bear to think about what happened last night. It was virtual-novel.net first time and virtual-novel.net ended up giving it to some random guy. She could not even remember what happened. The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more virtual-novel.net tears streamed down.
After virtual-novel.net took a bath absent-mindedly, virtual-novel.net doorbell suddenly rang.
She wanted to pretend that there was no one in the house, but virtual-novel.net heard Daniel’s voice through the door. “Ava, it’s me.”
