Semua Bab A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Hesper had been very busy these days, so it was only natural that she did not have the time to go through the entertainment section in the news, let alone listen to rumors that had not been officially announced, so she did not know anything about Roberto’s trip to Genecity.“Well, it’s not too late to know.” Jessie patted Hesper’s shoulder. “It seems that whenever God closes a door, He would open a window for you. After rejecting Rickard, you now have Roberto.”That was somewhat unrealistic. Hesper felt that she was unexpectedly calm; she only nodded when she heard what Jessie had to say then left to meet Renee at the campus’s gate.However, she was stunned for a moment when she saw Isaac. “Where’s Renee?”Isaac explained, “She’s feeling a little unwell today, so she asked me to come and pick you up. By the way, she also claims that she sent you a text message to ask for a leave, but you didn’t reply to that message.”Hesper had been so busy attending lectures and dealing with Mic

The university was like a smaller form of real society. The news that Roberto would be working with Lane Holdings spread like wildfire on campus. And just as Hesper stepped out of Genecity University, Isaac’s phone call came through.“Ms. Lane, about the collaboration between Mr. Sanchez and the Lanes...”Hesper watched as Jessie got on the bus, listening to Isaac’s report. “Ms. Lane, the company’s collaboration with Mr. Sanchez has created a lot of noise in the public, but you didn’t seem to tell me about this matter before, and it also wasn’t mentioned in that to-do-list that Renee handed over to me—”While Isaac’s voice came from the other end of the call, Hesper’s own voice sounded a little distorted in the storm. She quickly gave out orders and arranged things to be done in the company then asked Isaac to send someone over to pick her up.Isaac was not the only one who did not know about Roberto and Lane Holdings’ collaboration, as even Hesper did not know anything about it. U

Hesper walked up to the door and looked outside through the peephole but saw nothing.Recalling the recent news, which reported that many women living alone had been harassed, Hesper frowned. She wanted to see who it was, but a pair of hands appeared out of nowhere and blocked her view.Hesper was taken aback, but then Renee’s voice sounded from the other side of the door.“Ms. Lane, it’s me.”While Hesper found a pair of slippers for Renee, Renfrew was still sleeping on the couch, showing no indication of waking up at all.“Why are you here all of a sudden?” Renee’s lips looked a little pale, and it seemed that she had not healed just yet, so Hesper dragged her into the dining room, only to realize that her hands were freezing cold. She instantly turned around and poured her some warm water.“I didn’t send you the message last night to urge you to come back to work as soon as possible.” Hesper handed the warm glass to Renee. “It’s just that you don’t have any friends or family t

After a week of planning, the details of the collaboration between Lane Holdings and Roberto were finally finalized. Just when Hesper was still rather anxious about what identity she should use when she went to meet Roberto, Matthew stepped in and took the initiative to solve that doubt of hers.“Matt, why are you here all of a sudden?”Seeing that Matthew suddenly appeared at the door of her house, it took Hesper quite some time before she could recover from the trance. She only came back to her senses when Matthew walked into the living room with his luggage and changed into his slippers.“If I continue to let you be, I’m afraid that you’ll lose your mind here in Genecity,” Matthew responded a little angrily. “Do you really think that nothing would happen just because you didn’t let anything stupid escape your mouth? If it wasn’t for the storm from a few days ago and the sudden collaboration with Mr. Sanchez, which delayed my flight significantly, I would’ve arrived here long ago.

Matthew’s voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Hesper was so frightened that she almost screamed.Hesper could not let Matthew know the plan that she had mapped out just then, so she responded by shaking her head and trying to hide her thoughts. “Nothing! I’m fine!”Seeing the vague hint of guilt that flashed across Hesper’s face, Matthew did not dig deeper either. Instead, he took out a paper bag out from behind his back and handed it to Hesper. “This is yours, isn’t it? I found it when they were moving my stuff here.”Seeing the paper bag, Hesper froze for a split second then nodded and grabbed it from him. “Yeah, it’s mine. I almost forgot about it.”There had been too many things distracting her from the paper bag after receiving it the other day, so Hesper placed the bag aside casually and then forgot about it later on.Inside were several boxes of medicines sent to her by Julian. It was said that they were special medicines that had been newly developed for Ernest, which
