“We get by with respect, but she gets by with no shame.”“Hey, do you think Zach will help her?”“You should ask Zach, not me.”Sophie looked at me. “So, you’re not getting back together with him?”“You and Oliver are the same. He asks me every morning, and you ask me every night.”“We’re just worried that you’ll forget the pain once you’re over it. Maybe next time, I should write down everything Zach did to hurt you and stick it on the wall. You can read it every day to remind yourself.”I did not want to deal with her.At 10 a.m. the next day, Sophie and I arrived at Gordon Corporation and met Austin.It looked like he had decided to team up with Gordon Corporation after some thought.Tyler welcomed us warmly, and as expected, I saw Zach in the meeting room.Austin was a little shocked to see Zach, but he quickly understood.He muttered, “So, it’s just a front.”Officially, Timothy was the person in charge of the Cameron Hill project at Gordon Corporation. However, Zach w

“No.”“What about your eyes?”“I have amblyopia with an eye-power of 0.5.” He closed his eyes, and the eye drops streamed down the corner of his eyes. He then wiped it with the back of his hand. If he had treated it earlier, it would not have ended up like this. Sometimes, I really did not understand Zach and his actions. Sophie said, “We’ve only been strategizing on paper this entire afternoon. When are we going for a field visit?” “Tomorrow,” Zach said. “Are you guys okay with that?” “Yeah.” “What about you, Cassia? If you don’t feel well, you can excuse yourself.”“You don’t have to worry about me. Besides, I’m not that late into my pregnancy. It’s not like I’ll give birth on the way there.”So, we planned a field visit to Cameron Hill the next day. My legs felt a bit heavy after sitting in the meeting room for a whole day. I had also taken my shoes off when I sat down. I made an awkward discovery that I was not able to put my shoes on again. Sophie had already s

Austin carried Sophie into her bedroom and laid her down on the bed. I noticed that his hair was drenched in sweat, and his usual pale complexion had turned red. He was breathing heavily when he said, “Help her wash her face and make her a honey drink to sober up.” “You get some rest. I’ll get you a towel!”I entered the washroom to take a towel. After I came out, I saw Austin sitting next to Sophie and looking at her. His gaze was deep and meaningful. He did not usually look at her like that. I walked over and passed the towel to him. “I’ve asked Mrs. Scarlett to make her a cup of honey drink. What happened? Why did Lance bring her to a hotel?” “She told Lance that she didn’t want to go home tonight.” Austin took the towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead. “She didn’t want him to go home either, so Lance had no choice but to bring her to his hotel.”“Then, did he do anything to Sophie…?”“When I went over, they were still fully clothed,” Austin said. His breathing re

The road was quite bumpy when we drove into the outskirts. Austin mumbled to himself in the front passenger seat, “We have to fix this road. We didn’t add the cost to the budget.” “A businessman’s mindset,” Sophie grumbled. I realized that regardless of what Austin said, Sophie would have something to comment. Unreciprocated love could really change a woman. It was upsetting. As we neared Cameron Hill, we could no longer drive in. We could only stop our car on the side of the road. It was undeveloped. Freeman Corporation had been quite interested in this hill before. However, it was located at the intersection point of West City and Lynx City. So, it did not fully belong to either one of the cities. It only got sorted out recently, and Zach sensed that it could be a good business opportunity. Sophie supported me as I got out of the car. I then looked up at the hilltop. Cameron Hill was made up of two continuous hills, and a large area was covered in pine trees. Even in earl

Zach squatted before me to dry my hair and face with a towel. I was not very wet, but Zach and Austin were completely soaked.I looked at Austin, who was so pale that his lips had no color.“You’re weak, so don’t try to put on a tough front,” Sophie complained, even after she received his help. She was incredibly ungrateful. Just then, I sneezed again.“We should go to the hospital. You and Austin need to get checked,” Zach said.“It’s just a little rain,” Austin said flatly. “I’m not going to die.”“Hah, if he dies from a little rain, that’ll be impressive.”I elbowed her. “Can you shut up already?”The rain stopped after a while. By the time Mr. Pepper drove us back into the city, the sun was shining.“Seriously?” Sophie groaned. “Was this on purpose? My hair’s still wet, but the sun’s already out.”Zach insisted that we visit the hospital, but I was fine. The doctor examined me and said that everything was okay. I could have some ginger tea at home to prevent a cold.Aus
