Chapter 137
Yes, one must have principles in life.
Whether it was Rita, Mary, Lily, or even Jenny, I wanted them all.
The premise was, were you qualified?
Did you have the ability?
Deep down, I knew I currently lack the ability.
Not having it now, I resolved to grow into a towering tree, earning respect and followers. I had a realization and felt enlightened.
While achieving this goal might be challenging, without aspirations, one would just be stagnant.
As long as I was active and ambitious, I would enjoy life, take charge, have fun, and attract attention.
A surge of pride filled my heart.
I planted a kiss on Jenny's forehead and couldn't resist taking a photo.
It was still early, so I closed my eyes briefly, cautious of falling into a deep sleep and fearful of oversleeping, as Jenny might wake up early and catch me.
Before six o'clock, with the sky starting to lighten, I woke up, feeling my right hand already numb from being pressed on.
Looking at Jenny, sleeping soundly.
I silently got out of bed and left a note on the bedside table. Instead of leaving immediately, I called room service to bring up some breakfast.
At six-thirty, room service delivered the breakfast, which I placed on the bedside table before quietly leaving.
I left the Hilton hotel, quickly hailed a cab to go home, and took another shower, feeling almost scrubbed raw.
But success lay in the details, so I would have to endure a bit of hardship.
At seven-thirty, I head downstairs, buy breakfast, and take a taxi to the office.
In the car, Jenny sent a crying emoji.
Jenny: [Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?]
I replied: [You were sleeping so peacefully, I didn't want to wake you. I left breakfast by your bedside and even left a note.]
[Oh, I saw your face without the mask last night. You were even more beautiful than in the photo. I stayed up all night, unable to close my eyes.]
With that, I send her the sneakily taken photo.
Mighty Tiger: [I've decided to use this as my lock screen.]
She responds with a shy and touched emoji.
Jenny: [Thank you, dear. I thought you would leave after seeing it.]
Mighty Toger: [Silly, I adore you. How could I leave? But I got some really important work today, so...]
Jenny: [I understand.]
Mighty Tiger: [You better behave today. If you don't, I won't see you next time.]
I half-jokingly half-threateningly replied.
Jenny: [Dare you not see me? I'll cry!]
Well, she was turning the tables with a threat!
I chatted with her as we made our way to the office, stashed the new phone in my bag, and retrieved my usual phone. Upon exiting the car and riding the elevator, I encountered Lily once more. Her work routine was quite consistent, as she took this elevator around the same time every day.
I saw her, and she saw me.
The elevator was packed, and Grace was among the passengers. When she spotted me, Grace beckoned me over. "John, come here; There is some room!"
A shiver ran down my spine as Lily shot me a menacing glare from the opposite corner. It was an unsettling moment. Usually, I would playfully tease Grace, but with Lily's gaze fixed on me, I knew I had to behave.
"Do you notice anything different about me today?" Grace asked.
I looked her up and down and replied, "Can't see anything different."
She shot me a look. "Take a closer look!"
I inspected her again and replied, "Still can't see it."
She gestures for me to lean in.
I touch my nose. "Let's talk about it upstairs."
With Lily present, I didn't want to make any mistakes today after what happened last night. Unexpectedly, Grace leaned in closer.
The elevator was crowded, and with her proximity, I could feel her curves and softness in front of me, full of elasticity.
Even as her hand touched me, she lowered her voice. "Do you dislike my revealing attire? Is my outfit innocent enough today?" She didn't back away but instead moved closer. I was puzzled.
'Why is she trying to seduce me in the elevator? Is she trying to get me into trouble?' Just then, a cough came from the corner, and it was Lily! I didn't dare to turn my head, but I could see Lily's indifferent expression through the mirrored wall of the elevator.
"Pure... please, there are so many people here, don't be so presumptuous, okay?" I say.
She smirks, "What, do you think this young lady is not good enough for you?"
"You do, you do, but it's not appropriate here..."
She snickered, realizing that we were in a crowded elevator with colleagues. She grabbed me once more and then took a step back, remarking, "Look at you, putting on a tough act!" Damn, she was teasing me.
Lily's expression grew even colder. I was in deep trouble. The elevator arrived. I wanted to explain to Lily, but last night, we agreed not to reveal our relationship at work.
She walked faster in her high heels, "clack, clack," even louder than usual.
I glared at Grace. "Don't be so mischievous next time; it's not good for appearances!"
Grace smirked, "Sorry, but with all your impressive gear, I'm curious to see just how tough you really are!"
"Just you wait; I'll make you cry.”
I gave her a firm pat on the backside before striding inside. Walking into the office alongside Grace at this moment would be disastrous!
"Ms. Wilson, here's the breakfast you asked me to bring."
Lily used to request breakfast from me, so mentioning it now didn't trigger any suspicions.
With a stern expression, she stated, "I don't want it!" I offered a wry smile, remained silent, and placed the breakfast on her desk, only for her to promptly discard it into the trash can.
'Damn, I bought this especially for you.'
I know her proud princess temperament was acting up again.
Spotting this, the others were also giving me these half-smirks. Paul stepped forward. "Damn, did you offend this lady again?"
"Ah, being a deputy isn't easy," I sigh.
Grace covered her mouth, giggling, "Feeling wronged? Come to me, I'll comfort you."
I thought to myself, 'If it weren't for you, would I have to endure Lily's cold face?'
Of course, I couldn't say that.
I wondered if I should send a message to explain, but at that moment, Jenny walked in.
She was clad in a professional skirt, wearing white high heels on her feet, and her long legs were encased in nude stockings.
However, what caught everyone's attention was her radiant appearance - her fair skin had a rosy hue, and her eyes exuded vitality.
Many were left in awe.
The sound of swallowing saliva filled the room, and Paul was also surprised. "Wow, Ms. Smith looks different today; she's so beautiful! You can tell she was pampered last night. Who's the lucky person?"
Despite the insult, I felt a sense of satisfaction. I almost wanted to proudly declare that I had taken care of Jenny.
