A long pause later, Serenity heard a soft sigh in the room. Jackson straightened up and looked at her with a helpless look in his beautiful eyes."Only you."She was the only one who could make him like this. Jackson longed for her to miss him, and only she would refuse to answer him. Even so, he could not do anything about it.Jackson seemed less and less like his old self whenever he was with her."Hey, help me dry my hair." Jackson handed her the towel he had used earlier.Serenity was stunned for a moment and stared blankly at him. Jackson leaned forward, his head close to her."What's wrong? Didn't you use to dry my hair when we were staying in the rented place?" Jackson asked with an arched eyebrow.'But that was different!' Serenity thought, her lips pursed. Nevertheless, she finally put the towel over his head and began to dry his wet hair. Serenity relaxed a little as the towel covered his face. Jackson behaved like an obedient puppy as she dried his hair. This moment

"Wait." Lucas stepped forward and grabbed her. "Are you angry? I didn't mean to belittle your current job."Serenity gave him an odd look. "I'm not angry." It was not worth getting angry at petty things like this or letting the anger drown her."If you want, I can get you another job," Lucas offered."Mr. Gomez, we aren't that close. You don't have to help with my career. I'm happy with my current job," Serenity said and glanced at his hand. "Can you let go of my hand? I'm rushing to make a delivery."Lucas's rich and black eyes stared at her. A moment later, he finally let go. 'We aren't that close?' Despite what she had said, he knew her better than she thought. He had learned about her past from early childhood to her adult life from Aria's word of mouth."Happy with your job now?" He suddenly let a soft chuckle. "Would someone who was a lawyer be happy with just being a delivery girl now?"A gloomy look flashed in Serenity's eyes. 'Someone who used to be a lawyer...' Her past

'Which means... Mr. Valor is yearning for Ms. Lewis' affection?' Connor thought and finally understood the situation. However, he was still astonished. When had Mr. Valor actually cared about a woman's feelings for him?!"Ms. Lewis has... suffered greatly. Having been through so many struggles, she'll probably see right through things. If you force your way to her, she may appear submissive but keep a greater distance in her heart."Connor suggested, "Ms. Lewis seems to be the soft type. It might be easier to persuade her with gentler ways. She may eventually feel comfortable enough to let her guard down.""So, am I supposed to please her to get her to like me?" Jackson murmured.Connor blinked, feeling a little frightened. He had only suggested that his boss soften his ways, not please her. 'B-but... If Mr. Valor is trying to impress a woman, isn't she going to be...'"But how am I supposed to please her?" Jackson asked.Connor's words got caught in his throat. Hearing Mr. Valor

Shortly after, the elevator arrived, and the person walking out of it just happened to be Lisa's neighbor. As soon as the neighbor saw her, she immediately greeted her, "Oh, you're home, Lisa! And this must be your boyfriend!"As the neighbor spoke, her eyes wandered toward Terry.Lisa was still in shock and did not know how to react, but Terry quickly answered the neighbor, "Yes, you're right. I'm Lisa's boyfriend.""Ah, looks like it won't be long before I get invited to your wedding!"The neighbor smiled before she hastily added, "Very well, then! Hurry up and take your boyfriend in, Lisa! Your mother's been nagging about it all day. She just can't wait to meet your boyfriend!"Lisa broke out into a sweat. Now she knew exactly why her neighbor thought Terry was her boyfriend the moment she saw him—her mother must have been announcing it to the world the whole day!They entered the elevator, and Lisa glanced at Terry only to see him staring at her with a half-smile on his face.

"I guess I can do whatever you want," Lisa said. After all, she had no money to offer him nor had anything else but her life to give."Okay," he said.She was stunned. Did he just... agree to her request? Was that not too easy?"How's your hand?" He asked as his gaze fell on Lisa's hand which was still held under the cold running water. "Does it still hurt?""Not anymore," she replied. "It's been under the running water for quite a while, so I think I should be fine now."He turned off the tap, pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, and used it to pat her hand dry."Is there any medicine in your house?" he asked. "Your hand is still a little red and swollen. I think we'd better apply some medicine on it.""Umm, I think there is.""Go get it, then."Lisa hurried to her own bedroom and quickly got the ointment for burns. It was only then that she suddenly realized what she was doing. Why had she been so obedient in following Terry's orders?!Still, she shook off the thought
