"Ahh!"Daisy's scream pierced the air, her nails digging into her own flesh, the sharp pain a desperate bid for clarity.But what good did a shred of lucidity do when her body was ablaze with fever, her clothes soaked through with sweat, and her heart felt as though millions of ants were gnawing at her from the inside out? She moaned uncontrollably, a sound that filled her with shame and embarrassment. She tried to restrain herself, but her body wouldn't obey.Evan, hidden in the underbrush, found himself in a quandary. The idea of a heroic rescue was stirring, but in reality, it was fraught with difficulty.That Derek Walker was no pushover, and with several black-suited bodyguards in tow who looked like they knew how to handle themselves, it was no small feat.Not to mention, saving Daisy now would mean he had confronted the sons of two powerful figures—first Anthony Taylor, the mayor's son, and now Derek Walker, the district mayor's son.What if they joined forces in retaliation? W
Evan flared up in anger: "Get it straight, will you? If it weren't for me, you would've been violated by now!"As he finished speaking, he paused abruptly, a realization dawning on him, and he quickly examined his own body."When did the drug's effect wear off!""Whatever, it's over now, and the person is saved. Time to leave, goodbye!" Indifferent to Daisy's plight, he walked straight to the shore.Behind him, no sooner had he taken a step forward than Daisy suddenly began to sink."Damn it!" Evan plunged back into the water in response.Daisy, who had choked on a couple of mouthfuls of water, struggled instinctively and then grasped onto something. At the very moment she did, Evan, who was holding onto Daisy's waist, froze in place."Let go!" he barked in anger.Freed from the water's surface by his command, Daisy, shivering, immediately released her hold.Fortunately, her body was limp from the drug and lacked the strength to cling firmly, or Evan would have been in tears by now."
"Sure thing, Manager Hunt," the sales associates replied in unison."Hey, could you help me take a look at that blazer?" Evan, amused by Scott's charade, pointed at a British-style blazer and said to the sales associates with a smile, "That piece looks quite sharp. It would look handsome on me. Could you bring it down for me to try on?"One of the sales associates, with a sharp face resembling a fox, was about to leave. Hearing Evan's request, she paused and threw a mocking glance over her shoulder at Scott, "Sir, why don't you browse the other section? There’s a sale going on, and it's quite a bargain."However, the other sales associate, with a round face, quickly fetched a clothes pole, eager to assist Evan. A customer's request to try on clothes was commonplace. Even though the newly appointed Manager Hunt had just signaled not to attend to this particular customer, they were still a patron, and the employee handbook clearly stated that no customer should be neglected."What are y
5 minutes later.Seven or eight burly men pushed open the glass door of H&M, asking crudely, "May I ask if everything here needs to be packed up and moved out?""Packed up and moved out?"Vanessa had gone up to greet them, thinking there were customers she could snatch. But upon hearing this, she was utterly confused, "Who are you people? Our store is operating fine here, why does it need to be packed up and moved?""Oh, my mistake, didn't explain clearly."A dark-skinned brawny man walked out from the group of seven or eight people. He scratched his head and bellowed, "Just now a customer came to find us, asking us to move all the clothes here away. He said he's buying everything in this store."Gasp!As soon as he said this, it shocked everyone present!Not just the sales associates, even the customers on site were stunned motionless."Who is it, who's so generous to buy out the entire store?!""The clothes here are worth over $30 million. Who has so much money to buy everything?""
"Yes!"Hearing the woman say this, the gold-rimmed glasses man swiftly shut her door and sat in the front passenger seat, keeping silent.This was Isaac Robinson, marketing director of Clark Group's apparel department. And the woman was the renowned Chairwoman of Clark Group - Daisy Clark.The very same school belle that Evan had just saved half an hour ago in the hills behind campus!Life really is full of coincidences and surprises everywhere!After marketing director Brian Davis and regional manager Caleb Martin were also seated, Daisy removed her mask. With a stern face she asked, "So what exactly is this complaint about? Tell me the situation!"Caleb Martin quickly took over explaining, "There's a young man called Evan who came to our Lumina City branch to buy clothes. The store manager and a female sales associate looked down on him tremendously. So this Evan made a complaint call.""The situation isn't just that."Marketing director Brian Davis took over, continuing, "This youn
While Daisy and her inspection team rushed over, Scott Hunt had already started defending himself."What grounds do you have to complain about me?"Scott Hunt glanced at the customers in the store, signaling Vanessa to chase them out first. Then he stood before Evan, arguing slyly, "Did I stop you from buying clothes?"Watching customers getting kicked out one by one, Evan naturally knew Scott Hunt's intention - eliminating witnesses!After all, the inspection team wasn't here just to listen to Evan's side. Of course they wouldn't simply believe Scott Hunt either. Relevant evidence would be needed to make a judgment. Now with the witnesses gone, Evan lost a lethal weapon. Speaking of evidence, Evan looked up at the surveillance cameras in the store. He noticed another detail - the indicator lights had stayed off since he entered!Meaning the surveillance system had been manually turned off the moment he stepped foot in the store!This was exactly the same tactic used to frame Evan ba
"Not satisfied!"Evan pointed at Sofia, "She's very good. Truly treating customers as gods and knowing your company regulations perfectly. Doesn't such talent deserve some reward?""I see!" The corners of Daisy's lips curled up. She announced again, "Effective immediately, Sofia is appointed manager of the H&M boutique. Her appointment letter will arrive shortly!"However, when announcing Sofia as manager this time, an inexplicable sourness welled up in her heart. This sourness gradually revealed disappointment on her face."Mr. Smith, are you satisfied now?"Daisy carefully hid her disappointment and took out a name card from her wallet, saying to Evan, "This is my name card. Since you bought our entire store inventory, you're a major customer of our company. If you have any other opinions in the future, you can directly call my private number. Also, I'll have someone deliver the clothes you bought back for you.""No need, I called a moving company!"Evan didn't take her name card.
The next morning, before dawn had fully broken, an unfamiliar number called Evan's phone. "Hello, is this Bella's brother Evan? I'm her roommate Ava.""Yeah?" Evan mumbled sleepily, "I'm Evan, who's this?""..." Ava was silent for a while before responding, "I'm Ava. Bella gave me your number and said you're a good dancer. Our school is having a freshman welcome party and Bella got you a spot - you'll be my partner.""Hmm... don't listen to her, I can't dance. Anyway, gotta go back to sleep, I'm dead tired. Bye." Evan immediately hung up and drifted off again.But less than five minutes later, his sister Bella called: "Bro, show some ambition! I went through so much trouble to set you up with Ava, and you're trying to wheedle your way out again?""Bella?" Evan stirred slightly, eyes still closed. "Huh? What's going on? Ava? Set up? I'm confused."Even when angry, Bella's voice remained gentle. "Bro, you know we're starting at Elysia Film and TV University in a couple weeks. Our acting
