Peter's assistant welcomed Yvonne with a smile as she got out of the car. "Ms. Y, Mr. Bowie's been in a terrible mood for the past few days. He finally smiled when he found out you were coming. But I'm sure you know his temper, and he's probably going to pretend not to care in front of you," he warned before leading Yvonne into the mansion.Peter had been watching the two enter the mansion from his floor-to-ceiling windows. He hadn't seen Yvonne in a long time. He'd always been waiting for her to cave in, but he'd never expected her to be even more stubborn than him!Peter was just lamenting about it when he heard Yvonne call out to him. "Mr. Bowie!"He stiffened and pursed his smiling lips hard, forcing down the smile as he looked at Yvonne with a stern face. He scoffed curtly.Yvonne smiled and approached him. "Are you still mad at me? It's been so long! Why are you still so petty?""Me? Petty?" Peter's eyes widened. "Back then, I'd already informed the higher-ups that I'd bring
After entering Peter's mansion, Katie handed her gifts to the servants, who'd notified her that Peter was working on his perfume in his studio.She gently stepped into the studio, walking over to Peter. "Mr. Peter, are you—""Wait for me to finish." Peter didn't even look up. He waved his hand, asking Katie to step backward.Katie took a few steps back. After sizing up her surroundings, her gaze fell on Peter once more. Peter was one of the oldest staff members in Muguet. His authority was only second to that of the big boss.In the early years, Peter had created a few of Muguet's most famous perfumes. The other executives had been researching marketing, and he was the only one who'd focused on perfumery.Some of the people in the office had privately said that he was an arrogant person and very hard to work with, so no one wanted to make friends with him.Katie finally realized it at that moment. This was her first time meeting Peter after returning to the country. She didn't kn
When Yvonne received news of the stock prices rising, her first thought was Stephen. After all, Stephen was the only one foolish enough to waste his limitless funds; no one else would do such a thing at this moment.Yvonne returned to Oceania Villa and headed directly for the study room. She pushed the door open and asked, "Why are you doing this?"Stephen placed his book down and looked at Yvonne. "Is there a problem?"If Miller Jewels stock prices hadn't gone back up, even the influence of public opinion alone could cause huge cancellations of pre-orders.Then who the hell would go to see the product launch? Stephen leaned back and said relaxedly, "If I hadn't saved the stock prices, you would be looking at the calendar and choosing the dates to close up shop. Or are you saying that, besides my solution, you have other ideas?"Yvonne was struck dumb and had no comeback. Since the morning of the stock price's nosedive, she'd been in the meeting room for an emergency meeting wit
At Oceania Villa, Yvonne had just taken a shower and was lying in bed, video-calling Rachel as she put a mask on.Rachel was bored on set, so she was knitting a sweater while chatting with Yvonne. Yvonne found it interesting. "Why are you knitting a sweater on such a hot day?""This is a gift for Dexter!" Rachel showed Yvonne the sweater. "I'm missing a hem, and it'll be done! How is it? Does it look nice?"Yvonne looked at it closely before commenting objectively, "The collar could be wider, the length of the sleeves could be more uniform, and if the color could be more—""Okay, okay. If you continue, I'll have to undo everything and redo it once more." Rachel hugged the sweater happily. "It’s the thought that counts. You won't know anything about it. By the way, have you prepared a Valentine's Day gift? What does Stephen want? I'm sure you must be stumped on what to give him, right?"The moment she finished her question, Rachel saw a perplexed look on Yvonne's face. It looked as
At Anderson Group Tower, Katie had tried every means to get in before she finally managed to get a chance to see Stephen.The moment she entered his office, she saw him sitting on the couch. Outside the window, the sunset cast a glow on the bustling city, as if they were all bowing before Stephen, making him look authoritative.Katie's heart was beating wildly, and she stood still.Stephen furrowed his brows in displeasure, causing Katie to come to her senses. She frantically walked over to the one-seater couch next to Stephen and sat down. Then she handed Stephen the collaboration project proposal with both hands."This is the situation of Muguet's sales in the country, as well as collaborations with hotels—""I can read for myself." Stephen took the proposal and flipped through it, clearly not willing to talk to her.Katie smiled awkwardly and patiently waited for him to finish reading. Stephen skimmed through it. Within five minutes, he'd flipped to the last page. Katie took
Although it was a working day on Wednesday, the atmosphere was thick with romance.All these years, Yvonne had been alone; she'd never thought much about special occasions and was even quite against romantic traditions.However, ever since she'd woken up today, she'd been looking forward to it. Upon closer reflection, perhaps it was because this was her first time celebrating Valentine's Day.She got off work on time that day. At the parking lot, she casually placed her gift on the passenger seat before sending a message to Stephen.Last night, she'd already arranged to have dinner with Stephen at 7.30 pm today. They'd agreed that she would pick the restaurant. Stephen had been very accommodating and only told her to send him the address before she left for the restaurant.Yvonne had asked her assistant to look for the most luxurious restaurant. She was prepared to lose money that night.She sent the location to Stephen, and he soon replied, "Okay."On the other hand, at Anderso
After dinner, Yvonne went to the ladies' room while Stephen waited for her.Kayla noticed Yvonne leaving and made an excuse to head to the ladies' room as well. Xavier understood what she was trying to do, but he didn't stop her.Up until that day, he would still fume in rage at the thought of the hickey on Yvonne's neck when he'd gone to see her at Oceania Villa after his engagement.After that day, he'd promised his grandfather to marry Kayla, denying that he'd ever been interested in Yvonne.However, seeing the two of them there that day, he couldn't help but think about her once more. He never would have thought that Yvonne would make him miss her for that long.In the ladies' room, Yvonne was by the sink, watching Kayla in the mirror as she approached her."Who would have thought that you had it in you?" Kayla looked at Yvonne through the mirror and smiled condescendingly, saying, "With your ugly looks, you could still bag a man. Look at how slutty you're dressed. You're cle
There were fireworks by the riverside across Moonlight Hill every Valentine's Day. Naturally, Moonlight Hill had become the best spot to view the fireworks, which was why so many people had gathered there.Stephen held Yvonne's hand and walked past the crowd, heading for the top of the hill. Due to the differences in their status, Yvonne often found it unreal to spend time with Stephen. At that moment, walking among the crowd, she finally felt like it was real.She looked up at his back and smiled widely without realizing it. They had been together for almost three months. Although it hadn't exactly been delightful, she'd never regretted her decision to marry Stephen.She didn't believe in love, nor did she think that she'd fall for Stephen. She only felt that he was right for her. He was a great partner in crime, which was why she wasn't against this way of living.Soon, they reached the observation deck halfway up Moonlight Hill. Usually, the observation deck was open to the publ
