Bruce hurled for quite some time.
He couldn’t control himself. He can’t stop vomiting.
In the end, he curled himself into a ball. He almost threw up his guts.
Maureen felt speechless.
She wasn’t even sure if Bruce was taking revenge on her, and he didn’t want to see her happy.
Bruce showed up just when she was kissing Brandon, and he threw up?
Did she disgust him that much?
Brandon too stared at Bruce. His expression changed when he saw Bruce vomited.
A moment later, Bruce finally stopped vomiting.
He didn’t turn around to see Maureen and Brandon. Instead, he said, “Sorry for disturbing you. Please
continue whatever you’re doing.”
“…” How were they going to continue kissing?
Maureen felt disgusted.
Maureen furiously stared at Bruce, who staggered and rushed into the living hall of the villa. Bruce then
disappeared from Maureen and Brandon’s sight.
“It’s getting late. You should go home and rest,” Brandon smiled when he saw Maureen angry face.
“Bruce’s horoscope sign definitely clashes with mine!” Maureen was furious.
“Don’t mind him. You aren’t going to live with him forever anyway,” Brandon consoled Maureen.
“Brandon, I want to move out. I don’t want to stay under the same roof with Bruce,” Maureen suddenly
urged, “Let’s move to a place of our own.”
Brandon was stunned. He continued after a few seconds, “Won’t your father break your legs?”
“He won’t. He was stubborn, but he wouldn’t do anything to me,” Maureen held Brandon’s hand, “Don’t
you want to move in with me?”
“Silly,” Brandon stroked Maureen’s hair dearly, “I didn’t want to move in with you before getting married.
The upper-level society is a messed up world. I don’t want them to have anything bad to say about
you…”
“Then let’s get married!” Maureen was straightforward.
Brandon smiled and felt resigned, “Maureen, give me some time. I want to marry you with my
capabilities. I don’t want people to think that I’m depending on your family.”
“The opinion of the outsiders is that important to you?” Maureen felt ironic.
“I didn’t want you to feel aggrieved.”
“You don’t know what I want at all,” Maureen pushed Brandon away and turned around from him.
“Maureen,” Brandon held her hand, “I understand. I know you didn’t want to stay under the same roof
with Bruce, his mother and even your father. That’s why you would rather stay in the club than coming
home. I know you’re unhappy, but please give me some time. I will make a better future for us.”
Maureen felt sad and bit her lips.
But she said, “Alright, I will wait for you.”
She had been waiting for him for so many years.
Wait for him for another few years were negligible.
“Maureen, I love you,” Brandon said sincerely.
It was like Brandon was worried that Maureen was going to hold grudges, that’s why he confessed.
In fact, Brandon didn’t like to sweet-talk.
At the end of the day, Brandon was a soft spot for Maureen.
Maureen tried to control her emotions and said, “It’s getting late. You should go home now. You need to
go to work early tomorrow.”
“Sure,” Brandon smiled tenderly.
Maureen walked into the villa.
Every time Brandon would see Maureen into the house until she disappeared from his sight.
The moment Maureen disappeared from Brandon’s sight, Brandon’s smile faded. It even became a
cruel smile.
…
The next day…
Gianna quickly turned off her alarm clock the moment it rang, then got off the bed.
It was the first day of work. Gianna can’t be late.
So, she woke up early and quickly got showered, changed and dressed up. Then, Gianna headed
downstairs.
At the ground floor of Kingsley’s villa.
Raymond was cleaning the place. He quickly greeted Gianna when he saw he walking down the stairs,
“Madam.”
“Please call me Ms. Morris,” Gianna wasn’t used to being called a ‘Missus’.
“Master Kingsley wouldn’t let us.”
“…”
“Master Kingsley told me that it’s your first day of work today and asked me to prepare breakfast for
you. Do you want your breakfast to serve now?” Raymond asked politely.
“Sure, thanks,” Gianna smiled.
Sometimes, some little gestures Kingsley did move Gianna.
Gianna sat at the dining table.
A newspaper from this morning was placed on the dining table. It was read.
Gianna can’t help to wonder, “Kingsley woke up already?”
“Master Kingsley needed to catch a flight this morning.”
“Flight?” Gianna was curious, “Where to?”
“Master Kingsley didn’t inform us,” Raymond replied while he placed Gianna’s breakfast in front of her,
“But he asked me to inform Osborn to come to pick him up early in the morning.”
Gianna was unhappy.
Kingsley always left without saying anything.
“Enjoy your breakfast, Missus.”
“Thanks.”
Raymond then stood beside Gianna.
Gianna felt uncomfortable having Raymond stood beside her while eating, so she said, “Raymond,
please go ahead and continue whatever you’re doing before this. It’s not necessary to keep me
accompanied. I’ll call for you if I need anything.”
“Yes, Missus.”
Gianna then watched Raymond busy keeping the house while she had her breakfast.
Gianna wondered if Raymond was the only person keeping a house this big?
Wouldn’t it be too much for Raymond?
Gianna can’t help but wonder.
After Gianna finished her breakfast, she glanced at her watch and prepared to leave for work.
The moment Gianna stepped out of the house, she saw Raymond holding a stack of air tickets. She
was surprised, “It’s Kingsley’s?”
“Master Kingsley has to travel very frequently.”
“This frequent, huh?” Gianna frowned.
The stack contained at least twenty to thirty pieces of air tickets.
“Master Kingsley travelled quite a lot the past weeks for the wedding preparations,” Raymond
explained, “He usually doesn’t travel this frequent.”
Gianna pouted.
So, it meant Kingsley was putting his effort into preparing for the wedding?
It felt like Kingsley did that wasn’t to show off.
Gianna told herself to stop overthinking.
There was no need to demolish an affirmed opinion.
Gianna said, “I got to go, Raymond.”
“Drive safe, Missus.”
“Yeah.”
Gianna left.
Gianna was holding the key she took from the entryway. She headed to the garage and hopped into
the red Maserati car.
It was Kingsley’s pick for sure. The car looked like something Kingsley would pick.
But Gianna liked the car too.
Gianna parked the car in the Morris Group.
Then, she took a deep breath, chin up, and walked into the grand Morris Group lobby.
A colourful crystal chandelier hung on the rooftop of the lobby. The lobby was covered in warm yellow
lights. The clean marble tiles on the floor reflected lights from the chandelier and made them looked
crystal clear. The moment when people walked by in heels, the marble tiles produces a delightful
melody. An exquisite aquarium was set at a corner of the lobby. Extortionate aquatic animals in the
aquarium added a touch of vitality in the colour lobby.
The reception counter was painted in light gold, and it brought out the extravagance of the building. Six
pretty receptionists with perfect figures were wearing dark blue suits and were serving visitors and staff
with the highest standard of etiquette and good manners.
Gianna walked past them and headed to the secured entrance. It was a face recognition security
program.
Gianna easily gained access to the building.
A confident smiled appeared on Gianna’s cheek.
Gianna used to hide her talent and gave up the bright future ahead of her.
Now that she was reborn, she must rewrite her story!
