Chapter 1009
Felicity smirked as she heard his voice message. She replied: [Other than just filling my stomach, I also want to live a
comfortable life, okay?]
Vermont chuckled after hearing what she said. He said: [I'll come with you when you quit your job then.]
Felicity responded: [Don't be silly. I'm going to resign. Do you think this is a game? How could I bring you with me?]
Vermont leaned on the sofa and said in a relaxed manner: [When you bring the CEO of Green Hill Media with you, other people
will only think that you left the old company for a better future. Your new boss values you so much that he even came with you to
resign. What about your manager who always took advantage of you? I just can't imagine the look on his face when he sees this.
Don't you want to prove something to him?]
Felicity was immediately convinced.
Over the years, Felicity had suffered a lot working under that manager of hers. He was an idiot who did not know anything, yet
he could always come up with a new way to make his subordinates' jobs difficult and take credit for their work. Felicity felt a little
angry knowing that she would not have a chance to get back at him after quitting her job.
So, she figured that bringing Vermont with her... was not necessarily a bad thing.
However, Felicity was a lot smarter now after what happened previously. So, she sent another voice message, asking, [I'm sure
that you won't suddenly help me for nothing. Tell me, what's your motive?]
Vermont sighed. [That's so hurtful. What kind of person am I to you? I'm just kind, okay?]
Felicity chuckled and replied: [You're the type of person who would yank a leg off a fly that buzzed by. So, why would you offer
me unconditional help?]
Vermont was speechless. He then said: [Don't you have any other way to describe me? Why did you have to use such a gross
example?]
Felicity replied in a righteous manner. [My lecturer said a good literary work should be relatable and down-to-earth. Fly is a very
common insect in our lives, so it's an analogy that anyone can understand.]
Vermont kept quiet as he thought, 'I have no idea how she graduated from university. I can't believe that she's a certified
scriptwriter.1
Felicity said: [Don't change the topic. Quick, tell me what you want in return.

Vermont recollected himself. Then, he said after thinking for a moment: [I can't think of anything yet. I'll let you know once I do.]
Felicity sent another voice message: [That'll do. However, I'm not going to accept your help if it's something unreasonable.]
Vermont laughed and said: [What do you consider unreasonable? I've got to at least have a concept in mind. Otherwise, you’re
just going to reject everything I propose, and it's not going to be fair for me.]
Felicity thought for a moment and said: [You can't make me look ugly, cook, and...]
She paused before continuing: [Or anything that requires intimate contact between us.]
Vermont paused and said: [What do you mean by... intimate contact?]
Felicity thought about the kiss last night. She could not help but blush and her heart beat in a strange rhythm.
Then, she cleared her throat and said softly: [Basically, we're not going to do anything that friends wouldn't do!]
Vermont was confused. [What things friends wouldn't do?]
Felicity was speechless. She said: [Things that you did to me yesterday!]
Vermont sent another voice message: [Oh, you meant kissing?]
Felicity corrected him: [Kissing without consent that is!]
Vermont smirked: [I sacrificed myself so that you could enjoy the privilege of having a boyfriend, yet you're not happy about it?]
Felicity's mouth twitched: (It's not funny! I'm being very kind to regard that as kissing without consent because it could also be
seen as harassment! You could literally get arrested if you did that to someone else!]
Vermont asked: [Have you thought of calling the cops on me?]
Felicity was hesitated before she argued: [I'm being very kind to you. You're Keegan's friend, after all. I don't want to put Stella in
an awkward position after I called the cops on you, but-]
Suddenly, her tone changed as she warned Vermont: [Don't ever do that again!]
'I've already kissed her anyway. Nobody knows what's going to happen in the future.' Vermont said to himself.
He curled his lips, thinking about the kiss last night. He sent the voice message: [Are you still coming over to play games
tonight?]
