Sunny felt a sudden wave of affection. “Are you teasing me?”
Although he had been fantasizing a lot after having his first taste of a woman, he still respected Xante’s boundaries and did not
force her if she did not want to do it. Truth be told, they only ever did it once. He later pestered Xante repeatedly, but Xante never
allowed him to go further.
Xante hooked his shirt collar with one finger. “No. Sit still and buckle up. I’m bringing you back to my place.”
Sunny gulped. Like a child who was eager to get his reward, he fastened his seat belt and put on his best behavior. Xante could
not resist smiling when she saw that. An innocent puppy like him was much cuter than those unpredictable old hounds out there!
Life was short, so there was no reason not to enjoy oneself to the fullest. Even a cute puppy would grow up and find someone
better for it.
Back at the restaurant, Jeremy leaned against a stairwell wall while smoking a cigarette pensively.
Sophia quickly found him. She opened the door and walked in, saying, “What’s the matter, Jeremy? Are you trying to relieve your
worries alone with just a cigarette for company?”
Jeremy glanced at her and exhaled a puff of smoke. “I’m fine. You can leave.”
Sophia shook her head. “But I didn’t drive!”
“Tommy is outside. He can drive you.”
“No! I want to go with you!”
Jeremy had an insipid expression. “I’m heading back to the company, and I don’t have time to be with you.”Books Chapters Are

“I can go to the company with you and stay there,” Sophia offered. “The company will be moving to a new office building in a few
days, so I’ll help you clean up. There’s nothing for me to do anyway!”
“A secretary can do all that just fine.” Jeremy massages his temples. “You can’t come and go as you please in the company.”
Sophia frowned. “Are you tired of me now? Have you forgotten our agreement?”
The man seemed to remember something and felt a little helpless. “Do whatever you want.”
Sophia then smiled happily. “I knew you couldn’t bear to leave me alone!”

Two days later, the Holden Group moved to their new premises. All the major media companies arrived early in an attempt to get
their story out first.
Jeremy would almost certainly attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the relocation. His true appearance had never been
released on the internet, so the reporters were hoping to seize that opportunity to get a shot of Jeremy’s face. They would then
be able to post those photos because they acquired them through legitimate means. It would most certainly grab the headlines
on the front page!
The ceremony soon began, and a professional emcee had been hired to host the ceremony. The emcee came to the stage and
made some opening remarks before introducing each guest. The first few were the Holden Group’s partners, as well as several
other important shareholders. The reporters snapped pictures of them, but they were not very interested in any of those figures.
Their main priority was Jeremy.
Jeremy did not show up for a long time, but the emcee introduced another important guest—Moon, the designer of the Holden
Group’s new building!
