He stared at her condescendingly. âLina, I canât pretend nothing happened! You forced yourself on me last night. Are you trying to get away without taking any responsibility again?â
Her face instantly went red.
She knew that the word âagainâ referred to how she had a drunken passionate night with him and left the next day.
However, she later got together with him when he found her three years later. Now⦠she was not the same person she was, and he⦠was not the same person he was too!
Lina did not know how she walked out of Hadwin Stephensonâs mansion. She stumbled into a taxi and went back to the design office.
She worked as usual.
However, different thoughts clouded her mind.
A colleague exclaimed, âHuh? Lina, this outfit youâre wearing is from Xâs latest collection. Gosh, Iâve seen the clothes in a magazine, and theyâre worth over 300,000 bucks!â
Returning them to him herself meant she had to see him again!
Lina wanted to wail at the thought of this. It would be so awkward to see him again, but she⦠dared not throw clothes that cost hundreds of thousands of bucks into the trash can.
âItâs just one more time anyway. Iâm never letting myself get drunk again!â she told herself.
Hadwin Stephenson sat at his desk in the presidentâs office of Stephenson Group. He rubbed his fingers on a photo of a person who was seen smiling.
Hadwin Stephenson murmured, âLina⦠Tell me, is what Iâm going to do worth it?â
The office phone rang, and the secretaryâs voice sounded. âPresident, Miss Jackson wants to see you.â
âOkay, let her in,â Hadwin Stephenson said indifferently. There was no trace of surprise in his tone as if he had been expecting Katherine Jackson.
Katherine Jackson walked into the presidentâs office and saw Hadwin Stephenson sitting comfortably on the couch. He looked as composed and elegant as if everything was already under his control.
âHow could I have thought he was easy to handle?â Katherine Jackson orice again lamented for being so naïve.
