"Then I want to take charge.""Good, you will be on top, under no one but above me."Gale's face flushed. That sounded really wrong. How could he suggest such a thing?"Shawn!" She slapped away his hand, lingering on her cheek, "Be serious!"He looked at the red mark on the back of his hand from her slap, "Whether Joshua calls me daddy or not doesn't matter to me. I can wait. Besides, I am his father, and that's a fact."He had become used to Joshua calling him Shawn.Shawn raised an eyebrow. "Besides, after returning toTemperley Hall, he began to be inexplicably attentive to me. This morning, he helped me with my briefcase, carried documents, and opened the car door for me."Gale was speechless.She could imagine Joshua's bootlicking Shawn!At this rate... Wait, would Joshua be siding with Shawn just because of that spaceship thing?If she had known, she would not have told Shawn about what Joshua liked."What does he want exactly? Gale, do you know?" Shawn asked.She answ

"No, no. Gale, you know, when I see Mr. Wood, I get nervous, even flustered. I can't even make eye contact with him. Fiona is Mr. Wood's personal secretary; when I see her, I get just as nervous and flustered! It is impossible, not to mention she is a girl!" Peach quickly refused."I haven't said anything yet.""But that's what you mean!"Gale nodded. "Yes, exactly. You and Fiona get along well, you know each other inside out. What if it actually works out?"Peach shook her head vigorously. "No need, no need. It is inappropriate, not a chance!"Gale suppressed a laugh, playing more with the idea of teasing her.Gale understood why Shawn liked to tease her for no reason. It turned out it was quite amusing to tease someone and observe their reactions.Of course, Gale could not possibly try to match Fiona and Peach. Peach's heart belonged to Sam, and she knew that. She just mentioned Fiona to make a point."Peach, you haven't really spent time with Fiona. How can you be sure it's

"No changes. I'm surprised you still remember." Gale replied. "We've been friends for almost twenty years, from elementary school to college graduation. How could I forget your preferences and habits?"However, sitting face to face and having a calm and peaceful conversation was actually quite rare. So many people drift apart as life goes by. Sam just smiled and sipped his tea. He had matured a lot; he was no longer the impulsive young man he used to be. Gale looked at herself again; she had changed too. She became quiet and gentle, with a motherly and nurturing aura.They had gone through so much; who could maintain their original appearance?"How have you been lately? I want to hear the truth," Gale asked."Very good, really good. I know you've been doing well too." Sam heard about Gale from the news, gossip, and the whispers in high society. She had two children, shares in the Wood Group, and is married to Shawn. She was the envy of the whole city.However, Gale did not

"At the end of the year, we will be changing the spokesperson for Lovito. Who do you think will become the new global spokesperson for the brand?""Is it going to be a male or female celebrity?""I don't know. It's not something we can decide.""I remember Summer really likes...""Oh, Summer has to decide on this, or Gale will have the final say."They were whispering, but Gale heard them.The spokesperson for Lovito? Her eyes darted around, and she immediately had a candidate in mind! A good spokesperson would boost jewellery sales and represent the brand image. So, Gale thought of a female celebrity, Ivy Park.She was stunning, with delicate features. She had a commanding presence and did not give off an innocent, helpless vibe. She was the queen of product endorsements as a double award-winning actress with millions of fans. The clothes and bags she wore became bestsellers.Ivy Park had not been in the entertainment industry for just two years. In this short time, she had ac

Lulu was determined to give Gale a taste of her own medicine. Lulu walked up to Gale and arrogantly asked, "Do you know who I am?"Gale nodded. "Of course, Lulu. I've seen your TV dramas. They are quite terrible. You lack acting skills and a poor command of dialogue. You've been heavily criticized online. You are mentally resilient to be able to endure all that. If it were me, I would have left the entertainment industry long ago, enrolled in an acting class to improve my skills.""How I act is none of your business. I came to Wood Group today because Mr. Wood invited me to sign a contract. I am the next spokesperson for Lovito!""Oh, are you sure you are signing that spokesperson contract?"Confidently, Lulu nodded. "Of course!"She was a current star, backed by the top agency in the entertainment industry, with abundant resources and connections. She could even meet Mr. Wood. Securing the spokesperson position was surely in the bag."Too bad Shawn can't sign you. Given your tem
