"Bruce did get first place in the exam last month," Donna said while eating."I didn't expect that boy to get first place in the exam." Emma could not believe it. That woman also graduated from the same school. So, Emma knew very well what image the first place would have.But their expressions immediately stiffened when the two brothers looked at each other. Then, they quietly lowered their heads and continued eating.Half a minute later, Bruce came out of the bathroom. This time, he did not sit at the dining table. Bruce took a few slices of bread on the table, put a few dishes on his plate, and moved his chair a few metres away from the Agnesia sisters."I can't even eat breakfast in peace. I can't mess with you guys, so I guess I'll stay away." Bruce ate his bread.After Emma finished her soup, she refilled her bowl with soup from the pot next to her."I didn't expect your cooking to be this good."Usually, Emma's meal portions ar
SWOOSH!The following day, it was still raining heavily outside. Emma woke up to a strange noise and suddenly opened her eyes."Damn it. How can I sleep so soundly in a strange man's house? If that man has a grudge against her, my sister and I will both suffer."Emma looked at the chair Bruce was sitting on last night, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes. Bruce's chair was empty.Meanwhile, Donna was still lying silently on the bed with a faint smile. Emma looked in the direction the sound was coming from. It was coming from the kitchen.SNIF!Emma's stomach rumbled, and her face suddenly turned red.As a professional woman, Emma highly valued etiquette, and it was embarrassing for her stomach to make such sounds. But eventually, the aroma that gradually filled the air made her feel hungry.Emma removed the blanket from her body and placed it on the chair. She tiptoed towards the kitchen.In the kitchen, Emma sa
When Bruce and Emma returned to the house, Donna was lying on the bed and staring at the two."Well, I've already convinced your brother. As long as you win first place in the competition next month, you can continue doing what you like with peace of mind," Bruce said with a smile.Donna looked at her brother with an incredulous look. Donna knew very well about her sister's character. The things Emma had decided would not change easily, nor would she go back on her word. Their parents even had to seek advice from her sister regarding making decisions at home."But, I want to add one condition. Donna's exam results last month were inferior. This time, Donna must rank in the parallel top ten, or the deal is cancelled." Emma insisted with a grim face.Donna's expression changed, and she was about to reply to her brother's words but was stopped by Bruce."Agreed. This deal is irreversible. You are Donna's older sister, so I think you should be the one
It is an internal matter of Donna's family. Bruce shouldn't have interfered. But, since there was a task from the system, Bruce couldn't help but interfere with her problems. If Bruce wanted Donna to be able to participate in the competition with peace of mind, his family problems had to be solved first."Okay, so, Emma..." Standing by the corridor window, Bruce looked at Emma, who was indifferent."Call me Miss Agnesia." Emma looked at Bruce contemptuously because what happened just now made Emma feel disgusted with the man."Hmm. Well, then, I'll call you Miss Agnesia. So, I am Donna's classmate. We sit at the same table. I want to talk to you about your sister."As soon as Bruce finished speaking, Emma turned around and walked away towards the room."I'm sorry. I have nothing to talk to you about, my sister. I'm warning you, don't come near my sister again!""If you come in now, I'll tell Donna about your serious illness, Miss Agnesia. I
"Where's Donna?" Someone rushed in."Wait a minute, who are you?" Bruce hurriedly reached out and pulled the woman who rushed into his residence.It's cold. A cold wave hit him.Bruce looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. He felt a piercing chill from this woman.It was not the usual cold that one feels when wet in the rain, but the cold that one feels when touching ice or snow in winter. Bruce had medical skills, so he knew this very well."Where's Donna?" The woman struggled to break the grip of Bruce's hand. But how could a woman break away from Bruce, who had a Soldier profile?Realising he couldn't let her go, the woman turned around and shouted at Bruce, "Let go of me!"Bruce was surprised when he saw the woman. The woman's skin was white as snow and crystal clear. Her long and beautiful black hair was slightly wet, flowing over her shoulders.The woman was wearing a black uniform jacket with a white shirt underneath. Due to the rain, the white shirt was soaked and lo
Donna felt something flowing in her mouth. A faint scent wafted at the tip of her nose, and she felt herself leaning on a big shoulder that gave her a warm and peaceful feeling.Donna slowly opened her eyes, only to see a faint figure before her. Bruce held the fragrant soup in his hand, gently putting it into Donna's mouth with a spoon."Are you awake? Eat this soup. Look, I added eight medicinal herb mixtures and cooked it for a few hours before it was ready."A familiar voice. Donna's retinas began to clear slowly, and her face turned red the next moment. The person in front of her was none other than her deskmate, Bruce Waylen. Donna was leaning on Bruce's arm while being fed soup."Why is your face red again? Please don't get a fever again!" Bruce frowned and touched Donna's forehead.Donna was dumbfounded. Only at this moment did Donna notice the strange surroundings. It was dark outside, and there was the sound of heavy rain."Where a
[System mission: Bring Donna Agnesia home and take care of her. Reward: Three Expertise Points. Punishment: The owner will be in a coma for one year.]Bruce gritted his teeth. This cursed system always showed unexplained missions at critical moments."Sir, just cancel it. Please go straight to the housing estate in Flower Area," Bruce shouted at the driver before him.The driver saw through the rear-view mirror that Donna had suddenly fainted. The man asked anxiously, "What's wrong with your friend? Is she sick? If something happens to my car, you'll have to take responsibility. I think you'd better get out of the car."Bruce's face became glum. He took out some banknotes from the pocket of his wet school uniform and threw them on the passenger seat."Take this money. I want you to take us to the housing estate in Flower Area right now."The driver looked greedily at the money. He swallowed and stepped on the accelerator. The car travelled fast on a rainy night while Bruce watched Don
Due to Alison's request, Bruce and Donna stood together and took a picture. For some reason, Bruce felt that despite Donna's reluctance, Donna listened to Alison's words."And... it's done. You two look good together! Are you sure you're not lovers?" Alison smiled at the photo on the mobile phone.Bruce and Donna came with curiosity. Now even they were dumbfounded. Bruce finally knew why those people admired him: the man in the photo looked handsome. It wasn't because Bruce was arrogant.In the past, Bruce thought he was just a little handsome, but now he didn't expect Bruce to look like a dashing boy wearing this white coat with a bit of wet hair and slightly pale cheeks.Together with Donna, they looked like a prince and princess in an ancient story. The expressions on their faces are unnatural.Seeing himself in the photo, Bruce was a little embarrassed. Bruce changed the topic and asked, "Donna, what were you talking to Alison about just now?"<
