Byran was taken aback âIda, are are you pulling my leg?â
He didnât fully understand these matters yet, but he knew it was important to respect a girlâs wishes. If ida wasnât willing, he wouldnât push it.
In fact, theyâd only had one intimate encounter, after which he had been the one pursuing Ida, but she didnât let him score each time.
Ida lightly hooked her fingers around his shirt collar. Iâm not joking, sit tight and buckle up. Iâm taking you homeâ
Byran swallowed as he obediently sai and buckled up like a kid about to get a reward After seeing his expression, Ida couldnât help but laugh. He was way more adorable than those scheming men.
Life was brief, so she needed to seize the day.
Otherwise, who knew when Byran might figure out love and find the girl who really suited him Elsewhere Theo was smoking in the stairwell of a restaurant, his face grave as he was lost in thought Sophia found him easily. She pushed the door open. Whatâs up? Smoking alone again?â
Theo glanced at her while exhaling a puff of smoke âNothing, you go aheadâ
Sophia shook her head. âBut I donât have a car.â
âCollinâs outside, heâll take you homeâ
âNo, I want to go with you!â
Theoâs expression was indifferent. âI have to go back to the office, I dont have time to accompany you.â
Sophia didnât care. âI can go back to the office with you. Were moving to a new building in a few days, so I can help you pack up since I donât have anything else to do.â
âThe secretaries will handle that, you shouldnât just wander around the officeâ
Sophia frowned. âTheo, youâre being mean to me again. Did you forget our agreement?
Something seemed to occur to Thea. He replied somewhat helplessly âSuit yourself Sophia burst into laughter. âI knew it! You canât resist me.â
Two days later The Blanchet Corporation moved into their new office building All the major media had arrived early at the scene, hoping to be the first to report the story.
The Blanchet Corporation was moving, and its president would surely attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. His photo had never been published online, so if they could take a picture of Mr. Blanchet at this opportunity, they could publish it, guaranteeing a front-page headline.
The ceremony started quickly, with professional host officiating. She gave the opening remarks, then started introducing the important quests.
The first few were partners and major shareholders of the Blanchet Corporation. The journalists took pictures, but they werenât very interested. They were all waiting for Mr. Blanchetâs entrance.
Mr. Blanchet was yet to make an appearance, but the host then introduced another important quest.
The designer of the new office building. Moon, stepped onto the stage.
