Love Together, Be With You Never

It occurred to me that, without Adrian's help, I wouldn't be able to fight back against Alicia and her daughter. Were it not for Adrian, Mr. Night would never write such a long statement for me, a nobody, not to mention restoring those pornographic photos and pointing out that these photos had been photoshopped.

It was beyond my power to make these restored photos and the statement a trending topic. Besides, I couldn't call Marlon over to watch this good show in such a timely manner, even though Marlon remained composed throughout the show. Alicia had many masks. For me, it was so much fun to take them off one by one.

"Adrian, thank you!" I said sincerely. If it weren't for Adrian, I would have been in a tricky situation. But now, with his help, all of this became easy.

"Rachael, I have a purpose in helping you!" Adrian smiled brilliantly. Only then did I realize that he actually had two cute and pointed protruding canine teeth. When he smiled, he looked particularly adorable. "What's it? Just tell me. I will do it as long as I can!"

"I want you to make me noodles often in the future!" Adrian said seriously.

I smiled, "Sure, anytime and anywhere, as long as you like it!" I promised. In this world, Adrian was the only person who was willing to help me without any condition.

Adrian talked something else with me, and then he said goodbye. Before leaving, he mischievously smiled at me and said, "Rachael, you're doomed!"

I had no idea what he meant.

Looking at Adrian's handsome back, I felt bitter inside. I had been afraid to face Kieran, not knowing what was waiting for me ahead. And Adrian, he was having fun to watch me suffer?

I took a deep breath and came to Kieran's office. Armand happened to be standing guard outside. At the sight of me, he said, "Ms. Cornell, take care of yourself!"

Now I was more nervous.

After taking another deep breath, I plucked up the courage to open the door. Kieran was standing by the window. The sunset shone through the giant glass and landed on Kieran's body, enveloping him.

A strange atmosphere pervaded the vast and quiet office. Kieran was like a god from the distant times, standing at the peak of the heaven quietly and lonely.

I couldn't help but be held spellbound while staring at Kieran's silhouette, forgetting what was going on.

Kieran slowly turned around. His eyes landed on me. In an instant, I was overwhelmed by intimidation. After I came to myself in fear, I dropped my head and greeted him with guilt, "Mr. Charles!"

Kieran didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to look up. Nonetheless, I could clearly feel a burning gaze falling on me. Needless to say, it was from Kieran. No one else could create such a strong oppressive feeling.

"Rachael!" Suddenly, Kieran spoke. His voice was calm and indifferent, but filled with a strong sense of awe.

I was shocked. I knew that Kieran was furious this time, because Kieran had never spoken to me in such a tone before. He was like a dignified and frozen god, who got angry and finally opened his eyes after staying silent for tens of thousands of years.

"When can you stop being so naïve and relying on others? You are useless!" Kieran's voice wasn't loud, but every single word was like a boulder as heavy as five hundred kilos, smashing my heart into pieces. Words failed me and my joy turned into ashes.

Kieran was right. When could I stop being so useless and relying on others?

If it weren't for Adrian, I would be in a sorry state.

I was tortured by upset. I looked down at my shoes. When was it?

"Rachael, what we have is a contractual relationship. Since you've damaged my reputation, you have to pay the price!" Kieran pronounced the verdict without any mercy.

I clenched my fists tightly. "Mr. Charles, I'm listening!"

"I'll inform you of the punishment later!" After Kieran finished speaking, he turned around again and the cold aura forced me to leave.

"Got it, Mr. Charles!" I didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurried out. Under the killing pressure, I felt that I would collapse any moment. I had to leave.

"If things like this happen again, you won't be able to see the sun the next day!" Just as I was about to open the door and leave, Kieran's cold voice came from behind. I was greatly shocked, and got sieged by unmeasurable fear. I made a promise immediately, and then fled in a panic.

Watching me flee, Armand shook his head, as if the road ahead was much more challenging.

In fact, there was indeed a much more difficult road ahead. I had forgotten what kind of person Kieran was before I set foot on this journey. I had been acting with him during this period, and mistook it as real sometimes.

Kieran was a cruel, bloodthirsty and heartless person, much more terrifying than the King of Hell. He would never become a friend. No, we would never be on equal terms.

He was an unattainable and incomparably noble God, who controlled my destiny!

I calmed down in contemplation, examining myself and my future.

Kieran said was correct. I should change myself!

Suppressing all my emotions, I went back to the office. It was almost time to get off work. Everyone was packing their belongings and getting ready to go home. A question occurred to me suddenly. Marlon showed up because Adrian and I had planned out beforehand. But why did Kieran show up? Was it a coincidence?

However, my intuition told me that things were not that simple. Someone must have told Kieran about the pornographic photos. That explained why Kieran showed up.

Just as I was pondering, Everly walked out with an LV bag. In exquisite high heels, she was ready to got off work.

"Hi, Ms. Everly." I happened to block Everly's path and looked at her with a smile.

"Get lost!" Everly put on a cold look while facing me.

I played with my fingers and said leisurely, "Ms. Everly, you do have short memories. I cannot believe you have forgotten what had happened!"

When the colleagues who were packing their belongings and ready to leave work saw this, they immediately stopped and peeked at us, expecting to watch the show.

"I said get out of my way!" Everly repeated impatiently.

I sneered and said coldly, "Everly, don't you have any manners? Or do you think that everybody else in this company means nothing to you and that we are supposed to be at your service? Do you know that, in Country C, your arrogance says pretty much about your family?"

"What are you talking about?" Everly was instantly enraged.
