He canceled the team building, but found out that a woman didn’t go home either, instead she posted photos of having dinner with colleagues on Instagram.
Just then, I got a call from my friend, asking him to come out. When he arrived, I realized…
I was here to provide the jokes.
“It’s been such a long time, and you still haven’t won over your wife? I thought Mr. Swanson would be successful for sure, oh man, I really didn’t expect this…”
“So, hey, who was talking tough before?”
“Do you think Paulette would like him?”
“It’s just that…
The conversation wasn’t finished when a pillow came flying from the corner, Jeremiah said coldly, “That’s enough.”
Annabelle put down her wine glass on the table, casually picked up the pillow on the floor, and said softly, “They’re all laughing at you, but I’ve got your back. I’ll figure something out for you.”
Jeremiah glanced at her, “What way?”
“Color temptation.”

Enrique Davenport and Izayah Lozano smiled at each other, clinked glasses.
200 Your hers
Annabelle just arrived in Crireton this afternoon. They said they were all there to welcome her. Being the only lady in the group, no one dared to interrupt her when she spoke.
“I’m serious, look at your face, if you just smile a little, which woman can resist?”
“I couldn’t handle it.”
“You just took a shower, put on some women’s perfume, tsk… That Paulette girl must have been completely mesmerized by you.”
Enrique agreed, “I think it’s cool. If you casually show off your abs……. man, Jeremiah, I might not even be able to handle it, let alone women.”
Jeremiah:

…
There was not a single reliable one among these two.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finished the wine in his cup.
“He left.”
I got up and walked to the door, the voice behind me kept saying, “Hey, I’m serious, think about it. Otherwise, if you keep going like this, when will you finally win your wife over?”
Jeremiah waved his hand and didn’t look back.
Called a designated driver to take me home.
He leaned back in the back seat, raised one hand to his forehead, the back of his hand clearly showing the effects of alcohol.

“Seduction.”

Those two words popped back into my mind, and then it was all I could think about.
Jeremiah thought to himself, I actually became real, with a self- deprecating smile on his face. But… if being real can be useful, then why not give it a try.
I got back to the villa at half past eleven.
There was a light on at the entrance of the first floor.
His fiancee… gradually got used to leaving the light on for him.
Jeremiah casually took off his suit jacket and draped it over his arm as he got off the car and walked inside, his face showing a relaxed expression like a tired bird returning to its nest.
He thought Paulette had already gone to bed, but when he passed by her room upstairs, the door suddenly opened a crack. A sleepy–eyed woman stuck her head out, rubbed her eyes, and said, “You’re back? I bought a cake for you, do you still want to eat?”
Jeremiah paused, silent for two seconds.
It seems like he liked eating cake, but it’s hard to explain.
But in a way, it’s also a good thing, after all, who wouldn’t want their wife to remember a few preferences?
He gave a slight smile, “Eat.”
“I’m going to eat now, you keep sleeping.”
Paulette also tilted her head and smiled, then went in and closed the door.

Jeremiah stood there for a moment, his tongue sweeping over his palate. He wasn’t really a fan of sweets, but now he felt like having some cake.
Paulette was afraid that Jeremiah would forget, so she stayed up until he came back to sleep.
Thought he could have the leftovers for breakfast the next day, but when I woke up, there was only a cake box left on the table.
I really liked it a lot…
She paused for a moment, then shifted her gaze to the side.
Next to breakfast, there was a sticky note, with bold but not messy handwriting, very much in Jeremiah’s style: “There’s a morning meeting at the company, heat up something in the microwave if you’re hungry.”
She couldn’t help but smile and sat down to eat.
I went to the company, today’s regular meeting was still about discussing the quarterly design theme.
After it was over, Kaylyn took a few steps out and then came back,
casually saying, “Oh, by the way, tonight I have to attend a dinner for the marketing department, need two people… Cecilia, Paulette, you both don’t have much work on hand, come with me.”
