In the hospital, I endured the painful rash on
my neck while working.
く
I was about to finish my IV drip when I
received a call from my brother, as expected.
The man on the other end of the phone
chuckled. “Juniper, you lost.”
Six years ago, I was in a car accident when I
returned home to attend a friend’s party.
Trapped in the car, Foster rescued me at the
risk of his own life.
Since then, I fell in love with him at first sight,
hopelessly.
After graduating, I decided to stay in the
country despite my family’s objections.
<
I was willing to work as Foster’s secretary at
his company, taking care of him.
My brother had always disliked him and didn’t
believe in our love.
But I was obsessed with him and couldn’t
listen to any advice.
So I confidently made a bet with my brother.
We bet that Foster wouldn’t fall in love with
someone else within seven years.
If he lost, he would give me ten percent of the
equity as a dowry.
く
If I lost, I would listen to him and go home for
blind dates.
This time, Foster’s proposal went viral, and it
was hard for my brother not to know.
My relationship with Foster ended in the sixth
year.
I accepted my defeat, paused, and replied.
“Yeah, I’ll fly back for blind dates after my
trip in three days.”
That night, when I dragged my tired body
back to the hotel.
<
I saw Foster in my room.
The company came to Colmar for team
building, and my colleagues and I stayed in a
hotel.
Foster, who was a neat freak, lived alone in
his estate.
Hearing movement at the door.
The man asked coldly without looking up,
“Where did you go?”
Taking off my shoes, I casually replied,
“Nowhere.”
<
I didn’t elaborate, and Foster didn’t care.
He casually handed over a pink gift box.
“Skyler picked this gift for you. See how
sensible she is.”
“Handle the trending news as soon as
possible.”
“Don’t affect her reputation. She can’t be
stimulated now.”
I opened the gift box and saw a green
preserved flower.
If I remembered correctly.
く
Foster sent her ninety–nine different colored
flowers yesterday.
Skyler complained in her WeChat moments
that the green one was the ugliest.
As a result, Foster turned around and gave it
to me today.
I said ‘Mmm‘ indifferently and put it aside
without saying anything else.
Foster noticed that my mood was off and
explained it.
“Are you angry? I really don’t have anything
with Skyler…”
L
As he walked closer, I was assaulted by the
smell of alcohol.
Mixed with Skyler’s favorite jasmine perfume.
I glanced at the red marks on his collar under
his messy clothes.
I pushed him away imperceptibly, pretending
to get water.
I answered first, “I know. You and her have
nothing to do with each other.”
I paused and added, “I’m not angry.”
I’d already memorized his answer.
<
Every time he left me for Skyler, he would
explain it this way.
“She’s just a friend. If there was something
between us, it would have happened already.”
But Foster exploded when he heard my
words.
His brows furrowed impatiently.
He asked in a cold voice, “Then what’s your
attitude now?”
“Knowing that there’s nothing going on,
you’re still giving me attitude?”
I was a little helpless.
Was he giving me attitude just because I
didn’t agree with him?
Taking a deep breath, I was about to speak.
His phone rang with Skyler’s exclusive
ringtone.
Foster glared at me and turned to answer the
phone gently.
“Foster, I suddenly feel a little
uncomfortable.”
“Con wo

“Can you come and see me and take me to
the hospital?”
“Okay, you wait for me. I’ll be right there!”
With that, Foster had already walked to the
door.
As he was about to open the door, he
stopped to look at me.
“There’s a problem with the collaboration. I
have to go deal with it now.”
“You go to sleep first tonight. You don’t have
to wait for me.”
Without waiting for my renly he grabbed his

Without waiting for my reply, he grabbed his
coat and left in a hurry.
