My best friend said she wanted to see some abs, so she dragged me to the basketball court. As soon as I sat down, a basketball came flying at me, which I caught with one hand. I shot a disdainful smile at the court and casually tossed the ball, which went straight into the hoop. "Hey kids, make sure to hold onto the ball! If you hit the big sisters, you might get a spanking!" One little guy with abs ran over and said, "Sister, can I add you on WhatsApp after the spanking?" Feeling playful, I replied, "You can add me on WhatsApp, but you have to get spanked first." Without thinking, the little guy stuck out his butt and lit up the WhatsApp QR code. That night, I received a WhatsApp message: "You touched my butt, so you're mine. How about being my girlfriend?" I laughed and replied, "Don't fall for me, I'm very expensive!" Unexpectedly, a week later, the head of HR personally brought the little guy to my office: "Manager Shen, he will be your responsibility from now on. Take good care of him!" The little guy loosened his tie and said, "Let's discuss the price."
My bestie, Melina Nash, said she wanted to see some abs of the men, so she dragged me to the basketball court.
As soon as we sat down, a basketball came flying towards us, and I caught it with one hand.
I sneered contemptuously at the players on the court and then casually tossed the basketball, which landed perfectly in the hoop.
"Hey, men, be careful with the ball! If you accidentally hit us, you'll get a spanking!"
A young man with abs approached and said, "Beautiful lady, if I get spanked, can I add you on Whatsapp?"
I jokingly said on purpose, "Sure, but adding me on Whatsapp means getting more beatings."
Without hesitation, he leaned towards me and flashed his Whatsapp QR code while jutting out his buttocks.
That evening, I received a message on Whatsapp, "Since you touched my ass, I'm yours now. How about I become your boyfriend?"
I laughed, "Don't fall for me, I'm high maintenance!"
Unexpectedly, a week later, the HR manager personally brought the young man to my office and said, "Ms. Dale, he's your subordinate now. Take good care of him!"
The young man loosened his tie, then said, "Let's talk terms, shall we?"

A few days ago, there were rumors that the heir of Hall Group was coming to work as a junior employee in the marketing department for some grassroots experience.
Everyone knew it was just a formality, and in a year or so, he'd likely be promoted to the manager of the marketing department.
The marketing department had five teams, and everyone was speculating which team the heir of Hall Group would join. The result would be revealed tomorrow morning.
"That youngster hasn't given up yet. Why don't you accept him?" Melina teased me early in the morning.
I glared at her and said, "Why don't you accept him? Dating a young man isn't my idea of fun."
This all started when Melina insisted on dragging me to the basketball court on the nice Saturday afternoon.
She claimed that she was tired of seeing her husband's pot belly and had forgotten what a man with abs looked like.
That was when the young man with abs latched onto me, flirting with me on Whatsapp every day, asking me to be his girlfriend.
I never thought that I, someone who had never been attracted to men, would end up being pursued relentlessly by a young man.
I must refuse decisively!
I didn't want to be in a childish relationship while dealing with the mess he had made outside.
02
Everyone in the office was excited early in the morning.
"Did you see him? The heir of Hall Group is absolutely stunning!"
"Yeah, he's even more handsome than Mr. Hall. I wish he'd join our team."
"If he joins us, I'd work around the clock!"
I shook my head with a smile and headed straight to my office.
"Demi, Mr. Harding wants to see you in his office."
From Melina's mischievous grin, I already knew the heir of Hall Group had joined my team.
"Hey, stop exaggerating your laughter."
"I can't, I just can't!" Melina's smile grew even brighter.
Then, I was taken aback. The one sitting on the HR manager's office sofa was the persistent young man who had been pestering me.
"Demi, you're here. Let me introduce him to you. This is Mr. Hall's son, Brodie Hall. He's in your team now, take good care of him!"
"Brodie, this is your supervisor, Demi Dale, Ms. Dale."
Brodie smiled happily and extended his hand, "Ms. Dale, nice to meet you."
I managed a weak smile and awkwardly shook his hand, cursing internally. You told me your name was Brodie Hall, but you didn't mention you were Caleb Hall's son!
03
I took him back to my office, locked the door and pulled down the blinds, then asked him bluntly, "What are you doing here?"
"To work, of course." Brodie casually found a chair and sat down, looking up at me obediently.
"Then why do you join my team?"
"Ms. Dale, your performance has always been unmatched. If you had the choice, would you pick someone else?"
That was true. My performance was always something others could only dream of achieving.
Brodie suddenly stood up, loosened his tie at the collarbone, and walked towards me step by step until I was backed against the desk.
"Demi, let's talk terms, shall we?"
"What... what terms?"
He showed me his phone, the screen displaying our chat history.
"I like you, be my girlfriend."
"Don't fall for me, I'm high maintenance!"
I picked up the notebook on the desk and tapped it on his head, "What terms? Let's go to the meeting!"
"Ah, a meeting already? I just got here!"
"Yes, yes, yes, because you are the heir of Hall Group!"
Today was the first day of July, the start of a new week, and the beginning of the second half of the year.
It was a day of meetings, and it didn't end until 7 p.m.
I went back to my office to gather my things and was about to head home.
Then I saw Brodie slouched against the doorframe, "Ms. Dale, mind giving me a ride home?"
The child who was clearly born from my belly has no blood relation to me at all. Do you believe it? I don't believe it either! However, the paternity test report in front of me stabbed into my eyes like a knife, piercing my heart and forcing me to accept the truth!
"I never thought I would assist in the birth of my husband's lover's child."

I never expected that the daughter of the nanny I sponsored for her education would be having an affair with my "phoenix man" husband, mocking me as a boring old woman while sleeping in my big bed. They caused me to have a miscarriage and are plotting to take my house and swallow my company. I am carefully planning my counterattack, digging one pit after another for this pair of scoundrels, so they can jump in themselves. I want them to understand just how great the consequences of betraying me will be!
Once by chance, I discovered that my husband had two phones, and one of them contained secrets I was not allowed to touch. In that phone, he and his mistress were like a family, while I was just a pig waiting to be slaughtered. They had prepared a trap for me, wanting to take everything I had and leave me with nothing. When a woman no longer talks to you about feelings, it's hard to say who the real loser will be in the end.
