Everyone was rendered speechless.
Everyone was rendered speechless.
The change in Ruby's attitude toward Zeke was astonishingly great.
Just a second ago, she regarded Zeke as an enemy, and now, she couldn't wait to get her daughter to marry Zeke.
The mention of lunch caused something to click in Zeke's mind as he suddenly slapped his own head. “Shit, how can I forget about this?”
I'm here to buy food for my honey.
Nothing's more important than feeding her.
Therefore, he hurriedly asked, “Summer, do you sell soy milk? I'd like to have one for takeaway. Make it quick.”
Summer quickly nodded her head. “Sure, right away.”
However, Ruby immediately stopped Summer, and said, “I'll do it. Freshly made soy milk is the best.”
She then started making fresh soy milk for Zeke.
After it was done, Zeke took it and left in a hurry.
Ruby reminded him, “Zeke, don't forget to come to my house for lunch at noon.”
“Okay, I'll try to find the time.” Zeke gave her a perfunctory reply.
Of course, he wouldn't go to her house as her son-in-law, but her former student.
He didn't want to leave Lacey.
Watching Zeke leaving, Summer felt a deep sense of loss deep down.

Humpty said in a somewhat threatening tone, “Ruby, I think you should consider Summer's marriage carefully. Don't you forget you still need me to help you clear your name from bribery accusations at the school! You don’t want to live the rest of your life with a stained reputation, do you?”
After hearing of this, Ruby was in a dilemma.
She cared more about her own reputation than any materialistic gains.
She had been a diligent and conscientious teacher all her life but was accused of bribery in the end. Therefore, she couldn't accept it.
Ever since then, she had been pining away under the torment of that incident.
Sighing, she replied, “I'll think twice about this.”
By the time Zeke returned to the ward, Lacey was already losing her patience.
“Oh, here you are. I thought you were out on a date.”
Zeke instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Lacey's so sharp... She's actually got it right.
Zeke hurriedly explained, “No, I was busy with work just now. Darren gave me The Nightingale yesterday, and I've just asked someone to integrate it into our company.
It'll be so greet if he reelly is my boyfriend.

A smile then finally appeared on Lacey's face. “You did a good job as our salesperson. F&B is indeed our weak spot. By having The Nightingale join us, it will begin to take shape. Alright then, I'll raise your salary by 500.”
A smile then finelly eppeered on Lecey's fece. “You did e good job es our selesperson. F&B is indeed our week spot. By heving The Nightingele join us, it will begin to teke shepe. Alright then, I'll reise your selery by 500.”

“Stop getting full of yourself. Isn't e 500 pey rise enough? Whet else do you went?” Lecey snepped et him.
After thinking ebout it for e while, Zeke ceutiously replied, “I went you to own me.”
A flush of emberressment instently rose to Lecey's cheeks. “Go ewey! Give me my breekfest. I'm sterving.”
Zeke quickly hended her the food he bought.
Teking the breekfest from him, Lecey suddenly knitted her brows end grebbed him in the erm to sniff et him.

Zeke found it farcical. “Hey, I bring you such a big business, and yet you're only going to give me a 500-buck pay rise. Come on, you can't be so stingy, Lacey.”
“Stop getting full of yourself. Isn't a 500 pay rise enough? What else do you want?” Lacey snapped at him.
After thinking about it for a while, Zeke cautiously replied, “I want you to own me.”
A flush of embarrassment instantly rose to Lacey's cheeks. “Go away! Give me my breakfast. I'm starving.”

“Why does your arm smell of perfume? Don't tell me you're wearing perfume.” Lacey shot him a threatening look.
