Roxanne gently pushed away his big hand, tilting her head slightly backward. “Harrison, I'm still doing my face mask. Quit horsing around! Besides, you just got back; you haven't even taken a shower yet.”
But actually, Harrison had already taken a shower at the group office.
He continued to kiss her adorable earlobe.
He gently whispered, “I took a shower at the company.”
“How did you take a shower at the company?”
Roxanne turned her head in confusion, looking at him.
“Does your company have a place to bathe?”
“Yeah.” Harrison kissed her hair and answered, “I worked out in the gym for an hour, sweated a ton, and took a shower on the side.”
Their company was a Fortune 500 company.
Not only did they have a gym in the group building, but also a year-round heated swimming pool.
Harrison continued to lie, “Any employee of our company can go to the gym to work out once they finish their work, even the janitors, let alone us coders. Our boss encourages us to exercise more.”
Roxanne responded, “Your boss must be so considerate; knowing that you, coders, are sitting in front of computers all day, it's not good for your health, so he set up a gym for you guys.”
Harrison replied, “I told you before, not only is our group's big boss a great guy, but he also spoils his wife.”
Roxanne asked, “Have you ever seen your group's big boss?”
Has he seen him?
Everyday.
He sees him countless times in the mirror every morning when he brushes his teeth and washes his face.
But he could not tell Roxanne that.
He reached out and tore off the mask from Roxanne's face, saying, “No mask today; let's continue.”
Doing a face mask would take her at least half an hour.
He had been missing her all day. He couldn't wait for another half an hour.
The mask he tore off was thrown into the trash can.
He gently hooked her waist and carried her to the bed.
She was already an adult, but he held her in his arms as easily as if she were a doll.
“You worked out all day and still have such good arm strength?”
Roxanne, lying on the bed, was carefully pressed under him.
He gave a slight smile and said, “Not only do I have good arm strength, but also good waist strength.”
“You're such a pervert!” Roxanne laughed.
Harrison was about to kiss her again.
Roxanne dodged and glared at him with a smile, saying, “Harrison, you've changed. What happened to your restraint?”
“Why do I need restraint when I have such a beautiful wife?” He joked in response.
He could even give up his dignity, as long as he had his wife.
His fingers had already landed on the neckline of Roxanne's dress. He unbuttoned her dress, revealing her delicate skin.
Harrison couldn't help but swallow hard. He looked at her affectionately. He had never met someone as beautiful and pure as her.
Compared to such a lowly woman as Hazel, she was a rare gem.
Meeting her must have used up all his luck.
“Anne, I really wish I had met you earlier.”
“Why are you talking so sweetly?”
When they just got married, he wasn't like that.
Back then, he was really cold.
As Harrison continued to unbutton her pajamas, his eyes were clearly filled with passion.
Roxanne was busy stopping him, “Harrison, let me wash my face. I just did a face mask; my face is still sticky.”
She immediately got up to wash her face.
Harrison was already waiting for her at the bathroom door.
When she came back, he swept her off her feet.
When they came back to the bed, the floor was a mess.
On that moonlit night, Harrison and Roxanne spent a passionate and intoxicating night.
It was a kind of intoxicating joy.
In the end, Roxanne lay in Harrison's arms, tired like a little kitten.
It was already late at night.
Even in the big city, the noise from outside the window had faded.
The night became quiet and beautiful.
Roxanne, who had just been crying in Harrison's arms, was then too tired to make a sound.
“Just like this, and you're tired?” Harrison stroked Roxanne's head.
Roxanne didn't answer; she just gently rubbed her head against him. She meant for him not to disturb her sleep. She was really tired out by him.
At that, Harrison let out a sexy, low chuckle.
Just then she was screaming, and a few minutes later, she was completely silent.
It seemed like she was really tired.
He originally wanted to talk about some intimate topics with her in the middle of the night.
Forget it; let her get a good night's sleep.
The next day.
The autumn wind was bleak.
The previous night, Hazel, who was not satisfied with Alexander, went to the Langley family to find Dean.
She waited for Dean in front of his car for two hours.
Finally, Dean showed up.
Seeing him, she stood up from in front of the car door, and tears immediately welled up, “Dean!”
She cried, not forgetting to rub her legs, “I've been waiting for you all night; my legs are numb.”
Hazel continued to cry, and her tears kept falling.
Dean was annoyed watching her and said, “Quit bothering me. Do you think I'm as stupid as Alexander to marry someone like you?”
“But…” Hazel felt very wronged; her tears kept falling, “You clearly said that all these years, you've never been able to forget me. You said that no matter what kind of woman you meet, you'll think of me.”
“You really thought I was serious?” Dean sneered, “Do you think I want to talk to you like this? If it wasn't for Harrison looking for me, I wouldn't even bother looking at you.”
Hazel's eyes widened, “Was it Harrison who asked you to get close to me?”
So, that was a plot, a plot by Harrison.
Was she set up by Harrison?
“Stay away from me.” Dean pushed her away, “I just washed my car yesterday; don't dirty my car.”
That woman was truly disgusting.
Dean was in a hurry to meet Harrison. He didn't want to deal with her anymore.
Dean waited for Harrison at the Rodriguez Group building for most of the day. But they wouldn't let him in.
It was really hard to see Harrison. Unless Harrison actively looked for him.
Just like a few days ago when Harrison found Dean, saying they needed to discuss some business.
Dean was trying to sweet-talk Hazel, smooth things over, and pull the wool over her eyes so she'd fall for him again and dump Alexander.
Once he pulled it off, Dean would get what he wanted.
But after the deed was done, Harrison decided to back out.
Dean was determined to go find Harrison and explain.
Before he could even get to Harrison, he spotted Harrison getting into a Rolls Royce from afar.
Dean immediately hopped into his car and tailed him.
Harrison was just chilling in his car.
His bodyguard, Jack, called him, "Mr. Harrison, some car's tailing you. Looks like Dean's ride."
Harrison took a quick glance at his rear-view mirror.
Sure enough, a car was following not too far behind.
He casually said, "You handle it."
"Sure thing."
Half a minute later.
Bam!
He insisted on taking her to the place he booked.
Chloe also followed them in.
While Harrison was ordering, Chloe whispered, "Anne, does Harrison get a big bonus?"
Roxanne looked at Harrison, who was ordering, and said, "I don't know why people in the IT industry make so much money; he often brings home bonuses of twenty or thirty thousand. Sometimes the bonuses can be as high as hundreds of thousands."
In fact, that was just the pocket money Harrison gave Roxanne.
He lied and said it was a bonus.
That was just to gradually get her used to the fact that he was the richest man, so she wouldn't be unable to accept it in the future.
Chloe was also shocked, "People in the IT industry can make so much money? I have a classmate who's also in IT; he's a manager and only makes sixty to seventy thousand a month. Is your Harrison really that awesome?"
Roxanne and Chloe were chatting, "Harrison once told me that he used to be a big shot in the IT industry before he started his own business, raking in a hefty salary every month. He wanted to earn more, so he ventured into business. But he isn't exactly a business-savvy guy; he lost all the money he made previously."
Chloe responded, "Then you should advise Harrison to stick to being a top dog in the IT industry. With such a high salary and bonuses, there's no need for him to risk doing business. Business is always hit or miss. It's not stable."
Roxanne said, "Don't worry, Harrison doesn't want to risk doing business anymore. He said he just wanted to give me a stable life. I'm already pretty satisfied with our income now."
Harrison sometimes gave her bonuses worth tens of thousands, which was more than what she made from doing business.
While they were chatting, Harrison had already ordered the food.
When the dishes were served, the waiter gave a detailed introduction for each one.
Roxanne and Chloe were trying such expensive food for the first time; they didn't expect these ordinary-looking dishes to be so pricey!
The dishes that followed were even more of a shock to them.
Every dish that was served was exquisite, but the portions were extraordinarily small.
The last thing that was served was wine.
Harrison poured them some wine, then introduced it, "This is a 12-year-old single malt from Loch Romane; it has won many international competitions. It has a strong malt aroma, as well as the scent of citrus and flowers, and a smooth and balanced taste."
He pushed the poured wine towards them, and Harrison politely offered, "Ladies, have a taste."
Roxanne didn't know much about wine.
But she knew a bit about food, "Harrison, the portions here are small, and the prices are high."
She preferred ordinary restaurants more.
Three people could eat till they're full and satisfied without spending too much.
Harrison laughed, saying, "Just giving you a taste."
"A taste of what?"
"The atmosphere!"
The high consumption of the upper class was actually about enjoying the atmosphere.
He was Harrison, the boss of the Rodriguez Group.
He couldn't always take Roxanne to places like roadside food carts.
Of course, if Roxanne wanted to eat at a food cart, he would be more than happy to accompany her.
But after revealing his identity, his status would inevitably require him to frequent high-end places. He wanted Roxanne to get used to it in advance.
Roxanne looked at Harrison, feeling that he was a bit strange, "Why do I feel like you've suddenly become a rich man? And you seem to be quite familiar with these high-end consumption places."
Harrison continued his fabrication, casually serving Roxanne some food, saying, "I used to frequent these places before I went bankrupt."
"Harrison. Don't go back to your old habits of extravagant spending just because you've been getting more bonuses recently. Let's just leave it at this for now." Roxanne glared at him, "We still need to be thrifty in the future. People always need to have some savings; we can't spend as much as we earn. Besides, we're going to have to raise children in the future. Raising a child requires a lot of money. We have to save."
Harrison answered, "I got it. I'll listen to you."
Chloe was snickering on the side, feeling very content.
Roxanne had really found a good husband.
After dinner, Harrison paid the bill and left with the two of them.
Coincidentally, they ran into Dean, who was also dining at that restaurant.
From about a dozen meters away, Dean walked over, angrily accusing, "Harrison, what's the meaning of this? Avoiding me? Are you trying to back out? When are you going to fulfill your promise?"
Dean reached Harrison, Roxanne, and Chloe.
Harrison frowned calmly.
Dean was fuming, "I've dealt with that villain from the Dawson family for you; where's the thing you promised?"
"Let's talk outside." Harrison's face turned cold.
Dean glanced at the woman beside Harrison, her hand resting on his arm.
Harrison had never brought a girlfriend before, but Dean heard from Hazel that he was married. Dean then realized and said, "I get it now; this must be the poor wife Hazel mentioned, who you married discreetly? It seems Hazel..."
