"So, this is the reason why you're so determined to teach Harvey a lesson?" Jared asked as he shot
Nicole a glance.
Following a short pause, Nicole admitted, "Yes. We can only enjoy our peace of mind once he has
been completely subdued."
A glint of amusement crossed Jared's eyes when he heard those words. He knew that the current
situation with Ellison Group and the executives was already a massive blow dealt to Harvey, but it
seemed to him that Nicole and the others had no plans to stop at that just yet. If anything, there was
more in store for Harvey. She was far from done with him.
Nicole smiled, embraced Jared's arm, and leaned on his shoulder. As far as her feud with Harvey was
concerned, she just hoped it would end soon and consider it another one of her issues settled.
Meanwhile, Stanley and Tia had already returned home.
After getting out of the car, Stanley accompanied Tia as she staggered her way to the house at the
back.
Tia's hands and feet were wobbly and flailing after one too many drinks, and she did not seem to be
able to walk on her own.
Then Tia, owing to her impaired vision and judgment, tripped over a rock. "Ah!"
"Be careful!"
Caught off guard and unprepared, Stanley lost his balance attempting to stop Tia from falling, and the
both of them tumbled onto the lawn.
"Ugh," Stanley groaned.
He had managed to catch Tia, but not without tipping over himself.
Tia's forehead landed on Stanley's chest, causing a pang of pain to radiate to the rest of her head. The C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
resultant pounding in her head made her open her eyes drowsily, and upon lifting her head, Stanley's
face was the first thing she saw. In fact, his face was so close that she could almost feel his breath.
Tia then fumbled around and reached out to touch Stanley's eyebrows and eyes while murmuring, "Am
I dreaming?
"It must be a dream. If not, how could something like this be happening?" Tia laughed in self
deprecation. 'I'd never dare to approach Stanley unless I'm in a dream. Besides, I'm so close to him
now. So close that I'm even hugging him.'
Concerned, Stanley asked, "Are you alright?"
Tia continued to stare at Stanley, and touched his face. "It's so good to dream about you."
Stanley paused for a moment before he came to understand what Tia was mumbling about.
He issued a sigh of defeat, held Tia's hand, and softly murmured, "It's not a dream."
"Is it not a dream?" Tia asked in complete puzzlement. "If it's not a dream, how could we be together?"
She could not conceive that something like this was happening in real time. To her, it was simply not
possible for them to be so close, let alone be in a position where they were essentially hugging each
other.
After breathing another sigh, Stanley gently ruffled Tia's hair.
"I swear it's not a dream."
"Are you sure?" Tia asked, tilting her head in disbelief.
"Of course. Now, let's get up," Stanley said.
Stanley did not feel that Tia was too heavy, even though she was pressing against him. However, he
needed to restrain himself from acting out of his thoughts at the moment, especially with Tia, who was
in a state of inebriated dizziness and confusion. Her literally being on top of him had caused a bunch of
wild thoughts to race in his mind.
After looking up and down, Tia blinked her eyes and came to realize how embarrassing the situation
was. 'Oh my gosh! How did I end up laying on him!'
"What are you looking at? Get up now," Stanley ordered, suppressing his thoughts.
"Oh, okay," Tia replied.
She hurriedly scrambled to her feet and balanced herself on Stanley's sturdy arms.
Her hands on his chest had indeed caused his mind to go up in a frenzy. He was frowning at the fact
that she had stirred something within her, and what followed was a pained and conflicted look on his
face.
Stanley sighed in relief after Tia got up. Following her lead, he stood up as well.
