The year I was most desperate and cornered, Julian Vance spent $50,000 to buy me, becoming my benefactor from then on. Later when I first awakened to love and confessed to him, he didn't agree nor refuse, just asked me meaningfully: "You want to stay by my side forever? Then you have to prove your value." For this sentence, I worked like a horse for him, thinking I could eventually move him. But later, I heard him mocking me to others with my own ears: "Country girls are just easy to fool." "$50,000 isn't even enough to buy a bag for other women, yet it can make her work for me dead set." "Tell me, isn't it funny?" Chapter 1 Morning when I went to the office, I met several colleagues on the way. They greeted me familiarly, some bold ones even smilingly called me "Julian's Little Wifey". I forced down the upturned corner of my mouth, pretending nothing happened and waved to them. Turned a corner in the corridor, arrived in front of the CEO's office. ——My footsteps stopped abruptly. Julian was actually already here. He smiling yet not smiling let me close the door. I did it apprehensively, just walked in front of him, heard him chuckle lightly. "Little Wifey?" My heart missed a beat suddenly. He indeed heard it. Julian stood up from the chair, dusted his coat, slowly walked towards me. Until, forced me to the door edge. "You've been with me for a few years, right? No wonder they call you that, so many women come and go around me, only you stayed the longest." He said while slowly leaning down towards me. My heart beat like a drum, almost couldn't breathe. But he only lightly pinched my face. "So hot? Wren, what are you thinking?" Finished speaking, Julian pulled me away from the door directly. He leisurely entered the corridor, instantly restoring the meticulous look at work. "Organize the documents on my desk, send to the conference room in five minutes, today I personally handle the spokesperson signing." After Julian left, I took several deep breaths, frantic heart then slowly calmed down. He is always like this—— Give me a little hope, watch me helpless. Then unhesitatingly throw me away. Chapter 2 The matter of signing a spokesperson had long been buzzing in the whole company. Because the one Julian wanted to sign was no other, but the top flow Zara who had been in the limelight for the past two years. Zara debuted for many years, dramas she filmed either couldn't pass censorship, or were hastily taken down because co-actors flopped. Anyway in these years, she didn't even have a representative work to show. But starting last year, she seemed to suddenly turn lucky, accumulated inventory all released. After exploding two dramas and a movie consecutively, she thoroughly brushed a familiar face in front of everyone. Julian finding her as spokesperson is understandable. But I always couldn't help remembering a certain dinner party before, I followed Julian step by step blocking wine for him. A starlet came over to strike up a conversation, volunteering to be Julian's spokesperson. At that time Julian didn't even clink glasses with her, just coldly answered: "Sorry, our company doesn't need this kind of thing." How come now, changed mind? After Zara signed all contracts, Julian gave me a look, I hurried forward, took the pen. Just wanted to retreat, but Zara's lazy voice rang in my ear. "You are the 'Little Wifey' they call?" My hand stiffened, looked up at her at a loss. Zara's sight circled on my face, seemed very interested. "Heard your parents wanted to sell you for $5,000 to treat your brother's illness? Afraid you run, even stripped your clothes and tied you at home? Is this true or fake?" The conference room suddenly lost sound. I was like a fish suddenly caught ashore, under everyone's shocked or sympathetic gaze, dazed and embarrassed, almost suffocated. Good while, I then found my own voice. "You, joking, what joke..." "Sigh——" Zara sighed a long breath, "Really hard to believe it's the 21st century, still have such feudal terrible places." "Then how did you run out finally, just happened to meet Mr. Vance?" Her red lips opened and closed, seemed just curious. But shattered my dignity and decency accumulated so hard for so many years thoroughly. My head only left buzzing sound. "Is it you told her?" I looked at Julian, voice hoarse almost strange. His brows gradually frowned. "Why did you tell her? You clearly promised me! What right do you have to tell her!" Finished shouting like venting, then saw Julian's face gloomy terrible. He let everyone leave, himself also picked up coat stood up. "Did I spoil you too much usually? So that you can't place your position clear?" My throat dry painful, couldn't make sound. Julian asked again: "Is it?" "I was just slip of tongue after drinking, is it necessary for you?" My heart hurt like being split by axe and chiseled by knife. How could he say like this? We clearly agreed. This matter is my bottom line. Zara watched aside for a while, then walked forward holding my hand. "My fault my fault, are you okay sister? I just wanted to care about you, didn't expect said wrong words, also didn't expect passed so long, you still care so much." "Don't mind her." Julian opened the door, sideways gave way to Zara: "You go first." Then screwing brows looking at me, sneered. "You reflect well, wait till learned how to talk to superior, then come find me chat." Chapter 3 After everyone left, I was like pumped away all strength, fiercely paralyzed on the ground. Those deliberately hidden memories rushed like flood, soaking my heart sour and unbearable. I don't know how long I sat like this. Until, a slow door opening sound broke my painful memory. "That... are you okay?" Ben and I are both Julian's assistants. Before today, he never knew my background. At this moment, expression also appeared somewhat awkward. He walked to my side, tentatively handed me a tissue. "How about I take you to rooftop blow wind?" I didn't move, whole person like a piece of wood lost life. Ben racked his brains to comfort me. "Really don't think too much, things all passed, right?" I showed a miserable smile. Really can pass? Afraid in another hour, whole company people will know this matter. My bitterly hidden secret, just in such unexpected occasion, poked out by people easily. Estimate seeing my face too gray defeated, Ben also somewhat anxious. "You must not drill bull horn tip (obsess), even more don't punish yourself with others' mistake, those rotten people definitely will get karma..." People always like this, can resist everything when alone. But when someone comforts, all emotions start tooverturn mountains and seas. I finally couldn't hold anymore, covered face sobbing. Ben at a loss for a good while, finally patted my shoulder. "Sigh, all passed, really don't think..." While he spoke, conference room door was pushed open again. My eyes teary blurry, couldn't see comer clearly, only could hear that voice full of sarcasm. "Wren, I said why your work efficiency so low recently, turns out only caring about being lovey-dovey with man." Ben supported me straight, panic looked back. Julian's voice however more deep, carrying gloomy chill. "And you, what relationship she has with me you don't know?" "What, superior's position you want sit, superior's woman you also want sleep?" Chapter 4 Julian this person always moody. But this is the first time, he used such ugly words to humiliate me. Also humiliated an innocent colleague who just wanted to comfort me. I quickly wiped tears, pulled Ben behind. "Mr. Vance, you misunderstood." Julian heard words, sneered again. If usual, I would have lowered head admitted mistake long ago. But now, under huge impact, I seem became not me. "If you feel my work efficiency low, scold me alone is fine." "Also... what relationship are we Mr. Vance? How I don't know, I have other relationship with you besides superior and subordinate?" Julian's eyes completely cold down. "I underestimated you, Wren, your wings hard now, dare talk back to me right? Forgot how you knelt at my feet back then, begging me save you?" Julian's words left no face at all. Almost instantly brought me back to that humiliating evening. That time I bit broken rope ran out, body only randomly draped a picked up plastic bag. Just like this body not covered ran stumbling to town, met Julian who came to donate school. He suit leather shoes, shoes spotless, incompatible with everything gray in small town. I like grabbing life saving straw knelt on ground, begged him save me. Julian that time looked at me with interest, didn't nod also didn't shake head. Others all treated me as crazy, desperately wanted drive me away. But I didn't care. I bit teeth, dead hugging Julian's leg, crying begged him: "You help me, my grades very good, I grow up definitely will repay you..." Later, Julian let people release me, put coat on me. I apprehensively sat in his car, afraid he regret. But heard driver said: "You really walked eight lifetimes luck met Mr. Vance, students Mr. Vance sponsored not hundred, also have thousand." That day, after Julian let people check clear my family matter, told my dad, he wanted to buy me. My dad eyes rolled a circle, showed a 5. "I don't know you, sell acquaintance $5,000, sell you need $25,000!" Julian lighting cigarette chuckled: "I give you $50,000, how about it?" My dad ecstatic. For a almost isolated small mountain village, $50,000 is already a huge sum. Just like this, I was "bought" by Julian. He let people take me to open bank card, put a living fee inside, just like this, stuffed me into some boarding school.
