"You can take me to the hospital for a test." She looked fearless, "I am definitely experiencing this for the first time, clean and honest."
"The first time selling, charging this sum, it's not cheap."
He handed her a check. Seeing the stamp on the check, she knew it was real, so she accepted it.
"Mr. Green, we did it so many times last night without birth control. You better send someone to the pharmacy to buy emergency contraception. Getting pregnant wouldn't be good and would cause trouble for both you and me."
Jacob was surprised upon hearing that.
She knew his status; if she didn't remind him, he would surely forget. If she got pregnant with his child, whether to keep it or not, he'd give her more money. Doesn't she understand this logic?
"I never thought you'd have such professional ethics."
"Of course, no matter what industry you're in, you must have professional ethics." She smiled slightly.
Thinking about her past life, she suddenly felt endlessly sorrowful. In this life, she vowed not to have even half a relationship with him again.
He immediately called Nathaniel Green, his subordinate, while waiting for the contraception to arrive. She dressed and sent a text to James Foster.
After receiving her text, James Foster's calls quickly bombarded her.
She pressed the answer key, and James Foster's roar immediately came from the other end of the line, "Lucy Eaton, what kind of fiasco is this? I waited for you all night. Did you deliver my clothes to outer space?"
"Which room are you in? I'll come find you quickly."
Only then did James Foster report his room number to her.
Hanging up the phone, a sarcastic voice came from behind, "So quick to book the second client again?"
Lucy Eaton laughed, "Yes, youth meals are not tasty. The more clients, the more money to earn for retirement. The money from you can't last a lifetime."
Jacob Green's gaze fell on her, her neckline was open, with quite a few hickeys from last night. He unconsciously looked away.
In just over ten minutes, Nathaniel Green arrived, bringing the contraceptive pills.
In front of him, she took them directly.
As soon as she finished taking them, the doorbell rang.
In her past life, around this time as well, Grace Hughes and Stellan Quinn appeared at the door.
Thinking about it now, it must have been Grace's plan failing. After much thought, she brought Stellan along.
After all, she wasn't Jacob Green's secretary now, coming alone wouldn't be appropriate.
Although Stellan wasn't Jacob Green's girlfriend at this time, Jacob had already confessed his love to her. She just hadn't accepted yet.
Jacob signaled Nathaniel Green to check, but Lucy Eaton reached out to stop him, calmly fastening her coat buttons while saying, "No need to check, it's definitely Grace Hughes. Let your subordinate pretend to be my boyfriend, and you handle the hotel's surveillance afterwards to avoid misunderstandings favorable to you."
Saying this, she picked up the bag containing the clothes, and arm in arm with Nathaniel Green, they went to open the door.
Sure enough, Grace Hughes and Stellan Quinn stood at the door.
Nathaniel Green spoke expressionlessly, "So it's Mr. Quinn and Ms. Hughes. Young Master drank too much last night at a social event and stayed at the hotel. He just woke up."
Stellan looked at the two of them arm in arm, hesitantly asking, "Is she... your girlfriend?"
"Yes, I was originally going to take her to work, but was called here by the Young Master early in the morning, so we came together. The Young Master is inside, you can go in. I'll take my girlfriend to work."
Stellan nodded, her face instantly looking much better, and went in with Grace Hughes.
...
Once in the elevator, she pressed the floor for James Foster's room, giving Nathaniel Green a smile, "Thank you very much for your cooperation."
"No need to thank me, I'm just doing it for our Young Master."
She nodded slightly, saying no more.
The elevator stopped, and she went out alone, heading straight to James Foster's room door, reaching out to press the doorbell.
Seconds later, the door opened, and James Foster stood there with a towel around his waist, "Finally, you're here."
She tossed the bag in her hand at him, walking inside as she said, "You've really got a nerve now, meeting a female net friend only to be robbed of your wallet and phone, not to mention losing your clothes."
"That woman was afraid I'd put on clothes and find her."
"Did you report it to the police?"
"No." James Foster pulled off the towel, wearing boxers and starting to dress, "I only lost a little over a thousand dollars and my ID card in the wallet, the phone isn't worth much. Minor loss, no need to waste police resources, learn from it."
Lucy Eaton glanced at him, "I thought she wouldn't leave you with anything, surprised she left you the basics."
"I was wearing it to shower, after all, it's the first meeting, can't go naked, not very good."
"You've already arranged a meeting with a female netizen at a hotel, don't tell me you weren't prepared to be in the buff together? Actually..." Lucy Eaton looked at him intently as she said, "I came to this hotel last night..."
"Then why are you only coming to me now?"
"It's because the front desk didn't inform me of your room number. As soon as I entered the hotel, I was led by a staff member into a presidential suite..." She finally told him what happened last night.
After listening, James Foster felt both regret and self-blame. If he hadn't met the female netizen and been tricked, he wouldn't have made her deliver clothes, so she wouldn't have...
"Lucy, I'm sorry."
Lucy Eaton looked at him to see his eyes were red, went up, patting him slightly, pretended to be relaxed, "The culprit isn't you, why apologize? Besides, I don't have a boyfriend. Sleeping with such a great man and getting a lot of money, no loss. Now I'm hungry and thirsty, let's eat."
Seeing her in good spirits, James Foster responded, "What do you want to eat? I'll cover your meals for the next three months."
"How about half a year?"
"Whatever you want."
The friendship between James Foster and her went way back; they grew up in the same village, childhood sweethearts, relationship lasting years still unchanged.
In her past life, she was married discreetly to Jacob Green for six years.
Living in a mansion in Blossom Haven, Jacob Green forbade her to work yet didn't give her money, only providing food and living supplies.
Preventing her from selling items, she wasn't allowed to take anything of value when going out.
Naively she thought one day he'd fall for her, but the fact is, despite her efforts, that talented man never glanced her way.
James Foster felt both pity and frustration, but never gave up on her, patiently persuading her to limit her losses.
Eventually, she was completely heartbroken over Jacob Green.
Just when she was about to file for divorce, Stellan Quinn was stabbed to death.
No evidence proved she committed the murder, but Jacob Green and everyone who knew about it pointed the finger at her.
