Joanna Gonzalez is participating in a competing game named "Big Adventure", which is held by Ralph Johnson's company in order to introduce advanced talents. She is the only one who wins the game. As a result, she also succeeded in joining Ralph's company. She never expected that this Ralph would turn out to be her childhood sweetheart, who has been separated from her by an accident for sixteen years. Now that they meet each other again, they will certainly get to know each other well again to make up for the missing sixteen years.
"Big Adventure Level 30. Mission: place the locator chip in Mr. Johnson's car! Prize: three million yuan!"
"Big Adventure Level 31. Mission: find Mr. Johnson's private residence! Prize: five million yuan!"
Joanna Gonzalez had been playing Big Adventure to earn extra money for some time but was stuck at Level 31.
According to the comments of the game, dozens of hackers had been struck at that level. People roasted the planner of the Big Adventure for setting up such a difficult mission!
As a worshiper of the golden calf, Joanna would not give up such a handsome prize so easily.
While thinking, she quickly tapped the keyboard and soon saw something through the grapevine.
"Mr. Johnson will return to Imperial City at 4 p.m. and pass through the Stone Bridge and Plank Road!"
The corner of Joanna's mouth curved up in a smirk. She picked up her bag and ran out of the internet cafe.
To get the bonus, Joanna, a woman who had never been interested in men, already spent half a month to analyze Mr. Johnson from every angle!
In the end, she came to a conclusion. This man was extraordinary!
Six years ago, this man suddenly showed up in Imperial City and founded the Empire Group. Six years later, Mr. Johnson became the richest man in the city and was even received by the president last month. This man was a legend.
He had never kept a low profile and often received media interviews. The coverage about him was published in almost all magazines and newspapers in the street.
What was more miraculous was that the publications were often sold out. There wasn't even a single piece of waste paper with his photo on. He was a heartthrob across the nation.
80% of the single ladies in the Imperial City would hold magazines with his coverage to sleep. Imagine the craze!
Rumor had it as long as a woman saw Mr. Johnson in person, whether she was single or not, she would be love-struck.
Oh my, scary!
Joanna's investigation didn't focus on his excellence. After half a month, she found out the man's "disease"!
This man, a racer against time, would never waste a second! In his mind, money was just a figure, and he was willing to give up all his money for time. His 'disease' was occupational!
Facing such a man... she could easily conduct blackmail!
Then she could have an opportunity to place the chip in his car and earn double incomes!
Oh yeah! She was so smart!
Without further ado, she went to an abandoned car lot, bought a cheap car, and posted notice on its back. Driving it on the road, she started to wait for her prey.
As expected, a luxury car from the Empire Group drove into the Stone Bridge and Plank Road at 4 p.m.
Through the rear-view mirror, Joanna saw the approaching car, and the corners of her mouth curved up triumphantly. Losing no time, she drove her car out horizontally and blocked the luxury car.
As to the honk from the car behind, she pretended that she didn't hear.
Suddenly, she reacted as if she just heard the honk. In her hurry, she forgot to veer the steering wheel to make way and even hit the brake. With a bang, a rear-end collision happened as expected!
Joanna laughed inwardly but feigned ignorance on the surface. Opening the door, she got off the car.
"Ah, my car!"
With a distressed look, she rushed over, only to find the luxury car intact, and the rear of her car shattered.
In the car sat Ralph Johnson, who showed a stern look. Because of the rear-end collision, he swooped, then sat back, and pulled a long face.
"Mr. Johnson, rear-ending."
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?"
