Chapter 44 As Edmund spoke , his gaze fell upon Kaneeta's red lips . He raised his hand , as if wanting to reach out and touch her lips . Kaneeta turned her head to avoid him . Looking at the shameless man before her , she let out a cold laugh and immediately lifted her foot to kick him . " You ! " Edmund reacted quickly , immediately letting go of Kaneeta and stepping back a few paces , causing her kick to miss . " Are you crazy ? " Edmund shouted angrily . " You're the crazy one . " Kaneeta straightened the wrinkled corner of her clothes . " Getting handsy with your own secretary in the office , Mr. Kuntz - if word gets out , what will happen to your reputation , or the reputation of the Kuntz Group ? " Edmund looked at her cold expression , his Adam's apple bobbing twice . He blurted out , " You're not just my secretary , you're also my … " " Enough ." Kaneeta cut him off . Chapter 44 A bitter look appeared on Edmund's face . " Do you still remember what day it is tomorrow ? " Kaneeta's face was expressionless; she did not answer . Of course she remembered . But thinking of that day only made her feel sick . " Tomorrow is the anniversary of the first time I confessed to you … " Edmund continued , even looking as if he were lost in fond memories . " I still remember how you smiled faintly and turned me down . Back then , I thought , you were so cute , I liked you so much , and I would never give up ." That's right - when Edmund first confessed to her , Kaneeta did not accept him . At that time , Kaneeta's beauty was famous throughout the entire university . From the moment she entered as a freshman , countless people had pursued her . But Kaneeta didn't accept any of them . When Edmund confessed to her , she turned him down as well . No one expected her to refuse , because Edmund was also a Chapter 44 prominent figure at school - handsome , from a good family . Many people privately said he and Kaneeta were a perfect match . But at that time , Kaneeta truly didn't like him . She didn't want to string anyone along , so she simply and decisively rejected him . Yet Edmund refused to give up and pursued her for more than half a year . In the end , she gradually developed feelings for him . Finally , she agreed to be with him . After they got together , Edmund said that the day he first confessed to her was important too , so they should make it an anniversary . Every year after that , he would celebrate with her on that day , giving her gifts … " Neeta , I've already prepared your anniversary gift , " Edmund said with a gentle smile . " You'll definitely like it . " Kaneeta had no interest in knowing what the gift was . She only recalled what she had heard Nyasia say that night . " If I hadn't had a fight with Ed back then , how would he have gone to confess to Kaneeta out of spite ? " Chapter 44 So the reason Edmund confessed to her in the first place was simply because he had quarreled with Nyasia . He could have given up after she rejected him , but instead he chose to keep deceiving her , to blind her , and in the end , dragged her into the abyss . Kaneeta clenched her fists tightly . " Neeta , so much has happened lately , we're both exhausted . Let's not fight anymore , okay ? " Edmund continued to coax her . " Nya was immature , but she's been in the detention center for days now - she's learned her lesson . I know you're insisting on pressing charges against her because you're jealous that I was good to her . " Kaneeta abruptly pulled herself out of her memories and glanced at Edmund speechlessly .
