Baby you got me like ah, woo, ah
Don't you stop loving me
Don't quit loving me
Just start loving me

Oh, and baby I'm fist fighting with fire
Just to get close to you
Can we burn something, babe?
And I run for miles just to get a taste

Must be love on the brain
That's got me feeling this way
It beats me black and blue
but it fucks me so good
And I can't get enough

Must be love on the brain yeah
And it keeps cursing my name

No matter what I do,
I'm no good without you
And I can't get enough
Must be love on the brain

Baby, keep loving me
Just love me, yeah
Just love me
All you need to do is love me, yeah

Got me like ah-ah-ah-ow
I'm tired of being played like a violin
What do I gotta do to get in your motherfuckin' heart?

Things ran as usual at the office.
Dylan didn't talk to her unless it was work.

Guilt was consuming him for acting like a complete animal. He couldn't find the ways to apologize. He was mad at her, but it was not her fault. He just wished it was not her who made that bet with Connor.

The best way he could think of making mends was to give her something.

She got the roses. Trashed them.
She got the jewelry, just stashed them to add to the useless things he had gifted her.

She also got a call from Curtis that afternoon while revising a lawsuit.

"Attorney Shen, Mr. Wang needs to see you ASAP!"

Shen Yue had no desire to be anywhere near him, she was still deciding how to kick his ass.
"I'm busy."
She hanged the phone.

Then a knock on her door.
"Please Attorney, Mr. Wang is in full Devil mode!"

Shen Yue found a nervous Curtis quite funny.
"Curtis tell your boss I'm in the middle of drafting a huge security case. Will be there when I can."

Curtis fanned his face with a vogue magazine.
"Pardon me attorney, and please don't tell your husband, but why are you two are giving high blood pressure, why so evil?!"
The way he said it was completely hilarious to Shen Yue.

"Just tell him what I said. You can hide in the ladies room with your fashion magazine. I heard there's a new YSL collection!"

Curtis huffed and puffed with his magazine, hoping he was not in the receiving end of the boss and his wife's argument.
