Yvette stood firmly before reaching out to push Lance away without the slightest hint of reluctance.It was like she was facing a stranger.“Thanks...”Yvette finished speaking and continued to walk back, but she saw that she had gone in the wrong direction. For a moment, she could not figure out if she was walking at the right place or not.Lance saw her reaction and smiled somewhat helplessly.“Where’s the room?”Yvette pursed her lips. “Call Nicole and tell her to come out and pick me up.”She went out in a hurry and left her phone in the room.Lance smiled faintly. His mature profoundness faded slightly and was replaced by warmth.“I only have her office number. She might not necessarily answer at this time.”After all, although their cooperation was a win-win situation, they did not have too deep a friendship in private.Lance had Logan’s number, but it was clear that Nicole would probably not bring her assistant to attend this kind of private party.Yvette stood there
The impression Lance left on Yvette was that he was mature, stable, meticulous, and smooth in the ways of the world. He had a soul that was indifferent to everything.That was what she thought.However, was it true?Yvette looked sideways and suddenly became overwhelmed with curiosity about the man in front of her.His ex-girlfriend took his money and ran, but he did not care in the least, as if that was not his girlfriend.Lance did not get angry, disappointed, or crazy. He did not even care.Why?In that case, what did he care about?Yvette wanted to ask, but she felt like with their current relationship, it was impossible.They were not a couple with deep feelings for each other. They were merely husband and wife in a marriage alliance who needed to cultivate their feelings.When Lance heard her words, he slowly turned his head. His eyes were dark as ink, flickering with something unknown.Yvette very skillfully flicked the cigarette ash. The cigarette had a refined and c
Yvette’s initiative made Lance lose some control over his restraint and coolness earlier. Her arms clung to his shoulders, soft and boneless but with a fatal attraction.The initiative was completely taken away from her.However, the next second, he immediately understood what “sweetness” tasted like.Indeed, it was sweet. It was sweeter than any cigarette he tasted before. The sweetness penetrated his bones.He forgot the taste of the cigarette earlier and only remembered the “sweetness” in front of him. It was a taste that made him go out of control.When he clamped down on her waist to gain dominance, she bit him hard on the lips.He had to stop.She leaned on his shoulders and panted. Her breath was burning.He did not push further either. Like her, he tried hard to restrain himself so as not to scare her.“Lance.”“Hmm?” His voice was deep as the night, yet it carried a burning temperature.Yvette’s voice was languid. “Was it sweet?”The corners of Lance’s lips curved
Nicole suddenly felt her heart soften.“If you’re tired, just ask the driver to pick me up. Since you came back, the drivers in our families have started taking vacation days...”At those words, Clayton smiled and looked at her.“I’m not tired. If it weren’t for picking you up, I’d still be busy working right now. Rather than work, I’d much prefer picking you up.”Nicole smiled and said nothing.Behind them, Ian leaned his head against the car window. He originally closed his eyes to rest, but after hearing those words, he felt so sour that he could not sleep.At home.Nicole washed up and did not rush to bed. Instead, she went to the study.The stock market had been fluctuating strangely these days.She watched in silence, and her fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard. From time to time, she looked at the material that Logan sent to her mailbox in advance.Nicole did not notice that Clayton was standing at the door of the study, watching her after he washed up.When she st
Nicole was pulled to the table, and Clayton served her some soup. She originally had no appetite, but she suddenly felt hungry.After breakfast, Nicole also sobered up and went to get dressed.Clayton had already cleaned up and looked at her with a warm gaze.“Let’s go.”Nicole smiled, and the two went out together. Downstairs at Stanton Corporation, before getting out of the car, Nicole saw an unexpected person standing there, waiting.For who?Naturally, it was for Nicole.Nicole narrowed her eyes, and the smile on her face faded.Clayton also saw the woman. “You don’t want to see her? Shall I tell Logan to come downstairs to pick you up?”Nicole did not care and smiled. “No need. I’m going in.”She opened the door and got out.Before Nicole could reach the entrance, she was unsurprisingly stopped.Angie looked at Nicole with a deep gaze, then smiled at Clayton.“Ms. Stanton, are you interested in having a short chat?”Nicole said, “Sorry, I’m not interested.”She had
As soon as Nicole entered the building, Nicole instructed the bodyguard at the door.“Keep an eye out. Don’t let that woman in.”Angie lowered her head and smiled.She really liked Nicole’s character.If it were not for Eric, maybe they could have been friends.Putting away her smile, Angie walked over and knocked on the car window.Clayton wound down the window without the slightest expression on his face.“I told you to leave her alone, didn’t I?”Angie pursed her lips and went over stiffly.“I did what you said. His company will only admit that we’re in a relationship and won’t mention anything about getting married.”Clayton’s expression was cold. “That’s your own business. Don’t involve others.”A trace of anxiety finally crossed Angie’s eyes.“He’s unmoved by force or persuasion. What can I do? If I really kill Charles, I’ll lose the bargaining chip in my hand, and he’ll get angry.”Clayton chuckled and gave her a deep look as if he was looking at an idiot.“That’ll
Yvette paused for a second and inexplicably calmed down.She suddenly realized that she had overreacted.They had just met. Moreover, with their kind of relationship, it seemed like there was no place to talk about jealousy.Lance’s shirt was somewhat wrinkled, and there were lipstick marks on the collar.It looked ambiguous and tender.Noticing Yvette’s line of sight, Lance looked down. His expression turned a little uncomfortable.He tugged on his shirt and coughed. His voice was dry and hoarse.“I’ll go change.”Yvette’s eyes flickered. “I also want to change, but I haven’t brought my things over yet.”She looked around. Lance brought her to the new house they were about to move into.Lance paused for a few seconds, got up, and took a shirt from his closet. It was a little too small for him, but it was probably a little wide for her.As he hesitated on whether to give it to her, Yvette was already sitting on the bed, flinging her long and slender legs.She waited for him
Lance did not touch Yvette when she was drunk. That was the most basic trait that he had as a gentleman.Especially since Yvette was his wife that he recently married, he wanted to leave a good impression on her.However, now that Yvette was sober, there was no reason for him to let go of the new Mrs. Sheldon.Yvette had never seen Lance lose control like he did at this moment.Lance wanted to continue even after they did it once, but his phone kept ringing as if it would never stop. He suddenly felt so conflicted and irritated by it.Yvette was also very annoyed. It was enough to do it once. She did not want to continue.However, Lance’s appetite only seemed to grow. He became greedy, so she had to work hard to keep up with him.She pushed him away. Her voice was hoarse and dry. She no longer had the energy she used to tease him earlier.“Go answer the phone.”Lance’s hand was still holding her waist. The feeling of her body in his hand was so good that he could not bear to l
