Yvette could not go back to sleep, so she went to get dressed and did her makeup.Originally, she did not think that getting dressed was important, but since she had a love rival in the office, she did not want to be at a disadvantage in any aspect.Yvette did not care whether Lance had left or not. She just went to the dressing room to change her clothes.Usually, Yvette would wear a professional suit to work. Although they were all big-name brands and were suitable office attire, they lacked her own sense of style.Yvette picked out a beautiful gold spaghetti strap dress from her closet full of clothes. It made her look sexy and flirtatious, gracefully outlining her beautiful figure. She was very satisfied with it.She smiled and went to the bathroom to fix her makeup.Yvette stood in front of the mirror and admired her beauty.She picked up the lipstick on the side, but before she could smear it on her lips, the bathroom door suddenly opened.Lance walked in and embraced her
The man took a deep breath and was probably exasperated by her attitude.He looked so stubborn.Yvette carefully applied her lipstick, but she was not very satisfied with a small part of what she just applied. Thus, she hesitantly thought about whether she should wipe it off and reapply it.The man behind her went forward again. He suppressed his breathing, and his voice was low and harsh as he said, “No, even if you’re the vice president. I think you’re just asking for it.”Yvette wrinkled her eyebrows. Just as she was about to speak, the man began to unbuckle his belt.Her face turned pale, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.“Lance, it’s time for you to go to the office!”However, before she could escape, Lance already confined her in his embrace. He held her arms and lowered his head to kiss her.Yvette could not dodge. Lance grabbed her by one hand, while his other hand started to roam around her body.He continued where he left off. However, it was different from bef
Lance laughed and did not answer Yvette’s question. He withdrew his longing gaze, turned around, and left.Yvette looked at his back and closed her eyes.She could not bear to recall that thrilling and steamy scene earlier.Her face was slightly flushed. The warmth all over her body gradually receded before she calmed down.Yvette thought, ‘What about his ex-girlfriend? She’s nothing to me!’She was exhausted, so she rested for a while. It was almost noon before she had the strength to get up.When she saw the marks all over her body, she secretly cursed the man before going to the bathroom to clean up after herself.Yvette walked out of the bathroom feeling clean and refreshed. The gold dress she wore earlier was thrown in the trash because it was already shredded and no longer wearable.She suspected that Lance had deliberately torn her dress, but there was no evidence.Hmph!Yvette was tempted to pick out another sexy dress, but it would not be able to cover the marks on h
Yvette glanced at the woman behind the department head, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to introduce her.“I forgot to introduce her. She’s our new employee, Whitney Locke, who just came back from abroad. She’s a rare talent that used to work for LG. Whitney, this is our company’s vice president who is also Mr. Sheldon’s wife.”It turned out that Lance’s ex-girlfriend’s name was Whitney Locke.Whitney smiled politely and nodded without saying a word.It felt like Whitney could not let go of her arrogance, as if bowing her head was a humiliation.Yvette just thought that it was funny. She retracted her gaze and said in a dull voice, “Foreign companies have much better benefits than our company. Ms. Locke, why are you interested in our company?”Whitney Locke did not want to talk to Yvette, but she was afraid that the department head would notice something odd about her.“There are more opportunities in Mediania, and it’s also less competitive.”The department head always felt t
The assistant scratched his head and looked around the conference room.“Mr. Sheldon was just in here, but he just disappeared in a blink of an eye. He’s not in his office either since I just came from there.”The assistant somehow felt that Yvette’s smile was not a real smile, so he dared not joke with her.Yvette’s heart sank completely.Her eyes turned gloomy.The assistant said, “Ms. Quimbey, why don’t you go back to your office and wait. I’ll give Mr. Sheldon a call.”Yvette refused.“No need. You can go about your work. I’ll just contact him myself.”The assistant saw no fluctuations in her expression. She did not look like she was angry.He nodded before he turned around and went about his business.Yvette paused. She had a bad premonition.Lance was not in the conference room or his office, so where would he be?Her hands that were carrying the coffee were unconsciously sweating.Yvette pretended as if nothing was wrong and wandered around.Everyone was used to se
Yvette overheard their conversation to this point and did not want to hear any more.She did not know what was the point of eavesdropping.Up to now, how could Lance still decide to hide it from her?The entire company already knew about this matter, but she was the only one kept in the dark.If Yvette had not known about it in advance, would she have acted like a fool and gone to make friends with her new colleague?Yvette stood there. For the first time, she felt that she was so pathetic.Lance knew everything about her, but he did not want to share his secrets with her.After one short year of marriage, Yvette thought that the two of them were compatible enough to grow old together.But now, it seemed like it was a little too far-fetched for their relationship to last so long.That stairway door separated both their worlds.Yvette did not understand this side of Lance at all.Whitney questioned Lance like she was his legitimate girlfriend.“Misunderstand? You’re afraid t
Lance walked away after he finished speaking.Whitney stared at his back in shock. Her face was extremely glum.“Who said that I don’t love her?”Whitney thought, ‘This means that Lance loves Yvette! He actually loves her?!’Even back then when they were at their most intimate, Lance never said that he loved Whitney.She thought that he was incapable of love, much less willing to express it.However, he just admitted to her that he loved another person.......Lance walked out of the stairway. When he passed the trash can, he paused in his footsteps.His expression changed slightly when he saw what was on top of the trash can.He did not remember seeing these two cups of coffee on top of the trash can when he walked in.Did someone come by?Lance wrinkled his brow. He picked up the two cups of coffee with a cold face and went to his workstation.“Whose are these?”Lance asked the right person.His assistant smiled, and his eyes lit up.“Mr. Sheldon, aren’t these the cof
Lance was feeling anxious and complicated inside.He called home, but the maid was the one who answered the call.“Is Madam home?”The maid said, “No, didn’t Madam go to the office to look for you?”She was just wondering about it.Lance said, “Let me know when she’s home.”“Yes, sir.”Lance let out a deep breath after hanging up the phone.Yvette overheard his conversation with Whitney earlier.‘Would she overthink things?’ Lance thought.Whitney’s words earlier were very harsh. However, since Lance just found out about his mother’s ploy to get rid of Whitney, he felt indebted to her and just let her keep venting her grievances.Thus, he did not retort.Who knew that it would be such a coincidence?Lance looked at Yvette’s phone number and fell into deep thought. ‘We were just being intimate this morning. Yet now, our relationship is about to be over so soon? I don’t want it to end, and I can’t let this end...’He no longer had the mood to go back to work. Thus, he drove
