Chapter Thirty Three

The night was about but was indeed beautiful. When the morning sunlight broke the darkness of dawn, crossed the horizon line, and brightened the sky, Adam finally opened his slightly intoxicated eyes.

He raised his hands and tenderly massaged his aching temple. He was shocked as he glanced at the naked body lying beside him. He scratched his head in frustration and regretted his crazy behavior last night. How could he meet and play with a virgin? He should have been more careful.

Adam got out of bed and walked into the bathroom naked. Not until the cold water fell over his body did the sense of reality came to him. The water curtain freely patted his face as he considered what to do with the woman sleeping on his bed.

If this woman wasn't a virgin, the passionate sex they did last night would do no harm to him. However, the woman seemed to be a warning to him. She seemed to want it although she knew she had no sexual experience the wrong choice.

He wiped the water off his face, brushed his hair, wore a bath towel around his waist, and walked out. He had a superb, lean, compact, and athletic body, possibly caused by the long-term training he experienced. He got dressed and looked at the beautiful woman sleeping soundly on the bed. After a moment of thinking, he took a pencil and paper, wrote something, and then left abruptly.

Chloe slept well through the night. She woke up at noon and looked around in astonishment at the room. It was totally unfamiliar to her. She moved her body and realized that everything in her was aching. She lowered her head and looked at her body in bewilderment.

Her body was naked under the bedsheet. Love bites were still obvious. Chloe looked flurries and wondered what really happened last night. When she closed her eyes and tried to remember, the memories astonished her and made her jump up. Chloe, how could you get so drunk and seduce other men to have sex with you?

She hurriedly put on the clothes which had been arranged nicely for her. A piece of paper on a nearby table drew her attention. She picked up the sheet and read the handwritten note.

"Hello! I'm engaged in business this morning and have to leave. I'm really sorry about what happened last night. I have no idea that you were a virgin. If some responsibilities should be taken, you'd call me with the phone number below." The signature of Adam was legible.

Chloe felt so dispirited. She crumbles the sheet and threw it away. Then, she took her bag and walked out of the room. Before turning the handle to open the door, she walked back, picked up the paper, and put it inside her bag. With a quick glance at the strange room, she ran out quickly.

Chu International Group

"Sir, the S group just called and asked us to come and sign the agreement." Secretary Ava stood quietly, with both of her arms drooping on the side. She was waiting for Stephen's reply.

"What? Can't that chick keep calm? Has she appointed somebody to do this?" Stephen was in no mood to deal with that ill-tempered and rude woman. He wanted to stay at home and have fun with his lovely wife.

"There's no request for that." Ava's interest in the CEO of the S Group increased and she wondered what kind of woman could intimidate the ever authoritative Stephen?

"Ok, ask Scott to do this. Recently life had been too easy for him. It's time to find somethings to burner him." Scott was busy with a great pile of documents in his office. He wondered whether Leah had come here. Why did it become so cold suddenly? Actually, he didn't know Stephen was plotting something.

"I got it. Sir, Miss Yang has come here. Will she continue to work with me?" To be honest, Ava never liked Leah. Even worse, she hated women as insincere and retention as Leah. However, with Stephen's order, she had to work with Leah and guide her.

"Who?" Stephen asked. That little chick shouldn't have come here right now. He recalled how fiercely he had sex with her this morning as if to punish her indifference. He also wondered whether she had gotten out of bed. She must have been so exhausted.

"The Leah Yang from the Yang Foreign Trade," Ava replied. Ava doubted how many women with the surname of yang did Stephen know. It seemed that he only knew one Miss Yang. was it possible that Stephen was acquainted with many women surnamed Yang?

Scott really had great predictive power. yeah, Leah was here. But this time, Ariel hadn't lowered the temperature of the air conditioner. The coldness seeped onto his back all because of Stephen.

"I see. This Leah, you can continue to work with her and give her some advice. All in all, she just pretends to learn and work here. That's all she has to do."

"Right, I will leave you alone then." Ava turned around and left the room. "Ava, can I have a word with Stephen?" Leah came forward and respectfully greeted Ava as soon as she saw her getting out of Stephen's office. She would never be polite to an employee as insignificant as a secretary if she hadn't been requested to act humbly and keep a low profile. She couldn't wait. As soon would certainly fire Ava and embarrass her publicly at the first opportunity she got.

"Sorry, Boss is very busy right now. Whatever you want to talk with him, you can tell me. I will get him informed later." Because Stephen ordered her to guide Leah, it meant she was nothing to him. Otherwise, he would not try to avoid her.

"I got it. Nothing important, really. I just want to have lunch with him. I'm also wondering whether he was already gotten an appointment with others or not." Leah repressed her anger and gave a pretentious smile.

"Ok, I will deliver this message for you, Miss Yang, I need to leave now." Ava never learned how to fawn rich and powerful people. Therefore, the identity of Leah meant nothing to her because she was an employee of Chu International Group, rather than Yang Foreign Trade.

"Thank you, Ava." Leah was so angry that her facial expression looked like it was distorted. As clever as herself, Leah knew that her message would not be delivered. Even so, she wore a false smile, which draws Ava's attention. Ava suddenly realized that Leah wasn't so innocent and naive.

Ava tapped at the door of Scott's office and rushed inside. Her expression did not change at all. "Scott, Stephen asked you to go to the S Group and sign the new agreement for this quarter." With those words, Ava gave him a quick glance and wondered how he would react. Stephen acted in a fury when he heard the S group. So, she was curious about Scott's response.

"Why me? he can do it personally. Besides, that woman requests to speak to him every time. His she changed her mind?!" Busy is a pile of documents, Scott raised his head and shouted angrily. Right now, he totally dedicated himself to the next month's business plan for the S Financial Group. He didn't want to waste his time and bicker with that rude woman.

"This time, Miss Claire didn't appoint anybody to sign the agreement. Thus, Stephen wanted you to get it done." Scott's response was also unusual and strange. it seemed that both of them disliked Miss Claire.

Scott was utterly speechless. Why was he appointed when Claire actually designated no one? For God's sake, he was already busy and occupied. But he couldn't refuse. He had to obey steward unconditionally.

"I see, please tell them that I'll go there in the afternoon." massaging the acupuncture point between his eyebrows, Scott tried to calm himself down. "Okay. Mr. Scott, is it really difficult to deal with Claire?" Ava asked in curiosity. It seemed like everyone was trying to avoid that woman.

"Ha! Ha! Ava, you are also unexpectedly gossipy." Scott smirked. As far as he knew, Ava was always meticulous and would never ask anything other than work. He was very surprised by her sudden question.

"Forget it." Scott's laughter made Ava angry. She turned and strode away, but Scott laughed even more heartily.

Ava was embarrassed. She shouldn't have asked him about it. Instead of getting the answer, she made a shameful show of herself. She had forgotten that this guy was as mean and shameless as Mr. Chu.

Stephen sneezed as if he knew what Ava was thinking. Why did he always get into trouble? Brielle moved her sore body to pick up her ringing phone on the bed. At the sight of the caller's name, she threw the phone back and covered herself with the quilt, ignoring the call.

Stephen took the phone down to check the number and was sure that it was Brielle's. This woman was playing hard-to-get again. 'She is still sleeping? Or she has been out without taking her phone?' At this thought, he called another number.

Knock. Knock. Brielle was immediately awakened. "Come in." She answered in a cold, lazy voice. "Mrs. Chu, there is a call from Mr. Chu." Mrs. Pei walked in with the phone, wondering why Stephen didn't call Brielle directly.

"Okay, thanks." Brielle took the phone nodded to Mrs. Chu, and answered it. "Hello?" Brielle kept her anger and dismay to herself. She shouldn't have forgotten that she was now at Stephen's home. He could find her even if she didn't answer the phone. She was just like a trapped lamb, and Stephen was the wolf. Recalling what Stephen did this morning, Brielle quivered at the thought of it.

"You haven't got up yet? You must be tired." Stephen said gently with a beautiful grin. He knew that Brielle ignored his call deliberately as he was rude this morning.

"Yeah. So what?" Brielle gave a plain reply in a casual tone. At first, she was happy that nothing happened last night. However, Stephen forcibly had sex with her this morning and urged her to accept many unequal terms while she was enjoying herself.

"Ha-ha. Are you still angry?" Stephen simply sprawled in the chair and continued smirking. Now he knew Brielle was bad-tempered. Her tone had irritation written all over it. However, it was not his fault. She was so sexy that he couldn't control himself.

Stephen didn't admit that he hungered for sex but complained that Brielle was too charming. "Eh..." Brielle turned over in the bed, still a bit groggy.

Come on. Could you talk more?" Stephen was becoming impatient. He had never tried so hard to flatter any woman, but she just uttered such a simple word. "I see." How annoying Brielle was!

"What are you going to do today?" Stephen was becoming bored too. He actually called to ask such a thing. "I have to finish my report. Well, could you please add one more desk in the study?" She checked the study last night. She had to work in the study, but there was only one desk and his documents and files were piled on it.

"No problem. I will ask Fan to settle it. Wait for about a couple of hours." Stephen was overjoyed. They would work in the same study afterward. Did it mean that they could also have sex there from time to time?

"Okay, thanks." Brielle didn't know what Stephen really thought, so she thanked him politely. maybe she wouldn't have remained calm after she knew Stephen's evil plan later. "Stephen, you have to treat me to dinner today." An abrupt loud voice interrupted their sweet talk, Scott broke into Stephens' office.

"You have to work." Hearing someone else's voice over the phone, Brielle hung up the phone before Stephen could explain. Stephen was infuriated. Brielle hung up the phone again. He had told her this morning that she couldn't hang up the phone first no matter what, but obviously, she had forgotten it completely. Or maybe she just didn't care.

Looking up at Scott in anger, Stephen said coldly, "It's very rude of you to break in her. You should have knocked at the door. I'll punish you if you don't knock next time." after stating this with a fiery tone, Stephen looked down at the document on the table.

"Well..." Scott was confused. Stephen didn't care whether he knocked at the door before, but he was provoked today. Indeed, Scott shouldn't have broken in, but most importantly, he came at the wrong time.

"Stephen, why are you so angry? Are you at the change of life? Why are you so swollen with rage?" Scott always acted shamelessly in front of Stephen, so he didn't care about Stephen's warning.

"Shut up! Men won't enter upon the change of life!" Stephen rolled his eyes, and immediately become melancholic. For the record, men will also enter upon the change of life, but it's not as obvious as women.
