Her face paled with a whoosh, and she gave the man, who was currently unbuttoning his shirt, a disbelieving glare. She tightened her hands into fists by her side, but though her fists were clenched, her heart was a rollercoaster… What did he mean by that?Her head was lowered, but her mind was a whirring hive of activity… If she begged him… No, it was not time for her to beg him yet…“What are you standing there for? Sit on the bed and wait for me… Oh, and you aren't allowed to go to sleep.” T
When her gaze landed on that card, Jane’s shoulders shook uncontrollably… He had always known what she wanted to do!The hair on Sean’s forehead was dripping wet, the droplets of water flowing down his locks. He lifted his foot and walked toward Jane.She had nowhere to go. Jane instinctively gulped. Inside, she was insanely nervous.“I’m sorry, Mr. Stewart! I apologize!” A barely discernible light flashed through her eyes. As she spoke, she bent her knees, about to prostrate herself toward t
Jane’s eyes only widened further, not daring to look away from him for even a second… She thought he was only going to close the door, after which he would… he would… “Oh, right. Take off your clothes before you sleep. You know what’ll happen if you dirty my bed. I won’t be pleased.”After that, he… left?Thud.There was the soft sound of the door closing. Only then could Jane be certain that she had not been mistaken— that man had left the room.Before she could heave a sigh of relief, thou
Stewart TowerA black Bentley came to a gradual stop. The first to appear from the car was a long leg, followed by the rest of Sean’s elegant form. He walked around to the passenger’s seat and pulled the door open.Sean looked at the woman inside through narrowed eyes. She had not said a single word the entire way here. He did not try to hasten her, either; instead, he just waited quietly for the woman in the car to make her own decision.Until this moment, Jane still could not comprehend why
The voices were barely louder than murmurs and she could not hear every word, it was still enough for her to hear most of it.Her face turned deathly pale. Keeping her head pressed low, she bit her lip so hard that she tasted blood.Sean never stopped looking at her. Jane could hear the whispers around her, and naturally so could Sean, but he did not tell the naysayers off. He just kept his eyes fixed on Jane… The Jane he knew back then did not fear any gossip or criticism. She had once held h
“What on earth do you want?!” Jane’s hands were clenched into fists. What else did this man want from her? “Mr. Stewart, look! Look at me carefully! What else do I have that a prince like you would need to waste your time on?!“Tell me! Just tell me, and I’ll give it to you! All of it!” Why did he have to barge into her life again? What was he after? “Mr. Stewart! I’m no longer the Jane Dunn you once knew! Please know that!“I can’t tell, I really don’t know why someone as rich and respected a
She slowly raised her head, just as quietly lowered it again, and then raised it once more. She repeated that cycle three times before she finally made up her mind, gritting her teeth and stretching out her arms. Without even blinking, she threw her arms around the man’s neck. The entire time, her body shook.“Don’t you want me, Mr. Stewart?” As soon as she said that, her entire neck turned bright red, and an unspeakable sense of shame filled her chest. She had learned that line by watching ano
“From now on, you’ll stay here.” Sean led Jane back to the 28th floor of East Emperor, adding, “I’ve already submitted your resignation letter for this place. Once you join Stewart Industries, you’ll just have to stick with me.”“I was doing fine with my job!” She glared at him. What right did he have to make that decision for her?“Oh, really? Do you really think a job selling your services to men is ‘fine’ by you? Jane, even if you wanted to keep working there, I don’t want you to.”Jane wa
