It was as if an invisible hand had smoothed away the rough edges in John's heart.
His fingers moved downward, lightly tracing her waist through her coat.
Diana's waist felt supple.
Today, she happened to be wearing a white lamb's wool jacket.
She looked just like a soft, cuddly little lamb.
So enticingly tender.
It made it hard for anyone to resist the urge... to tease.
John's long, beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as he checked his wristwatch.
Then he uttered two words.
"Meeting adjourned."
Adjourned... the meeting was adjourned?
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the group nearly burst into tears of joy.
They were finally released.
Those two hours of the meeting felt like they had spent two years in prison.
What an ordeal!
John left the crowd behind, holding Diana's small hand as he led her into his office.
Once inside, he wrapped his arm around the
John released her lips. He saw the glimmer of moisture in her eyes, a hint of vulnerability on her face. She clutched his suit tightly with both hands. "You bit me too hard." Her lips were swollen from the kiss, and there was a tiny cut that had turned slightly crimson. "I'm sorry," John apologized. John extended his finger and gently wiped away the bloodstain from her lips. What had once been cherry blossom-colored lips had turned into a vibrant shade of rose. They looked even more enticing now. He tilted his head slightly and extended his tongue, delicately licking her wound. It carried a hint of metallic sweetness, further igniting the desire he had been struggling to contain. His tender kisses landed on her forehead, eyes, and nose, then circled back to her lips, tracing them with gentle kisses. His journey continued downward, kissing her slender, fair neck. The marks from their previous encounter had mostly
"Ms. Patel, Mr. Nelson is resting, and we mustn't disturb him," Patrick replied, wearing a smile but displaying no courtesy in his tone. Seeing this, Charlotte couldn't push the matter further. She maintained her composure and extended her hand, offering the items she had brought. "It's quite chilly lately. I've brought some supplements for Mr. Nelson. Please make sure to give them to him." "I'll take them on Mr. Nelson's behalf. Ms. Patel, if you have no other business, please leave," Natalie said, reaching out to accept Charlotte's offerings, her tone far from polite. "Well then, I'll visit another day," Charlotte replied with a courteous smile, though a flicker of anger crossed her eyes. This servant had no sense of propriety! When she became the mistress of the Nelson household, the first thing she'd do was dismiss her! Outside the door, Christopher was on the phone, his voice low as he struggled to control his anger. "Serena, I'll
Seeing him looking back, she even extended her hand and waved sweetly, offering a charming smile. Two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, looking exceptionally cute. Colin's gaze paused for a moment, and then he walked back towards her. He extended a slender, fair hand toward her and said, "Give it to me." Leah obediently placed her hand in his palm. The touch was gentle and soft. Colin looked at her and said, "Lunch." "Oh," Leah replied, withdrawing her hand and taking one of the lunch boxes out to hand it to him. Colin took it and walked away. Behind him, Leah's excited voice could be heard, "Let's have lunch together next time!" Colin remained silent. Beside him, his classmates had mixed expressions. "What's going on? Didn't Leah say she had a boyfriend? Why is she chasing after you again?" one of them couldn't help but ask. Colin didn't respond. His handsome face remained ca
This could be considered a new beginning. She had made it quite obvious, so he should respond, right? "Are you done talking? If you're done, then scram!" Liam didn't even bother to lift his head as he shoveled a spoonful of food into his mouth. Puzzling. The cafeteria was crowded, and Liam's voice was loud enough to catch everyone's attention in an instant. Sensing various curious gazes fixed upon her, Scarlett's face suddenly heated up. She clenched her fingers. Being yelled at by Liam in public like this... In the past, those heirs from prestigious families were always so courteous; how could he be so disrespectful to her? Scarlett felt a sharp pang of embarrassment. Seeing her discomfort, Diana couldn't help but chuckle. She picked up a big chicken leg from her own plate and handed it to Liam. "Here, dear nephew." "What are you doing?" Liam was taken aback. Diana smiled warmly
The proud posture was unmistakably Scarlett's. Leah reached her, suddenly grabbing her hair, about to strike, but she was restrained by the people nearby. Two men held Leah tightly, restraining her hands. In the surveillance footage, Scarlett screamed in shock. "Are you crazy, Leah? You really are insane!" She stood up, adjusting her clothes. "So, everything that woman said earlier was true! Leah, not only are you mentally unstable, but you also have violent tendencies. Shouldn't someone like you be disqualified from the competition?" The scene descended into chaos as several people stood up, pointing fingers at Leah. Leah, held by security, clearly had lost control of her emotions. Her eyes were shockingly red, whether from anger or sorrow, it was hard to tell. The video ended at this point. A glint of coldness flickered in Diana's eyes. With a casual thought, she guessed that the troublemaker, no doubt
John gently grasped her small hand. "What have you been up to lately?" he inquired. "Busy practicing the piano. I'm heading to Vienna next month for a performance with Aunt Jones, so I need to focus," she replied, a mischievous smile tugging at the corners of her lips. It seemed as if the little girl had found harmony in her life with him. When John looked into her eyes now, he noticed a newfound allure, a shimmering radiance that hadn't been there before. Her eyes were captivating, playing a seductive tune with his heartstrings. Unable to contain himself, John reached up and lifted her chin with his fingers. Their lips met, soft and demanding, as they kissed passionately. His lips explored hers, and he tasted the sweetness of her tongue, leaving her breathless. As desire swelled within him, John's hand that had rested on her waist moved upward. Diana caught his hand and bit his lower lip playfully. In a husky voice, John whispered int
For a first date, it was essential to maintain a certain image. After a moment's thought, she pointed to a nearby romantic film. "How about this one? What do you think?" Even though she had no interest in these artsy romance films, it seemed more suitable for a private date. But to her surprise, Colin suggested, "How about that one?" He pointed to a movie poster nearby. Leah took a look, "11 Nights of Horror." Instantly, her eyes lit up. Damn! That's the one she wanted to watch! "You like horror movies too?" She looked at Colin with astonishment. She hadn't expected that... Colin squinted his eyes and asked, "You like them?" Leah chuckled, "Well, a friend of mine really enjoys them. So, since you like it, let's go for the horror movie." Seeing her enthusiastic expression, a faint smile played on Colin's lips. Just as she suspected. She enjoyed this genre.
"Well... I think he's quite nice, actually. He's cheerful, talkative, and seems like a good guy..." "Harper is an only child." "Oh?" Leah was left somewhat bewildered by his abrupt statement. Then it dawned on her. An only child? Did that mean the girl they had just seen wasn't his sister? "Harper has a lot of 'sisters,' so you should keep your distance from him," Colin said slowly. Leah blinked. Huh? "So, are you jealous right now?" Leah suddenly stepped closer, standing in front of him with a burning gaze. Colin remained silent. She took a daring step closer, and on her delicate face, happiness was impossible to conceal. "Colin, if you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes?" The two of them stood on the side of the road. The young man was tall with long legs, his face as handsome as the moon in the sky. And the girl in front of him was graceful and alluring, as i
