Heather's job was simple—all she had to do was make drinks. Sometimes, she'd even get tips. That, coupled with her basic salary, meant she earned quite a sum each month.After making a drink, she put the mixer down and headed to the restroom after informing a colleague. As she passed a corridor, someone threw their arms around her from behind.It scared her. She turned to see a balding middle-aged man behind her. Her expression changed, and she started struggling. "Let me go, Mr. Waylon!""Oh, I've missed you so much, my darling Hattie. You smell so good! C'mon, let me hold you…" Bob Waylon leaned close to her. He reeked of alcohol.He was a regular at the Red Rose and in his 50s. He salivated at the sight of Heather and had on more than one occasion indicated his interest in having her as his mistress. Heather had avoided him at all costs before today, but it looked like there was no getting away this time.She was disgusted by his proximity to her but didn't dare to offend him o
Heather jolted. Only then did she realize she was still clinging to Tyrone. She hurriedly released him. She lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Elkin. I didn't mean to barge in here earlier. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'll go now."With that, she stood up to leave.She sucked up to him when she wanted to use him as a shield. Now that she was done using him, she apologized politely before leaving. Didn't that make him seem like such a pushover?Tyrone narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Didn't you say you were here for me?"Heather stopped. What did he mean by that?He looked into her guileless eyes. "Whoring yourself out again?"The room was quiet, so his voice rang out clearly. His words were so brutal that Heather felt embarrassed. "No. I was working when he came over to harass me.""Oh, you were working. You're quite the role model, aren't you, Ms. Sutton? You have a day job, yet you're also moonlighting here." He sounded like he was complimenting her, but his tone
Tyrone took a deep puff of the cigarette. Then, he grasped Heather's face. His fingers were slender, and his joints were well-defined. His tall and huge body bore down upon her.The whole thing lasted for less than three seconds. Before Heather realized what was going on, she had already found herself locked in Tyrone's arms!The faint smell of cigarettes enveloped her. The man's handsome face was mere inches away from her lips.Heather shuddered. She was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she returned to her senses and began to struggle. "Mr. Elkin, what are you doing?"Tyrone held both of Heather's wrists with one hand. He secured them behind her with great ease. She couldn't break free, and her struggles only brought her closer to his chest. It felt like a subtle invitation instead.The fair skin on her chest was quite eye-catching. Narrowing his eyes, Tyrone placed his thin lips onto her neck.Heather suddenly widened her eyes.He was biting her!It wasn't quite a bite, becau
Heather didn't contact Tyrone.She had just rejected him, so she couldn't bring herself to ask him for help now.That night, after showering, Heather received some documents from Caleb concerning the meeting tomorrow.There was quite a lot to go through. Heather stayed up all night and managed to finish reading everything. When it was almost daybreak, she lay down and took a nap."Hattie, wake up! Come on, Hattie, wake up!"Heather was woken up in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ivy standing worriedly next to her bed. She rubbed her eyes while saying, "Ivy, you're back. What time is it?""It's almost 8:00 a.m. You have a fever! Your body is burning. Put on your clothes. I'm taking you to the hospital."Ivy was in a filming session last night. She had just come back after work to see Heather sleeping on the couch. She went over to wake Heather up, but she realized that Heather was burning."It's 8:00 a.m.?"Heather instantly sobered up. She hastily sat up, but she sud
Caleb glanced sideways at Tyrone in shock. He thought, "He has been looking in that direction all this while, so how could he not have seen that? He's obviously defending Ms. Sutton."Halfway through their conversation, knocks sounded on the door of the president's office.Tyrone said, "Come in."Heather opened the door and entered the office."Wow, Ms. Sutton, you're quite pretty today. Mr. Elkin, regardless of whether the acquisition succeeds or not, we'll at least be superior in terms of looks." Caleb's eyes lit up when he saw Heather. Then, he teased her with a smile.Heather was still in business attire today, but her uniform wasn't the usual black and white color from before.She wore a white blouse and a light pink pencil skirt. Her stilettos were pale gold in color. Business attire in these colors didn't suit everyone. Without the right conditions, the wearer would look old and outdated. But Heather looked very nice in it.Heather was at her prime age. She had exquisite
Heather didn't want to be falsely accused, so she felt that she should explain herself."Mr. Elkin, nothing is going on between Mr. Lewis and me. He just noticed that I was sick, and he was kind enough to lend me his jacket."Kind…Tyrone scoffed mockingly. "Ms. Sutton, men always have ulterior motives when they're kind to you."Heather felt a little exasperated. "Mr. Elkin, Mr. Lewis is just concerned about me as a colleague. Don't assume that everyone is like you.""What exactly do you mean by that?"Heather was still too shy. She glanced at him, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.But Tyrone helped her with that. "Do you mean everyone wants to sleep with you, like me?"Heather fell silent.Couldn't he have some decency when he talked about things like that?What happened to the coldness he had during the meeting just now?Tyrone glared at her. "I want to sleep with you, and I told you very clearly. Do you think he doesn't want to sleep with you? Ms. Sutton, I can't
Heather's body was soft and tender, and it was like a ball of warmth.Tyrone was caught off guard by her hug. He frowned a little."Ms. Sutton, if you don't let go right now, I don't mind helping you sweat it out in another way!"She was unconscious, but he was very much awake. He could hardly resist her seduction.Heather was mumbling something.When Tyrone listened in, he realized that she was repeating words like "Mom, don't leave."She had actually mistaken him for her mother!Tyrone's expression instantly darkened. He said in annoyance, "Heather, wake up!"If you don't wake up now, I'll be deducting your pay!"Heather, on the count of three, if you don't wake up, I'll fire you!"But Heather remained unresponsive.Tyrone was rarely this helpless. He was furious.He had the urge to pinch the woman in his arms to wake her, but when he saw her sickly face, for some reason, he lowered his hand.In the end, he could only put his arms around her as he sat down on the couch.
"Huh?""What's that look on your face, Heather? Did you think that I took advantage of you on purpose?" Tyrone stared coldly at her.Heather fell silent.She had indeed thought that.She didn't believe that she would do something like holding onto him and refusing to let go.Tyrone's expression darkened. "You dreamed of your mom, and you mistook me for her. You kept holding onto me and refused to let go!"He had even kept watch over her wrist, and when the IV drip was complete, he removed the needle for her.If he knew things would turn out like this, he shouldn't have bothered with her!A shocked look flashed across Heather's eyes. She remembered holding her mother's hand in her dreams, and she felt like her mother was keeping her company. It felt especially real, too. So it was Tyrone, after all…In reality, it had been years since her mother passed away. She had gotten used to it, and she rarely dreamed about her mother.A forlorn look flashed across Heather's eyes. Out of
