Falling for My Contract Lover "I don't like it"
His searing kisses lingered on her skin, reluctant to part even for a moment.Emily felt herself melting under his touch like a quiver might send her sliding off the seat. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson; she half-resisted, half-surrendered in his embrace, whispering, "Are you serious about this?""Are you playing pretend?" Murray paused, propping himself up on his arms to gaze down at her, his half-closed eyes brimming with desire.The man's intense aura enveloped her, a hint of mint fragrance in the air, "Don't you find it thrilling?"Emily bit her lip, nodding shyly, her face flush in embarrassment. Outside, the rush hour traffic was in full swing, with bustling crowds and a whirl of activity. Inside the car, they were a picture of intimacy, a stirring scene indeed."Shall we continue?" Murray's voice was dangerously enticing.Her cheeks blushing furiously, Emily timidly reached down to unbuckle his belt."Are you sure about doin

The restaurant boasted chefs from various countries, allowing customers who booked the entire venue to choose their preferred cuisine.Despite knowing Murray preferred mild flavors and couldn't handle spicy food, Emily deliberately chose Spanish dishes, emphasizing extra spicy."Just as Miss Rockefeller wishes," Murray said casually, loosening his suit button and sitting down with an air of nonchalance."What would you like to drink?" he asked Emily."Dry white wine," Emily replied quickly.Murray slightly furrowed his brow, then instructed the waiter, "Get one from the L winery, any vintage or grade."After the waiter left, he sat up straight, leaning back in his chair while elegantly folding his napkin onto his lap. He lifted his eyelids to look at Emily, "Satisfied?"Emily propped her head with her hands, her eyes crinkling into a smile, and let out a light "hmm.""Too bland? Want to change it?" Murray wasn't fond of white w
Last Updated : 2023-12-07Falling for My Contract Lover “Where did you meet that girl?”
“What are you doing!” The woman's shrill voice quivered with shock.Murray’s momentary panic, sparked by the sudden lighting of the room, quickly faded, replaced by his usual composure.He calmly rose from Emily, his upper body bare. First, he reached for his trousers, slipping into them nonchalantly as he drawled, “Mom? Still playing the surprise inspection game?”Was the screamer Murray’s mom?Emily suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment, akin to a young girl caught in an early romance, brought home by a boy for mischief, and nabbed by the parents.For the first time, she felt exposed.Head bowed, she wished she could vanish into the couch.Unfazed and bare-chested, Murray sat beside her, casually picking up his suit jacket from the floor and draping it over Emily.Emily, unlike him, couldn't be so shameless. She glanced at the tattered T-shirts and underwear strewn across the carpet, mental

"It's simply not acceptable, Murray. You're not getting any younger, and it's time to consider marriage. What respectable young lady would fancy someone who frolics around like you?"Murray was at a loss for words, finding her back at square one.He couldn't be bothered to argue with Georgia.Rising from his seat, Murray headed to the bar and poured himself a whiskey, adding a generous amount of ice cubes to cool himself.He really couldn't fathom his mother meddling at the worst possible moments. Did she not fear for her son's well-being?And what about her desire for grandchildren?"You will break up with that girl immediately!" Georgia commanded."We're not even in a relationship. What is there to break up?" Murray downed his drink in one gulp, replying nonchalantly.Georgia stood up and walked over to the bar, stopping him from pouring another drink, "You know what I mean!"Murray smirked, patting her hand and noddin

On the other end, Cornelius returned the call, "Mr. Gibson, Miss Rockefeller has safely arrived at the school. As for that black car, I will have someone investigate it..."After hanging up, Murray returned to the living room, where Georgia emerged from the kitchen, their eyes meeting.Georgia's eyes were fixed on Murray, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something.Murray, anticipating her words, quickly ascended the stairs with his long strides, "Mom, I have things to do; I can't stay to chat."Watching his retreating, Georgia sighed and called out louder, "Don't stay up too late; get some rest."As a mother, she knew what was in her son's heart. How he cared about that girl, Emily, showed his genuine affection. But being born into the Gibson family, mere affection was not eno

Emily had left the apartment complex with strict security protocols preventing taxis from entering. After walking a bit, she saw a few private cars parked along the road and casually got into one. The driver, a middle-aged man, noticed her coming from the upscale Snowy Motel and heading to Q University. His gaze on Emily carried a hint of unsavory intent. Throughout the ride, Emily was absorbed in thoughts about subtly bringing up the No. 9 Pier project to Elton. She was so preoccupied that she didn’t pay attention to her surroundings. It was only when she noticed the increasing darkness outside her peripheral vision that she looked up. The view was pitch black, with overgrown weeds. Though Q University was in the suburbs, and parts of the route from the city were poorly lit, it wasn't normal for the view outside to be completely obscured. Suspecting the driver was up to something, possibly taking a back route, she asked in a calm tone, “Drive

Emily, aiming to bolster her credibility, shared numerous details about Boyce Holt, from the brand of cigarettes he smoked to his preference for a particular whiskey vintage.Nora now wholly believed Emily's claims and her gaze toward Emily was filled with barely concealed loathing.Emily pretended not to notice, acting like a gold-digger who had hit the jackpot. She boasted even more, "Boyce Holt said he's buying me a bright red Ferrari soon. It's so gorgeous...""By the way, what kind of car do you drive, sis? Is it as good as a Ferrari?" Emily turned her head with a radiant smile.Nora thought of her Mini Cooper, which she had only managed to get after more than years with Boyce and much pestering. Her frustration was palpable."My car is just a regular one, not often used. It's mainly because parking is a hassle. When you come here next time, it's better not to drive. Getting stuck in traffic during peak hours is the worst.""I see, I'll

Emily stood before the photo for a long time, silent and introspective. Her eyelids slightly drooped, her eyes filled with a dense emotion as if her soul had merged into the picture, seeking answers from the lovers depicted...."You lost!"At the glass railing on the second floor of the exhibition hall, Stacey extended her hand towards Murray, "A bet's a bet."Murray chuckled softly, lightly tapping her open palm in acknowledgment.They had made a bet earlier, with Murray asserting that no one here would genuinely appreciate the art itself, but rather, they were more interested in the Zechariah family's event.Stacey Zechariah disagreed. She believed that someone would indeed connect with her work sincerely.And then Emily walked in. At first glance, she seemed like a young, beautiful college student, but her eyes held depths like an unfathomable, dark pool.Stacey was convinced that Emily could understand the stories her phot

In the coffee shop, Murray pushed aside his sugar-added coffee, a gesture Stacey noticed as her hand paused, spoon in mid-air. "What's wrong?""I never add sugar to my coffee," Murray said with a smile."Before..." Stacey started, then stopped, realizing the significance. What used to be was in the past; now it was a different story."Why did you ask me to come here?" Stacey dropped the spoon into the cup, a droplet of dark brown liquid splashing onto the white saucer, starkly visible.Murray looked puzzled. "Wasn't it you who invited me?"Stacey, half amused and half irritated, pulled out her phone, tapped a few times, and pushed it toward Murray.A message inviting her for a meeting, signed by Murray, flashed on the screen.Murray frowned; he had received a similar message from the same number. He dialed the number from Stacey's phone, which was quickly answered. "How is it going? Did Murray show up? Talk it out. After so many

"Is it well peeled?" Holding up the neatly peeled apple, Emily smiled with her eyes curving into crescents. "Look, I didn't break the peel even once."Elton opened his mouth but suddenly found himself at a loss for words. An invisible wall stood between them, unseen yet palpably separating them."Mr. Cromwell, may I come in?" Sandy stood at the door with her laptop, her arrival seemingly a rescue for Elton."Come in."Emily stood up. "If you need to discuss work, I won't intrude."Elton politely insisted it was okay for her to stay, but Emily mentioned that now that she, too, worked at the company, it was proper to follow protocol.Elton didn't press her to stay any longer.Before leaving, Sandy gave Emily a knowing wink, and Emily nodded in understanding.Once outside the hospital, Emily searched on her phone for the nearest mall. She planned to do some shopping. Ronald had called her, pleading for her to attend his mother's b
Falling for My Contract Lover "Shall I peel an apple for you?"
Entering the office, the supervisor perused Emily's file, her brows knitting into a tight knot. This resume was the most outlandish she had ever seen since joining the company. However, the more outlandish it was, the clearer it became that this girl was no ordinary employee.She gestured for Emily to sit, her tone softening slightly, "Your team members have formally accused you of malicious competition."As Emily predicted, those two must have claimed that she had hidden other members' reports to favor her own.Emily remained expressionless. "Was it Lydia or Karen?"The supervisor was taken aback by her directness. "Both of them have made allegations.""Oh," Emily nodded, meeting the supervisor's gaze calmly, "I assume you investigate such claims."The teacher's eyebrows lifted in surprise; the young lady didn't seem like a novice in the workplace. "Indeed, at Bucapital, a major company, we don't target any employee based solely on an accus
Falling for My Contract Lover "my pain today is because of you"
"Starting to check up on me now?" Murray teased as he playfully kissed Emily, pausing between each peck.Emily dodged his kisses with a smile, "If you're avoiding answering, you must have had dinner with a woman."Murray pinched her cheek lightly, "Even if there were women at the dinner, they were business partners. Does gender really matter?""Fair enough," Emily said, pushing his shoulders to sit up. "I have a question for you."Seeing her serious expression, Murray couldn't help but smile."Be serious, don't laugh," Emily chided, tapping his shoulder.Murray composed himself, waiting for her question."If, and I'm just saying if, someone made you choose between me and Stacey, who would you pick?"Murray frowned, "What kind of childish question is that?""Just answer me," Emily urged, shaking his arm.Murray squeezed her hand firmly, his voice cold, "I'd choose to eliminate the person forcing me to make that cho
Falling for My Contract Lover "Who did you have dinner with tonight?"
Caught under the intense gaze of such a handsome man, Donna couldn't bring herself to look up, her face flushing like pomegranate seeds.Emily, noticing Humphrey's look, immediately understood his intentions. She swiftly pulled Donna behind her, speaking firmly, "I'm warning you, don't even think about it."With a puzzled expression, Donna thought to herself, 'The boss is interested in me? Is this really happening?'She discreetly poked Emily's waist, internally pleading, 'Please don't stop the boss from showing interest in me.'Emily, misunderstanding Donna's gesture as fear of offending Humphrey, reassuringly patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm here. He won't dare do anything to you."Humphrey raised an eyebrow and leaned forward to get a better look at Donna. As someone experienced in reading women, he was well aware of what they desired and confident in his allure.Humphrey snapped his fingers at Donna, tilting his chin suggestively,
Falling for My Contract Lover "Miss, has anyone here restricted your freedom?"
As Elton left with Odelia, he avoided Emily's gaze. However, Emily stopped him with a smile, "You should go to the hospital first."Elton looked up, meeting her smiling face. She spoke with concern, but her eyes lacked their usual sparkling brightness. Suddenly, his steps felt unbearably heavy, as if they were laden with lead."Are you coming or not?" Odelia impatiently tugged at his sleeve.Regaining his composure, Elton sighed, hunched over, and slowly shuffled out."If you want to cry, just let it out," Humphrey, lounging on the sofa, his arm supporting his head, said to Emily with an amused smile.Emily sensed a change in the atmosphere after the two left. Humphrey's demeanor shifted from malicious mockery to a gentle familiarity, unintentionally lowering her guard.Standing for so long, her legs had become numb. Emily moved to sit on the sofa opposite Humphrey, her tone calm, "Why should I cry?"Humphrey, lips curled in a meaning
Falling for My Contract Lover "Don't act yet"
As he spoke, Humphrey paused briefly, his gaze unabashedly sweeping over Emily."Out of the two, one must stay with me today. As for who stays, you decide."He leaned back into the sofa, seemingly amused by his own game. Resting his chin on the back of his hand, he chuckled lightly.Emily looked at Elton, seeing him clench his teeth, his eyes bloodshot with anger.Clinging to Humphrey's leg, Odelia complained, "I'm your girlfriend; how can you say such things in front of me?""Girlfriend?" Humphrey laughed so hard his shoulders shook. He wrapped an arm around her, his voice soft but his eyes chillingly cold, "I have many pets, but certainly no girlfriend."Odelia turned pale, incredulous, "You see me as your pet?"Humphrey laughed again, "You're not even a pet, to be precise, a toy.""No, that's not true. You've
Falling for My Contract Lover "you're lucky to have two beautiful sisters"
Emily donned a sleek, all-black ensemble, complete with a baseball cap, and just before stepping out, she clipped a pen to her waist.In the car, her thoughts were in turmoil. She hardly knew Humphrey, but it was clear that he was not someone to be trifled with.Yet, Elton had insisted on keeping the Cromwells in the dark. Contacting the police would blow their cover, so she pondered texting Murray for help but ultimately decided against it, not wanting to drag him into this messy affair.Parking on the Road, she didn't head straight for the back streets. A glance around revealed two traffic officers at the street corner, offering a slight reassurance.She then fished a tiny pepper spray from her pocket, holding it tightly in her palm, before venturing into the dark alley. Fortunately, it was short, and she emerged quickly.Outside, she spotted a tall, lean young man leaning agai

After work, Emily stepped out of the skyscraper, not wanting to return to the villa. She walked slowly along the sidewalk, the city lights just beginning to twinkle. The streets bustled with traffic, and the colorful lights on the overpass lit up like a rainbow arching over the city.The CBD, every inch of it worth its weight in gold, seemed like two different worlds by day and night. The aroma of various street foods wafted from the carts lining the road, stirring up a voracious appetite in passersby."The hustle and bustle of life, it truly soothes the soul," Emily thought, looking up and taking a deep breath. Then, she pulled out her phone and ordered a takeaway for two, hoping to share it with Donna.However, Donna was out at a dinner party.It seemed every time Emily called Donna. Lately, she has been at some social events. Emily couldn't help but wonder what kind of entertainment company Donna
