Tamara was rendered speechless.She couldn’t focus on the book in her hand any longer. She furrowed her brows and said, “Thank you, but I don’t like coffee.”Jervis replied, “How about some juice? They have a pretty good selection over here. What would you like to drink?”Tamara said, “I don’t want anything. Mr. Darson, it’d be best if you waited for President Custry in the lounge. He’ll be here soon.”Jervis sounded incredibly disappointed. “I just wanted to chat a little more with you, pretty lady. It’s clear to me now that you don’t like me.”Tamara remained silent.As if she would like him!Tamara did not say anything, and Jervis’ voice could no longer be heard.Only then did she relax. She hoped the man would stop bothering her. If she got angry, Custry Corporation might end up losing one of its business partners.Tamara continued to read the book silently. However, after a few long hours, Sebastian’s meeting showed no indication of ending anytime soon. She was bored out
Sebastian’s expression darkened. He took the elevator down to the basement.It didn’t matter how Jervis spent his personal time. However, Custry Corporation was on the cusp of securing a business deal with DK Corporation. If they secured the deal, Custry Corporation would prosper more than ever.In the parking lot basement.Sebastian’s tall figure emerged from the elevator as the doors opened. Jerome was hot on his tail, and a few security guards could be seen attempting to keep the situation under control. Jervis stood off to the side, covered in bruises. He gave the person surrounded by the guards a hateful glare.“Beat her to death! Make sure she learns her lesson. I can’t believe I had to suffer such humiliation coming here! I’m going to reconsider working with Custry Corporation!”Upon hearing that, the security guards panicked.They knew who Jervis was, after all. He was someone that Custry Corporation wanted to work with. If this incident caused the business deal to fail,
In the parking lot, a scream that sounded like it came from a banshee echoed.After a rough kick, the bones in one of Jervis’ legs broke.Sebastian grabbed him by the collar, then glared at him furiously. “How dare you even think about touching what’s mine.”Jervis let out a pained wail. He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Seb, please just let me off the hook…”Sebastian did not seem intent on doing that. He gathered his strength, which was far greater than Tamara’s, and punched Jervis. Jervis eventually passed out from the pain!Sebastian fixed his collar afterward. His handsome, charming face exuded hostility as he regarded Jervis’ unconscious body with disdain. He looked at him like he was dirt on his shoes.Tamara was precious to him. He was willing to give his everything to make sure she never got hurt!Jervis, the bastard, really deserved to die!“Sebastian.”Tamara called out to him.Sebastian turned toward her right away. The ferocity in his e
Cheryl let out a sigh. “That young lady is really quite wonderful. Why can’t Jay be less of a dummy?”Never in a million years would Tamara think that Jay would do something like that.“Let me call him. I’ll get some details about what happened.” Tamara couldn’t believe her ears. She decided that it would be best to ask Jay herself.“Alright, go ahead. Help me give Jay some good advice, okay? I don’t know why my sons are so hopeless when it comes to women,” Cheryl said.Tamara was rendered speechless.Aunt Cheryl could be a little bit too much at times……Tamara went upstairs to give Jayden a call.“Tammy.” Jayden’s gentle voice rang out.Tamara braced herself, then asked, “Aunt Cheryl went to the research institute today, didn’t she? I think she must’ve misunderstood what happened. Jay, you didn’t set Camilla up with another man, did you?”Jayden huffed out a laugh. “Of course not. I don’t like playing matchmaker. I only asked Camilla to show the new intern around.”Tamara
Tamara was rendered speechless.She sighed.In the laboratory.Kayla remained unconscious.Tamara eyed her for a moment, then retracted her gaze. She glanced over at Jayden and asked, “Jay, you said the research was getting trickier by the minute. What did you mean by that?”Jayden pointed at a chair, indicating for Tamara to sit down. Then, he took the seat across from her and said, “I’ve been studying curses for several years now, so I’m pretty adept at all sorts. The more I researched, the deeper my understanding grew. I found that the cursed bug in Kayla’s body is anything but ordinary.”Tamara was still confused. “What do you mean?”“It could be a top-tier cursed bug. It could have been easily removed if it had been of the ordinary type. However, if it were a top-tier one, it would be extremely difficult to deal with,” Jayden explained, reaching up to push his glasses up.Tamara was shocked. “Cursed bugs can be classified at different levels?”Jayden nodded. “I don’t have
When Tamara quickly turned to look, she noticed Camilla sitting down on the other side of the bar. Then she ordered a drink from the bartender and began drinking on her own.The bar’s lights were dim. The colorful lights shone on her from time to time, yet she did not seem to feel them. She sipped on her drink, and the cold aura she embodied seemed out of place in the bar.Tamara wanted to head over, but when she noticed how hostile Camilla seemed, she figured Camilla probably wouldn’t appreciate her company.She couldn’t help but purse her lips and think, “What is Camilla doing here all by herself?”As time passed, more and more people filtered into the bar. Camilla’s coldness was alluring, which ignited some men’s desire to dominate her. A handful of men could be seen eyeing Camilla from time to time.Tamara hurriedly took out her phone and sent Jayden her location. Then, she texted, “Jay, I saw Camilla in the bar. Something seems off about her. I think she might’ve been drugged
Camilla couldn’t help but let out a soft moan. She opened her hazy eyes and was met with a handsome face staring at her from close up.She moved her lips, wanting to say something. However, an odd sensation surrounded her lips, so she subconsciously licked them.Jayden hurriedly straightened up. Breathing heavily, he glanced at Camilla and said, “You’re drunk. I’m going to get you coffee.”With that, he left the room in a hurry.Camilla stared up at the ceiling, feeling stunned. She was almost certain she had kissed Mr. Moore—if her senses hadn’t been mistaken.Did she kiss Mr. Moore?Camilla flushed bright red at the thought, but she couldn’t stop the excitement that lit up her eyes. She quickly covered her face.There was no way she could keep up her usual cold facade.At this moment, she acted like a shy little girl. She tried to recall the sensations she had felt just moments ago.She couldn’t feel much because the kiss had been too brief.However, a bold thought suddenly
Camilla looked up at the man who was inches away from her in shock. The gentle facade Jayden usually sported was nowhere to be found. The man before her was staring down at her coldly.The Jayden she knew was nothing like this!“Let go of me! Jayden Moore, get up…” Camilla began to struggle.She was terrified of Jayden at this moment. His eyes showed no kindness, and his words were full of thorns.Why did he keep talking about money? He even asked her to name her price…How could he say that to her? Camilla couldn’t fathom it.Her heart throbbed painfully in her chest as she struggled. It felt as if Jayden had stomped on it cruelly, causing a burning sensation in her heart. She wanted to stay as far away from this man as possible!When Jayden saw the disbelief in Camilla’s eyes, he chuckled lightly, then let go of her.She jumped to her feet as soon as she was freed. However, the bath towel wrapped around her suddenly loosened, revealing her perfect figure, which was mesmerizin
