A hand covered Shaun’s lips before he could kiss Catherine.“When did I owe you a kiss?” Catherine was puzzled. She was about to be defeated by his shamelessness.“The night the day before yesterday.” Shaun took his phone out and showed her the kiss emoji that she had sent him.Catherine’s pretty face flushed when she saw the kiss emoji on the phone. She had done it at the spur of the moment purely with the intention to make this man yearn for her. However, she did not expect him to remember it so well. “Oh, I remember. But… did you go look for Sarah immediately after receiving my emoji?” she asked with a fake smile.“No.”Shaun’s expression stiffened, and he said unnaturally, “I went to take a cold bath after I received it.”“...”Since they were adults, Catherine found herself understanding his words right away.Her eyes widened in disbelief before her cheeks heated up. She was speechless.Seriously? Was it not just an emoji that everyone was using? Why was he so horny?“
“I’m not driving that anymore. Cathy doesn’t like it, so there’s no need to keep it.”Hadley felt embarrassed. “But will an Aston Martin be too cheap? It doesn’t really match your status.”“Never mind. Cathy drives an Aston Martin too. Since she drives a white one, you can get a black one for me. Just nice, we’ll have matching cars.”Shaun hung up after he said that. It was as if changing a sports car to him was as easy as shopping for vegetables. Catherine concentrated on her driving and let him do whatever.As she drove, Shaun said, “This isn’t the way to Hudson Corporation.”“Mm, I’m going to Yule Corporation. The toxin in my dad’s body hasn’t cleared yet, so I’m going to his company to have a look.”It was mainly because Joel told her last night that Old Master Yule had agreed to let Melanie return to the company. As such, she had to go and take a look personally. Otherwise, Yule Corporation would become a total mess because of Melanie and her father again. “If you’re goi
Having not managed the company’s affairs for many years, Old Master Yule was dragged into today’s meeting coincidentally by Melanie. However, Charlie’s speech had moved him. He was most upset about the fact that Yule Corporation would never be one of the top three wealthiest families in Australia. “Old Master Yule, say something. We believe in your views.” President Parker flattered him. “Now that Director Yule has been poisoned and is not as healthy as he used to be, Yule Corporation can only rely on you.”“That’s right, Old Master Yule. Come back to the company.” A few shareholders advised him. “Campos Corporation has been developing rapidly over the years, and they’ve advanced to the second largest corporation in Australia. I think we shouldn’t miss out on this chance.”“Yes. Regardless of personal grudges, if it weren’t for the e-commerce that we’ve previously established with Campos Corporation, Yule Corporation wouldn’t have developed so fast for the past few years.”“Old
However, Catherine still did not agree to the collaboration with Campos Corporation.“Grandpa, I still think it’s better to inspect this matter thoroughly. For example, after the joint venture has been established, who will provide the professional team? Who will be the managing director? Yule Corporation isn’t well versed in the finance sector, so we don’t have the necessary resources as well. If we step into the sector rashly…”“What do you mean? Are you questioning my decision?” Old Master Yule’s expression darkened. “Catherine, I’ve been in the business world for tens of years. I’m more experienced than you. There’s no need for you to meddle in the affairs of Yule Corporation any more.”“Grandpa, it’s not that I don’t believe in you. I just think that it’s better to discuss this when my dad comes back…”Charlie said sarcastically, “Ms. Jones, are you saying that Old Master Yule isn’t as visionary as you dad?”Old Master Yule became upset when he heard that. “I’ve managed Yule
Charlie looked at her pretty silhouette with a dark expression and wiped his lips hard.Ha! So what if she looked down on him? He would surely teach her a lesson one day. … After returning to the office, Catherine’s head spun from looking at Yule Corporation’s documents for a while. Hence, she started playing games on her phone.When she had finished one round of the game, a player called You’re In My Heart came to form a team with her. Once Catherine approved the request, both of them went onto the battlefield.However, Catherine’s expression went dark just after playing for a while. That player had to be a newbie as he was nowhere to be found after parachuting. She could not help but turn on her microphone and reminded, “Hey! Hey sister, stop running around. You’ll trespass the border if you go any further and die.”“I’m a guy. Which way should I go?” The raspy voice of a man came from the game. Catherine was almost captivated. That voice was too sexy, and it sounded a
“Who’s your babe?” Catherine snapped. “Shaun, aren’t you a president? Do you have a lot of spare time to disturb me in my games?”“I’ve earned enough money. The most important thing right now is to pick up girls and get a girlfriend.” Shaun’s reply was confident. “It’s my duty to accompany my girlfriend to play games.”Catherine held her forehead. “How on earth did you find my account?”She remembered that she did not register her WhatsApp number in the game. “I noticed it when you were playing that game on the day we watched a movie,” Shaun said in a low voice. “This is my first time playing games. I used to think playing games is a waste of life, but now I understand that being in a game with the person I love is pretty romantic too.”Although they were on a call, Catherine got goosebumps from his flirting. She did not know how to continue the conversation.“Good girl. What time are you getting off work this evening? I’ll pick you up.” Shaun continued flirting with her in a ge
Unexpectedly, the roof of the sports car was very low.Shaun was directly above her head. So when she raised her head, he was lowering his body, and her juicy lips just so happened to brush his thin lips. The air went still.Shaun’s throat tightened. He felt as if sparks were thrown into a bunch of firewood and ignited a flame. He stared at her. Looking closely, he realized that Catherine had very good skin. She did not have a pore nor a pimple. Yet under his gaze, a pink layer of hue gradually tainted her milky-white skin, making her look even more stunning.“Go away.” Catherine pushed him away.“I’ll go away after another kiss.” Shaun held his body still. Although it was just a light kiss, he could not forget the taste of it. It felt like he was finally liberated after tens of years of being a celibate.“What do you mean by ‘another’? That was just an accidental touch.” Catherine retorted awkwardly.“I don’t think so.” There was a smile in Shaun’s eyes. “I won’t go if we do
“I know. That’s why I’m not too bothered about it. Since my grandpa is insistent on collaborating with the Campos family, then I won’t meddle in their affairs, lest I lose out on both sides.” Catherine shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. “To be honest, I don’t have any attachments to the Yule family and Yule Corporation.”“Mm, you don’t have to care much about Yule Corporation. Since you’ll be my wife in the future, and the whole of Hill Corporation will be yours.” Shaun suddenly grabbed her hand. “You have Australia’s wealthiest man in your hands.”“Forget it. After all, women have to rely on themselves. Perhaps… you’ll abandon me again.”Catherine withdrew her hand. Her eyes were downcast to conceal the coldness in her eyes.“It’s fine if you don’t believe me. I have plenty of time to prove it to you.” Shaun smiled calmly.Catherine looked at his side profile, puzzled. “Aren’t you worried that the Campos family will become the wealthiest family in Australia after they take over
