The following day, Charlotte woke up to find herself fully dressed. Still drowsy, she rubbed her eyes and tried to recall the events of the previous night.She remembered drinking a lot, but the details were completely hazy. Sitting in bed, she glanced around and noticed a white shirt folded neatly beside her. It looked distinctly like a man's shirt.Feeling a bit hesitant, she finally decided to put on the shirt. It barely covered her thighs, making her feel both exposed and strangely comfortable. With her mind still foggy from sleep, she stepped out of the room, trying to piece together what had happened the night before.As she entered the living room, all activity abruptly stopped. Every eye turned to her, and she instantly felt the weight of their stares. Scanning the room, she realized a meeting was in progress. The attendees were essential figures in the company and gathered to discuss a crucial project with Sebastian.Charlotte's sudden appearance caused a moment of stunned si
"Nothing happened last night, right?" Charlotte asked uncertainly."You don't remember?" Sebastian's deep eyes stared into hers."I just remember you helping me take a bath, but nothing after that," Charlotte said, embarrassed."Something did happen. We slept in the same bed," Sebastian said with a straight face."Really?" Charlotte blinked, questioning him.She didn't want their interactions always to occur when she was drunk. The first time had been her initiative, but this time, she wasn't sure if she had been too drunk, if she had been the one to initiate it, or what exactly had happened."Yes, in the same bed," Sebastian said, a slight smile on his lips. "Do you wish something had happened?"Charlotte blushed at his words. "I just don't want any misunderstandings between us."Sebastian's gaze softened. "Don't worry. Nothing happened that you wouldn't have wanted."Charlotte sighed in relief but still felt a bit awkward. She tried to piece together the fragments of last night in he
**Chapter 27**"My dear secretary, are you looking at me like you want to eat me up?" Sebastian teased."If I could, I wouldn't mind you eating me up," Charlotte retorted with a grin."No, no, I was just saying you have quite an impressive physique," Charlotte said, embarrassed."If you want, this body could be yours for the next three years," Sebastian said, pointing to himself.Charlotte finally realized he was referring to the marriage proposal."Um, about that…" Charlotte sighed, "Your proposal puts me in a difficult position."Sebastian stepped forward, taking her hand, "I understand your concerns. But I want you to know, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."Charlotte looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Sebastian. I've been thinking about it these past few days, and I feel…"She paused, choosing her words carefully, "I need more time to get to know you and understand our relationship. I don't want to make a decision on a whim."Sebastian nodded, "I respect your
Chapter 28 "Nathan, this is George, is uncle out?" Sebastian and Charlotte inside the door heard George and Sebastian's assistant Nathan outside the door asking about him. "Sebastian, let me go." Charlotte didn't want George to know about her early relationship with Sebastian. Although they are both single now and they decided on all relationships, she didn't want to be too high-profile working in this group. "Charlotte, are you worried that George will be jealous?" Sebastian said dissatisfiedly. While speaking, he bit Charlotte's chest hard as if punishing her. "Sebastian, what are you doing? Let me go," Charlotte exclaimed. "I want my nephew to hear our happiness," Sebastian said bluntly. Charlotte found that this CEO was a little high-profile and had a childish temper. It seemed like he was fighting for toys with his nephew. "Am I the toy you fought for before?" Charlotte was dissatisfied. "Uncle, this is George. I know you are inside. I think I heard Charlotte
Hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian's gaze softened slightly, but his resolve remained unshaken. He leaned in closer, his warm breath brushing against her ear. "Charlotte, the contract is just a formality. What matters is what we have now."Charlotte stared at him; her heart filled with conflicting emotions. She felt a mix of desire and apprehension. This wasn't just a business agreement; it was about their complicated past and turbulent feelings. "Sebastian, I need to think it over carefully," she said, gently pushing him away. "I can't make a hasty decision, especially with George so close."Sebastian sighed, reluctantly letting her go. "Alright, Charlotte. But remember, I won't give up on us." He stood up, straightening his dishevelled clothes. "I'll give you some space to think, but don't take too long."As Sebastian approached the door, Charlotte watched him, feeling relief and longing. Once he was gone, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. She needed to clea
When Charlotte arrived, Sebastian was already waiting, draped in a simple bathrobe that exuded elegance.As she entered, he looked up, his expression serious. His wolf-like eyes locked onto hers, causing her to pause. She had never seen Sebastian look at her with such intensity, which made her nervous. "Charlotte, we need to discuss what's happening between us."She nodded, sitting across from him. "Yes, we do. George..."Before she could finish, Sebastian moved closer, opening his bathrobe to reveal nothing underneath. She was stunned by his boldness. "Do you like what you see?" he asked, knowing Charlotte, with her background in art, appreciated the human form.It was a blatant seduction tactic she hadn't expected from him. Her friends knew she enjoyed studying well-defined male physiques, particularly those with prominent abdominal muscles. Her gaze travelled from Sebastian's face—his high cheekbones, perfectly sculpted features, deep-set eyes reflecting her image, and sensual lip
After Sebastian left, the room became quiet. Charlotte stood up and went to the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw the flush of passion on her face. Her body was covered in love bites—this domineering CEO liked leaving his mark on her. She recalled Sebastian's passionate demeanour, which differed from the CEO she knew at work.But at that moment, she didn't want to stay in the room and wait for him to return. She had her own life and places she wanted to visit. Since her task of accompanying him on his business trip to Feia was finished, she wanted to explore on her own. Feia, located in the Mediterranean region, was a place of scenic beauty.Charlotte dressed in a beautiful skirt, applied delicate makeup, and went to the seaside. The sea breeze was gentle, the sun was bright, and Charlotte felt a sense of freedom and relaxation she hadn't experienced before. She walked along the shoreline, enjoying the soft sand and the calm sea waves lapping at her ankles.After
Sebastian walked steadily to Charlotte's side, gently patting her shoulder before turning to George and David. His presence made the two men stop, and they stood there panting heavily."What do you think you're doing?" Sebastian's voice was calm and authoritative, imbued with an undeniable power.George wiped the sweat from his face, a mix of anger and confusion on his features."Uncle, he's interfering with my relationship with Charlotte."David, equally agitated, said, "I just want Charlotte to know that someone will cherish her more."Sebastian gave them a cold look, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "George, David, your actions only make things difficult for Charlotte. Relationships should be pursued with sincerity, not with fists." He thought it might be best if they continued fighting, allowing him to benefit from their conflict. He wouldn't have intervened if it weren't for his concern that Charlotte might accidentally get hurt. Yes, the domineering CEO was quite cunning.Geo
