The warm breath overwhelmed all of Lydia's senses, making her fearful yet irresistibly drawn to the man.The familiar warmth made her reluctant to let go. In the next second, Lydia felt herself being lifted into the air.Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around Lambert's neck, feeling utterly safe nestled in his embrace.After closing the bedroom door, they passionately kissed each other, as if only through this could they fully express their intense emotions.Lambert's strong fingers replaced his lips and tongue, teasing Lydia's skin inch by inch, igniting her desire.Her fair skin blushed a faint pink, like a delicate flower, sweet and irresistible.Lambert had reached his limit of endurance. The woman before him was his wife, his lover.His heart sank deeper and deeper for her, his body screamed to possess and claim her completely.Even though this wasn't their first time together, he still felt as if their souls were merging.In the moments when they were united, they realized t
Lambert hung up the phone, leaving Andrew in a daze. He put down his phone and glanced again at the apartment door, which had been closed for three days.Stumbling slightly, he walked into the elevator, his face pale as a sheet.He had let his love slip away with his own hands!At that moment, Andrew almost berated himself for his foolishness, but then he thought about Lydia's future happiness.His own suffering seemed trivial in comparison.He loved her; it wasn't about her. This was his own love, and as long as she was happy, that was enough.Andrew exited the apartment building in a daze. The weather outside was beautiful, with the blazing sun filtering through the roadside trees.The brightness made Andrew cover his eyes, which began to burn.Eventually, tears started to fall through his fingers, making him feel incredibly fragile.Lydia had no idea that while she was regaining her happiness, a man was weeping for her. At that moment, Lambert was guiding her into a car."Where are
Pag wanted to explain further, but Lambert had no interest in hearing more.He waved his hand, signaling for Bob to take the woman away. Then, he grasped Lydia's hand. "Lydia, do you believe me now?"Lydia nodded. In truth, she had believed Lambert hadn't betrayed her since he brought her here. Hearing Pag's words only solidified her belief that Pag was behind everything.Despite her annoyance with Pag, Lydia couldn't help but worry that Lambert's actions might be inappropriate."Lambert, what are you going to do with Pag? Will she report to the police? After all, kidnapping someone is illegal."Lambert smirked and leaned down to kiss Lydia's forehead. "Are you worried about me?""Of course. What if something happens to you?"Lydia blurted out before blushing at her own words. Lambert chuckled softly. "Lydia, do you think I'm that foolish? Don't worry, I'll just give her a small lesson. Nothing serious."Lydia felt a bit reassured, although Lambert's idea of a "lesson" wasn't as simpl
Craig pushed his glasses up. "I'm not sure either. I just got to the office today. But from what I see, Steven, you don't need to worry. Your recent performance has been excellent, and the boss even praised you privately!"Upon hearing this, Steven breathed a sigh of relief. If even Craig said so, then he had nothing to worry about.The two of them proceeded to the boss's office and found the atmosphere inside heavy.Lambert sat behind his large desk, exuding a gloomy aura. There was a hint of displeasure in his expression, as if he was in a bad mood.Steven and Craig exchanged a glance, then Steven spoke up, "Boss, is something bothering you? Did I do something wrong recently? Please don't hesitate to give feedback."Lambert rubbed his temples. "It's not about you. Craig, I need you to check on the current situation of Lydia's studio. I want detailed information by this afternoon. And Steven, prepare a plan for acquisition.""Acquisition?" Steven was puzzled. "We don't have any acqui
"I see, thank you for the reminder. I hope we can still cooperate in the future," Lydia's tone carried a hint of melancholy.Although she hoped these people would stay, she was acutely aware that even if they did, it wouldn't change the current situation.Lydia sat there, not even knowing when Jafar and the others had left. Prima walked in with red eyes. "Madam, what should we do now? We only have four designers left, and two of them are interns from design school."Lydia furrowed her brow, her palms clenched so tightly her nails dug into her skin.But she didn't feel the pain.There was no light in her eyes, and the thought of her years of hard work going to waste made her heart ache like a knife cutting through it.Jafar was right; she had no talent for business.Even though she had established the studio, she seemed unable to manage it properly.Back in Paris, her success was largely due to not having to manage a studio. She just needed to focus on designing.Prima stood there wait
"You should take a look at your studio; there's hardly anyone left!" Ryan was pressing."I don't need your concern," Lydia's tone was equally firm. In her heart, the studio was like her child, and she would never sell her child!Lydia's defiance thoroughly angered Ryan. He sneered, "Lydia, I'm willing to sit here and discuss cooperation with you out of respect. But honestly, your small studio doesn't really matter much to me.""Is that so? Then why are you so determined to acquire my company? Clearly, it still holds some value, doesn't it?""You!" Ryan was rendered speechless by Lydia's words. But Lydia didn't want to waste any more words on him. She turned to Prima and said, "Escort Mr. Ryan out."Ryan sneered, "Lydia, it seems you're stubborn to the end. Well, let me show you something."The secretary who had come with Ryan immediately took out a document from his briefcase and placed it in front of Lydia. Ryan suddenly chuckled, "Oh, I almost forgot you can't see anymore. So, Prima
Lambert sneered coldly, his indifferent gaze sweeping over Ryan, making him feel a chill down his spine."No choice? Mr. Ryan, you really overestimate yourself. Craig, please show this Mr. Ryan what's what, so he doesn't get confused!" Lambert ordered."Yes!" Craig signaled to the lawyer beside him, and a formal document was placed in front of Ryan.It clearly stated the acquisition of Lydia's studio by Universal Conglomerate, making it a subsidiary.Ryan's eyes widened in disbelief, especially when he saw that the contract was dated today!It was obvious that the decision had been made as soon as they received the news.No matter how much he refused to believe it, the contract was valid!And with this, his plan to acquire the studio was completely ruined!Ryan slumped in his chair, realizing that his schemes to trap Lydia had backfired on him.He had dug a hole for Lydia to fall into, but he had ended up falling into it himself?Frustration overwhelmed him! Argh!"Do you understand n
All the previous feelings of loss and frustration quietly disappeared in this warmth. Lambert turned his head to look, and the soft yellow light gently illuminated Lydia's face, making her look incredibly beautiful.With a faint smile on her lips and her long eyelashes drooping, covering her beautiful eyes, she looked like a graceful butterfly. Lambert felt intoxicated.As the music ended, Lambert asked, "Want to give it a try?""What?" Lydia was still immersed in the melodious music, taking a while to come back to reality. "But I don't know how.""It's okay. Just follow me."As Lambert spoke, he stood up and walked behind Lydia, suddenly lifting her up. Lydia let out a surprised cry, and before she knew it, she was sitting on Lambert's lap, her cheeks blushing.Then, a strong hand held Lydia's fingers, guiding her to dance across the keyboard.When the simple yet beautiful music flowed out, joy filled Lydia's face. She turned her head. "Did I succeed?""Yes! I told you, you're amazin
