Revenge in Silk Chapter 30. What would you like to discuss, Mr. Lynch?
Since neither I, Cody, nor Sasha—the chosen ones from the Advertising Department—had brought a car to the office, Lukas generously borrowed us his red Volvo to drive to River Lynch's office."Where is your car anyway?" Cody, who was driving, asked."It's being repaired," I lied, silently signaling Cody not to talk about it further because there was someone else who could hear.Shasa sat in the back seat. She was focused on studying Cody's notes while opening her tablet. She had represented the advertising division twice at the Sèduisant brand anniversary project team meeting. Cody chose the right person. Or maybe it wasn't Cody who chose her? Either she volunteered or the Head of the Advertising Department assigned her.Cody nodded at my perfunctory answer, though even from the side of his face I could tell he was smiling meaningfully. "What's broken?" he asked again, testing. God, I wanted to crack his head!"I don't really know," I replied irritably, then an idea popped into my head
Revenge in Silk Chapter 31. We are totally messed up
Richard opened a door that was slightly different from the others and motioned for me to enter. And the first thing I see was River sitting behind his desk. He was no longer wearing his suit, which I later saw was hanging on a standing hanger by the large window behind his desk."What would you like to discuss, Mr. Lynch?" I asked politely, anticipating that there was someone else in the room.With a smooth motion, River rose from his chair. "A lot," he replied as he walked towards me. I'm lost in how time seems to slow down as he steps closer to me. "There's a lot I want to discuss," he said again, his voice soft in my ear. He pulled me close, his hand cupping my cheek, and I felt like I was hypnotized by the warmth of that touch.My knees suddenly felt like jelly when his lips pressed against mine, and I would have collapsed backwards if his hands hadn't been wrapped tightly around my waist. "What if someone—""No one will know," he cut in and grabbed my lips again."But Richard?" I
Revenge in Silk Chapter 32. You have to take your words back
"So, Richard does know about us?" I asked as I fiddled with the buttons on his pajamas. We were on River's bed, lying down with his big arm under my head."Something like that," he replied simply, his hand playing with my brown hair."You could have just sent me a text message to see you. Why did you have to get Richard to lie?""It's you who doesn't want people to know about us, isn't it?" he retorted calmly. I recalled where I had said to River about people in my office not needing to know about my relationship with River—which at the time referred to an on-agreement relationship. However, even though Cody (only Cody) knew about my relationship with River back then, he still didn't know that our relationship was different now. "It would make more sense to your colleagues if I brought up the work thing.""You have a point...," I muttered, looking at his face which was displaying a smug look, as if to say "of course I have". Although a little annoyed, but I didn't mind it, after all i
Revenge in Silk Chapter 32. It's an emergency!
Reminder!December 10, 20xxArt Exhibition at Urban Visions Art Gallery at 8pm. NB: Addy will murder you if you don't show up.I stare at the screen of my phone lying on the makeup table. That's right. This was Addy's special day. I then searched for Addy's contact, intending to send her a text message.(This is a big day for you! Stay upbeat and confident, I hope everything goes smoothly and successfully. I know you can do it! I love you!)Right after I put the phone back on the table, River came out of the walk in closet. He had put on a dark gray suit in which he wore a navy blue shirt and a striped tie. Oh my God, why is he so hot? I then shook my head, trying to come back to reality.River grinned when he caught my expression. "You know, don't you, that you can kiss me anytime if you want?"I hurriedly shifted my gaze to the vanity mirror, pretending to fix my hair with a small grunt. It wasn't until later that I remembered what my brain had wanted me to do since a few seconds ag
Revenge in Silk Chapter 34. I want us back to the way we were
"Are you okay if I go now?" I asked Addy, feeling bad. "Hey, it's fine, really, the event will be over soon too." Addy rubbed my arm comfortingly. "You should go. River needs you.” Addy said her last sentence while deliberately glancing at Evan.I sighed, knowing she was right. "Alright, thanks.” As if remembering something, I reached into my bag quickly, took out the car keys and handed them to Addy. "Here, drive my car. I'll text you when I get there." I gave her a quick hug and turned to leave after glancing at Cailin who had not only been silent since earlier, as if she was not part of us, as if she was trying to make herself invisible.I made my way out of the gallery and towards Evan's car, feeling conflicted about our sudden reunion. Wait, I didn't know he had a car. Arrgh.Trying to get out of the awkward situation, I started to ask, "What exactly happened? Is she okay?”"Sharon's condition is stable," Evan replied, his voice tense. "But she needs constant care, and River's
Revenge in Silk Chapter 35. I miss you
As we arrived at Sharon’s house, I could see River standing outside, his shoulders slumped in worry.When Evan finally stopped the car, River walked over. His face looked very tired.I hurriedly unbuckled my seat belt and got out of the car. River was ready to catch me when I walked quickly and threw myself into his arms. I felt my heart skip a beat when I smelled his scent, and the way his arms hugged my waist tightly... oh dear, my stomach felt like it was being tickled."I miss you," I said, intentionally a little loud as Evan passed us and went straight into the house without saying anything.River gently pushed me away, looking me over with concern. "Come on in, you must be cold." He wrapped an arm around my back and led me into the house. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice gentle and understanding.I nodded, managing a small smile. "Yeah," I replied, brushing my hair behind my ear. "Just a little overwhelmed, that's all."River nodded, understanding my situation. He saw the pai
Revenge in Silk Chapter 36. You have my trust
Although I tried to close my eyes, drowsiness did not come to me. River's breathing was also irregular, I'm sure she was also still awake despite not making a sound since a few minutes ago. Since then, we've been silent in the darkness, hugging each other and pretending to each other that everything is fine.As the silence lingered between us, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. I knew that avoiding the conversation was only delaying the inevitable. I turned my head slightly to look at River, his face illuminated by the dim light coming from the kitchen. His eyes were closed, but I could see the lines on his forehead that I knew were a sign of worry."River..." I began, my voice almost a whisper. "I can't take this anymore, I have to tell you something."River's eyes flicked open, his gaze immediately searching mine. "What is it?" he asked, his voice softer than I'd ever heard it before.I took a deep breath, my chest tightening with each inhale. "The girl I saw with Evan at t
Revenge in Silk Chapter 37. I really didn't know what I was getting into
"How about we just get married?" he said very suddenly, and my brain was instantly unable to think.My eyes were wide open. “What?”My heart ached a little when I realized River had just opened his eyes and looked at me. Regardless of how he affected me by what he said earlier, I knew he didn't mean every word of it. River said it very casually, without any burden at all, just like asking if I had eaten or not. And what really bothered me was the fact that he said it without looking at me, he said it while closing his eyes and leaning back on the couch.My heart broke even more when he shook his head. “Forget it,” he said softly.I let out a soft sigh, my eyes searching his for any clues about what he was thinking.He looked at me, a sad smile on his lips, and then he said, ”I just...I don't know.” River looked at me closely, his eyes full of concern. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I was just... it’s complicated.” He trailed off, lost in thought.As usual, I wanted to try to u
