Both men were stunned upon hearing this.As it turned out, Kelsey was so drunk that she could not tell Cooper's voice from Tyler’s.She assumed it was Tyler who offered to take her home.Cooper's eyes darkened in an instant. His hand was halfway through reaching for Kelsey when it hung suspended in the air.Tyler instinctively tightened his hold on Kelsey. A smirk slowly formed on the corner of his lips.Kelsey had specified that she wanted to go home with him!“Kelsey, are you sure you’re not mistaken? It’s me, Cooper. Don't you want to come with me?” Cooper refused to yield.He felt a surge of anger swelling inside him when he observed the way Kelsey had completely submitted herself into Tyler’s arms.“Oh my god, Tyler, it’s so noisy here!” She frowned irritably and started nudging herself against Tyler. “Can’t you just take me home already?”Something shimmered underneath Tyler’s eyes.This time, he heard it loud and clear.Kelsey was asking him to take her home.He was
However, Cooper was indifferent tonight and hardly reacted to Josephine’s fervent kiss.He kept his eyes open the entire time and stared at Josephine’s features, which closely resembled Kelsey’s.For a moment, he wondered what it would be like if Kelsey kissed him the way Josephine did.Kelsey was born a noble. Compared to Josephine who was born a bastard, she was very conservative.Even though they had dated in the past, she would blush even when they were just holding hands.Sharing a passionate kiss by the roadside was completely out of the question.It was not something Kelsey would ever consider doing.The reason he had been claimed by Josephine was that he had been lured by her otherwise promiscuous personality.Even though Josephine looked sweet and innocent on the outside, she was very experienced with men. She knew how to use her sexual charm.She was simply irresistible to most men.Just like tonight. She was showering Cooper with passionate kisses.However, Cooper
Tyler was stiff with shock. His entire body tensed in response.The girl was deliberately seducing him!Kelsey seemed to be unaware of what she was doing.She curled her lips into a faint smile, then she reached forward and wrapped her arms around Tyler's neck.She was driven by the liquor running through her veins and was acting on her deepest desires.She raised an eyebrow and inched closer to Tyler until at one point, she suddenly called out his name, “Tyler!”“Yeah?” Tyler spoke with a deep, impenetrable look in his eyes.Something stirred in Kelsey’s beautiful eyes. She angled herself toward him and seemed more angelic than ever.“I want to sleep with you!”“…”The car suddenly braked without any warning and jerked violently.It was the driver who accidentally stepped on the brakes upon hearing what Kelsey said.Kelsey was caught off guard by the shift in momentum and nearly fell off Tyler’s lap.Fortunately, Tyler reacted just in time and held her tightly in his arms
However, the entire time he could not shake off the burning question of how Kelsey managed to seduce his boss.Plenty of women had tried to make a move on his boss in the past but Tyler was always disinterested.Yet, his walls had come down in front of Kelsey.It did not seem like the lady had used some extraordinary means to seduce him.Tyler kissed Kelsey fervently and with hunger.Kelsey could breathe in the masculine scent of his body.She felt herself melting into his body.When she tried to match his intensity, Tyler became more excited than ever.Their breaths mingled into one…It was as if somebody had ignited a flame between them. They could not pull away from each other even if they tried.Kelsey did not even realize that she had been pinned to the back seat. Things happened so fast and the zipper of her dress had been pulled open.She did not try to stop Tyler but instead waited for his next move with a deep blush…That was when the driver suddenly stopped the ca
“I want to see Tyler!”Zara was still making a scene downstairs.The driver tried to stop her but was overpowered.It was at that crucial moment when Tyler appeared.“What are you screaming about?”He was visibly unimpressed by the display. A dark, grave look glowed in his eyes.“Tyler!” Zara cried out frantically upon seeing him.The driver cast a helpless look at Tyler. “Boss…”Tyler ordered, “You can go now!”The driver nodded quickly. “Yes, sir!”With that, Tyler and Zara were the only ones left remaining.Zara impatiently rushed to Tyler.“Tyler, why are you still with that girl?” she could not accept it and asked with her voice quaking with anger.The Langs had already broken off the engagement with Youngs. There was no reason for Tyler to associate himself with Kelsey anymore.Why would Kelsey be staying in his villa?She was sure she saw Tyler carrying Kelsey out of his car and into his house. She noticed the way Kelsey’s clothes were disheveled.Only God knew w
“I really don't know them…”“You’re still trying to make excuses?” Tyler stared severely at her. “I have already done my investigation. This group of people are all from the same hometown as your assistant, Janine. These hooligans helped you with many other dirty jobs in the entertainment industry over the years. What you do behind the scenes is none of my concern but now that you have hurt my woman, I will no longer tolerate it. You should be thankful that I am only removing your family from one project, that’s as light as the punishment gets. Would you like me to punish you specifically instead?”Zara felt her heart lurch.She did not expect Tyler to have found out about Janine. It looked like he had found out about everything there was to know.She no longer had any grounds to deny her involvement.However, she was still very upset.“I just told them to give Kelsey a warning, it’s not like they did anything to her.” She complained wryly, “It was Kelsey’s fault to continue pest
It was over, it was all over!Kelsey was hoping to get Tyler back.She was sure Tyler would hate her even more now that she threw up on him.All because she got drunk!If she had known this was going to happen, she would not have drunk so much last night.All things considered, It was not her fault!It was Megan and Charlie’s fault for trying to get her to marry that filthy old Mr. Vernon!After she objected and started a huge argument with them, she resorted to running away!That was how she ended up drinking too much with Yvonne in the bar.She believed there was a man who tried to flirt with her in the bar last night. Around that point, Tyler showed up just in time to save her.Then, she thought about the series of ridiculous things she did and said in her fit of drunkenness last night.She was beyond ashamed.Fortunately, Tyler was not around, otherwise she would not even know how she was supposed to face him!She hurriedly threw off the blanket and got out of bed to g
Kelsey suggested. “How about I do something else instead?”Tyler gave her a look before announcing, “Your punishment will be to cook for me for a week!”Kelsey nearly shrieked. “Cook?”She did not know how to cook.Tyler narrowed his eyes into a squint. “You can’t cook?”Kelsey gritted her teeth and declared, “I will do my best to learn how to!”Although she had never cooked before, she figured there was a first time for everything.She wanted to leave a good impression on Tyler and was willing to take the leap for him.Tyler grinned faintly upon hearing this.That was when Kelsey’s stomach began to growl as well.“Are you hungry?” Tyler fixed a look on her.Kelsey cringed inwardly and excused herself. “I’ll cook something right now.”With that, she quickly scuttled into the dresser and got changed. After that, she went downstairs to the kitchen.This was the first time she had ever been in the kitchen at all.She was the eldest lady of the Youngs household.Even though
With a predatory glint in his eyes, Tyler pressed his lips against Kelsey’s.“I’ll take your silence as your consent.” “Hang on!” Kelsey pushed him away. She meant business since it was about his sleepwalking last night. “I have a question.” “What is it?” Tyler asked in a raspy voice, his lips still lingering across her skin. His hands eagerly pulled her gown off her. “Do you sleepwalk?” Kelsey asked. Tyler paused, his eyes bearing a weight of emotions. Kelsey knew she was right on the money. Tyler had known about his sleepwalking. “Did you know you were sleepwalking last night?” Kelsey said while fixating earnestly on him. She was more concerned about his health. Tyler seemed healthy. Yet, he wandered off in a sleeping state. Judging by Tyler’s response, it was not his first rodeo. Generally speaking, sleepwalking was associated with trauma or unresolved issues. Kelsey suspected that Tyler had been through some kind of trauma, or something in his past wa
Tyler opened his eyes abruptly. Bare and dominant, he loomed above Kelsey while his penetrating gaze looked deep into her soul.Lost in the heat of his kiss, Kelsey opened her eyes in confusion at his sudden pause. She met his profound gaze. Kelsey’s heart skipped a beat. Her breath hitched. She stared at the man towering over her in disbelief, her eyes bulging. Tyler was awake. He examined her, his eyes scouring every inch of her body. Once he was certain that it was Kelsey, Tyler was relieved. “I’m home, babe,” he uttered with a sigh of relief. Feeling assured, he closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. He filled his lungs with her familiar scent. Kelsey was taken aback, but her head gradually cleared. She thought that Tyler would not stop their little bed activity. However, Tyler stayed in the same position for a while. His steady breathing came soon after. He fell asleep. Kelsey was in disbelief. Since he wanted her so badly, Kelsey ass
Worried, Kelsey followed Tyler in case he hurt himself or fell off the stairs. He was not in a conscious state after all. Kelsey would not be so abrupt as to wake him from his sleepwalking. She was aware that waking a sleepwalker could lead to shock or other health problems.Kelsey stuck close behind Tyler and made sure he got up the stairs safely. Tyler returned to their bedroom and lay on the bed. Kelsey drew close for a look. The soft moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting a hazy glow over his defined face.Tyler lay there motionlessly, his eyes closed.Kelsey watched him sleep tenderly. For a moment, she drooled over him. However, she quickly frowned at the smell of alcohol on Tyler. Kelsey went to open the window to let in some airflow, dispersing the fumes of liquor. She then picked out a fresh pair of pajamas from the closet for Tyler.Tyler would need a change of briefs too. However, Kelsey’s cheeks burned when she pulled his brief draw
Kelsey returned to the villa she shared with Tyler. She intended to tell Tyler how her day with her best friend had gone. Charles was somehow caught in the crossfire. Yvonne’s mother-in-law accused her of having an affair with Charles which did a number to his reputation. Kelsey wanted to ask Tyler about his opinion on returning Charles’ favor. Since Charles was Tyler’s childhood friend, Tyler must know him best. However, Tyler had business plans to attend to, so he would not be home for dinner.Kelsey was alone in the upstairs bedroom, occupied with all related matters involving her new business venture. Since Kelsey and Rosette were going to audition to design costumes for Adrienne’s new film, Kelsey felt it was essential to study the genre of the new film and Adrienne’s past fashion choices. Time passed. By the time Kelsey shut her laptop, it was eleven at night. Rising to her feet, she stretched and walked out of the bedroom. Kelsey was on her way downstairs
“I’m sorry, Kelsey. I’m sorry to ruin lunch,” Yvonne murmured. Kelsey put her arm around her shoulder. “Why are you apologizing to me? Charles told me what he needed me for. It’s okay to skip lunch.” She paused and looked at Yvonne, her head tilted. “But Yvonne, you seem to have changed.” “How so?” Yvonne asked with a raised brow. “You’ve become composed and cunning now.” Kelsey said with admiration, “But it’s a good thing. I don’t want you to be Adam and his family’s doormat. You didn’t marry him to be his slave.” Yvonne curled her lips. “I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve learned a lot too. I had to learn from my mistakes.” She used to walk on eggshells around her husband and mother-in-law. She gave them too much leeway, and they walked all over her. In the future, Yvonne would not be so dumb as to let others hurt her again. She needed to stand up for herself. … Kelsey dropped Yvonne back home. Before, Yvonne would cry to Kelsey for hours after Agatha humiliated
“Didn’t you hear what Yvonne said? She’ll go ahead with the divorce. She doesn’t want to stick around until you take everything from her.” Kelsey snapped an angry look at Agatha. “Your son is the one with an affair. Don’t put this on Yvonne. Save your breath for your son. Yvonne is the victim. Who are you to accuse her?” Kelsey could not stand Agatha. Agatha placed herself above others and used Yvonne as a punching bag. Charles tipped the restaurant manager the wink. The restaurant manager led a security team to Agatha. “This is a public place, not your playground. Please leave now.” Agatha was humiliated to be thrown out of the premises. Instead of breaking down and apologizing, Yvonne calmly agreed to the divorce. Agatha did not see it coming. She needed to talk to her son. Clearly, Agatha had to find new ways to keep Yvonne in line. “Hmph! In that case, I should ask your parents if they know about their daughter filing for divorce,” Agatha said. In Agatha’s opi
Agatha’s son, Adam, was the one who had an affair. Yet, Agatha made Adam out to be the victim instead. Yvonne became the wicked woman who cheated on Adam. Kelsey racked her brain to think of ways to prove Yvonne’s innocence. Yvonne broke her silence.“Tell me. What are you trying to achieve?” Agatha’s big fuss was met with Yvonne’s nonchalant reply. For a moment, Agatha was in a daze. In the past, Agatha often berated Yvonne until the latter had no choice but to apologize. Agatha had always kept Yvonne in line through aggressive methods. Yet now, Yvonne asked her what she wanted to do. Instead of having a meltdown, Yvonne carried herself with ease. Agatha narrowed her eyes and said bitterly, “We pride ourselves on our decency. We can’t put up with your cheating. Just finalize the divorce and get out of my family. I don’t want to carry your shame.” She glared at Yvonne in disdain. “Fine.” Yvonne readily agreed. Yvonne understood that Agatha was a pro at throwi
Many patrons turned their heads to Yvonne and Charles’ table. The incident sparked a lot of chatter. Kelsey rushed over and explained to Agatha. “You’re mistaken. Yvonne and I are grabbing lunch after a day of shopping. Charles and Yvonne don’t know each other.” Agatha did not expect to see Kelsey there. However, she could not take back what she had said. Besides, Yvonne and Adam were getting a divorce. If Agatha could nail infidelity on Yvonne, Adam would get off the divorce with more. “Oh, your best friend can’t save you out of this, Yvonne. Don’t try to hide the fact that you’re with another man now.” Agatha was determined to accuse Yvonne. Charles was not having it. “Ma’am…” he said disgruntledly in an attempt to clear the air. “Shut up!” Agatha snapped and criticized him too. “Why are you flirting with a married woman? I get a bad vibe from you.” Charles was speechless. He was a gentleman. There was no way he would be caught dead hitting on a married woman.
Sensing Yvonne’s blues, Kelsey wanted her to eat well and divert her attention elsewhere. Yvonne ordered a variety. In truth, she had no appetite. Kelsey added a few more dishes.Not satisfied with the order, Charles told the server to bring up all the chef’s recommendations. “Won’t we have too much food, Charles?” Kelsey said. Charles smiled without a care. “It’s okay. You can’t have too much food.” While the food was being prepared, Kelsey asked, “What’s the favor you need?” “Oh, yeah. Tyler said that you have established an office with Rosette,” Charles uttered. “Yes.” Kelsey nodded. “Is there anything I can do to help?” Charles asked earnestly. Kelsey understood that Charles had feelings for Rosette. “Nothing as of yet,” she responded with a raised brow. Charles was a little late as Cleo had helped them a lot in setting up the business. “Let me know if you ever need any help,” Charles said. Kelsey smiled with intrigue. “Are you pursuing Rosette, Charles?
