Angeline used to loathe physical contact with men, except when it came to Ned. Yet, she still found it hard to go further than kissing. Things were different with Sean, though. Sharing a passionate kiss and even having sex with a man used to be beyond Angeline's imagination. Traumatized from her past, physical intimacy was agonizing to her. It was easy for Sean to arouse her desire. He enlightened her that sex could be addicting when it was done with the right person. She remembered him saying that he was jealous of her past relationship. Indeed, she had poured all her effort into her relationship with Ned. She'd tried her best, but by a twist of fate, they were separated by a car accident. Perhaps it was fate's way of correcting her. Angeline rinsed her mouth and wiped the foam off her lips. She loved how Sean, who was usually aloof and indifferent, was enthralled by her. She savored the sight of his veins popping as he tried to hold back his emotions.Propping her hands agains
"Mr. Lawson, Ms. Angeline, morning." Lenny was already waiting outside. He took the documents from Angeline swiftly and pressed the elevator button. Angeline and Sean rode the same car to the company. The senior executives, who were waiting for the elevator, greeted them once they emerged from the basement. They both nodded in response.Taylor and Jamie were expecting them outside the elevator. Once they stepped out of the elevator, Taylor and Jamie hurried toward their respective employers and began to brief them about their work schedules. Sean's office was a stone's throw from Angeline's. Before entering her office, she could still hear him instructing Taylor to fetch the finance director. Once she removed her jacket, Jamie took it and hung it aside. "The project proposal Helen sent on Lawson Global's behalf was like what Mr. Reilly said. It's more profitable than the one you sent him. "Mr. Wagler had just sent the latest project proposal this morning. It's a compromise
Angeline passed the materials regarding land No. 3 mentioned by Monica. "Have a look.""Alright." Gary flipped through the pages suspiciously and glanced up. Seeing she was still busy reading through the materials, he asked, "Ms. Lawson, are you going to purchase this land?""It's public knowledge that Scott Incorporated will launch the largest CBD project in Krontos. If I purchase this land, can you draft an agreement based on the most reasonable pricing?""Sure! Although the CBD project is well-known, the detailed plan remains a mystery. The land might appreciate in value, but if it's not one of the core locations, I'm afraid…" Gary faltered. He went silent for a few seconds before adding, "Also, this land was on bid six years ago. Now that news of Scott Incorporated's project has begun circulating, I'm not sure if the landowner will be willing to sell."Monica had shown Angeline the detailed plan before, but she couldn't just bring this matter to light. She could've just
Angeline knew Gary must've informed Sean about her plan when Taylor called for her. She strode into Sean's office. He gestured primly at her to take a seat, and she nodded in response. Seated from across him, she noticed that he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His gaze was fixated on the monitor as he flipped through the documents. "How are you so sure they'll sell you the land? Since the word got out, we've missed the best time to send our proposal. The land's price will surely skyrocket. Judging by the fact that Scott Incorporated is willing to circulate the news, they are confident in securing the deal even though it has yet to be closed.""Scott Incorporated is in charge of the largest CBD project in Krontos, and Ms. Lara's assistant leaked the news." Angeline had performed a thorough investigation. "But you're right. Scott Incorporated and the company that owns the land have begun the purchase deal proceedings. However, the real owner of that company is Ms. Mon
Sean's desire for Angeline was terrifyingly stronger than he had imagined. He yearned to kiss and touch her skin at every moment of every hour. He craved her warmth and breath incessantly. Angeline held the edge of the large desk with one hand and wrapped her other hand around Sean's neck. Although her body had begun reacting honestly to his kiss, her eyes still shook as she glanced anxiously toward the door. Angeline was afraid that someone would abruptly enter.With a hand on her face, Sean forcefully turned Angeline toward him. Forcing her to look at him, he bit down hard on her lips. "Stay focused," he said in a low tone."I'm afraid that someone will enter…" Angeline faltered uneasily.The scorching heat emitting through the fabric from Sean's sturdy legs caused Angeline to become restless. "No one can enter my office casually." Sean took off his glasses. Holding Angeline by the back of her head, he deepened their kiss. His hands tightened around her waist. Pull
"When are you meeting up with Monica?" Sean asked."At 12:30 pm. Jamie has already booked a private room at Camelia Cuisine," Angeline replied honestly. "Alright." Sean pressed a kiss at the corner of her lips. "I've made an appointment with some of my clients to play golf in the afternoon. I'll be heading back from the golf course."Just then, his phone vibrated. Picking it up from the desk, Sean looked at it impatiently. Angeline got up from his embrace. Still gasping for breath, she began to tidy her clothes and hair hastily.Angeline spoke out when Sean declined the call. "I'll head back to the office first. I'll update you about the meeting with Monica when I return." "Okay." He nodded.Sean pulled out a cigarette after watching Angeline leave. Holding it by the corner of his lips, he lit the cigarette to placate the desire that had almost consumed him. …That day, Monica didn't hesitate to agree when she received a call from Angeline to have lunch together.
Monica glanced at Angeline. The corner of her bright red lips curled up as she emitted an imposing presence. "It looks like you've done a thorough research on me."Angeline didn't deny it. Tapping her fingers lightly against the table, she said, "You decided to leave land No. 3 until the very last because you knew how important it was in the project despite its small size. "We'd both get what we want as long as you're willing to sell the land to Lawson Global."The land was significant enough that Scott Incorporated would definitely agree to share a slice of the pie with Lawson Global. They would also even agree to reinstate Monica's position in the project.After all, the capital injection was all to gain a share of the profit. Monica couldn't help but acknowledge that Angeline's way with words left her at ease. At the sight of a hint of a smile on Monica's face, Angeline held up the cup of coffee, a watch adorned on her hand. "Let's substitute wine with coffee. Cheers
"Ms. Lara, please calm down. I think that Mr. Lawson doesn't feel anything for you. Everyone knows how his personality is—he's not approachable at all. He wouldn't have put you on the spot simply because of Ms. Monica. It's more likely that he wants Lawson Global to have a slice of the cake!" Lara's assistant whispered to her.All three of the Scott daughters worked in the company and were equally important in rank. To avoid any confusion, everyone referred to them by name instead of addressing them all as "Ms. Scott"."Regardless, get in touch with Sean and figure out what Lawson Global is planning," Lara said irritatedly.Lara's assistant soon returned from her task. "I called Mr. Lawson's assistant, Mr. Powell. He says that Mr. Lawson doesn't know anything about this. So, he asked around. He called me back earlier and told me that Lawson Global's newest vice president, Ms. Lawson, signed the papers for land No. 3.""Ms. Lawson?" Lara frowned. "You mean… that adoptee, Angel
