Javier was determined to sleep with Audrey, but clearly, things would often not go as planned.When he was about to touch Audrey's body, a sharp paper cutter was suddenly pressed against his neck.Javier raised his eyes to look at Audrey, but at that moment, her eyes were filled with fear as she held the sharp blade in her hand."Don't force me. If you keep pushing me, I might cut your neck, and you’re going to die. The paper cutter of my blade is new!"Javier chuckled. "The paper cutter is in your hand, so I should be afraid instead. Why are you so nervous that you even inverted your words?"Audrey was certainly nervous. From the looks of it, it was evident she still had not realized what she said earlier was inverted.But it did not matter anymore. What mattered was that her hands began to tremble, so she deliberately kept a little distance from his neck, afraid that she might cut him.Javier asked her, "How will you threaten me when you have the paper cutter so far away from
Suzanne certainly would not let Javier succeed. At least, not at her workplace.After all, her employees would come in to report their work. It would be outrageous if they get caught!Fortunately, Javier seemed understanding. But he still got to feel her feet a little...The next morning, Javier went to the hospital and talked to Doug about some matters.Be it the hospital, the pharmaceutical factory, or other ongoing development, Doug managed them very well.Javier had high regard for him because of that.Doug was talented indeed. His way of working was very similar to that of Chad. It was no wonder he was Chad's secretary.Doug lacked attention to detail, but fortunately, it was not a huge problem.After chatting with Doug for some time, the latter went to the bathroom because of an upset stomach. Javier waited in the office.After a while, the door suddenly opened, even though no one knocked. Javier thought Doug had returned, but surprisingly, it was Mikaela.Mikaela clear
Suzanne did not seem out of the ordinary, and neither did Javier. They appeared as if neither of them knew about it, and everything was exactly the same as it was.After arriving at Hotel Garcia, Javier collected everyone’s IDs and took them to Audrey.Audrey was stunned when she saw the entire team in the buses, even though she had prepared herself mentally.It was her first time taking in a tour group, and there were over a hundred people. She still hadn’t gotten used to it.Fortunately, she had made arrangements beforehand to prevent things from getting chaotic. She had already greeted them, and the services were overall great.After Suzanne greeted Javier, she followed the waiter into the lobby.When Suzanne left, Audrey glared at Javier.Javier was flabbergasted. "Why are you glaring at me? I didn't bully you today."Audrey replied angrily, "You have such a beautiful girlfriend, and you’re still out here sowing your wild oats! Gosh!"Javier suddenly understood and immedia
Jordan showed himself. He no longer seemed afraid because more than 20 people were behind him.The 20-odd people all looked weird. At first glance, they looked like thugs. They were smoking cigarettes and had bats in their hands.Jordan walked in front of them, filled with pride. He looked like their boss.However, after he made his appearance and before he had time to say anything, he was yanked away by the man behind him, who had gold earrings hanging from his ears.He was clearly walking on the wrong route as he was blocking the boss’ way.At that moment, Audrey witnessed everything from a distance. She quickly stepped forward to try to stop them.However, when she walked past Javier, he reached out his hand and stopped her.Audrey was a little anxious. She knew that Javier was the chairman of Reivaj Group, but she believed that Javier did not know that the guy with the gold earring was someone he should not mess with."The leader is called Butch. He’s a big mafia boss in th
Javier did not care if Butch and the rest took action. It was not because he prepared himself long before this. He could easily handle them even without any preparation.However, before he could fight back, Audrey rushed forward and went in front of him, stopping Butch and his men.When Butch saw Audrey charging to the front, he asked with a smile, "Why did you come forward? Do you think I don’t have the guts to hit you?"To be honest, Audrey did not even know why she had charged forward.She was even a little surprised deep down. What good would it do when she stepped forward at a time like this?Butch obviously would not let it slide this time and would surely beat her up. She was indeed afraid of getting beaten up, but she had rushed forward anyway.Audrey was terrified as she faced Butch's savage gaze. She did not know how to answer.Yet, she still refused to step back. She blocked Javier from Butcher and his men, stopping them in the way.But at that moment, Javier pulled
“Right, why did you run forward dumbly just now? And even put yourself in front of me. Are you not scared of getting beaten up?”When Javier questioned Audrey, she answered in a huff, “You’re the dumb one. I did that to protect your guests. You’re staying in my hotel. Naturally, I have the responsibility and the duty to ensure your safety.”Realization struck Javier. “I thought you wanted to protect me and got worried that I’d be hurt because you like what it feels like when you’re with me!”Audrey blushed from the words. “What nonsense are you spouting? I’ll call the police on you if you say something like that again!”“You sure you’ll be able to do it?” Javier asked with a grin.Audrey ignored him and left with a turn of the head. She realized it now. She probably was not this rogue’s opponent when arguing with him, even if she were to combine two of herself.Butch and the lackeys he had brought along had been caught. There was someone else who had been caught as well. He was u
Jordan was released. No matter how insolent he had been outside, he didn’t dare to act the same way in the police station. He left the station after he dutifully and honestly admitted his mistake and wrote a repenting letter.Audrey asked in concern when they got out, “How do you feel? Jordan, are you hungry? Should we take you to supper first?”Audrey was truly a little overboard with her concern. It was not like she would treat her biological son like this—and it was exactly because Jordan was not her biological son that she was so nice and patient with him.She did not receive Jordan’s acknowledgment in return. “You freaking busybody! What does me being captured have to do with you? You could’ve let the police keep me inside if you're so good. I haven’t done anything. They’d have let me out without you poking your nose into this!”Javier thought there was no other way but to give Jordan a slap regarding his parasitic and ungrateful attitude. He did just that right after thinking
Javier was not just saying that. He followed it up with his action. It was just that Audrey glared at him when his hand came into contact with her tights-clad legs.“Can you have some self-respect and stop bullying me? Don’t you feel like you’re a beast sometimes? Not caring about anything and just wanting to take and own?”Javier laughed. “You’re indirect as well. You might as well call me an animal!”Audrey rolled her eyes. “I didn’t say that, although what you think is a tiny bit right.”Javier wanted to quip, but Suzanne came down to the bar. After greeting Audrey, she asked, “It’s all taken care of?”“Mn, it’s done. Nothing much left.” Javier nodded.Suzanne made an “oh” sound and turned to Audrey. “Lady boss, can I have a glass of wine on the house?”Audrey chortled. “Good one, Ms. Quinn,” she said while she poured Suzanne a glass of wine and then left the bar with an excuse.After Audrey left, Suzanne pinned Javier with a jealous gaze, so the latter asked purposely, “Wha
