Being hugged by a man who was not her husband, and being hugged so tightly at that, made Nelly feel incredibly abashed. She clung onto her last sense of rationale and pushed Javier away from her.“I c-can’t—this can’t happen. We can’t act like this.” Nelly fumbled to speak and even staggered a little as she stepped away, feeling as frantic as her inner turmoil.Javier did not give her another chance to fight back, as he pushed forward and trapped her in the corner.“Nelly, this is the only way to resolve the plight between you and Dahlia. Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep working here. Your coworkers, your career…Everything will end here…”Javier coaxed her like a devil, while Nelly was helplessly shy.Dahlia had only told Javier that her secretary, Nelly, was a career-minded girl and her goal was to become the next Dahlia Robins, as she wanted to establish herself and progress in Maple Court.This was the exact reason Javier used her career against Nelly.As expected, Nelly
“I-I don’t know. It’s probably my best friend’s. I'm staying with my best friend.”Nelly made up a lie about a best friend while she was dying of embarrassment. In fact, she was the only one staying there. There was no best friend.Javier obviously knew as much, so he pointed at the shoe cabinet at the door after tossing the toy aside.“The shoes are all yours, and there’s only one glass at home. It’s enough to prove that you’re staying alone. How is there a best friend? This is obviously you trying to alleviate your loneliness.”Javier was merciless, exposing Nelly’s thoughts directly and embarrassing her to no end. He was still rambling when Nelly snapped.“What do you want? Mr. Kersey, what do you actually want? I’m a woman living alone, and you’re at my place telling me all these things. What the heck do you want?!”Javier chuckled upon seeing that he had successfully forced Nelly into a corner. “Don’t you know what I want?”As he said this, he stepped closer to her.When N
In the following days, other than completing his work-related tasks, Javier spent the rest of his time with Nelly and Dahlia either in his office or in Dahlia’s office.Once, they were even in the ladies’ washroom. Dahlia had realized that they could not keep doing this and tried to break it off, but Javier followed her into the washroom when no one was watching. What happened in the washroom thrilled Dahlia endlessly. It felt almost as if she was a thief, and she would surely never forget it, even reminiscing about it from time to time.However, no matter how attractive this temporary lifestyle was, it was still temporary. When Javier finished his job there, the transfer notice from headquarters came.Like Robin had mentioned, Javier was transferred to Maple Court’s headquarters as Robin’s secretary. Just like Javier had said, Dahlia was promoted to general manager of East Chinea Construction after he left.When he drove off, Dahlia and Nelly both bade him farewell.As they watch
Kaiden was a very courageous man, at least on the surface.“I will never resort to being threatened even if I have to put my finger at risk! Go ahead and break it if you can!”Kaiden could tell that Javier was surely not going to be brave enough to do it. After all, Javier would have to be extremely arrogant to do such a thing to the vice director of Maple Court, which would be a very disrespectful act. Even the chairman had to show him a modicum of respect, in fact! This was why Kaiden was sure that Javier would not be brave enough to do it. Instead, the latter would try finding a way out of the situation. When this happened, Kaiden would counter-attack and ask why Javier was not brave enough to break his finger. Then, he would arrogantly ask where Javier’s bravado had gone when he ended up behaving like a coward. However, just as Kaiden was having all those thoughts, he suddenly heard a loud, crisp “crack”! What was very profound about this sound was that Kaiden could no lo
Right after leaving, Javier ran into a woman with rose-red long hair and a low-cut camisole. She seemed even more youthful and sexy, as her slender legs were hidden in thin white stockings.Most importantly, this was a woman Javier knew!“Zoey?!”‘Isn’t she Zoey Faye? The online celebrity that I ran into at a concert half a month ago? She’s the one who said she wanted to return 75,000 dollars to me!’Javier was very surprised, as he had never thought she would show up there.Faye was equally surprised to see Javier. “Javier? What are you doing at my house?”“Your house?!”“Do you two know each other?”Robin joined the conversation and seemed especially surprised to see Javier and Zoey’s dumbfounded expressions.Then, he explained that Zoey was actually his daughter.Meanwhile, Zoey also briefly explained that she and Javier had met one another at a concert.However, Zoey did not mention anything about her live stream, probably because Robin did not support her in this aspect
Zoey instantly panicked when she saw Javier hitting Jim.“What are you doing?! Jimmy’s my friend! I won’t let you be so disrespectful to him!”Zoey seemed to be panicking for real. She definitely wanted to get her tour guide permit as quickly as possible and was afraid that Jim would not give it to her if she offended him. Hence, Javier was prepared to grab Jim and prove to Zoey that he was nothing more than a scammer.However, his movements caused Zoey to misunderstand him once more, and she thought that Javier was going to beat Jim up again.Hence, she pushed him away and said, “Leave! I’ll pay you back the money I owe you. Now, stop hitting my friend!”Javier was left feeling very depressed. ‘How the heck can she not tell who’s the good guy here?!’Javier could no longer be bothered to deal with the situation when he saw how genuinely concerned Zoey was for Jim.There was no need for him to put in the effort to prove anything since time would eventually reveal the truth. Th
Even though Zoey was a very sexy and beautiful woman, Javier could not bring himself to do it with a drugged person.Although he was definitely no gentleman himself, he still had the decency to not take advantage of someone else.So, in order to ensure that he would not be tempted, he whacked Zoey once again and made her lay down on the bed unconscious.Javier headed to the bathroom and took a cold shower before he was able to wash away his fatigue and urges. After a while, he headed to the living room, opened a can of cold beer, and took a few sips.‘Finally, I managed to cool down entirely and not feel the urge to do it with Zoey.’That night, Javier slept on the couch instead of returning to his bedroom. It was not until the next morning that he woke up after being interrupted by some rustling noise.Opening his eyes, Javier saw Zoey tip-toeing toward the exit with a red face.He then said, “Why are you running away? Are you afraid that I might have my way with you?”The
In truth, Javier had already made arrangements to retaliate against Kaiden’s petty little tricks long ago.Javier was a man who would never get involved in a fight he was not sure of winning. Therefore, since he had the guts to go up against Kaiden so openly, it must be because he was confident that he would emerge victorious.Hence, after he was taken into the police cruiser that morning, the leading inspector received a phone call from the higher-ups.The conversation was very short and simple…They were to release Javier regardless of what he had done. The leading inspector thought that the entire situation was extremely ridiculous. “Are we still living in a lawful country?! Why is he being released just because we’ve been asked to release him?!”“Are you an idiot? Our superiors are the ones who personally called to get this done, so of course our country’s laws are still in place!”After the lecture, the person on the other end of the line said, “Also, have Kaiden arrested im
