Zaire lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on Lotus’s neck. He wrapped his hand around Lotus’s thin waist authoritatively and gently nuzzled her smooth neck. “Don’t wear little and walk barefoot next time.” Zaire susurrated next to her ear. As soon as he completed his statement, he raised his head and gave Lotus a stern gaze.Lotus’ heart skipped a beat. Immediately, she understood that his grim expression was due to finding her walking barefoot and wearing little. She pursed her lips slightly. Isn’t it because she wanted to seduce him? Nevertheless, she nodded her head in response and looked down at her fingers, finding the atmosphere extremely stifling while staying in Zaire’s presence. Zaire extended his hand to reveal well-carved, thin, and long, exquisite fingers. He lifted Lotus’s chin with his index finger and made her stare into his obsidian black eyes. He gave her a meaningful glance. Although Zaire didn’t say a word, Lotus understood that his gaze implied that she shou
In a monotone, low-key luxury bedroom, the rays of sunlight spilled past the curtains and landed on Lotus’s dainty and exquisite face. Lotus’s face wrinkled, her brows furrowed, and her lips pursed in a thin line in displeasure due to the disturbance. Immediately, she stretched her hand and attempted to turn to the other side, but before she could, a painful hiss spilled past her lips. Lotus’s eyes flew open, and her lips parted in a yawn. Her eyes fell on the wall clock, only to discover that it was past 11:00 a.m. Lotus's eyes widened; she didn’t expect to have slept that deeply!Immediately, she attempted to sit up and stretch her body, but before she could, she sucked in a cold breath and groaned softly. “Ahhhh!”Lotus’s face reddened; she smacked her lips together, and she secretly cursed at Zaire while thinking that he was too much. Regardless of how much Lotus pleaded for Zaire to let her go the night before, Zaire kept telling her that there was only one round left, yet Za
Upon hearing Zaire’s agreement, the man froze in shock, as if he had never expected it.But in the next second, the man's eyes lit up, and he bowed to Zaire repeatedly, his face brightening. "Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Zaire." The man appreciated with joy, clear on his face.Not only did he not lose the contract with Zetus Company, but he also had a percentage increment. How can he not be happy?Zaire aloofly strode out of the private room at a fast pace.The stunned assistant, Onyx, immediately stood up and followed Zaire, still wondering what happened. “Zaire. Zaire.” Venus suddenly called behind Zaire in a sweet voice, her heels clinking softly against the floor. Venus was dressed in a yellow dress that fell above her knees, exposing her pale and beautiful thighs. Her long, wavy hair fell to her back, giving her a pure and innocent goddess-type look. Upon hearing Venus' call, Zaire's expression turned cold, and his brows furrowed in gloom.Immediately, Venus wrapped her hands ar
Upon hearing Freya’s question, Venus froze, and the expression on her face broke. A trace of anxiety flickered past Venus’ eyes, and she bit her lower lip with hesitation, her hand balling into a fist. It was as if Venus didn't expect Freya to be in the dark about Lotus’s news that pervades the internet. An apologetic expression overlapped Venus’ anxious expression, and she snuck a glance at Zaire as if to prove her innocence to Zaire and to explain herself. Unfortunately, Zaire’s gaze didn’t even land on Venus, not even once. Zaire’s face darkened immediately, and a cold sneer appeared on his face. The aura exuding from him turned colder, making it seem as if the temperature dropped and the surrounding temperature got colder. Although it might seem as if Venus made a mistake by letting Freya know about the rumor surfacing about Lotus online, in fact, that was all a facade.All Venus’ words were purposely said in order to lead to one thing: Freya knowing about the truth behind Lo
Venus snapped out of her thoughts and wrapped her hands around Darvish's waist demurely. She burrowed into his embrace sweetly and rubbed her head on his chest coquettishly. Venus raised her head and batted her eyelashes at Darvish while using her finger to trace his rock-hard abs with a perfect and innocent demure look hung on her face. If one didn’t know, one might think Venus is being casual with her actions. “I missed you, Darvish.” Venus parted her lips and confessed in a sweet voice. Coupled with the repeated stroking of Darvish’s rock-hard body by Venus’ finger, she felt Darvish’s body turn tense. Venus’ lips curved up immediately. Soon! Victory appears to be nearer.Suddenly, Darvish’s expression turned solemn, and his brows knitted as if he had just deciphered something important. But in the next second, Darvish’s solemn expression dissipates, giving one the thought that it’s just an illusion.Darvish’s lips curved up, and he separated from Venus. He extended his hand and
Giorgi’s insider even revealed that Freya and Fickel didn’t accept Lotus and wanted Zaire to divorce her immediately. The insider told Giorgi that the woman was very cruel, and the meeting with Freya and Fickel ended with Zaire storming off in fury and embarrassment due to his wife’s wicked offense.Giorgi leaned forward and plastered a carefree and leisurely smile on his face to hide his disdainful sneer. Venus is the number one beautiful socialite; how will a man, in his right sense, leave such beauty to marry a peasant of unknown background? The more Giorgi thought like this, the more disdainful he was. But in the next minute, his eyes flickered with excitement. The first-uncle family had always been a force to be reckoned with. If Zaire ends up marrying Venus, doesn’t that mean their family will never catch up with the first family uncle? Immediately, Giorgi’s eyes flickered. Well, since Zaire didn’t end up with Venus, that means their family still had more opportunities to be
“The vote has been cast by the shareholders. It’s time to announce the result.” Secretary Max stood up and declared it, his voice resonating in the conference room. Immediately, he adjusted the glass on the bridge of his nose and strode to the podium calmly.Two weeks ago, the board members voiced their concerns about the unfairness of Fickel Ludovic and his family being the ones to hoard all the top positions in the Ludovic companies after the chairman position. The members finalized their conversations by asking that the positions be rearranged based on the votes of the shareholders or that Fickel’s family be removed from their positions altogether.Chairman Ludovic and Fickel directly agreed to the voting of the board members, which was the reason votes were cast.Oliver Ludovic leaned back in his chair smugly with squinted eyes, drumming lightly with a meaningful smirk plastered on his face. But in the next few minutes, the smug expression was replaced with feigned innocence. Ol
The car sleekly drove into the compound before coming to a stop at the front of the mansion. Without waiting for the driver to park the car properly, Zaire opened the car and alighted from it. He staggered slightly and stared at the mansion with an unfocused gaze.Arthur's eyes widened, and his heart almost flew off his chest upon seeing Zaire’s dangerous act of getting out of the car without waiting for the car to be parked. Too much alcohol is really not a good thing; his composed boss turned out to be like this when drunk. Arthur quickly parked the car and hurried toward Zaire. He bowed slightly and extended his hand in front of Zaire. “Boss, should I help you?” Arthur offered, concern evident in his eyes.Upon hearing Arthur’s offer, Zaire snapped out of his absentmindedness, raised his hand, and massaged his brows. He staggered forward and casually waved his hand in the air, his actions rejecting Arthur’s offer and telling Arthur to leave. Without further ado, Zaire carefully st
