Madelyn felt her back go numb and could barely hold on. When they reached the 85th floor, the door suddenly opened. "Sir, Miss, you can take the elevator."Madelyn's face turned bright red, not expecting someone to appear. Zach, seeing her flushed face, said with a playful tone, "She prefers it this way."The person who had opened the door was oblivious to the situation beneath Madelyn's dress."So, still resisting?" Zach said, giving her a playful shake.Madelyn yelped in surprise and leaned into him, feeling uneasy. Zach's manhood was bulging, he was at his limits.Suddenly, Madelyn had an idea and decided to change her approach. She leaned fully against his shoulder, a move that seemed to please him. It was uncommon for her to initiate such closeness. She let go with her legs that were tightly wrapped around his waist. What began as an embrace transitioned to him hoisting her over his shoulder."You're smarter now." Zach patted her hip.Seizing her chance, Madelyn quickly got
The night in France looked a lot like Venturia. The city lights shone like diamonds.Zach gazed at the view from the eighty-eighth floor, his eyes all icy. He had a cigarette hanging from his lips, and he had to block the wind with his hand to light it.A puff of smoke drifted away from Zach, and Cecilia Samford moved closer, sounding kinda irritated as she asked, "Zach, I've given in to you twice already. What more do you want? You know you can't be with Madelyn."Cecilia, just like Madelyn, had been reborn. She had thought that by getting involved early, she could get a bigger share of Jardin Corporation after helping Zach start it up, so she could control him. But now, everything seemed to be going all wrong.Cecilia realized that Zach's connection with Madelyn was tangled and tricky. Even though Cecilia and Zach had been tight in a previous life, now she sensed she was just a piece in his quest for power.Zach glanced at Cecilia. He noticed that she bore a strong resemblance t
Zach continued, "Even if we set aside the college fee, for you, it's an astronomical figure. Even if you have a scholarship, just the cost of living would be overwhelming. And if you come to Ventropolis, what about your disabled mother? So, in your past life, a university in Silverbrook was your only option. Am I right?"Cecilia was suddenly taken aback.Zach smirked and went on, "And you coming to Ventropolis implies that your mother passed away in less than three years, and that's when you decided to come to Ventropolis.He continued, "Ventropolis always has an abundance of talent, and your qualifications aren't exceptional there. So, looking at the entire Ventropolis and the way Azure Corporation is growing, Azure does seem like a good choice for you."I guess the reason we had met that time is that you had joined Azure as an employee, am I right?" he addedZach's gaze made Cecilia all jittery because he was spot-on. No matter how hard she tried to act cool, he could see right
Zach reached for the switch and turned on the light. He glanced at the fallen cabinet and then looked at Madelyn, who was peacefully asleep on the bed, not aware he had come in.Madelyn wore a white nightgown, with a light blanket just covering her waist. Her eyes were shut, her long lashes resting on her cheeks. Her legs showed. It was an enticing sight.Quietly closing the door, Zach rubbed his tired eyes. He took off his jacket, placed it on the bed, and went to the bathroom.In her sleep, Madelyn kind of heard the sound of the shower. She moved a little but quickly settled and went back to dreamland.He sat down beside Madelyn, and although the mattress sank a bit under his weight, she continued to sleep soundly. He carefully drew her closer, and they were cocooned under the warm blanket.Zach gently lifted the hem of Madelyn's nightgown, his fingers softly caressing her smooth back, the contrast with his own rough hand stirring his desire even more. Once he was aroused there
Zach had already removed her panties and gently parted her legs. After putting some ointment on his fingers, he carefully applied it between her thighs.Madelyn had her face buried in the blanket, wincing from the pain.Zach turned her over, spreading her legs again. It felt awkward, but Madelyn couldn't resist; she was too weak. She let him do what he wanted to."Are you finished yet? I'm running out of time," Madelyn muttered, nervously biting her lip and avoiding eye contact.Zach, squatting at the edge of the bed, examined the view of her fully exposed sensitive spot, seemingly enjoying the moment. He asked, "Does it still hurt?""It doesn't hurt anymore... Are you... finished?" Madelyn replied, her voice trembling slightly."If you don't want it to hurt all day, wait for two minutes. Let the medicine do its job.""It wouldn't have happened if you didn't touch me!"Zach rose slowly, a hint of amusement in his eyes as he noticed her embarrassment. His desire began to simmer
Madelyn had finished her meal, but Zach was still taking his sweet time, like he didn't care how long it took. But Madelyn wasn't going to stick around and wait for him.She stood up, slung her bag over her shoulder, and left her seat without saying a word. But before she could even make it out of the restaurant, a bodyguard blocked her way. She couldn't leave without Zach with her.Madelyn glanced back at Zach, who was still sitting there, casually wiping his mouth. She was getting impatient. Since she couldn't leave, she decided to sit back down and opened her email to reply to a message from a gaming company that was working with the studio.She was so busy that she lost track of time.In the last few minutes, she quickly jotted down some notes as per the company's requirements and grabbed a simple sketchbook and a pencil. With the time she had, she made a rough sketch.Suddenly, Madelyn's phone in her pocket started ringing, and she answered, "Clement?"Clement's voice came f
Madelyn was late. When she arrived at the company, Jane, the head of this studio, was in a discussion.The sound of her hurried steps caused everyone to look her way. Catching her breath, Madelyn said, clutching her chest, "I'm sorry I'm late."Jane glanced at Madelyn and tapped the table for emphasis. "I was talking about the email from Encounter Gaming. If you're confused about anything, come ask me. We're on a tight schedule, and I expect everyone to give their best. It's important, especially for your final presentations."Meeting adjourned!"Once the meeting wrapped up, everyone dove back into their work.It was like Madelyn wasn't even there.Clement approached with paperwork in hand. "Madelyn," he began, but she interrupted him, "Clement, weren't we already swamped with one project? Why did we take another?"Clement replied, "It's done. We hustled the past few days, and as of yesterday, we've turned everything in."Madelyn paused for a moment. "B-But... Yesterday, I cont
Madelyn said, "I accept it. After all, it's indeed my fault that took up everyone's time."Jane responded, "It's good that you know. I hope you won't make everyone cover for you again for this project."Madelyn replied, "Okay."This was their first bonus. Everyone was thinking about how they should celebrate tonight.However, they received a sudden notice that Encounter Gaming was not satisfied with the scenery sketches and required adjustments.Unfortunately, the part they were unsatisfied with was the one Madelyn was responsible for, which happened to be the part Jane had completed for her.The detail of the scenery did not match Encounter Gaming's requirements. No one expected the artwork to be sent back for revision.Someone complained, "Now, instead of our celebration, we have to stay back for overtime.""Who can we blame? Someone delayed the progress.""Ah, so annoying! I thought we could finish work early today."Madelyn left a heavy mark on the white drawing paper wit
