“So, that’s the case, huh?” Yvonne stated in a rather peculiar tone of voice. “Speaking of which—Yvonne, why are you asking me about Zayn out of nowhere?” Faye questioned incredulously. “Is he with you?”“No, no!” Yvonne denied quickly, “I just happened to run into someone who reminded me of Zayn, which is why I’m asking you out of curiosity. Since I’ve clearly mistaken him for someone else, it’s not a problem then. Let’s meet up some other day, alright?”After hanging up, Yvonne’s captivating eyes wandered as her mind began to run wild. Judging from how Faye sounded, she strongly resented Zayn. It was apparent that the relationship between them was unhealthy. Moreover, it was vital that Zayn kept his identity a secret from Faye so that Yvonne could take advantage of him!Under that sweet disposition, Yvonne was nothing but a fox. She had every man wrapped around her finger, trapped in the palm of her hand. Gabriel had not even laid a finger on her, yet he was already under her sp
“Huh?” Sean was so startled that his mind had drawn a complete blank. He struggled to figure out what tricks the chairman had up his sleeves. He treaded carefully with his words, “Yes, that’s true. In truth, I was only joking with the Carters. I never intended for them to legitimately bring me such a beautiful woman…”Sean carefully noted the changes in Zayn’s expressions at all times. He was anxious beyond belief—the young chairman’s actions were incredibly unpredictable. His agreement between the Carters, which put three million dollars in their possession, was sworn to secrecy. No information was released to any uninvolved parties, yet the new chairman had somehow caught wind of it. From that alone, he could tell that he had extraordinary capabilities.Bang!Zayn slammed the table in outrage. It startled Sean so much that he began to tremble, before stumbling and falling over. “Sean Wilson! How bold of you!”“S-sir, s-sir, sir…” The color had drained out of Sean’s face, leaving
It was all because of Faye Carter, the beauty the Carters had sent over. He remembered—Sean remembered now. Faye was the person who was set as the chairman’s wallpaper.He knew Faye’s name, had a photo of her set as his wallpaper, and even warned Sean to keep his distance. It was obvious that the new chairman had his eyes on Faye!By connecting the dots, Sean had it all figured out…It was obvious that the new chairman had his eyes on Faye, but she was already married. It would be demeaning for him to use his position as chairman to win over Faye. That was why the new chairman was aware of Sean blackmailing Faye for three million dollars to sleep with him. Besides, he looked absolutely fuming!The more Sean thought about it, the clearer the picture in his head. He was thrilled about it, even.With how the new chairman had reprimanded him, it was evident that he was hinting Sean to behave accordingly. Otherwise, he would have made him reject the deal entirely. Instead, why had th
It had just dawned on them that Zayn was nowhere to be found.“Sh*t, where could he be? He must be hiding.”“That has to be the case. Zayn is the epitome of a boy toy. Now that Faye is with Mr. Wilson, can we even count on him to step up and stop it from happening?”“I’m furious just thinking about the incident from earlier. He can’t do anything except ruin things. He exhausted all of his good fortune when he saved Jordan’s life, and he never even took full advantage of his favor! What’s worse is that he didn’t reclaim Jordan’s birthday gifts either! I’ve never met a man as foolish as he is!”“That’s true. If I was the hero who had saved Jordan’s life, I would’ve achieved great heights by now, and built a path of new glory for the Carters!”“Any Tom, Dick or Harry who had the honor of receiving Jordan’s favor would make the most of it, let alone you, Regardless, none of them would ever end up as battered as Zayn!”“Stop talking. I’m on the verge of dying from all this rage!”Due
The front desk receptionist sized Faye up twice, seriousness written all over face. She pursed her lips, before dialing Sean’s line. “Hello, Mr. Wilson, there’s a lady named Faye Carter who wants to see you.”Sean was smoking in his office. His entire body quivered in excitement upon hearing the receptionist’s words. He hurriedly demanded, “Send her in, quickly!”He considered for a moment before adding, “Forget it. I’ll come downstairs and escort her up personally!”After hanging up the call, Sean hastily put out the cigarette and ran to the washroom to rinse his mouth. He chewed on a piece of gum to cover the acrid smell of tobacco and tidied himself up before going downstairs to meet with Faye. He knew without a shadow of a doubt that the beauty who had stolen the heart of the new chairman was in fact Faye. He had to treat her right. The new chairman had been in the office for a few hours and had yet to come out, so Sean was certain that the man was waiting for him to send Faye
Leering at Faye’s exquisite face and her fantastic body, Sean had taken a liking to her almost instantly. However, he was also aware that he would be signing his own death warrant if he ever revealed his true feelings. As a result, he hastily shifted his eyes away from her and admitted truthfully, “Ms. Carter, I won’t go back on what I promised you, naturally. Of course, that is on the condition that you fulfill your end of the deal.”Faye bit her lower lip. “I will abide by your arrangements and do exactly as you tell me!”As soon as the words left her lips, Faye’s heart was heavy with sorrow and agony. She was such a proud woman, yet she had to stoop as low as selling her body now.Sean furrowed his brows upon seeing the state Faye was in. He was slightly displeased so he said, “Ms. Carter, you have to work this out. It was your family who wanted to loan the money from me, and it’s not like I’m forcing you to do this. This is a matter of mutual consent, so don’t make it seem as th
“Tell it to me straight, who exactly have you brought here?” Zayn furrowed his brows. However, Sean interpreted his graveness as feigned obliviousness. How could a man of such incredible intelligence not know that Faye was standing right outside that door? Moreover, it was the chairman himself who strongly implied Sean to bring her here! He was certain that the chairman was just simply too bashful, and wanted to maintain his cold, arrogant exterior in front of one of his subordinates. There was no doubt about it! The chairman was still a young man after all. Despite his extraordinary capabilities, he would not be as bold as any of the industry veterans like himself.Sean sniggered, a knowing expression on his face. He said, “Sir, I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be on my way. Oh yes, the technicians have reported some malfunctions in the surveillance cameras on this floor. The latest they can be fixed would be tomorrow, so the cameras won’t be able to operate until th
Upon uttering those words, Faye’s breathing quickened. Her legs felt as if they weighed a thousand tonnes. It felt almost impossible to move.The room had gone dead silent. The great chairman of Violet Vision was nowhere to be seen.She waited for something to happen, but there was still no response. Faye could not help but feel anxious as she wondered if Violet Vision’s chairman was in there at all. Was there a possibility that the chairman was unhappy with her?“Sir? Can you hear me? May I come in?” asked Faye tentatively.Zayn panicked when he heard her voice. It was evident that Faye was going to enter at any moment now, so he hastily came up with an excuse. He pretended to groan, his voice hoarse and scruffy, “You may not come in.”“Huh?” Faye cried out softly. On the verge of crumpling from her overwhelming emotions, she gritted her teeth and said, “Sir, I don’t understand.”Zayn continued to speak raspily, “Go home.”Faye clenched her fists and took two steps towards the
