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
“Sir... sir...” Faye called out softly. She noticed her voice had a slight tremble to it.She watched as the chairman slowly turned to face her, before letting out a gasp.The chairman’s face was obstructed by a clown mask, so she could not make out his features. Faye was confused. What in the world was going on?Yes, Zayn had legitimately put on a clown mask so that Faye would not be able to recognize him. She could only see his eyes. He would not have been bold enough to let her in without the mask.Faye was frozen still from shock, so Zayn had an easier time picking apart her outfit. She wore a tight, figure-hugging dress that accentuated her shapely curves. The dress was so short that her long and fair legs were completely on display. She looked flawless.She had even gone the extra mile of putting on makeup to impress Mr. Wilson. It made her even more charming and sexy. Zayn had been put into a trance by Faye’s beauty, and he found it hard to take his eyes off of her.It s
Zayn hitched a breath as Faye closed in on him.Faye’s cheeks were burning from embarrassment.“Sir.” You could hear the tremble in her voice when she addressed him.At first, she was initially prepared to endure the worst, but that urge to rebel had suddenly vanished.She never had high expectations from the start, so perhaps that was why they were easily surpassed.He reached out to wrap his hands around Faye’s waist. He gently pulled her towards him so that there was barely any space between the two.He thought about sleeping with Faye even in his dreams—he wanted her so badly. Though, this was definitely not the way he wanted to go about it. As soon as he pinned her against that bed, she would basically be cheating on him, and that was not what he intended.As a result, he let go of Faye and spat coldly, “You should leave. I’m not interested in another man’s wife.”Faye was confused. What was going on? Did the chairman not just try and take her as his own? She had been de
“I’m not going to. You're not allowed to back out of your end of the deal!” Faye snarled ferociously.Zayn said, “Are you crazy? Who said I was backing out of my end of the deal? I already have a cheque for three million dollars written up for you.”Faye was shaken up. She followed Zayn’s gaze, noticing the cheque that had been lying on the table the entire time.Zayn seized the opportunity to push her aside so he could get up and off the bed. He readjusted his clown mask, his back facing away from Faye. The mask had been knocked off slightly askew after the struggle. Fortunately, his cover had not been blown.“This is a cheque for three million dollars. You can cash it out at any bank. As for the IOU, you don’t need to give it to me. Even if the Carters had the slightest ounce of courage in them, you wouldn’t have the audacity to refuse paying off your debt. I already know a hundred ways I can eliminate your family off the top of my head!” Zayn threatened coldly. His presence was
The image had just cropped up in her thoughts before quickly evaporating away into nothingness!She suspected she had gone insane—how else could she have thought of something so absurd? The chairman of Violet Vision was on top of the world. On the other hand, she was just a common woman from a small family. How in the world could she be a worthy wife to such a sophisticated man?! She was only deserving of a freeloading deadbeat like Zayn.At the very thought of Zayn, Faye felt a fresh swell of rage rising inside of her. Zayn had been missing for the entire day! He obviously knew that today was the day she would be leaving, yet he had not made any effort to show up at all. She did not even receive a text message showing his support, or do the bare minimum of signing the divorce papers.Coincidentally, as soon as she had exited Violet Vision Tower, she spotted the last man she wanted to see. Of course, it had to be Zayn. Her wrath nearly consumed her as she tried to process the sight
