Chapter 41

For that brief moment, Summer thought she was a playgirl. She was already getting all sweet with James when she had only decided to get over Hank just a second ago.Although they were a married couple, she felt the resistance in her that pulled her from accepting James that quickly. She needed some time to get to know him, at least.He fell silent as his eyes were dark and remained undecipherable. His long silence slowly drove her nervous. She wondered, "Does this mean he disagrees with it?"It wasn't weird for him to disagree with it. It was normal for a hormone rush to happen when a man and a woman shared the same space alone together.Now that they were married, she figured that it was a little too much for her to prohibit James from touching her.Thus, Summer was contemplating if she should be more lenient with her request. They couldn't have sex before she completely accepted James—that was her bottom line.Other than sex, holding hands and holding her by the waist

Half an hour later, an empty lunchbox lay atop the table in the office. It was the one Summer always brought for James.It was squeaky clean.After taking a cup of coffee, he had to continue working. Right when he was going to ask Charlie, who was outside, to send her home, the door was opened.A man barged in with heavy steps. "Jamie." It was a flirty tone.The young man in a floral shirt grew his hair that reached his shoulders. His actions were untrammeled.Once his eyes fixated on James, he bulldozed in that direction. "Jamie! You're here! Are you free tonight?""No, Bradly.""What could possibly make you busy? I bet it's unnecessary work again. Why don't you put it off for a moment and keep me company?"Bradly tried to drag James away without a care of James' will. However, his weak strength didn't allow him to have it his way.Releasing James, Bradly sighed. "Mr. Workaholic, all you know is to work round the clock. You'll die of over-exhaustion one day."Only then did

Summer merely returned Bradly a polite smile. Since they weren't close, it wouldn't do good if she gave off too many details. "Summer Charter. The successor of Charter Corporation. James and I got married two days ago.""I don't think I've heard of that corporation before. Is it a new uprising company?" Bradly simply thought that only someone from the four major prestigious families deserved to be James' wife. Even if it wasn't from the four major prestigious families, the woman's background should be somewhere on the same level as theirs.However, Charter Corporation was a small corporation. It wasn't as huge as Bradly expected it to be.While Summer was in a dilemma to explain the situation, James helped her out. "Summie, you should get back home now. I'll be home late.""Okay." She heaved a sigh of relief and left the office instantly.Bradley's words somehow put an invisible weight of burden onto her shoulders. It felt like an interrogation, and she found it very unc

Birds of a feather flocked together. People of similar kinds hung out together.Bradley had a messy personal life, yet she found that he was on good terms with James."Do you think that Bradly's a good guy or a bad guy?" It was a blunt question from Summer, but it put Charlie in a difficult position.People had all different kinds of sides, making it difficult for one to judge if they were actually good or bad.Summer appeared quite naive to Charlie. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked such a question.He answered honestly, "I think Mr. Walsh is a good guy. His private life is kinda messy, but he's a righteous person. When he found a kid lost his way, he sent the kid home.""Is that so …" She caressed her chin as her eyelids flickered. In fact, those questions were asked so that she could figure out if Bradly was a safe person to be with.Becoming an innocent lamb waiting to be swallowed up by a wolf was the last thing she wished for.After having a series of questions answere

Bradly appeared in suits, which failed to mask his untrammeled aura. His teasing gaze zeroed in on Summer.Noticing the disrespectful glint in those eyes, Charlie reminded softly, "Mr. Hayes, is there something Mrs. Quigley can help you with?"The Hayes brothers were standing right behind her. Bradly waved them off. "Why don't you give us some time alone? I have something to tell her.""We can't do that. We've received orders to protect her safety. We can't leave her side unless it is Mr. Quigley's orders." The Hayes brothers were particularly loyal because they owed James. Wanting them to leave Summer's side? Not a chance!The helpless Bradly gave her a look that read, 'I wanna talk to you alone. Could you ask them to leave for a moment?'She understood his notion as she looked across her shoulder. "Give us a moment. Wait for me outside. I have something to tell Mr. Hayes, too.""Mrs. Quigley, we …" Charlie showed hesitance.Bradly huffed, "Stop dilly-dallying, will you

"A heart of steel?" Summer was stunned, not understanding Bradly's words.When she thought about it, she figured that Bradly was referring to James.From day one, she noticed that James never smiled. It was always that same old deadpan expression on his face and that cold disposition. Not to mention that he was a man of few words.If she had never interacted with him, she would've thought that he was a robot.However, based on how Bradly described James, it was possible that there was more. It wasn't as simple as not smiling."Mr. Hayes, you sound very surprised that he's married.""I am! He has never shown interest in women since the day we met each other. I took him to clubs, but he only drinks. He doesn't touch the ladies," he responded with certainty.Summer couldn't understand how he could say that with confidence. When she gave it a thought, she sensed something off.Perhaps James had a secret kept untold?She wondered, "Is James really devoid of sexual desire? Or is h

Chapter 47

Bradly's fingers caressed Summer's hair. A meaningful smile smeared across his lips. "A long time ago, I wondered why Jamie didn't show interest in women. Sexual desires drive humans inherently. "As long as one is a man, they should be attracted to women. That was why we once assumed that he was devoid of sexual desire. "But it seems like things weren't as we thought they were …"His eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised her chin.Not giving him the chance to take advantage of her, she slapped his hand away. "What are you doing?""You're the first to reject me, Summer." He paused before turning around. His back appeared quite lonely for some reason. "Don't worry. I will never do bad things to you. You're my friend's wife. I'm just thinking of using you to test him since you could be the breaking point.""Test him?" The way Bradly worded it was weird."Yeah, I wanna test him. I wanna test if he really likes you or simply thinks of you as a useful tool. After all, he's press

Chapter 48

James' feelings and intention of using Summer as a tool had nothing to do with her.She was grateful that he helped her out, and as a repayment of his favor, she became his wife.If he genuinely liked her, it would be better, but if he turned out to be devoid of sexual desire, it wouldn't be bad to maintain as a married couple, too.However, that was what Bradly wanted.Frustrated, he flung his hair and sighed. "Summer, we are curious about what's on James' mind. You can be the key to making him open up to people."She didn't care about being the key to making James open up to people, but she definitely sensed something fishy.Bradly kept using first-person plural pronouns when he mentioned the test. That meant there were other people behind this, too!"How many are there?""What?" he questioned back."You said 'We.' I bet you're not the only person who wants to know the answer to your question. There are more." She hit right at the bulls-eye.Only then did he realize that it

A kidnap?Summer couldn't figure out what was going on. In retrospect, Bradly covered her mouth and nose with a cloth, and her memories cut off thereafter.He might have something to do with this, but she couldn't see him anywhere. "Where's Bradly?""He went off to buy something for you in case you're hungry."She asked again, "Who are you? What are you trying to do to me?""Zach Myers is the name. This is just a simple test. Please put up with us for a bit."Frantic, she felt that this wasn't any simple test. They actually tied her up so firmly!Escaping out of there was the first thing that came across her mind, but it was out of the question.The rope wrapping around her was thick, and there were bodyguards. It was impossible to get out of here.The more anxious she was, the quieter she became. Since she couldn't go anywhere, she might as well observe the other party."A simple test, huh? Tell me about it."Zach gladly shared the details. "It's to kidnap you. If James l

Chapter 50

It turned out there was another person behind this!Summer didn't know who Keith was, but that name sounded familiar. She just couldn't remember the face at the moment.At the same time, a voice of an icy tone resounded.A good-looking man showed up in front of Summer. Judging from his features, she guessed that he was a foreigner. His cold disposition was totally different from that of James'.James' cold demeanor was merely directed at strangers, but this man brought the meaning of "destruction" to life. His eyes were so dangerously mesmerizing that they could draw someone into the abyss.Zach and Bradly greeted simultaneously, "You're here, Keith."That was the person who came up with this plan!Summer thought that she was in a game; after beating off those minions, she finally confronted the final-round boss. Keith was literally a living monster due to his intimidating aura.However, it didn't scare her because he was also human. There was nothing to be afraid of.Sh
