His kiss felt punishing, leaving Calla suffocated and in pain. Although she was angry, she couldn't do anything. Eventually, deprived of oxygen, she could only let him kiss her.That was until a conversation could be heard outside."Mr. Garland, you’re back," Shania greeted Pierre."Ms. Jorg, is Mr. Mercer inside?" "Yes, Ms. Sherman is currently with him," Shania replied.The voices outside frightened Calla. She didn’t want anyone to see her having any kind of relationship with Mercer, especially since this was her workplace.However, Mercer did not immediately let go of her. Instead, he mischievously continued the kiss for a few more seconds before releasing her wrists.As soon as her wrists were freed, Calla immediately shoved at his chest, pushing him back more than a foot away.The office door was pushed open the next moment.Calla turned to see Pierre walking in with a briefcase.Seeing Calla and Mercer standing in front of the desk, Pierre couldn't help but pause. "Y

"Are you really interested in her? She's married and has a child, so forget about it." Pierre waved his hand dismissively.Mercer paused for a moment before scoffing. "My taste isn't so bad that I would be interested in a married woman with a child!" He then stormed out, ignoring Pierre."He's actually upset." Pierre chuckled and shook his head as he watched Mercer walk away.After descending the stairs with a grim expression, he got into his car and ordered, "Let's go."Simon, who was driving, appeared puzzled. Everything seemed fine just moments ago."Where to, Mr. Garland?" "Anywhere's fine," Mercer casually replied.The word "anywhere" put Simon in a difficult position, but he didn't dare ask further questions. He decided to drive onto the road first, and then figure out where to go later.Mercer's dark eyes gazed out the window at the rapidly changing scenery. He thought to himself, "She sure is something. It's only been a little over six months since I last saw her, but

"No way! That's an opportunity for you both, don't you think?" Alicia commented with a hopeful, mischievous grin."What are you talking about? Give me your phone." Calla extended a hand toward Alicia.Alicia pulled her phone out of her bag but teasingly waved it, not handing it over immediately. "Are you going to call your boss?""Of course! My phone is with him. He can't contact me otherwise," Calla replied."You should be careful when you call," Alicia reminded her as she handed over the phone."What do you mean?" Calla asked, puzzled."Are you dumb? It's almost 10:00 pm. If you call now, you might make his wife or girlfriend think you're the other woman!" Alicia laughed.Calla hesitated at this. She was pretty sure Pierre didn't have a wife, but she didn't know if he was living with a girlfriend.Still worried about whether her phone was indeed with Pierre, she decided to call her own number. She thought this would avoid any misunderstandings since it was her own phone chimi

At 3:00 am, Calla got up again to check Pierre's temperature. Confirming his fever had subsided, she returned to the couch to sleep, finally feeling relieved.When daylight broke, Calla felt something move beside her, and she groggily opened her eyes. She was startled to see Pierre, dressed in pajamas, squatting by the couch and staring at her.Alarmed, she quickly sat up.When Pierre noticed her surprise, he felt somewhat awkward. He quickly pointed at the blanket covering her. "The blanket fell off, so I put it back on you.""Oh, thank you," Calla murmured, tucking her hair behind her ear. She blushed when she realized she was still wearing Pierre's white shirt.Pierre must have sensed her embarrassment then. He stood up, ran his hand through his hair, and smiled. "Actually, I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't brought the fever medicine and stayed over to take care of me, I'd probably still be out of it."Calla looked down. Even though she wanted to stand up, she fe

That morning, Calla made an excuse to leave Pierre's house and quickly departed after changing into her own clothes. Pierre kindly offered to drive her, but she firmly refused.The incident had already led to a misunderstanding with Mercer. Calla did not want anyone else to misinterpret the situation.Reflecting on the events of that morning, Calla felt a pang of self-reproach. Her actions had indeed created an opportunity for misunderstanding. Fortunately, it wasn't Pierre's girlfriend who had come over. Otherwise, Calla might have been accused of being a homewrecker and be subjected to a confrontation. It certainly would have been hard to explain herself under the circumstances.After that incident, Pierre seemed to appreciate Calla's work even more. He entrusted her with many important tasks at the company, some of which were personal matters.Although Calla was hired by Pierre and couldn't refuse his assignments, she felt that his level of trust had surpassed the usual employ
