C2 Chapter TWO

I never thought that the new boss, Gray Dexter, would be the man from that night!

At the welcoming ceremony, when I saw his familiar but yet unfamiliar face, I almost collapsed. What kind of world is this?

After working diligently for several years, I finally managed to get myself a position as the head of the Actualization Department. Who would have thought that I would sleep with my boss, just like that?

Having an affair with my boss was a huge workplace taboo.

I lowered my head with a guilty conscience, trying my best to be as unnoticeable as possible.

After everyone left the board room, I dared to secretly turn my head to look at him.

My heart nearly jumped out of my mouth when I caught him staring at me. His eyes scared the hell out of me! Oh my god! He was staring at me! His eyes were bright and full of passion!

He recognized me, he recognized me...

I was trembling as I walked out of the door. Suddenly, I heard him speak to Mr. Patterson, the managing director, "Which department is the one in the black dress in?"

I lowered my head, hoping that I was not wearing a black dress, even though I knew that I sure as hell was. I kept walking, but the exit was far way. The board room was massive.

"Mr. Dexter, she's the manager of the Actualization Department, and her name is Arianna Wilson." Mr. Patterson stopped me. "Wilson, come here for a moment."

I turned slowly and plastered a fake smile on my face. "Good morning, Mr. Dexter."

He was wearing a navy blue shirt. His skin was clean and he was handsome. He looked very elite and cold. The image of him in bed, thrusting into me with deep strokes came flashing before my eyes, and I blushed. I quickly lowered my eyes.

"Arianna is really shy today," Mr. Patterson joked with me. "She doesn't seem to be her normal talkative self."

"That's not true, Mr. Patterson" I said. "I have always been reserved and introverted." I was so nervous.

Then, I heard a chuckle.

Gray Dexter was making fun of me. Did he remember how loud and vocal I was while in bed with him three nights ago?

I blushed even deeper.

I hatefully raised my head to look at him, and I met his deep eyes with mine. In his eyes, there was ridicule, and a hint of... desire that I couldn't understand.

"You may leave." He said, and I was very grateful. I was finally free from him, and we would never cross paths again.

I was so wrong!

Who would have thought that there would be another evil trick up his sleeve? Just as I was about to get off work, Lucas, Mr. Dexter's assistant called to inform me that the boss was asking for me.

What the hell?

I dared not say no, so I walked into the CEO's office with my tail between my legs and stood obediently in front of the office desk.

"Arianna Wilson." Gray Dexter called out my name word by word, as if he was playing with me with his voice.

"Sir, do you need me to do anything for you?" I asked him, faking a smile.

Gray Dexter took out a bank card from the desk drawer and pushed it to me, "There's twenty thousand dollars in it. If you did not use any contraceptive that night, there is a high chance that you get preganant. Go get rid of it." He simply said.

I shuddered. A huge part of me hoped that he did not recognize me as the same woman from three nights ago. Now that I was sure that he recognized me, there was no need to pretend, so I accepted the money.

Gray curled his lips and said in a sarcastic tone, "I thought you would pretend to reject it."

"If I did, you would not stop bugging me." I answered him sincerely. I had really struck gold. I was hopefully pregnant, and at the same time, I received twenty-thousand dollars.

Now, back to my boss.

The more I looked at him, the more attracted I was to him. His blue eyes called me into their depths.

Suddenly, he stood up and grabbed my chin, his cool breath tickling my face. He lowered his voice and stared at me with dark eyes, "Seducing me? Hmm?"

Me? Seduce him? He really thought highly of himself. However, I did not want him to take back the money, so I smiled seductively, lowering my eyes and making them look glazed with desire.

"You admitted it?" His breath came even closer, and his finger moved from my chin to my lips. His slender index finger slowly caressed my lips. an inch at a time.

It was soul-stirring.
