Heather jerked his head up, his gaze cold and fierce.Peter's forehead started to sweat as he carefully considered how to report the bad news to his boss."We haven't seen Prisley today, and Mark Grant is missing too. No idea where they went or when they left."He watched Heather nervously, his muscles tensed, ready to dodge anything that might be thrown his way.To his surprise, Heather was quiet.He leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes slightly, looking a bit tired. His breathing was heavy.After a long pause, he finally said, "Got it. You can go."His tone wasn’t harsh; it was strangely calm.Peter left the office, closing the door behind him. He lingered outside for a moment, listening for the sound of anything being thrown, but heard nothing.Finally, he felt relieved and walked away with a lighter step.The sound of the door closing brought Heather back to reality. He realized that Peter had left, and he no longer needed to hide his emotions.He walked over to the sofa and
"Is that you, Prisley?"That voice sounded so familiar!Prisley turned around immediately and saw a familiar figure standing in the hallway.Tall and slender, with a face that was too thin. A well-fitting T-shirt paired with sweatpants, he looked just like she remembered."Spencer!" She exclaimed and ran towards him.Spencer lifted Prisley and spun her around a few times before setting her down.They laughed with excitement, their chests rising and falling with their breaths. Prisley buried her face in his chest."It's really you. What brings you back so suddenly?" He couldn't hide his joy."I just quit my job and thought it was time to visit my parents. I didn't expect to see you here." said Prisley."Spencer, when did you get back?""Just a week ago. I wanted to get settled before telling you.”“After returning from the overseas branch, I asked for remote work so I could take a break.""Your company is great for allowing that.""After all the work I did abroad, they owe me at least t
"I’ve always wanted to tell you…"Spencer’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice."I... I might stay here for quite a while.""What? I waited so long for you to tell me that?" Prisley complained playfully, pinching his cheek.Spencer sighed quietly. "Isn’t that good?" His eyes flickered with a murky glint, holding back too many unspoken words."Of course, it is. By the way, Spencer, do we have any ingredients? I’ll cook for you." Prisley said, opening the fridge."You used to love what I cooked.""Yeah, it’s been years since I had it. I’ve always missed it." Spencer forced a small smile."Wow! You have so much beer! Let's drink a lot tonight!" Prisley said excitedly, chattering non-stop since she saw Spencer.Spencer walked over to the couch and sat down, watching her busy figure with eyes full of love.He wanted to say what he most wanted to in his heart, but he didn't dare.The stable relationship they had maintained for so many years might crumble if he broke the balance. He didn't know what w
This girl he had secretly loved for so many years was now lying in his arms, drunk.She clung to his neck without a care, her soft body pressed against his chest.If he wanted to do something now, it would be so easy.Spencer leaned down and kissed Prisley’s cheek. When his lips reached hers, he paused.His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he clenched his teeth. His breathing was heavy, with a sense of restraint. His lips hovered near hers for a long moment before he pulled away.Leaning back on the couch, he let out a relieved sigh and carried Prisley to the bedroom upstairs, laying her gently on the bed.He turned and went into the bathroom, using cold water to quell the fire inside him.Water poured over him, but his mind was full of the scene Prisley asleep in his arms.She was so soft, so sweet, so unguarded. She truly saw him as her brother, but how could he have such thoughts about her?Spencer closed his eyes, letting the water wash over his face and body, but the fire inside him still
Heather Rynn, the CEO of Warner Group, had been on a five-day business trip and was returning today. Unusually, this time, he didn't take his assistant, Prisley, with him.Prisley had prepared the CEO’s office with freesia flowers. Their subtle fragrance lingered in the air. Heather liked this scent.In her own office, Prisley straightened her hair with a flat iron, then put it up in a high bun. Her original hair was long with golden slightly curly locks. But for the past four years, she had always styled it straight, trying to look like a specific woman, including her way of dressing and behavior.Once her hair was done, Prisley sprayed some perfume into the air above her. She walked through the mist, frowning slightly. She didn't like this perfume, but she had to cater to Heather.Yes, this was also part of her job. She was not only Heather's assistant but also his secret lover, bound by a five-year contract. It was her duty to be in her best condition before his return.The assistan
She was back. What did that make me? The other woman? Prisley felt a wave of sadness.She agreed to the contract because of the money and because Heather was handsome, but the main thing was he was single at that time.No matter how poor Prisley was, she would never get involved in someone else's marriage or relationship. That was her bottom line.Now that Filla had been back and they were so close, Prisley was just the extra person. Heather’s trip this time was really to see Filla, wasn’t it? Otherwise, why didn’t he take her along?The business trip…thinking of it now…Heather had just left Filla’s arms and then came to her for sex? No wonder she felt something was off about him today, something she couldn’t put her finger on, but it was definitely there.Disgusting!Prisley rushed back to the bathroom. The intimacy and excitement moments ago seemed like a joke now!Applying several times the usual amount of shower gel, she scrubbed her skin hard with a sponge, removing the scent of
Prisley’s breath caught as she looked at the check. Her eyes flashed with surprise.Heather glanced at the resignation letter on the desk, his gaze even colder. He picked up the letter and slowly tore it in pieces. He stared at Prisley, "Her return has nothing to do with you. The contract isn’t up yet."His light blue eyes were like icy lake water, sending a shiver down Prisley’s spine. She remained silent for a moment, trying to steady her breathing."Mr. Rynn, the meeting with David is starting in ten minutes. You should go now." She tried to keep her voice steady, but it still trembled.Heather stood up, walked around the desk, and lifted her chin with his fingers. "How dare you think of leaving me?" His possessiveness radiated from him. Then he straightened his tie and walked out. "Go to the meeting," he said over his shoulder.In the conference room, the company’s senior executives were seated. Denis, Heather’s brother as well as the vice president, watched Heather stroll in leisu
Prisley felt a chill run down her spine as she walked out. Her back stiffened.As she closed the door behind her, the sound of breaking glass echoed from the office and made her heart skip a beat. She frowned, knowing that Heather had exploded in anger.Prisley walked over to the Secretariat and spoke to Lisa, a secretary. "Lisa, let everyone know not to enter the president's office for the next twenty minutes."Lisa's eyes widened in surprise. "Is he mad again?"Prisley nodded. "Yes. Tell the janitorial staff to be ready." With that, she went back to her office.Heather's temper was unpredictable. Sometimes, he would fly into a rage for no apparent reason. Prisley was the only one who could calm him down.No matter how angry Heather got, a few gentle words from Prisley would restore his peace. This earned Prisley the nickname "Firefighter" among her colleagues.But this time, she was the cause of the fire.Back at her desk, Prisley hid her face behind a folder and let the tears flow.
